Well it's been a while. Live blogs slowed for a bit but now seem to be picking up steam as the season gets closer.

Dark Blue hold the number 1 spot for his Midknights of the round table. It's been a great read and fun to do.
SCS keeps helping me by starting the LB's which makes it easier on me at my job. CMR has surged as a great member of the MM society with helping us produce LB's. JC keeps us going when we might just wanna  die in the off season with tidbits of news & recruiting. Seth9 has had PC issues and other tasks that have kept his Live Blog stays short but we can always expect a whopper of a post at least once a week. Irish has been getting hyped for ND's upcoming season.. So much so he has hit level "Smug". CD always comes with a lot to say or a short stay, we like him at either dose. Fly and sec20 have been dropping in for short stays but we always enjoy what they bring. OSD is fighting sand storms as we speak.

The Shake Down

SCS summer of loves continues with World Cup and setting up Live Blogs. Hulk at his highest ranking since the very first rankings. JC brings us the goods even in the dead of the off season. Dark Blue brings news that we are a top 15 Michigan Blog... which is hard to take serious with out the mother ship at the top of the list(OR ON IT AT ALL). Seth9 survived all the storms and is back. Coward Dean proving his worth with live blog appearances. Sec20 hangs on with witty stuff as always. OSD.. bizarre...youtubes. TLP blows some minds with info stating MM came from nothing. CMR and Mr.Dean fight it out for rookie of the month.

This Top 15 is brought to by Lebrontochicago.please July 1st is coming fast.

The Shake Down

SCS keeps starting these live blogs for me which is nice and I don't need to hurry. JC brought us some Ed Davis buzz kills. Hulk and I have oddly enough started to get along more..Seth9 has been limited due to PC issues. I see I some how put "seth20" and I meant Sec20. He chimes in here and there but makes me laugh most times. Dark Blue had a nice idea for a round table when the season starts. TOB pops in and joins forces with JC to form the best recruiting duo of all time. Coward Dean is making a case for rookie of the year. Fly has been missing in action a bit like a few others... ahh it's June. OSD, keeps bringing the bizarre,wrong and not cool Youtubes to Live blogs every night.

This Shredder Top 15 is brought to you by no one. We couldn't find a sponsor..

The Shake Down

A big week with a bunch of WLA people joining the fray. Seth9's Expansion posts have been great and it's where I go to get the latest of this mega conference mess. JC keeps bringing awesome news and recruiting every night(don't be scared to post this stuff). SCS has been keeping the weekend oil lamp lit and I give much thanks. Fly moves up to four and becomes a man. Hulk still watching LOST and running to the Store at 2am in the morning. TOB like JC feeds us the goods. Dark Blue the Bulls don't suck. OSD makes a jump for odd youtubes that you don't wanna see but can't help but watch. Sec20 makes his comments than lurks and than comments and repeat. MMW hanging on by a CBOX thread. WLA also on the move.

This Top 15 is brought to you but the MM Civil War five disc DVD box set. Get all the history in one great package! Operators standing by!

The Shake Down

I hope I didn't forget anyone. Seems to be new names all the time. JC grabs the number 1 spot just by joining the foot and giving us recruiting tidbits and news. SCS has been posting the live blogs most nights which does nothing but help me. Seth9 comes strong every night, made us proud at Black Heart Gold Pants. Hulk may have made the biggest jump in the short history of the Top 15. Watching the first season of LOST will do that(which means he's eating his words). Fly keeps bringing good recruiting notes. Dark Blue... is Dark Blue.. Oh he's a uncle! TOB climbing his way back up after going off the grid. Tater brings all sorts of crazy. TLP missing in action a bit, the screen writer maybe writing a screen play on my life and this blog. MMW has also been MIA. I think he may have switched to 2nds but I notice his CBOX presence which counts for something. Sec20 which is all solid was left off... Not sure how.

The Shake Down

This weeks love for LOST was more apparent than ever in the Top 15. Seth9 keeps the top spot with great big 10 posts and even a future LOST post. SCS dodges the LOST dive by helping me out and starting Live Blogs at 11pm. JC brings good info every time, no questions asked. Tater's postings of 42 have been a great read. Fly as of late has been bringing some JC/TOB type of info to the blogs. Sec20 Lost hating hurt him a bit but he doesn't go out of his way ala Hulk. TLP flew up the charts. His great understanding of LOST+UM love=Future Greatness. Dark Blue took a hit for his LOST hating ways but got a boost when he said he may check it out. TOB surfaced after being off the grid for weeks, we welcome you back friend. MMW is an older fella who keeps spirits (mine) high when people get tired. Jen jumped into the Top 15 for her efforts to watch LOST sooner or later. OSD and Hulks LOST hating ways have thrown them into "others receiving votes" hatch so they can push the button forever, if they don't.. what will happen to the blog?

The Shake Down

A big shake up this week, the LOST effect took a toll on some MMers. Seth9 love for LOST only helped and that he adds pretty good things every night and great posts. JC only came a few night last week but gave great info on how the D might shake out. SCS went on a Vaaaak. Sec20 climbs to his highest rank with some nice witty comments. Fly did the same, did nothing earth shattering but is just solid. Dark Blue fell from grace with LOST hate and a post saying men are not allowed to cry. OSD climbed the ladder some how. Maybe due to some great laughs he gave me.. It wasn't because of Boxxy. Tater remains stable. MMW and Cwoodson make their first jump into the top 10. Some other notes, TOB has went off the grid due to the Wings in the playoffs. Now that they are out I expect him to return(he will fly up the top 15 with his loving info) with a beard and carton of milk...bad choice. Jen makes a quick hi which is worth a top 15 right? And our pro lurker NBL is MIA!!!! Butt Darts got crushed by LOST comments and men at rest stops.

