Welcome Paul, Tim and Formerly Anonymous

Submitted by gater on
This may have been mentioned before, but I just saw that Paul and Tim are shutting down Varsity Blue and helping out around here. Kind of bitter sweet as i love to read both blogs, but I guess twice the info at one link. Welcome Guys!! http://www.umvarsityblue.com/2009/07/end-of-the-road/

I'm guessing lacrosse recruiting and whatnot will be posted by Varisty Blue authors on Mgoblog now? Brian is now the ultimate Walmart Wolverine, as in, he is putting the little guys out of business. Join him or die.

My INSIDERZ! say this isn't a done deal yet. There's a guy who periodically shaves Tempe who has been coming on strong for them lately. And never count out those fuckin' geauxfurs. UPDATZ! I was just tweeting with my super-secret INSIDERZ! (trademark pending) and they said that only two of Tim, Paul and Formerly will be getting an offer. Said the offers were conditional about how they camped. I can’t say who it is, but the un-offered recruit didn’t have a very good html skills and a disappointing words/minute typing time. Un-offered recruit is lifelong MGo fan, but 50/50 chance he will definitely accept offer to join TEAM at GMBW. Pad level impressive. Press conference on Monday. No sugarcoat.

One of the two offered recruits is wavering. Said negative recruiting from WLA is cooling him on MGo. Facebook status: “MGo does not respect proletariat values. Going to Fuck. Shit. Up. at WLA.”

Except that there's one less Michigan link to click on and refresh incessantly to absorb my time. IMO, there's a lot of equity in the VB site / name, and I would be a proponent of keeping "Varsity Blue" as a sub-segment of mgoblog somehow (and keeping the old VB link linked to that page?). Maybe I'm dreaming; tagging posts as VB for a while could work?

Welcome guys! I can't say that I always hit up Varsity Blue (mostly because there are only so many hours in the day), but when I did I was always impressed. I look forward to seeing good stuff on here from you guys.

Did the move to MgoBlog have any effect on the Great Heisman Campaign you guys were running? It seemed like you guys wrapped it up kinda quickly at the end. I thought it was a really fun idea and really enjoyed the whole thing. I say this because the semifinals you had to choose 1 out of 4 people to vote for and the voting was only open for 1 day. Not complaining, just curious. More importantly, welcome to MgoBlog... I really look forward to the collaboration.

Welcome aboard gentlemen. Enjoyed Varsity Blue, and will no doubt enjoy the content migrating to this page. I wonder if this means we may see post previews with "Click here to read more" links due to the possible flood of posts, given a certain sports day, clogging up the main page?

What's better than an infinite amount of information about Michigan sports? 3x the infinite amout of information. If I understood how the universe is both infinite and expanding at the same time, I would understand how much more bad ass this website just got.
