Input: [Date] 3 years 46 weeks ago [Title] In sec 19 row 73 [Body]

Output: Yep I heard that my thought afterwords is maybe the ND fans thought we were only going to play 3 quarters again. Was very great to sing "It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine" after the Roundtree TD.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] I say Hopkins [Body]

Output: I would love to see Shaw reach his potential but I'm not holding my breath. The thing about Hopkins is he may not break the big one but he seems to be able to get the 5+ yards consistently. I also have always liked Smith and his work ethic I just don't see him as an every down back, I like the way he runs/blocks/catches though so I could see him getting a good amuont of playing time regardless of who wins the job.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] Good for him [Body]

Output: Always gave 100% and was exactly what you wanted as a punt returner sure hands, good decision making and break away speed, some punt returners have 1 or 2 of those but Breaston had all 3. It has been cool watching him develop into a very good receiver in the pros.

Input: [Date] 5 years 31 weeks ago [Body] I'm going to have to take some blame on this. I took Big Ben out of my fantasy team and replaced him with Henne. My roster has been restored so hopefully that will silence Tacopants for the future. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Body] I did catch it on the youtubes (lousy video of it on a person's tv, so not worth linking) after I posted. It didn't look like Fedor was hurt too bad though. Just the cut on the nose and the fact that his nose was most likely broken. That's all in a days work for him. [Title]

Output: I did catch it on the


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Body] I saw Fedor live in Vegas a few years ago when Pride tried to break into the US market. He slaughtered Mark Coleman, which was great because Coleman is a buckeye. I have a major problem with CBS though Despite the west-coast feed being re-broadcast, they didn't get the Fedor fight in the two-hour recording window, so my recording cut off just before the fight. I guess that's what youtube is for. Viva la interwebs!!! [Title]

Output: Saw Fedor live...


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Body] I'm already nearly a shut-in. The rain only reinforces it. I will say that last weekend was very tough for me. Upper 70's and sunny vs. watching the debacle. The weather lost and so did we :( [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 41 weeks ago [Body] This will be my first time back in Ann Arbor for a football game in far too many years. I can't wait to see how the changes to the Big House look in person.

He's still a Wolverine and deserves respect for sticking it out through the rough times and doing a great job helping Tate and Denard prepare. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 43 weeks ago [Body] If you have an issue with the cost of Sunday Ticket, about midway through the season, DirecTV usually offers a cheaper "buy the rest of the season" package. I have been a subscriber for a long time and I absolutely love it. They have a lot of added features like a player tracker for fantasy players that pops up a message on your screen when player does something point-worthy. Plus there is the red zone channel and the game mix so you can watch 8 games at once. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Bells brewery [Body]

Output: I've been waiting all week for this thread. After years of reading these threads and hearing about Bells beer I was ecstatic to find out that it was coming to MD and so far it has not disappointed. I sampled two hearted at my liquor store and took home a 6 of Oberon and Amber ale. Delicious. Smooth too. I'm so pumped to have a go-to brew for every Michigan football game. Any other Bells favorites? What do they role out with in the fall and winter? The arrival of Bells has been pretty big around here this week, heavily advertised at stores and they sponsored a block party/tap takeover thing outside of my office.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Here's a solution with a [Body]

Output: Here's a solution with a Michigan Football story... So when I was 10 I was fortunate enough to be able to go out to Pasadena for the '97 Rose Bowl. After eating dinner at Wolf Gang Puck, I woke up on gameday with a stomach bug that had me puking up Four Seasons pancakes. Regardless, we ventured to the Rose Bowl to take in the pre-game festivities. After a while the stomach thing got worse and I had to lie down. My dad, who was always full of weird solutions to things, went around to tailgaters to get two cups and some Coke. Apparently the first tailgate he found with Coke made him proove his allegiance to the Wolverines before helping him out - luckily he succeeded. You pour the coke back and forth until its flat and drink it flat (its the syrup I think). By the time kick-off rolled around I was good to go...short story long, flat coke works.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 3 days ago [Title] As a Maryland resident (who [Body]

Output: As a Maryland resident (who grew up in NJ) I feel like I should point out that Marylanders are oddly obsessed with their state flag. I'll admit it, it's cool looking, but that's why those jerseys exist.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I had Opus wine at a [Body]

Output: I had Opus wine at a Christmas dinner a couple years ago which goes for like $250 a bottle and I can honestly say I prefer Yellowtail which is like $12 for a double-bottle. The Opus wine was almost too smooth, it had no flavor.

Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Je'Ron Stokes? [Body]

Output: Didn't Je'Ron Stokes switch his commitment from Tenn to UM on NSD? If I recall correctly, he was like the 8th ranked WR in the class or something like that.

Output: The Harbaugh Difference.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Title] So does this mean the qoute [Body]

Output: So does this mean the qoute from yesterdays "Searchbits: XII" about guys like Mora, Stoops, and Mullen being out of it isnt true?


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Title] He said the tweet about [Body]

Output: He said the tweet about Belicheck was a joke he assumed everyone would get. Also said he expected the news to come out over the weekend and owned up to being wrong but stands by his info.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I don't mean to kill the [Body]

Output: I don't mean to kill the positive vibes...but I used to listen to the Herd regularly and remember him making a similar claim about Floridas last coaching search. He said his sources were telling him that a big name, current HC, not coordinator, was going to take the job...and then they hired Muschamp.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I could be wrong...but wasn't [Body]

Output: I could be wrong...but wasn't the whole bidding war for Cam Newtons services between Auburn and MSU? I'm not sure if that's an indictment on Mullen or just MSU but if true it definitely seems sketchy.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Title] What about Sumlin? I know [Body]

Output: What about Sumlin? I know he's not on the same level of the coaches you just named but I guess that would depend on the writer's definition of "Tier 1". Wasn't there some story about Brandon interviewing Sumlin in '07? (probably BS).


