Cheese on a burger is…

Cheese on a burger is allowed. Just not CREAM cheese... on a bagel.  

 

(Remember that NCAA nonsense?  True story.)

If this makes you feel…

If this makes you feel better, I'm still waiting on this from the Alumni Association:

"Members of the Alumni Association will receive a copy of the commemorative issue with their Winter 2023-24 edition of the Michigan Alum, but can purchase additional copies as a keepsake or gift for family or friends."

 

And I think the MgoBlog product will be much more elaborate than this. Stuff takes time, man!

Brady Hoke got 4 years. …

Yep. Brady Hoke got 4 years.  Same downward trend that we're seeing under Howard.

Howard doesn't deserve any more time. We already know.

My hope is that Juwan does…

My hope is that Juwan does the honorable thing and resigns.

He has a few legitimate explanations for his lack of success (M Admissions, heart surgery, etc.) and I would gladly defend those as outside of his control. 

Just fall on your sword, man.

"...how many people on here…

"...how many people on here actually darkened the door at Angell Hall..."

As a 1991 graduate of Michigan myself, allow me to congratulate you on successfully fitting the stereotype of the arrogant asshole Michigan grad.

I think Juwan slapped a…

I think Juwan slapped a Wisconsin assistant coach, not Gard.

suddenly looking at all the…

suddenly looking at all the guys leaving early to go play in the D-League in a whole new light.

“oh, I’m outta here…”

...hey I've got some bad…

Why not Hart as OC?

I assumed he was in deep thought.

Okay, can we all give Warde…

Okay, can we all give Warde SOME credit for keeping Jim after the 2020 season, when so many INCLUDING THIS VERY WEBSITE were calling for him to be fired?

Warde made the tough and courageous decision to keep Jim.

Jim promptly went back-to-back-to-back-to-Natty.

It is so easy to rip on Warde, but how many of you would have FIRED Jim in December 2020?

Just be honest and cut Warde a little bit of slack.

 

 

 

Bo --> Mo --> Lloyd = 39…

Bo --> Mo --> Lloyd = 39 years of continuous excellence.

If you have a powerhouse PROGRAM you promote from within.  We have that now.

Keep the culture intact. 

Learn from your mistakes, do NOT "RichRod" this!

...and a guy by the name of…

...and a guy by the name of LLOYD CARR!  That worked out pretty well for Michigan.

Totally agree, get in a…

Totally agree, get in a fucking bidding war for Jesse Minter.  Jim can take Jay (who is great) but dammit let's fight for Minter.

If Harbaugh walks, I make…

If Harbaugh walks, I make sure every single assistant coach knows that whatever the NFL is offering you, Michigan will pay them 50% more.

"Jesse, Harbaugh wants you to be his DC for $2M? Fine. We will pay you $3M to stay."

Fuck it. Let's fight to keep this staff together, with or without Jim.

Moore's tackle on Milroe is…

Moore's tackle on Milroe is a good choice.

Also in the Rose Bowl, Sabb's open field tackle in the flat, where he had to cover over 15 yards to get there is another underrated play.  Missed tackle would have been a TD.

 

 

I love this. It's pretty…

I love this. It's pretty sweet that my love for sports helps me be a good citizen of the community.

fuck off with this BS

fuck off with this BS

I've been an election worker…

I've been an election worker in Illinois (they call us "election judges" here in IL for some reason) since 2016.  

Democracy needs dedicated Americans to step up and answer the call to service.

Thanks for posting this, Seth.

My God, that was the very…

My God, that was the very best hype video I have ever seen. 

I hardly ever tear up, but damn that one got me. 

Going to color with Mikey's PBU was brilliant.

The whole fucking thing is brilliant.

 

Philip!!

Philip!!

Great UFR Seth!

sorry, I…

Great UFR Seth!

sorry, I must nitpick this sentence:

"...or the right tackle hadn't backed into his quarterback..."

Excuse me sir, the RT got DRIVEN OFF HIS ASS into his quarterback.

I am still amazed by that play by Stewart.  Dude is SKRONG.

Michigan never calls…

Michigan never calls themselves "Big Blue."  Fail.

Yes, let's have both.  Let's…

Yes, let's have both.  Let's eat the whole damn thing!

Why? Because I am biased. …

Why? Because I am biased.  My sons play volleyball (club and high school) and it is awesome.

Ohio State and Penn State both already have varsity men's volleyball.

So do USC and UCLA. 

Add Michigan and 1 or 2 other schools and it can be a Big Ten sport.

You bite your tongue. You…

You bite your tongue. You wanna replace Fenway and Wrigley too??

If they do this they MUST…

If they do this they MUST add men's volleyball too!!

My top 10, just off the top…

My top 10, just off the top of my head. (I may want to change some of these.)

Well, if this helps:

The…

Well, if this helps:

The last Natty was split because ESPN and the Coaches wanted to give Osborne a gold watch.

