Dax Hill recruitment: lemon eaters need to come forward and pay the piper (update)
OK. So I won't do this every day, but I thought it would be good it give an update on our "lemon-ophiles". For for those who are new to party, here's the original link: https://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/dax-hill-recruitment-lemon-eaters-need-come-forward-and-pay-piper
I was fully expecting a lot of backtracking, but was happy with those who stepped up and fulfilled their "citrus commitment". I think its worth noting that video and/pictures are needed to prove that you did.
Updates are as follows:
RockinLoud: I will suck a bag of dick-shaped lemon flavored candies if he flips back to UM
(Update: Has apparently ordered dick-shaped lemon flavored candies (or something similar). Let's follow-up on this. Should be in interesting video)
B1G or Bust: I will suck a bag of lemon-shaped dick flavored candies if he flips.
(Update: answering with somewhat of a cop-out, he donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation instead. I'll take it.)
Perkis-Size Me: I'll eat a lemon and shit myself simultaneously if he comes back.
(Update: We haven't heard a peep from him and hasn't posted since the OP. This it probably one of more interesting promises, so we should keep a pulse on his posting and call him out in other threads. My guess is that he'll back out of his commitment and create a new account to avoid backlash.)
I Like Burgers: I will eat a bag of lemons the day Michigan flips a 5-star Bama commit.
(Update: Hasn't posted since my OP)
Motives: I am of the same sentiment, lol. (meaning that he will follow I Like Burgers' lead)
(Update: says his post was in jest, but will own up to it. No video/pics yet to prove it)
Adrian: ll see his bag of lemons and raise another bag, mostly because i like lemons
(Update: say's he will fulfill his commitment once I Like Burgers fulfills his)
DCGrad: I will take a lemon too to help with this.
(Update: he's owning up to his commitment and will show video/pics soon)
BIGWEENIE: I will do it. 1 bag of lemons. Come on down kid
(Update: Hasn't posted since my OP)
Chalky White: I'll eat a box of Lemon Heads.
(Update: he's owning up to his commitment - not sure if we will see video/pics)
theguy49503: I'll volunteer to help you (I Like Burgers) eat them
(Update: Hasn't posted since my OP)
LSA91: I don't want to identify the things I would eat to get Hill back to Michigan.
(Update: has decided to eat a lemon or donate to Chad Tough. Haven't seen proof of a decision either way)
ih8losing: I'll join the lemon eating party should Dax flip back to the good guys.
(Update: owned-up and here's the proof: https://youtu.be/LfmlWp9e4Wg)
Alumnus93: What? No way it's same as Solomon.... Hill doesn't live in Alabama does he? Why on Earth would he have to hide a Michigan committment? I don't buy this..at all.... I'll gladly eat a lemon if wrong. (I like lemons)
(Update: owned-up and here's the proof:https://youtu.be/-GOcOHm7eVg)
New addition: UofMfromCMU: I also agreed to eat a bag of lemons, disappointed I didn’t make the list here. Send me your lemons boys, I’m ready to feast.
December 20th, 2018 at 11:25 AM ^
YES! This solves all those problems of getting identified and having issues professionally (as an aside, what, are you like a lime farmer who'll get kicked out of the lime growers association?). You just better be really, really sure not to have anything identifying you if you go that route. Eating a lemon might be difficult to explain to your fellow lime farmers (or whatever you dabble in) but eating a lemon silently while staring into the camera wearing a ski mask might raise a few more eyebrows. Best of luck with your decision!
December 20th, 2018 at 11:23 AM ^
How on Earth would such a stunt cause you professional harm? Are you a lemon wholesaler?
December 20th, 2018 at 11:25 AM ^
C'mon you're not that cool! And you should've thought of that before your ego was writing checks your internet persona can't cash!
December 20th, 2018 at 1:04 PM ^
I am disappoint. Was looking forward to purchasing a bag of lemons.
OTOH, I work in the IC and I can vouch professionally that eating lemons on video will not smear an otherwise fine career. Explain that you're paying off a lost football bet, and humor will prevail. You Can Do Eeet!!!!
December 20th, 2018 at 3:11 PM ^
I hear you Burger-man. You would think after enough celebrity/politicians/corporate folks lose their jobs and possibly everything over something posted, probably in fun, on the internet 5-20 years ago people would stop posting anything even slightly off-color anywhere.
