Report on my MGoBlindDate
I'll keep this brief since it's not interesting enough for a diary and I'd prefer it to disappear in a day. On Monday I posted if anyone wanted a free Bball ticket and dinner beforehand in the Jack Roth Club for the Event Team appreciation dinner. I got two takers and said yes to the one who replied to my post first before I checked my email. At this point trepidation set in because who was this random poster that I would spend an hour over dinner with who had less than 10 pts since joining the site in 2014. I've been to over a dozen MGoGettogethers and I might want to share a beer with maybe half of the attendees (Brian might not make the cut).
Mr. MGoGMo and I turned out to have a lot in common. He and his wife both went to UofM and met there in the late '80's, my wife and I did the same in the early '80's. His son is a current student here and his daughter will be applying here soon. My son and daughter are both graduates of Michigan. We walk into the suites and the first athletic staffer we see he knows personally (this was probably the only staffer there that I didn't know). He used to do TV work at the football games for a Flint station and this last season helped out the Amazon crew on their documentary. I tried to regale him with my stories of working the football camps last summer and meeting half the coaches and maybe a quarter of the team. It was a better dinner than my senior prom to be honest. I had to leave early to usher the NU game but he made it a point to track me down at halftime at sec. 104 and to thank me again.
Let the snark begin...no we didn't get a room, no bromance...It's not MSU related nor has anything to do with recruiting. Go Blue!

This is awesome. Maybe Mgoblog can get a dating page?
January 31st, 2018 at 2:01 PM ^
My banner ad is asking me if I would like an Oriental girlfriend.
January 31st, 2018 at 2:09 PM ^
It's awesome that the pop-up ad issue was fixed. I never gave thanks to the owners of the website (or whoever else) fixed the pop-up virus ad issue that was plaguing the website in November/December. I'm glad the issue was fixed and also thank anyone who spoke out about the pop-up ads.

Is K Mart store closing in Richmond MI
January 31st, 2018 at 2:29 PM ^
Mine has fishing tackle and pickup trucks. Not judging, you do you.
January 31st, 2018 at 3:56 PM ^
Me too. AND Asian chicks.
January 31st, 2018 at 5:21 PM ^
Russian chicks to date.
January 31st, 2018 at 5:27 PM ^
....I blame Hotel Putingrad for that piece of malware and Olga turned about to be a lot older than she said.
January 31st, 2018 at 5:56 PM ^
until these adds on this site.
January 31st, 2018 at 10:31 PM ^
they change at 35
February 1st, 2018 at 6:38 PM ^
I get the Russian ones too, and after a long search for our next vacation i now get ads for the place i'm going.
January 31st, 2018 at 2:37 PM ^
My 'buddy' says it totally works out!
jdon
January 31st, 2018 at 2:39 PM ^
still says oriental.
January 31st, 2018 at 3:07 PM ^
Oriental Andrew says, "hi"
January 31st, 2018 at 3:48 PM ^
I do, and my half Korean wife does not approve
January 31st, 2018 at 4:04 PM ^
My dad and his family did too. I thought his side of the family just didn't know any better until they didn't show up to the wedding or reception.
Sad. Haven't talked with any of them since and they haven't contacted my family either. There are some pathetic racists out there.
January 31st, 2018 at 4:13 PM ^
You got rid of 25% of your relatives just by marrying someone of a different ethnicity? So jealous.
January 31st, 2018 at 5:19 PM ^
Yeah, truly, the dad part sucks, but I'm glad I got a chance to see the others' true colors. They didn't even send gifts. Assholes.
They were the redneck side though. The hillbilly side (my mom's side) all came.
Doesn't matter when the wife and the kids we have had are the best thing that's ever happened to me.
*clicks on Asian dating ad*
January 31st, 2018 at 9:05 PM ^
I'm truly not versed in the difference beween "redneck" and "hillbilly," in fact I wasn't really aware that there's a difference. Care to enlighten? I'm sincerely curious. I would love to know the difference from someone who does know.
January 31st, 2018 at 10:36 PM ^
but rednecks are proud of it
January 31st, 2018 at 4:20 PM ^
That sucks, man. When we started dating back in 1999, she corrected me that food is oriental and people are asian. Heck, I didn't know. But I have enjoyed the jokes I get to use on her. In case anyone objects, it comes with the marriage and kids, and those bastards are white as hell.
January 31st, 2018 at 5:15 PM ^
Yeah, I was a little surprised how dominant the hillbilly genes were in my kids.
January 31st, 2018 at 4:27 PM ^
Hey Everyone! I found CREX!!!
January 31st, 2018 at 3:08 PM ^
mine is...er, you don't want to know
January 31st, 2018 at 1:18 PM ^

January 31st, 2018 at 1:19 PM ^
Cool story bro
January 31st, 2018 at 1:19 PM ^
thanks for the note - glad it was successful!
January 31st, 2018 at 1:19 PM ^
So this camping trip just might work out!
January 31st, 2018 at 3:06 PM ^
and one less sleeping bag needed
January 31st, 2018 at 5:50 PM ^
A rare but true LOL!
February 1st, 2018 at 12:04 PM ^
to bring a sleeping bag, I responded, I didn't think we were bringing our wives.
January 31st, 2018 at 2:05 PM ^
Lmfao! I'm losing my shit over this
January 31st, 2018 at 3:24 PM ^
I'm sending it to all my buddies. Funny shit.
January 31st, 2018 at 1:25 PM ^
Deny it all you like, but this is a pure bromance - the type that ends up swapping pictures of your respective man-caves.
(I mean literal man-caves. Not "man-cave" like a euphamism or something.)
January 31st, 2018 at 1:26 PM ^
with all the depressing news in the feed these days, its nice to hear stories like this!
January 31st, 2018 at 1:49 PM ^
Maybe you guys can wear these shirts to your next brinner or broasketball game. Guessing they come in Maize and Blue too.
Go Blue!
January 31st, 2018 at 11:01 PM ^
Good story, brotato chip!!
January 31st, 2018 at 1:29 PM ^
How's his pad level?
January 31st, 2018 at 1:35 PM ^
it wasn't about recruiting, but it's still a fair question
January 31st, 2018 at 1:35 PM ^
Someone please embed this...
January 31st, 2018 at 1:48 PM ^
Bullshit! You look like you could suck a golf-ball through a garden hose!
February 1st, 2018 at 12:07 PM ^
like old people fuck!
January 31st, 2018 at 1:37 PM ^
real name), he is a super nice guy. he ever posts about meeting him at some michigan event, you'd be well advised to get there.
having met him a couple of times, i don't have the heart to ask if i'd make the cut for the beer drinking. rejection can be difficult.....
