Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I can't believe people are [Body]

Output: I can't believe people are mad about this and think it is dirty for being "deceptive." Other common football things that are deceptive and designed to throw the defense off: Play action Pump fakes Hard counts Fake punts Fake field goals Pretty much any trick play They are all perfectly legal, and if the NFL thought they were too mean, they would eliminate them. New England did something unique that Baltimore wasn't ready for, and that is nobody's fault but Baltimore's. They could have called a timeout, or they could make sure the guys they pay millions to play defense every year can identify eligibility based on formation, especially when there is announcement that someone else is checking in as eligible, which immediately indicates somebody else must not be.


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 6 days ago [Title] CS Major Here [Body]

Output: I have only taken the class once, and thus only have first-hand experience with the professor who taught the class, but the vibe I've gotten is that your experience will be greatly impacted by who's teaching it. (Same holds for EECS 281 if you decided to take it some day) I checked the class listing, and there appear to be 4 secions taught by either Ringenberg, Fu, and DeOrio. I have absolutely no idea who the second two are, but Ringenberg was my professor for ENGIN 101 and also taught other sections of 280 when I had it. (He may have even co-taught it; don't honestly remember) Ringenberg is a good professor who was generally very helpful when you needed it and also does a nice job with his lecture content, but his voice is a little monotone, so if you tend to get bored in lectures, beware of that. Other than that though, I would recommend him without any hesitation if you can swing scheduling his section. Projects, however, tend to be mostly the same except when they blow them up every one in a while, perhaps due to too much cheating. They are pretty managable though as long as you don't totally blow them off (especially the Sorry project, they give you enough time to not have to do it on Spring Break if you don't want to, but you better have done some of it before then if you want that to happen, as that is the most time consuming of the 5 or 6 there are, or at least where when I took it 4 years ago) Too bad for you Noble isn't teaching it next semester. Noble is one of the very best, and I am extremely happy I was able to take the class with him.


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 4 days ago [Title] My $0.02 [Body]

Output: I was okay with the decision to go for it, but I was a,azed at the play call. The clock stops for a change of posession anyway, so if you're going to go for it, you really ought to do a pass play with the option to scramle for it because it offers you a better chance of getting the first down and also burns more time for the play itself in the vent you are not successful. Given that the call was a run right up the middle needing 4 yards in a system not really designed for conservative runs right up the middle, pretty much every other option that didn't involve going for it was better IMHO.


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Title] Awesome [Body]

Output: I'll get on that as soon as I get home from work. Thanks again! EDIT: Torrent still appears not to be working. It is not finding any peers to connect to. =(


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] 2013 ND Game [Body]

Output: I would send an e-mail, but my current e-mail account has for some reason gone totally foo bar, so I will try asking here. Any chance you could reseed the 2013 ND game? I caught onto these torrent threads late and after going back and finding that one it seems the pool has dried up. Appreciate your work!


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Title] Still doesn't change the [Body]

Output: Still doesn't change the enormous contributions he's made in every other part of his game, and if you've been watching any of him playing, you'd know too he could easily have a handful of goals by now with some of his chances. He's the kind of guy who's having trouble potting his first goal, but as soon as he gets it, it could give him the confidence edge to start putting a lot of them in.


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Title] To Be Fair... [Body]

Output: I doubt Kentucky makes it against any of the other 1 seeds, and doubt Tennessee makes it past Duke if they don't get trolled by Mercer.


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Title] Good News if We Make It [Body]

Output: Yale was the last team in last year and won the national championship. If we had beaten ND in the CCHA Final, last year's champion wouldn't have even meade the tournament. Losing to PSU definitely makes me not feel good about our chances, but then slamming Minnesota does again. We're wildely inconsistent this year, but the nice thing about the tournament is you don't need to be consistent, you just have to be on the upside at the right time. That's how we managed to win it all in 1996 and 1998 but NOT win in 1997.


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] Don't Worry About It [Body]

Output: I go down there and attend something at the convention center around mid to late January every year and I've never had a problem. Especially when you're there for an event at the convention center, most of the people around you aren't from around town anyway and probably aren't OSU crazies. Obviously there is always some risk, but I'd say its pretty low; no more likely to happen than if you drove around any other Big Ten town with Michigan stuff. I think most of the stories that go around come from football games. When I go down there for The Game, I am extra careful, because all the crazies ARE in town at that point and you are going right into the eye of the storm. For that you would want to take every necessary precaution and avoid any unnecessary risk, but for a convention, you'll be fine.


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Title] Long track speedskating... [Body]

Output: Its kind of like if NASCAR races were actually just qualifying laps, minus the super fast car... He's from the Netherlands though, he's probably high.


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Title] When I read the OP, I thought [Body]

Output: When I read the OP, I thought to myself "that isn't really thread-worthy for someone who may not care much about the NFL". Then I watched the video and saw that she got a map to go with it with a big dot over Green Bay. Wow.


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] 2008 Northwestern [Body]

Output: There was rain, sleet, snow, and hail at some point during the game, and all I had was a windbreaker because it was actually not too bad when I left. Spent halftime in the bathroow huddled around a heater with everyone who didn't leave. There were maybe 20,000 left by the end of the game, and I stayed because the game was close, but of course the team didn't come back, given it was 2008, nor did they have the decency to let Northwestern pull away and let me leave. Oh, and literally the first 4-5 buses at CC Little showed up out of service. There were literally about 100-150 people, maybe even more all desperately trying to huddle under the tiny shelter (this was before the fancy ones there are now) and the numbers kept going up because some idiot decided not to make sure all the buses heading to North Campus weren't taking a break at the same time. The truely awful thing is, I initially forgot my ticket and had to go back for it. My roommate hadn't left because he decided he didn't want to deal with it. Should have taken that as a sign, but hey, at least I can say I'm loyal. (But seriously, they should have given everybody their money back who stayed for the whole thing as a sign of gratitude)


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Title] Mel Wakabayashi [Body]

Output: He coached a Japanese team that he had also played for and the Japanese national team at the 1980 Olympics. EDIT: I guess that doesn't qualify as now, but I thought it was worth a mention anyway because Mel is awesome.


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] Yost and Notre Dame [Body]

Output: It has generally been to my understanding that Yost wasn't as bad with religion as he was with race. The story I've heard is that he hated Notre Dame because their AD stuck his nose into some thing over rereunning a race at a track meet and he got so mad about it he swore to make sure they never got into the Big Ten when he was previously all for it and it was probably going to happen soon thereafter. Everything he said after that was pretty much gaming public opinion at the time to stick it to ND, but he was totally cool with Catholics or Jews on the team. He definitely wasn't a fan of African Americans though, and that has been well documented.


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Ohio Stadium [Body]

Output: And that's not being a homer. I've been there twice and both times was shocked at what a dump it is. I expected it to live up to its reputation in stadium rankings and what I got was a cynder block. The whole thing is solid concrete, and what few parts aren't concrete are painted grey to match the concrete. Even the routunda was riddled with cracks and off-color patches to the concrete all around it, while the upper bowl looks like it has gotten zero maintenence since it was first put in. Its cracked, chipping, and ugly. By far the worst stadium I've ever seen. This is out of Michigan Stadium, Spartan Stadium, Ross-Ade, Bryant-Denny (not for a game), and Bronco Stadium (also not for a game, loved the smurf turf though) for reference. Haven't been to enough other venues of different sports or the NFL to make a call on any of those, although I will say I liked the Superdome when I went for the Sugar Bowl, and I thought Progressive Field was pretty nice when I went to the Frozen Diamond against Ohio, in terms of non-Michigan, non-Detroit venues I've been to.


