- Politics. It's an election year; don't even bother.
- Useless content from other sites. There are a lot of sites feeding a lot of Michigan content out there, and a lot of that is good stuff. But more than ever these days a lot of it is just stuff which tries to tickle your fancy or make you mad about something. 247, WTKA always get the benefit of the doubt. Sharp, Valenti or Chatsports will lose you your posting priveleges without exception.
- Bewbs and general misogyny/objectifying of women. We're sick of it, our female readership is even sicker of it, and any value you might place on the comfort of cutting loose with the guys is worth less to us than the damage it does with tens of thousands of our readers.
- "MODS: Please activate Death Star and obliterate this post."
- He's going to Eastern Michigan
- No Assclowns.jpg
- Most. Offseason. Thng. Ever.
- Where "Snowflakes" comes from
- BiSB is THE KNOWLEDGE
- That's not how the internet works, profit. NEG!
- Bad at spam
- We lost to who?
- This is funnier if you imagine it's Hoke and DB fighting.
- On politics in general and that one really political guy.

Finebaum admits B1G is the best conf this year
Per a proclamation made by Seth, I believe, earlier in the season, Paul Finebaum is on the "Pundit Non Grata" list around here.

How to teach our kids not to hate, despite all the hate they’re exposed to
Not sure exactly what was going on here, but it wasn't going all that well.

Dantonio to Texas?
If there's some active speculation out there, then that's fine and please post it, but random speculation rarely goes well by itself on the board. Also, it seems unlikely he would go anywhere now - for a lot of reasons.

NCAA looking to revoke ND's 2012 and 2013 wins
Already covered this one yesterday.
November 23rd, 2016 at 1:30 PM ^
Hot take: It's a down year in the B1G because all the QB's suck, AND because MSU sucks
Especially in a game week as important as this one, I think the limited interest in anything our conference compatriots in East Lansing may have to say is only highlighted.

Jabril scouting as JT
No evidence = no thread.

Is this type of interaction really necessary?

Day After Yesterday POSBANG
I get that some people detest these threads, but let's try to keep it civil all the same, eh?
November 26th, 2016 at 10:43 PM ^
No offense to the OPs, but a little cleanup here...
Fuck this and penis jokes POSBANG
How can the officiating be fixed?
Moment of Zen for a bad day
So we won a basketball game today
November 27th, 2016 at 12:04 PM ^
Holy crap, thinning it out a bit....no offense to the OPs. Most of this is because there are existing threads where these discussions could easily fit, including the Snowflake ones.
8 Team Playoff?
Admittedly gloomy day after question: are we Army to their Navy in this rivalry?
Why do we wear down so much?
Don't just blame the refs....even if they were bad
Will teams like WMU ever have a chance in CFP?
How does UW loss to Colorado not put UM in Playoff
Maybe the fumble wasn't entirely on Cole/Speight?
November 27th, 2016 at 12:25 PM ^
November 27th, 2016 at 12:25 PM ^
Did AC1997 either admit or deny that he was the person in the "Stop Blaming The Refs," YouTube video before the thread was removed?

#6 in Coaches Poll
We'll go with the open thread created by Leaders And Best for the sheer amount of information for now, but if you feel that a separate thread just for the coaches poll should stand, let me know.
November 27th, 2016 at 4:56 PM ^
I did a bad bad thing
At least you didn't pee all over the seat and not wipe it up. THAT is terrifying and unforgivable.
You are forgiven here, of course.
November 27th, 2016 at 5:31 PM ^
Cherry Pick Silver Linings
To some extent, that's been the theme of today, but then quite a few threads experess some legitimate gripes too. We don't really need another thread asking people to do this.

More housecleaning....
Proposed nomenclature: The Spot Atrocity
"Spotrocity" would get my vote, but I don't forsee this one going well right now.
Again, no offense to the OP. The initial reaction didn't bode well, that's all.

