Input: [Date] 10 hours 11 min ago [Title] Just Wow... [Body]

Output: “I knew a lot of people in the band were gay and they knew I wasn’t being serious,” Cominski said. “If I were writing to a broader audience or anyone other than a few close friends I would be horrified by those words.” - in reference to the homophobic stylings of their Nebraska parody See, there's little reason to believe this contrition is genuine. You should be horrified by these words regardless really, and yet that quote is from the person who wrote the song. You have to wonder if indeed he ever really asked them if they were offended. If he had and they said "yes", would it have altered his thinking as to the wisdom of publishing this "song"? I somehow find it difficult to believe that it would. The whole article....wow....just wow. There aren't words to sufficiently describe that level of utter depravity.


Input: [Date] 10 hours 25 min ago [Title] Windows 10... [Body]

Output: I actually found out - minutes before I was about to download it - that if I wanted to do anything work-related on my machine, Windows 10 support currently exists nowhere in our corporate IT structure. That is to say, it wouldn't even let me login remotely if I downloaded it. I did manage to update the laptop that is exclusively non-work at least - it hosed a few drivers though, so I'll have to work on that this weekend maybe, but otherwise not too bad. Hell, this one machine I am on now is running 8.1 and SAP seems to HATE Windows 8.1...we're a couple systems behind here.


Input: [Date] 10 hours 29 min ago [Title] Sounds Official Now... [Body]

Output: David Price has been traded to Blue Jays pending medicals and approvals LHP Daniel Norris is the headliner going other way @JonHeymanCBS 1st — Jim Bowden (@JimBowden_ESPN) July 30, 2015


Input: [Date] 10 hours 34 min ago [Title] They Still Likely Win... [Body]

Output: I would imagine that they still could beat Virginia Tech even with one hand sort of restrained but perhaps not completely tied behind their back. It does not help Virginia Tech's cause that Beamerball has now become so advanced in its evolution that it has transcended the need to actually score points, at least in regulation. Sadly for them, conventional wisdom regarding football demands that winning point totals should normally be expressed in whole positive integers.


Input: [Date] 11 hours 31 min ago [Title] Just Did That... [Body]

Output: I just gave about half a bag of old Michigan tees - some of them years old - to Easter Seals in the latest of the Purges Of Crap (as my wife calls them) happening around my house, the main focus being to not have 2500 sq. ft. of stuff in a 1500 sq. ft. home. No qualms about donating those as most of them no longer fit but there's always someone out there that can wear them and hopefully will do so. The more Michigan shirts out there, the better.


Input: [Date] 12 hours 7 min ago [Title] About That... [Body]

Output: I thought it was a pretty neat little survey, but I thought about this vry thing last night. It would be fun - if there was a way to feasibly do this - to get the same survey on the fan blogs of, say, 25-30 different Division I schools scattered across conferences and the country and compare it. I would think there could be some fascinating differences.


Input: [Date] 15 hours 44 min ago [Title] To Be Fair... [Body]

Output: To be fair, it is petty fascinating to see the array of services you can actually get through Twitter and usually faster than using, say, 800 numbers. We've used it at work to get IT help with some of our systems and we have had people report outages and other trouble to the corporate account and get help faster than through traditional channels. It's a pretty cool way to get spot assistance if you need it and most corporate accounts are manned during all the but the small hours (save for critical stuff, where you can get 24/7 help in some cases).


Input: [Date] 1 day 1 hour ago [Title] Very Nice... [Body]

Output: Always glad to see Wolverines getting a shot at the next level. I know he was at Houston's camp in May, but hopefully this evolves into something good for Taylor. Good luck and congratulations to him.


Input: [Date] 1 day 4 hours ago [Title] Near Grand Rapids... [Body]

Output: I had a pretty good experience and some great beer at White Flame in Hudsonville - that's actually not terribly far from Grand Rapids either, if you're concerned about an extensive amount of travel in the state and want to stay relatively local. Their oatmeal stout - Ugly Stick - was rather good, I thought.


Input: [Date] 1 day 5 hours ago [Title] Right Call... [Body]

Output: Like others, I was kind of beginning to worry that they would go out and try something brash like buy or worse, stand with what they had - that would have been the worst thing they could have done, in my opinion. Selling is definitely the right thing to do, although now they have to try to cobble something together in the next day and a half or so, most likely involving Price, I would think. Stranger things have happened in baseball, of course.


Input: [Date] 1 day 6 hours ago [Title] In The Coming Weeks... [Body]

Output: In the coming weeks, I think we might need to have some sort of open forum for other marsupials on the board - bandicoots, wallabies, possums, wombats....and so on - so we can talk about a formal policy for the treatment of this particular infraclass of mammals to prevent any tension. Let the mods know if there is interest - we can set that up.


Input: [Date] 1 day 9 hours ago [Title] As I Recall... [Body]

Output: As I recall, David Bennett is now a high school athletic director. With any luck, he hasn't had an occasion to break out that story yet because as hilarious as that press conference became, I can only imagine some parent asking the superintendent, "Ummm....is he alright? Does he really need a new screen door and this is just a poetic way of saying it?"


Input: [Date] 1 day 9 hours ago [Title] This Right Here... [Body]

Output: The single biggest disadvantage to ESPN3 might just be this. Although by contract in most cases ABC / ESPN gets the first cut, that seems like it is strictly for the main network, with the conference networks picking second. It probably falls off quickly from there in terms of game watchability most weeks, but of course this depends much on your own fandom. I've had the ESPN3 feed up during games - they do sometimes air the out-of-region stuff from the main telecast depending on your location.


Input: [Date] 1 day 10 hours ago [Title] Questions Answered... [Body]

Output: I've got two kids - 9 (daughter) and 8 (son) years old. My son has shown a lot more interest in baseball than anything else, so while I am guessing my might be relieved of really having to make that call about football at all if that trend continues, if he asked to try it out, I personally wouldn't object but I would want him to go into it understanding the risks inasmcuh as possible. Would I actively encourage it and nudge him in that direction? No - my father was a defensive end and his knees and back are chronic problems for him, so I don't need to go very far as to show him why I wouldn't actively encourage it.


Input: [Date] 1 day 12 hours ago [Title] Kraft's Statement.... [Body]

Output: NBCSports has Robert Kraft's statement here - LINK I have come to the conclusion that this was never about doing what was fair and just. Back in May, I had to make a difficult decision that I now regret. I tried to do what I thought was right. I chose not to take legal action. I wanted to return the focus to football. Nice little dig in the opener of this quote, I thought. This is in a portion of the statement where he explains that the reason he did not take action then was in the hope that the appeal would illustrate the silliness of all this. I wouldn't expect Kraft to take another position than this, of course, but there are other shots within it that don't quite conceal genuine anger from how it reads. I heard that stealing Mentos from the party store is a lifetime ban in Goodell's world too.


