OT- What’s Your Favorite MGoBlog Reference?

Submitted by uferfan on July 4th, 2022 at 8:00 PM

Street Chemist posted the “Nik a Pac” thread a couple of days back and got shot down with neg votes, but showed his level of MGoBlog fandom by reaching back for an obscure reference that perhaps only some of the regulars on here understood.

That led me to thinking- what is your MGoBlog reference that you have lingering in the back of your head? Do you have one that more one this board would know like CJK5H, or do you have a really old school one that only a select few on here would actually get? Let’s hear them!

What a great topic for mid-summer where not much (other than the recent B1G news) is going on with UM athletics.  I've been a long-time lurker, occasional poster, but a few favorites are:

- "Muppets"...for obvious reasons.  If these videos are posted, something great has happened with a UM team.  Historically, the posting of Muppets often coincides with a mgoblog overloaded server.

- "Quit drinking and go to bed."  Signals one of the best moments of this blog after they fully exposed Dave Brandon which led to his dismissal.

- The board trying to decipher the information in posts from GhostofJermaine

- The griping during the annual Draftaggedon posts.

All of my favorites have already been posted, but c'mon...  How could 'jarred or canned gravy' be completely left out - especially early in the thread when camping was referenced?

It's jarred for me...

Just using initials to label someone connected to Michigan and 50+ comments of people saying "wtf does this mean?!"

JH was hanging with JH and JH and talking about recruiting DM after finishing a BM. The plan for recruiting TE for GN is up in the air after what SM and JH, and of course what JH want from the position. They figure the best path is to go JB on the recruiting trail to find 5* talents that's currently 3*. Lucky that SC, RB, and MR are on the staff now to help JH and JH continue this path.

Bravo, just bravo to all of you.  This was the best thread I've read since December 2021.

 

I'll add one:  WifeDay.  The original post was a classic.

I bought the Excellence Is Good t-shirt. Wearing that one gets a lot of quizzical looks.

It's screened on the old-school, Guildan Heavyweight UGP stock. Even after many trips through the laundry, it's like wearing a burlap sack.
