blog awards blow
blog awards blow ass
blog awards blow ass chunks
There is a Temple fb blog? That fact in and of itself is worthy of an award.
I was just thinking the same thing JHS....
How does everyone feel about a blog (more like a website) that houses all this awards crap?
Also houses other articles, blog posts from the main core of college football bloggers.
I could set it up, but would people use it?
did the first three comments of this thread have anything to do with the inspiration to start a blog that houses blog awards?
@der

because, i would, like, totally, comment on how much i hate blog awards daily on the website. start that baby up.
Not to start a site so people can complain about them, rather have a centralized location for them to be hosted at. I currently have no desire to travel to any other site than mgoblog.
It was just a question. I took those first 3 comments as a sign that people get bothered when their favorite blogger blogs about something their not interested in. This would alleviate that.
I'll take your comment as that no one is interested.
Thanks.
todd jones gave up six runs and five hits in one inning of work today. great.
3 people online? It's a f-ing tuesday! What else do you have to do?
more bondo change-up stories. when it rains, it pours.

Do the Tigers have any other decent up-in-coming closers? How long can we ride out Todd Jones?
Aren't they grooming Zumaya to be a closer, though lately the only thing he's good at is closing the last few notes of his guitar hero solo.
Is there anyone else? It's hard following the Tigers out here in DC. I miss my youth when I was so close to Detroit.
@maize4blue
I agree that a centralized location for all the blog awards is a good idea. However, I think the reason they are spread out on a handful of blogs is so less frequented, but quality blogs can get some traffic. I think your idea is a good one, though.
But if we did that where would we put the Best Blog Award Blog Award?
that's right.
sound it out.
it works.
@Jim Harbaugh Scramble
I totally agree. I understand why they do it this way. Spread it out, get readers to go to different blogs, see if they'll like/follow them. It's especially important since a lot of them have Google Ad-Sense or other online advertising deals. Definitely wouldn't want to impede on that.
I was just playing around with the idea. It would be cool if there was a Big Ten governing blog devoted to covering/forwarding people to the various big ten sites; though with a less commercialized aspect, like most of the upper-level sports sites.
Hey, here's to thinking. Thanks.
zumaya was all-word a couple of years ago and then the guitar hero injury happened, and now this moving boxes during a fire injury happened, and hell probably never be the same again, which is a damn shame. rodney looked capable to be a closer, and then he lost control of his fastball and he started to get lit up by hitters. when he can control his fastball he is damn good considering he has a wicked change-up, but he often relies on it too much. so, to answer your question, no, the tigers do not have any up and coming closers unless rodney and zumaya can go back to 2006 and replicate their performances throughout that season
@der
Do you foresee any mid-season trades for a closer if TJ doesn't get it together. I mean, he's pretty consistent in that he's not inconsistent. But under the right circumstance he does alright.
Wasn't there word of trading Jones or him going somewhere else after last season? I might be wrong.
i dont see any trades happening. in 2006, when zumaya was dominating and jones was in the middle of his rollercoaster act(like every other year) leyland made it clear that jones was going to close games as long as jones had a right arm attached to his body. leyland is very stubborn with his closers and does not like to change and experiment with them. i did not hear of any talk of trading jones. just the usual griping of the fans about tj. i highly, highly doubt that they deal for a closer this season, even though i would be all for it. however, the tigers did have interest in octavio dotel last year, i think, but im pretty sure that they still wanted jonsey to close games.
anyone have the 1962-1966 beatles greatest hits cd? if you do, listen to day tripper and tell me thats not hendrix. i dont get how they would mistakenly claim hendrix to be the beatles and then put it on cd. no way is that george playing guitar...
seriously...this temple guy's blog consists of two whole pages of posts for all of 2007? That's what, 50 entries maybe? And a whopping 2 dozen comments from readers?
gimme a break, voters
Day Tripper's is not that hard a riff to play. Even so, George was supposed to be one of the better musicians (as in with instruments) of the Beatles. There is a version of Day Tripper done by Hendrix. It was on some cd with the word radio in the title. There is also a live version of him playing it.
@tim
i just found it wierd that the hendrix version of the song would be on a beatles cd. noel redding does a pretty good job of trying to sound like john, though, ill give him that. you can also hear hendrix talking in the background, but you can tell that george is not playing guitar when hendrix starts his solo, when he breaks out of the riff. maybe the song isnt supposed to be on the cd and i put the song under the wrong album. confusing stuff. its a double cd with the first cd called 1962-1966 and the second one called 1967-1970. maybe an anthology cd?
u ppl r boreing .
debord to seahawks?