Context is everything. Imagine if 15 years from now lemons are the sign of a some new age death cult that you are retroactively accused of being a member of.
December 20th, 2018 at 10:40 AM ^
I am surprised this is getting as much attention as it is. I believe there are more important things to bring to light than people doubting a teenager's choice of college. Certainly we can agree on that. But I also believe this is just for fun and won't try to rain on the parade too much, I only hope that this continues for more serious issues. Main one being people on this site who belittle and demean our players with vulgarity and visceral hate, even if it is in the heat of the moment. Unfortunately I do not have any social media nor a YouTube channel, you will just have to have faith.
December 20th, 2018 at 10:59 AM ^
You had to be negative when we discussed Dax coming back, and you are negative now. Think the common denominator is you are a negative dude and take life a little too serious. So chill.
December 20th, 2018 at 11:12 AM ^
I totally disagree haha but you have your opinion and I have mine.
December 20th, 2018 at 11:08 AM ^
Lemons can't eat their sins.
December 20th, 2018 at 11:11 AM ^
This is possibly one of the more humorless posts I've ever seen here, and for this board, that's saying something.
Do it, don't do it. I'm pretty sure no one REALLY cares. But to take this sort of "what about the children" / "there's starving kids in Africa" rebuffed stance is just... weird.
That said, good luck with your 'belittle or demean our players" cause, convincing the dregs of humanity that they're doing it wrong seems a bit up-hill to me. If you start a GoFundMe I'll be happy to donate... or at least say I'll donate, and then not.
December 20th, 2018 at 11:23 AM ^
Huh, nice way to twist my words, although you are correct in pointing the humorlessness. I was trying to point out how there is an real issue with how people treat players on our team. I know I am not alone in the desire to use a similar format and bring these people to light. Obviously I chose the wrong thread to do that and I apologize.
December 20th, 2018 at 11:19 AM ^
Preach on, son!
/s
December 20th, 2018 at 12:36 PM ^
Motives - You sound like a fucking delight. Chill out, this is a sports blog.
December 20th, 2018 at 1:00 PM ^
I do believe I am quite "chill" although our perception of "chill" probably differ. Inferring ones emotional state from a wall of text is almost never a good idea.
December 20th, 2018 at 2:36 PM ^

my response to Motives....I ate my lemon because I stuck to my word, when I publicly doubted that Hill would come back to us.... it is all in good fun. According to your view, it thus becomes contradicting for you to even post on this board that doesn't focus on 'serious' things..... go hug a tree. I guess you are one of those people my daughter refers to as "fun killers"....
December 20th, 2018 at 3:46 PM ^
I ate my lemon as well, I just prefer not to post myself to the interweb. My original post alluded to the fact that is most likely for fun. I intended to also point out how I wish a similar format would be used for people who deserve to be brought out in the spotlight. I apologize if I seem like a fun killer that was not my intent.
December 20th, 2018 at 10:40 AM ^
This is fantastic
December 20th, 2018 at 10:49 AM ^
Own the fuck up bitches.
December 20th, 2018 at 10:50 AM ^
There is a lesson to be learned here. All lemon eating promises whether oral or anal should be made only as it pertains to the success of the Detroit Lions.
And I should also give props to MGrow and The Fugitive for fulfilling their lemon eating obligations several years ago right here on the blog.
December 20th, 2018 at 11:19 AM ^
mGrowOld is still the king both for consuming his rinds and for having the foresight to add tequila to his concoction.
December 20th, 2018 at 12:54 PM ^
Props to JClay who was actually the first to eat the rind of those who accepted the MgoBlog Lemon Challenge back in the day. And huge respect to everyone who takes on the challenge, or in this case bet, by owning up and eating a lemon or donating to a charity of choice. That was an option in the original post and very cool of all the posters.
For reference, here was the original lemon eating challenge video:
It's been hilarious and you all make this more than just a blog but a family!
December 20th, 2018 at 10:51 AM ^
Didn’t really mean for it to be a cop-out.
All kidding aside, since the particular candies in the joke don’t actually exist I still wanted to do something for the better instead of hiding behind the impossibility of the challenge.
What a great day.
