Input: [Date] 6 weeks 18 hours ago [Body] Happy Father's Day everyone. We had to celebrate last night as my parents are picking my sister and brother-in-law up from the airport from their honeymoon. We got my dad a new gas grill. Basically we gave him money and he will be picking one out. But he desperately needs a new one. My wife got me (twins I have are too young still to really make anything than scribbles on paper) a basket filled with my favorite snacks, a few new books and a new Mud Hens shirt. [Title]

Output: Happy Father's Day everyone.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Congrats to him. This is the most excited I have been during a off season in a long time. Harbaugh has brought tons of excitement to the fanbase and program. [Title]

Output: Congrats to him. This is the

Output: Flying dog raging bitch


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I agree with this. Everything I have bought that is Adidas is larger than it should be. Granted I have not purchase a large amount of Adidas gear but I don't have this problem with Nike. My Nike sweatshirt fits perfectly whereas my Adidas is baggy. [Title]

Output: I agree with this. Everything


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] Smith's vision isn't any better [Body]

Output: and he may be the slowest RB I've ever seen in a Michigan uniform.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] That is not true [Body]

Output: Plenty of their fans also wear white the color of their other jersey. Our problem is we chose to have maize outs and we don't have maize jerseys.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Not to mention [Body]

Output: it is a hole. Concessions areas are filthy. Went to old Comiskey Park and threw my pants away when I got home because they were so dirty from sitting in my seat. Didn't care to much for MIS either. Won tickets and took the family to experience drunks, swearing, people wearing stuff they shouldn't. We were in turn 4 and couldn't see half the race.

Output: Maybe I should put the drink down.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Hate to think what it would have been [Body]

Output: Without all the ticket giveaways.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] DE vs. OG [Body]

Output: in a format that favors the D and Onwenu splits with him is definitely a win. Being under control is a big part of football. Tripping after taking a strong punch is not being under control.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I can't wait for Nike to do another ugly design [Body]

Output: WD you better be the first to jump down their sh*t. Recall the platinum series for basketball or Sparty dressed like Baylor. Maybe you already forgot TCU's new uniforms for this year that remind me of Zubaz with a player wearing the number 4G. http://www.si.com/college-football/2015/04/11/tcu-new-uniforms-horned-fr...

Output: not that you would want to as a junior, but we could still have a year of Rudock and two of Shane.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Disagree with you on Izzo [Body]

Output: Flint was a Michigan town before the Bball team went on probation. For that matter, Michigan got almost anyone they wanted in the state, but that all changed with the probation and then hiring Ellerbe. Izzo took advantage and built State into a very good program and has managed to keep them there. Without Michigan's fall into the abyss I have doubts that State's Bball program would be where it is now.

Output: he plays at a prep school, Huntington Prep in West Virginia.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Pop at the spring game [Body]

Output: was up a buck from last year to $7. That is $2 more than at a Piston game for the same size drink.

Output: Baylor? Don't forget the glorious Nike platinum basketball unis.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I must be in the 3% [Body]

Output: I personally can't stand anything Nike stands for. They did provide me with a lot of material for my ethics class.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] They were Saginaw High Trojans first [Body]

Output: Day Day regularly shows up at Woodley's football camp that he puts on at the High.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Got mine! [Body]

Output: Had non renewable for two seasons during the renovations. It will be nice to actually be a "real" season ticket holder now. Now I have to decide to take all three they offered or just two.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Bought tickets to PSU last year [Body]

Output: through the alumni association and my tickets were in Sec. 33 row 2.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Carl's Jr drive thru in Redondo Beach late night [Body]

Output: The car in front of me ordered 5 times and they couldn't get the order right inside. I could repeat it verbatim, but then again I speak english. At one point, I thought the guy ordering was going to pull the employee out the drive thru window.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Randolph stayed one year JRich 2 [Body]

Output: Most of Izzo's guys who have been successful in the pros have gotten away before he ruined them with DayDay being the exception.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 4 hours ago [Title] Down? [Body]

Output: He collected a nice hefty sum of money for mostly pitiful performance. He gets to take a year off before he finds his next gig. Man I wish I was down like that.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 4 days ago [Title] But but [Body]

Output: as long as you say it with an "a" instead of an "er" it's okay. Or so I'm told. I got real tired of hearing the word at a school I was teaching in and ask the students what would happen if I said the word and was told that they would get the principal because I was racist. So I showed the students pictures of a fight night party where my girlfriend and I were the only white people in attendance. Told them I had been called the word and asked them if I'm constantly hearing the word what would be the odds that it may one day slip out of mouth? I was trying to teach them that when people are constantly barraged by something they tend to become less sensitive about it. Combine that with the number of people who lack common sense or aren't all the bright and you could end up with some people who may not be racist using the word. It has gotten to the point where I have heard two white guys refer to each other with the word.

Output: the glorious Nike Platinum series? I can't stand Nike and have no problem with Adidas. All of the school companies put out their fair share of ugly junk.


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Makes drafting Ebron last year [Body]

Output: look even dumber. It is typical of the Lions though. I realize he gets double teamed a lot but 3 tackles and half a sack a game isn't all that impressive for the amount of money Suh makes. FWIW in one less year JJ Watt has 20 more sacks and 50 more tackles than Suh.

Input: [Date] 21 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Yea, the pay is actually [Body]

Output: Yea, the pay is actually incredibly low relative to the other professional sports. Obviously MMA is younger and less mainstream, but even Rousey will only get about $2mil for that fight without sponser dollars. That seems like a ton for 14sec, but that's months of training and she's one of the sport's biggest names. Its growing fast though, and she's paving the way for a whole new boatload of female fighters. Pretty awesome to witness for a fan of the sport!


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 10 min ago [Title] Yet another Vikes fan. I see [Body]

Output: Yet another Vikes fan. I see no way he wears a new uniform next season. Whether or not he wants to play for Minnesota or not, he knows where the paychecks are coming from. The trade return isn't going to be worth the player, and I can't see this organization making a deal with Dallas specifically for anything less than a solid haul of picks.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 5 hours ago [Title] In the non-call boat, I think [Body]

Output: In the non-call boat, I think it was 2010 when DeShawn Sims was hacked by State in what should have been a last second layup for the win at Crisler. I remember one of the refs got injured during the game and had to leave, so the view from behind Sims where he was being held down was just missed.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I hate this damn conference. [Body]

Output: I hate this damn conference. I don't care about the ease of schedule, I want to see Michigan play their rivals home and away and I want to see them in Assembly Hall. Is it selfish that I want my school to play other schools in our conference?


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Nothing to see here [Body]

Output: So late in the second half when I began to be more interested in people watching than the game itself, I noticed an awkward moment between Harbaugh and Desmond. Harbaugh stopped to talk to like 5 people on his way to the tunnel, just being courteous. Then he got to the tunnel, where Des was, and uncomfortably walked past him. Des even looked up, like how I would avoid an ex in high school. Just odd. Also, Jameis wouldn't even acknowledge the kids that wanted a picture, even the oddly placed kid in a FSU hat! Comeon mannn


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Airing of Grievances [Body]

Output: People that think something is wrong with offense in seemingly every sports just don't like defense, and I don't like them. Sometimes, things aren't broken - so don't fix them. Soccer is boring to me, so I don't watch it. They make a lot of money despite my decision. Baseball is exciting to me, so I watch it. If it bores you, don't. They will continue to make a lot of money, don't change my game. Charges are the most exciting call in college basketball, and I love Ted Valentine as a ref. I love MMA but the UFC is ruining it. What it did to this point pushed MMA into the main stream, and that's fantastic. However, they now are over-extending themselves and have too large a roster with too many events. Fighters aren't getting fights, and other organizations are dying. Reign it in for the sport. It frustrates me that NFL money isn't guaranteed. Baseball's salary model is the best in sports. The contract matters - when it's signed, it's done. If all sports could adopt this, they'd all be better for it. There will be another NFLPA strike soon and it will stem from how the NFL treated Adrian Peterson.

Output: Will someone make a post about that guy pooping already?!


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 4 days ago [Title] This is my favorite comment. [Body]

Output: This is my favorite comment.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Beilein definitely plays [Body]

Output: Beilein definitely plays favorites to guys who show willingness to be coached more. Normally, when they lack the starting/first off the bench talent, he molds them into defensive specialists and then let's them earn playing time from there. That's what I see MAAR as. Beilein likes him, he must show good stuff in practice, and will continue to use him defensively on a consistent basis. Hit a couple shots during that time and all of the sudden you're in, some I'm not worried about him!