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Solid Hire. He would have [Body]

Output: Solid Hire. He would have been my favorite Plan-C type hire.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 44 min ago [Title] Because the current coach [Body]

Output: Because the current coach isn't working? "Plan C" - at least in my opinion - just means unproven. Tressel, Stoops, Gundy, Chip Kelly - all examples of guys who could be considered "Plan C" type hires.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] I've been saying this for the [Body]

Output: I've been saying this for the last two days...everytime one of the big name program HC jobs opens up, the fans/media speculate about A-list candidates and it almost never happens. I think a lot of UM fans should come to terms with the idea of landing a "Plan C" level guy and they should be OK with that. Harbaugh would be ideal, but he's not the only guy out there who can lead this program back to prominence.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 4 hours ago [Title] Here we go again...Hugh [Body]

Output: Here we go again...Hugh Freeze agrees to an extension and raise to stay at OM.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 4 hours ago [Title] That's what they said about [Body]

Output: That's what they said about Texas, Florida, and USC and neither we're able to land their top choice. I'm not saying it can't happen...it's just that history tells us otherwise. We'll find out soon enough.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 hours ago [Title] I would love Harbaugh or [Body]

Output: I would love Harbaugh or Miles, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Whenever these big name jobs open up people speculate all of these top coaches moving around and it never happens. Typically, a HC from a lower level FBS, middle of the road P5/AQ, or big name coordinator lands the gig. So I could easily see UM bringing in a Chuck Martin or McElwain type and I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] Patterson and Whittingham is [Body]

Output: Patterson and Whittingham is just my non-Harbaugh wishlisht. I don't think either of them are coming. RE: McElwain - I think fans to come to terms with the idea of neither Harbaugh, Miles, Mullen, or any other candidate in those top two tiers coming to UM. You look at the hot coaching candidates these days like Sumlin, Briles, Mullen, Gundy...instead of trying to pry them from their current/established position, go find the next guy whose on his way. So when you look at that crop of candidates, guys like McElwain, Chuck Martin, Frost, Herman, Doeren...I prefer McElwain. I like that he learned from Saban and has CSU trending upward. I like that his offense fits the current personnel and that it's effective. CSU's offense was at the bottom of the barrel and after one transition year they've been top 20 the past two seasons. I think he's projecting to be a successful coach in college football.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 22 hours ago [Title] I'm getting the same pole [Body]

Output: I'm getting the same pole (that's what she said). If you eliminate the Harbaugh's I would love to see Gary Patterson or Kyle Whittingham. Although a Miles/Pelini reunion in Ann Arbor sounds appealing also. Of all the "plan c" type candidates I like McElwain the most.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 22 hours ago [Title] I said this in the "if hoke [Body]

Output: I said this in the "if hoke is retained" thread...waiting until the team meeting made the most sense of the situation and explains why the AD has been quiet and why it has been business as usual in Ann Arbor today. This reduces media speculation and let's hoke tell the players himself and you avoid the backlash like you saw in Nebraska yesterday.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I obviously have no idea but [Body]

Output: I obviously have no idea but if I am going to stick with my theory...a series of last minute cancelations would get all the spectators and commentators buzzing. I think the silence from the department has a lot to do with getting to this final meeting tomorrow and letting the players hear it first. I am not saying I agree with the plan, it just seems to be a logical reason why we haven't heard anything yet. (Side question: have the visits been confirmed? Who/where are they visiting?)


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Isn't the final team meeting [Body]

Output: Isn't the final team meeting on Tuesday? Would it not make sense/be respectful to let Hoke inform the players first and then make it public? Look at the player backlash from Nebraska yesterday when they informed players in an e-mail. I will start to worry tomorrow night.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Blue Moon Winter Sampler. The [Body]

Output: Blue Moon Winter Sampler. The cinnamon something-or-whatever and the gingerbread ale are pretty good acually...and I like their winter ale.

Output: 1. Jim H 2. John H 3. Gary Patterson 4. Dan Mullen 5. Todd Graham 6. Butch Jones 7. Teryl Austin


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Title] The reality of the situation [Body]

Output: The reality of the situation is that no school pulls coaches from those types of positions. For some reason people always want to assume that people will just jump ship for the slightest improvement in "prestige" but it rarely happens. Name the last time a coach left a top 25 type program for another top 25 type program (aside from Kiffin to USC and I'll grant you Sarkesian to USC if that counts).


Input: [Date] 4 years 33 weeks ago [Body] But apparently Luther Campbell tweeted that Randy Shannon is going to be the new DC at Texas [Title]

Output: Can't make a thread


Input: [Date] 5 years 11 weeks ago [Body] In order to help you solve the mystery, the Hurricanes' mascot is Sebastian the ibis. An ibis is known as the last sign of wildlife prior to a hurricane and the first to reemerge after the storm. So, it actually makes a lot of sense and is much more clever than the simple caricatures most teams use. [Title]

Output: Hurricanes' Mascot


Input: [Date] 5 years 40 weeks ago [Body] I think you need to take Barwis' role into account here. It could be argued that players on the roster having spent several years under his strength and conditioning program may give them more of an advantage over incoming freshman than existed during Llyod's tenure. [Title]

Output: While I agree with most of what you said...


Input: [Date] 5 years 42 weeks ago [Body] Where did you find this picture? [Title]

Output: Shoes


Input: [Date] 5 years 44 weeks ago [Body] doesn't mean that people care to know it. Maybe you were negged because nobody thought it was funny or relevant to read that you don't know any Florida fans. [Title]

Output: Just because it's a fact


Input: [Date] 5 years 44 weeks ago [Body] then it can truly be the B10 again. [Title]

Output: For football they may as well...


Input: [Date] 5 years 44 weeks ago [Body] I wore it every game of the 2006 season, home and away. Then before the OSU game it disappeared. I don't think I need to explain the rest. [Title]

Output: I had a maize Hart jersey...


Input: [Date] 5 years 44 weeks ago [Body] why the conference started suspending people. The mechanisms have been in place for years to deal with these kind of issues. I don't see the LeGarrette Blount incident as a sufficient reason to drastically alter the conference's role in these situations. [Title]

Output: This doesn't really explain


Input: [Date] 5 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Maybe teams were worried they didn't have Jake Long to give their QB all day while Mario was making CBs fall over with his double moves. [Title]

Output: Double moves were his specialty

Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] this would be a great thing. I went to South Bend for the '06 game, and I see no reason to return unless it's to witness us massacre them again. [Title]

Output: If only people cared about the college football HOF


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] the best offense is a good defense. Not so sure the reverse holds true. [Title]

Output: Actually


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] It should be considered a luxury to be able to have DG redshirt next year and spend a couple of years developing. This is a much better situation than throwing another true freshmen in as a starter and hoping for the rare results we've seen from Tate so far. [Title]

Output: I couldn't agree more


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] in the B10 schedule. Not to mention, he hasn't played a road game yet. [Title]

Output: Tate will have his struggles...


