Semi-OT: I miss Draftageddon (Is that Happening This Year?)
Draftageddon used to be one of my favorite features on MGoBlog and it always worked as a pseudo-countdown to the football season. I know it's typically done in August each year, but I know we didn't do it last year given Covid and the weird start.
I don't know for sure, but I'm sort of assuming there won't be a draftageddon this year with the lack of excitement for the season, Seth's super busy schedule, and Ace leaving.
Brian/Seth, it would be awesome if you do draftageddon this year. I would be more than willing to help out and chip in if you need the extra help. I'm sure several other people on this wonderful site would also be willing to help.
As always, Go Blue!

What?
August 6th, 2021 at 10:38 AM ^
Please, God, no
August 6th, 2021 at 10:39 AM ^
Seth:
*Whispers* I'll take a 28 Tickets as well
August 6th, 2021 at 10:43 AM ^
'28 Tickets' every week for sure. That was some of Brian's best content.
August 6th, 2021 at 10:39 AM ^
Yes, I too miss seeing the annual list of the top players on OSU's football team, with a sprinkling of M players here and there. /s
I always found that piece depressing for that reason, it become “always miss” content.
Eyeroll every time draftgeddon was on the front page. Writing for an audience of four or five.

You need to stop sniffin glue.
August 6th, 2021 at 10:43 AM ^
Hey - Mind your business
August 6th, 2021 at 10:46 AM ^
I would draft the entire OSU roster for my team. Is that allowed?
August 6th, 2021 at 10:58 AM ^
We have found a witch: may we burn her?
August 6th, 2021 at 11:30 AM ^
She likes Draftageddon. I mean, she turned me into a newt.
She turned you into a newt?
August 6th, 2021 at 11:14 AM ^
So you’re the one, eh?
August 6th, 2021 at 11:21 AM ^
So we get to watch half of OSU's team get drafted first? Meh.
As long as we get Opponent Watch and Punt/Counterpunt then I'm happy. I need Raj back in my life.

Bro Seth has been running this site by himself and put out the HTTV single-handedly.
August 6th, 2021 at 11:39 AM ^
I’ve noticed the same. Did i miss something other than Ace stepping away? Feels like we’re missing a ton of content. I mean absolutely 0 disrespect … just wanting to see if I’ve missed others leaving.
August 6th, 2021 at 11:41 AM ^
Brian is dealing with some personal issues - unclear what. This is what Seth said:
I think Brian's personal status is Brian's business to share. Long-term no change--this isn't about the blog or the community or Michigan football (mostly--I mean no more than the rest of us). Short-term he's going to take a break and I'll be running things.
August 6th, 2021 at 12:56 PM ^
Thanks, I've noticed he wasn't here and assumed I missed something. Hopefully everything is alright with him and his family.
Huge thank you for clearing that up! I always start to check in more around the start of FB so i totally missed that.
Hope everything works out for Brian and thanks Seth for keeping things chugging along!
Brian has been MIA on this site for a long time, preferring Twitter. Dude shut it down after The Ohio beat down last year.
August 6th, 2021 at 11:41 AM ^
Dafuq you do.
August 6th, 2021 at 11:44 AM ^
Here for the negbang
August 6th, 2021 at 11:52 AM ^
Probably not. We may put out an all-B10 thing but don't have the staff bandwidth to get more important things done and that.
August 6th, 2021 at 12:16 PM ^
You mean Draftageddon, the most widely-read and beloved series of posts, is not the most important thing this year? /sarcasm
August 6th, 2021 at 12:01 PM ^
Without Draftageddon I just don't know where I will be able to find other content to ignore!
August 6th, 2021 at 12:15 PM ^
Everyone SHUT UP!
If you say it 3 times, you'll speak it into existance...
August 6th, 2021 at 12:17 PM ^
Take that back.
August 6th, 2021 at 12:38 PM ^
I liked it a bunch as well
Same. I never got the hate for it, especially free content you don't have to read. Sure, there's a lot of OSU players in it, but if that's your worry what are you even doing watching college football this year? But given Seth probably won't even get through all the freshmen profiles and who knows if we're even getting the big preseason content dump, I'd hate to see it this year.
I didn’t mind the player talk. For me the absolute worst part of this site is the always awkward, rarely funny, banter between Ace, Brian, and anyone else. I read this site daily, yet still felt I was missing 100 inside jokes. Almost every paragraph I was asking, “do these guys think this is funny? Or they think they’re cool?” Made me cringe often. I much prefer straight forward analysis and education on this site, without Brian and Ace trying to act cooler than the other/everyone else.
Umm this is one those situations where if you don’t mention it, it may not happen. Now that is all wrecked!
Haha, that's a good one!
Boo this man.
I am not feeling it.
I never liked it.
Ya know what, I was going to spend the rest of the afternoon watching Junior Colson's tape but now I think I'll start Draftageddon instead.
Seth, the rabid!
The new version with the positional analysis (don't remember what they called it) was way better.
Add my vote to the group that thinks the time and effort would be better spent elsewhere.
