Twitter believes Tom Mars used material from mgoblog
November 10th, 2023 at 12:58 PM ^
Brian is Tom.
Tom is Brian.
MGoBlog is a man!!!!
November 10th, 2023 at 1:07 PM ^
Is Mgoblog 40?
November 10th, 2023 at 1:11 PM ^
In blog years, yes.
November 10th, 2023 at 12:58 PM ^
Why wouldn't he? I made the statement in an earlier post that The MgoBlog has done a better job with this than any single media outlet.
November 10th, 2023 at 1:02 PM ^
Is this bad?
November 10th, 2023 at 1:03 PM ^
I don’t see why it would be. A cogent argument is a cogent argument.
November 10th, 2023 at 1:05 PM ^
It's not according to the OP of the diary post, although the Twittex user tried to make it sound like a "gotcha".
November 10th, 2023 at 1:02 PM ^
In these times, it's not outlandish to consider that an AI tool like ChatGPT helped him out with this and IT ripped off MGoBlog. That's the kind of thing you need to be wary of when you use generative AI. The machine isn't sentient.
November 10th, 2023 at 1:02 PM ^
Brian or Seth confirmed the mgoposter is not Mars. I do think he identified himself as a lawyer. Isn’t it possible/likely this is just parallel thinking? Like when multiple comics have the same joke about airlines or men vs women?
November 10th, 2023 at 1:03 PM ^
Give the man 1,000,000 mgopoints.
November 10th, 2023 at 1:03 PM ^
Why? Because MGoLawyer and M’s lawyer both saw the same legal obviousnesses?
November 10th, 2023 at 1:03 PM ^
Leaders and the BEST

OP:
Copy the tweet's URL, then click the Insert Media Embed icon (with the little + sign in the bottom-right corner, to the left of the dropdown box that likely says "Normal"). When that window opens, paste in the URL and click OK. When that screens disappears, you'll see a text-only version of the embed in the comment window. Go ahead and finish your post and hit Save. You'll then see the full embed like this:

Okay. But how do I post a gif? Asking for the OP...
November 10th, 2023 at 1:04 PM ^
I especially loved how Mars titled his letter "Overtaking Ass"
November 10th, 2023 at 1:04 PM ^
GO BLUE!
November 10th, 2023 at 1:05 PM ^
Friday toast to rym again, who should receive mgoblog medal of honor.
November 10th, 2023 at 1:05 PM ^
I can't wait to get back to just talking about actual football.
THAT said... this blogs contributions to real life stuff over the last decade have been pretty cool.
November 10th, 2023 at 1:05 PM ^
Saw that …. Likely not true. The mgoblog post was an analysis of the by-laws. Mars would come to the same conclusion because — well — that’s what the by-laws say
November 10th, 2023 at 1:16 PM ^
Down to the italics? May be
November 10th, 2023 at 1:06 PM ^
I think this is the opinion of @nycsouthpaw
I doubt that Twitter, Elon Musk or X has an opinion on this
November 10th, 2023 at 1:07 PM ^
I say use every resource at your disposal. This is war!
November 10th, 2023 at 1:08 PM ^
Brian already responded to the tweet yesterday evening.
(Media embed still isn't working)

If you do the click on the Share icon, copy link, it doesn't work. If you go to the address bar and copy the link, it works. Weird, huh?
November 10th, 2023 at 1:10 PM ^
We literally win the Internet!!!
November 10th, 2023 at 1:11 PM ^
Rym, how cool is it to tell your Michigan friends you're part of the reason Harbaugh won't be suspended?
November 10th, 2023 at 1:16 PM ^
This was on an SI article that came into my news feed. Link
However, one Michigan fan noticed that certain passages of the letter by attorney Tom Mars were taken nearly verbatim from a post on the Michigan athletics fan site MGoBlog.
“Parts of pages 4 and 5 of Mars’ letter are plagiarized verbatim from my diary post the other day, right on down to the language I italicized in B10 Rule 32,” wrote MGoBlog user rym. “No worries — the point of my post was to contribute to the cause, and it appears to have worked!”
Rym, you da man!
November 10th, 2023 at 1:21 PM ^
I love that they included Rym's later response about contributing to the cause. That's awesome.
November 10th, 2023 at 1:17 PM ^
Smart man..why he's a lawyer
November 10th, 2023 at 1:22 PM ^
We are all Tom Mars.
November 10th, 2023 at 1:23 PM ^
Tom Mars is out of this world. 🌎
November 10th, 2023 at 1:27 PM ^
WTF - Way The Face?
November 10th, 2023 at 1:30 PM ^
I think Mars was a good choice for attorney, but I do believe that Harbaugh should have taken a look at Attorney Jackie Chiles---he has a pretty good record too.
November 10th, 2023 at 1:30 PM ^
I hope he used some of my posts where I refer to Thamel as a douche bag. I only report the facts.
November 10th, 2023 at 1:31 PM ^
Mars is a smart guy and appears to be utilizing all intelligent sources to establish his case.
November 10th, 2023 at 1:32 PM ^
rym IS Tom Mars!!!! Also, there is a ball of unobtanium at the south pole.... yet I get called the conspiracy theorist.
November 10th, 2023 at 1:33 PM ^
"Twitter believes Tom Mars used material from mgoblog"
And why not? We is the smarterist!
November 10th, 2023 at 1:36 PM ^
That is incredible!
November 10th, 2023 at 1:37 PM ^
boy, the michigan haters are running out of fuel, quickly....
November 10th, 2023 at 1:55 PM ^
I thought both responses were excellent. There were a couple of things in the Mars response that caught my eye.
He specifically mentions Illinois state law. There are two entities involved here, Michigan and Jim Harbaugh, with similar but still somewhat different interests. If a TRO becomes necessary could Michigan file in federal court and Harbaugh file separately in state court. Might get two bites at the apple.
The other item was quoting from Dan Wetzel’s article. He basically forced Petitti to go read an article that out right calls him dumb.
Brillant!
November 10th, 2023 at 2:07 PM ^
Who cares? Mars would have been silly not to have been following the conversations here picking and choosing ideas from the fanatics base of the greatest school in the world. I hope he takes mine and puts a pic of my middle finger in his document. I won't file a copyright claim.
November 10th, 2023 at 2:46 PM ^
Makes you wonder if the media is even aware that Michigan has a law school, and some of the graduates are football fans! /s
November 10th, 2023 at 3:23 PM ^
Love how the tweeter tries to put a negative spin on that information but most of us think its pretty darn cool.