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 1 day ago [Title] This. [Body]

Output: I feel like much of the hate comes from the ridiculous one-off uniforms and the yellow. Realistically, quality concerns are about the same across these 3 companies. If the AD doesn't want special unis, we don't get them. If they don't want highlighter yellow, we won't get it. Nike may have a patent on that specific shade of Maize, but they don't own every dulled shade of yellow. Basketball camps may be one legitimate argument, but that doesn't seem to cover the rest of the contract, imo.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I swear. Also, he was not [Body]

Output: I swear. Also, he was not wearing khakis. I repeat, NO KHAKIS.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Coach Harbaugh said good [Body]

Output: Coach Harbaugh said good morning to me outside of Crisler just now. Best day ever!


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Once he left the game he was [Body]

Output: Once he left the game he was swearing up a storm and hitting the chair next to him - with a smile, of course. Sounds silly, but it was awesome just to see him be a kid mad that he missed a couple big 3s. So proud to have him on this team for the next few years!


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 2 days ago [Title] With Minnesota, Indiana, [Body]

Output: With Minnesota, Indiana, Nebraska, and Illinois receiving votes (in that order). Basketball conferences, man.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Football perspective [Body]

Output: As a Vikings fan, I have to admit I was hoping he'd fight it. Now with the plea, I expect a couple game suspension and a nice fine, but he'll be back this year. I didn't want to see that for football reasons... I don't believe he'll be back next year for $ reasons, so I see it as more valuable to grow the rookie RB and QB without AD out there. Obviously a better team with him out there, but I believe this growth by fire has been working pretty well thus far

Output: My all time favorite, can't wait until that Friday. Hopefully Nik and Glenn do an MDen freebie too like Trey and Timmy did!


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Title] I stand corrected. [Body]

Output: I stand corrected.


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Title] Just about everything has [Body]

Output: Just about everything has been said between the 2 posts, but there's one more thing that really pissed me off about how it was handled. I was at the end of the preline, and ran back and forth between the 2 a few times much to my amusement (I was drunk, so what wanna fight about it?). When el presidente decided to make the 2nd line, she had the maize rage 'core' walk about 100 feet away from her, then she announced her line just began, and then the glob walked up behind her. Outside of her claiming she was going to give the people in the other line 'fake' numbers to trick them into thinking they would get a good spot in line, it was the most dick thing she could have done. The core made a mess, and the athletic department cleaned it up.

Output: I've never watched a more intense halftime performance. It was like MJ with the flu man

Output: Wow, never even considered this before you pointed it out. I'm a 3rd year ticket holder and that's an excellent point, every game so far this season I've been jammed into a row (not a big deal at all fwiw) and looking back at my first 2 years, I never experienced that. It would make the section look a lot better if it wasnt so compacted


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] This, this, this. [Body]

Output: I'd like to say that as a student...most students I know dont complain as much as the ones here (alright I'll just say it, they arent as bitchey). Of course being in that line isnt as fun as pregaming like before, but its not like you are just sitting looking at the floor. There's free food, phone charging stations, water and toilets. Theres a big ass tv to watch the early games and obviously you can bring in drinks (ooohh ahhhhh) and other stuff like that to make the time go by! Shit there's other humans too, talk to em. I got there around 10am and that time flew pretty quick.


Input: [Date] 1 year 49 weeks ago [Title] As well as Exhibit A for [Body]

Output: I love the Dont Mess with the Mitten shirts the fans are sportin lol


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] In games against Iowa, Wisconsin, and Penn St, we were down less than two touchdowns with plenty of time left. Ask Iowa if the game was "in the bag" when they were up a single score with 10 minutes to play. Or ask Wisconsin if the game was over holding a 10 point lead with over half of the 3rd quarter to play. Again, in many of the games, MSU, Iowa, Wisconsin, we had opportunities to score early, but were stopped by ourselves - as my earlier post mentions: Lewann penalties, Denard int's in the endzone etc. Very few defenses have stopped with any sustained success this season. Or really none for that matter. But you probably wanted to fire RR the moment he and Rita showed up in A2. [Title]

Output: You couldn't be more wrong


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] Against Iowa, our offense dominated all day. The only thing that stopped them was Taylor Lewann Penalties and turnovers. We out gained them easily though whether we were up or down. Against MSU we had at least two (maybe three) first half drives that should have ended in scores but did not - two picks and a missed field goal. Again, not exactly evidence that our offense struggled. Finally, against Wisconsin, Denard over threw an otherwise certain 65+ yard first half touchdown, but not because Wisconsin was too good defensively. I would say that we move the ball fine against any team any time, regardless of game score or clock. However, as a young team, we have displayed a remarkable affinity for drive-ending mistakes. The only team that stops Michigan's offense is Michigan's offense. [Title]

Output: I'll try this


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] We can not take pages from Notre Dame and Nebraska by firing our coaches every three years and not allowing them time to build a program. It would be one thing if RR had success with Carr's players and continued to do worse with each recruiting class, but clearly his worst year was year one and the progress our offense has made cannot be denied. As frustrating as the defense has been, the whole program will be set back another half decade if Brandon let's RR go and tries to bring in a new coach with a new system. The proof is there people, and the defense will come around. [Title]

Output: Do Not Blow Up This Offense


Input: [Date] 5 years 42 weeks ago [Body] I thought Forcier should have been in for the final drive strictly for his command of the 2 minute offense, but at the same time Denard earned a chance to play it out after his previous drive. No time for second guessing it now anyway. Besides, you never know on what snap he might just take it to the house. 5 turnovers in a two-score game is the story, but I don't feel bad about last nights loss at all. I think a tune-up game at home against Delaware St will get us back on track. [Title]

Output: On the Forcier/Denard thing


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] While watching on TV, it looked like the ball sailed right in front of Matthews' head. If he had been anticipating the pass, it would have been an easy reception. However, it looked like he didn't see the ball until it crossed his field of vision and by that time it was too late. That is just my opinion based on the angle of the play as captured by the TV camera's. [Title]

Output: Agreed


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Body] Was just on ESPN talking about the whole ordeal, and he might as well have been reading Brian's blog verbatim. It was good to see a former OSU player in front of the Columbus skyline saying positive things about Rodriguez and basically discrediting the whole story. Rosenberg = worse than OSU? [Title]

Output: Kirk Herbstreit


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Body] that is all about Rosenberg's clear disdain for RR. http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=982287 [Title]

Output: here's another link


Input: [Date] 6 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Check out this kid for a possible comparison. He was a true freshman at Colorado last fall, out of Columbus, OH, and ended up having some huge games for the Buffs. He's a tiny little 3-star back that got virtually no looks from anyone in the Big10, including OSU, despite growing up in the Bushole. He also ended up outplaying Darrell Scott, who was by most accounts, the number 1 RB recruit in the nation last year. No one knew who he was until he went wild on WVU in an early season game last year, but he definitely made a name for himself here in Colorado. [Title]

Output: Rodney Stewart (or Stuart)


Input: [Date] 6 years 10 weeks ago [Body] On the very last kickoff return, I half expected him to throw up a Heisman pose. [Title]

Output: Desmond?


Input: [Date] 6 years 11 weeks ago [Body] This is a great work. I thought this was one of the most interesting pieces I've read in a while. It definitely explains why I always feel like I'm in heart attack mode when any of my teams is up in the fourth with some time left; I've been trained to think that it is a losing equation. [Title]

Output: Awesome


Input: [Date] 6 years 15 weeks ago [Body] I have to keep telling my self that because I got admittedly too excited watching Tate hitting those passes. Is it September yet? because I am ready to wash off the stink of 3-9, and that kid looks like he has the talent to do it. Again, trying not to get overly pumped on a few highlights from a scrimmage, but I think it's safe to say we may have player at QB this year. That's gotta be worth a few extra wins (say Toledo and Northwestern) right there. [Title]

Output: Spring Game, it's the spring game!


