Yo this is going to be some #content right here, since I dont have time for nothing else. I was going through our lists in preparation to transfer the tertiary things to the new site (dont ask) and this reminded me it had been a long time since we cleaned up the links on the sidebar.
Ive done so, but it hurt to remove some old bookmarks I used to check every day. So they dont all just get summarily dumped, I figured a thread in tribute to some great Michigan writing during the formative years of blogging was in order. If you joined the sphere too late for the age when 20-something Michigan fans all had blogspots and tried to invent our own shticks so as to not come off as LiveJournals, some of them are worth going back and reading.
A top three:
An Xs and Os Michigan blog. Chris Gaerig is one of those guys I keep meaning to contact about writing for HTTV sometime because he was a fantastic writer as well as a deep thinker about specific Michigan plays. His posts used to get linked regularly in UFRs. Neck Sharpies exists because I set out myself to fill some of the void he left. Also: basketball.
There are two types of MGoBlog readers: those who think we have too much hockey, and those who think its awful how little we cover hockey. Tim Williams started his site because we didnt have enough hockey coverage at MGoBlog and if he still had time to write hed be a regular here, since were all among the former as well.
Though he has a far better writing gig these days, I still think of him as Johnny RBUAS. If you have ever wanted to feel very emotional about a beloved Michigan players fictionalized stream of consciousness, this site was for you. If you havent, really thats okay, I wont curl up in a ball and cry, unless Johnny RBUAS writes about it. Bonus: the url was umichedme dot blogspot.
Others I remember and dont:
What did I miss? What do you miss?