Input: [Date] 1 day 16 hours ago [Title] From Here... [Body]

Output: I want to say that Hackett has already done the single most important thing, and that is helping to lay down the foundation for what should hopefully be some great times ahead, and not just for football necessarily. More broadly than football (though the Harbaugh hire should not and will never be overlooked in terms of its importance), he has helped to reform the culture of the athletic department, giving it a considered and logical direction. Most anything Hackett does from here seems like it would be a bonus.


Input: [Date] 2 days 3 hours ago [Title] Not Really A Caption... [Body]

Output: It's not really a cpation per se, but looking at the photo, this doesn't really work unless Urban Meyer starts belting out "88 Lines About 44 Women" in the background. If he did this, I want to see the Vine at the very least....also, the Vine of reactions to him doing it.


Input: [Date] 2 days 5 hours ago [Title] Just Unfathomable... [Body]

Output: I like that the NFL has priorities - backwards, nonsensical ones, but priorities all the same. Clearly, mischief with the game balls is as serious...actually moreso than assaulting other human beings in the mind of Roger Goodell and how dare Tom Brady do something so dastardly to undermine the character and integrity of the game and those who play it. Actually, I hope "....and by the way, fuck Goodell" is now an appropriate way to close meetings, parties and other sorts of gatherings.


Input: [Date] 2 days 5 hours ago [Title] Bucket List Item... [Body]

Output: At the very least, it's another item to scratch off the football bucket list for me potentially - Army is the only service academy that I have not seen play in person actually, so there's that. I actually had not seen Air Force play in person until we played them, come to think of it. Like others have said, barring massive improvement on their part, this one is probably a cupcake, but I would take this over MAC or FCS opponents in the OOC schedule.


Input: [Date] 2 days 6 hours ago [Title] For Me Anyway... [Body]

Output: The road trip game for me this year (I haven't been able to do this for a few years because life and associated things) is going to be Indiana, primarily because that's he only Big Ten venue I've never been to, oddly enough (other than Rutgers - I saw a Maryland game when they were still in the ACC years ago, so I count it...sort of). I missed a chance due to a family emergency several years ago and just never got back to it.


Input: [Date] 2 days 6 hours ago [Title] If I Could... [Body]

Output: If I could, I would make it blog policy that any child whose first word is verified to be "Harbaugh" should probably be given automatic trusted user status as soon as they are able to have an MGoBlog account (whenever their parents decide that is, of course).


Input: [Date] 2 days 6 hours ago [Title] Fastest Car... [Body]

Output: The fastest car I have ever owned was the one I sadly I had to give up about 10 months ago because I didn't want to do the necessary engine rebuild - the police interceptor version of the Impala. It had that V8 they had to shoehorn in there, but it was pretty fast and turned flat and beautiful. The fastest one I've ever driven is my dad's 1968 Firebird, which I keep telling him I plan to sticker at the estate sale as "give to me".


Input: [Date] 23 hours 56 min ago [Title] You're saying the NFL was [Body]

Output: You're saying the NFL was offered a spreadsheet conveniently put together by Brady's agents, on which they'd have to take the agents' word it was complete and accurate, and in order to find out what was on Brady's cell phone, they could instead track down multiple other cell phones and check off items on the spreadsheet? And that's a perfectly reasonable alternative to just spending 10 minutes scrolling through Brady's phone? Sorry, defending that approach is a stretch beyond stretches. All this fuck-Goodell outrage pretty much ignores the fact that Brady basically just broke into the Watergate hotel.


Input: [Date] 1 day 15 hours ago [Title] I hate your idea of suing [Body]

Output: I hate your idea of suing because I don't want to sit here for three years watching some godawful lawsuit wend its way through the courts while ESPN breathlessly reports on every stupid motion and argument and filing in existence. I just upvoted for the Few Good Men reference.


Input: [Date] 1 day 15 hours ago [Title] Yes, they can, but from the [Body]

Output: Yes, they can, but from the phone company, which would probably never give them up short of anything but a legal subpoena. To the NFL, they're as unrecoverable as if I called up AT&T and said, hey, give me so-and-so's stored-up text messages.


Input: [Date] 1 day 19 hours ago [Title] Today in Awkwardly Worded [Body]

Output: Today in Awkwardly Worded Headlines: it's good to know Tuskegee has finally gotten out from the oppressive shadow that is Dennis Norfleet.


Input: [Date] 2 days 18 hours ago [Title] Nay to Vanderbilt. Doesn't [Body]

Output: Nay to Vanderbilt. Doesn't pass the saltwater test. Close but no cigar, they're closer to Mobile Bay than to Lake Michigan. If you're closer to salt water than to a Great Lake, no Big Ten for you. That rule if actually enacted would've saved the Big Ten a lot of trouble.


Input: [Date] 3 days 7 hours ago [Title] Where have you been the last [Body]

Output: Where have you been the last 60 or 70 years?


Input: [Date] 5 days 16 hours ago [Title] How did we get this far into [Body]

Output: How did we get this far into the discussion and not mention the impact of Dave Brandon Junior on this whole thing? Sounds to me like Saban to Texas could've been done quite easily until Patterson pissed off his agent.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] My all-time favorite band, [Body]

Output: My all-time favorite band, playing one of their very best songs:


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] And in most cases that's a [Body]

Output: And in most cases that's a good thing. Here, maybe not, I just really like the very chill vibe of the studio version, but Billy Preston is killing it anyway and the whole band is as '70s as '70s can be, so hey.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] TMNT while it was on, then [Body]

Output: TMNT while it was on, then Animaniacs. Definitely some Animaniacs.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] I like the non-live version [Body]

Output: I like the non-live version of this song better than live, it's a bit more laid-back, but the OP said live, so I'll be obliging.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] I like this game. It's a [Body]

Output: I like this game. It's a great deal more memorable than pretty much any other game that year. Hell of a lot more interesting than your basic run of the mill 24-10 win.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] There's an xkcd for [Body]

Output: There's an xkcd for that: http://www.xkcd.com/1235/


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] If you like the Garcia page, [Body]

Output: If you like the Garcia page, also read up on Operation Mincemeat. In general the whole story of intelligence during WWII is fascinating. The Brits absolutely ran circles around the Germans throughout the whole war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mincemeat


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki [Body]

Output: Fking grammar Nazis.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] Amazon's a retail company [Body]