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] So if they joined for just [Body]

Output: So if they joined for just one sport, why are we so sure they're going to get into the CIC? I mean, it would be great if we DID allow them in, but what's stopping us from doing that anyway? The CIC still has Chicago in it, and whether JHU joins the conference for lacrosse or not, they certainly aren't affiliated with another major conference in any way, so they could just let them in anyway. While it is practically speaking all the B1G schools, its not like they couldn't make an exception if they wanted to. Also, if the conference is willing to take on an affiliate member for sports only a handful of schools are sponsoring... WHY THE HELL DID IT TAKE SO LONG TO GET A HOCKEY CONFERENCE!?


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] Wow, what a schedule. Think I [Body]

Output: Wow, what a schedule. Think I need to get season tickets this year instead of going individual. Just hope the team is up to playing it, unlike last year.


Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I was pretty confident I'd [Body]

Output: I was pretty confident I'd get in, although I was a little insecure about my ACT score and decided to take it again just to be safe. I got accepted two days before my new score was released. Talk about a waste of $50 and a Saturday. Applied to MSU and MTU as backups but frankly never figured it'd be a problem anyway. I guess I thought of MSU as the backup, but in reality I likely would have gone to Tech in that case. Also, thanks to the internet, I knew before I got the letter I had gotten in. IIRC, they milked that pretty hard though. They just e-mailed me saying they had decided, then made you go to the website, go to a page, and then click on "View Decision" to find out... Also, totally jealous of your age. You were here at a rediculously good time on the athletics side of things. Hockey team coming off a national title coming in, and them and football getting one a piece while you were in school. HAVE PITY ON THE CLASS OF 2012, but have more on 2011 because that's actually probably worse (assuming 4 years)


Input: [Date] 2 years 12 weeks ago [Title] That 64-bit integer... [Body]

Output: Is it signed, unsigned, or two's complement?


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Title] I liked the picture... [Body]

Output: Until I realized they are playing my old high school in it. =/ Oh well, he'll be a good guy this time next year.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] I think you can make the case [Body]

Output: I think you can make the case either way, but what I felt ultimately made that a block was the guy make ZERO effort to twist to get to either side of Morgan even though he clearly should have known Morgan was likely going to beat him to that spot. If he shifted at all and hit Morgan more to the side, that's a block or a no-call I think, but the way he proceeded to knowngly crash right into the middle of his chest I think sealed his fate.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Thought it was pretty even, [Body]

Output: Thought it was pretty even, although they definitely let an awful lot go. I felt this game was pretty physical. Only truely horrible call was that foul on Burke.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Allegidly [Body]

Output: Gotta remember the second one.


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] This season was definitely a [Body]

Output: This season was definitely a failure for which the team deserves criticism for. True enough, the streak was never going to last forever, but we've had less talent than we did this year and won the conference; these guys just couldn't learn to play like a team until they dug themselves into a hole just a little too deep to get out of. Injuries didn't help, but they still should have been good enough to at least be more competitive than they were. BUT, there is a difference between being critical of the team and being a fairweather whiner. Completely ceasing all hockey coverage falls into the latter. That isn't legitimate criticism, it's completely turning your back on the team because they aren't living up to their collective draft statuses, and I think it is unbecoming of the largest Michigan sports blog, and particularly one that regularly covers hockey. The fact Brian came out and said he wasn't covering hockey because he was mad at how they were doing is even sadder. I can understand being less motivated to keep up given the cisrumstances, but just admitting you're rage quitting and mad you bought season tickets is pathetic.


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] True [Body]

Output: But there's getting a break or two to fall your way and then there's the crap ND and OSU have gotten away with this year. Ohio I don't know got an excessive about of luck; only the MSU fumble really stands out to me. ND, however, has gotten every break and every call. They barely beat a terrible Purdue team, they only beat us by a TD even though we gave them 6 turnovers, they needed two gifts from the officials to beat Stanford and Pitt, and they managed to get USC one week after their starting quarterback went down with a shoulder injury. That is more than luck, that is backing into a title game, but I guess that's okay because you need a lot more than luck to beat Alabama.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] That would be excellent. Do [Body]

Output: That would be excellent. Do you have any more specific instruction to that site though? I'm looking at a map right now and I'm not seeing anything on sattelite that looks like what you're talking about near there. Searching for the location only yields two results that are on the other side of town. EDIT: Think I found it. http://www.columbus.k12.oh.us/specialolympics/ Google Maps search gave me the state-wide HQ which is across town. A general search turned up that, which is right where you mentioned and a VERY good parking location for $10. Very much appreciate the advice. Given your word on the people running it and the fact it is off to the side enough to be out of the way of passer-bys on the way to the stadium, that looks to be perfect and I will definitely go there. Thanks!


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Nope [Body]

Output: Should have taken the tickets. If going to the game means I have to wait until we win at the end to stand up and cheer, so be it, it is worth it to attend.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Because [Body]

Output: Notre Dame fans are unbareable enough when they aren't winning national championships and trash talk like they do. If they actually DO get another one then it is going to be that much worse and I don't want to deal with that. Also, this year in paticular, because I feel they are grossly overrated. Yes, I know, it is difficult to say that about a team that is undefeated, but they've had more than a championship team's worth of lucky breaks this year. It took a 2-minute drive to beat Purdue, a team we now know to be exceptionally bad. We dominated their offense and lost because Denard had the worst game of his career, and we frankly moved the ball at will when we weren't turning it over. They beat Stanford on an absolutely bogus goal line call. They beat Pitt because they were not flagged for having two guys with the same number on the field. They did, to their credit, beat Oklahoma. That game was not a fluke, they showed up ready to play and they beat them. That, however, is the only quality opponent they've beaten this year without help from the other team beating themselves or help from the officials. They are a good team, good enough for 9 or 10 wins, but they have gotten quite a few breaks to be able to call themselves undefeated and I doubt that is going to cut it if/when they play in the NCG. To be clear, too, there are a lot of title teams that survive a game on a lucky break. I'm not saying that should preclude you from being deserving of a title, merely that ND has had more than one, and a couple of them have been poor officiating (although not as bad as Colorodo's 5th down; that one deserves an asterisk next to their title).


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] K-State and Oregon [Body]

Output: I know ND gets a lot of brand-points to put them in over either of them, but ND has played almost every game very close and KSU and Oregon have been blowing out pretty much everyone, It would be a travesty for ND to get in ahead of either of them the way they are playing right now. I'd say Oregon would get the nod by virtue of the extra game they will play against a theortically quality opponent in the PAC-12 title game. If they should fall though, I still have to believe K-State's resume is good enough to overcome the bias if they win out.


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Whether mythical is the [Body]

Output: Whether mythical is the proper term or not, I don't think much of anybody can dispute our claims as national champions those years considering how badly we usually beat everybody we played. What's even more mind-blowing is that I seem to remember reading in Bacon's class that Yost liked to punt on 3rd down in case anything went wrong on the attempt. We put up 100+ on people working with two downs...