Input: [Date] 6 years 15 weeks ago [Body] He'll add some much needed depth and leadership to the position. Although he hasn't played football at the college level, 4 years of Duke basketball probably thought him a thing or two about team work and poise. Hopefully he won't start because I'm anxious to see Tate go at it, but if he's an athlete and a competitor he should be an asset to the bench and the locker room. Tate seems like a confident kid, so I don't think this will bother him too much, but admittedly I don't know the kid personally to make that call. In any event, if we have the scholarship available to give away this season, I don't see the downside of using it for a single season. As long there isn't any internal strife over it, I think it will do more good than harm. Also, I'm a desperately optimistic UM fan, so I have to imagine it will work out. [Title]

Output: the upside...


Input: [Date] 6 years 18 weeks ago [Body] I know your tickets cost more, but don't forget it's the University's football team. If the student population were to petition successfully for a night game, I would say nuts to you old timer. Have another beer and try to stay up past halftime. If the fans from PSU, LSU, OSU, FLA (esp FLA) can handle a night game, there's no reason UM fans can't. Or is it some weird thing were people in Michigan have to work early on Sunday mornings? [Title]

Output: I know your tickets cost


Input: [Date] 6 years 18 weeks ago [Body] I've been going to Michigan games all my life, and I love certain aspects of the Big House (like no advertisements), but it tends to be pretty lifeless. Not just quiet, but sort of a dead calm, as if everyone is always waiting for the bottom to fall out or the earth to end. I have been to many other stadiums for ncaa games and nfl games, and the Big House is definitely more like a monastery than a rock concert. Now I understand you don't want actual rock music, but that should be the environment the stadium strives for: loud, raucous, excited and intimidating. It's kind of embarrassing to see 100,000 people so quiet and still sometimes, and nothing is worse than being told to "sit down" during a big play - No, you stand up!. Even Ryan Field (NW) is livelier than Michigan Stadium, and it only seats about 12 people + the band. I'm just saying we can do better, without getting tacky or classless about it. [Title]

Output: Some of the Comments are funny


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] says the home state of such great cities as Toledo, Youngstown, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. I'll give it to you, Columbus is a good cowtown by today's rustbelt standards in the midwest. But as someone who is a C-Bus native, I feel perfectly happy to rip the city, as I could not move away soon enough. And for the campaign, it probably would have generated more goodwill and less negativity had it just said something positive about OSU or referred directly to the 42-7 ass kicking we were handed in November. Instead, it was just a pure dig at one of the best Schools in the country, with one of the most prestigious football programs in the history of the game. Goodwill in a small market is one thing, but there was a lot of outrage among Michigan fans. By my estimation, it may still be have the largest living alumni base of any university in the nation - if that's no longer the case, it's still a shit load of influential people. All and all, not a good move, as proven by the fact that it is coming down asap. [Title]

Output: Yeah Douches...


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] Fact: I grew up in Columbus and feel that OSU fans are by and large assholes who focus on little more than OSU football. Fact: Not every Columbus resident is a football loving nut-job. Therefore, it is inaccurate of me to say that the whole city revolves around nothing more than football. However, it is also accurate for me to say that most of the people I know from that town are Buckeye football crazy and can be pretty ruthless if you don't fall in line. Therefore, I am speaking about my personal experience. My experience in Columbus may not be the universal, but what I found. Do you see how that works? I can make a judgment off an experience that I had, however, it may not be true all the time. That does not make my experience or opinions on the experience wrong. [Title]

Output: okay then let me try one more time for you...


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] that maybe casting a judgment over all Columbus area residents is probably inaccurate, but based on my experiences, I will believe what I stated previously. That's all. [Title]

Output: no, I am admitting


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] definitely the best in sports. a lot of my best friends are OSU fans, season ticket holders, psychopaths, etc. I mentioned the counter only because I have seen frequent references to that number from OSU fans on ESPN blogs, facebook pages, emails, or wherever. It was to illustrate how often the average OSU fan thinks specifically about one game: a lot. [Title]

Output: cherish the rivalry


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] that I'm 6'4" and weigh 245lbs (read, a very small individual). But that was kind of my point, people are going to run-off at the mouth under a veil of anonymity. The guy shouldn't be surprised to see a remark that is not entirely based on fact - it happens! [Title]

Output: did I mention


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] did my sweeping generalization of Columbus really offend you that much? Or surprise you rather that someone would do such a thing on an internet blog? Yeah I said it, and I meant it. Maybe it's not true, but I will believe it till the day I die based on what I know. Try not to get your panties in a bunch. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] but it's sort of the topic of the discussion here, thus I am focused on it for now. The rest of my day will probably be spent enjoying our blue skies and sixty degree days. Have fun in Come-blow-us, Ohio. [Title]

Output: I don't know if you've noticed


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] Thank you Bronxblue. The ad is not awful or offensive, just low brow, OSU style humor. [Title]

Output: "It seems sophomoric to me"


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] you spent one day in Denver, and one guy gave you some crap about the wings, and you scale that to a major city wide marketing campaign dogging the wings? Nope, sorry dude not the same as a lifetime of experience. Not the same at all. Yeah, people here hate the wings, but I have never seen an advertiser rip the wings in order to booster customer loyalty. People here probably wouldn't fall for that shit. Face it, Columbus is a one trick pony man. I'm sorry you made the poor life choice of moving there. Perhaps you would have been better off doing some crack. [Title]

Output: a day


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] a michigan fan? perhaps you've been lucky so far, but just give it some time. It really is unbelievable how they covet their football team. growing up there was pretty miserable, and that was during the cooper years - my last football season living in Columbus was 2000. [Title]

Output: are you openly


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] it's not so much an offensive ad, as much as it is a commentary on the city's fixation with the rivalry. For instance, I don't think I've ever seen a similar ad in here in Denver, say giving a cheers to Lane Kiffin and the Raiders for being so terrible. Especially in a season when the Broncos themselves weren't that good. Basically, most large cities are identified by more than a single sport or rivalry. In Columbus, that is not the case. You know they have a newspaper counter on the Dispatch website that counts the number of days since Michigan last beat OSU. Most OSU fans could probably tell you what that number is without having to check because they really care that much and think about it pretty much non-stop. But from the MM perspective, it was definitely smart advertising. [Title]

Output: to be clear


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] what part of my rant was ill-informed? Do you have better information on Columbus? Did you grow up there as a die-hard Michigan fan? As a 6 year old kid, did did adults tell you that Michigan sucked and about how this was OSU's year to beat the snot out of "that school up north?" Ill-informed? I don't think so. Perhaps better informed was what you meant to say. [Title]

Output: also


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] spelling lessons on the internet, thanks buddy! [Title]

Output: spelling lessons on the


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] in the shadow of the whore's shoe. went to high school down the road at upper arlington and my parents still live there. The worst time of the year is xmas, because that is the only time I have to go back. anymore stupid questions? [Title]

Output: born and raised


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] what a pathetic town columbus is. Over 1 million people in the metro area, and the life of every individual in the city revolves wholly around the football team. There is no culture, no class, and certainly nothing else to look forward to. They have to pick on Michigan right now because they no longer matter in the national scope after three straight bowl losses and a schlacking at USC. As someone who grew up in that toilet bowl excuse for a city, I can honestly say that no proper thinking person would allow themselves to live their by choice. However, Buckeyes probably find it hard out here in the real world, so they stick to their disgusting little bubble that we call columbus, and I used to have to call home. They are really the worst people in the world. [Title]

Output: This just shows


Input: [Date] 2 days 4 hours ago [Title] Hackett has literally been [Body]

Output: Hackett has literally been the best thing we could have wished for. He actually listened to the fans and was able to get harbaugh. Best offseason ever.


Input: [Date] 2 days 4 hours ago [Title] Obviously it remains to see [Body]

Output: Obviously it remains to see who wins in all of the recent trades. I am just happy they decided to make the deals as opposed to keeping everyone because the return wasn't what they wanted. Honestly I doubt price would have resigned in Detroit so better to get something for the future.


Input: [Date] 3 days 3 hours ago [Title] You are right. I was thinking [Body]

Output: You are right. I was thinking of the renovations in the late 90s to get a baseball franchise in town. Actually has been around a lot longer than I thought.


Input: [Date] 3 days 5 hours ago [Title] Totally agree. By far the [Body]

Output: Totally agree. By far the worst stadium I have ever been at. Not a surprise that they can't get fans in the seats. If I remember correctly it was built for the final four in the late 90s.