I figured Da-Bored would get a job somewhere. This Seahawks gig is a step up from what a figured he would get.
Fat guys must gravitate to the Seahawks.
Nooooooooo! First he killed my college team, now he is getting his dirty mitts on my pro team. Bad MikeDebord. Do. Not. Want.!!
Double fuck. I just checked the PI and apparently we just signed TJ Duckett. Its a banner day for the Seahawks.(sarcasm.....dripping....)
I just had a content explosion. I haven't been on since at least Saturday. Is it bad I want more?
these post are really boring.
duckett? i wouldnt be upset with that signing, he played very well for the lions all last year, and im not being sarcastic. im pretty sure he averaged over 5 ypc. i was hoping that the lions could resign him, but they cant resign anybody.
thanks for posting the non-BCS award info, brian
GUYS YOU ARE TOTALLY BEING DISRESPECTFUL.
DON'T YOU KNOW. IF I BREAK UP WITH RUSSELL, THE ENTIRE LSU CAMPUS WILL KILL ME. I HAVE TO DATE HIM UNTIL HE SIGNS HIS loi. AFTER THAN I CAN CONTINUE MY RELATIONSHIP WITH JAI EUGENE. OHHHHH BABY YEAH
YEAH!
I know what albums you're talking about. You know, the ones where all four are looking down from a balcony. Just listen to the albums. Get Past Masters vol. 2. It has singles from 1965 and on and is just heavenly. Then get all of the other albums from Rubber Soul and on.
I was playing Antonio Bass as my QB for my second season of NCAA 08. We were playing at Oklahoma St when he got injured. Yup, 7 weeks out. Fuck. And he is so good at running the option. I won at OSU after beating Utah and then we play at Notre Dame followed by USF at home. Then the Big 10 schedule starts. Imagine that for a real life OOC schedule.
Oh wait, USC's OOC schedule next year in real life is harder. They play at Virginia (minus Chris Long) and then get the Buckeyes at home.
I'd like to request donations from the crowd, so that I can perform a psychological and sociological study on the readers who post comments that involve panic about the recruiting class at this stage.
I am interested in finding out how these people deal with daily events. For instance, recruiting classes are traditionally, especially at Michigan, rounded out until the winter and the approach of signing day. So, people begin to panic in early March when we do not have a strong class. Nearly one year from the National Signing Day. I would like to see how these people react in a similar, real-life situation. Paychecks are usually distributed on Fridays. This does not change very often. Do these people come into work on Tuesdays and panic when they do not have their upcoming check yet?
Further, I'd like to investigate their reasoning abilities. Most normal humans are able to realize that if they had the ability to run a football team, they'd most likely be at least involved with running a football team somewhere. The fact they are not is a piece of solid evidence that they are not qualified for such a job.
Continuing on that note, most people would look at the career of Rich Rodriguez and figure that to
a. Have a track record of success
and
b. Continually be promoted through the ranks of college football
he must be fairly capable at what he does. I intend to determine why, in the face of all evidence, these people believe that Rich Rodriguez does not know what conference he is coaching in and instead of recruiting, masturbates wildly onto his office paper shredder.
If Coach Rodriguez is so neglectful of his duties, it is out of character and downright bizarre. In that case, I need to know how these select few genius posters have determined this well ahead of anyone else.
Thank You for your money.
dex, i'll donate one half of what MDan already owes me. as soon as i get my money, the check will be in the mail.
you're a non-profit charity, right?
I certainly am.
I'm also an ordained minister, thanks to the internet.
That might not hold up in a tax law case though.
hmmm...2 visitors...let's see if anyone can help me.
I need a new michigan shirt, and can't find anything cool without a stupid nike swoosh or bright yellow color online. I've got a cool faded off-yellow (spicy brown mustardish) shirt i got at steve and barry's like 10 yrs ago, but it's got permanent pit stains (yes, gross).
In fact, I remember steve and barry's had a bunch of simple but cool michigan shirts that you couldn't find elsewhere. Unfortunately, I'm over 1000 miles away and for some dumb reason they don't do interweb sails.
Anyone have any ideas for where I can find a simple cool shirt? I may end up getting one of those linked from this site (maybe 'worst state ever'), but would love some other options.
Also, whatever happened to that michigan superman-style shirt that used to be advertised on here?
Just get the In Rod We Trust shirt, it's awesome and simple. I'm wearing one while I drove through WV on the way to Florida this month.
I'm intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. I will donate $30,000 ZWD to your research.
Why thank you, that will help me on my quest to venture into Zimbabwe and purchase a 2005 Detroit Pistons NBA Champions t-shirt.
