Wooo taking down threads with Brian comments.
September 19th, 2015 at 6:33 PM ^
Should be a comment in a snowflake thread.

HARBAUGH needs a stylist
I dare say that the OP probably needs to come up with a more comprehensive fashion critique before trying this subject again. Actually, no....don't do that either. Let Harbaugh be Harbaugh.
September 21st, 2015 at 10:20 AM ^
Did you enjoy the game?
I did. What I did not enjoy, however, was this thread, nor did anyone else.
Also, the self-upvote -
September 22nd, 2015 at 10:08 AM ^
Rudock = Andrew Luck
Even though the OP admits to this not really being a comparison, it still ended up framed that way and as a result the thread didn't go all that well.

ESPN Is The Worst (but we already knew that)
The "Harbaugh To Colts" thing that ProFootballTalk started was really already covered, but I would agree, ESPN is the worst sometimes, especially when it comes to futile NFL speculation that they can turn into an 8-hour news event which lacks actual news.

The college recruitment of Tom Brady
Granted, during the season, the blog is prone to lapping itself with stories like this, but usually it isn't within hours of the original thread....and using the same title too, save for the lack of capitalization on "college" and "recruitment", as some observed.
September 25th, 2015 at 2:28 PM ^
Sorry can't use the board as a kiosk, even if you mean well. Hope an hour of blind eye got you a candidate or two.
September 26th, 2015 at 1:53 PM ^
Because oddly enough, I've figured out how to do this while mobile....sort of...
Why do broadcast teams always come to the Big House and kiss the other team's shoes?
They do this in a lot of games not involving Michigan too. ABC / ESPN is funny like that.
Snowflake: Offense
Snowflake thread masked as not a snowflake thread turns out to be snowflake thread after all. Fail.
September 26th, 2015 at 3:34 PM ^
BYU SnowFlakes?!
Apparently, this needs to be explained again - the term "snowflakes" refers to the flurry of thoughts - potentially threads - that would otherwise clog the board and drown out better content. It is non-judgmental with respect to the quality of the game, whether Michigan won or lost, etc...
I assumed that was clear.
September 26th, 2015 at 9:13 PM ^
Not sure what good could possibly come out of student punishment fantasies after a 31-0 win.
September 27th, 2015 at 10:18 PM ^
Is "It" upon us already?
It is upon us - the eclipse and the Blood Moon are nearing peak and you won't see this again until 2033. If you can, enjoy that - not the "it" the OP was dicussing per se.
September 28th, 2015 at 9:43 AM ^
Week 4 Bowl Projections
We've already got a discussion of this up - another topic where I think you have to get up pretty early in the morning to get this past the blogerati here.

"Who's got it better than us?" Chant
In a day when a lot of things seem to be coming out that are at least semi-newsworthy, this thread probably doesn't need to stay.
October 1st, 2015 at 1:27 PM ^
I reinstated it. I like that fans think this is the place to come to start new traditions.
September 28th, 2015 at 9:31 PM ^
Just out of curiosity why does MGo not have an OT forum?
September 28th, 2015 at 11:49 PM ^
Is it time for the Big Ten to start being afraid of Michigan?
The same poster double posting two threads in a row has to be some kind of record. Can we get a Superguide ruling on this?
September 29th, 2015 at 11:28 PM ^
Lots of topics not discussed on this site + tenuous connection to anything on topic = pulled.
September 30th, 2015 at 2:28 PM ^
The thread about ESPN's feature on MSU was deleted?
September 30th, 2015 at 7:27 PM ^
Hurricane Joaquin open thread...
I am just going to go out on a limb and say we're fine for Hurricane Joaquin coverage as it relates to this weekend's game for the time being.
September 30th, 2015 at 11:47 PM ^
Michigan vs Utah Rose Bowl kickoff
MSU Kickoff
I think we just have to deal with what TV gives us....quietly, stoically. In any case, I get it - speculating on kickoff time is ultimately rather futile.
October 1st, 2015 at 11:43 AM ^
Dave Brandon: Toys R Us and Outsourcing EDIT: Mods, delete
Removed at the request of the OP. Yeah, I think there was a thread about this the other day that didn't go all that well actually.
October 1st, 2015 at 11:08 PM ^
If your slideshow link includes "hottest of" there's almost no chance it's going to stay. Also applies to most other slideshow type links.