Sour Grapes: Why it's good OSU won
Bruh.
November 28th, 2016 at 9:43 AM ^
Also, is this the best place to let you know about trolls? Or is there someplace else? Also that Victor B is a spartan troll. He's not terrible, though.
November 28th, 2016 at 10:06 AM ^
This is the place to report them since this thread gets checked periodically throughout the day.
If you can, provide the link to the user profile. That way, they can be nuked en masse.

Did we at MGOBLOG prove that Barrett got the first down?
See the Parallax Error diary, also about 15 other threads in the last 36 hours.

Honest question about our new AD
I think we've had our fill of the "shaking fist at the Big Ten" threads
Ironic - B1G Fine Issued From City That Couldn't Impartially Referee Youth Hockey
This could easily have gone into the thread about the fine.
Why does Harbaugh play not to lose?
I don't foresee this one going well.
November 28th, 2016 at 7:44 PM ^
Mgoboycott?
Based on the responses so far, I doubt this one gets very far, and we've got a few threads in the last day or so which talk about constructive protest too.
November 28th, 2016 at 11:41 PM ^
such a sad little creature:
November 29th, 2016 at 11:57 AM ^
I'm beyond frustrated that my "It's the integrity of the game" board post was removed. I honestly cannot understand why. It was NOT a post about officiating. I couldn't have been any more clear about that. It received only upvotes, so clearly the board found value in it. I'd love for an explanation of that!
November 29th, 2016 at 11:58 AM ^
Given the timestamp on it, I was out in the middle of a parking lot walking off a meeting (because it was that sort of meeting) when it came down, but I did read it and I was curious what the reason might be myself. Hopefully, someone does provide an explanation.
November 29th, 2016 at 12:12 PM ^
Thanks, as always, LSA! I appreciate that. I spent a lot of time on it and really tried to be thoughtful with it and follow the rule that Brian put forth last night, while making what I thought was an important point about what underlying frustration that many are feeling (i.e. differenting between the cause and the symptom). If there's something wrong with it, I get it, but I would like to know what it is, just so that I don't repeat it.
Sorry about your meeting! Hope your day gets better!
November 29th, 2016 at 4:55 PM ^
but I think a lot of the problem could be alleviated if there was a functioning sidebar and /mgobard page. Neither of which you are able to move beyond the first page. People simply cannot find a thread to post his or her unique insight, which then yields more new topics.
November 29th, 2016 at 10:31 PM ^
"turnovers cost us the game"
The tone of the remarks so far do not bode well. No offense to the OP, but we're trying to be diligent about things this week.
November 30th, 2016 at 8:37 AM ^
This is probably a stupid idea, but …
My avatar is confused about this one frankly....
November 30th, 2016 at 8:41 AM ^
It's Great to be a Michigan Wolverine!
This is the ChadTough stuff from yesterday. Donate to a great cause and speak your mind about what passes for "best practice" in the Big Ten simultaneously!

Why Barry Alvarez Might Be Our Savior
Not sure how much help we get from Barry, and neither was the board. Indeed, perhaps none at all, considering he must leave the room when Wisconsin is brought up.
November 30th, 2016 at 10:47 AM ^
Can we get a bump for the #ChadTough donation post on the board? The deadline for donations has extended (to Saturday evening), and regardless of the message/intent. it's a great cause and has raised good money. I thought about reposting, but thought it'd be better to ask the mods. Thanks.

Matching Harbaugh's Fine Update
ST3's post was fine, but I thought it might be easier just to bump the original thread, and I was reminded about doing so just now, so apologies to ST3.
Please to post the updated totals in the thread though.
Also, DONATE.
November 30th, 2016 at 5:00 PM ^
I said it before and I'll say it again: All can still be right with the world
November 30th, 2016 at 11:03 PM ^
Not only been diligently trolling the board, also co-opted another user, or former user name.
December 1st, 2016 at 7:20 PM ^
This thread is already starting to turn into a racial debate.

Franklin vs Harbaugh...
There are certain thread concepts which - and you know I hate to say this - are simply stupid because no one in their right mind shares the opinion even though the OP seems to believe they do.
This was one of them.

Hi, guys. It's me, 2014.
