Petition to replace the Cursed MGoBlog banner

Petition to replace the Cursed MGoBlog Banner

Brian has explained his logic in the current site banner on a recent podcast and, respectfully, I'm pretty sure he's the only one that understands it.

That being said I strongly suspect having a banner showing a penis shaped head wearing sunglasses, licking the corner of their peachfuzz mustache on this fansite is affecting the Mojo of our team.

I propose replacing the above banner with something a bit more swole & wolverine-ish at least for the Wisconsin game as an experiment in positive Mojo.

Please sign below or neg me to oblivion thanks in advance!

UMProud, I don't get the banner, I don't like the banner, but perhaps most importantly, I don't CARE about the banner. I care about Michigan content, and if we have that, the rest doesn't matter. Mgoblog could have a cheesy banner with no pictures and that horrid computer blue and blinding maize, a la the beginning of the network. The banner could have Brian, wife, and child all dressed in Michigan regalia. The banner could have Brian, Seth, Ace, et al. UMProud, maybe you could email and offer your graphic design services to come up with a banner? Instead of just whining and complaining, come up with a creative solution.

I thought he did. He laid it out nicely in the OP and I agree with him. If the banner gets changed, just watch how many times Shea pulls the ball and how many time he targets Nico.

So... you want to...

Invoke the image of a mass murder and rapist from a popular TV series to represent a program that supposedly hangs its hat on integrity?

How about just put a vintage photo of the stadium, or a football helmet?

You're not the only one. I think it's entertaining how pissed off people are about it. Embrace the idea of Pitbull. You don't even have to like his music! (Do people like his music anyway?)

It's hard to have a real good time in BPONE. If Pitbull does the trick for our leader, who are we to bash it? I would never want to stunt his creative juices from flowing freely, like a Dr. Pepper down the throat of an Instagram model underneath an overpass somewhere in South Beach.

I'll sign the petition strictly on the shitty music Pitbull put out there. All of the reasons you cite are just extra gravy that I also support.

God I f'ing hope not... if Pitbull embraces Harbaugh, I'll clean out all of my M gear, and declare a state of emergency in the state of Michigan and denounce my Ann Arbor and U roots. I'd rather see Trump and Hellary fornicating in the middle of the diag

To this petition I say Boooooo.

There is plenty of Michigan related things that are seen when one accesses MGoBlog. I say make the Michigan State and Ohio State trolls look at it and know that they are on the outside looking in when they come here.

Also, When you believe in things
That you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition aint the way.
