Wow you google translated "Dakich is a traitor" in a post having nothing to do with that. No, you're definitely not a troll. Not at all.

just read the article. while i certainly wouldn't want my kids doing that crud, how is that different than about 90% of the rest of the undergrad population?
November 10th, 2017 at 6:32 AM ^
I had my first real drink at 15, was getting plastered regularly by junior year of HS along with most of my friends, and by the time I got to UM booze and pot were a pretty regular evening accompaniment in the dorms and apartments I lived in.
Oddly enough, it never occurred to me to be persuaded to down 21 shots on my birthday or handcuff myself to anybody regardless of how hammered I was.

LOL. My daughter did the normal amount of partying in HS—although much less than I got away with—so that by the time she got to college she sneered at the flushed-faced freshmen girls in her dorm from Green Bay and La Croix who vomited uncontrollably after their first encounter with Leinenkugel and Jaegermeister. The fact that she was in Madison attending Wisconsin, one of the nation's drunkest party schools, made it all the more ironic to me.

I am convinced that UPers are a different species altogether. Can you confirm that all UPers hunt bear and love motocross?
November 10th, 2017 at 12:26 PM ^
motocross types. they exist, but a small pocket only. snow machines is/are a different story. and as for bear, a good bear is a good meal. yes, they do actually taste like pork and when you are skinning them they are pretty similar too. indeed, you call a male bear a bore and a female a sow, just as you do for pigs.

Which raises the question, When did the Village Bell close?
November 10th, 2017 at 10:05 AM ^
Not sure what everyone is all outraged about.
But I'm also not clear on what effect the school "suspending" greek life would actually have. The frats own the houses.
November 10th, 2017 at 12:18 PM ^
Is that it's not "the school" suspending Greek life activities, but the council, which is comprised of students overseeing Greek life on campus. The frats agreed to abide by the IFC rules and decisions.

because a) that was not even close to what I expected it to translate into b) Gulo actually re-google reseached it
November 10th, 2017 at 9:47 AM ^
Cumong, man, let's take a look at this.
First of all, Greek has a perfectly good letter to take care of that first phoneme in Dakich's name, so let's use that. Second, εἴναι requires a breathing mark, but surely you want the third person singular rather than the infinitive, so we'll need to change this to ἐστί. Get a rough breathing mark over the article if you can, but apparently my keyboard won't do this, so we'll get:
ο Δάκιτς ἐστὶ προδότης.
Understand? Now, write that a hundred times. If it's not done by sunrise, etc.
...I feel like my time there was pretty well spent.

But I take your point.

Sure, just saying that if you showed that to Yiayia (who follows UM basketball), she'd look at you funny.
November 10th, 2017 at 11:51 AM ^
Nothing like a thread on Mgoblog to remind me that my Greek is way rustier than it ought to be.

Seems like some parties went overboard MSU and Halloween weekends.
Better to self-impose bans to rectify the situations than have the school do it.

Unless you then hire Brian Ellerbe to run IFC.

The scary thing is, I took AP Latin in 1982-83 and still remember that line. And that Virgil stuck in the "et" to make it satisfy the iambic pentameter.