Ojemudia injury long term--probable Achilles tear.
I threw the new information in the other existing injury thread- I think we can run with the one for now.
October 4th, 2015 at 10:15 AM ^
OT: Hawaii Taking Their Nicknames a Little Too Seriously...
I don't think this was going too well, and indeed, opinion-based threads - especially about uniforms - are a dangerous proposition sometimes.
October 4th, 2015 at 6:14 PM ^
Wood strikes again
Thread titles, man. We need to title better. We'll work on it in practice this week, eh?
October 6th, 2015 at 12:57 PM ^
Aesculus glabra, bro.
October 7th, 2015 at 1:59 PM ^
Posted on the front page with locked thread so board thread was superfluous. Prefer not to have anyone know we have readers who think this shit is okay.
October 7th, 2015 at 8:10 PM ^
A reader had a legal question, was referred to legal people who probably know way less about football than us.

FRIDAY POSBANG:
Except that it is Thursday.
October 8th, 2015 at 11:39 AM ^
Now that I have a chance to be reflective this week -
OT: Cubbies Win POSBANG!
Posbangs should be used sparingly outside the stated bounds from the "End Of OT" post in August.
OT: Drunk UConn student refuses to leave dining hall without bacon jalapeno mac and cheese, acts like douche, gets arrested
Funny as it was (that's why it stayed up as long as it did), I think we can move on now.
MIght add more later.
October 10th, 2015 at 11:48 PM ^
Durkin: HC Candidate
This one wasn't going terribly well.
October 12th, 2015 at 12:12 AM ^
Warning, this post is extremely meta and many won't care. Fine, no need to read.
Normally every mod action on an OP ends with signed work somewhere. Whether that's here, or ending an OP with Mod edit: blah blah blah JGB. or posting a comment to the same effect. With the end of OT season we'll be removing (or maybe adding, but mostly removing) OT tags from posts that aren't off topic and frankly I don't think it's worth it to clutter posts or comments with a note saying why.
If anything else is changed there will be a note. If this happens to your post please don't take offense. If you have a question about it go ahead and ask here in the mod sticky.

(OT) Chase Utley
With some video and analysis, I would be tempted to let it stand, but simply stating that the suspension is "kind of a joke" isn't setting up well for a good discussion.
October 12th, 2015 at 3:13 PM ^
I suggest you find a new blog to post threads to. I really don't care about your threads. Have a happy life.
October 12th, 2015 at 5:02 PM ^
OT : Florida QB Will Grier suspended for the rest of season
Still on the front page.
October 12th, 2015 at 5:18 PM ^
The board is seriously lapping itself today -
OT: Will Grier Suspended, Sarkisian Drinks Would Be Good GameDay Sign For Saturday
Another Gameday Sign

Dantonio is Salty
Five fakes out of five on this one.
Woodson is amazing!!!!
I believe we had a thread discussing the interceptions yesterday.
October 13th, 2015 at 7:28 AM ^
There are times where I feel we make threads for the sake of making them...

I think this one got off on the wrong foot and sort of went astray from there.

Is this reliable info?

Fact: If we have posbangs in anticipation of every blog feature we'll implode in a meta/divide by zero situation.
Can someone help with guide to watching game in flight on Delta
Kiosk. OP got in touch with someone willing to help.

Pure Michigan: Harbaugh Edition
Already posted. For the most part, we have to assume that "Harbaugh" = "Posted within 5 minutes"
Beat State: Michigan Hype video
Turns out this is a duplicate thread.
2015 Hype Show : Beat State
I think this is the same video that was a duplicate earlier today, or at least the YOuTube link pointed the same hype video. It seems as if it has been removed too. If I am in error, let me know here and I'll restore it and apologies in advance if that's the case.

Another thread was repurposed - this one was removed at the OP's request.
October 17th, 2015 at 1:09 PM ^
By popular snark/demand, I'll be doing something starting next week similar to LSA's snowflake threads. Comment with any suggestions, right now I'm thinking Wednesday but I'm open to anything that makes sense.
October 17th, 2015 at 8:17 PM ^
Might be a long night, but to stem the initial tide...
Dantonio = Tressel
There's a coaching snowflake. This wouldn't go over well there either.
Fuck
Plenty of that in the misery thread, and rightly so.
