OT: UPetition against Hail and Unite!
I don't want to prolong the Hail and Unite silliness longer than necessary but you can voice your dissatisfaction here:

Awesome! Now we can sign a petition to reject something that almost certainly would have been rejected without the petition! All while publicly humiliating a Michigan student and jokingly threatening to ruin his career and expel him! Yay!
February 11th, 2015 at 11:58 PM ^
In order to preserve the history of the University of Michigan, we request that the student group "Hail and Unite" does not receive funding from the Central Student Government. We also request that they be discouraged from creating the new fight song.

Your self righteous indigination is ridiculous. Get over yourself.
February 12th, 2015 at 1:16 AM ^
can i up vote x100
February 12th, 2015 at 7:12 AM ^
I cant upvote you Mike but Im with you on the self righteous. Id add self important and melodramatic.

I am sorry to hear of your spontaneous seizure. Epilepsy is no laughing matter.

Anytime someone starts an argument with "look," I just find it impossible to take him seriously.

Still waiting for an answer where are the threats, humiliation, and expulsion in the body of the link I posted.

"I don't know who you are. If you're looking for jobs I can tell you I don't have any. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired from the internet. Skills that make me a nightmare for people who will be in job interviews with people who have googled you. If you vote this down unanimously, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for your facebook photos. I will not scour your instagram. But if you vote for this, I will find your linkedin. I will find your whole internet. And I will kill your search results."
EDIT: Im operating on the assumption that Brain was joking, but I this is probably what he was refering to.
February 12th, 2015 at 9:32 AM ^
Right, but the petition is a much more measured, reasonable and democratic approach than what Brian took. That's why I find the visceral response to this post unnecessary.
February 12th, 2015 at 1:47 AM ^
I believe he's referencing Brian's post from Taken earlier.
February 12th, 2015 at 2:04 AM ^
Missed it. Thanks.
The UPetition had no such stuff so I was genuinely curious what the heck the SJW was talking about.
February 12th, 2015 at 3:16 AM ^
Don't really think you can lump the cyber-bullying crowd in with the SJW crowd... but meh idc. This thread is already derailed.
February 12th, 2015 at 7:57 AM ^
To add to the "he's a college student" let us also not forget this label "Adult". He's one, life can suck, but this is a small hiccup on a long road of ups and downs. This kid DOES have a horrible idea, he DOES deserve to hear about it. He is learning more now than he would have if he passed this a long as a class project that was only graded by the professor.
I also couldn't find any threats of expulsion or the like as Pinky mentioned, maybe these were commentors and not main articles?
Anyways, this adult is not a horrible person. He had a bad idea, lesson learned. He's growing up everyday as we all do, thankfully.

"ride a dragon to the moon"
That sounds AWESOME! Why didn't I think of that?

The SJW making fun of epilepsy... it never ceases to amaze me how these people get so worked up over non-issues, almost to the point of fabricating outrage, and can be so downright careless otherwise.
February 12th, 2015 at 3:11 AM ^
February 12th, 2015 at 6:58 AM ^
over-react much... You play the politics game, and if you have shitty ideas rejected by the masses, you take your medicine. Nothing to see here
February 12th, 2015 at 7:36 AM ^
When someone publicly tries to push an agenda that has the potential to affect the gameday experience for years to come, to change years and years of tradition, those who are against it have just as much right to speak as those who are for it.
Besides, David Brandon just left; fans deserve a huge break from his "4 hours of cacaphony" style of "entertainment." Forcing another "fight song" down the throats of fans who are aching for a return to tradition does not qualify as a "break."
The kid means well, but feedback like what has gone on here is essential to keep the school from further alienating a sizable portion of the fanbase.

You're fucking crazy
/see what I did there? he he he ;)
February 11th, 2015 at 11:50 PM ^
You'd think there would be some buzz about it on the board before now.

adding that one to the others i have learned on this site: nsfw, siap, etc.
still not sure about 'smh', i keep forgettting that one. always think it means 'so much hate'
February 12th, 2015 at 10:47 AM ^
as in: we're still talking about hail and unite? smh.
February 12th, 2015 at 10:48 AM ^
as in: double post? smh.

'Shaking my head'.
February 12th, 2015 at 11:29 AM ^
You damn kids.
February 11th, 2015 at 11:50 PM ^
There's no way this was going to happen regardless after Dave Brandon was ran out of town for the same things 4 months ago.
February 11th, 2015 at 11:54 PM ^
I hope you're right. But you never can be too sure. I mean, this is how idiots get promoted to executive positions in the real world.
February 11th, 2015 at 11:58 PM ^
We said the same thing about Hackett not hiring Harbaugh. The AD's not stupid. It's a dumb idea by one random student out of the 45,000 that attend the university.
February 11th, 2015 at 11:53 PM ^

I wish alums would calm down and stop freaking out that some college kids who want to write a song about their school. I promise the band won't stop playing The Victors, and their many other classics.
February 12th, 2015 at 6:37 AM ^
February 12th, 2015 at 12:04 AM ^
This canned fight song crap won't happen.
They know not to piss off the MGoWorld.
February 12th, 2015 at 7:07 AM ^
I remember when I used to like you. Now I cringe everytime I see you post something.

.....it's hard to distiniguish as to whether he's trying to promote Michigan or himself in some of his posts. There are a few regulars here that fit that mold.
With that said, everything that most of us know about eachother centers on this blog. Going as far as to basically state that you hate someone due his writing style and content seems a little harsh.

I remember a time when WD was this super upbeat, positive young man who knew all these things about U of M off the top of his head. That was really amaznig. Then the email thing happened and suddenly somebody's head became a wee bit too big for their body. And its cool, you can only be the person you are.
Or maybe I'm just a petty little bitch. Hard to tell.