Output: Amazon's a retail company like any other retail company. Which means they hype up sales to try and generate, you know, sales. Probably 100 years ago Sears or Montgomery Ward or Hudson's would have these big posters up advertising a sale and people would walk out going, "I say, old bean, that was a dilly of a letdown." Why anyone expects Amazon to be magically different because it's an Internet company and start selling $50 TVs is beyond me.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] The change from calling it [Body]

Output: The change from calling it Big Jim's is a really recent development, so I don't know all that much about it.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] Nobody from UVA ever said UVA [Body]

Output: Nobody from UVA ever said UVA had the "largest mall in the country." Just the only one that's a World Heritage Site.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] The interesting thing to me [Body]

Output: The interesting thing to me about the Craig Ross blurb is this: Ross said he wished Franklin and Leach threw the ball more (and better) - which is basically RR's offense. Thus the highly ironic and idiotic nature of whatever boogeymen were out there during the RR era, pining for the good old days. Ever since Bo left, the offense we've run that bears the absolute least resemblance to Bo's offense..... is Lloyd Carr's! Lloyd's model was to find a bazooka statue and have him either give to the RB or shoot off rockets. I figure this is partly because Harbaugh showed what could be done with a QB with passing skills, and that combined with that being the direction the world was moving anyway, convinced Bo's successors to go find strong-armed QBs. Thus, Grbac, Navarre, Henne, etc. Bo's offense would've had little use for John Navarre; RR would never have recruited him.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 19 hours ago [Title] I gotta admit....Pluto is a [Body]

Output: I gotta admit....Pluto is a cool-looking ball of rock. I did kinda think maybe it could be re-planetized. But putting Pluto back in the planet category is kind of like adding Rutgers to the Big Ten. Sure, Scarlet Knights is a cool nickname, and Rutgers was great back in the day....way back in the day. But they don't bring anything and they mess up the symmetry and if you think Rutgers is worthy of being in the Big Ten then why not dozens of other programs? Besides, neat as Pluto looks, there are some moons in this solar system that look way cooler. If that's the only criterion I propose Callisto as a planet. It hasn't managed to get rid of Jupiter from its orbit around the sun, but I don't know how you could turn down a giant floating disco ball.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] Grounds grounds grounds [Body]

Output: Grounds grounds grounds grounds grounds. It's not a campus. Or, it's a campus that's called grounds.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 23 hours ago [Title] May I humbly suggest you take [Body]

Output: May I humbly suggest you take an hour or two and walk around the UVA grounds. It really is worth the experience. I don't think they'd be doing tours in the summer, but you never know. Also, Monticello isn't the only presidential mansion in the area; someone mentioned Montpelier which is maybe 30 minutes away, and Ash Lawn-Highland is the house of James Monroe and right next door to Monticello. Actually there are two former houses belonging to Monroe in the area; one is smack in the middle of the UVA grounds.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I'm not letting Brandon off [Body]

Output: I'm not letting Brandon off the hook for hiring a coach that required an expensive firing. He made the choice and he signed the contracts.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] And yet Dave Brandon left [Body]

Output: And yet Dave Brandon left behind a deficit.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Yep....Martin is actually one [Body]

Output: Yep....Martin is actually one of the hardy souls racing the Supermac, a once-a-decade-or-so race from Chicago to Port Huron (or vice versa, depending.) Over 500 miles, and then Stripes will turn around and do the regular Port Huron race.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Title] If everything comes to [Body]

Output: If everything comes to fruition - never a safe assumption but things do seem to be rolling - the whole thing will work out brilliantly, I think. That's a huge empty space separating Midtown and downtown. The project as designed would be a huge, huge link, not to mention bringing very badly needed residential development to an area absolutely screaming for it. I don't know about the JLA site development, it sounded like a lot of wishful thinking, but it'd be great if they actually did build a 30-story skyscraper there, especially if that too was part residential.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Let's be clear: The new Wings [Body]

Output: Let's be clear: The new Wings arena isn't being financed with public money in the same sense these other stadiums generally are. I outlined this in another thread, but the "public portion" of the Wings arena is Downtown Development Authority money. DDA money is required by state law to be spent on economic development downtown. The DDA is financed by property taxes - but only that portion of property tax above the property's assessment prior to inclusion in the DDA. In other words, a parcel's taxable value before inclusion was X, when it was included it became X+Y, and Y is taken by the DDA to support downtown economic development - which again, by state law, is the only allowable purpose. X continues to go to the city for police and streetlights and whatever. This is why the DDA is called quasi-public. It's basically a homeowner's association for downtown businesses. And the DDA, by the way, will own the arena. This is a far cry different from the usual public funding mechanisms. The DDA exists precisely to fund things like this. And Oliver is not being honest by not noting the difference.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Frankly, in the case of this [Body]

Output: Frankly, in the case of this project, people who hate public funding of stadiums should be cheering the new Wings arena up and down the block. The bonds issued to pay for this thing are being paid back by the Ilitches and the DDA - NOT "Detroit taxpayers" which seems to be what fronts all the headlines. The Downtown Development Authority is more akin to a homeowners' association than anything, except its members are downtown businesses, and it's them who will pick up half the tab. It is most emphatically not being paid for by city residents. The DDA is funded by property taxes paid by downtown businesses, but only that portion of property tax above and beyond the value that the property would be assessed at if it wasn't in the DDA. And since state law requires that money go to economic development in the area, the arena is a more than logical use of the funds. Oh, and the DDA will own the arena, not the Ilitches.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Old proverb-like substance [Body]

Output: Old proverb-like substance says you can have a product three ways: good, fast, or cheap, but you can only get two of the three. Little Caesar's is the only pizza place where you can get fast and cheap. I don't care if it's not gourmet. It's still a hell of a deal.


Input: [Date] 6 years 7 weeks ago [Body] How insightful. [Title]

Output: How insightful.


Input: [Date] 6 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Well, he CAN, but something tells me that he'd have to prove something to Beilein/the team before he did again. He did quit. Also, he'd have to change his playing style (ie, he'd need to play defense), which is something he seemed somewhat reluctant to do last year. [Title]

Output: Well, he CAN, but something


Input: [Date] 6 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Well, there is a difference between saying "Lauranitis wasn't all that" and "Lauranitis is garbage". He wasn't one of the 5 best LB's in college football, which is the way he was treated. He was perfectly good, and he would have been Michigan's best LB by a long shot last year. I think they'll have a hard time find a replacement that will play to the same level starting next year. [Title]

Output: Well, there is a difference

Output: agreed.