In case anyone's interested in what Cobrani "The Cobra" Mixon is up to these days, it appears to be aggravated burglary:

yeah, dex, i like 'in rod we trust' but most people wouldn't get it. If anything they might just assume it's a simpsons thing, but I think 90% of folks would have no clue at all. If only it said 'michigan' somewhere on it...damn copyright issues. same with 'worst state ever.' most people outside the midwest would never recognize that worthless blob as ohio.
Why is it so hard to find a simple shirt that just says 'michigan' in block letters and in a cool faded color and doesn't have a stupid nike swoosh? and that superman shirt looked awesome! where did it go, dammit?
also, dex, I'm almost a psychologist and would happily donate my quantitative skills (and numchuck skills, if that would help) to your cause.
in other news, social science folks should find this frickin hillarious:

First we need to locate the posters in question IRL. I propose the best way to do this will be spreading our selves throughout the stadium on opening day against Utah. The first time M goes 3 and out, listen for the over the top complaining and arm chair coaching that these people cannot help themselves from doing. Note their seats. When it is halftime, and M is only up 21-6, they will be the ones loudly proclaiming that RR is overrated and we need to run or pass more (it will be the opposite of what we did in the 1st half) and that the new D co-ordinator is in over his head.
Then follow them to the bathroom, hit them over the head with a hammer, and leave their body in a dumpster.
Dex,
i hate you with every ounce of my exsistence...
but damn! you are a hell of a writer....
you are my hero
Why do you hate me? :(
gsimmons, i see you're getting a little power hungry over at your blog. just because its your blog, we HAVE to look at your car, huh? lol. also your kids do not look pumped to be hanging out with you in that picture ha ha.
just like my kids, focus on the one negative in my post, instead of the two great things i said about you... gah...
me hating you is just a minor thing,
But I like you!
bgh....
we are half asleep watching a movie...
gregory cant stand not being around me...
and you will look at my car, and like it...
ok dex, you have convinced me, i like you.... once again your arguments are so good, its impossible to disagree....
when i become father and my kids start to express the natural and wholly understandable desire to not be around me, i'm going to give them two choices: (a) pretend youre happy you ungrateful piece of shit or (b) get sold on the black market. i know of several chinese resteraunts looking for an indentured servant.
bgh, that's the stupidest thing I've heard.
I'll buy your children bgh. I'll be a good daddy.
Dex, possible bait for said posters:
After McGuffie doesn't run for an 80-yard touchdown on every carry, exclaim "I thought he was supposed to be fast!" - check for concurring opinions.
After Mike Martin tackle: "Isn't it odd that no one is congratulating him?"
After any mildly unsuccessful play: "Bo wouldn't have done that. He would have ______ (say opposite of what RR did)"
I guess recruiting won't get interesting until next Thursday.
henne, you may say its stupid, but i recently watched a program on msnbc in which white babies were yielding around 100k on the black market. im not the kind of guy that can turn down a good deal.
dex: no.
the thing is, i spend so much time at the school, that everytime i come home, at least for now.... gregory is so excited, i spend all my time messing around with him.... the 9 month old not as much becasue he has his big brother who he looks up too. but even brandent gets excited when he first sees me....
i def. spend twice as much time with other peoples kids then i get to spend with my own.... till they get to my level that is...
i just got a memo from a co-worker that reads as follows:
"Whenever the consulate security/back round form states United States, it should read Canada/Canadian."
wut???
@bgh
I'll give you 150k.
@chitown
I like it. Can we add "I think Demmens is wearing a bra" to the list?
what about rocko khoury's nice chest?
gsimmons: i can certainly undertsand what you're saying. although im not a father and had sort of a crappy one, it seems that moms relate better to the younger kids whereas the dad role is more important as they get older, especially with boys. if i have a girl im going to be an emotional wreck and probably accidently ruin my daughter's life.
dex: oh shit thats a hard deal to pass up.
Mone on TP commiting March 24
bgh,
i buddy of mine, crazy wrestling coach... was having a kid the same time we were having gregory, when he found out he was having a girl, he went through all the normal stages of a tragedy.... first he denied it, said it was a mistake etc. then he was angry, upset, depressed, had feelings of inadequecy... I probably didnt help much when i told him i would give his wife a go if he neede me too, since i was pretty good at making boys...
I that when you find out you're having a daughter, your child should come with a free shotgun with which you can keep away every male until your daughter is 21.
It was my understanding that baby girls were to be tossed into the river at the first opportunity?
