META: Read this please.
Look, I get it. You're pissed. I'm pissed EVERYONE is pissed. Nothing is going well. Everything is horrible. We get it. But people need to calm the eff down.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING:
- Personal attacks on other posters will be treated with extreme prejudice. This goes for long-time posters as well. Call another poster something that a 3rd grader couldn't get away with, and you're going to the penalty box.
- Unnecccesarily personal attacks on players/coaches will be treated likewise. "Devin has really struggled this month" is fine. "Devin sucks" is not. Saying "fuck [Player/Coach X]" will result in an instaban.
- Posts that just whine will be deleted (see: "This offense is UNACCEPTABLE!!!!11").
- Posts that just offer an opinion on long-standing debates will be deleted (see: "I think Michigan should fire Al Borges")
- Repeat offenders will be Bolivianed through bowl season.
None of these are new rules. But consider yourselves warned: Captain Insane-o shows no mercy. Tempt the ban-hammer at your own peril.
In short: KNOCK IT OFF, or be cast upon by the wrath of the mods. We are under martial law. There is no presumption of innocence, no due process, and no First Amendment. The use of unneccesary force in the apprehension of trolls has been authorized.

This is the best post I've seen in forever.

Brown noser....
November 25th, 2013 at 10:45 AM ^
"Brown noser" is 3rd grade language. Using "sycophant" instead will elevate you to the 12th grade, and thereby you will avoid being banned.
November 25th, 2013 at 10:48 AM ^
I was going to use ass-kisser, but I was trying to be nice...
I was also hoping that since The Big Lebowski was quoted in my signature that I got a free pass.

The correct internet phraseology is "SHEEPLE"
November 25th, 2013 at 10:52 AM ^
BISB notes language that a third grader couldn't get away with. Most elementary school teachers will send a 3rd grader to the office for using language that the teacher doesn't understand. "Sycophant" therefore may be bannable for posters in much of the US, including Columbus.
"You lack even a rudimentary understanding of both zone blocking and the anatomical location of your own body parts beneath the diaphragm," I believe, is and should be bannable, absent an "urbane lexicon exception".

This is a clear violation of rule #3. Is anything more debatable than what is or is not the best post in forever. Why is it still here?
Why don't you simply state the actual rules of commenting?
1. MGOBLOG is a place of dreams and fantasy, reality is frowned upon.
2. I spend my life on a message board and must be validated.
3. Everything about UM is the best. This includes the coaching.
4. Each year we are just a "few plays" from an undefeated season.
5. Etc, etc, etc.
The only one on this site who truly matters is Brian. Sadly, if any of these rules applied to him, the entire blog would be modded out of existence.

The question is, who do you think will replace Borges? Gundy? Harbaugh? I kid, I kid.
November 25th, 2013 at 10:40 AM ^
I would banish you, but the mustache you grew for Movember is too good. You may stay.
November 25th, 2013 at 10:40 AM ^
appreciation threads?
November 25th, 2013 at 12:36 PM ^
I was thinking about a Muttley appreciation thread.
You might want to start a lbpeley appreciation thread.
November 25th, 2013 at 1:11 PM ^
if you will.

This is funnier because it is in Spanish.

I stopped hearing "poo poo head" in kindergarten. I believe the proper term for 3rd-grade level would be "gaywad."
November 25th, 2013 at 12:18 PM ^
So to speak

Finally we have a leader leading us away from the A****** who post about nothing. It is is hate week. Lets hate.

This has been a brutal season for the mods - the mod action sticky is up to 3 pages again already. It had 47 new posts since I last posted in it on Thursday. I feel bad for you guys and thank you for all of your hard work. BiSB, LSA2k, & JustinGoBlue if we ever meet in person first round is on me. I fully support super harsh modding right now.

We may all ebb and flow with the success of a particular game (or even a single possession), but that justs shows our own little bouts of insanity.
After the game Saturday, I had to go to the store here in Alabama and I *wasn't* in a good place. As I was going into the store, trying to avoid eye contact with anyone and wearing, of course, a Michigan sweatshirt, a girl said to me, "I like your shirt!". Perhaps she was from back home or otherwise a Michigan fan, and she probably didn't know of my temporary, self-imposed insanity, but it did put things into perspective. This is one season, not a lifetime. Go Blue..

She was trying to talk to you.

Dammit Tim! That was your chance!
November 25th, 2013 at 10:44 AM ^
Mods, I got this. Please direct all of your hate away from the football program, and directly at me. Thanks.

Your account is only a day old, which leads me to believe you are RDT.
Actually, I think everyone here is RDT.
Hell, I think I am RDT sometimes.
November 25th, 2013 at 11:10 AM ^
No. I'm WarDamnEagle
November 25th, 2013 at 12:32 PM ^
was completely worth it. All the agony and suffering brought out RDT from the netherworld. Phoenix has risen!!
November 25th, 2013 at 12:49 PM ^
Nice try, RDT
November 25th, 2013 at 1:29 PM ^
Who is MGoCooper and what did he do to WolverineInABag??
November 25th, 2013 at 10:48 AM ^
I didn't know firing Al Borges was actually still even open for debate (*hides from the banhammer inside RedGreene's mustache*)

I swear, this place of normally sane, intelligent, well-spoken people loses double-digit IQ points with every loss and every run into the line for a loss.
I understand criticizing the coaches or noting a poor performance, but cumon people. A little perspective please.

Based on the posts on this site, I'm going with, "Yes, yes they can."

If you havent seen this Benoit you need to watch it. Trust me guys - this could be worse - you could be a Michigan AND a Browns fans like Benoit and me. I'm just starting to thaw out from yesterday freeze-a-thon of futility.
