National Signing Day: The Hub
OKAY SO HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. You're gonna load this page and it's just gonna sit there. You will not hit refresh. Our two twitter collections will update automatically, putting the news in your eyeballs. Twitter collection #1 is news-only, who has gone where. Twitter collection #2 is the ongoing exultation/panic/depression thread. To participate just @ me.
We are caching the front page, which means you will appeared logged out. You will be logged in on interior pages. Going to interior pages may result in 503s and the like; staying on the front page will get you the latest and greatest news without such risk.
OKAY SO HERE'S OUR SPONSOR. Yep, Homesure Lending. It's like all those Rocket commercials except 1) Matt was not a major contributor to the subprime crisis, so he's got that going for him, 2) Matt never wrote a letter to LeBron James in comic sans*, 3) Matt goes out to various companies to get you the best possible rate. My lender has the word "wholesale" in its name, and this makes me feel great. Also the rate.
Matt's got a ticket offer going for a Michigan football or basketball game. If you're buying a home or refinancing, he's the right guy to call.
*[Probably. I have not checked with him to make sure this is true.]
OKAY SO THIS IS THE SCHEDULE.
- 8:10 AM: TN WR Nate Johnson. Michigan.
- 9 AM: MI CB Lavert Hill. Michigan.
10 AM: MI OL Alaric Jackson. M, Iowa, Nebraska.- 11 AM: MI K Quinn Nordin. Michigan.
11:30 AM: AZ DE Connor Murphy. Michigan, USC, Oregon, ASU.- 1 PM: NJ DE Rashan Gary. Michigan.

3PM: CA DT Boss Tagaloa. Michigan, USC, UCLA, UW.4PM: CA QB Vic Viramontes. Michigan, Utah, Cal.
OKAY SO THIS IS THE NEWS-ONLY TWITTER COLLECTION
OKAY SO THIS IS THE EXULTATION/PANIC/DEPRESSION THREAD
Answering questions whilst chained to my laptop all day. If I don't get to yours it's almost certainly because it's already been answered several times already, or I'm answering it right now. Greg Little is not flipping. I deeply regret ever bringing his name up in speculation. There is no silent commit whose name isn't on the schedule above. Don't tweet at croots.

What a total miss from the blog. Reduced to freaking twitter collections???
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:53 AM ^
You're totally right. It would be so much better if they tried to keep updating the site while the repeated server requests from all of us clicking "refresh" completely nerfed their server. Good call.
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:59 AM ^
The good call is to upgrade their infrastructure 6 months ago, a year ago, two years ago. This isn't a new issue and today was not a surprise.
February 3rd, 2016 at 10:41 AM ^
You should totally demand a refund of your membership dues to MGoBlog. You are clearly not getting what you paid for here.
February 3rd, 2016 at 1:04 AM ^
I'm not sober, but this is like seeing the Rosetta Stone, the first time and knowing it is important but not understanding it at all.
February 3rd, 2016 at 1:14 AM ^
Seriously, could someone please translate this into English? I would like to maximize my MGoBlog experience.
February 3rd, 2016 at 1:40 AM ^
Stay on the front page all day today and you will get news and analysis live. We are planning to get thwomped by traffic so Matt sprung for some additiona internet power and we are gonna make Twitter do most of the heavy lifting. If you want to say something in the saying things box, Twitter Brian.
February 3rd, 2016 at 1:45 AM ^
That was very helpful
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:28 AM ^
Would it be good or bad to start an open thread until the servers go boom - before moving over to the front page for the remained of the day.
Also, can someone start a thread tonight when things are uncached and back to normal? There's a good chance post-Gary I'm going to just hold off until things are "all clear."
Good luck today to you and the team, you all have done a phenomenal job all year with this crootin' thing.
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:34 AM ^
I'm not a twitterer either, so is Brian's twitter @mgoblog? And if so do I just type that in the search and when he comes up just add him. Or do I have to send out a tweet of my own? Yes, before anyone asks, I am ashamed.
February 3rd, 2016 at 1:33 AM ^
Yeah this was like reading Arabic. No idea what any of it means
February 3rd, 2016 at 1:40 AM ^
profound and true
February 3rd, 2016 at 1:04 AM ^

Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
February 3rd, 2016 at 2:24 AM ^

February 3rd, 2016 at 1:05 AM ^

Are your knees weak? Arms heavy? Vomit on your sweater? Mom's spaghetti?

But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down.
February 3rd, 2016 at 6:58 AM ^
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:16 AM ^

I am not a Twitterer. Do I need an account to see the live updates?

MichiganExile is wrong, you are SOL.
February 3rd, 2016 at 1:13 AM ^
I'm working all night, then going home to lay 600 sqft of hardwood floors on no sleep. my nsd isn't going to be that great : \
February 3rd, 2016 at 1:44 AM ^
Wood type? Thickness? Underlay?
February 3rd, 2016 at 2:15 AM ^
3/4 inch oak. roofing paper under lay
February 3rd, 2016 at 2:27 AM ^
and not nailing or gluing, smart man.
Engineered or solid, been in the flooring industry for 10 years. I prefer engineered.
February 3rd, 2016 at 2:55 AM ^
it's engineered. my best friends family owns a wood flooring company
February 3rd, 2016 at 3:14 AM ^
I love the hand scraped distressed look. Santos Mahogany is one of my favorites. Good luck with the floor buddy!
February 3rd, 2016 at 4:14 AM ^
thanks! hope everyone has a fun nsd!
February 3rd, 2016 at 9:42 AM ^
I'm going to lay wood tonight too. Hopefully a couple times.
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:08 AM ^

February 3rd, 2016 at 1:13 AM ^
I just wanted to make a comment on such an historic day......that was it.

Yeah, I'm not seeing the whole "don't refresh" thing working out too well.
February 3rd, 2016 at 1:22 AM ^
The time has come. Legit more excited than I was for Christmas
February 3rd, 2016 at 1:15 AM ^

How many blue balls are out there for Lavert Hill
February 3rd, 2016 at 1:23 AM ^
Signing day is upon us! Let's everybody stay away from bridges or tall buildings until the signing commences....and remeber, those who (sign)stay will be champions! Go blue!
February 3rd, 2016 at 1:26 AM ^
They are balls in. I am munching them now. Oddly this NSD I am at peace. Despite the sugar and caffeine this late hour. I wouldn't have slept anyway.
February 3rd, 2016 at 1:30 AM ^
Seriously, I am a twitterer and I have no fucking idea what the hell was just "explained" above. Who the fuck is Mike Babcock's hair and do I have to follow new twitter handles or what?
Can you just send Steve Lorenz to my job and have him tell me what's going on? That would great. Thanks.
February 3rd, 2016 at 1:29 AM ^
No more posting negative shit. Everything after the game tonight has been total shit.
