I am finally admitting defeat - XM gets his dollar

Submitted by mGrowOld on July 21st, 2023 at 10:46 AM

As some of you might remember, during the Harbaugh contract kerfuffle I bet XM a dollar he would not be our HC in 2023.  Well the time has come for me to finally acknowledge the error of my ways so I'll be mailing him the dollar I bet to settle accounts.  

For those wondering why I've waited so long to pay this off despite all the NFL jobs being taken, spring practice being held, recruiting in full swing and not one hint or rumor of his departure I can answer that question in one word:

Warde.

PS: Could you guys possibly jam more ads onto the home page?  Sheesh.

PPS: The is the second MgoBet I've lost and settled. Back in 2016 Jeepen Ben and I placed a case of beer wager on the World Series.  I sent him a case of Great Lakes beer so this loss was far less painful both financially and emotionally.

Mgrow, you're the best, but keep the dollar, at least for now.  though nothing has been said about the contract since january and we all just assume it's been handled/signed....nothing of that has actually been confirmed.  

tell you what, assuming the deal is done hold on to the $ and we'll do a 'double or nothing' for this coming off-season.   deal?

I was tempted to downvote you, not for any problem. (If anything, you deserve mega-points.)

But at 55557 MGoPoints, I and some other downvoter could have gotten you back to the aesthetically pleasing 55555.

But, alas and alack, I see you're already up to 55559 so the opportunity has passed. 

Unless you want to post something egregiously noxious.

The ads right now...oooof. Can't scroll down to the board or read half the page with all the stuff popping up everywhere. Hoping that changes before football starts.

do people for real not use ad blockers these days?

also, good on ya for honoring your debt. Put it in a trust. In 200 years or so, one of Xs descendants will be able to afford a McDonalds cricket-burger

This post should've waited until camp starts.. this feels like how your jinx some Pat Fitzgerald type stuff into fruition and Harbaugh gets fired in the next week.