Input: [Date] 3 days 5 hours ago [Title] Depends on what year you [Body]

Output: Depends on what year you visited. I think in 2007 is when they finished the renovations to the north endzone. The sebo center is what it is called. Pretty nice on the inside. The stadium itself has a very small capacity but when there is a big name school in town it actually is pretty fun.


Input: [Date] 3 days 5 hours ago [Title] No way is that the worst. [Body]

Output: No way is that the worst. However I say this from a completely nostalgic point of view. I grew up (actually still live pretty close) to the stadium and have attended a lot of games there. I was glad when they didn't tear it down when 5/3rd was opened.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] Oh and drinking Big House [Body]

Output: Oh and drinking Big House Bourbon tonight.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] The summer between my [Body]

Output: The summer between my freshmen and sophomore year in college at BGSU a group of us stayed in town for the summer which turned out to be a blast. Work and then start drinking. Plenty of trips to the lake as well. That was a fun summer.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] No I wouldn't trade places. [Body]

Output: No I wouldn't trade places. The thought of being an underdog for the next few years is exciting just for the thought that we can beat osu and relish in the fact we beat them when they are at the top of the college football world. Plus fuck urban Meyer.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] I have heard good things [Body]

Output: I have heard good things about Not you fathers root beer. But that has been from people I don't consider having great taste in their choice of adult beverages. Is it worth it?


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] I would say I have a tie for [Body]

Output: I would say I have a tie for worst job. In high school I worked for Meijer a cart pusher. I only worked during the late fall through February and it happened to be a winter in which snow and ice were common. That sucked. I also did lawn care (weed control and fertilizer) for about 18 months. Summers outside for 9 hours a day is tough plus the guy was an asshole. He also owned a grass cutting company so he would throw us technicians on a crew to avoid paying us more ot than he should have.


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] Michigan footballRed [Body]

Output: Michigan football Red Wings Packers Michigan lacrosse and NCAA lacrosse Michigan hockey Michigan basketball Tigers


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] I think it depends on your [Body]

Output: I think it depends on your logins cable subscription. I would think fox sports one would be pretty generic on most cable packages.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] Apple TV. I have Apple TV and [Body]

Output: Apple TV. I have Apple TV and have cut all cable. I found I have to download the fox sports app on the iPad and then use AirPlay to mirror on the tv. I am using an AT&T login in the Toledo area.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] It was painful and I thought [Body]

Output: It was painful and I thought it couldn't be worse. Then The Horror happened and I realized it could be worse.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] This. I remember texting my [Body]

Output: This. I remember texting my buddy who was at the game and he wasn't even being an ass. He actually felt bad for me. That was my low point as a fan. Losing the national championship in hockey a few years back was slightly embarrassing as I was with a group of my parents friends and I yelled a lot of things at the tv. My mother should have washed my mouth out with soap.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] Only thing consistent is my [Body]

Output: Only thing consistent is my 47 brand Michigan hat. I wear it anytime I go out on an occasion that allows. The thing is destroyed the color is not even close to navy and the bill is torn all along the front. The wife has given up hope on replacing it.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Big house bourbon. Aye at the [Body]

Output: Big house bourbon. Aye at the chop house for the first time tonight. Steak was best I have ever. Sides were nothing special. Also had a knob creek on the rocks there, also a first for knob creek. I see why I cost more. Pretty smooth. Also ate at the jolly pumpkin and had the bam which wasn't something I would get again, too sour for me. I like something crisper.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Title] This is pretty cool. Going [Body]

Output: This is pretty cool. Going to have to pick one of these up.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Wife and I are traveling up [Body]

Output: Wife and I are traveling up for the day tomorrow. I have heard the parking is a bitch. If we get there in the late morning will I have trouble finding parking or should I just plan on being shuttled in?


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] It is unique it its flavor. [Body]

Output: It is unique it its flavor. This is my second bottle, first one was a few months back. Have to tried bulleits?


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Big house bourbon. Given its [Body]

Output: Big house bourbon. Given its great name it isn't terrible but not great. A slow burn on the backend.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Second. [Body]

Output: Second.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I am assuming you went to [Body]

Output: I am assuming you went to sfs. What class were you? I am '06.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] We thought we were better [Body]

Output: We thought we were better than we were. I went to Toledo Saint Francis de Sales. We have won two state titles, one in the 80's and the other in 2001. We were always above .500 but when I went there we were in the Toledo city league with all the public schools which we mostly cakewalks. When we would play central catholic, saint johns Jesuit or whitmer (technically Washington local not Toledo school district) we would typically lose. One problem is that we had a long time head coach, who was great, but became very complacent season to season. Recently the private schools created the TRAC with the better athletic schools in the area, we have since become terrible and get our ass kicked by almost everyone. Again we had a long time head coach that was a great coach but since he stepped down it has been difficult to fill the role. I think they are one their third or fourth head coach since 2007. Previously we had two in the previous two decades or something. Go Knights!


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Yes. Nebraska was a near [Body]

Output: Yes. Nebraska was a near perfect fit for the B1G. They seem to have a great fan base and from what I have heard a respectful fan base.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] Happy Father's Day everyone. [Body]

Output: Happy Father's Day everyone. We had to celebrate last night as my parents are picking my sister and brother-in-law up from the airport from their honeymoon. We got my dad a new gas grill. Basically we gave him money and he will be picking one out. But he desperately needs a new one. My wife got me (twins I have are too young still to really make anything than scribbles on paper) a basket filled with my favorite snacks, a few new books and a new Mud Hens shirt.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Congrats to him. This is the [Body]

Output: Congrats to him. This is the most excited I have been during a off season in a long time. Harbaugh has brought tons of excitement to the fanbase and program.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Flying dog raging bitch [Body]

Output: Flying dog raging bitch Belgian style ipa. Really like this beer a lot.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I agree with this. Everything [Body]

Output: I agree with this. Everything I have bought that is Adidas is larger than it should be. Granted I have not purchase a large amount of Adidas gear but I don't have this problem with Nike. My Nike sweatshirt fits perfectly whereas my Adidas is baggy.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Henson has an NFL start, too, [Body]

Output: Henson has an NFL start, too, and driesbach played some preseason games for Oakland.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Title] So more reps than any UofM QB [Body]

Output: So more reps than any UofM QB in the last 20 years... Except for Brady...and Henne... And Griese... And as we are talking talent eval and recruiting, you might add Gutierrez and mallet?


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Title] West Wing was a brilliant [Body]

Output: West Wing was a brilliant show, and in my opinion the best ever - hands down.


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 3 days ago [Title] That fact aside, this type of [Body]

Output: That fact aside, this type of thing is really nothing new. While I applaud the students at universities like Michigan for trying to be aware of real world problems, they have always tended to go a little overboard. I was there in the late 90's, and had several instances of protests busting into classes, open forums where the speakers were shouted down by chants instead of engaged in conversation, etc. I used to laugh at the similarities to the movie PCU every time I saw a young woman in a bandana screaming at me about the struggles of some third world nation while attending an elite university (most likely) thanks to her parent's corporate job or family money.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 2 days ago [Title] For some reason I always [Body]

Output: For some reason I always remember some kid on their team that the announcers kept calling "the human bruise" who spent the hole game diving around for loose balls. (or maybe he didn't, but in my memory that entire game was a highlight reel of threes and that kid diving into the stands and sliding around on his belly).


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I was planning on perfecting [Body]

Output: I was planning on perfecting it, but ended up working on a crossword puzzle instead.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] see below [Body]

Output: see below


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] My son running into my garage [Body]

Output: My son running into my garage is not a crime. Your son running into my garage is a crime. I would not call the police for the non crime of my son damaging my garage, I would call the police for the crime of your son damaging my garage. Also, did I miss the part of the story where one of the kids trashing the place was the son of the owner?


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] So if you and your buddies [Body]

Output: So if you and your buddies showed up at Treetops tomorrow and your room had all of the cabinets smashed, the walls had holes in them and the ceiling was ripped down you would just go about unpacking and starting your vacation, or would you immediately call the front desk to bitch and get another room? Who do you think is using these rooms while they are being repaired? How do you not think this is costing them business? How have you survived this long in our society believing that you can just pay to "make it whole" and move on from any incident that does not result in bodily harm?