I’m STILL bitter about that.

So hey man, at least we don’t have to deal with any of that bullshit.

Fuck Scott Frost and his bitch-ass campaining.

The 2022 Ohio State Game.

The 2022 Ohio State Game.

I agree with Baker. …

I agree with Baker, he did the right thing by exposing it early. That gave Michigan the chance to prove it was all meaningless overblown bullshit.  

8-0 after sign-gate.

I shudder to think of the furor our program would have faced in the clown-court of public opinion if the **GASP** completely idiotic and unnecessary i-phone-recordings-for-pizza-money scheme was revealed after the season.

People would assume all the wins were because of Goober McStalions.

I think the 2023 stats are…

I think the 2023 stats are even better than what you posted, because I think you need to throw out the OSU and PSU bowl losses, when those 2 teams were a shell of their regular season rosters.

Yet another beautiful…

Yet another beautiful article from Brian, our beloved engineer-poet.

I’ve been a member on this site since its inception, when it was .blogspot, and it was still small enough that Brian would message me to stop picking stupid fights in the comments sections. 

MGoBlog is an important part of my life.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

It was incredible. He killed…

It was incredible. He killed the play, pretty much single-handedly.

Considering the stakes, that is one of the top 2 or 3 greatest defensive plays I’ve ever seen!

 

Thank you for starting this thread.

With all due and utmost…

With all due and utmost respect to Brian, he also called for Harbaugh to be fired after the horrible 2020 season.  Things looked bleak then, too.

So maybe let's just give Juwan another minute.

My 2021-2023 Mount Michigan…

My 2021-2023 Mount Michigan Rushmore:

 

Hassan Haskins (FIVE TDs in the The Game. Hurdling fools. C'mon now.)

Aidan Hutchinson (Heart and soul of the defensive turnaround)

JJ McCarthy (The Leader, he epitomizes the confidence and swagger of this 3-year stretch)

Mike Sainristil (Epitomizes the CLUTCH playmaking of this team)

Blake Corum (Yes, I am adding a fifth head because dammit we must have Blake on here)

 

2016: Peppers "injury" just…

2016: Peppers "injury" just before the game. That's the reason we lost.  wtf.

2018: Multiple opt-outs, including healthy team captain Karan Higdon. Really, man?  You just turned off every NFL GM and subsequently went undrafted.  Bad decision.

Regarding last year's bowl…

Regarding last year's bowl loss:

I adore JJ. He is an amazing QB.

But he almost single-handedly lost the TCU game for us that day.  It was his nightmare game, and I bet it still motivates him.

He won't let that happen again this year.  I have total trust in JJ.

Hey good news, if we hold…

Hey good news, if we hold them to 24 pts or less we only have to score 25 on them.

So... we should assume those…

So... we should assume those top defenses are Iowa, Ohio State, Penn State, and... Nebraska?

Fun Fact:

 

Lloyd Carr was…

Fun Fact:

 

Lloyd Carr was an Assistant Coach at Michigan for FIFTEEN YEARS before finally becoming the Head Caoch.

My fever dream is for Sherrone Moore to duplicate that.  This is his 6th year at Michigan. 

Maybe Jim is the HC for 6-7 more years and then Moore takes over?  A guy can dream, right?

the Muppets frolic to Temptation and the Hawaiian War Chant, which coincidentally is what the Michigan Marching Band plays every Saturday in Michigan Stadium.

Biggest WIN since 1969!

Biggest WIN since 1969!

Dear fellow M fans,

When Hackett landed Harbaugh in December of 2014…

THIS IS WHAT WE WERE SO HYPED ABOUT.  THIS IS WHAT WE HOPED WOULD HAPPEN!

IT’S HAPPENING!!!!!

How awesome/hilarious would…

How awesome/hilarious would it be for Michigan Stadium to play some smoooooth Kenny G whenever our man makes a play?!!

DO IT!

Please allow me to clarify:…

Please allow me to clarify: I agree that NCAA will not make a quick decision on the entire investigation, or even send Michigan a notice of allegations any time soon.  No way.

What I was trying to say was this:  If the NCAA quickly publishes a clarification that they deem 3rd-person video recording does constitute illegal in-person advance scouting then that would cover Pettiti's ass.  

Great diary and exactly…

Great diary and exactly correct analysis, but now here in my concern:

Watch the assholes at the NCAA (despite taking YEARS to adjudicate other more serious violations in the past) suddenly publish a lightning-quick decision that 3rd-person recording does indeed constitute impermissible advance scouting.  That would then shore up Pettiti's reckless rush to judgement ahead of Friday's hearing.

If the NCAA does this it will be clear that they have a vendetta against Michigan and Harbaugh, because they have ALWAYS taken forever to decide on these things in the past.

This analysis was so damn…

This analysis was so damn good.  I love this site.
