Cool story bro
December 7th, 2010 at 2:45 AM ^
mmmmmm..... that block of text looks like cookies'n'creme ice cream if you scroll really fast.
Yum.
December 7th, 2010 at 7:40 AM ^
I can totally see it. Sorta like magic eye
December 7th, 2010 at 2:46 AM ^
Love them, learn them, use them

"People who annoy you"
December 7th, 2010 at 7:55 AM ^
naggers?
December 7th, 2010 at 9:55 AM ^
Yes, that too.
(Your reply makes it impossible for me to fix the typo - damn you!)
(Also, I accidentally +1ed myself on this post. Hahahaha. Good times.)
December 7th, 2010 at 2:49 AM ^
That's probably the worst written article I've ever read
December 7th, 2010 at 2:55 AM ^
You actually read it all?
December 7th, 2010 at 5:20 AM ^
I would be lying if I said yes
December 7th, 2010 at 6:51 AM ^

But this post didn't even use the CC title. He just posted some crap.
Also, in my mind, when I suggested the CC title, it was not intended to be a blanket "post whatever the hell stream of consciousness crap comes into your head" designation (which is what this post would have needed).
Rather, the CC designation is intended to be for those that want to discuss the coaching topic. A post like this would still be deserving a being negged into Bolivia, not because of the topic, but because of (1) the lack of paragraphs, (2) the lack of readability, and (3) the general insanity / annoyingness of it. Just by opinion.
December 7th, 2010 at 10:33 AM ^
That is a good point about the failure to use the "CC" designation. I realized it after my above post. And good point about your thinking in creating that designation. I appreciated your suggestion and have been impressed that it has been adopted (even when not used properly).
FWIW, I negged the hell out of the OT for both substance and appearance. Its just another "unique" way of stating the same things that have been posted over and over and over and over again. Actually, the physical appearance of the thread was more interesting than the substance.

This thread was radioactive before I even flew over it with the Enola Gay. I will will be on dutiful watch for non-CC RABBLE RABBLE JH/RR threads. As for the legitimacy of CC threads, if they are a flame piece on someone, then that voids the CC agreement and their own shadow will be burnt into the ground.

I didn't read this. Not because I am a dick, but because you need to make your posts readable. Just a heads up before you get roasted by crappy comments and neg bangs. I see you took the time to write a lot of something on here so I take it you put some thought into it as well, but please take take a different approach next go round. Just some advice because you are obviously new.
December 7th, 2010 at 8:48 AM ^
Switch to the rich editor before you post it. Otherwise the spaces you put in with the enter key won't show up. I think that might be the problem here.

Too garrulous for Ginsberg. Kerouac?
December 7th, 2010 at 3:12 AM ^
Kerouac did write On The Road as block prose, so that comparison is better suited, but I really wanted to post that picture.
December 7th, 2010 at 3:03 AM ^
I'm never going to read something that looks like that.

An alternate reality where the NCAA took from us both scholarships and line breaks.
December 7th, 2010 at 3:08 AM ^
returned UM back to bowl eligibility in just his third year at the helm after being hit by a devestating roster depletion due to NCAA sanctions.
This did not happen. The end.
December 7th, 2010 at 6:22 AM ^
that line and stopped reading the post...
December 7th, 2010 at 10:05 AM ^
No sense punishing me eyes and brain for the OP's lack of formatting after reading that.
December 7th, 2010 at 10:51 AM ^
I read that and was having a hard time deciding if the OP was attempting humor/sarcasm or just totally off-base with his facts. Either way, not exactly the most coherent statement.
You seem to be working to express something on your mind, so keep working at it. Maybe creating an outline before you post something of this length. It kind of jumps all over, between fact and fiction, seriousness and attempted humor, which is fine. The reader just has at least have an idea of what is happening, if you aren't into that whole brevity thing (Thanks, Dude).
December 7th, 2010 at 11:20 AM ^
Your meter needs new batteries.
December 7th, 2010 at 3:20 AM ^
tl;dr
December 7th, 2010 at 3:35 AM ^
Let me hit that.
December 7th, 2010 at 3:48 AM ^
Oh wait.
Was this an attempt at making a ficticious story by putting together a collage of of various posts from different UM football related topics from over the past 3 years?
December 7th, 2010 at 3:55 AM ^
you mean the whole thing?
December 7th, 2010 at 4:14 AM ^
Dude. Bravo. This is impressive.
December 7th, 2010 at 4:30 AM ^
Of course this was tongue-in-cheek, but I simply don't understand why the paragraphs didn't take. I've never had that problem on this site before, so if someone could point out what I might have done wrong to cause it to not acknowledge the double spacing, generally all that is needed to begin a new para, would be greatly appreciated. Again I apologize and don't blame anyone for not bothering to read. Probably would have bypassed it myself if I'd seen the format beforehand.
December 7th, 2010 at 5:56 AM ^
I do not know why the paragraphs did not take, but as an artistic statement, the monograph was striking. Beautiful? No. It did say something, however, even if it was ugly, as it spoke to our collective darking souls. As Mark Rothko once said:
Mute icons are the only kind of beauty we find acceptable today.
December 7th, 2010 at 7:29 AM ^
Nice.
I believe he was also quoted as saying " orange......COBALT.....amber."
December 7th, 2010 at 7:42 AM ^
I've never had that problem on this site before, so if someone could point out what I might have done wrong to cause it
Try this:
December 7th, 2010 at 11:48 AM ^
One para not intentional.
December 7th, 2010 at 4:38 AM ^
Great story in the alternate history of michigan football. I think you watched back to the future II before you wrote this.
December 7th, 2010 at 10:59 AM ^
December 7th, 2010 at 12:13 PM ^
the coolness that was rolling your pants endured into the future. In this alternate future, Color Me Badd changed the world for the better a la Wyld Stallyns.

Can a brotha get an "Amen!"
December 7th, 2010 at 9:58 AM ^
No, he cannot. Definitely not in connection with this thread.
December 7th, 2010 at 6:40 AM ^
i actually read the whole thing, and thought it was a well thought out, well written article... sure there were kinks as there are in all articles, but the OP brings up some really good points worth thinking about.
December 7th, 2010 at 9:39 AM ^
You're kidding, right? Please say you're kidding......please.
December 7th, 2010 at 6:58 AM ^
my eyes are sore.
December 7th, 2010 at 7:00 AM ^
I have no idea what is happeing in this thread right now. This is not a good way to start my morning. I'm gonna go take a dump - that should improve things.