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] How many of the 120 actually compete for the top recruits? It's probably closer to 30 teams. [Title]

Output: 120 is a misrepresentation


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] This has all been brought up before. The most troubling part is that the LBs seem to be athletic, but mentally lost. If this doesn't change, the coach will. [Title]

Output: Agreed


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] is if the initial game happened early in the year. So no, RR's media savvy wouldn't have made a difference. Voters would only consider a rematch if they felt the loser had improved since the first meeting. [Title]

Output: The only way a rematch would ever happen in the MNC...


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] We'll have a much better idea about how good Miami is after the next 2 weeks, especially if Bradford is healthy. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Chengalis needs to reevaluate the list. [Title]

Output: Should be higher


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] knowledge of the system and awareness on the field over pure talent. This could lead to walkons playing over recruitings thought to have superior talent. [Title]

Output: RR could value


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Some of these voters may be giving Michigan a bump is the polls for beating ND, while many schools have been rolling over cup cakes early in the season. [Title]

Output: Voters have different voting philosophies


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] I found this pretty perplexing as well. Especially, when the AP poll was so different from the Coach's poll. I can't recall a time when the two polls were so off from each other on a number of different teams. [Title]

Output: Agreed


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] only applies to basketball. Every football game gets liveblogged recently, so hopefully is only applies to basketball. [Title]

Output: Liveblog curse


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] double post [Title]

Output: Sorry


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] I don't think this refutes the poster's idea that Illinois should dominate the recruiting area that he thinks is a hotbed of talent. Also of those school listed either do not come from a big recruiting area or have other schools who dominate the recruiting areas they are located in. [Title]

Output: Yes, but


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] here is the way I see this situation. Henne is the solid #2 QB, but the dolphins are also trying to develop Pat White to contribute to the wildcat. Pat White is more like the #1 wildcat QB than the #2 QB. They find the biggest limitation to the wildcat is Ronnie Brown's inability to make the throws that are sometimes wide open. It is been made public knowledge that the dolphin's front office is high on Henne and he should have a shot at the starting job next season. Also, many think that if the fins struggle he should get playing time this year. [Title]

Output: As a dolphins fan...


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] is a great place to watch a game in NYC (especially for the younger crowd). May not match Duffy's (I've been there too), but it's still packed with Michigan fans on gameday. You would be hard pressed to spot a single person who doesn't have a Michigan t-shirt on. [Title]

Output: Professor Thom's


Input: [Date] 7 years 4 days ago [Body] Stanford is still trying to pay everyone back for The Band Play. And nobody should make fun of the Ballroom Dancing. Or the Men's Glee Club. M has the best. Bar none. And let's hear a cheer for a school that can make a kick butt solar car in a state that gets about 90 days of sun a year! THAT'S what I'm talkin' about! [Title]

Output: Stanford is still trying to


Input: [Date] 7 years 4 days ago [Body] 200 words? Aww man. Is this graded on a curve? Actually, I think "diaries" should be just that. I think a breakdown of the game is great, but so is a breakdown of the tailgate, or some past stories of great days of M-dom. I agree that smack probably belongs on the message board. To a point. I have respect for other schools and their traditions and fan bases, but I don't think it can be expected to show "Big Love" to Sparty or Bucknut Nation. But I don't think there's much point in "You suck," "No, YOU suck" postings. [Title]

Output: 200 words? Aww man. Is this


Input: [Date] 7 years 5 days ago [Body] I like Inge, I'm just stunned that Pudge went. Shouldn't be. Anybody is fair game at trade time. I think more than anything they could use a shrink for the relievers and get their heads on right. Overall the underperformance of this group is frustrating. But they're still our team. Always have been. Always will be. :) [Title]

Output: I like Inge, I'm just stunned


Input: [Date] 7 years 5 days ago [Body] Does it give a little more credence to what Calvin said about his chances of becoming the head coach there given the tone of the athletic program? Hmmm. I'm just sayin' [Title]

Input: [Date] 7 years 1 week ago [Body] Yeah, Rich Rod never did the late night stuff here on MSN after the game. Mountaineer Magazine was always something a few days later. I think it's too bad. Anyone who grew up on Michigan Replay will feel a little lost for a while. If I were a local station I'd have some kind of highlights program and insert it there assuming the rules allowed it. I'm really not sure how it goes with Michigan. I know where I live any station could turn a special out any day of the week on WVU because I've seen it time and time again. It's not just the "offifial station" of WVU that does specials. So maybe someone could chime in with a Sunday morning highlights show with some guest analysis. Surely there are two local Michigan Men who could partner with a Bernie or Don Shane and do a 30 min recap to feed the need on Sunday morning. Then again I guess in the age of DVRs and such, they figure Thursday is as good as any. Thursday M football show? Against. Sunday M Replay? For. [Title]

Input: [Date] 7 years 1 week ago [Body] We should borrow Woody's phrasing and just call it: That school down south and leave it at that. Except for the fact that ND is also down south. Hmm.

Input: [Date] 7 years 1 week ago [Body] Yes and no. If the military HAD been allowing guys to come out & play that's one thing, but otherwise it's just a bad pick by the Lions. They should have known the guy would have a job that he was liable for. I think of Roger Staubach. From the Wiki article on him: "He was a 10th round draft pick in the 1964 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, but due to his military commitment, did not begin playing until 1969 as a 27 year old rookie. He was also draftd by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 10th round of AFL draft. After graduating from the Naval Academy, Staubach could have requested an assignment in the States but he chose to volunteer for a one-year tour of duty in Vietnam where he served as a supply officer for the United States Navy until 1967. He spent the rest of his Naval career in the United States, playing football on various Naval service teams to prepare for his future career in the NFL." So - draw from that what you will I'm sure he's everything we need from our military leaders. You don't get into that place without being the top of the crop. But it just seems that the precedent has been set way back. [Title]

From my afternoon paper: Drinking tiki torch fluid is not advised by Kelly Holleran Daily Mail staff CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- More West Virginians are winding up in the emergency room for some weird, warm-weather mishaps: suspected poisoning by tiki torches and glow toys.