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] If I came home and YOUR drunk [Body]

Output: If I came home and YOUR drunk kid had run his car into my house I would most certainly call the cops. You could show up with your checkbook if you like, but you, I , and your son would all be waiting for the police.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I should have moved on a half [Body]

Output: I should have moved on a half hour ago, but I feel somehow compelled to convince him he's being an idiot. I feel like I just met an 18 year old who still believes in Santa and it is somehow my moral obligation to tell him the truth. I have a problem.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Take a closer look at the [Body]

Output: Take a closer look at the pictures. First of all, there is a lot more damage than the hallway ceiling tiles, and even if there wasn't, there is probably a weeks worth of cleanup and repair there alone. There was also smashed cabinets and furniture, holes in walls, etc. and that is only what has been shown. There is weeks of downtime and tens of thousands of dollars in labor involved.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Wow, what bubble do you live [Body]

Output: Wow, what bubble do you live in? I realize that these kids are very unlikely to have any serious criminal consequences, but you realize that their actions were criminal in nature and that they could face prosecution, right?


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Good call. We should [Body]

Output: Good call. We should definitely get our views of civil society from an Al Pacino movie.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] You sure they couldn't just [Body]

Output: You sure they couldn't just get their parents to pay for the panties and write it off as "boys being boys?"


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I went to school with lots of [Body]

Output: I went to school with lots of kids who came from ridiculously wealthy families and I was neither jaded nor bitter towards any of them for that reason. I am pissy, however, towards destructive little punks tarnishing the image of Michigan.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] That was a serious crime, and [Body]

Output: That was a serious crime, and acting like simply paying for the damages makes everything OK is why people have that "stupid rich kid" opinion of fraternities in the first place. If you have seen the pictures that is well beyond breaking a lampshade while having a few drinks. It was willful and disrespectful destruction of a facility and personally I have a huge problem with college age kids being that arrogant and selfish and thinking throwing money at it is going to make it go away. MSU expelled students after the Cedar Village destuction and I think UofM should consider that here.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I understand the fear about [Body]

Output: I understand the fear about the returning QB's, but I think that too many people in our fanbase have become numb to the horror that is starting a true freshman QB. Even an elite caliber talent will struggle at times in that scenario. At a best case scenario you are looking at a freshman Henne type who looked like a deer in headlights in several losses that season. I am not ready to write off next season as a step to the future, so I would rather roll the dice on a kid with a year or two of college experience.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Definitely puts life in [Body]

Output: Definitely puts life in perspective. There are worse things than football losses, and better things than football wins.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 6 days ago [Title] "I know, I know. You're [Body]

Output: "I know, I know. You're probably wondering "what radical new direction will this knight errant take the hallowed Spartan program?" Well, let me tell you: every year Michigan State will jump out to a fast start by beating a bunch of awful nonconference teams. When they play at Notre Dame, they will win. Everyone will get all hyped up for the Michigan game, which they will lose. On the off chance they do not lose, they will arrange to lose to Indiana or Northwestern or some such team to restore the cosmic balance. After the Michigan game they will collapse wholesale. Sometimes they will go to a bowl in Detroit. Other times they will stay home and cry softly into their BEET MICHIGAN cardigans. They will never, ever go to the Rose Bowl, and every year MGoBlog will start its Michigan State preview the same way. Yes, friends, times are a-changin' in East Lansing." Holy cow. He was right, just had the wrong team.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 6 days ago [Title] They lost to UofM in those [Body]

Output: They lost to UofM in those years, though, so they are probably bad examples.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 6 days ago [Title] That 1990 team that beat #1 [Body]

Output: That 1990 team that beat #1 Michigan was 2-3-1 in their first 6 games (and that includes the win versus UofM)


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 6 days ago [Title] This wasn't meant to be a [Body]

Output: This wasn't meant to be a prediction post. I meant it more to point out how often the rankings can be thrown out in rivalry games. On the homer note, though, I never understood why people think it is some badge of honor to be a realist in sports. Being a fan of an athletic team is all about being a homer. You watch the news to be a realist... watch sports to root for your team. I always assume we are going to win until we don't. If I assume we are going to lose I should find something else to do with my time. If you want to be that guy in the corner with your arms crossed claiming you knew that we were goign to lose I suggest you take your ball and go home. That is off topic, though.


Input: [Date] 50 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Having played QB (only in [Body]

Output: Having played QB (only in H.S.) I can attest that having a struggling O line is a very difficult mental hurdle as well as physical hurdle. Even on plays where the line doesn't allow pressure, your internal clock and mechanics are already impaired by the relelntless beating you have taken on previous plays. My question with Gardner is will he be forever lacking that confidence and security ( a la David Carr, Ken O'Brien, Jeff George, Tim Couch - who all found themselves in the top 15 of the all time sacked in a season list before they were 25 years old), or will he be able to forget last year and start fresh. The difference between standing calmly in the pocket and stepping smoothly into a throw, and dropping back 60% sure someone is one step away from knocking your head off are two hugely different things. Statisticians count sacks and hurries, incompletions and completions, but it is hard to quantify that additional factor. I think he performed admirably last year under tough circumstances, but it might be tougher than people realize to recover completely.


Input: [Date] 1 year 7 weeks ago [Title] Mark's brother? [Body]

Output: Mark's brother?


Input: [Date] 1 year 11 weeks ago [Title] You can catch a minute of one [Body]

Output: You can catch a minute of one of his lectures in "answer this!" by the way.


Input: [Date] 1 year 11 weeks ago [Title] The works of Primo Levi with [Body]

Output: The works of Primo Levi with Ralph Williams. That guy is what I always thought a college professor should be.


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Title] The issue I take with the [Body]

Output: The issue I take with the term is that is somehow implies that everyone who cheers for MSU is an alum which is ridiculous. Having spent a few evenings passed out on some filthy couch in a cedar village apartment does not make you an alumni.


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Title] It isn't good enough to just [Body]

Output: It isn't good enough to just be there, though. Get something done while you are there. Make it worth it. Remind yourself how many kids would kill to be in you shoes and take advantae of your opportunity. Not just to get the degree, but experience the culture of campus, volunteer doing something worthy (I volunteered at Project SAFEhouse, the UofM emergency room, with a program at local elementary schools, etc. and probably got more out of that than anything I learned in a classroom), go to lectures and speeches, and make sure you leave in 4-5 years a better person than you are now. That is the trick.


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Title] Sean Higgins putback sticks [Body]

Output: Sean Higgins putback sticks in my mind. It is easy to look back on great runs like last year and 89 and forget that it takes a lot of little miracles to reach that level.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I'd like to hear this prediction [Body]

Output: from anyone who predicted 5-7 for 2014.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Thanks for the info. [Body]

Output: I would not have guessed that recently. I guess I really meant all upper classmen with starting experience to start the season. My guess is it's rare. (I'm too lazy to look these things up, and folks here know there stuff...)


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 2 days ago [Title] An O line full of upper classmen? [Body]

Output: What a rare luxury these days. When was the last time that was the case?


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Screw the SEC [Body]

Output: I hate them worse than I hate OSU. Now let's get back to where UM is beating Alabama. Go Ducks!


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Conway's Game of Life... [Body]

Output: Forgive me if I'm late to the party, but I see the elements in this gif. Nice job. The Harbaugh Puffer! Please post the seed.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Title] My favorite subversion [Body]

Output: I actually do undertand the original construction (ie: same either way), but my favorite subversion of that phrase is this: half of one, six dozen of the other. Heard on more than one occasion....


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 3 days ago [Title] The feeling is mutual.. [Body]

Output: Harbaugh on Carroll's USC team in 2007: "They may be the best team in the history of college football. My opinion." Before going on to beat them.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Reader Jeffrey's analysis is very smart. [Body]

Output: Reader Jeffrey's analysis is very smart. Academics and lawyers generally get a bad rap, but his insights are far more informative and calm-inducing than most of what has been written about this coaching search. More such content, please.


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Ding Dong! [Body]

Output: the witch is dead!


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Obviously, [Body]

Output: Hoke is a coach who obviously cannot motivate young men to execute football, and who obviously overuses certain adverbs to mask his obvious incompetence.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Question: Was the player who delivered that hit [Body]

Output: Question: Was the player who delivered that hit ever further disciplined? Sorry for not keeping tabs but, did the UM staff follow up with the BIG office on that? It looked like blatant targeting.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Upon reflection, Bass' injury heralded the beginning of the end. [Body]

Output: Upon reflection, Bass' injury heralded the beginning of the end. The "what might have been" (2006 MNC?), morphed into the near 10 year abyss. Yes, his loss looms that large for me.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Nice get! [Body]

Output: Nice get!