Proof as requested

Honestly, I don't see the big deal with eating lemons. I eat lemons all the time. Whenever I have lemon slices in drinks, I eat the slice at the end, including the rind. During the summer, I'll sometime just snack on a lemon or two, eating the entire thing (except the seeds).
So congrats to all my fellow lemon eaters! I love lemons!
December 20th, 2018 at 11:15 AM ^
Ih8losing and Alumnus93 are truly leaders and best!
Go Blue!
December 20th, 2018 at 11:32 AM ^
I'll eat a lemon if this shit-ass 1990s era software ever works like it should and a normal human can embed a youtube video. In the meantime, here's a link to two of us eating a lemon a couple years back.
December 20th, 2018 at 11:37 AM ^
I think you're safe. I'll eat a lemon if i can ever post a pic or a gif without an extension error despite the damn things CLEARLY using .gif .jpg and .png extensions.
December 20th, 2018 at 11:58 AM ^
Curious about your error. What is your process for posting an image?
I assume youre using the little 
icon when you're posting? But maybe not.
I had this issue early in the 3.0 error, so I just post images a little bit different.
December 20th, 2018 at 11:55 AM ^
This post and video cracked me up. Well done
December 20th, 2018 at 11:41 AM ^
Phenomenal post
December 20th, 2018 at 11:53 AM ^
Does the board want a video of me taking down some lemons or would we rather see a donation to the ChadTough Foundation?
December 20th, 2018 at 11:56 AM ^
C. All of the above
December 20th, 2018 at 12:09 PM ^
ChadTough. Fuck cancer, especially in kids.
December 20th, 2018 at 12:12 PM ^
I think this might be my favorite thread of the year. Well done.
December 20th, 2018 at 12:13 PM ^
The kid in Alumnus93's video really makes it, for me.
December 20th, 2018 at 12:13 PM ^
the failure of some to own up is
December 20th, 2018 at 12:26 PM ^
Isn't there a lemon law in Michigan? We should get a full refund
December 20th, 2018 at 2:46 PM ^
Thread winner
December 20th, 2018 at 12:29 PM ^
I thank you for adding some much needed levity to this board. The Inferno-level BPONErs, the overly negative/troll/general assholes criticizing everything, the ivory tower bashers of even reasonable negative opinions, the self-important outers of alternate-account trolls, oblivious Polyannas, etc. have made for some unpleasant reading recently. In the interest of disclosure, I was starting to fall into the BPONE category.
December 20th, 2018 at 12:45 PM ^
Why are there so many middle-aged MGoBloggers who are willing to make stupid bets?
Or maybe it's that the only MGoBloggers willing to fulfill the bets are the middle-aged ones (just young enough to make the stupid bet....but mature enough to own up to it)?
December 20th, 2018 at 12:54 PM ^
Props to you Alumnus 93!! GO BLUE!!
December 20th, 2018 at 1:07 PM ^
WindyCityBlue, I LOVE that you are holding them to this. Killer threads. This is going to have to go down in the classic moments of MgoBlog history.
December 20th, 2018 at 1:21 PM ^
Many thanks!
December 20th, 2018 at 1:30 PM ^
December 20th, 2018 at 1:55 PM ^
Man I just graduated from school, I’d say around 40-50 would be max for me at the moment. At least until I start my job. Still better than nothing
December 20th, 2018 at 3:41 PM ^
What a dickish thing to say. Any amount that anyone has donated here is awesome. I'm sure a lot of people here have given to great caused this year and this season, anything done in this thread is a bonus.
December 20th, 2018 at 2:34 PM ^
For those that made good on their promises - nice job boys! Watched the two videos from Ih8losing and Alumnus93 - great job.
Those lemon candy dick videos should be a hoot!
December 20th, 2018 at 2:45 PM ^
These threads are awesome - thanks!
I'll eat the lemon AND donate to ChadTough. Main obstacle to #1 - demonstrating how fat and old I am, but I'll (a) try to explain this to my family so someone can record this, and (b) do it this weekend.
(I'm told there's footage of me at this year's Game, but haven't been able to go over my recording to look for it.)
December 20th, 2018 at 2:46 PM ^
"hasn't posted since my OP"
Weeding out the liars, 2018.
December 20th, 2018 at 2:55 PM ^
This is great, but now youtube is going to start suggesting weird lemon videos to me isn't it?