Input: [Date] 7 years 2 weeks ago [Body] No but the couch burning friends a bit farther southeast of C-bus did dump trash cans on "The U" one game as they were coming out of their "Away" tunnel. Nearly started a brawl. Classy? No. Funny. Sorta mainly because everyone hates on "The U." The whole soccer Hooligan deal is pretty stupid. There's making noise. There's intimidating the other team with cheers and chants. There's spending hours on a blog page writing about your favorite team. And then there's the dumbasses who show up specifically to fight and either hurt someone or get hurt. This ain't Fight Club. I can find a way to "be alive" without having to roll with someone from the other teams so-called fans. That's just stupid. [Title]

Input: [Date] 7 years 2 weeks ago [Body] Word. If I WAS a betting man I think if M has ANY kind of a kicking game and they don't fumble the ball 20 times they'll pull it off. The emotions of the team will reach new levels because they have something to PROVE. There are still a lot of guys who lost to App St. on the team and they don't want to have their images all over for weeks on end being seen losing an opener to Utah no matter how good the Utes are.

Input: [Date] 7 years 2 weeks ago [Body] Well, if anything if you look at it, it should be a swipe at the ethics of Alabama since both guys were courted there. And from what I have read from Brian in months gone by, Bama seems to sort of make up the rules as they go on rosters and nubmers of slots open, etc. A wee bit shady there. BTW, both guys also come from the same county in WBGVa if you can believe that. RR has had his share of "bad eggs" but he has been known to give those kids another shot much like Tressel. Sometimes that rubs people wrong... special treatment for athletes, etc. Hopefully he won't have the kind of kids who get in trouble but they ARE kids. Kids = trouble. I've heard his side of the story enough to know that calling him unethical really depends on what state you live in. I think his original statement should suffice: It's America and he wanted to change jobs. The rest is just pissing matches. [Title]

Output: Well, if anything if you look

Input: [Date] 7 years 2 weeks ago [Body] Well, living here in WBGVa I have heard SO MUCH of this argument that it's amazing. There was quite a bit of head scratching though over Stewart even though his team just whupped OU. I think a lot of folks thought the Stewart hire was based on emotion. He certainly was cheaper. He fits the mold they want of a home town, home spun, aw shucks kinda guy - PLUS he didn't have a big time agent that would cost them a lot of money. He took quite a pay cut from what RR was making. He seems to be a really nice guy, but he will not have as much leeway in the losing department with fans. They will demand that another "big name" coach be hired because in their minds they have "arrived" with the Michigans, Ohio States and Oklahomas. We shall see. I think the scoring against OU gets credited to Calvin. Stewart was pretty much the cheerleader/motivator and there to manage the clock and decide on overall strategy, etc. [Title]

Input: [Date] 7 years 2 weeks ago [Body] All of the Barwis buzz - talking about all of the NFL players or NFL players in waiting coming to work out with him... once the NCAA starts getting a whiff of that kind of P.R., they'll come up with some dumb rule to make that illegal. Schools could then use it as a "recruiting tool." You know, like they did with the rule about Media Guides. Yeah - kids are gonna come to your school because of your Media Guide. Whatever. But your S & C coach showing off his street cred... that may be too much for the party poopers at the NCAA. I hope not, but it seems they pretty much dump on everything else that could be considered ANY way to attract kids to a school. Don't believe me? Go to the M Athletic Dept and see if you can get a signed football or basketball to raffle for your favorite charity. It'll take weeks if not months and you have to sign an NCAA compliance form stating that nobody in middle or high school who is an athlete will receive the ball - because that could be a recruiting tool to make kids want to go to your school. So it's not a reach to think they'll look poorly on all of the hype about who's hanging around the weight room. But I hope not. [Title]

And while I'm certainly not high on the WVU fan list, the STATE and the UNIVERSITY are two different things.... I just need to convince my WVU friend of that. That aside, I never had a problem with the new M road unis. But your comment does give me a little ammo to plug back at him with. If the new road unis are so "bad" or "ugly" and you still have some that look like it, ummmmm, doesn't that mean that THOSE WVU unis are just as ugly? LOL! That's why it's fun to have friends who don't share similar opinions on everything. We argue like cats & dogs at times but still enjoy a brew and hanging out. [Title]

Input: [Date] 7 years 3 weeks ago [Body] Potty mouth. (Edit - watch it - someone will say you sound like the "very bad things" that are said at football practice. LOL!!!) Berman is annoying and probably needs to focus on radio. Harsh but there's a time when guys move from on camera to off and he's there. I'm not watching. Despite her calling him "Boom" I give her a pass. Mainly because she's easy on the eyes. A sexist thing to say, but she draws a particular audience. It's what they want at ESPN. [Title]

Input: [Date] 7 years 3 weeks ago [Body] A lot of news organizations seem to set up this mentality of "gotcha" and that anyone who makes bank is somehow doing so on the take or against the rules. TRUST ME if we printed the home phone numbers of the Editors they would have a coniption. Their argument would be that they are not public figures in charge of the public trust. However, newspapers have pretty much enjoyed a monopoly in their hometowns with regulators looking the other way. It's always been a case of the "do-gooders" trying to uncover something untoward - even if nothing untoward is going on. It's how they operate. They also have a very anti-profit mentality, execpt where the newspaper is concerned. If the football team or athletic department makes money, it's a bad thing. If the paper makes money, it's expected. Funny though how the marketplace of information has caught up with the newspapers and places like MGoBlog have taken over the position of being THE place for information about something folks care about like M sports. I know Brian is a fan but he's no shill. If something WRONG was going down, I know he'd call it out. Otherwise he'd be labeled as a shill and readership of MGoBlog would spiral downward. The paper in it's effort to appear "independent" continues to cut off its nose to spite its face. You can't stomp on the very entity that makes people want to read you for info without losing contacts within that entity or readership or both. It's OK to investigate how things are run. It's another to make insinuations and print phone numbers of the people in charge to CREATE an atmosphere that something is wrong when apparently it isn't. [Title]

Input: [Date] 7 years 3 weeks ago [Body] On some of the older versions you could mess with lineups on any team and save them. I don't know about the newer versions. I always made a 7" QB that had the body of a tank with like 99% passing, running, accuracy, stamina, speed., etc. Kind of looked like Jared Lorenzen only taller, and with talent. LOL! I never played the whole deal with recruiting, etc. I am not sure you can still do this on the new versions. [Title]

