    I guess I was just thinking why not include it as it was going up. Also, who will be the night game this year?

    The stadium renovations were extremely controversial. A well-organized "preservation" group sued to limit the renovations to the original stadium design (ie no superstructures with luxury suites). Night games in AA also have always been a controversial topic. My guess is they didn't want to bring out more groups against the project by combining the two decisions. The renovation plan always included the ability to easily add permanent lights and they were approved as a separate decision after all the major construction was complete. No night game this year.

  • So the lights at the ND game weren't permanent lights?

    Two Sparty posters - NigelUno and DWags - have been frequenting our board lately. Anyone at all familiar with Nigel and DWags knows exactly what they are up to. They are not here to have a friendly chat. Their sole purpose is to stir up trouble and then sit back and laugh about it (note: M&B, I promise you they got a wonderful chuckle over getting you and me to bicker with each other earlier today).

    Nigel and DWags have been suspended more than once and are now banned from tBB for a reason. Many reasons, actually. And since they no longer can troll tBB, they have recently been hanging out over here. I am not suggesting they should be banned from our board in a knee jerk fashion, but no one should be under the illusion that they are like BeBucksBeGone or even SpartanRocky. They are not. Nigel and DWags are trolling 100% of the time. They are fairly new to our board and are still just trying to figure out what they can get away with and what they can't. You should have minimal tolerance for their garbage.

    Edit: Just to make sure there is no confusion, I am not a mod and have no special authority other than being a member of this board. Everything above constitutes my personal opinion.

    I'll throw my 2 cents into this.

    Dwags can be a solid poster. He throws out little barbs here and there, but usually nothing to bad. He gets bad when another MSU poster shows up and they start throwing acting like they are at trcmb and bounce Michigan insults back and forth. Overall though, he usually brings quality insight into the topics he is discussing.

    Nigel, he is another case. His method of bringing up anything negative related to Michigan and then hanging up and listening is fine on tBB, but isn't needed here. I laugh at his attempts now, but those that don't know, fall for it over and over again and it brings nothing but flames to threads his is in.

    You're still welcome. I don't think you should be perma-banned.

    Had the better portion of a cinco de rum last night. I've learned not to bring my phone and post on such nights in the back yard by the fire. Gets me in trouble on these boards

  • I just skimmed through this thread; here's my twocents:

    I pass through about every two weeks, mostly looking for threads related to MSU. It seems 90% of the threads on this board are related to UM football recruiting, including threads about 'prospects' that are freshmen and sophomores in high school. That's fine if that's what's important to Mich fans but it's not likely to draw a lot of traffic from fans of other schools.

    Like other MSU fans I'm used to the 'rough and tumble' of the RCMB. That style seems to offend many on this board and the posting volume reflects that...

    To each their own, i guess. I, for one, am glad we don't have 100 threads a day, 80% of which have nothing to do with athletics or the school at all. I'm fine with reading about recruits ( it IS a recruiting site after all). I like reading opinions from others about football. I enjoy the good natured ribbing of other schools when something unfortunate happens to them (ie. the recent Deciommitment of a recruit from OSU).

    Frankly, plenty of us, dont want to be a part of an rcbm-like site. As I said. To each their own.

    I would.

    They can keep all that traffic, I would rather have a smaller community that is respectful to each other and can actual discuss things civility.

    I think it's technically called tRCMB. You're mixing a couple of those letters up.