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 11 hours ago [Title] Cochran should be tossed [Body]

Output: by the Big Ten office--at least one game. Hoke should be tossed permanently. Complete embarassment of a program at this point.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 12 hours ago [Title] So true. [Body]

Output: So true, sad but true. How two OCs in a row cannot see this is amazing.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 12 hours ago [Title] Upvote for Mirror Pond Pale Ale [Body]

Output: Turned onto it when I lived in Eugene. Still buy it when I can find it.


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Not sure if it is apropos here but... [Body]

Output: To hell with Notre Dame! ( I knew it was...)


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 6 days ago [Title] So you're saying there's hope? [Body]

Output: I remember growing up my Dad would peg different schools as to their traditional position strengths. Pretty typical stuff--PSU:linebackers, USC:running backs, ND:assholes and UM:OL. My how times have changed. Still hopeful however...


Input: [Date] 50 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Is this prostitutor real? [Body]

Output: or is she some friend of Lennay?


Input: [Date] 50 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Agreed [Body]

Output: And the truly sad part is that once a brand starts to be marketed in a cheap manner, it is very difficut to reverse course and carve out the classy and unique image. For all the successes that people may see in Brandon's efforts, stunts like piped in music and clowniforms have cheapened the whole enterprise.


Input: [Date] 1 year 12 weeks ago [Title] Great Player [Body]

Output: He was always the X factor to me, the difference between the team being very good and great. Those inconsistent flashes of brilliance were/are coachable to more consistency. Sorry to see him go, but I'm ever more likely to start watching the NBA again.


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Title] Can the drones play in the secondary? [Body]

Output: Gotta imagine they'd be damn good ball hawks.


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Title] 77-65 good guys. [Body]

Output: I'm not buying that an SEC also-ran can hang with the BIG champs.


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Title] Pretty strong statement [Body]

Output: Considering that Two-Hearted is often voted one of if not the best IPAs (or any beer) in America by different industry publications. Founders is fine beer and to each their own of course but no one "blows Bells out of the water".


Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Title] Duck Fuke! [Body]

Output: I would have rather we beat them, but still wonderful.


Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Title] Show-cause? [Body]

Output: Didn't he leave Tenn with a show-cause penalty? (or whatever the proper term is).


Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Title] I appreciate the attempt to be balanced here. BUT [Body]

Output: There are clearly both environmental and genetic components. I would argue that there is not "a" genetic abnormality, but rather a very large suite of genotypes that can predispose toward autism. If it were "a" single allele (gene variant) then we would ahve found it by now. When you combine a very large number of predisposing gene variants with environmental effects that themselves may vary with genotype, you get things that are very hard to nail down, like autism, adult onset diabetes, multiple sclerosis and on and on. You are right that there well may be an immune system connection (overly simplified: growing up in too sterile of environments seems to be causing us all sorts of problems). That said, one envrionmental area that has been looked at extensively is the possible effect of vaccines. NO FLIPPING EVIDENCE AT ALL. NONE! It is not balanced to say that since it is complex and we do not know everything that everything is on the table. We have ruled out vaccines as causing autism. It is a deadly suggestion and not part of a balanced treatment.

Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Title] A good example of why I sometimes love this site. [Body]

Output: I would suggest a cultivar like rapeseed (B napus) for OSU. Not for the name, but for the fact that it is an allopolyploid (basically results from inbreeding the offspring of two things that have no business mating).


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Title] That was pretty spot on... [Body]

Output: Adidas makes us the highest paid team and if Nike doesn't come close we probably wouldn't switch. Nike is great and all, but an extra 5-7 million a year does carry weight.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Well [Body]

Output: I would guess unnecessary money to do so. Then you have the weather conditions. Even if a perfect day there would be some wind. Then how many fans would actually go. Would be a great idea though.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Anyone else get bugged [Body]

Output: By the fact she still gets players names wrong? I don't know how to post tweets but she posted a Picture of Lawrence Marshall and called him Lawrence Mitchell. Not the biggest deal in the world but figured this long in she would know them. She Is getting paid for this position I assume so it really is a bad look to not know the names of the players you were hired to work with.

Output: I got some taylormade rocketblades last year and I really enjoy them. They were a step up from what I had previously. http://www.carlsgolfland.com/taylormade-rocketbladez-hl-irons-on-sale They can be found anywhere from 250 to 350 for the set.

Input: [Date] 36 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Linehan [Body]

Output: I thought really knew this offense and knew stafford. There were plenty of bad games last year but I thought our biggest deficiency was a wr2. Adding golden was golden, but I think it would have been more beneficial with linehan's play calling. Our offense seems a little too vanilla this year and it surprises me. We went from a consistent top ten o to a bottom tier o. Matt stafford will not be Drew Bree's and this team won't be the saints. Let them/him use their tools.

Output: Team doesn't make any damn sense. Unless I missed it, jake butt has only played one offensive snap. Chris Clark will be decommitted by Tuesday. Cole by next week and the rest will follow. At least the new coach will get a fresh slate to start with I guess.

Output: You want fans to email these folk to say they are tired of losing. And call for coaches head? Brandon's? Chobani? This seems very excessive unless the goal is to have the coaching staff fired.

Never thought I would have a reason to follow the jags, but with the Michigan connection I will for the year. Henne really seems to go to the perfect team for him to start. First Miami and now Jacksonville. As long as they keep bortles in the wings like they said.

Input: [Date] 1 year 2 days ago [Title] Ok I have one question. [Body]

Output: If someone has already said something like this I apologize.... For all the RR backers who said he needed more time. I will completely agree he had some good ideas(victors walk, BBQ) and never got anything really close to a fair shake. But, honestly do you all forget how shitty it was to be a fan during his tenure? There were definitely high moments like denard and when we played notre dame, but we were getting blasted off the field each fall. Especially because of denard and our offense I was hoping for a fourth year; until his last two games. To just go into playing Ohio state and realizing you don't have a snowballs chance in hell is a pretty bad feeling as a fan. And you all know what happened we lost by 30 points. Then the bowl game we lost by 38. His team had quit, whatever backers he once had were gone, and josh groban happened. He provided us with 3 of the worst seasons in program history and people still somehow defend him. Hoke has his flaws and the jury is still definitely out on him, but he is by far better for this program than RR. 25-13 is far better than 15-22. Recruiting and lack of attrition has been far better. It was rich rods classes that are the reason we are hovering at 10 seniors per year. His highest ranked recruit didn't even make it on campus. So I guess the point of the rant was even though the backers can and probably will Ignore this. Just all I ask is you put yourself back into how you felt about him and this program November of 2010 compared to right now with hoke. If you honestly feel like we would be in better shape with rich rod then by all means carry on.

Input: [Date] 1 year 6 weeks ago [Title] No worries [Body]

Output: Being on my phone is playing a part in the size mostly. Right, giving away his shoes was probably no big deal. But today if manzeil gave even a high school recruit a tshirt to go to A & M; sports center would explode.


Input: [Date] 1 year 6 weeks ago [Title] So many [Body]

Output: Interesting parts to that article. The Big O committing a recruiting violation and the pistons wanting to build the franchise around a local college star.... Was a bit hard to read, but still a great look back at the type of guy he was. I don't know as much as I should about him, but don't see too many all Americans think about turning down the nba these days. Though the pay scale has definitely increased a few thousand percent.


Input: [Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Title] UTL 1 [Body]

Output: By far. My friends and I couldn't find anywhere to watch the end except for ricks of all places. The last few minutes there was no music, no one buying drinks, just everyone stationed around the tvs. The group cheer when Michigan scored to go ahead was the net with complete silence as Norte dame scored again. Just to watch denard roll out and hit gallon down the sideline you could feel the anticipation mounting. No one was making a sound. Then when denard threw the fade and round tree caught it, it was the loudest cheer I had ever heard not being at a stadium. Besides being at the stadium I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else than with all those people. To see a bar with that reputation have everything stop for the team was incredible.


Input: [Date] 1 year 10 weeks ago [Title] Well [Body]

Output: I hope we play the best against Norte dame. But your point is very true. This team needs to progress. If we have another repeat of last year then I am truly worried about this program.