Output: Gets so excited about how Lebron is running the franchise in Cleveland and how they drafted Jones because he is like Napier who Lebron wanted last year and they trade him for 2 second round picks literally 10 seconds later.

Output: I would expect to read on a gawker site, stick to the sports analysis and leave the self-righteous social commentary to those idiots.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Title] As it turns out the U.S. is a much safer place for Middle [Body]

Output: Easterners than the Middle East, which is why a lot of them come here. UM is under no obligation to show the movie but also nobody is similarily obligated to view it, trying to stop others from watching something you find objectionable is censorship.

Output: the boat will not be rocked. Money talks and bullshit walks.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Sounds like some real positive changes for the athletic dept [Body]

Output: and its relationship with the student body. Sadly some of the reactions to these changes lead me to believe that some are more interested in a politically motivated witch hunt than seeing tangible benefits for the student population.

Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Sure Larry Page is richer [Body]

Output: but I have never heard him connected in anyway with UM athletics, Ross has made significant contributions specifically to the athletic department, I would be surprised if Page was even aware/gave a shit about this "scandal".


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Not sure why Les Miles is eliminated due to age [Body]

Output: Only two current coaches (Beamer and the guy at Troy) have been at their schools for 20 years, it's not really realistic to expect that kind of longetivity these days and you eliminate a lot of good candidates by just looking at the 50 and under crowd.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I'm pretty sure the media is looking for something a little bit [Body]

Output: more than just a statement that he does not have a concussion.

Output: so we don't know if Shane signed one or not.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] You do realize it was less than 48 hours from the incident [Body]

Output: /medical evaluation and the beginning of the press conference? That's not exactly a ton of time to get this kind of legal paperwork done, not to mention the interceding day was a Sunday during which I assume most of the relevant parties were not working.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Can't blame them for trying to get their ducks in a row [Body]

Output: before revealing confidential medical information, a HIPPA violation is the least thing the athletic department needs right now.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Glad to see ABC has its priorities in order [Body]

Output: would be a real shame to see them waste time on that little war over in Syria.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Just because you say it doesn't matter doesn't make it so [Body]

Output: If Shane had a concussion and was medically cleared then there is a major problem with the UM medical staff that needs to be corrected ASAP before more student athletes are put at risk. If Shane had a concussion and was not medically cleared on the sidelines and there was an orchestrated attempt to say he was cleared after the fact then there needs to be an independent investigation done and multiple heads need to roll. If Shane was never concussed and was medically cleared to return then this is all a mountain out of a molehill and Brady Hoke Hate Week needs to end. If Shane was never concussed and never cleared but there was still a coverup to say he was cleared then the same investigation needs to be done but obviously the potential legal ramifications are not going to be as severe. So yeah it does kind of matter if he was concussed or not.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] He was cleared by the medical staff before returning [Body]

Output: so are you saying the medical staff's protocol is deficient and not thorough? This is not like the Rich Rod situation vs USC where his QB was barfing all over the field and left in to throw a pass and then pulled later and eventually benched due to not passing the concussion test. By clearing him the medical staff is saying he does not have a concussion.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] If it turns out Morris was never concussed [Body]

Output: "It’s a brand," Howard said. "It’s like Coke. So, some people in the board room at Coke made some crazy decisions in the past to make Cherry Coke. But then the consumers didn’t like it too much. So, they had to go back and bring in some brilliant mind to get this thing back on track." Howard was probably referring to the failed New Coke, but his point was made. "That’s like Domino’s Pizza saying we’re going to put out pineapple pizza, and then they realize the consumer isn’t buying that," Howard continued. "So, what Michigan did is we brought in some brilliant mind, (athletic director) Dave Brandon, and he got this thing back on track." http://www.annarbor.com/sports/um-football/ex-michigan-great-desmond-howard-compares-failed-rich-rodriguez-era-to-cherry-coke/

Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Body] Lets keep in mind what Hoke did with the last of the class that Carr recruited. RR was the worst hire we could have made and in my opinion and we are still feeling the effects. RR had no idea how to recruit lineman. The o line play was horrible and has been for 2 years now. [Title]

Output: Lets keep in mind what Hoke


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Body] I still think that Dantonio is riding the wave of recruiting success that RR caused. When Carr recruited Michigan it was for two reasons, one was because of a belief that local boys would play harder because they grew up watching, and rooting for the wolverines, but he also knew that if they were playing for Michigan they weren't playing for Sparty or the Bucks. RR never got that and so a lot of kids that are now juniors and seniors on that team are on that team because RR never offered them. Granted kids like Gholston and Cousins were never going to go to Michigan because they grew up hating us but I would venture to guess that a lot of these kids would have been blue had we hired Hoke 6 years ago instead of RR. I think in the next 2 years, MSU will be back to being a 7 win school every year. All of that being said, yes I do believe that MD is the best thing that has happened to MSU since Saban. [Title]

Output: I still think that Dantonio


Input: [Date] 1 year 50 weeks ago [Body] Still the best recruiting pitch ever. [Title]

Output: "Our helmets have wings".


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Body] There is no mistaking that Denard was exactly what we needed over the last few years to try to recover from the utter destruction of every record that our school held so dear. That being said, however, I have been so excited to see this offense be built around someone who was a quarterback who could run as opposed to a running back who could throw. I love DRob and sincerely thank him for all that he did on and off the field but lets face it, he was not much of a threat on passing downs unless there were angels in the field with him. Devin seems to be a really good next step for our program and i am very excited for the future. [Title]

Output: I think DG is just what Dr. Borges ordered.


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] RR owned the Big East until he left. That was when Kelley started rocking it at Cinncy. As bad as RR was here he never lost to Kelley. ND only got the better of us last year because of turnovers. We gave up 6 TOs and only lost by a TD. When we gave up that many to Weiss in 08 at least he was able to capitilize in it. Kelley can't even manage to keep his team together. [Title]

Output: did you forget about his luck against RR?


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Year 4 anyway [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] But I am far more interested in what they do on the field. I get what you are looking for but lets be honest, a 5* kid who does nothing on the field is far worse than a 3* who rocks it. Kelvin Grady is a perfect example. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 43 weeks ago [Body] I had a conversation with a razorback fan the other day, where I pointed out that he was missing the bright side of the whole JLS debacle. He inquired what the bright side could be, and I replied "Well at least at this rate you won't have to worry about getting ready for a bowl game, so it frees up a lot of time to look for a new coach." He did not see the humor in the statement. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] If I were the HC they would run me out of town and the world's largest outcry would come to bring BH back. #1 or 2 no not this year. Helmet stickers yes. Helmet numbers no Alternate uniforms on the condition that they are used as either a recruiting tool or a method of surprise to throw off the other team. or both My coordinators........ duh.........no brainer........ the ones we got dude. As far as the whole what type of offense I would run I am smart enough to know that I know less than nothing about anything so I would defer all decisions to my oober smart staff and I would hide in my office, until the crowd outside, mutilated Dave Brandon for hiring me. Given my choice I'll keep running my machine at work and let the great men that are our beloved UM coaches, just do what they do. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] I recently talked to a die-hard UF fan who told me that we better get ready to hate Urban because he would "own us". I went ahead and told him that I already hate him and then reminded him that Urban is 0-1 against UM. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] At the end of the day, I think the only way to say if the punishment was adequate is to see if it happens again. If we are having this discussion again next year, we will know that it wasn't enough. On the other hand, I would hate to think that the team lost a winnable game over the defending national champs because of a mistake made by one person. [Title]

Output: I think that we will have to wait and see.