Shreds Top 15 is brought to you by Boxxy video... There is no use for this product. Its just there to annoy us and the world(besides OSD).

The Shake Down

Dark Blue hops SCS for the top spot. Dark blue had a Tux for the awards show and gave nice speeches when people were AWOL. SCS has a bye week as well. Seth9 added a great post about Big Ten Expansion. It was a novel and a great read. TOB has been missing a bit but rumor has it that the Red Wings have him down in a bomb shelter cursing refs and eating $5 Hot and Ready's most of his days. Tater has shown to the last two Live Blogs and disagrees we me on a number of topics. Always good. JC has been a bit MIA as well. Another NHL thing. Watching his Golden Boy for the Pens. Sec20 keeps climbing the ladder of success. Hulk moves up a spot. Not sure how or why. Irish made a nice jump into the top 10. He's been on a lot as of late and first ND fan to crack the top 10. Fly stays put and may jump soon. He always has nice little recruiting nuggets.

OSD drops after a disaster of a week. First Harry Potter Loving and then saying Andrews is not hot..Yes not hot. Then tops it off with Boxxy youtubes that Irish can't stop watching. He's lucky he's even allowed back. He was voted to be banished but he still serves a purpose. Who's gonna ask all the questions? Jen has been MIA a lot and wasn't happy about the awards show. Ahhh it was a joke? See you soon Jen.

The Shake Down

SCS keeps on cleaning up my messes. Even though I didnt have a live blog scheduled for Saturday night(draft night), SCS started one. TOB and JC move up due to some good info about a near possible commit. They bring some nice tidbit most nights. Will Robin ever jump Batman? Dark Blue drops only a bit. For no reason really. Others just stepped their games up(whatever that means). Seth9 with another great post about the Big 16 or 22..whatever, just read it. Sec20 seems to be opening up more,which only helps. OSD jumps a bit for watching some LOST. Tater drops due to having a day life but he will move up after his great night on Saturday night. Hulk started out at 1 and has dropped like a rock since. LOST mashing+humping a Bulaga Whale all night=A well deserved drop. Fly3 has showed up and done some nice things. Speaks his mind a bit and I hope to hear more from Fly. Jen drops out. Seems like she just shows up and meows.. Or doesn't answer my Droid question for a good 20 mins after asking 2729380 times. We will see what next week brings.

Well this week has been spotty. I called in one night and have been on vacation for the last 5 days. So not many live blogs as of late. Lets see how this thing shakes out.

1.SCS-Started the live blog Saturday night. I fell a sleep on the couch watching TV.... SCS has been there to clean up my mistakes.

2.Dark Blue-Made an effort to meet up at the spring game but forgot his phone.

3.Hulk-Good for x and o help.

4.TOB-Still holding down the 4th spot.

5.Seth9-Made a jump after getting the most votes besides "other". Not sure what that means.

6.JC-Keeps bringing good info on the whats going on at practice.

7.Tater-Good post about the spring game. Wish we could see more of tater. Always good.

8.Sec20-Gave us some inside on his life. Let us know about who,why,where,when and how.

9.OSD-Slipping down a rank. His LOST hate can only hurt him.

10.Jen-Holds onto that 10th spot. She made good efforts to meet up with me but I didnt get her email until I was in the car on my way out of AA.

11.GOBLUE4EVR
12.Turd Ferguson-Changed name?
13.MMW-Co worker is hurting his ranking

Be back tomorrow with my Spring Game findings. Also Live blog tomorrow night.

   

Out of boredom of the off season, I decided to create a top 15 user live blog poll. What factors go into coming up with the top 15 you ask? Well.... lots of things. The points DB has randomly taken and given to our users. Attendance,good info,good input,lurker points... Everything. I didn't want to include the foot clan but Dark Blue said it would be no fun unless I included everyone. It's hard to pick one writer over the other. It's like having kids. You love them all, even the ugly one(DB). So I give you the first official Shredders Top 15 Live blogging Users of Midnight Maize. I think this could move to top 25 once the season starts.

1.Hulk-This maybe a shocker.. Since we hate each other and always disagree, but... He was the first person to show up to my live blogs. He is a MM Pioneer and even helped get people to our late night shindigs. I don't know how long he could hold the number one spot but this is like the preseason poll. You know how those go.

2.SCS-Always helpful,good humor. Keeps the hockey pucks on this board happy. He also seems to rangle Jen very well.

3.Dark Blue-Gotta love DB's humor. He writes into randomness but I enjoy it. DB also gives out and takes away points. SCS love of soccer almost moved DB into the 2 spot but in the end, Dark Blue's love for odd porn knocked him down to three.

4.The Other Brian-Always brings some good info. His love,hate with Jen is always good once a night. Anything past that is a bit much. We all love us some TOB.

5.JC-A lot like TOB. Great info on the team. Has a good understanding of football. Always keeps us on topic.

6.Seth9-The newest member of the foot clan. He has already stormed the blog with great posts about things outside of UM football. I see Seth9 having a lot of upside and may move up the polls fast. He is also a time traveling nerd/LOST fan like myself so that can only help him.

7.Tater-Would be higher up the poll but he has a normal life, with a normal sleep pattern that I envy. So Tater isn't on as much as others. He does make great posts that piss of news papers and MSU fans everywhere.

8.osdihg-Our friend from a far might ask more questions then any MM user. He also gets points taken away faster than most users for his outlandish comments.

9.Sec20-Sorta of an mystery. Shows up often and always has good input. Been around a while.

10.Jen-Loud,drama and fun. Her joke about TOB going to bed early because he has the MEAP test the next day cracked me up to no end. We also share the same phone. That's gotta count for something.

That's how it stands as of now. I think we may see some shake ups as the weeks go on. Tune in next week for the most useless Top 15 poll on the internet.
