Players Posting??
Sometimes weird thoughts pop in my head. Has anybody ever heard of a player posting on MGOBLOG? With all this Tate stuff and Roh's dad the last couple of days I thought wouldn't it be funny if Tate came on here and said "hey douchebag I'm Tate Forcier and I'm not transferring" or I how great would it to be for Mike Williams to come on and say "Hey Brian this is Mike Williams I didn't have responsibility on the tight end that was Kovacks give him the -3. They would probably get negged because no one would believe them. I'm sure they are coached on not letting info out, but are they specifically forbidden from posting in football forums by RR?

that never happens.
WORLDS COLLIDE!!!!

I'm Obi Ezeh.
November 12th, 2009 at 2:27 PM ^
Trust me when I say this, it is fun to tackle people at the LOC or even in the backfield. It is OK to move forward and attack once in a while. Thank you.

I'm Spartacus!
November 12th, 2009 at 2:46 PM ^
No, actually, I am Sparticus.
November 12th, 2009 at 2:49 PM ^
No, I'm Spartacus!
Great story and film, BTW.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:05 PM ^
Just to be clear, I'm Sparticus Mitchell. You guys should really think about getting a last name.
November 12th, 2009 at 2:28 PM ^
You're saying you're NOT on the team?!? This site is for players only.
November 12th, 2009 at 2:29 PM ^
Worlds Collide is classic +1 for you sir, I have to say I was expecting the "I'm insert player here" I forgot to add that as a disclaimer on my original note -1 for you...too obvious.

"if you don't click this link, we'll kill this dog"
November 12th, 2009 at 2:29 PM ^
Just kidding. This is really Boubacar Cissoko, and the only douchebag here is me.
November 12th, 2009 at 2:43 PM ^
a tad misguided, perhaps inmature, and I imagine a little regretful. But I don't think he's a douchebag. I would bet he doesn't spray tan or pop his collars, or have a completely unrealistic image of himself that would shatter his reality if he ever looked in the magical mirror and saw his true self.
When anyone does something that disrupts any part of our internal prism we automatically label them a douchebag, when in reality we should save it for the true douchebags.
Like Justin Boren.