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] It took long enough. I was starting to think that this staff would never get anyone to commit for 2014. You really have to wonder if this staff knows what they're doing. Nearly half way through the 2013 class and they're just now now starting to focus in 2014. I mean REALLY. [Title]

Please don't take this the wrong way, that is not what I am hoping for, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone buried on the depth chart opted to transfer for more play time. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] I learned on my parents' Dodge Stratus. My first car was a 1991 Dodge Daytona with a five speed, but someone had managed to ruin first gear, so I spent the next four+ years starting in second. That $500 car with no first gear was remarkably reliable. I still miss it. I haven't had a standard since, but I'm hoping to get back to that the next time I need to buy a car. In the meantime, if I miss driving the way it was intended to be I go borrow my parents' Jeep Patriot. [Title]

Output: Well, I haven't cleared ownership


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I don't have children, but I have an unusual name. One of my relatives back in the 1800s was named Burrill. My mom's side of the family is packed full of very British names, and mine is one of them. You may occasionally find it as a last name, but it's incredibly uncommon as a first name these days. Those familiar with past presidents of the university may recognize it as the middle name of the gentleman for whom Angell Hall was named (James Burrill Angell); it's also the first name of the doctor after whom Crohn's disease was named (Dr. Burrill Bernard Crohn). There's probably a handful of first name Burrills scattered around the country, but I've never met one. I do enjoy having an unusual name. I don't mind having to spell it for people, though in situations where it doesn't matter -- for instance, when a barista asks for my name to write on the cup -- I'll go with my last name, which is a very common dictionary word that a surprising number of people still ask to spell when I present it as a name. I do have a town in Rhode Island (Burrillville) and a lake and town in Australia (Burrill Lake), but I haven't visited either one...yet. [Title]

Output: Mine is an old family name.

Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] It cost $500. It was a stick shift and the previous owner had let someone drive it who didn't know how to drive a stick, so first gear was destroyed. The other four gears worked fine, though, and the car ran very reliably for four years (until I ran a stop sign and got t-boned by a Buick SUV). Being an old two-door, the doors sagged terribly. Opening them required a lot of effort pulling them up before they'd swing out. I got used to it, but once when I took it in for service I ended up getting a call from the frustrated mechanic who couldn't get the door open. When I told him he had to lift it pretty hard, he said he'd pulled the tires off the ground and it still wouldn't open. Fortunately, he did get it open eventually. I really liked that car. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] There should be school leadership on site to shut that down immediately. On multiple occasions during local high school athletic events in my town I've seen administrators immediately step in and shut down insulting chants. (They've never been insulting to the degree of those in the OP, but they still cross the line.) The more I see, though, the more I get the impression that's not the norm. That's kind of sad. High school kids are going to say and do dumb things -- there ought to be leadership there to let them know when they cross the line. [Title]

Output: That's sad.

Output: That says a lot seeing as espn typically ranks the class when their 12 and never re-evaluates them before they graduate.


Input: [Date] 5 days 17 hours ago [Title] People need to stop worrying [Body]

Output: People need to stop worrying about the stickers and more about the play on the field. The coaches in the 90s felt the egos were getting out of control on the team so they ended the stickers, and shortly after we won the national championship. If Harbaugh now thinks the players need some stickers to motivate them to make plays then I'm all for them, because we have had a serious lack of playmakers for the past few years. It's all about psychology. Harbaugh played on teams with stickers, so if he thinks they make the slightest bit of difference, I want them.


Input: [Date] 5 days 17 hours ago [Title] Then have you seen enough of [Body]

Output: Then have you seen enough of every other player? Because no one on offense was any good last year. No one was set up to succeed with the coaching/playcalling we've had.

Output: We just need to look like a D1 football program again. Crush the bad teams, beat the good teams and beat or lose close to the very good teams and we'll get him. We already have a very good shot before Harbaugh's first game. He's CB'd ti OSU because he's in the Midwest and they just won the NC and picked up a couple Cass guys. Nothing more.

Output: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's only according to ESPN, which is... yeah. Basically meaningless.

Output: I don't know that Hoke had anything to do with any of that. He was very traditional.

Output: I think most people on this blog would write the same response if they didn't even look at the renderings. It's much better than any alternate we've had in my opinion. The only crazy thing is the undershirt. The uniform itself is actually pretty simple. I think it's pretty cool. You have to keep in mind that Louisville doesn't have half the history of UM.

Output: If the camps were illegal Harbaugh wouldn't be allowed to have them Gary...

Output: All Hoke's guys were highly rated as well. They just had shitty coaching. They're all starting with Harbaugh from day one and will receive the same amount of coaching from him, so there's no reason Morris won't thrive. He has a lot of raw talent, and per scouting reports was more polished than Gentry coming out of hs. All I'm saying is don't count anyone out yet.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I think you can tell from the [Body]

Output: I think you can tell from the initial returns you may have made a mistake coming here lol. I will say though, talking about it is pretty much always better than sweeping it under the rug. That's parenting.

Output: Do you recall Michigan ever seeing this many guys in person? These camps provide a unique level of exposure.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] Personally coach? Or just be [Body]

Output: Personally coach? Or just be in the general vicinity of while playing football. There's no way to have that personal of a touch with that many guys. I'd think it would be a little bittersweet for some of those kids since I'm sure they all want to be coached by Harbaugh.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Was really hoping you were [Body]

Output: Was really hoping you were annoying and asked him about Urbz or where DPJ is headed. You made the right call in taking the anti fanboy approach though.

Output: Also Erik Magnuson and Keith Washington. Still a rarity though.

Output: When did he say that? I only listen occasionally but last I heard about Harbaugh was that he loved all the camp moves because he was standing up to the sec and not backing down.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Think about all the players [Body]

Output: Think about all the players who would become available to the other power conferences if 5 recruits per SEC team were still available every year.

Output: Wasnt Davonte Neal a very highly regarded WR recruit? Surprised he was flipped to the other side.

Output: Eh.. Usually this is a sour grapes type of statement but in this case we truly could have had him if we wanted him. I don't think any recruits outside the state of Michigan will turn their head for this pickup by Sparty.

Output: I don't think there's any problem with flipping recruits.. I read that as "flipping" with quotes indicating sarcasm as in, "flipping" aka buying recruits.

Input: [Date] 29 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Brady Hoke [Body]

Output: Brady Hoke will be welcomed back just as Bump Elliot was. He is in a elite fraternity of Former Michigan head coaches. Time will heal this just give it a year or 2.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Maybe [Body]

Output: It could be because all 3 of those coaches were assistants when Harbaugh played at Michigan. Also Moeller was an assistant or head coach at Michigan from 69-77, 80-94. I respect the hell out of Brady Hoke but it is not required to knock Moeller down to build him up. It's a testament to Hoke he graduated 69/69 but how many players graduated in the 22 years Moeller was at Michigan. Hoke will be welcomed back the same way Bump Elliot was welcomed back.