Input: [Date] 6 years 8 weeks ago [Body] 1. OSU is gonna pass it way more. They hardly passed this year, so that seems plausible. beanie is a loss, but he's replaceable. Ehhh...sketchy. At least the hurt, gimpy version they had for much of last year is replaceable. 2 lauranitias wasn't all that great Agreed. 3 hartline is garbage for OSU Not garbage, but not all that. 4 jenkins was the best in a while at OSU Agreed. 5osu lost 1 shitty linemen who got arrested Agreed. 6 osu gained an all-big ten linemen from scUM Entirely plausible. 7 osu's line will be better. Given #5 and #6, I buy it. 8 wr's are faster and better This seems entirely plausible. Their receivers weren't that grat. 9 dline is better They only lost 1 D lineman, and his replacement was a 5-star. That's plausible. 10 lb's are better I disagree with this. osu goes 12-0,11-1, or 10-2. 10-2 seems likely to me. usc, penn state ummm goes 5-7, 6-6, or 7-5. Entirely reasonable. [Title]

Output: 1. OSU is gonna pass it way

Output: Are his offers to play hoop


Input: [Date] 6 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Or how about we stop obsessing about every little $158 infraction? This was reported to the NCAA, and resolved. It's over. No program, including ours, is 100% clean. Lets stop shrieking about an impossibly small transgression - it makes it seem like we're trying to rationalize getting our ass handed to us for 5 consecutive years. [Title]

Output: Or how about we stop

Input: [Date] 6 years 9 weeks ago [Body] You've ducked it twice now. Explain how he found out that Martin bought Louis Bullock's parents a set of plane tickets, made Bullock give them back, but never: a) reported them b) cut of Martin's access to the team Please. [Title]

Output: You've ducked it twice now.


Input: [Date] 6 years 9 weeks ago [Body] I guess we're one step closer to becoming a board where people make their signatures Maxim girls with Maize and Blue bikinis photo-shopped on. Rivals board, here we come. [Title]

Output: Tater once again proves


Input: [Date] 6 years 9 weeks ago [Body] He knew that Martin bought Bullock plane tickets, because he made Bullock give them back. But he never reported the incident, and never took Martin's access away after the incident. Being a good person in everyday life doesn't mean he did the right thing in his professional life. [Title]

Output: He knew that Martin bought


Input: [Date] 6 years 9 weeks ago [Body] I was at Michigan during Fischer's reign. He knew that Martin was buying Bullock's family airlines tickets (he stopped him on one occassion) but still didn't remove Martin's access to the program. Open your eyes. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 years 9 weeks ago [Body] OK. She's a George H. W. Bush federal appointee. She has voted with Republican judges more often than she ohas voted with Democratic judges. In the one abortion-issues case she has sat on, she voted on the "pro-life" side. On the firefighters case, she upheld 2nd Circuit Court precedent. I'm not saying she was right, but that's hardly "activist". You're looking at a single decision and assuming it was made for one of a myriad of issues. [Title]

Output: OK. She's a George H. W. Bush

Input: [Date] 6 years 9 weeks ago [Body] According to Orrin Hatch, who is opposed to everything Obama stands for politically and in ideology. Hatch wants to scare people into thinking that "empathatic" means "will kill babies". Further, I imagine that her decision (if she wrote the decision? Clearly other federal judges had to side with her - it's a panel of 3 judges) rested in law? Like she used law to back up her point? I'm not a lawyer, so I wouldn't know what laws relate to the case, but I would know enough to research them before I implied that her decision was based on "all I vote on are racial lines". [Title]

Output: According to Orrin Hatch, who

Input: [Date] 6 years 9 weeks ago [Body] Lete me preface by saying that I don't listen to Cowherd, and all I hear about him confirms that I shouldn't. That said, I think you're missing the point. His point is that a drunk driver doesn't intend to harm someone. A drunk driver is making a stupid, horrible decision that may harm someone else. Making two dogs fight, or, to his analogy, molesting a child, requires a desire and willingness to harm another being. Thus, the difference in the mindsets. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 years 9 weeks ago [Body] This thread is stocked with by people with only a small, faint, glimmering hint of knowledge about the NBA: 1. Oden should not have stayed in school longer. He as drafted 1st over one of the most heralded prospects in history (Durant). He could have improved his stock no more. He wouldn't have been coached better - do you really think Matta is a better coach than Nate McMillan and an NBA staff? Ohio State fans don't even think that. 2. It's too early. He hasn't been a failure for two seasons. He's been extremely foul-prone for one. He missed a year due to injury. And he's not Darko. Darko played nothing but garbage time for 3 years, and had been a BACKUP for a lower division European team. Oden was the best player on the 2nd best team in college basketball. He had a track record of success, Darko didn't. Again: At this point Darko couldn't crack a rotation, Oden averaged 9 points and 7 boards in 21 minutes a game. 3. He had microfracture surgery LAST YEAR. Even the most successful cases, like Amare Stoudemire, take more than a full year to come back from it. Others, like Antonio McDyess, come back but aren't the same player. Others, like Gilbert Arenas, never come back. [Title]

Football has just been so depressing lately the breath of fresh air will be most welcome. In terms of success however, I am guessing that basketball finishes higher in the B1G standings and national polls than football.

Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] Yea I get that [Body]

Output: I guess I was just expecting more rational behavior from people who themselves are coaches and who should have at least some interest in having the kid go to class and succed academically. Partically when high school coaches themselves have had to deal with their own players not making it academically. You would think they would be more understanding then the typical parent. Then again, Ted Ginn, sr. seemed to have a similar reaction when Carr rightly disciplined one of his players so maybe I am just giving high school coaches too much credit.

Output: Ruddock should definitely be an upgrade. The jury is still out on Isaac IMO. I just think the loss of Funchess puts this year at a disadvantage, but I would be happy to be wrong. Even if I am right we should be a more consistent offense given the OL maturation and hopefully better coaching. I can just forsee a lot of 17-14 and 20-17 games.

And that's a perfectly reasonable alternative to just spending 10 minutes scrolling through Brady's phone? Sorry, defending that approach is a stretch beyond stretches.

