Two Michigan grads from WI meet on-line in a U of M-themed forum.

The comments section in the article is hilarious. Sounds like Scoop isn't the only stew of rage, moral indignation, and  iron-clad principles.

Like most online forums, it was humanity's digital septic tank, a playground for the obnoxious, the juvenile and the fakest of tough guys (and, rarely, gals). Insults flew like paper airplanes in detention. If commenters weren't putting down rival schools, they were trolling one another. Intelligent football discussions would occasionally initiate, but most threads turned ugly in a hurry.

Just to make sure we're doing it right, we should probably start an intelligent football discussion....

Chick's taken in case any of you boys forgot.

Wait, they met in the Comments section of an ESPN blog?  Thats even more ridiculous.  The comments section of any major digital publication makes Scoop seem placid, civil, and downright constructive.

What did you expect?  Save for one married Chick, it's pretty much a bunch of dudes hanging around here.

Oh... you said placid.

Is chick the only female on scoop? Besides that girl who was here for awhile with her confederate flag profile picture?

Chicos and Hoopaloop met here as well

There have been a few here and there, but y'all have run the rest of them off.

Sorry, boys, I'm not getting out of your clubhouse.

You ran off Jen, ani'a?  Pot meet Kettle

Quite the opposite.  As you recall, I inspired her to join.

ZFB has hooked up with several fellas after meating on Scoop

If you believe Chicos, he's met pretty much everybody. So this isn't that big of a deal.

Michael Dukakis' nephew is certainly someone to brag about having met.

Nope, never met you and hoping to keep it that way.  A few others here I've met, good dudes.

Wait a second... didn't the two of you live in the dorms together?

Now this is f#cking great! Well done

This thread touches all the bases already! (other than the football dscussion, of course)

Didn't you run her here and then run her off?   

One of the Scoop Hall of Fame moments.

If Jim Harbaugh hired Tanned Tommy as an assistant would the Big House be festooned with banners?