Input: [Date] 32 weeks 7 hours ago [Title] I kept having the same [Body]

Output: I kept having the same problem on the regular app. It became incredibly annoying with it happening every few seconds. But then I switched to MgoBlogHD and have not had it happen once in the last week. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Lately [Body]

Output: Lately I'm of the position that the S&C change has made a huge difference. The 2011 Sugar Bowl teams main players had worked with Mike Barwis for 3 years and even after the change Martin and Molk trained with Barwis pre-draft. It appears imho that every year we are removed from Barwis the more we are pushed around. There has to be an issue when the Minnesota's knock you off the ball and impose their will. Each year with Wellman the problem appears more prominent imo. Please don't get me wrong Hoke needs to go for the failures on the field but Wellman was also Hoke's guy. Just a thought.


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

Output: 1:14am posbang. Yippee now kill northwestern later.


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Well [Body]

Output: Well he was the head coach of the lions in 2000, even had a winning record and was an assistant LB coach with bears in 02-03 so far from 20 years. Back in the day Moeller was a good coach. Even the main players on the 97 team were Moeller's recruits. I believe he could if his heart was in it.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Simply [Body]

Output: Simply I will support the team. As much it pains me I thought Rich deserved 5 years. As much as I wouldn't mind Brady being shown the door, I feel he deserves 5 years. Bo once said you do not know what kind of coach you have till they have been given 5 years. Sorry if that's not word for word but I don't have time to search for the exact quote.

Output: Serenity now, serenity now, serenity now serenity now, Serenity now, Serenity now, Serenity now, Serenity now


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: All this without graduating one player he recruited. He should have had 19 & 20 year olds competing with Wisconsin's 22 & 23 year olds. I would take a close win even a basketball on grass 67-65 win rather than be shutout for the first time in 30 years ending the longest streak. I'm sorry to have wasted this space. Nothing I could say could make you realize we made a mistake a Rich is a good coach.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Sorry [Body]

Output: Meant for pdgoblue25


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Also [Body]

Output: We will never know how he would have closed out the 2010 class. For all we know he could have brought in a few offensive lineman. As for your point above about Illinois we won that game and the same for the other close wins which sure look better than losing by 31, 16, 16 to ND, Utah and Minnesota.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Title] In three and out [Body]

Output: In three and out it states we offered him a 3yr 275k deal and wouldn't match the 285k WVU offered. That's according to John U Bacon.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Are you sure [Body]

Output: Are you sure on the year? I'm pretty sure 2009 was the year Tate threw a touchdown pass to Greg Mathews with like 7 seconds left to beat ND by 4. We lost to them in 2008.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Would like to [Body]

Output: Would like to but I have banned myself from attending games vs Minnesota since the 2 times I have were 1986 and 2005 both losses. So no more games vs Minnesota for me ever.

Output: Deep depression


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Needs more [Body]

Output: Needs more planes designed by Clarence "Kelly" Johnson besides the Electra for a very successful aero alum. Could use U-2, f-104 unfortunately their are no flying SR-71's, that would be cool. Get all those skunk works planes he helped develop for a flyby. Still that is a very impressive combination of planes hope the weather is permissible.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Also the suspended KC game [Body]

Output: Also the suspended game KC was down 2 to the Indians in the bottom of the 10th, down 4-2 so 3 outs away from another loss for KC.


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I would take my [Body]

Output: I would take my dad who is suffering from malignant melanoma stage 3. With taking him to his interferon treatments and having all his right auxiliary lymph nodes removed I have been trying to find a way to spend one more Saturday at the big house with my dad.


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Loved him in Happy Gillmore [Body]

Output: Loved him in Happy Gillmore just watched it last night. May he rest in peace and may his family find peace in celebrating the life he lived.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I'd feel worse for him staying on the Kings. Both franchises have been awful on the court, but the Sixers have a (very tenuous) path forward, which Nik could potentially be a part of. I don't see any evidence at all of such a path with Sacramento. [Title]

Output: I'd feel worse for him


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Yeah, I dunno, I'd probably decide on "better franchise" based on something along the lines of their respective chances of being late-round playoff teams in the next five or so years. By that metric, I'd go with the Sixers. Who could be all means continue being terrible. But given their assets -- lottery 5s and otherwise -- I think they def have a better chance of breaking through than do the Kings. [Title]

Output: Yeah, I dunno, I'd probably


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Body] The occurance of disasters is an excellent prompt to donate, and I also encourage everyone who can to do so. I'd also encourage everyone to do some research about where their money is going and how it's likely to be used. Specifically, I'd strongly encourage givers to resist the urge in give in such a way that their money is earmarked for Nepalese disaster relief. The bottleneck in providing immediate disaster relief is generally not money (as we saw in post-earthquake Haiti, post-Sandy NY, post-tsunami Japan, etc.), and making generalized donations now can help improve the responses available for future disasters. Along these lines, Felix Salmon, in the aftermath of Sandy, made what I thought was a strong case for giving to MSF rather than the Red Cross: "Which isn’t to say that donating money is a bad idea, when disasters hit. But it is to say that donating money to the Red Cross might not be the best use of your dollars. My advice is to give instead to MSF, or an organization like it, which is dealing with disasters every day of the year. That gave them the experience ability to respond quickly when disaster struck in the USA — and it also means that if your money would be put to more urgent use somewhere else, like Zimbabwe or Honduras or Chad, then that’s where it will go. We should spend as much money as is needed here — but don’t force the matter and earmark $117 million for Sandy relief, when no one knows whether even the Red Cross thinks it can sensibly spend that much. The Red Cross didn’t need to promise to spend all that money on Sandy and Sandy alone, but it made that promise anyway." [Title]

Output: The occurance of disasters is


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Body] This point tends to get carried too far. No reasonable idea of usefulness would reduce to immediate and specific vocational preparation. Case in point: the training that a good student receives in a good philosophy department (cultivating, namely, the ability to think precisely and to manage complex ideas) can be of enormous value, both in a variety of employment contexts and in the general practice of citizenship. [Title]

Input: [Date] 19 weeks 5 days ago [Body] So in otherwords: you like the aspect of the uniform that looks very much like a million other uniforms Michigan basketball has worn, but you're not a huge fan of the glaring dick-cumberbun that's been vomited onto the shorts? To me, that would mean that I don't like the uniform. [Title]

Output: So in otherwords: you like


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I never played past high school, but I did manage to accumulate a fair amount of joint injury: a torn ACL/meniscus and four subsequent knee surgeries and continued wear left me unable to do anything ballistic with my legs at a young age, and I already have a fair amount of arthritis in that knee and same-side hip, both of which I assume will have to get replaced at some point going forward. I know that this pails in comparison to the joint injury/pain that a lot of guys go through, but I say it to establish the fact that I can appreciate the costs of joint damage. That said, I'm grateful that, aside from getting my bell rung a few times, I never accumulated much head trauma. I just see a qualitative difference between brain injury and bodily injury; bodily injury can alter your life, making it inconvenient and painful (in ways that I acknowledge can be pretty awful), but brain injury can fundamentally change who you are. And this is what I, and I assume others, find so frightening about the risk from concussions. I could see myself with full information trading a few years of playing a sport that I love for a future of moderate physical disability. I could never see myself making that trade for a future of middle-aged advanced dementia. [Title]