Output: On some of the older versions


Input: [Date] 7 years 3 weeks ago [Body] I don't care what they wear really. I'm glad M will make bank on the new purchases of the licensed goods. I also do see that it will be tough on some folks to rake $150 out of the wallet in today's economy. That's just the facts of life. Can't criticize folks for that. Unlike some comments I've read, I DON'T think you're "more" of a fan if you have the authentic or the replica or a Steve & Barry's T. As long as it's Maize & Blue, says Mighican on it, and you're showing pride in the team, I'm cool with it! Trust me, I catch HELL for wearing Michigan stuff to the gym in the land of Ohio State AND WVU but I wear it just about EVERY day. Let' 'em hate!!! I DO smell a LARGE sale on the NIKE versions though coming up VERY very soon. Someone let me know if you see one! LOL! [Title]

Input: [Date] 7 years 3 weeks ago [Body] Not to be sarcastic about your question, but after watching OSU blitz and pressure M last November, I don't think things could be much worse. I see some missed assignments as the year goes on. Any new system is going to produce that result. Overall though, I feel pretty confident as a fan that this new system really is state of the art for college. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Being a Kent State grad, I'm [Body]

Output: Being a Kent State grad, I'm pretty familiar with Ohio (not that Ohio). They are streaky behind the arc, very quick, and athletic. They rank near the top of NCAA in steals. When their shots are dropping they can be a load. At the same time, they dont' really have a lot of height under the rim and rely almost exclusively on their guards to make plays. I'm still trying to decide whether I like this matchup. Additional Note: Walter Offutt, a transfer from Ohio (yes that Ohio), plays for Bobcats. He has had a very good year and was a regular contributor for Buckeyes as a freshman.

Output: I spoke with an Ohio fan who explained (a) Michigan's O-Line haul in 2012 and thus far in 2013 is irrelevant because Ohio garnered the top D-Line class in 2012. And (b) the commits with offers from both schools chose MIchigan because they didn't have "Commitable" offers from Ohio State. He can't seem to accept that Hoke and the UM staff have beat Meyer to the punch on several recruits (getting in early). Discussing football and recruiting with Ohio fans sometimes reminds of of talking to my 9 year old nephew.

Output: I like them. Looking back I recall the stripes on the sleeves of the away jerseys. Aside from some of the finer details such as the numbers they do look much better on the players. I can only hope that the white pants are NEVER EVER worn again however. I have spoken with a few friends this week and, according to principle, I understand the reticence to accept this alternative jersey thing. In many ways I completely agree. Yet, it appears to be a vogue marketing and recruiting tool and hey, at least the three different looks we've sported haven't made us look like complete clowns (uh MSU, MD, OR)

Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Body] I'd like to thank Al Borges for his first year, when he took control of a team whose offensive scheme was radically different than anything he'd ever run before and yet the offense ended the year with higher red zone efficiency and other metrics than RR ever managed. I'd like to thank Al Borges for his second year, when despite all those designed QB runs finally catching up with Denard, defenses finally figuring out his arm was nothing to fear, and who knows what in terms of injuries (the pinched nerve, possible knee issue, etc) all leading to the sudden transition of Devin from WR to QB, we came close to beating a 10 win SEC outfit in a bowl game. I'd like to thank Al Borges for the fact that we're going to a bowl these year and as bad as the offense is, I've seen worse from other offensive transitions in recent memory. As bad as the line situation is this year, I've seen offensive geniuses shit the bed to much worse degrees than this year. No one we've lost to has more than two loses and they have 5 loses total. The moments of futility suck, but so did offensive line recruiting for awhile and one of our higher ranked gets is currently a nose tackle because defensive line recruiting also sucked. [Title]

Output: I'd like to thank Al Borges


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] One of the things seems to be he doesn't keep any kind of momentum after he beats that first block. He crushes right through the line and then he's just kind of standing there, trying to find the ball, and once he figures out that the ball carrier is headed for the edge he has to get his body back up to speed. Better vision will let him come crashing through at full speed instead of needing to pause and figure out what is going on. Lots of wasted steps there, which in some instances comes close to letting the offensive linemen pick him back up. [Title]

Output: One of the things seems to be


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] The offending thing is actually something I've been pondering for awhil and it does present a problem. Least we forget, Tuley-Tillman has very displeased when a blog called him raw and basically failed to declare him the next coming of Long and Lewan. This blog has always excelled because when recruits are covered, attempts are made to break down their game film and critique their play. Things are said like "Likely won't start until their junior at the earliest, very raw.", "Likely to be passed from behind unless he works his ass off", and other such things. If the content is going to target kids who are 15 and not used to hitting the camps and being critiqued in a such manner, we're going to tie our hands in the future in terms of analysis. Last year it was unhappiness over being called raw, this year it was being young looking, and perhaps next year someone will mad when Ace says he doesn't have the world's greatest hands and is prone to dropping balls. You're always going to have to recruits who don't like the grading they get, but at least the older ones should in theory have gotten used to it after hitting those camps and talking to coaches on their officials. We have an admittedly small sample size here, but so far the trend line has started out in an extremely poor direction to say the least. We're not the kind of blog prone to mindlessly hailing fluff pieces, because if we were we'd all be watching Sports Center rather than hanging out here. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] I went through Michigan with a full ride for academics and also worked 10 to 20 hours a week for General Motors. A fair number of folks in college get some or all of their college paid for with scholarships and cash a paycheck beyond that. A fair number of engineering grad students are in the same boat, tuition waiver and some kind of grant or hook up with a company that results in a stipend. I see no reason that a football player shouldn't be able to do the same. Just because a small percentage of them will go on to become wealthly in the pros is no reason to deny them money. By that logic we should go stick it harder to the Business School types since they might end up with Stephen J Ross kinds of money. In terms of wealth on hand, I had a significantly better deal in that I went to class and cashed a check for my work. A football player goes to class, has 20 hours of official practice with the coaching staff, more voluntary practice or film study with their teammates, which is supposed to average out to around 44.8 hours per week, and they don't even get a stipend for walking around money. Heck if they chose to stay in school rather than go pro early, their wallets take a hit because they have to buy injury insurance with their own money like Lewan did. There are a lot of services FBS programs could offer their students beside just handing them the cash (and half a million per head doesn't seem defensible) such as a living stipdent, program provided insurance for career ending injuries, a free grad degree as well as 4 years of undergrad, a trust fund of some sort, etc. Right now though players do get screwed considering the revenue stream they bring in.

Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] As I said, ask the kid to pass a request along to the parents in your first contact package. Alternatively if directly contacting the kids is seen as unacceptable, every school in America has a public phone number and someone who answers the phone during the school day. Leave the coach a voicemail and ask him to pass it on to the parents. In a lot of cases you don't even need to go that far, as a fair amount of the higher star ranked prospects have a Twitter or Youtube account dedicated to recruiting, which one assumes an adult is at least aware of, if not checking. Hit up that account, speak briefly with a parent, and move forward. Again the issue comes down to the fact that Brown's standard workflow does not included "Speak with a parent or gaurdian" as a step before interviewing a 16 year old. Which forms of social media are used and how you use them is something that is still up in the air, as some new social network comes out every six months it seems, but changes in the mechanics of contact doesn't at all influence the issue that sooner or later a parent is not going to be happy and the fact Brown doesn't attempt to speak to them as a matter of course only increases the odds of it happening sooner and more frequently.

Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] It's all right here. He clearly states he has not talked with a parent or coach for every interview, which in turn means that speaking with the parents is not part of the standard contact package. As for his contact method, @BBrown has a clear history of sending out Tweets in the form of "Hey X, follow back", which in turn is designed to allow for private direct messaging. No additional context is provided by Brown in the initial contact. [Title]

Output: I do actually.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] One area that the board is clearly going to be divided on are the ethics of not talking to the parents in all this. I've made my view clear upthread, so clearly have a bias in favor of contacting the parents. That said, from a pragmatic viewpoint: Let's say I'm a high schooler and I'm interview. Now I live with my mother in Michigan and my father lives in Hawaii since they divorced. I do an interview, my mother doesn't really mind, but my dad finds out and absolutely flips his lid. Maybe he does it purely out of a cynical ploy for usage in a custody battle or some other reason, at the end of the day it will still be MGoBlog didn't ask and at least one parent is pissed off and no parent approved since no one was asked. Ethics of interviewing minors aside, there is a certain cover your ass aspect of at least attempting to get approval from one parent. Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission is not always true. [Title]

Output: One area that the board is


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] This is really what it boils down to. Print journalism ethics first begins with question why you must interview minors. Clearly in this case, because they are potential Michigan recruits. Secondly you determine if parental (or gaurdian) consent is needed. If you determine it is not, you should leave contact information with the minor so his parents can contact you if they later object to the interview being used. I'd say that is pretty standard. So in this day and age, personally I strongly disagree with Brown's method of going from contact to publication. There is no reason why the initial contact could not also include "Also, I want to clear it with your parents, my email is xxxxxx@mgoblog.com." Clearly of course the kid could set up a fake email and impersonate his parents, but at least there is more of an effort to be upfront and reach out to the parents there. Here of course we enter into a slippery slope in that how much due diligence Brown has to do. The core issue though is right now he is doing nothing. At the end of the day, tweeting kids "Hello X, follow me back" seemingly out of the blue* and dropping interviews on 16 year olds strikes me as extremely low professional standards and I'll post negative comments about it. One of the first things you normally learn in the professional world is just because you are on social media, doesn't meant professional standards are thrown out. Ultimately that is going to happen is Brown is going to run an article and some parent is going to be pissed the fuck off by it and when that happens, if Brian thought the AD was on his ass before, he's going to wake up and find the Athletic Department so far up his ass, Dominos is opening a branch in his colon. *There also does seem to be an element of hypocrisy here, what did Kyle Kalis and Tuley-Tillman teach us? Don't tweet recruits. Yet now a business function of the blog is doing it via a personal twitter account and lacking any sort of formal letterhead...no thank you. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] The industry is undoubtably grimey, but just because MGoBlog does partake in elements of the industry doesn't mean people can't express concerns about the level at which the blog partakes in this industry. Scout, Rivals, etc do a lot of things that MGoBlog choses not to do and I don't see the issue with people on the blog expressing concern about how deep into that industry the blog staff dives. After all, it was called the MGoCreeper Van because when TomVH started out, lots of people jokingly expressed concern about a dude driving around to various high school games for the express purpose of posting footage on the internet. Moving forward with hudl pages and all that the game has changed. That being said, it is still an ongoing discussion. Both posters and staff comment negatively on some of the offers made to 8 year olds by coaches, so it stands to reason different people would have different thresholds for where that age cut off is. [Title]

Output: The industry is undoubtably


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] I can confirm this is correct, a large portion of the wing on the Dental School was marked as no access when I did my orientation for Marine ROTC. However the Marines showed that area and the massive cracks because "Marines aren't pussies like those squids." Also the University never really repaired it beyond taking it to a point it wasn't condemned. Circa 2007 or so the patchwork as still visible in a number of classrooms and a couple of new cracks were coming along quite nicely. It's ashame because the building has a lot of history, but its time has clearly come. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Body] Ultimately at the start of the season, most of the 'experts' were calling us an 8 or 9 win team this year due to our youth and right now the fanbase is being reminded of that. The play where Chesson failed to dominate the tiny little sub 6' corner covering him his a prime example of that youth. Senior Chesson will likely just reach over the guy, grab the ball and proceed to burn down the field for another 10 yards. Freshman Chesson doesn't jump properly and it results in an Int. That said that throw made my happy, Chesson mistake aside, because it was one of many times that Gardner did throw to someone not named Gallon. Gardner was out of sync with a lot of those people but that can be fixed. The second half went well and in the 4th we really did start to establish something. Fitz was running hard and the defense finally got pumped up thanks to the Morgan pick. Hopefully that will carry into the bye week and give the coaches a little something positive to work with before showing the 6 hour long clip of things that need to be corrected. I'm really hoping with 2 weeks off we can get the offensive line settled into at least mediocrity and Devin calmed down and out of the "I need to win it all by myself mode." [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Body] This issue the higher ups who looked the other way on this did so in part to protect their cash cow of a football program from any taint of a scandal. PSU struggling to make ends meet is just in that is serves as a fair warning to every other administrator in the country (and the PSU community) that the coverup only makes it worse. The message needs to be sent that a better economic result will come from coming clean and taking the initial hit. True PSU never had some kind of secret meeting where the entire Board of Trustees said 'cover this shit up', but the culture was such that a group of school leaders thought they could do just that. Ultimately that is why they pay. Also you can't just blame sanctions. Donations to the athletic program are also down, likely because alumni are disgusted by the actions of the department, not just in the coverup but all its continued denial. Beside, they can always melt that statue down and sell the metal. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Body] One of my GSI's student released coursework and grads I had performed on public forums and via mass email because they had an issue with me. Disclosure of grades of course falls under FERPA. Lewis as Dean of Rackham was actually the ultimate say in punishing this grad student, but kept ducking meetings with me, I had four rescheduled and denying responsibility until a letter from an actual lawyer rolled in, coupled with an official compliant to the Department of Education. Suddenly Lewis had all the time in the world to meet with me after that and I no longer kept getting routed to other departments. For awhile they had this whole "Oh no, we don't handle that, someone else does." thing going on to ping pong me back and forth. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Honestly I think State's defense is slightly overrated. They needed to bring 5 or 6 just to get pressure against USF. The Bulls burned them a few times with draws. Against better teams Narduzzi may be made to pay for that aggression with those draws and screens. State's front 4 are not as disruptive as they were in past seasons. [Title]

