It's 23 Days Until the CFP and I Got a Lot of Problems With You People...
Mates,
We have an interminable 23 more days until the CFP and it's a good time to air the grievances. A lot of hand-wringing this past week about TCU, can we beat UGA, and what if there's a re-match with ohio? Get a hold of yourselves! Injuries, transfers, disaster, oh my, the sky is falling!
And these threads, what's with some of these threads (including maybe this one....)? Have you collectively lost your cotton-pickin' minds? The poor mods have to baby-sit all day. robf mercifully locked the Griner thread. Enough with the threads from hades.
So, air those grievances, get 'em off your chest, and let's hear them. Either that, or you must perform a feat of strength. Now get to work.

I was just thinking about starting a Festivus thread. Good thing I refreshed my browser first.
December 8th, 2022 at 1:58 PM ^
A little early for Festivus.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:05 PM ^
I prefer a traditional Festivus celebration rather than contemporary.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:06 PM ^
Agreed, appreciate the enthusiasm but we all know orthodoxy says Festivus happens on Christmas Eve eve.
December 8th, 2022 at 3:57 PM ^
Ironically, in the Latvian Orthodox church, festivus is actually celebrated 16 days prior.
December 8th, 2022 at 4:56 PM ^
Unless of course you have the Kavorka, then you are to avoid all celebrating especially around the fairer sex
December 8th, 2022 at 1:58 PM ^
Linny, Tuck And Ming-Ming Too!
We are all “Wonder Pets”!
December 8th, 2022 at 2:00 PM ^
Stop crying and fight your father!
December 8th, 2022 at 2:01 PM ^
Oh hell Yeah!!!!
December 8th, 2022 at 2:04 PM ^
I wanted to make a thread about floating dog heads. I guess I'll just post a GIF here.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:14 PM ^
I try to start each day with a meme or GIF for my team. I am glad I waited, because this is really fucking with them.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:41 PM ^
Share some of your good ones. Maybe this is a practice that I need to pick up.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:41 PM ^
Is anyone else hearing Chariots of Fire while watching this?
December 8th, 2022 at 3:07 PM ^
I am now. Thanks.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:04 PM ^
YOU'RE ALLOWED TO NOT HAVE AN OPINION ON SOMETHING. YOU'RE ALSO ALLOWED TO WAIT UNTIL MORE FACTS BECOME CLEAR. YOU DON'T HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY PICK A HARDLINE STANCE ON SHIT (LIKE INJURY DRAMA) AND START FIGHTING ON THE INTERNET
December 8th, 2022 at 2:11 PM ^
I RECOMMEND ENJOYING PIZZA WITH A SIDE OF SEASONED LEGUMES BECAUSE THEY WILL COUNTERACT THE CONSTIPATIVE EFFECT AND YOUR CHEESE FARTS ARE GOING TO STINK UP YOUR ENTIRE ZIP CODE ANYWAY
December 8th, 2022 at 2:04 PM ^
Ok. OP, you are a guy that lives on a farm in Michigan. Where did the 'mates' thing originate? Also, do you say other weird things like 'melk' and 'pop'? Only grievance I have at the moment.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:05 PM ^
I have left the begel on your pellow.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:11 PM ^
I say pop and I’m from the Eastside.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:13 PM ^
What a coincidence. I'm Mr. Brightside.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:25 PM ^
My son says "soda." We have always been a "pop" family and I don't like it. Feel like there is an outside influence I don't know about messing with his head.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:43 PM ^
I tailor to my listener.
December 8th, 2022 at 3:32 PM ^
That's just wrong. You gotta get that kid straightened out.
December 8th, 2022 at 3:55 PM ^
I say pop, but people who say “melk” and “BAG-el” are freaks.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:27 PM ^
My grandma always used to say "warsh" instead of wash. Always wondered where that fucking 'r' came from.
Love you, Grandma!
December 8th, 2022 at 2:42 PM ^
My father is from Maryland, where it is definitively pronounced, "warsh."