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 18 hours ago [Body] The interesting thing to me about the Craig Ross blurb is this: Ross said he wished Franklin and Leach threw the ball more (and better) - which is basically RR's offense. Thus the highly ironic and idiotic nature of whatever boogeymen were out there during the RR era, pining for the good old days. Ever since Bo left, the offense we've run that bears the absolute least resemblance to Bo's offense..... is Lloyd Carr's! Lloyd's model was to find a bazooka statue and have him either give to the RB or shoot off rockets. I figure this is partly because Harbaugh showed what could be done with a QB with passing skills, and that combined with that being the direction the world was moving anyway, convinced Bo's successors to go find strong-armed QBs. Thus, Grbac, Navarre, Henne, etc. Bo's offense would've had little use for John Navarre; RR would never have recruited him. [Title]

Output: The interesting thing to me


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 19 hours ago [Body] I gotta admit....Pluto is a cool-looking ball of rock. I did kinda think maybe it could be re-planetized. But putting Pluto back in the planet category is kind of like adding Rutgers to the Big Ten. Sure, Scarlet Knights is a cool nickname, and Rutgers was great back in the day....way back in the day. But they don't bring anything and they mess up the symmetry and if you think Rutgers is worthy of being in the Big Ten then why not dozens of other programs? Besides, neat as Pluto looks, there are some moons in this solar system that look way cooler. If that's the only criterion I propose Callisto as a planet. It hasn't managed to get rid of Jupiter from its orbit around the sun, but I don't know how you could turn down a giant floating disco ball. [Title]

That's a huge empty space separating Midtown and downtown. The project as designed would be a huge, huge link, not to mention bringing very badly needed residential development to an area absolutely screaming for it. I don't know about the JLA site development, it sounded like a lot of wishful thinking, but it'd be great if they actually did build a 30-story skyscraper there, especially if that too was part residential.

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Let's be clear: The new Wings arena isn't being financed with public money in the same sense these other stadiums generally are. I outlined this in another thread, but the "public portion" of the Wings arena is Downtown Development Authority money. DDA money is required by state law to be spent on economic development downtown. The DDA is financed by property taxes - but only that portion of property tax above the property's assessment prior to inclusion in the DDA. In other words, a parcel's taxable value before inclusion was X, when it was included it became X+Y, and Y is taken by the DDA to support downtown economic development - which again, by state law, is the only allowable purpose. X continues to go to the city for police and streetlights and whatever. This is why the DDA is called quasi-public. It's basically a homeowner's association for downtown businesses. And the DDA, by the way, will own the arena. This is a far cry different from the usual public funding mechanisms. The DDA exists precisely to fund things like this. And Oliver is not being honest by not noting the difference. [Title]

Output: Let's be clear: The new Wings


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Frankly, in the case of this project, people who hate public funding of stadiums should be cheering the new Wings arena up and down the block. The bonds issued to pay for this thing are being paid back by the Ilitches and the DDA - NOT "Detroit taxpayers" which seems to be what fronts all the headlines. The Downtown Development Authority is more akin to a homeowners' association than anything, except its members are downtown businesses, and it's them who will pick up half the tab. It is most emphatically not being paid for by city residents. The DDA is funded by property taxes paid by downtown businesses, but only that portion of property tax above and beyond the value that the property would be assessed at if it wasn't in the DDA. And since state law requires that money go to economic development in the area, the arena is a more than logical use of the funds. Oh, and the DDA will own the arena, not the Ilitches. [Title]

Output: Frankly, in the case of this

Output: Wisconsin....


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] has impact on M's potential B1G tourney semifinal opponents. Nebraska still in the running for a 4/5 seed, though they likely need to beat wisconsin at home to close the regular season to have a shot at that now. [Title]

Output: has a bit of an impact


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] on thursday, they could finish 10-8 and maybe fall to 6th place if Nebraska wins 3 of their last 4, giving us a potential semi matchup of OSU/nebraska and putting msu wisky and Iowa all on that side of the bracket [Title]

Output: if Iowa doesn't beat iu

Output: I've been anticipating this column


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Body] Those games will be an either/or, dictated by television. This mostly happens when there are potential games that CBS/ESPN want to poach that weekend, which would change where these games would slot in. Michigan had the same thing on last year's schedule for the home finale against Indiana. [Title]

Output: That's correct


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] were up 11 at half, close 2nd half, then McCafferty went apeshit costing his team a 5 point trip on 2 technicals, lost by 4. Iowa is a legit top 25 team. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 48 weeks ago [Body] In the 40s, windy and started raining in 1st half. M scored td to go up 7-0, psu ran off 35 of next 38. Graham zug and andrew quarless combined for 4 receiving td's, 3 of which were flat blown coverages down the seam [Title]

Output: Surprised to see no mention of penn st 2009


Input: [Date] 1 year 48 weeks ago [Body] But I only count 2 in an 11 game non-conf schedule (excluding the 2 exhibitions), not exactly HBCU heavy. With a remaining schedule that includes road games at Iowa State and Duke, home games with Arizona, plus neutrals with Stanford, Florida St/VCU in Puerto Rico, then a likely 3rd game in Puerto Rico of G'Town or K State, I think that's a more than acceptable non-conf. schedule for a team of what Michigan's caliber should be this year. [Title]

Output: Not sure about Houston Baptist


Input: [Date] 1 year 51 weeks ago [Body] Guy I work with ties their draft order into the Kentucky Derby, kinda similar to the NASCAR one above. Each guy in the league gets 2 starting positions assigned at random. They use the highest finish of the 2 horses for each person and rank the draft order as such. Side bonus is that he also hit the trifecta this year using his 2 numbers and a 3rd he picked, won $4,000. [Title]

Output: Too late for this year but

I'm sure it's complete coincidence Wojo uses the same not exactly common word, guttural, that Ace used in the opening sentence of his game recap. [Title]

Output: Nice to know Wojo reads MGoBlog

Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Body] "He does it the right way -- clean -- and he adjust to his personnel. Before he had Burke, they didn't ball-screen a ton. They also used to play a ton of 1-3-1 defense and now he just sprinkles it in. He's a really good coach." Just reeks of being from Izzo. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] The contracts on their face are both 5/$80 but Verlander's was structured at $8 and $12 the first two years, then bumped to $20/year the last 3 years so Verlander is making $20 million this year. Unless Sanchez' deal is structured to be getting more than that this year, and teams very rarely frontload contracts, he won't be making more than JV. [Title]

Output: No he's not

Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Body] "Irvin jumped 37 spots from 68th to 31st in the rankings while Walton rose 13 spots, to 44th up from 57th. Donnal saw his stock drop but only minimally as he fell from 103rd to 104th." Irvin had a huge summer and is now the go to guy on his HS team with his teammate Gary Harris now in East Lansing. A lot of rumblings from Indy BBall people have listed him as the best player in Indiana. With a good HS season, I could see another jump from him to near 5 star status similar to the leap that GR3 made last year. [Title]