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Title] I wish he could have stayed [Body]

Output: I have always been a burleson fan since he has been in Detroit. I think he could have been a great mentor to our younger guys and a plausible slot guy. I'm hoping those younger guys include either Watkins, lee, or Evans. Delmas on the other hand it was time to go. Often injured and never looked at the ball in the air. The "if only" picks will not be missed.


Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Title] That is due to [Body]

Output: The class only being 16 kids and rivals isn't as high on them as other sites. Espn has our class ranked higher as 9? Of the 16 are in the espn 300. Our class is filled with good kids who love Michigan. I'm not worried about a ranking after the last few classes being so big and no attraction from them.


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] To be honest, the team that scares me the most out of that bunch is Boise State. People tend to underestimate BSU, and they really are a solid football team. I still think last year's Boise St team was better though. I think I'd like a match up with Stanford much more than one with Kansas St. Just because if we're going to play in a BCS game, I want a top opponent to measure Michigan against. [Title]

Output: Fears


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Body] I can understand why the play stood as called, from a replay standpoint. But that was clearly a TD, and the official on the field got it wrong. He called him out of bounds without paying any attention to him knee being down. On the last play of the game, the Iowa defender was ALL over Roundtree, officials weren't even watching the fucking play. So I think Michigan got jobbed of a chance. But that being said, we still needed a 2-point conversion and overtime. Personally I believe Michigan didn't deserve to win, terrible play calling all day. Obviously Robinson has never heard of scrambling. [Title]

Output: Rapid Reaction

Input: [Date] 3 years 43 weeks ago [Body] It is very unlikely that an abscess would affect his play on the field at all, pre or post operation. It's just uncomfortable is all. [Title]

Output: Not hurting play


Input: [Date] 3 years 43 weeks ago [Body] My mindset for play calling has always been more on the aggressive side. Granted, I'm sure I wouldn't hold a coaching job very long. But to me, it makes sense to go for it on 4th and short almost every time when you're over the 50. Obvious exclusions would be kicking a game tying or winning field goal. And of course it's situational. But I just believe that your success rate will be higher when playing more aggressive in certain situations than conventional knowledge suggests. I have similar feelings against the use of the 'prevent defense.' (I'll save that rant for another time) [Title]

Output: 4th and Short


Input: [Date] 3 years 43 weeks ago [Body] Thanks for the interesting piece jamiemac. I find it a little scary to be favored in the Nebraska game specifically, but I am also weary about vegas favoring us at Iowa, at Illinois, and at Northwestern. Since we haven't played a single road game to this point, this truly doesn't make sense to me. We're all Michigan faithful here, and we've seen what has happened on the field and over the last several years. So wouldn't you all agree that it'd be smart to bet against Michigan in quite a few of these games? [Title]

Output: Wishing teams would over look us.

Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] It should also include, do you like the "you suck" chant on 4th and 1 and the other team is going for it..... You'd think the people running the Band would have enough sense to wait until we stop them. This season alone, the band has done "You Suck" on a 4th down conversion 3 or 4 times, for which the opposing team has converted on all of them (ignoring 4th and a miles). [Title]

Output: It should also include, do

Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Brian, I love your blogs, but your BlogPoll every week just dumbfounds me. I think you're trying too hard to go along with the norm (essentially repeating the AP poll). You're a blogger, have your own opinion. You know just as well as the rest of us that Michigan is NOT a top 25 team. This appears to be going down the same line as the Rich Rod era. Beat a couple of crappy team plus Notre Dame, get ranked, lose to Michigan St., and subsequently every other B1G team. Our play on the field does not justify our rank. The only improvement in the D I've seen from last year is that we've forced some turn overs. And if anything, our offense has taken a nice little step back. [Title]

Output: idk


Input: [Date] 3 years 47 weeks ago [Body] Come on man. Don't be one of the dull minded masses. Why does everyone give South Florida a free pass into the top 20? Why? Because they were handed a victory from a clearly overrated Notre Dame team? You drop Georgia out and put in South Florida at 18? Tell me, do you really believe South Florida would beat Georgia on the field? [Title]

Output: Really?

Input: [Date] 4 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Go blue. This is my senior year. I have been to ever basketball game for the last four years. This year’s team was amazing. Thank you guys for giving Michigan sports something to be PROUD off. They’ve played their asses off, hats of to this team. I could not be happier with the way this season ended. GO BLUE, and good luck in future seasons!!! [Title]

Output: Go Blue


Input: [Date] 4 years 26 weeks ago [Title] Shut. The. Fuck. Up. [Body]

Output: Seriously, nobody cares about your personal vendetta against the Free Press. This thread has may be 3 relevant responses to your post, none of which actually agree with you. The rest of them basically make fun of you. You're not going to change anyone's mind about the Free Press at this point, so why don't you just let it go. Or at the very least, can you go blog about this on your own site or something?


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Title] Chris Balas is a tool [Body]

Output: I would second this notion. His coaching search coverage was an absolute joke and even that's an understatement. I really felt like I got better coverage from ESPN than his "insider info".


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Title] And I have a feeling that if [Body]

Output: And I have a feeling that if the defense does get significantly better, you'll be one of the people here claiming that better defensive coaching had nothing to do with it and that it was all a result of an extra year in the system. It's no secret that Obi Ezeh couldn't figure out where to line up for 3 years. Even with Demens, we consistently saw him lining up too close to the DT and getting swallowed by an OL. We saw the defense constantly taking bad angles, missing lots of tackles partially due to poor technique, and not communicating coverages properly. I would argue that most of that has to do with poor coaching than youth. Over RR's tenure, we've unquestionably struggled to develop our defensive players (please don't bring up Mike Martin as a counterexample).


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Title] Not to bring back repressed [Body]

Output: Not to bring back repressed memories, but we probably would have landed Frost and Hart this class had RR stayed and both are 5 stars.

Output: +1 Does it support GameCenter?


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I still don't understand why [Body]

Output: I still don't understand why people like that show so much. It's not even really a debate show. They usually agree with each other, but just try to yell and talk over each other. Though I have to admit, there's nothing better on TV at that time so when I'm faking a sick day, I watch it too.

Output: Conference record. Signature wins. Stanford's admission standards for athletes. Yeah, you get the point.


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I would be interested to get [Body]

Output: I would be interested to get a comparison of how many possessions we got for these games. I would imagine they are higher than against the bad teams since the OSU/Wisconsin/Iowas scored on us more. That and what everyone else said... points.


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] people on here seem to think [Body]

Output: people on here seem to think RR is just dumb to not be able to beat teams who are having their best seasons in decades. No, we (known on MGoBlog as traitors?) think RR is a bad fit as a head football coach because he can't even field a team, in year 3, to COMPETE with the good Big 10 teams (minus Penn State at the moment). Wisconsin and Iowa would have been good a lot more often if Lloyd Carr's teams would have stunk as much as our current team does. I will admit that I expected a upper-middle of the pack Michigan team this year, but I also expected to put up a fight against the better teams. As Dave Brandon said, it's more than just about the wins and losses.


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Oh come on.. that was [Body]

Output: Oh come on.. that was actually funny. If more people vented like that, this would be a much better place.


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] He did not have a Michigan [Body]

Output: He did not have a Michigan offer, ever, as far as I know and I challenge you to show that he did. Didn't mean to imply in my reply that he had an offer. I thought that he was going to get an offer but never did once the Boren family turned on RR. FWIW Rivals also doesn't list a Michigan offer for Zach Boren. Also, that looks like a link to his profile on Scout. I couldn't find the article that claims that Justin Boren left Michigan because Zach Boren didn't get an offer.


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Do you have any concrete [Body]

Output: Do you have any concrete sources for stating that Boren left because Zach Boren didn't get an offer? I was under the impression that he was going to get offered soon before the whole Boren fiasco.

Output: Also, he interviewed for the J-E-T-S before they hired Rex Ryan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Harbaugh


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] The type of offense doesn't [Body]

Output: The type of offense doesn't determine how good a team is going to be or whether or not they have a "puncher's chance" to win. A pro style offense can score just as many points as a spread offense and can get athletes in space just as much, if needed. At the end of the day, as even RR has said many times, it's all about the players on the field and not necessarily about the scheme (and of course about the other 2 phases). Harbaugh is doing a great job at Stanford. But a spread team beat him, and is the best team in the conference. If the unthinkable happens, I will support whoever is the head coach, but I would really prefer a spread offense. That's a silly thing to say to try and strengthen your case. Stanford's talent level isn't even comparable to Oregon's. With the exception of Andrew Luck, I would take Oregon's 3rd stringers at almost every position over Stanford's first stringers. And if you want proof of the opposite, USC was able to dominate Oregon with a pro-style offense for many years. Pitt beat WVU in 2006 running a pro-style set. But that doesn't mean that either style is better or doesn't work.