I don't think he's a douchebag. I was messing around. I used that word since it was used in "Hey douchebag, this is Tate Forcier and I'm not transferring." Thought we could all joke on here.
November 12th, 2009 at 8:05 PM ^
+1 to your post, but I had to laugh about your comment:
"or have a completely unrealistic image of himself that would shatter his reality if he ever looked in the magical mirror and saw his true self."
We are talking about a cornerback who would get up and waive his arms like Deon Sanders on the 1 pass in ten that happened to fall incomplete through no action of his own.
Not saying that's enough to be called a douchebag, but you could argue he did have somewhat of an unrealistic image of himself while playing corner this year.
November 12th, 2009 at 4:27 PM ^
Just kidding, I'm not! Just kidding, I am, but people call me boobie! Just kidding, they call me Sissy! Just kidding, they'd never call me that! Just kidding, they would, but not to my face! Just kidding, they do, but I don't have a face! Just kidding, my face is there, but it's invisible! Just kidding, my whole body is invisible! Just kidding, it's not invisible, it's imaginary! Just kidding, I'm not imaginary, I'm Tacopants! Just kidding... just kidding... just kidding... ...
EDIT: Nobody's watched SNL recently eh? I mean, it's gone way downhill, but there's still some funny stuff in there.
November 12th, 2009 at 4:38 PM ^
there are still some funny sketches, but Kristen Wiig's recurring characters are not.
November 12th, 2009 at 7:34 PM ^
Well I still like SNL. "I threw it on the GROUND!"
November 12th, 2009 at 2:31 PM ^
with player names. I assumed they were just fans of said player, but maybe not. I just saw a Mooseman reply. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a couple players that post stuff under an alias as well.
November 12th, 2009 at 2:36 PM ^
Yea and I wish you douchebags would quit ragging on my teamates.
The Space Emperor of Space has spoken.
November 12th, 2009 at 2:38 PM ^
Used to post on either the scout or rivals board... can't really remember which. Once he got to campus as a frosh, i believe he had to can it, though.
November 12th, 2009 at 2:39 PM ^
Rich Rodriguez here, and all you fuckers are suspended.
November 12th, 2009 at 2:42 PM ^
I saw someone post on here with the username "Troy Nienberg". I asked if it was actually Troy, but never got a response.
November 12th, 2009 at 2:45 PM ^
Last year I had a class with a player who has contributed on defense this year. During the d-coordinator search he would check mgoblog/rivals/scout before class, presumably to find out who his new coordinator would be.
November 12th, 2009 at 4:01 PM ^
If it's an inside linebacker, "contributed" is probably the wrong word.
Ba-dum-chhhh.
November 12th, 2009 at 2:47 PM ^
they have better things to do.
Seriously.
November 12th, 2009 at 2:50 PM ^
Like updating facebook.
November 12th, 2009 at 2:56 PM ^
...but you don't think 18-20 yr football players waste time doing stupid shit?? Fabrezee comes to mind. I wouldn't be surprised you got a bunch of guys hanging out playing Madden and one of the guys goes on MGoblog and says "hey RVB" RVB looks up from his controller "yeah" "B. Cook gave you a -4 for getting blasted last week". Laughter insues as they dog him out. RVB says hey log on and say your an insider and that Tate isn't starting this week, that'll freak out all those nerds on the forum. Far fetched??
November 12th, 2009 at 3:58 PM ^
Isn't that the illusion that motivates every troll? The idea that they can disrupt team unity, tarnish images, and negatively impact recuiting by going on message boards, impersonating fans, and create chaos with rumors, arguments, and tripe?
November 12th, 2009 at 6:45 PM ^
Never said that I didn't think they would. I said I hoped they spent time doing more important things.
November 12th, 2009 at 2:53 PM ^
people who have been on the team avoid the sight beacuse, as they put it, its "alot of fans who dont know whats going on attacking players who do."
November 12th, 2009 at 2:58 PM ^
If I knew that players name, I'd be sure to make a negative comment or two, just to live up to expectations. Not really--in fact that player was probably a national merit scholar. How true that is. I don't have any idea what is going on behind the scenes. But I have to say the public part has been a bit rough as of late...hopefully things will improve starting with Wisconsin Saturday.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:01 PM ^
Avoid the sight of this site, I think you mean.
November 12th, 2009 at 7:41 PM ^
sight. The players would rather be blind than read what we have to say.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:09 PM ^
FWIW my friends/roommates who were on the team give me a hard time about reading this site. i just say whateva i do what i want.
November 12th, 2009 at 5:29 PM ^
Would these friends of yours prefer that you read ESPN, FOX Sports, the FreeP? I'm not giving you a hard time at all, I'm just confused as to why they have a problem with this site.
There are asshats around here, of course, but I think that if I were a player I'd prefer any serious attempt at understanding the game, such as a UFR, to what passes for commentary anywhere else. No?
November 12th, 2009 at 5:40 PM ^
I get the impression that they think of it as a locker room for the fans. Like what has already been posted, it's kinda the whole 'these fans commenting on us but not really knowing what goes on inside the program' type of thing.
none of them have a problem with mgoblog. it's the same as reading press clippings or watching gameday if you're a player. There don't have much incentive to read their own press, good or bad.
On a side note, it is weird to watch game with them though.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:50 PM ^
I'm Mark Dantonio and with all the information you fools blithely pass around here, I will exert dominance over Michigan forever! Woooohahahahaha!
November 12th, 2009 at 4:16 PM ^
THE KNOWLEDGE is really the Coner.
November 12th, 2009 at 5:42 PM ^
I desperately wish this to be true.
November 12th, 2009 at 4:21 PM ^
Hey Chuck Weis here. I have a schematic advantage.
November 13th, 2009 at 11:44 AM ^
I hope you have 4 racks of ribs and 9 buckets of chicken to go with that schematic advantage. You can't win if you eat your own team.
November 12th, 2009 at 4:27 PM ^
Donovan Warren here, just wanted to say I'm not going to the NFL so we can win a national championship!
November 12th, 2009 at 4:46 PM ^
I'm sure some read it, I'm not sure they post. I'm sure former players post though, and that will become more common as players who are more aware of this blog move on from the team.
November 12th, 2009 at 4:55 PM ^
i'd imagine that the coaching staff advises players NOT to post on fan forums, lol. what a disaster that would be.
November 12th, 2009 at 5:25 PM ^
Could someone please pass the donuts and the Ready-Whip?
November 12th, 2009 at 5:28 PM ^
Hey ... It's Lloyd how do you like me now !
November 12th, 2009 at 6:07 PM ^
Even though they probably don't post here, if we could pretend they do once in awhile, maybe we'd be a much easier e-fan base to deal with (looking at the mass hysteria when we aren't winning).
November 12th, 2009 at 6:21 PM ^
just wanted to let all you guys know that yes, being with Giselle is just as great as you might imagine.
Oh, and that Drew Henson can suck it.