Anyway, Dex, I think the people you're looking for are the same people that, when there is a decision to be made about the program, first ask themselves "What would Bo Schembechler do?"
gsimmons:
first, a great way to start any story is to begin with "i buddy of mine, crazy wrestling coach." you say you arent a writer, but your prose says otherwise. but i toally get what the wrestling guy is going through, i went on a cruise a couple years ago, and these 13 year old girls are running around in two piece bathing suits with bodies, and they are aware of this fact. i mean, whats happening? when i was 13, the closest i camee to sexual actulization was perusing the bra section of the sunday kohls catalouge. and lol, its always funny to offer to bang another man's wife.
I thought that was cats?
Daughters got abandoned on mountains, I thought. Whatever, it all comes in the parenting manual.
have you guys seen the bad girls club?
I've seen clips of it on The Soup, if we're talking about the reality show.
BGH - yes. If my hypothetical daughter ever behaved in such a way, I'd be homicidal.
@chitown
What do you think of handing out "What Would Bo Do?" bracelets at a tailgate, as a way to identify these people? I think it would be a good start. Further observation would be needed before they are branded/killed, of course.
im a regular viewer of the bad girls club. i dont think ive missed an epsiode this year. how can you go wrong when you stick a bunch of publicity hungry, over-dramatic sluts of questionable character in a mansion stocked to the gills with white wine? the answer is, of course, you can't.
tanisha is my girl though.
BGH,
making fun of my writing is not something to be proud of man.... i mean come on, do you make fun of the way little retarded kids talk too?
It is a curse i was born with, and i will forever be ashamed... thanks for noticing it...
bo is in heaven with god and the all the angels, chillin and laughing and having a good time.
Bo, much like Jesus and the Flying Spaghetti Monster, isn't the problem. It's the people that worship them that are the problem.
gsimmons, i actually wasnt making fun of you... starting a story by taliking about "buddy of mine [yours], crazy wrestling coach," is actually awesome. it leaves the door wide-open for some bukowski-ish delineation of wild times. lol, and i did not notice the typo until after i posted.
i aint got no problem with jesus, its his followers that i got beefs with.
Dex,
who is this "flying spaghetti monster" you speak of? and if i swear my allegiance to him, will he bless me with your writing and spelling skills?
tanisha is my girl though
POP OFF!!!!
That's the only episode I've seen.
@ Dex
I think the WWBoD? bracelet would be an excellent way of preliminary sorting.
BGH,
cant back track now, you made fun of my affliction, you are now and forever a "meanie"
but yeah i was going to say something about how all my buddies, and all the wrestling coaches i know, are some how all crazy....
@gsimms
The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster can grant all your wishes. They have a website at :
http://www.venganza.org/about
why people involved in wrestling are crazy:
1. requires participant to wear a lycra suit
2. babes do NOT like wrestling
3. it gives you colliflower (sp) ear
its the perfect storm, really. all cons, no pros. takes a special person to love wrestling.
Lycra is awesome.
mmmm...spaghetti.
hey guys, watching scott shaffer talk about bump and run teaching progressions right now....
for those of you that care... i said.. i am watching shaffer talk about bump and run techniques... that is the new michinga dc tlaking about how to play good press coverage...
some of you should be very excited..
bgh,
I had an admittedly brief stint training in mixed martial arts - grappling and standup fighting - and every single one of my trainers and sparring partners were confusingly proud of their cauliflower ears. Those who didn't yet have one were hoping to eventually "earn" one. I thought it was friggin' disgusting and everytime I had one rubbing against my face as they contorted me into positions of extreme pain I felt like hurling; which, come to think of it, probably would've been an effective way to get out aforementioned position of pain.
Bo is probably questioning a call made by God.
Click me!
how can you go wrong when you stick a bunch of publicity hungry, over-dramatic sluts of questionable character in a mansion stocked to the gills with white wine?
Answer: Don't include me. Here's why:
A) I happen to love sluts.
B) I'm not terribly over-dramatic, and I'm a guy, but I'm definitely a slut of questionable character.
C) If by "white wine" you mean Jager and by "mansion" you mean a van down by the river, this already describes my life.
I haven't seen the show, but assuming their not too bad I'm all about it. I'm in a slump that's so bad I'm willing to do just about anything that moves right now. Seriously. It's so bad that when I walk in the room fish stop swimming.
@gsimmons: Dude! Where are you watching Dr. No teach the bump and run? I know everyone else is all about the "cautious optimism" but screw that- if I'm gonna be disappointed I'm gonna do it huge. 3 years from now our D will be totally and utterly unstoppable, our offense will foresake running and simply teleport to the endzone, and congress will pass a law making it legal for Barwis to snap the necks of every whiny little bitch he ever comes in contact with, just by using his mind. I totally believe this.