Output: Head injury vs. joint injury


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 5 days ago [Body] It's interesting to see this outcome after reading a really fascinating Grantland piece recently on advanced defensive metrics: http://grantland.com/features/department-of-defense/. Among other things, the article makes the case for Chris Paul as the best perimeter defender in the association. [Title]

Output: It's interesting to see this


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Honest, straight-faced answer: I would give zero fucks if I was largely clueless about where guys would end up before they committed somewhere. I would care more about losing scouting content, but that content doesn't seem to me to be dependent on the element of the business model in question. [Title]

Input: [Date] 21 weeks 2 days ago [Body] With respect go the question of whether anyone would pay him a cent: possibly, though at the margin, certainly fewer. my broader, more tangential point: the world would not be a poorer place if some of these hypothetical guys were to empty their contact lists of 16-year-olds and go back to selling insurance or whatever. [Title]

Output: With respect go the question of whether anyone


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 2 days ago [Body] The 'certain definition of value' I referenced is the one that you presuppose: the one that centers entirely on the guy running the site. A piece of recruiting info also carries value for (at least some) of the people who absorb it, whether or not they pay. It also carries some (possibly negative) value for the players/coaches/families from which it was extracted. [Title]

Output: The 'certain definition of value' I referenced is


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Under a certain definition of 'value', yes. Also, I'm not entirely convinced by my own argument, but I'm much less convinced by your fact/opinion distinction, either with respect to its logical structure or its application to statements about what recruits will do. [Title]

Output: Under a certain definition of 'value', yes.Also,


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I dunno, man. I have a really hard time swallowing the notion of statements of fact about the world as property. Whatever the legal framework, items of prose seem to me to be qualitatively different from kernels of knowledge, and it seems to me that the latter can't properly 'belong' to anybody. Granted, there's a collective action problem here; if everybody gets info for free, then nobody gets paid to collect it, and everybody gets less recruiting bits. But I feel confident in saying that the socially optimal level of recruit pestering is way lower than what goes on now. [Title]

Output: I dunno, man. I have a really hard time swallowing


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I could be mistaken, but my impression of the twitterverse is that you could find a cure for cancer, and you'd still get a dozen people telling you that you're a vagina that rhymes with "punt". Which is not to say that York hasn't earned some vitriol. [Title]

Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Body] The success of autodidacts doesn't mean that schools are useless. And I think we may have to agree to disagree on the interpretation of my experience; in my view, there is vanishingly little danger here, and the use of (very modest) university resources to encourage students to be less shitty than I was at times in undergrad seems reasonable. [Title]

Output: The success of autodidacts


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Body] So if I'm Roma, and I'm kind of bummed out that my ethnic identity is used as a shorthand for fucking people over (an association that has been used as a pretext for my ancestors' systematic extermination at various points in history), I should realize that I'm part of the problem. Got it. [Title]

Output: So if I'm Roma, and I'm kind


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Body] The thing with a simple "be considerate" message is that many people (and I would place my 20-year-old self firmly in this camp) have no idea that some of the things they're saying actually are deeply incosiderate. I would regularly call things retarded, and I would regularly admonish my friends to not be such fags when they wouldn't want to go out in the cold and such. I don't do this anymore, not because I'm such a better person now, but because I realize now that I was being demeaning and shitty. [Title]

Output: The thing with a simple "be


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Body] In requesting that people not say certain things because other people find them hurtful and demeaning, the university isn't providing a nudge to exercise self-control so much as it's letting people know that some of those things actually are hurtful and demeaning to others. I used to say a lot of things in friendly conversation that I now consider socially unacceptable and, with the exception of the occcasional slip up, rarely use. It's not because I'm so much more in possession of myself, but because I now realize in ways that I didn't before that I was kind of being an asshole. [Title]

Output: Self-control vs. understanding of context


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Body] There is an enormous gap between 1) censoring ideas, and 2) requesting that people be civil to each other. The notion that my ability to formulate and openly argue for ideas is somehow compromised because Big Brother has asked that I not call anyone a fag is...not particularly compelling. [Title]

Output: Free thought


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Belle Waring: "98% of what people angrily claim is “Political Correctness” is just manners. Politeness. If something I were saying at a dinner party offended another guest and my host explained why, I would stop saying that thing, in all likelihood. I myself used to call things “retarded” all the time when I was a kid, and I carried it into adulthood, and then people on the internet made it clear that they found this hurtful and demeaning, so I stopped. I explained to my children, I have a left-over bad habit in that I will occasionally call something retarded and it’s not an appropriate thing to say; will you please correct me when I do it? Thinking about what I wanted my children to say helped me here. Likewise, although I don’t know that I said anything particularly unpleasant about it ever, I was comparatively ignorant about issues facing trans people until some years back. Does this make me angry because the word “cisgender” exists now? No, because I’m not an asshole." [Title]

Output: An onerous task: don't be an asshole


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I'd actually disagree about Westwood village being awesome. It's kind of like a scaled-up South U, except with more douchebags in Maseratis and 50-year-olds with plastic faces. Other things of note: CTools is a lot better than UCLA's course computing website, and people get ticketed for jaywalking on campus all the time, which totally sucks. Let the negative recruiting commence! [Title]

Input: [Date] 25 weeks 1 day ago [Body] As a current UCLA grad student, that is absolutely true. I went to the Oregon game this year, and most of the stadium seemed to not completely realize that a football game was happening. The campus in general seems pretty detached from football. That said, the university is not without amenities... [Title]

Input: [Date] 25 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Article is paywalled, but you can get the gist from the abstract: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pam.20287/abstract Auto insurance 'redlining' is an empirically verifiable thing. To your initial point: this isn't to say that insurance companies are extracting excess profits from people in affected neighborhoods. But it does demonstrate that a lot of (potential) drivers take a huge hit on premiums through no fault of their own. [Title]

Input: [Date] 26 weeks 1 day ago [Body] This raises an interesting point over what counts as "political". I'm assuming that you're objecting to the comments on race and racism because they cross the no-politics line. But I'd argue that discussing the stability of Grosse Pointe's elite status without acknowledging that the form of segregation from which it draws its status represents one of the biggest moral failings of 20th Century America is, at the very least, a tad political.

Input: [Date] 27 weeks 13 hours ago [Body] The point is that "grown men", as used in the initial comment, refers to the stage of life development at which dudes are likely to be not so into being led around on a string. Yes, 22yos are often asked to bear tremendous military burdens, and we should all solemnly introduce this point in as many threads as possible. But the relevant sense of "grown men" has a lot more to do with not getting care packages from mom, making solo trips to Bed, Bath and Beyond, etc. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Title] MRI's - devils advocate [Body]

Output: Brian - I wish you well with the ACL surgery, if/when it should happan down the road, and good luck with the rehab. There is a difference in who you see in terms of specialist for the confidence in clinical exam and ordering expesive imaging studies. A good orthopedist can feel an ACL tear with his knee exam better, because he does the exam more frequently and has a better reference experience. Whereas, a primary care FP or internist will have less frequent experience in doing the knee exam, because he dealing with a wider range of patients with different problems. If everyone got an MRI for any knee injury, the waiting time for MRI scans would much longer, and the costs much higher, since you would be scanning alot of normal knees. Moral of the story, if you are worried about the knee, get thee to an orthopod first, since he will be more likely to pick up an abnormality on physical exam, and you can rest assured he will get the scan done in timely fashion. I agree about going to St. Joe's vs. UM, despite having trained at UM for medicine, St. Joe's has a lot more equipment capacity for its size. UM is using its MRI scanners alot of different purposes. I know this sounds wishy-washy, but it it is reasonable standard of care.

