Know if volleyball season is still going on? I want to see them play too
January 25th, 2021 at 2:07 PM ^
someone's back with a new nom de plume
January 25th, 2021 at 2:17 PM ^
"Member 59 minutes 32 seconds"
January 25th, 2021 at 2:23 PM ^
It's a glitch! I've been here since 6/14/15!
January 25th, 2021 at 2:57 PM ^
What are your other usernames so I can ban them, too?
January 25th, 2021 at 3:27 PM ^
Go Rob! Like white on rice!
Kickin ass and takin troll names!!
January 25th, 2021 at 3:05 PM ^
"It's a glitch! I've been here since 6/14/15!"
That's actually somewhat funny.
January 25th, 2021 at 3:26 PM ^
I think he’s probably been a “member” for a lot longer than that.
January 25th, 2021 at 2:25 PM ^
There goes another $5.
January 25th, 2021 at 3:25 PM ^
Burnin through his lunch money!
January 25th, 2021 at 3:43 PM ^
A few more $5 payments from this clown and they may be able to update this site.
January 25th, 2021 at 2:01 PM ^
I want to see them play... makes me very excited [edited out the remainder of his offensive post, going back momentarily to also remove his userpic--- rob f]
January 25th, 2021 at 2:06 PM ^
Obvious troll is obvious. Same day account creation ban coming up...
January 25th, 2021 at 2:08 PM ^
This is an unfunny schtick. Be more creative.
January 25th, 2021 at 2:11 PM ^
It wasn't meant to be funny.
January 25th, 2021 at 3:46 PM ^
Well, then you succeeded.
January 25th, 2021 at 10:55 PM ^
Man, I wish I'd said that!
January 25th, 2021 at 2:12 PM ^
How bad must your life suck to spend your free time trolling another fanbase?
January 25th, 2021 at 2:16 PM ^
I'm not a troll what sucks more is I'm 32 and never kissed a girl because of my hyper intense michigan fandom
January 25th, 2021 at 2:27 PM ^
Not this shit again.
January 25th, 2021 at 2:38 PM ^
You're like an insect that emerges from its larval stage, has a very short life spent fruitlessly looking for mating opportunities, and then expires without passing its DNA on.
January 25th, 2021 at 3:01 PM ^
Theory: big bob 69 is from Novi and the $5 for an account will never be a barrier.
January 25th, 2021 at 9:04 PM ^
We hope!
January 25th, 2021 at 3:15 PM ^
Your misogynistic userpic just got vaporized and your account permanently banned.
January 25th, 2021 at 3:24 PM ^
Rob f = troll killer.
January 25th, 2021 at 3:44 PM ^
What is good in moderation?
To crush the trolls, see them exiled to Bolivia, and to hear the lamentations of their moms who have to clean up their rooms in the basement.
January 26th, 2021 at 9:36 AM ^
Didn’t care about this thread, but when I saw Conan, had to stop and give you a big thumbs up for the commentary. Excellent!
January 25th, 2021 at 3:51 PM ^
Signed, Dylan McCaffrey.
/too soon?
January 25th, 2021 at 2:02 PM ^
I would want to play too. In fact, as a classical singer who’s been largely grounded for going on near 11 months, I totally get where they’re coming from. But neither my desire to perform nor theirs should get a stronger voice than what public health experts determine is best for all.
January 25th, 2021 at 2:13 PM ^
You’re right. Individuals should not be able to use their own sound minds after a years worth of learning and data and knowing the right precautions to take.
January 25th, 2021 at 2:18 PM ^
You're not actually responding to what bluesalt said; you're projecting
January 25th, 2021 at 2:21 PM ^
Sad whiny snowflake, whines.
January 26th, 2021 at 12:51 AM ^
You know, CNN has a comments section.
January 25th, 2021 at 2:26 PM ^
Yes, because if the last year has shown us anything it’s that a large chunk of Americans are totally capable of ‘using their own sound minds’ to make safe/responsible decisions in the interest of public health.
January 25th, 2021 at 4:05 PM ^
I keep using the "drunk driving" analogy. Every single state has laws about that, and nobody whines that "we have 100 years of data on drunk driving, we should let people take the risk if they want to!"
We don't trust people to realize the dangers of drunk driving and choose not to; we make it illegal.
We don't act like drunk drivers are only a danger to themselves; we recognize that they might kill people.
Most drunk drivers don't get into accidents. Most make it home without any issues. Doesn't mean it wasn't incredibly dangerous.
January 25th, 2021 at 10:52 PM ^
No offense Pope, but I have trouble with the drunk driving analogy. Students wanting to go to school or play a sport shouldn't be compared to people willfully breaking the law and putting others at risk.
At some point in society we need to have the honest discussion that every lockdown decision has tradeoffs that have real consequences.
January 26th, 2021 at 11:12 AM ^
shouldn't be compared to people willfully breaking the law and putting others at risk
Um... okay then. Irony seems to be lost on you folks.
January 26th, 2021 at 3:46 PM ^
So Michigan athletes that want to play should be treated like drunk drivers... got it.
January 26th, 2021 at 4:42 PM ^
Or--people wanting to drink and drive shouldn't be compared to people willfully putting others at risk by refusing to social distance.
January 25th, 2021 at 2:28 PM ^
Interesting. If everybody knows what the right precautions are to take, then why are there so many factions of citizens taking different precautions?
And who has a year’s worth of data to analyze the B.1.1.7 variant if it was first discovered in September?
Does it count as a sound mind if people primarily rely on social media memes as “facts” in lieu of actual double blind scientific studies that have been peer reviews and published in a medical journal?
January 25th, 2021 at 4:17 PM ^
Nation with worst covid status due to ignoring public health officials says they totally got it now, as long as they can keep ignoring public health officials.
January 26th, 2021 at 2:06 PM ^
You mean the CDC and their fake Chinavirus numbers?
January 25th, 2021 at 2:24 PM ^
A very scary statement "public health experts determine [what] is best for all." There are very, very good reasons why public health experts do NOT determine policy directly. Their motivations are not necessarily what is best for the public in general, and they are not directly elected. This does not make them bad people.
A public health expert will nearly always choose the most conservative path, because their livelihood is rarely dependent upon being right or wrong - or even how the economy/school/department is doing. Businesses, student athlete welfare, etc are not really considerations. They will favor zero or near zero risk consistently. Then the people actually in charge get to choose to follow those recommendations or not, based upon all the considerations.
Maybe the best thing to do is follow public expert advice, and maybe not. But public health experts should NEVER determine that directly.
January 25th, 2021 at 2:28 PM ^
Right - we should let incredibly smart people like UMfaninFlorida decide over people who, you know, actually know what the fuck they’re talking about
January 25th, 2021 at 3:12 PM ^
And if you can't realize that there have been MAJOR legitimate questions about multiple public health expert policies that have been enacted by executive fiat over the past year, then it's going to be real hard to have a sensible discussion about this.
January 25th, 2021 at 3:46 PM ^
Whatever those major problems are, the people making those decisions are in the best position, from an education and policy perspective, to make those decisions. Not you, not me, and certainly not these truther dipshits. If you can’t admit that we’d all be much better off if the nation as a whole sucked it up and did what was asked for a couple months - then there really is no point discussing further
January 25th, 2021 at 6:45 PM ^
Have you looked at their credentials? MDHHS had a degree in education. Governor has a degree in communications. These are the people that have closed restaurants because some people that got COVID (and recovered) once went to a restaurant.
Suck it up for a couple of months? If only.
Tip - Approximately 40% of Americans are low on vitamin D while 80% of COVID patients are low in vitamin D. You might look into getting more sun or taking vitamin D.