Output: From UMHoops.com


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Body] this was actually done outside of the actual school district. once the voters turned down the bond issue, the school dropped it and it was actually the sports booster club that undertook and did the financing for this. obviously the school had to give its permission but the truly idiotic was done by non-school district people. i would bet you'll see a large donation made by the detroit lions charitable foundation then an 11th hour refinance of the remaining portion of the unpaid amount, too much bad pr all around for the bank to just take peoples houses for something that "benefitted the kids", regardless of how monumentally stupid these peoples initial decision was. [Title]

Output: my wife teaches at oxford hs


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] Been on flights with Mike Tirico (Dallas) and Jason Richardson (Charlotte, NC) on separate occasions. My best one was from just a couple of weeks ago. Went to Pittsburgh for Tigers games and after a night of baseball, drinking and the casino, my buddies and I ended up at the same bar as Verlander and Gerald Laird. My buddy and I beat Verlander and one of his boys at pool. Verlander closed the bar down and left with a very fine young lady. I'm sure she was a close friend from high school and his longtime girlfriend knows all about it. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] was Butler/Florida from 1st round in 2000. I was the only one in my dorm tourney pool that picked Butler to win (I know, cool story bro), but the memorable part is that LaVall Jordan graduated from Albion HS a year in front of me and while we weren't more than acquaintances, we knew who each other were. It was heartbreaking to see a guy I knew and an 85% free throw shooter miss 2 and Miller go the length of the floor to beat them. [Title]

Output: Not necessarily favorite, but moment I remember the most...


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] where they are going to play road games vs all 3 michigan MAC schools in the next 8ish years. 1st one is this year at CMU. [Title]

Output: State has an agreement


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Body] There is a big difference in 1st round matchups between the 2 and 3 seed. Assuming higher seed wins in 1st round of BTT, 2 seed gets winner of this weekend's Iowa/NW matchup where winner gets 7 seed. The 3 seed gets loser of IU/Purdue matchup. This of course assumes no upsets in Thursday 1st round BTT games. HUGE difference in playing IU/Purdue vs. playing Iowa/NU Fun Big Ten Tourney facts: In the 14 year history, the following matchups have never occurred: Illinois/Iowa Purdue/Wisconsin Indiana/Michigan MSU/Michigan I'm sure everyone knows about MSU/Michigan never meeting. However, there has only been 1 year (2001, UM 10 seed, MSU 2) where they could have even met before the semifinals. Including this year where they can't meet until the finals, 11 of the 15 years of the BTT, the only way MSU/Michigan could have met was in the finals. That is crazy to me. [Title]

Output: I don't know..


Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Body] So we have 11 conf. games plus arkansas left. We are currently 15-4 so if we win 5 conference games plus arkansas, we would finish at 21-10 overall. [Title]

Output: We play 18 conference games


Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Body] that it took until the bottom of the 1st page of the OP's link for someone to mention "getting no help from the whistle" and the bottom of the 2nd page for someone to call the over and back "complete homer BS" [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Farmington Hills Harrison does not have a bye this week. Their conference (Oakland Activities Association) has a crossover week this week between 2 of the divisions. Harrison is playing at Lake Orion H.S. this week. I live just south of LOHS and was thinking of going. [Title]

Output: Another correction...


Input: [Date] 4 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Nashville is in Central Time Zone, the better fit geographically is Nashville moving to the Southeast. I don't think you'll see the Wings moving east, leaving only one original 6 team in the West (Chicago). My guess of the most likely moves are moving Nashville to the Southeast, Winnipeg moving to the Northwest with the other Canadian teams + Colorado and Minnesota moving to the Central. Hopefully, the NHL uses this as the time to examine the schedule as well and change it so that each team plays the other at least once every year. It's ludicrous that it takes 4-6 years to get to see some teams/players from the opposite conference. [Title]

Output: Even though...


Input: [Date] 4 years 20 weeks ago [Body] That was EXACTLY what I did. As soon as he went up, I yelled NO, NO...WOOOOOOOOOO. [Title]

Output: Funny...


Input: [Date] 4 years 20 weeks ago [Body] and how they played in the Minnesota game, as well as how they jumped on State from the get go after a full week layoff, makes me confident that we will see Michigan's best effort against Illinois on Friday. They very easily could have come out flat for each of these games for very different reasons and didn't. [Title]

Output: The team's response after Wisconsin game...

Input: [Date] 4 years 33 weeks ago [Body] Sheppard is the raido play by play guy for Michigan basketball, so if anything, he'd be biased TOWARD michigan. [Title]

Output: Sheppard


Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Body] We both felt RR has to have been keeping something up his sleeve for Sparty. The offense hasn't had to show many wrinkles due to the sheer dominance of Denard, but I would be SHOCKED if there aren't a few plays that involve more than 1 of the QB's. My favorite would be Denard and Gardner in the backfield, maybe trying to get Gardner isolated on a LB on a wheel route or a jumpball play near the goalline similar to the one that tOSU ran for Pryor a couple of times when Boeckmann was there. [Title]

Output: Discussed this same possibility with a buddy last night...


Input: [Date] 5 years 2 weeks ago [Body] on August 10th in New Jersey. Given the World Cup and most players beginning preparations for their respective club seasons, it's debatable how many of the recognizable names for either side will be there. I would think the U.S. or Mexico based players would likely be there (Donovan, Buddle, Findlay, Torres, Gomez), but I would question if the guys that play on European club teams (Onyewu, Dempsey, Holden, etc.) will be there. Maybe we could see the return of Charlie Davies to the USMNT..... [Title]

Output: The U.S. plays a friendly against Brazil...


Input: [Date] 5 years 4 weeks ago [Body] was the first game I attended at the Big House. I doubt my experience is any different than any others' first game. Truly, one of the more memorable sporting events in my life. The epic beatdown on TUOOS that day was icing on the cake. [Title]

Output: 93 OSU game...


Input: [Date] 5 years 7 weeks ago [Body] and he is an outstanding person. The phrase "nicest guy you'll ever meet" is thrown around a lot, but it's true with LaVall. So pumped he has gotten the opportunity to come back to Michigan. [Title]

Output: I went to Albion High School with LaVall....


Input: [Date] 5 years 23 weeks ago [Body] all the original plays on Michigan's name. "Make Michigan" on the front and "Our Bichigan" on the back. Also have seen an "Ann Arbor is a Whore" shirt. All they need is a "Wal-Mart Wolverine" one to complete the cycle. I know Iowa is really bad, but Lickliter should really have trouble looking his team in the face when he gives his munchkin son 7-10 minutes a game [Title]

Output: Looks like the Iowa fans are bringing out..


