I'm trying to gather up some of the other posters to come over from the ESPN board

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

I've sent some private messages to a few people with the link to try and get them over here now that the ESPN boards are switching. I've sent the link to a few MSU regulars as well to try and get some people posting on the MSU board. All either regular MSU or Mich fans.

 

[Michchamp]

are there any Michigan posters left there who we'd want to see here? This is not a rhetorical question* as most of the posts over the last year on ESPN seemed to be hoopster or other trolls, or the occasional random fan from other school.



*Aside from ABCD, of course, but I've given up hoping he signs up.

 

[Michchamp]

I do hope more MSU posters show up. reading their season predictions where they take last years' win total and just add a couple more w's because "we'll be better this year" never gets old.

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

Well I'm trying to get DaBraylon and MiGoBlue29. Those are the only two that I've seen every once and a while from the old days that haven't switched here. Sbee and Samurai from the MSU board.

I sent the link to HighStreetMafia, Neer, and Str8EastCoastin.
Have they showed up yet?

That was a joke. Don't ban me. :bat:

 

[hailhail]

Are those guys still over there? Lol

I doubt it. I was just trying to pull some old trolls out of my ass.
(like a magic trick!)

Who was the BC troll that appeared during the hockey tourney a few years back, the one we used to constantly post CLAM-CHOWDAH! at? LOL
Was that STR8t ?

I vote to leave them in there.

 

[Michchamp]

zing!

 

[shielste]

I see how it is. I guess I don't get any love. Granted most of my posts were deleted b/c of the mods, but I was still an active poster on both the football and basketball forums and game threads. It's shielste btw.

 

[TheVictors]

can't say I recall reading any of your posts, "shielste" .....

And RABID - I can't think of the name off-hand, but recall the poster you're talking about - I think the "CLAM-CHOWDAH" reply was one of mine. Comes from an old SNL skit ....

this coming from the fan base that is the king of claiming victory in games yet to be played.

I predicted two more wins for MSU because we don't play OSU or Wisconsin and replace them with IL and Purdue. I guess that's just being a blind homer, right? having a healthy offensive line will help as well.

yes.

And I don't know if our fanbase is the only king of that. maybe co-regent, along with every other fanbase, except maybe EMU, MIT and Princeton. EMU fans know their sports are terrible, and MIT and Princeton fans have enough mathematicians to correctly understand probability, statistics and the phenomena of homer-bias.

 

[RABID]

Good to see you Sbee.

My prediction of 15-0 last year was pretty reasonable. Almost happened, ball just had to bounce the other way a couple of times.

I remember the posts about how MSU had no chance for 4 years because of Sam Mcguffie's commitment. it seems like Michigan fans want to just add up the rivals stars of each roster and that will determine the victor.

my predictions for MSU are in line with national analysts and vegas.

EMU grads/students generally add a few wins to what the national publications have to say about their team

Do you think your predictions are in line with what most Spartan fans are saying on message boards?

I think you have it wrong here. It's probably the EMU students that you still see driving a Vega.

Time to move on. There weren't many Michigan fans saying that then and if there were, none of them post here.

And Red --- I just successfully incorporated "secondary" and "tertiary" into my 2nd Quarter Review I am submitting later this morning!!
