THIS ARTICLE HAS A SPONSOR: Its Nick Hopwood, our MGoFinancial Planner from Peak Wealth Management. Have you checked out his podcast yet? Hes been bringing in interesting guestsRichard Hoeg was one, Brians bolded subconscious alter ego was another (actual Brian plans to do one soon). If your financial strategy is to bounce around liquidating failing companies, you dont need Nick, but if youve built something that has value, and this has in turn gotten you some value, and youve got a lot of life yet to go, you should talk to Nick about a strategy for that.

BECAUSE OF RECENT EVENTS, LETS JUST NAME SOME ENTIRELY THEORETICAL DAVE BRANDON BURNER ACCOUNTS AND SEE WHERE THIS GOES
slackbot: quit drinking and go to bed
Ace: Slackbot knows this is a bad idea but were gonna power through it.
The Mathlete: This a probable mild bad decision, @probablemild
Seth: @thebrand1234567
Ace: @retailactivationerror
The Mathlete: @enoughlatenightdrinking
Alex: @campdavid6969
Ace: @everafter734
Alex: @vulturecapitaltoysrus
Seth: @tgiff And by the way we are docking the cost of those cardboard boxes from your last paycheck.
Ace: @findanewteam
@happylife_goblue
Seth: @...
The Mathlete: @plentyofseatsonmyjet
Ace: @lochdogg
The Mathlete: @wowexperience
Seth: @section1.
Ace: lol, was waiting for that one.
Seth: Sorry, Section 1.
Ace: Should we maybe tell people why were doing this? This is why were doing this:
The Curious Case of Bryan Colangelo and the Secret Twitter Account
A collection of Twitter accounts that has criticized Joel Embiid and Markelle Fultz, disclosed sensitive information, and outlined team strategy shares eye-opening similarities. What does that have to do with the Philadelphia 76ers decision-maker?
I never thought Id say anything like this but& at least Brandon knew better than to get on the bad side of his own players?
[After THE JUMP: we create the space.]
The Mathlete: (do we want to offer some sort of a bounty for anyone that can track back a potential Brandon burner account)
Ace: (my god yes, I still have that Dave Brandon football card)
slackbot: quit drinking and go to bed
Brian: @mypersonalityihavetofixit
Seth: @createthefuture, @innovatethespace
Brian: I should state for the record that I don't think Brandon actually had any burners.
Ace: &but wed be interested in learning about any.
Brian: Because he just emailed people under his own account.
Ace: This is true.
Brian: Also remember that post on the official site about "big boy football"?
Ace: His university account!
Brian: To have a burner you have to have a sense of shame.
Seth: @pimphand from back when Dave read MGoBlog.
Ace: Or be illegally sharing medical information. So& maybe we should check some tweets from after the Morris incident.
Brian: Again, Michigan was just throwing that out there in public possibly illegally. I absolve Dave Brandon of the sin of having burners, because he's guilty of all others.
slackbot: quit drinking and go to bed
Alex: Would you put it past @pizzadave5and7 to defend Dave Brandon's sartorial choices online?
slackbot: quit drinking and go to bed
Ace: Every time I think back to 2014 it gets more and more, just, how did any of this happen.
@onedaymediatour
A deep cut: @heretoacceptanaward
Alex: My take remains this: if Shane doesn't get concussed, and if Michigan doesn't create a massive PR crisis, Brandon isn't fired in time, Harbaugh doesn't go to Ann Arbor, and we get Butch Jones or something.
Ace: The emails helped.
Alex: but. his. e. mails.
Brian: I don't want to get into Man In The High Castle alternate histories until Harbaugh wins a thing
Ace: Fair.
Seth: Michigan had way more problems in 2014 than the football coach.
Ace: There was a rally on the school presidents front lawn during, I believe, his first week on the job? About football. He came from Brown. That had to be a hell of a hello for Schlissel. He still looked completely befuddled about most of this at the presser announcing DBs resignation.
Alex: Well if @thebrandthebrandthebrand had made some good points in Schlissel's menchies, who knows what would have happened.
Ace: @deleharding
Brian: Yes, poor bastard. "This seems like the kind of academic institution I can respectably leave my post for. Oh, look, a protest! The vital wellspring of campus life! Seems strangely male, I wonder if this is about--
it's about what?
Did I sign that contract already?"
Seth: Schlissel had a pre-scheduled meeting the morning of the Fire Brandon rally with the Detroit Jewish Community Relations Council. First thing he said when he met with us (i.e. our director and board officials) was "I don't want to talk about football."
Brian: We all get there eventually.
Ace:
Surreal.
Was then, even more now.
Brian: I cannot believe that happened
Alex: I was in a creative writing class in Angell Hall when this was happening and my classmates were wondering why a helicopter was hovering overhead.
The Mathlete: Remember how I was randomly in town and you, your wife and I randomly ate dinner together after?
Brian: At Seoul Garden?
The Mathlete: Red Hawk, I think.
Brian: Both good options.
Ace: I definitely took photos of Brian getting interviewed on the local news in a Michigan hockey jersey.
Seth: Kenny Magee sent me some photos of that. I think the reporter had to stand on a duffel bag because Brian was too tall for her.
Ace:
The Mathlete: you were plotting your run from Trustee
Ace: The whole album is just absurd.
The Mathlete: We should plan a 5 year reunion of the event.
Alex: I'm hoping for An Oral History Of The Demise Of David Brandon at some point.
Seth: I bet Two Cokes guy is successful now.
Ace: The absolute best protest sign, bar none.
Seth: Ohshit the meme guy is in there.
Ace: HES EVERYWHERE
Brian: Some months later a guy @-d me something about how Brandon had accomplished more than I ever would and his twitter bio said he was the manager of brand activation for a pro sports team.
Ace: That was Dave Brandon.
slackbot: quit drinking and go to bed
Brian: His twitter was not anonymous! He swiftly deleted the tweet and went private IIRC.
Ace: lol
Brian: I am the manager of brand de-activation
Ace: Way better gig
Seth: That explains the website launch.
Ace: Hey-o.
Coming soon!
The Mathlete: -ish
Brian: GUYS
Ace: were all fired
Seth: No it's still Thursday.
Wednesday
Whatever I blog.
(for now)
Ace: TWO DAYS, BABY
FIRE ALL THE TAKES
Brian: Anyway this is probably enough Dave Brandon retrospective for one year.
slackbot: quit drinking and go to bed
The Mathlete: We need to save some for the Anniversary Party next year.
Ace: Yes. Thank you, Bryan Colangelo, but also not.
Alex: More like Cryan Bolange-- no, NO wait! sorry! I'm trying to dele-- [gets hauled into the Sarlacc Pit]