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Have you been to a Stanford [Body]

Output: Have you been to a Stanford game at Palo Alto? Even in rivalry games, it's barely half full. I'm ALWAYS able to buy tickets when I get there and pick up almost any seats I want. That's why he would leave... nobody at Stanford truly cares about football. Also, if he resurrected Michigan football, he would almost become the next Bo and his massive ego has to love that. *Disclaimer - I'm a big Jim Harbaugh fan and actually even agreed with his anti-M comments when he made them (and yes I've read Brian's response to that).


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Agree on all counts. Stonum [Body]

Output: Agree on all counts. Stonum was carrying the team on his back for a lot of the second half with his returns as well as his catches. Overall, I was really happy to see the team fight back in the 2nd half. One more positive, RR decided to onside kick early in the 3rd quarter. Though we didn't get possession and looked totally uncoordinated, I liked the call.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Without a doubt.. Dick [Body]

Output: Without a doubt.. Dick (David) Chesney. The guy had the worst inferiority complex on campus, possibly because he went to State. He constantly felt the need to try and show people that he had a phd. He was also a total asshole. In EECS 281 in our semester, he took down lecture slides that were already online because some smart guy brought a camera to class and was taking pictures of his lectures (right in front of him, might I add). And he constantly threatened to fail seniors at 496 which was a total dick move IMO. Overall the worst and biggest douche of a professor I've had. I think I knew more than him back when I was in school.

Input: [Date] 4 years 46 weeks ago [Title] I wanted to know this as well [Body]

Output: I wanted to know this as well and couldn't find a good answer. Unfortunately, I don't have Big Ten Alternate, only the main one so it sounds like I'll have to catch the UMass game somewhere else... Ugh it's times like these that I wish I didn't have Comcast! Also, where are people seeing that ESPN has picked up the Bowling Green game? I checked the schedule on ESPN and it still does not have any updates about which channel the game will be broadcasted on.


Input: [Date] 4 years 46 weeks ago [Title] It's a little bit of a [Body]

Output: It's a little bit of a stretch to conclude that ND would have WON the game if Crist was in for all of the first half. You're assuming that the UM defense wouldn't have gotten a bit more familiar with Crist and that the UM offensive play-calling would have been the exact same regardless of the score. Though to be fair, if I was on your end, I would definitely tell myself the same thing.


Input: [Date] 4 years 46 weeks ago [Title] Actually, I saw him [Body]

Output: Actually, I saw him complaining on that one (in the 2nd half on a sweep to their left if I'm not mistaken) and I really didn't think he was held. I did catch Roh and Martin getting held on a couple of occasions, but I also saw our offensive linemen get away with a couple of holds so I thought it just evened out.

Output: #14 college bar?!? I can probably think of 14 college bars in the midwest alone that are better than Good Time Charley's. I mean I'm feeling the love, but that's asking for the site's credibility to be questioned. I guess I'll add that to my list of Michigan things to brag about.

Output: Is it normal for me to feel like crying?


Input: [Date] 4 years 51 weeks ago [Title] Logic Schlogic [Body]

Output: Get out of here Irish with that logic nonsense... Michigan didn't get him because we didn't want him or because of negative recruiting. Not because of Iowa being a decent place for a kid to go to school or because of the possible risk of RR getting fired in the middle of a recruit's college career. Nope.. it's definitely negative recruiting.

Output: We need a dedicated QB coach, I couldn't agree more. What about Todd Collins he was basically a QB coach for 15 years in the NFL.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Honestly 2008 [Body]

Output: I remember after that Wisconsin game we played so bad in the first half but completely turned it around in the second half then looked great in the first haf against Illinois the next week at that time I really thought we had a very good chance at winning the big ten. Of course then the second half happened. Only real hope for this year is that the big ten is so bad that somehow we are even a 7 point favorite over Minny. I do think we have more talent now, but I just don't see that talent being developed. I guess if maybe we could start converting some 3rd downs, stop shooting ourselves in the foot whenever we get a good drive going and if we stop turning the ball over so much, who knows...


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 2 days ago [Title] ESPN [Body]

Output: Of course they put something out like this they don't want people watching this game they want them watching 1 of the 2 games on ESPN or ABC. ESPN has become such a joke with all sports not just college football. There was a time where they would cover all games and break down upcoming matchups. Now it is all about whatever is the latest buzz, be it Labron, Manzell, Tebow........

Output: I would go with Crisler, Denard, 2010 O, 97 D, and 85 sched. I just think it would be pretty awsome to see Denard running an offense designed by Crisler. Just think Crisler is one of the most original/forward thinking coaches/football minds that ever was and man what he could do with someone of Denard's talents. I go with the 2010 offense because of Denard and closest thing to the single wing for Crisler to work with. The 97 D is just too damn good to say no too, plus that would enable Chuck to have some plays on offense. That leaves me $4 so I guess I go with the 85 sched.


Input: [Date] 1 year 10 weeks ago [Title] All mountain ski [Body]

Output: Go with a solid all mountain ski. I have been west to ski many times sometimes with lots of powder sometimes with none. You may get 1 maybe 2 powder days out of a week, and normally the all mountain ski will do the job. If you take say a helicopter skiing trip they rent powder ski's that you can use.

Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Title] F'n great [Body]

Output: I live in Boston and I think what he said was just great and should be praised. Think about it "this is our FUCKING city and NO one is going to dictate our freedum!" I think that is one of the best things I have ever heard. This whole week showed what America is made of these pieces of shit can think they can change us and hurt our lifes but all they do us make us stronger. Just look at the people of Boston who were willing to give thier houses to complete strangers, look at the 1st responders and those running TOWARDS the explosians to save lifes. It is those people that makes me happy that I served my country in the Navy. We will never forget the victoms of this horrible act but we will also remember those who saved many lifes and eventually found those guilty. One thing this week did was make me even more proud to be an American. Go Blue!!!!!!!

Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Great post [Body]

Output: Would be nice to turn all those stats into a T-shirt so I wouldn't have to argue with people about Denard. Problem would be it would probably take 2 or 3 T-shirts to get all his accomplishments on the shirts. I for one am going to miss him once he is gone, we may never see another dynamic QB like him again at Michigan or any other school for that matter. I am just going to enjoy watching him for another hopefully 7 games. I look at what John Bacon said about him that in his time watching Michigan football there have been 4 signature athletes AC, Desmond, Woodson, and Denard. People need to realize how great it is to be able to watch and cheer for a player with the passion, love, commentment, drive, personality, ... I could go on. Enjoy it while it lasts you may never see it again in your life. Go Blue!!!


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Another one [Body]

Input: [Date] 3 years 9 weeks ago [Title] Just be carefull [Body]

Output: I think a lot of these standing room only seats are the ones in the endzones where you are standing with a ton of others on a flat surface so seeing the game will be effy at best. That basically means you are forced to watch the big screen or TVs inside the area. I know I saw something about this when the staduim was just opened so I would do some research before buying those standing room seats. GO BLUE!


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Title] First Lacrosse game [Body]

Output: Bunch of us went to the game today. Thought they looked good other then that 5 minutes or so when Harvard scored those 5 goals. It was nice to sing The Victors though. Crowd was about 75% Michigan. I hope the team can make it a normal thing to come out and play at Harvard.


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Title] Osbourne [Body]

Output: I remember in 94 when Nebraska was #1 and PSU was #2 going into their bowl games Osbourne saying that it did not matter what each team did in the bowl game as long as the #1 team wins their bowl they should stay number 1. Then 3 short years latter, Michigan is #1 and NU #2 going into their bowl games and Osbourne says that they need to take into effect what each team does in the bowl game to determine who is number 1. Also I remember reading about how NU said it was important to beat Colorado by a better score then Michigan to prove they were the better team. Well that didn't quite work out for them.

Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Maybe no precedent [Body]

Output: But he punched someone and twisted a defensless and already tackled players helmet. What this says to me is if you punch someone it is a one game suspension then you get all your other punches or personal fouls for free with no punishment. He should have gotten at least 2 games for what he did.
