MGoBallers
So there are a lot of good posters on this board. And I've always wondered, who is an ex-football player? Who played on the basketball team?
Also - if you are a corporate CEO, I'd be interested in hearing about that too.
Let's see what kind of talent we have on MGoBlog.
Myself - I played on a non-revenue sport and graduated in 2001. Currently in sales.

And RDT. You did accumulate points quickly.

I don't think it's any big secret that he's Ghost of X. Especially considering how reactionary he is when the teams aren't doing so well...
February 25th, 2014 at 9:52 PM ^
Huh? I've been here for less than two months. What teams are you talking about?
February 25th, 2014 at 10:34 PM ^
Do you think anyone pretending to be from Alabama has ever seen a show on PBS?

i did synchronized swimming in high school.
February 26th, 2014 at 9:36 AM ^
kinda makes you a baller
February 26th, 2014 at 11:03 AM ^
nope,
nah, Not even in a joking sense. It in fact makes one as far from a baller as you could possibly get.
February 26th, 2014 at 1:46 PM ^
we were state champions. so.... there's that.
February 25th, 2014 at 8:07 PM ^
Had a career record of 4-8 I think. Wasn't very good, but it was fun.
February 26th, 2014 at 9:43 AM ^
Yep, I am a little bit of a legend at the broomball...
my buddies and I did win an IM championship and get to go to the end of the year banquet in 99 or 2000 (one of those years)... so, I have that to brag about.

Shit! Fuck! No! I meant to edit! Not reply! ABORT! ABORT! ABORT!
Well... damn...
February 25th, 2014 at 8:13 PM ^
It's okay, we like Al Borges now.
February 25th, 2014 at 8:23 PM ^
Here's a selfie. Al Borges wouldn't know what a selfie is
Here's me in my playing days

Little more difficult to play at Michigan, so I played rugby instead during college.

Self appointed captain of a drinking team. Won a bowling league at Colonial Lanes. Second place in the Touchdown's beer pong tournament once. Got kicked out of an IM Softball Game for running over the catcher. (It was my 21st birthday. I was basically blacked out already. It was more like a tackle. I was friends with him. It was funny to everyone but the umpire.)
If you want an autograph, just ask a mod for my email address.
February 25th, 2014 at 8:45 PM ^
who considers himself an avid collector of OMG Shirtless autographs, this is an incredible opportunity. Your inbox will surely be flooded but that's the price of spreading the love I guess.
February 25th, 2014 at 10:08 PM ^
I have also won a bowling league at Colonial Lanes.

My apologies if that was the case. Glad you overcame.
February 25th, 2014 at 8:16 PM ^
I started for Lloyd in the Rose Bowl.
In the band.
February 25th, 2014 at 8:17 PM ^
I'm the CEO of Touch the Banner, where all dreams go to . . . die.
Also, I play basketball twice a week with a bunch of 18- to 30-year-olds, so technically, I think that makes me baller.
February 25th, 2014 at 8:17 PM ^
Undefeated in broomball. NBD.
February 25th, 2014 at 8:24 PM ^
Came within one shootout goal of a championship. Shit still chaps my ass.

I don't do much..Just eat, shit, and read MGoBlog
February 25th, 2014 at 8:25 PM ^
I would like your response better if you removed the commas.
February 25th, 2014 at 9:37 PM ^
February 25th, 2014 at 10:18 PM ^
This post made me laugh so hard that a mere upvote is insufficient. I sing your praises, sir!
February 25th, 2014 at 8:25 PM ^
I am absolutely a baller. I own a 4 bedroom house (3 car garage) and I've been to Mexico twice this year. I drive a Toyota Prius V (the big one) and my wife's minivan has (count 'em) three DVD screens. I do CrossFit 5 times a week, except for this past week because I hurt my back. My backyard has two umbrella tables, and a chiminea. I have a 401(k) and two 529 plans.
I think that qualifies.
February 25th, 2014 at 8:28 PM ^
Until you said you had two umbrella tables. That's not possible.
February 25th, 2014 at 8:29 PM ^
I did kinda embelish on that one - one of them is the little tykes kind, for the boys. Technically, I wasn't lying.
February 25th, 2014 at 8:37 PM ^
Very excited to get back to CF 5 times a week now that basketball coaching and cold season (hopefully) are done. Are you ready for this year's MGocrossfitflamewars with the open starting this week?
February 25th, 2014 at 8:40 PM ^
To be honest, I'm not sure what the MGoCrossfitflamewars is. Is that something I missed around here last year?
February 25th, 2014 at 8:59 PM ^
Someone posted an OT thread last year after the first open workout was posted and it went into the typical crossfit is dumb argument.
February 26th, 2014 at 12:33 PM ^
February 26th, 2014 at 8:07 AM ^
Oh, God, this made my day. Thank you.
February 25th, 2014 at 8:33 PM ^
February 25th, 2014 at 9:19 PM ^
Did they succeed?
February 25th, 2014 at 8:36 PM ^
My story is still yet to be written.
February 25th, 2014 at 8:38 PM ^
I am not sure how to answer this except I spent many years designing electric reliability projects in the Ann Arbor area, so while I credit myself with some successes, obviously the power still goes out in extreme conditions from time to time. Actually, sometimes it happens in not-so-extreme conditions, so I suppose it isn't a 100% success. Glad I rolled that track record into managing people who do that now.
I am also working my way up the amateur mod circuit, hoping one day to declare for the Mod Draft and go pro.
