Your MGoName
I can't remember this being posted, if it's ever been done, so if it somehow slipped my attention I'll apologize now. Even so, we have quite a few new peeps around here, and I am constantly wondering why you chose your MGoName.
Some, of course, are obvious.
Some are not. Like, "Brian." Always confused me.
Why did you choose yours?
I'm really hoping Misopogon answers.

Aroused?
January 29th, 2010 at 3:26 PM ^
It looks more like an octopus' vagina to me, though.
January 30th, 2010 at 3:09 PM ^
I stand corrected
January 30th, 2010 at 3:08 PM ^
Always
January 29th, 2010 at 6:24 PM ^
You would know...
Edit: I was just joking, easy killers.
January 30th, 2010 at 3:10 PM ^
I hope they weren't neg-banging you for THAT! Good stuff. (Though I doubt you care...)

Glenn Winston's future asshole.

I still had to laugh

I was on internship in Maine the year I learned about mgoblog. My friend turned me onto it just before The Horror. Don't know how I would have coped without this site. Since then have lived in AZ and now in VA, but neither "Arizonaandblue" or "Virginiaandblue" have much of a ring to them.
My avatar has nothing to do with anything, other than the fact that I really love the Drive By Truckers and that album cover. Should probably change it to something Michigan related one of these days...
EDIT: Avatar fixed. This is my 3 month old husky/pit puppy, Maizey Blue.

The Huron Valley Humane Society might as well be Huron Valley Pit Bull Society, like many other shelters around the nation.

and yes, i did play football in the rose bowl. four times.

Although.... in light of all the "Walmart Wolverine" discussions, I feel compelled to note that I am not only a fan but also an alum! :)

I used to be on the radio and at my first station someone called me the Radio Hero because he thought my voice sounded like the old Mighty Mouse announcer saying "Here he comes to save the day."
My friends in the industry continued to call me Hero. I actually worked at AM 1050 WPZA before it was WTKA, but I wasn't the radio hero when I was on the air there.
January 28th, 2010 at 1:45 PM ^
I was an intern for Jeff DeFran at WPZA while at UofM. We started out at the old building on Main St. and moved to Domino's Farms. Art Regner was there at the time, too.

When I first started commenting on haloscan and live blogs I was a 10th year senior here at UM. I take part time classes paying out of pocket and now I'm a 12th year senior who'll finally be done with my BA in December.

My initials are TB. A roommate that I lived w/ on Dewey thought my last name was Bliggins. Which, other than starting w/ 'B', isn't even close to my last name. So that stuck as a nickname.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:57 PM ^
We cheer with might and main.
Or at least that's what we should do, as the MGoFans.

College of Engineering, graduated back in 1977.
Tangentially: a shout out to Jake Long, one of my favorite players.

I parked in the general vicinity of that car in the picture for the Purdue game this year.

TIMMMAAY!

One of the all-time great cartoons led to the name:
Mr. McBlue - represents myself and the undying fandom which I possess
and - including
RR too - our fearless leader, Mr. Rodriguez (hence the pic of him from his days at glenville state)
January 28th, 2010 at 1:00 PM ^
Far as I know, I'm the only alum in this zip though I run into a few originally from Michigan. Started using it on Varsity Blue.
By the way Tim, it is time for another instalment of "Big Ten Recruiting Rankings." I miss it.
January 28th, 2010 at 1:05 PM ^
I had a group of friends that I used to hang out with, more than one of us was named Bill so in order to distinguish the "Bill's" I was labeled BaldBill, since I shave my head.
January 28th, 2010 at 1:06 PM ^
I've had mine for other sites and such. It seemed a natural here.
January 28th, 2010 at 1:08 PM ^
Yeah... no mysteries here, I think

Feldman runs through my dreams all night long too...

My favorite Tecmo Super Bowl play (going along with the picture on the left) - my go to deep out was Anthony Carter on the Vikings and the computer could never seem to cover him.
January 28th, 2010 at 5:12 PM ^
Giants had the better flea flicker...
January 28th, 2010 at 5:21 PM ^
But the computer could see that he got injured mid season. Curse you angry Techmo Bowl star player hating Gods.

ebbtide was my grandpa's CB handle back in the day. Our last name starts with "Eb". I stole it..
And since i've been asked before, the avatar is from a velvet painting that hung in the bathroom of a house in detroit where I used to party.

Back when I was a kid in the 70s, UM had a starting wide receiver named Rodney Feaster. I always thought that was a cool name, and I used to feel sorry for the guy: we had such a powerful rushing attack with Leach, etc, that we almost never threw the ball. Wide receivers existed mainly to block in those days under Bo. Finally, though, in I believe the '78 OSU game, he caught a long TD pass from Leach to seal the game. That moment cemented him in my memory.
January 28th, 2010 at 1:10 PM ^
it is descriptive while being vague about where in this cesspool of a state I live.
January 28th, 2010 at 1:11 PM ^
My middle name
January 28th, 2010 at 1:12 PM ^
Simply "Hemlock Philosopher" is Socrates. But this name was brought to my attention when my brother and his friends were coming up with (mostly crass) rock band names during a night of imbibing. Since I studied philosophy at Michigan, I nicked it. Now my brother and I are thinking of starting a brewery and calling it Hemlock Philosopher's.
January 28th, 2010 at 2:34 PM ^
having the word hemlock on a beverage may give some folks pause
January 28th, 2010 at 6:34 PM ^
Some of the guys I ran with back in school were kind of proud that they'd drink just about anything.
Something with "Hemlock" on the label - yeah, that would probably be the first thing they'd pull off the shelf.

Pres of the bowling club, so naturally MGoBowl made sense.
January 28th, 2010 at 4:05 PM ^
I had assumed you were stating a desired outcome for the 2009 (or any) M football season.

when i eat corn, i say that i am "maize-ing," and i eat a lot of corn.

at Steamboat in '08? I saw someone sking the trees with a winged ski helment an of course loved it... never seen one before or after until today.
January 28th, 2010 at 2:13 PM ^
not steamboat, but i was at vail and keystone that season. maybe some copycat at steamboat stole my idea.
i mean, who steals someone else's idea for a sports helmet design? not cool.
January 28th, 2010 at 1:16 PM ^
Last name + my husky's name.

I always figured you were just a big fan of the Bruce Willis movie "Hudson Hawk." And that you thought Bruce Willis's last name was Wilson.

When I was a kid my family lived in Spring Lake, MI for a few years. Our favorite place was the Clover Bar for pizza, where I'd sink quarter after quarter playing 1942 (or was it 1941?). Also, walking to The Front Porch for ice cream during the summer months is another good memory.
But, what I remember most about Spring Lake: the big trees - the ones that had been there for a very long time - and Lake Michigan in the summer. Not sure if it has changed over the years, but it remains beautiful in my mind's eye.
January 28th, 2010 at 11:53 PM ^
You mean the Clover Bar in Grand Haven? (My girlfriend's family lives in GH and I still haven't actually eaten at the CB, but I do know it's south of the river.)

I'm majoring in Movement science (school of kinesiology), and I love whaling on nerds.
...OK I'm actually just a big nerd.
January 29th, 2010 at 10:02 PM ^
You should have said majoring in kinesiology first. Couldn't tell if you were talking about changing residence, music, or crapping!!!