Input: [Date] 5 years 32 weeks ago [Body] Is Antwan Boldin any relation to Anquan Boldin from the Cardinals? I know what you meant, but couldn't pass this one up. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 years 7 weeks ago [Body] The Rule 5 rules also allow a team to offer a selection back to the team the guy was originally selected from for $25,000. Not sure if you can then just cut him if the original team doesn't want him back either. You haven't seen Bloom this year because he was terrible in spring training and the Tigers offered him back to the Pirates and the Pirates accepted because they apparently didn't have enough terrible pitchers. [Title]

Output: The Rule 5 rules also allow a


Input: [Date] 10 hours 31 min ago [Title] I have it on good authority [Body]

Output: I have it on good authority that it was not you who were late for anything. It was instead a Mr. W. Rabbit.


Input: [Date] 1 day 16 hours ago [Title] You're saying the NFL was [Body]

Output: You're saying the NFL was offered a spreadsheet conveniently put together by Brady's agents, on which they'd have to take the agents' word it was complete and accurate, and in order to find out what was on Brady's cell phone, they could instead track down multiple other cell phones and check off items on the spreadsheet? And that's a perfectly reasonable alternative to just spending 10 minutes scrolling through Brady's phone? Sorry, defending that approach is a stretch beyond stretches. All this fuck-Goodell outrage pretty much ignores the fact that Brady basically just broke into the Watergate hotel.


Input: [Date] 2 days 8 hours ago [Title] I hate your idea of suing [Body]

Output: I hate your idea of suing because I don't want to sit here for three years watching some godawful lawsuit wend its way through the courts while ESPN breathlessly reports on every stupid motion and argument and filing in existence. I just upvoted for the Few Good Men reference.


Input: [Date] 2 days 8 hours ago [Title] Yes, they can, but from the [Body]

Output: Yes, they can, but from the phone company, which would probably never give them up short of anything but a legal subpoena. To the NFL, they're as unrecoverable as if I called up AT&T and said, hey, give me so-and-so's stored-up text messages.


Input: [Date] 2 days 12 hours ago [Title] Today in Awkwardly Worded [Body]

Output: Today in Awkwardly Worded Headlines: it's good to know Tuskegee has finally gotten out from the oppressive shadow that is Dennis Norfleet.


Input: [Date] 3 days 11 hours ago [Title] Nay to Vanderbilt. Doesn't [Body]

Output: Nay to Vanderbilt. Doesn't pass the saltwater test. Close but no cigar, they're closer to Mobile Bay than to Lake Michigan. If you're closer to salt water than to a Great Lake, no Big Ten for you. That rule if actually enacted would've saved the Big Ten a lot of trouble.


Input: [Date] 4 days 32 min ago [Title] Where have you been the last [Body]

Output: Where have you been the last 60 or 70 years?


Input: [Date] 6 days 9 hours ago [Title] How did we get this far into [Body]

Output: How did we get this far into the discussion and not mention the impact of Dave Brandon Junior on this whole thing? Sounds to me like Saban to Texas could've been done quite easily until Patterson pissed off his agent.

Output: My all-time favorite band, playing one of their very best songs:


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] And in most cases that's a [Body]

Output: And in most cases that's a good thing. Here, maybe not, I just really like the very chill vibe of the studio version, but Billy Preston is killing it anyway and the whole band is as '70s as '70s can be, so hey.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] TMNT while it was on, then [Body]

Output: TMNT while it was on, then Animaniacs. Definitely some Animaniacs.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] I like the non-live version [Body]

Output: I like the non-live version of this song better than live, it's a bit more laid-back, but the OP said live, so I'll be obliging.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] I like this game. It's a [Body]

Output: I like this game. It's a great deal more memorable than pretty much any other game that year. Hell of a lot more interesting than your basic run of the mill 24-10 win.

Output: Fking grammar Nazis.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 12 hours ago [Title] Amazon's a retail company [Body]

Output: Amazon's a retail company like any other retail company. Which means they hype up sales to try and generate, you know, sales. Probably 100 years ago Sears or Montgomery Ward or Hudson's would have these big posters up advertising a sale and people would walk out going, "I say, old bean, that was a dilly of a letdown." Why anyone expects Amazon to be magically different because it's an Internet company and start selling $50 TVs is beyond me.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] The change from calling it [Body]

Output: The change from calling it Big Jim's is a really recent development, so I don't know all that much about it.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Nobody from UVA ever said UVA [Body]

Output: Nobody from UVA ever said UVA had the "largest mall in the country." Just the only one that's a World Heritage Site.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] The interesting thing to me [Body]

Output: The interesting thing to me about the Craig Ross blurb is this: Ross said he wished Franklin and Leach threw the ball more (and better) - which is basically RR's offense. Thus the highly ironic and idiotic nature of whatever boogeymen were out there during the RR era, pining for the good old days. Ever since Bo left, the offense we've run that bears the absolute least resemblance to Bo's offense..... is Lloyd Carr's! Lloyd's model was to find a bazooka statue and have him either give to the RB or shoot off rockets. I figure this is partly because Harbaugh showed what could be done with a QB with passing skills, and that combined with that being the direction the world was moving anyway, convinced Bo's successors to go find strong-armed QBs. Thus, Grbac, Navarre, Henne, etc. Bo's offense would've had little use for John Navarre; RR would never have recruited him.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I gotta admit....Pluto is a [Body]

Output: I gotta admit....Pluto is a cool-looking ball of rock. I did kinda think maybe it could be re-planetized. But putting Pluto back in the planet category is kind of like adding Rutgers to the Big Ten. Sure, Scarlet Knights is a cool nickname, and Rutgers was great back in the day....way back in the day. But they don't bring anything and they mess up the symmetry and if you think Rutgers is worthy of being in the Big Ten then why not dozens of other programs? Besides, neat as Pluto looks, there are some moons in this solar system that look way cooler. If that's the only criterion I propose Callisto as a planet. It hasn't managed to get rid of Jupiter from its orbit around the sun, but I don't know how you could turn down a giant floating disco ball.

Output: Grounds grounds grounds grounds grounds. It's not a campus. Or, it's a campus that's called grounds.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] May I humbly suggest you take [Body]

Output: May I humbly suggest you take an hour or two and walk around the UVA grounds. It really is worth the experience. I don't think they'd be doing tours in the summer, but you never know. Also, Monticello isn't the only presidential mansion in the area; someone mentioned Montpelier which is maybe 30 minutes away, and Ash Lawn-Highland is the house of James Monroe and right next door to Monticello. Actually there are two former houses belonging to Monroe in the area; one is smack in the middle of the UVA grounds.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm not letting Brandon off [Body]

Output: I'm not letting Brandon off the hook for hiring a coach that required an expensive firing. He made the choice and he signed the contracts.

