Goodbye: umbig11
For those of you that missed it in the "Weekend" Michigan Family thread, umbig11 will be leaving the board to work for Rivals. Congrats on the new position, your inside knowledge and willingness to interact with the board will be missed.

Way to get paid umbig11! You're input was great, and you will be missed!

he was one of the only guys with real good insider connections that posts here and was probably the best in that regard
January 23rd, 2017 at 10:40 AM ^
January 23rd, 2017 at 1:42 PM ^
thank you
January 23rd, 2017 at 10:41 AM ^
Could you possibly wait until February 2nd to start your new gig?
January 23rd, 2017 at 10:42 AM ^
ranking the rankers post has rival near the bottom.
They must be selling hope.
Good luck anyway umbig11, thanks for the great info.
January 23rd, 2017 at 10:46 AM ^
For me and the rest of the board, can you shed a little light on your relationship to the team. Not so much that you give it away, but are you a friend of the team or a friend of the staff? Something more?
Thanks!
January 23rd, 2017 at 10:47 AM ^
Unlike 11warriors, um11 had knowledge, class and good communication skills... Okay, basically he has everything good and buckeyes are way down in the negative column. You will be missed.
January 23rd, 2017 at 11:27 AM ^
Agreed. If he had been just a bit more articulate he could have written for RCMB. ;)
January 23rd, 2017 at 10:48 AM ^
but I'll miss the free insider scoop. At times, you stopped the rampant paranoia going on around here. Now, I'll just have to drink more beer.
January 23rd, 2017 at 10:50 AM ^
I didn't think he was legit at first, but he proved me wrong. Good luck at Rivals UMBig11. We will miss you.
January 23rd, 2017 at 10:54 AM ^

The Rivals guys cruise around MGoBlog a fair amount. They just don't post here. (Or if they do, they do it anonymously.) They frequently throw out some thinly veiled insults about other sites, including MGoBlog.
January 23rd, 2017 at 11:12 AM ^
January 23rd, 2017 at 12:25 PM ^
Hopefully umbig11 replaces some writers they have on staff.
Insert bee emoticon.

Hi Rivals!
(Just saying Hi, I don't know shit.)
January 23rd, 2017 at 10:54 AM ^
January 23rd, 2017 at 11:30 AM ^
Don't you mean umbig12"
January 23rd, 2017 at 2:07 PM ^
I am not umbig11. I promise under threat of castration and deportation that I will not shitpost as if I'm credible. I think you will find that while I am knowledgable about UM football, the Athletic Department and UM in general, I offer the blog nothing more than my own opinions - I do not have any insider information to share.
My username is an homage to the one, true umbig11, whose insights I have enjoyed as a spectator. I think we will all miss him and his contributions. I hope my username will be a semi-humorous reminder to those who enjoyed him on the blog.
The end.
umbig11

It wasn't Magnus who got plucked from the ranks?
Well, I'll be damned...
January 23rd, 2017 at 1:10 PM ^
...and here you are posting about me again, totally unprompted. That's weird.
January 23rd, 2017 at 1:29 PM ^
I just assumed since you are such an expert on all things hip-bend that it would be you who was destined to be hired to creepily stalk high school kids.
It seems amatuerism is your bread and butter.
January 23rd, 2017 at 1:33 PM ^
You're the only person who thinks I'm an expert. So thank you.
Again, the name calling, the negativity, the unprompted paying of attention to me... I don't think it's healthy.
January 23rd, 2017 at 1:57 PM ^
Has his own outlet for UM related info - check
Monitized said outlet based on web traffic - check
Magnus makes a big contribution to the blog. If you have a specific complaint about his analysis of "bend", perhaps you should address it. I have strong opinions on the issue and I'd like to discuss them in detail.
January 23rd, 2017 at 4:37 PM ^
You must be new here.
I've made my issues known.
He publishes and comments his amatuer "analysis" as expert analysis and it disingenuous.
He knows nothing more about football or prospects and their skills than any other common observer.

I'm not going to sift through all of your bullshit comments to find anything.
It's more like if a normal idiot starts giving medical advice on a website and people start listening to him. It's disingenuous at best and dangerous at worst.
That's what you are. The normal idiot giving medical advice.
January 24th, 2017 at 10:23 AM ^
So...speaking of bulls***, you said that I claim to be an expert, but when asked to provide one shred of evidence, you have none.
Again with the name calling. You're hiding behind words like "idiot" because you really don't have a clue what you're talking about. You bring me up at random times for no reason, just because you are grumpy on the internet.
I'm not an expert. I've said that a bunch of times before. So maybe you should bookmark this comment and refer back to it the next time you feel like making a ridiculous assertion. It's not a good look.
January 24th, 2017 at 3:01 PM ^
I look fine thanks.
I'm entitled to think you're a jackass. An amatuer and a clown.

Congrats! Thanks for the hookup with helping me buy MSU tickets a few years ago
January 23rd, 2017 at 11:38 AM ^
umbig11 is the bigger loss.
January 23rd, 2017 at 11:47 AM ^
Good luck to him; he's been very helpful providing some context to the recruiting scene.
January 23rd, 2017 at 11:54 AM ^
Does this mean we'll finally know his name?
January 23rd, 2017 at 12:22 PM ^
Wait, it's not Um Bigll?
January 23rd, 2017 at 12:47 PM ^
SOS tix or something??
January 23rd, 2017 at 1:24 PM ^
Surprised its rivals and not 247. UMBig11 was even more forthcoming on that site than here.
Sorry to see ya go but congrats on the paying gig.

So Saturday was his last day on the board. He SAYS it's because of a deal with Rivals, but what if it isn't? What if he had another job, a really important job, that just started and will keep him busy for a while, like the next 4 years? umbig11 is Trump, Trump is umbig11!
January 23rd, 2017 at 1:53 PM ^
I'm not buying it. Umbig11 doesn't use "huge" or "great" or "so" enough.