Output: Are you a lawyer or a sideline pundit?


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Another view [Body]

Output: While this interpretation does not follow computer algorithms, Michigan's drop in the rankings may have something to do with not covering the betting spread, which was 8.5 - 9.5 points. So Michigan won, but not convincingly and OSU appeared stronger than Nebraska, which Michigan beat handily the previous week. I wonder how many judge pundits use a method involving cover - not cover record, instead of win- loss ratio. I would have to go back to records to compare MIchigan record, but they have had some close games. If nothing else, our punter needs some practice catching snaps.


Input: [Date] 3 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Fwiw steve's cancer was an islet cell cancer [Body]

Output: Most cancers of the pancreas are an carcinoma cell type and have a dismal prognosis. Steve Jobs had an islet cell cancer of the pancreas, which overproduced a gut hormone like glucagon or insulin. And is not so quickly lethal. Sad to hear about his death, since he has been such power influence in all our lives. It is ironic to think th web began on NeXT computer at CERN


Input: [Date] 3 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Polls are fine for the moment!But the real reward is in the path [Body]

Output: Good polls are more a symbol of expectations. For me, the pathway to Big 10 championship is more enticing. While every Big 10 game is valuable, I think most people are waiting for four key games: 1) MSU game - to determine bragging rights for the state of Michigan, 2)Nebraska game - not very popular, but beating Nebraska is essential to winning the Legends division. 3) the Ohio game - it just feels good to make Jim Tressel eat his words. 4) If we can pull it all together - Big 10 championship game in Indianapolis - probably playing Wisconsin, unless they make a mistake. Also the Illinois game will be interesting after the triple overtime win last year. Go Blue!


Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Stay Hungry - indeed! [Body]

Output: It's good to know that Michigan got noticed by coaches and journalists after the Notre Dame game, since ND has a potent offense, when they are not using it to shoot themselves in the foot. I will be happy for MIchigan to linger at this rank for the next three games. While I respect SDSU they are not seriously considered by pundits, and it will give Michigan fans a chance to see what we might look like on offense and defense in a couple years. While I like EMU as a small college, it is a couple quantum leaps from the Big Ten, and it will serve to only expose any glaring deficiencies and a chance for the offense to recover from the ND and build their confidence until they meet a Big 10 oppenent. Northwestern without Dan Persa should obviously be less a threat on offense than with him, but I would like to see us play NW with Dan Persa in order to develop our defense. MSU is the first serious opponent in the Big 10 that would earn us a leap in respect amongst others and ourselves. I am tired of losing to MSU the last three years, and our defense needs to show us they can handle Kirk Cousins and Edwin Baker effectively. It can serve to show the defense, where we can meet the challenge, and out of respect to MSU, Kirk Cousins and Baker will be more popular in the NFL draft someday, when they met a strong Michigan team - win or lose. Minnesota has not been traditionally a serious threat, and right now, I hope Coach Kill gets well soon. Right now - 4 B1G 10 teams are in the top 25 - Wisconsin, Nebraska, MSU and Ohio, and three other teams have received votes - Michigan, Northwestern, and Penn State. I would like to see 6 B1G 10 teams in the top 25 sometime this year, if the football gods deem them worthy, I wish a restful and quite 9/11 to all!

Input: [Date] 3 years 46 weeks ago [Title] Fine Review! [Body]

Output: Fine Review from UFR as always! I would be interested in a chart looking at Denard's performance during the first half, when conditions were relatively dry versus the second half (quarter), when conditions were decidedly wetter. Perhaps it would be worthwhile diving that second half into two periods, one before the first lightening delay and the second afterwards - granted, the numbers are small, but Denard seemed to be more inaccurate during the wet conditions. I will nitpick about one video - where you attempt to demonstrate a run by Toussaint for 11 yards, but it actually shows WMU offensive play for several yards againsts Michigan's defense. You can find the correct video further up the page, but it would be nice if you could fix it.


Input: [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Well done scrimmage review ! [Body]

Output: Not that we would expect anything less. If only we could bring GERG Robinson back to coach the scout team for the defense, it might raise morale for the scrimmage! But fantasies aside, punting should be less valuable against Western Michigan. Against Notre Dame, I would hope a little trickery would not be out of character. One begins to appreciate Tate Forcier's ability to pooch kick on demand. I would not expect many cards of strategy to shown during the Western Michigan game; instead, just establishing fundamentals. See Denard run, See Denard pass and complete, see Denard fake run and pass, see Denard hand off to Shaw and run. A boring west coast pro offense for Denard would be a good change of pace. As for the defense - can we get some magic dust to activate Will Campbell as a pass rusher and run tackler. Just a thought!

Output: I've always been partial to section 20 around row 40, where I have had the privilege to sit and watch Michigan footballs for a long while. That is the virtue of Michigan stadium - having a decent view of the field almost anyplace!


Input: [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Sorry to see a good receiver go! [Body]

Output: There are times when I would appreciate something more informative than a few terse lines, that only announce the departure of a former team member. I wish Jeron Stokes my best, and hope he lands on his feet someplace else. In the meantime, I hope everything is okay on State street.


Input: [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Title] a tough road to hoe - [Body]

Output: Speaking as a physician, who has gone down this road - the first two years are usually preclinical sciences, which are done in blocks with exams for current subjects all occurring on the same day. See the michigan medical school site for the schedule of subjects. I welcome Heiko to the site, but he will be quite busy with preclinical subjects of study for the next two years. Depending on his subject for his Ph.D. additional coursework may be required, not to mention time in the lab and library. Note to Brian - I hope you will keep an open mind as to other volunteer pundits. Mgoblog readers have come to expect in-depth posts with a quantitative, statistical flavor. Your paternalistic tone is not unexpected, but I think you find in the clinic as well in real life, it is not lightly received. Not that you should go out and hire Greg Robinson for witty defensive commentary, since we probably are glad to be done with him. As to USMLE exams, there are three parts to the USMLE - which begins with step 1 usually at the end of the first two years, testing the preclinical sciences. Prior to 1994, there were two sets of medical boards - NBME and FLEX, which had slightly different schedules of exams. I look forward to your commentary and your insights.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] Respect JoePa's privacy please [Body]

Output: As a physician, I wish you wouldn't post an x-ray image, that seems to insinuate the nature of JoePa's injuries. He seems to be doing quite well in terms of function. I wish him all the best in terms of a speedy recovery. Let us be thankful for all his efforts as Penn State's coach.