Output: Yep....Martin is actually one of the hardy souls racing the Supermac, a once-a-decade-or-so race from Chicago to Port Huron (or vice versa, depending.) Over 500 miles, and then Stripes will turn around and do the regular Port Huron race.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Title] If everything comes to [Body]

Output: If everything comes to fruition - never a safe assumption but things do seem to be rolling - the whole thing will work out brilliantly, I think. That's a huge empty space separating Midtown and downtown. The project as designed would be a huge, huge link, not to mention bringing very badly needed residential development to an area absolutely screaming for it. I don't know about the JLA site development, it sounded like a lot of wishful thinking, but it'd be great if they actually did build a 30-story skyscraper there, especially if that too was part residential.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Let's be clear: The new Wings [Body]

Output: Let's be clear: The new Wings arena isn't being financed with public money in the same sense these other stadiums generally are. I outlined this in another thread, but the "public portion" of the Wings arena is Downtown Development Authority money. DDA money is required by state law to be spent on economic development downtown. The DDA is financed by property taxes - but only that portion of property tax above the property's assessment prior to inclusion in the DDA. In other words, a parcel's taxable value before inclusion was X, when it was included it became X+Y, and Y is taken by the DDA to support downtown economic development - which again, by state law, is the only allowable purpose. X continues to go to the city for police and streetlights and whatever. This is why the DDA is called quasi-public. It's basically a homeowner's association for downtown businesses. And the DDA, by the way, will own the arena. This is a far cry different from the usual public funding mechanisms. The DDA exists precisely to fund things like this. And Oliver is not being honest by not noting the difference.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Frankly, in the case of this [Body]

Output: Frankly, in the case of this project, people who hate public funding of stadiums should be cheering the new Wings arena up and down the block. The bonds issued to pay for this thing are being paid back by the Ilitches and the DDA - NOT "Detroit taxpayers" which seems to be what fronts all the headlines. The Downtown Development Authority is more akin to a homeowners' association than anything, except its members are downtown businesses, and it's them who will pick up half the tab. It is most emphatically not being paid for by city residents. The DDA is funded by property taxes paid by downtown businesses, but only that portion of property tax above and beyond the value that the property would be assessed at if it wasn't in the DDA. And since state law requires that money go to economic development in the area, the arena is a more than logical use of the funds. Oh, and the DDA will own the arena, not the Ilitches.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Call me crazy, but I could [Body]

Output: Call me crazy, but I could see LSU looking for someone new. I dont think they'll be too tolerant of 41-7 blow outs and I've never understood the hype around Les. Thats a team with tons of talent that tends to under achieve most years. Watching the Wisconsin game earlier this year was exhibit A: a totally superior team talent wise that should have lost to one-dimensional Wisconsin team. My fear is that LSU will be ready for him to leave when we come calling and they thank us for the offer...

Output: Toenails and lemons dont even approach the pain of this UFR. I pitty Brian. Hopefully he has enough sense to not UFR this one. theres really no point.


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I've never been sold that Les [Body]

Output: I've never been sold that Les is that great of a coach either. He almost lost to Wisconsin who has no qb and the talent at lsu is ridiculuous

Output: oline was terrible and o didnt score....but I honestly think I'm most dissapointed in the D. I really thought they were greatly improved and they couldnt stop anyone tonight. One step late everywhere on the field.

Output: I'm an idiot. I thought the day was coming where we would return to glory 6 years ago. Its not coming. I officially just lost faith in the coaching staff as well. I havent seen it mentioned.....but this wont help recruiting. What are the chances hardbough comes home?

Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] I hope you're right. All of [Body]

Output: I hope you're right. All of tosu fans here in Columbus think he's coming to tosu without a doubt. They cant get this season over fast enough so that he can take the reigns. There are rumors flying around everywhere here about him buying a house in Columbus. I dont believe that he'll come for the reasons you mentioned and I could see PSU as the logical destination if he truely desires coaching again.

Output: I'm living in Columbus now...it sucks. Anybody know of a UM friendly bar to catch the games at? The google map only shows Dave and Busters and I'm hoping that there is another venue to catch the games with some UM fans.

Output: I moved to Columbus with my fiance for work this winter....about the time that all the scandals came out. You brought luck to Alabama. So did I bring good luck to Ohio or did I bring bad luck...? I'm inclined to think that I brought good luck to UM...but I need to be sure or I wont be able to move back to Michigan!

Output: Recently relocated to Columbus....I know, it blows....but love is a bitch and this is where my fiance lives/works! We have boycotted cable/direct tv and bottom line is I dont want to buck up for it. I prefer watching games at UM bars will fellow fans anyways. Does anyone know of a UM bar in the Columbus area? Any help/info would be greatly appreciated! *Would have posted new thread about this, but I dont have enough points.*


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] When I played 5th-8th grade [Body]

Output: When I played 5th-8th grade football, our games were always on saturday afternoons. My mom and dad came to every game. I was a UM super fan at an early age so missing the UM games bothered me as much as it did my father (who has been a life long fan) and my mother (a UM grad). This gave my family a special bonding opportunity and a saturday ritual during those years.... We would record each game on the vcr and when we got home from my colt league games, we would sit down and watch the UM game as a family. We accomplished two things here: 1. My family attended all my games, something I'll never forget. 2. We built anticipation all day for the afternoon of watching UM games together as a family over a bowl of hot nachos, also something I will never forget. Cash in on this opportunity. Enjoy your sons soccer games and then bring him into the fold as a UM superfan and enjoy the football games together as well.

Output: have a crew of grad-assistants that break down film like this already. After my playing days, myself and a few other GA's would be up all night sunday breaking down tendancies and packaging film for the coaches to use on Monday....and this was at the DII level. I'm sure they have a refined system at the DI level

Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Title] not enough data to get any [Body]

Output: not enough data to get any real trends....it would need to include position breakdowns. RR had to take a huge number of players at the skilled positions, more than the typical amount per class. My gut tells me that RR players will be slightly smaller, but not by the huge amount this data shows.

Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Title] rabble rabble rabble [Body]

Output: What happened at ND was a tragic accident and I cant imagine the pain that the family of that young man has gone through. We have no way of knowing that some deal has been cut behind closed doors to keep the family quiet. Could it simply be that the family is accepting the situation for what it is...a tragic accident that was preventable. How does destroying the lives of ND staff by firing everyone who could have been responsible make the situation any better? Does making accusations about shady closed door deals without a shred of evidence make the situation any better? The best course of action is to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again by educating everyone at ND (and nationwide for that matter) to the risks associated with the work and by putting safety procedures in place to prevent such occurances. That seems to be the course ND is following.
