These teams look the same and it's upsetting for me and my 20 pixel stream.

Why was there no commercial interruption after the punt? Is it even possible to play a game of football in such a way?

Terrific catch by Jensen.

I love defensively-oriented games as they give the announcers more opportunities to showcase their idiocy.

except there isn't any jhackney and OMG Shirtless is either absent or lurking, and M-Wolverine didn't make the thread. So not a whole lot like two years ago I guess. Either way, Merry Christmas BD.
Also, I can't believe that was so long ago; those were the threads that got me hooked on MGoBoard as opposed to reading the front page and a couple threads.
December 24th, 2012 at 9:23 PM ^
Merry Christmas to both of you!
Those were the days...late night electronic book piracy and philosophy that went way over my head.

but I really do have some fond memories with that whole crew watching all the shitty bowls "together" and also knowing at least one of you would be on those drinking threads when the lights went off and movies went on in my apartment after enjoying too much beer/wine/liquor.

Movies, malt beverages, and megangoblue--a winning combination!

who is sadly now gone. But yeah, those were some fun times all around. She appreciates the picture tag on Facebook by the way.

I happened to exchange a couple emails with him last year and I've been meaning to send him one and ask what the deal was, but he was pretty adament that he wouldn't be posting here any more. If I had to guess, it's more of the same stuff that led to BiSB leaving his mod duties; he had a long post in BiSB's retirement thread about his perception of the MGoBoard lately, and it wasn't exactly rosy.

I miss the freeform approach to thread creation that we enjoyed in days of yore. Nowadays I mostly skim the comments for my favorite posters and point out when ridiculously awful things happen for my own amusement. Tennis season is coming up again and our new transfers could really perform well with their fancy top-100 rankings.
Now if only some random med school would offer me a spot in their next class...
December 24th, 2012 at 9:43 PM ^
of freeform thread creation. The grown ups are gone for a couple days so go for whatever (not really though). Just make sure it has a good title, okay?
I can't give Shirtless what he wants for Christmas since I'm not as devious as he is, but here's a half hour of what you always wanted.

Can I make frontpage posts with >100000 points?
December 24th, 2012 at 9:55 PM ^
BD on bowl/drinking threads: good.
BD being the face of MGoBlog until Brian returns: bad (in a good way).

Is this the same Garrett Gilbert that played in the national championship game a few years ago?
December 24th, 2012 at 8:48 PM ^
Correct, he played for UTA.

Well, Fresno State just showed the world another example of how it is quite possible to defeat yourself on an offensive drive by getting sacked and then sacked again and allowing a safety. You have to wonder if the conversation on the sideline sounds like, "Failing blocks, perhaps on the next drive we could work our way to throwing the ball before we are pummeled...". Small steps for the Fresno State offense, right?
December 24th, 2012 at 9:39 PM ^
28 confidence points down the drain. Fresno has screwed before in bowl pick 'em too. Don't know why I picked them so high. F them.
December 25th, 2012 at 8:53 PM ^
My first bad pick of the bowl season. I am sure it won't be my last, but that was an upset I didn't expect.