Output: Honestly I think State's


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] That stopping Denard defense comment is the key I think. Notre Dame early in the game was playing they thought Denard was still there and no one on our team could pass to save his life. They reopened with a rehash of their 2012 formations and were promptly murdered via a passing attack. As the season goes on we'll see if coordinators we face make different choices, like not stacking 7 or 8 in the box and having the LBs play to stop the run on almost every down, and what kind of running game improvement we see at that point. So far Devin has not been a free turnover machine when pressured, so we'll see what happens next. If we seems playing to stop the pass more and we still struggle to run, my worries will increase at that point. Funchess blocking mistakes that definitely hurt the run game. That's worrisome, but it is only his second year in the program and blocking takes time to learn (think back to Seth's work on how long it takes to prep offensive linemen to learn the blocking schemes, Funchess faces the same task to a degree). [Title]

Output: That stopping Denard defense


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Well this should hopefully end the Sailboat Bill jokes (I have to admit, I've made a few myself). The oddly unified story I've heard is that Miles was exiled from AA by Bo for various sins beyond the whole screwing Mrs. Moeller thing, which might just be campfire gossip anyway. Which was why when coming into the 2006 season, when Carr wanted to retire and Bo was alive, no move was made to hire Miles. As the story goes, MSC felt that Bo was over reacting to some minor issues involving Miles, whereas Bo had full on excommunicated the guy. So long as Carr stayed on, MSC figured there was nothing to be gained by challenging Bo over this and let it ride coming into 2006 when Carr was making noises about retirement but people talked him into staying. What happened in 2008 supposedly was Carr and Martin were against Miles, but MSC ordered contact to be made and since she is the ultimate boss she had to be obeyed. Martin, a multimillionaire who has conducted many business deals on tight timetables, became suddenly incompentent (strategically so one might say) with his cellphone and Carr laid the groundwork for RR (since RR had the Nehlen link and Bo liked RR's read-option, although I assume Bo must have flipped channels during defensive series). Martin 'made a mistake' and 'lost the deal', then Carr presented RR as a viable Plan B. However Carr actually had buyer's remorse due to further interactions with RR and things went to hell as we all saw. [Title]

Output: Well this should hopefully


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] Seems fair. As long as we keep it together the next part of the schedule is nice.

Input: [Date] 9 weeks 6 days ago [Body] It seems to me that you and I will never agree, since the core of my argument is that the playoffs should be decided by series (7 game series at that) in order to determine who is the better team. Short series and the spacing between the games allow teams to roll out their aces twice a series, whereas longer series are a test of depth. Baseball has always been about the depth of teams. That is why the regular season is so long, and that is why until recently it was considered absurd to have anything but series. I don't entirely disagree with you and see that there is some merit to your reasoning, but I disagree with you entirely that these benefits outweigh the assault on the very core of the game itself. There are 162 games in the regular season, and if one wildcard makes it in by a couple games over the next best ones, then so be it. Just like the Braves, they could have helped themselves by winning their games. [Title]

Output: It seems to me that you and I


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 1 hour ago [Body] I understand these arguments, but I think some of the positive components of what you outline are overridden by what happened in 2012 during the first iteration of this format. A 94 win Braves team had to play an 88 win Cardinals team and ultimately lost a game played under protest due to one of the worst calls I have ever seen. Anyone who watched that game - which wasn't many because it started at 5PM on a Friday - should understand why a one game anything in baseball is not tenable; precisely because of that randomness. That the Cards went on to win the WS is a moot point, as they had no business being given equal treatment to a team that had a 6 game advantage on them, which played in a superior division, and which had won 5 of the 6 games against the Cardinals that season. Any benefit is far outweighed by the above being allowed to happen. [Title]

Output: I understand these arguments,


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 hours ago [Body] An individual baseball game is more "random" because there are far more variables at work than there are in basketball, for example, where the same 6-8 guys play the same 6-8 other who run more or less the same plays. In baseball the batter-pitcher matchup, coupled with just how difficult it is for the offense to score in general produces such outcomes. I think baseball would be less "random" if the playoffs were as inclusive as other leagues, where the top 6-8 from the AL/NL each make it and they play a 7 game series (5 game series are too short IMO). In that scenario I think the better teams would win out at a similar rate as in football. That being said, I would hate that as a baseball fan. I think the 1 game play-in game is an abomination that should be strapped to an ICBM and launched into the sun. [Title]

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Body] In the student section right behind a group of 30 or so PSU fans that were huge assholes to everyone around them the entire time. I can't believe how many M students sold their tickets during fall break; A2 was INFESTED with PSU bros that weekend. They were out on South U and elsewhere picking fights and whatnot the Friday before. Funny how they didn't seem to be around on Saturday night. This is when I lost all respect for PSU, well before the most recent...events. This and Braylonfest were the two best live moments in sports for me. That Saturday was one of the biggest party nights that took place while I was at M. I think because it was a generally terrible season to that point and the game ended at night the student body turned it up to 11. [Title]

Michigan football, since the days of Chad Henne has been a little unstable, leading to the inability to redshirt quarterbacks on a consistent basis. Although we would all like Shane Morris to redshirt, the likelihood of the opportunity presenting itself is slight. Since the recruitment of David Cone, only Russell Bellomy was afforded the opportunity to redshirt his freshman season. With Bellomy's knee injury I don't think the opportunity will be presented to Shane Morris. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] I would be surprised to see Shane Morris redshirt in 2013. Morris will be the second best healthy quarterback on the roster when he arrives in the summer, therefore I think the coaches will get him ready to play, and will play him early on in the season. As Brady Hoke likes to say, what's best for the team is usually best for the individual, and in this case what's best for the team will be Shane Morris on the field getting experience in the case of an unfortunate injury to Devin Gardner [Title]

Input: [Date] 7 years 4 weeks ago [Title] mjvancam [Body]

Output: I don't know where it came from, the boy found it. he does all the work, it's what i pay him for lol but if it's an unusual pic maybe he remembers where he got it, there might be more.

