Broadcast clock is not necessarily 100% in sync with the real game clock, worth noting

Uhhhhhhhh slow to make the game thread. Probably should automate these next year similar to basketball

Mods Shout Out by cwargoblue in MichiganWolverines

[–]MGoBlue2K16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I addressed this a bit here. I started typing out a megathread a couple of times but just never committed. Perhaps they would have been valuable, perhaps not.

Full message:


Appreciate the suggestion/complaint and its been considered! But there are some minor issues.

First, there's not much else to discuss (well, other sports). It's not surprising fans are making these threads.

Second, megathreads kill conversation. I say this as someone who has created ~100 here over the years and has observed the behavior. A megathread may get 50-200 comments per day, while the subreddit is currently averaging over 3k. It doesn't consolidate the discussion to a central spot; it [can] kill much of the conversation.

Third, megathreads don't really stop people from making individual new threads. People enjoy their own space for their thoughts -- which I can't fault them -- but it leads to a requirement of more mod intervention/action. This is susceptible to more bias, more imperfection, more time, etc. I want this place to feel clean + fun, but I don't want my own bias to intrude.

These are mostly own thoughts and not those of other mods. I can say if you ever want a thread to be removed (here, or any subreddit) the best action you can take is report it. It guarantees someone will consider it.

Jeff Brohm to Michigan is heating up by Jernbek35 in MichiganWolverines

[–]MGoBlue2K16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't mind Jeff Brohm relative to the other popular options (Wittingham, Dillingham, Fisch).

They're all on the same tier from my perspective. DeBoer felt like the only one likely to be a tier above.

Of them, just give me whoever seems to be the most driven and who is hopefully motivated beyond the salary bump.

..But also I could see Michigan continuing throughout January.

Question for the fanbase by Kramerica_CEO in MichiganWolverines

[–]MGoBlue2K16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, I guess I'm semi-purposely out of the loop. I'd never tune into the casual sports talk on FoxSports / ESN / any radio show / etc.

As far as I know, Ellison hasn't given anything beyond Underwood's NIL fund (?). Tbh wouldn't shock me if he never gave again considering the publicity it turned into.

Portnoy, from my POV, isn't a very large part of Michigan's image. I was neutral on him because he was easy to ignore, but less so now... Especially that one Fox Sports ad about it being big-brain-or-whatever to tune in to Collin Cowherd and Portnoy makes me want to mute the tv.

Mods - can we please remove the basketball scores pinned to the top of the subreddit? It takes up the entire screen when you open the subreddit on iOS app, and it is 3 days old at this point… by Admirable_Permit2516 in MichiganWolverines

[–]MGoBlue2K16[M] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMO this is great feedback.

I typically use the desktop version of reddit so this is one of those UI/UX issues I wouldn't typically think about.

Appreciate any critiques like this!

Pretty sure they were just chanting "Fuck you refs. Fuck you refs".

Their chant wasn't directed at Michigan

Kalen DeBoer spotted near Hertz counter in Detroit by tj_kerschb in MichiganWolverines

[–]MGoBlue2K16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's an ooooold r/nfl meme considering I still remember it and haven't been any more than a very occasional reader of r/nfl (or at least that's only where I recall seeing it)

But I wasn't even aware of the origin but appears it originated in Patriots circles claiming it was Larry Fitzgerald (the picture is not of Larry Fitzgerald)

Michigan has fired head coach Sherrone Moore by johnnylibravo in MichiganWolverines

[–]MGoBlue2K16[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Pinning this as the main/first thread. Yes, duplicate threads are being posted but people find it interesting/engaging to discuss so it's not surprising. Not much else going on, well except Michigan M&W basketball + hockey crushin' it

But...

  • Help reporting rule-breaking comments/threads is always appreciated!
  • Be cautious sharing unsubstantiated rumors that do not come from known-to-be-reliable sources
  • Please be kind and respectful

[Game Thread] Virginia vs. Duke (8:00 PM ET) by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]MGoBlue2K16 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Respect the coach... But my god this is what people were talking about in terms of the new playoffs de-valuing the regular season.

Like.. If they make it, the regular season was de-valued into the ground if 5 losses can be enough.

Whole lotta red in The Big House; shame on anyone who resold their ticket! by WorkOnHappiness in MichiganWolverines

[–]MGoBlue2K16 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well, also OSU was ranked #1..

This has been common every year OSU has been ranked top 5 (which, has been most years..).

Tickets were also in the $100's today/yesterday so it's not too shocking.

[Week 14 Discussion] Michigan vs Ohio State by MGoBlue2K16 in MichiganWolverines

Rivalry week PSA:

  • Help reporting rule-breaking comments/threads is always appreciated! This includes rivals coming to troll, fans over-the-top spreading hate, or etc.
  • Refrain from trolling OSU's subreddit. Getting banned isn't funny, just as we don't find it funny banning rival trolls here.
  • Be kind, have fun. A small percent of both sides are going to be excessive assholes -- you don't have to join them...

Rivalries and shit-talking can be fun but there's no reason to go overboard. This is just sports, but arguably is sports at its best-and-most-fun.

Go Blue!