Input: [Date] 4 years 7 hours ago [Title] from a different era perhaps OT [Body]

Output: As a member from that earlier era from the 1970's, I remember that when I rowed crew, which is no less physically demanding than football, we had and still do have freshman crews for the first year and then varsity crews thereafter. Football also had a freshman team and varsity/JV teams but only the varsity played on saturday. Often the freshman teams would scrimmage unofficially, but that was held elsewhere. I think having a freshman year of ineligibility would be good, if done consistently throughout the NCAA, not just within select conferences. For lineman and defensive players, the freshman year allows the player's body to mature and develop with weight training. The respective squad can begin to learn the playbooks, so they can be effective the next year, and no make so many rookie mistakes. I don't think you need to increase the number of scholarships, so long as things are done consistently. Also, watching the freshman games might be extra source of minor revenue, especially for major rivalries, as a sign of what is to come in the future.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 days ago [Title] It's probably wiser for RichRod to Caddy than actually play golf [Body]

Output: Consider all the kibitzers, who would jump on any poor shot or error Rich Rod could make. I just hope his friend has a decent day playing golf. Also no TinCup moments, such as breaking a golf iron over his knee, or refusing to lay up for a green surrounded by bunkers or water. I know it is Rich Rod is in season for punditry, but I do wish him well, since he did bring UM Football Denard Robinson and an exciting offense to watch the last couple years. I just wish he had picked a better defensive coordinator and recruited better for the defense.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 days ago [Title] Kind of reminds me of Larry Bird playing at Indiana State! [Body]

Output: Hoosiers can be quite loyal to Indiana, and it does not suprise me that Gunnar Kiel stays withing state. If he does well there, he might end up at the Indianapolis Colts for the NFL. Remember Bob Griese many years ago went to Purdue and helped lead them to the Rose Bowl and Big 10 Championships. I don't remember anytime recently when IU has been a factor for the Big 10 championship in football. No doubt recently IU has been a lower tier team for football, but perhaps Kiel's early commitment to IU will attract other good talent there. Recently, the lower tier of the Big 10 has included IU, Purdue, and Minnesota, and perhaps Illinois. It would be nice for the Big 10, if everyone could raise their quality of game, and perhaps change the current pecking order. Maybe OSU will be more humble, if they have poor recruiting season the next couple years, and thus lose some of their smugness. Also I would love to see Indiana beat Notre Dame!


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 days ago [Title] slightly OT - who attends the BBQ at the Big House? [Body]

Output: Slightly OT - I was curious who attends the BBQ at the Big House? Presumably, it is a private affair, but in addtion to michigan football staff, possibly current football players and committed and potential recruits, do any other michigan staff or journalists or general public attend? My simple google searchs don't reveal any images or videos immediately available. Are any public photos released? I assume recruits arrive at Schembechler Hall and then walk over to stadium via the practice field and possibly the locker room. There is presumably some michigan security to prevent unwanted guests. Just curious, and trying to put things in context.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Title] oops, my mistake! [Body]

Output: Sorry for mistaking SJSU for SDSU, my fault!


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Title] glad to see him find a new program! [Body]

Output: Too bad he has to sit out one year per NCAA rules, it would have been interesting to see play against Michigan this year. Despite his flakiness in recent past, I think still has good potential as a QB, and hope he can turn his career around at SDSU.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Title] Next questions- national anthem [Body]

Output: Given that Terrelle Pryor's stock value and eligibility for the NFL supplemental draft seems in doubt, the next question will be for 2011-2012, will Pryor need to sing the USA national anthem, i.e. the Star Spangled Banner, or the Canadian national anthem, i.e. O' Canada.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 days ago [Title] My pregame ritual [Body]

Output: Brunch/Breakfast at Zingerman's. A stroll down to Sam's Store for the bandana of the day. Walk down Hill Street and State Street to check out the frat's. Drumline show is great, when there is time. check out the new commemorative bricks. Say a prayer for Maize 'n Blue, then head on in to find our seats and check out pregame warm-ups. Please ignore the other side until it matters!


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] Sigh! [Body]

Output: Let's get this petulant nostalgia behind us. I would be interested in ten years to hear from Coaches Mattison and Hoke about the scene that they found. However, confidence and other intangibles make a big difference, and GERG seems to be on the short end of the stick there. Let us look forward to better times and brighter fortunes. No comment on the music, Mr. Misopogen, but far be it for me to rain on your parade. Cheers and good luck!


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Addendum - no malware warnings on mobile Safari [Body]

Output: P.S. - No malware warnings on my iPodTouch with mobile Safari with iOS version 4.2.1 - Not sure if they access the google malware database. While Safari, Firefox and Chrome all use Webkit on Mac OS X, this does not seem like a Webkit bug, rather a Google malware database effect.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Safari too! [Body]

Output: I am getting malware warnings on mgoblog.com with Safari 4.1.3 with mac OS X 10.4.11 on old iMac LCD with PowerPC G4 chip. Since I don't have an intel chip, I threw caution to the win and turned off the warning and posted here. I get similar warnings with Safari on Mac OS X 10.6.8 with intel chips. When you click through the warning to Google entry for the mgoblog.com site, it seems benign. good luck!


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Vacate wins vs. Vacate points [Body]

Output: I don't buy Mandel's argument that vacating the 2010 wins for OSU is sufficient. While Jim Tressel may have made a critical judgement error, several OSU players should have ineligible for the Michigan game and the Sugar Bowl. While rewriting game history might seem strange, if you are going to vacate the win, why not vacate the points and other statistics related to the ineligible players, especially T. Pryor. T. Pryor has been flagrant in his disregard to NCAA rules, selling memorabilia, and then dropping out from his senior year, and run off to the NFL, assuming some team will pick him in the supplemental draft. While punishing OSU probably should include a post-season ban for a couple seasons and the loss of several scholarships. I would think some direct penalties involving the players involved is warranted.


Input: [Date] 4 years 10 weeks ago [Title] 2012 will be better, but play it cool! [Body]

Output: Not worried about ESPN's rating. Middle of the pack or better is fine for the first year with Coach Hoke. It is a rebuilding first year. The defense has a long way to go, given recent history. I am not worried about the offense, but they will need to adjust to the new style. Now if we can just rely on kicker to score the occasional field goal. That would be a good change. That would taste great, and be less filled with ambivalence.


Input: [Date] 4 years 10 weeks ago [Title] worthy memory for a classy guy [Body]

Output: great idea to remember Lloyd Carr!


Input: [Date] 3 years 12 weeks ago [Body] I came to the comments page of this article specifically to make sure someone called that to attention. A solid ref slaying, indeed. [Title]

Output: Yep


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Even though he has been really excellent all year, I did not imagine he would be that highly recognized nationally. I am super impressed. [Title]

Output: Agreed


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Body] Denard in a Perry the Platypus shirt... very, very pleased with this. [Title]

Output: OMG


Input: [Date] 3 years 32 weeks ago [Body] I went to the Iowa game and was underwhelmed by the crowd noise factor. In general, it did not live up to the Kinnick hype I had always heard. But... on the final set of downs, it was pretty nuts and I remember thinking on the 4th down play, "well... ain't no one calling PI right now," as the whole Iowa sideline swept out onto the field and I could not even spot a referee to see what their reaction might be. It felt like no one would have even noticed if a flag was thrown, it all happened so fast. [Title]

Output: crazy kinnick?
