Ace is gone. Brian is out. I will try to get to them if I can get HTTV out soon.
Seth, if you are pulling triple duty and still getting HTTV out I both greatly pity and deeply appreciate you! Godspeed!
Did Brian have another baby?
Out? Like out to lunch?
Seth needs a raise!
Got one.
Whatever it was it wasn’t enough.
Seconded.
All in favor, say "Aye"!
Curious whether Brian is "out of office" (he's been on the weekly Roundtable) or "out" on covering football this year. Curious whether this site loses any steam if football coverage is bare bones this year.

We're all suckers for anything UM football we can get our hands on. We'll check back every day like a little kid on Christmas, even if we're disappointed we'll keep coming back hoping for more content (and when more wins come with it).
When you say Brian is out Seth, what exactly do you mean? Could Brendan jump in and give a hand?
Probably way outside the bandwidth that you have at the moment but a suggestion on a potential way to generate more user content.
On a monthly basis, pick the 5 best diaries and have the blog vote on the best - give some nominal prize like a limited addition mgo - author t-shirt.
As I said in the Hail to The Victors comments - thanks so much for all you are doing to hold the blog together.
This isn't 2010 when we had Misopogan, Mathlete, and MGoShoe pumping out high quality content. We're lucky to get one Front Page worthy post a quarter.
And we still do have Misopogon.
lol... he doesn't know.
That is why I am suggesting to incentivize it a bit
Mathlete is still around as well though he does not post much. I think Misopogan, Mathlete and Brian are just bummed out about the football program. Nobody thought we would be in this position 7 years into the Harbaugh reign. I think a lot of people are just unmotivated to creatively write about Michigan football. Well, I hope things turnaround for Harbaugh and football team. At least we have an elite basketball team.
Seth is Misopogon.
Its because the football program has gone to shit..isnt it?
Neck sharpies > freshman profiles.
anyone else share that sentiment?
Well yes, but they're totally different and also come at different times of the year.
If Brian is out, does that mean we don't have to hear his "BPONE" shit anymore ?
Why in the fuck would you come to a website started by Brian Cook, if you don't like what Brian Cook writes?
Its his site, if he wants to write about the black pit of negative expectations then he can. If he wants to write about cows fucking a goose he also can do that.
If you don't like it start a blog and do it better.
It's true that Brain Cook can BPONE until the cows come home and he chooses to do that, there will be one less website covering Michigan sports and some unemployed people.
"cows come home" was a bad idiom to use after Darker Blue's 2nd example...
Brian is "out" doing what? Lumberjacking?
The sad thing is that I haven't been missing the football content. Such is the state of the program and my apathy thereof...
Ok.
I get it, the football program has been disappointing of late. But these kind of repetitive comments every time someone discusses football gets old. You have apathy, the owner of the site has apathy. Let the people who want content discuss it without telling us how much you don’t care.
I agree with your post and I’d also say the repetitive posts about can Howard coach football every time he lands a recruit are equally annoying. It’s as if there is no ability for some fans to keep the sports separate from one another.
Who's a better football coach?
Juwan Howard
OR
Howard Schnellenberger
I'm going with the guy who is still alive...even if he has no direct football experience.
You're in the minority. Don't forget what will always pay the bills around here.
Cocaine.
A board topic on cocaine would get way more comments than an off-season basketball thread.
Of course it would. Most of the posts would be arguing whether Harbaugh is or is not on cocaine.
Howard is doing his job successfully, no debate is required.
He was at Stanford and SF. Needs to get back on it.

If you wanna hang out
You've gotta take her out
Cocaine
If you wanna get down
Down on the ground
Cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie
Cocaine
If you got bad news
You wanna kick them blues
Cocaine
When your day is done
And you wanna run
Cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie
Cocaine
If your thing is gone
And you wanna ride on
Cocaine
Don't forget this fact
You can't get it back
Cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie
Cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie

Time to put her in the transfer portal.
Oh, thought you were referring to your wife.
NEVERMIND.
Shameless plug, but I created a video covering each 2021 freshman.
Here's the playlist link, if interested.
These are great videos! Very enjoyable content.
Stephen, is that you?
It’s a fan named Ozzyntoski
Oh no, I've been caught!!! Time to scurry back to the YouTubes.
And I always thought you had bitten the head off a bat.
Great Job. Given your in-depth analysis on the Freshman class, you could write the front page Freshmen class article.