Output: the 4th of July isn't a big holiday here in the UK but i have a couple Uncle Sam hats and might have the boy whip up a "We Kicked ur Ass" banner, or maybe i'll just settle with sitting on the beach and drinking budweiser (it's in a red white and blue can!)while teaching these ppl how to bbq and make smores.

Input: [Date] 31 weeks 16 hours ago [Title] Got Harbaughed in Boston today [Body]

Output: I'm visiting my in-laws in Boston and while wearing my M hat I got Harbaughed today. Twice!


Input: [Date] 2 years 43 weeks ago [Title] Don't talk about it! [Body]

Output: Baseball mojo is a wierd thing. You don't talk to a pitcher who's throwing a no hitter, so maybe we shouldn't talk about this until tomorrow.


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Title] The golf course [Body]

Output: is the best atmosphere by far. You get to toss back a few while throwing a football on a beautiful course with the Big House standing proudly next to you. What could be better?


Input: [Date] 4 years 25 weeks ago [Title] No number 1 [Body]

Output: So I take it no number 1 jersey for Stonum or Roundtree?


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] exactly [Body]

Output: Kids are going to hear they can be the next Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, or Bart Scott, and they're gonna...well, let's just say they'll be pretty excited.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] that is awesome [Body]

Output: I didn't even notice the shirt until you mentioned. Amazingly, I already laughed out loud at this picture befores I saw the decepticons logo. Epic.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] so true [Body]

Output: ESPN is to sports as MTV is to music.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] The thought of that [Body]

Output: the thought of that is so horrible I'm not sure my brain can even handle such a thought even when said jokingly. I have to go think about something else.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] I've had that there [Body]

Output: when I used to live in A2 many moons ago. Tasty, but nothing like big chunks of "lawb-stah" with an eggs benny.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] eggs benedict with lobster [Body]

Output: that's how we roll in New England.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Michigan's order of preference [Body]

Output: This is my guess at Brandon's order of preference: First--Gruden, Narrow Second--Miles, Distant third--Hoke. I think that will be the order of pursuit. If Gruden says "pass" and Miles says "I want more money and grass put down at the big house so I can eat my pre-game salad", it wil go to Hoke who we all know will jump at the chance.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] so true [Body]

Output: People freaked with Bo (Bo WHO?), thought Mo was good but got in a barfight, and thought Lloyd was going to be too soft. I'd be afraid if everyone thought whoever the next coach is would be perfect. Everyone forgets how hot a commodity RichRod was when we landed him (spurned Alabama before we got him).


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] I woke up this morning [Body]

Output: finally ready to move on from JH, and now this. Just when I thought I was out, he pulled me back in!


Input: [Date] 4 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Sheridan [Body]

Output: He really tried hard, but he sure looks like a chemistry prof in that picture.


Input: [Date] 5 years 1 week ago [Title] Rage [Body]

Output: What about Know Your Enemy or Bulls on Parade by Rage Against the Machine. That'll get you amped!


Input: [Date] 5 years 13 weeks ago [Title] When I was a young boy [Body]

Output: When I was a boy and couldn't sleep or was scared by a storm, my dad would bring in the radio, and Ernie Harwell and the Tigers would keep me company until I would finally drift off. More than just a broadcaster.


Input: [Date] 5 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Quinton McCoy [Body]

Output: You've got Quinton McCoy listed twice.


Input: [Date] 5 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Not Catholic, but... [Body]

Output: I'm not Catholic either (protestant), but I usually give something up for Lent. Last year I gave up booze, and I'm doing the same thing this year. The first week sucks, then not so bad. But on Easter afternoon I poured myself a tall Jameson's on the rocks, and I plan on doing the same this April 4th as well (not that I'm counting already or anything).


Input: [Date] 5 years 24 weeks ago [Title] um...wow [Body]

Output: I love how matter-of-fact this guy is. I mean, come on! You're jerking an elephant by sticking your ARM in his rectum. Wow.


Input: [Date] 5 years 24 weeks ago [Title] absolutely [Body]

Output: His clutch catch at the six yd line turned the drive from a "let's get in field goal range" to a "let's win this right now" mentality. Glad for him.


Input: [Date] 5 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Happy for Savoy [Body]

Output: Happy for Savoy when Matthews caught that ball. Can you imagine the sleepless nights for him if we would've lost that game on his dropped TD pass?


Input: [Date] 5 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Even the 2008 team [Body]

Output: had a bend but don't break defense. The Red Wings were the wise veterans who had been there before and were able to place the puck where they wanted, as opposed to a young, hungry team that was diving into the corners after the puck. It was this kind of play that bit us in the butt last June, and it's exactly why Detroit is already playing as if they are in rebuilding mode.


Input: [Date] 5 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Leopold's [Body]

Output: Isn't that right where Leopold's used to be? Shame they left. Nevermind. I just picked up the sarcasm.


Input: [Date] 5 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Zingerman's Brewpub [Body]

Output: I have knowledge firsthand that Zingerman's was pondering brewing its own beer, but in the last six months plans for that have either changed or dried up. That would be sweet though, if Zingerman's opened up a brewpub! Great food to go along with great beer - sounds pretty good to me.


Input: [Date] 5 years 26 weeks ago [Title] late to the party [Body]

Output: All day I have been following NSD, and ESPN has been lagging on nearly all of their coverage, none more so than their rankings. As of 7:45 tonight, they still had only seven Michigan recruits having submitted LOI's while this blog and many other sources had confirmed all but Dorsey signed by about noon. I live right next to ESPN, and an insider told me that ESPN's biggest weakness right now is having a good hold on college football recruiting. That was obvious today.
