After the 3rd or 4th thread today, how about using the banhammer on users who feel the need to post Brady Hoke personal attack threads.
October 27th, 2014 at 6:09 PM ^
The last couple won't be making new threads any time soon, same for any new ones.
October 27th, 2014 at 6:08 PM ^
Same story.

One Comment on Little Brother
At 71 downvotes, this one has probably run its course - apologies for not being around. Plugged dishwasher drains are funny like that.

One nostalgia thread stayed up, but following rich people with Michigan connections around via flight tracker is going too far.
People with private jets often have them because they do routine business all over the place, and the odds are basically 100% what's going on here.

Potential explanation for Peppers not playing
He's hurt. I am not sure why some believe that there are more things afoot in this regard, although I suppose a bit more transparency from Schembechler Hall might not be such a bad thing now and again.

Just curious as to why someone with such a negative history of posting is allowed to continue to do so...

I forgot to mention that it was me who awarded WD 1 million (pinkie finger touching corner of lips) MGoPoints for the rest of the year, to ease the pain and suffering he experienced over the past few weeks leading up to Wednesday's Dave Brandon email front-pager.

Yeah, this one didn't go so well, and perhaps understandably so.

No, the satire tag did not, in fact, make that any more acceptable.

Came across this spambot account in the tickets for sale sticky thread. Looks like she only posted the once, but the account was never deleted, thought you might want to kill it;

Also this thread titled: Mods; Delete please* can probably come down as the OP requested.

OT: Winston and Point Shaving Accusations
Let's go with something like this when it is more than TMZ speculating on it, OK? Otherwise, my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

You can't just add "Freedom of Speech" as a tag and expect us to leave something up. That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works.
November 10th, 2014 at 12:14 PM ^
Nothing quite screams "internet" like someone claiming "freedom of speech" when reposting a nothing post on a blog about the "safety" of Michigan players and S&C.

Usually, I will see these and just remove them, but at barely 8 AM on a Tuesday, sometimes I wonder what the pressing matter was.
November 11th, 2014 at 9:23 AM ^
If you moused over the link before it was removed, you'd see that it was the 35th thread titled "Delete."
OK, maybe not that interesting.
November 11th, 2014 at 3:45 PM ^
nor should you.
November 11th, 2014 at 3:52 PM ^
Just like I posted in that thread, I respectfully argue that the knee-jerk anti-Gregg Henson policy is a bit misguided. He was in the Detroit market long enough to cultivate a number of sources. Sure, he's a bit goofy, but it's undeniable he has sources at Michigan. As State Street pointed out, he had the story about Schlissel going to practice before anybody else did. The piece in question about Harbaugh isn't egregious in the least.
Long story short, he's not Ace Williams. This is a guy who has worked in the SE Michigan media. I think it's more than fair to discuss his work here. But, it's not my blog. Just a suggestion.
November 12th, 2014 at 1:06 PM ^
It was not a knee-jerk reaction. We were getting almost daily posts from him, then people see the thread posted about what Henson said, and say they heard it on MGoBlog that... and I had to make a call. Before doing so, I tried to have a conversation with him on Twitter (and BiSB chimed in as well), and it was that conversation, where Henson demonstrated he clearly didn't know the first thing about credibility and sourcing, that made the decision easy.
The problem with Henson is he posts EVERYTHING his sources tell him, with no context or filter except what Henson wants to happen. It's also who the sources are. Around Michigan there are sources, and then there's the low-hanging fruit: some former players with strong opinions, a couple of big donors, and then some HS coaches around the Midwest whose players get recruited and hear "things." I personally don't spend a lot of time cultivating sources--most who want their thing known email Brian not me--so I have a fair sense of the people who REALLY want to share something, because I end up CC'ed on the thing to Brian that Brian doesn't post. A lot of what Henson's posting is stuff that we don't put up because we can tell rigth off that it has no good basis.
The guy is a rumormongerer, as designed to promote himself via threads on message boards as Drew Sharp is. We're not gonna play along.
I didn't use the insta-ban rule like I did for Ace Williams posting. People are welcome to throw Henson's crap into threads, e.g. the one about Foote's comments. But no threads just for Henson rumors, because Henson rumors are a dime a dozen and don't meet any reasonable standard of credibility.
November 11th, 2014 at 3:58 PM ^
CC: Hayden Fox
This was inserted as a joke into a previous CC thread a few weeks ago. Actually, let's stick to A) real people (but keep Hayden in our back pocket) and B) choices were a good argument for feasibility can be made if only to reduce the clutter and keep other content visible.

Real OT: Got any grapes?
A standard deviation or two beyond allowable OT during the season. At the very least, it could have been our first play from scrimmage against Maryland, which will look something like this peformance -
November 13th, 2014 at 8:18 PM ^
If our first play from scrimmage included a brunette in shorty shorts and a guy in a rocket costume with smoke billowing from his ass, I'd say that would top M00N for sheer entertainment purposes.
November 12th, 2014 at 11:15 AM ^
Well, sort of...
Pres Schlissel clarifies remarks about athletics/academics
This was the first thread created, but the other one has a nice summary to go with it, so this is a semi-editorial decision. Nothing wrong with the thread and no offense meant to anyone.

Is there not an option to merge threads?