December 9th, 2022 at 11:07 AM ^
Born in Jersey (it's soda, not pop), raised in Michigan (it's melk, not milk), live in Maryland.
Still can't get over my Marylander wife saying "mere" instead of "mirror."
But I gladly adopted the second-person plural "y'all" as a far superior conjugation of the English language.
Now let the Festivus airing of grievances continue!
December 8th, 2022 at 3:28 PM ^
That reminds me of a weirdly-pronounced word I've never heard outside of my immediate family:
"Eingins", as in "don't forget some chopped eingins for the chili dogs.
Other than Dad always pronouncing onions like that (and a couple of my siblings still do), I have no clue the origins of that version. Since his dad (my grandpa) was born in and later emigrated from Poland, my only guess is that's how onions are pronounced in the old country.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:37 PM ^
mates is really my quick short hand on 'listmates' or 'blogmates' which seem unfriendly and standoffish, and better than 'friends' or 'buddies', or something like that. besides, i went to austrailia years ago so i can say 'mates'.
melk is a no-go, especially on a farm that has been in 'milk', as the term goes. pop is correct usage.
if you still have objections you must overcome them with a feat of strength.
EDIT: incidentally, LSA 01, your avatar is no bueno. get a new one.
December 8th, 2022 at 4:04 PM ^
Here's why 'melk' is acceptable, in my opinion:
We have plenty of people of Dutch descent here in Michigan, and especially in West Michigan (where I was born and currently reside).
Guess what the Dutch word for milk is? "Melk".
December 8th, 2022 at 4:31 PM ^
I don't even drink coffee; I just grew up on Simon and Garfunkel
December 8th, 2022 at 8:20 PM ^
definitely need a new avatar. may i interest you in something with a michigan flavor?
December 8th, 2022 at 8:23 PM ^
I’ve been in California for the last 20 years. I say soda, but I know deep down it’s pop.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:09 PM ^
But people need to know how I feel!
December 8th, 2022 at 2:09 PM ^
Don’t be that person in an injury thread that brings up HIPAA and implications related to discussing said injury, getting info, news, etc. We all know we’re not entitled to details of an injury, but we all want to know anyways. This will not change. Nobody thinks you’re smart or deep or highly intellectual for injecting HIPAA into the conversation.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:12 PM ^
Champion. You spelled HIPAA right. Can't tell you how many people write HIPPA. My grievance? You think you're better than everyone else because you can spell good.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:44 PM ^
What's your stance on proper grammar usage?
December 8th, 2022 at 8:32 PM ^
My stance is its a outrage.
December 8th, 2022 at 3:11 PM ^
I used to lurk on MGoBlog
Just kinda hung around
But I really hate the transfer news
You cannot talk me down
Now I'm doing my own research
This news, it isn’t fair!
All’s doctors must be crazy
Cade’s info they must share
So we can see what's going on
It's HIPAA be square
It's HIPAA be square
December 8th, 2022 at 2:13 PM ^
The current diaries are pretty good though
December 8th, 2022 at 2:18 PM ^
How about no more Cade or All threads. I am tired of all the nonsense.
December 8th, 2022 at 3:47 PM ^
December 8th, 2022 at 2:22 PM ^
I have to air grievances about the board with a post worthy of grievances.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:26 PM ^
Well I never!
Give me a minute, I'll remember what I never.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:27 PM ^
XM, my son tells me your company STINKS!!!!
Until you pin me, Festivus is NOT over!
December 8th, 2022 at 2:30 PM ^
i wrestle heavy-weight mister. maybe too heavy-weight, but heavy-weight nevertheless.
December 8th, 2022 at 2:33 PM ^
Can we play Chardee MacDennis instead?
December 8th, 2022 at 3:32 PM ^
Sure, just remember to nail the board down first. At some point, Mac's going to get really pissed off because he's losing and he's going to try to flip the board over.
Dennis is asshole. Why Charlie hate?
December 8th, 2022 at 6:50 PM ^
CAUSE DENNIS IS A BASTARD MAN!
