Output: I've had three Michigan fans join since last night and probably will get more today. Like I said at the top I don't care what you think about me or this game. What's funny is that you took time to click on this thread and comment just to put me down so your tiny ego can feel a bit better than the infinitesimal pea it wishes it wasn't.

Output: Not the most powerful one in my group but in the top 5. We've won 13 wars so far and counting... We have 29 members and I'd love to get it back up to 50 soon.


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 days ago [Title] Nice!! [Body]

Output: I love getting pumped up before the season. Funchess will dominate again this year and Derrick Green and DeVeon Smith will pound some fools. Who else will be there for the opener? I can't wait... Go Blue!!


Input: [Date] 1 year 1 week ago [Title] Pretty cool [Body]

Output: that Denard is on the last version of this game. I also bought this evey year and will miss the new versions coming out. A buddy of mine will make the 2 deep on a B1G team this year and he's mad he just missed being on the game. I hope it does return someday...


Input: [Date] 1 year 1 week ago [Title] What a great read! [Body]

Output: I love the immortal moments. A few others for me: UTL was magical. I remember watching the crowd will the team to a comeback with an INT return for a TD vs Wisconsin (was it Thompson?). Sitting in the corner of the endzone when Manningham caught the TD pass vs. Penn St. with seconds that Lloyd argued for. John Vaughn returning kicks like lightning. The ATrain dragging dudes 10 Yards into the endzone. Thimunga Biakabatuka!! Braylon vs. MSU "the slaughterfest in Lansing" - I could go on and on. Good times


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] Tough to order it... [Body]

Output: I guess I'd say MSU 1st because they will be tougher to beat this year IMO. (MSU/OSU/ND) Hyde being gone from OSU and no Guiton to trot on when ole QB goes down will make them stumble. MSU needs to be knocked down a peg, cause it's our turn to win the B1G this year. This year is all or nothing for the coaching staff, and I think they will pass the test. Go Blue!!!

Output: I think he left money on the table and would have been better served with one more year in college. Coach can still boast that we have had 5 NBA draft Picks in 2 years and that is special! Go Blue!!

Output: That reminded me of Blade Runner for a second there... What a badass episode!


Input: [Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Title] All the guys [Body]

Output: decommiting is evidence that there's a ton of negative recruiting out there. It's all about this season for us. If Hoke can't win on the road, then our recruting class will be worse. If we can pull together a semblance of a running game, we will be dangerous this year. These kids are hearing from everybody that Hoke is on the hot seat, and it's not entirely untrue. All we have to do is have a good season (9+ wins IMO) and things will fall into place nicely. These kids will react to what they see on TV and you can't really blame them when they have so many good choices. I really think the ND and Utah games are huge for us this year. If we can build up a nice winning streak and beat Penn St. it will set us up for a shot at a B1G title. We really aren't that far away from a scary team on both sides of the ball. Let's hope Nuss is just what the doctor ordered...


Input: [Date] 1 year 9 weeks ago [Title] ... [Body]

Output: I am torn between what I really think and what I'm hoping for. I hope we can pull off 7-8 of the easy games and 2-4 of the hard ones. This gets us an over. My gut tells me otherwise...Hoke has been horrible on the road and we have the worst schedule for a bad road team. If I had to bet my house, I would say 6-7 of the easier games and 1 of the 4 harder ones. Would 8 wins with losses to all 3 rivals be the end of Hoke? Would Nuss step in to replace him? I hope none of these things happen, but I have lost a bit of faith in this staff. We had more talent than most of the teams we played last year and only looked really good in our big home games. Mattison needs to figure out how to stop Urban on maybe three drives the whole game, and better game plan for big time receivers. That KSU bowl game was embarrassing how they tore apart our secondary.

Input: [Date] 1 year 9 weeks ago [Title] Game one [Body]

Output: Is huge. Now they just need one of two and FSU has all the pressure on them. I wasn't really planning on watching this whole game and was more involved than I ever have been for softball. I'm in for tomorrow, for sure! Go Blue!

Input: [Date] 1 year 9 weeks ago [Title] Thumper! [Body]

Output: How many thumpers start on our D right now? This is the kinda guy that will have a few impact plays a game. Stuff like that gets your team riled up and frothy. It's hard to put a value to something like that. I can't wait to see him head hunting in the winged helmet! Go Blue!!


Input: [Date] 1 year 10 weeks ago [Title] I live in Indy [Body]

Output: And I will now have to see an LC game or two this year. Highschool football is fun too, now. Anybody else I should check out in-State?


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

Output: Yet another reason mgoblog is awesome - coaches on here spitting knowledge left and right. I never thought about how both interior D line and linebackers increase in that D. I'm psyched to have Kirkland in the fold! The fact that we don't have to throw him out there immediately is even better. Depth is coming all over the roster and it will show late in games this year.


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

Output: QB - OSU - I have to go with Braxton because he's not the turnover champ that Devin is RB - UM - I like Green/Smith as a 1-2 punch of big mauling backs better than what I saw when Hyde was on the sideline. He was your entire running game and there wasn't much behind him. WR - UM - You have no Devin Funchess, which means Michigan wins. He is a game changer and will be a 1st round NFL pick OL - OSU - I know this is supposed to just be about talent, but given that we are installing a new offense, there will be a hindrance on their performance this year IMO TE - OSU - Michigan is really weak at this spot this year because of Funchess moving and JB being hurt DL - OSU - Michigan's depth is finally coming around but the starters at OSU are better LB - UM - OSU sent their best guy to the NFL, whereas UM's best guy is in the middle running the show on that side of the ball. Jake will be a beast this year. CB - Even without mentioning Peppers UM is better, and with him they are miles ahead. OSU will be learning new techniques and might find out it was more about talent than coaching last year S - Wash - Both teams have a bit of experience and a bit of uncertainty at this spot. Coaching - OSU - Brady's biggest problem since he got to Michigan has been away games. One glance at this schedule for UM and it's hard for me to see him surviving until next spring. I hope I'm wrong, and I hope Nuss is just what we need to turn things around.

Output: This thing's gonna get crazy here soon. It just feels like things are at a rolling boil at this point.


Input: [Date] 1 year 11 weeks ago [Title] There will be lots of disapointment tonight in the crowd... [Body]

Output: I think there are 30 players in attendance which means several of them will not be picked in the first round. They will get close camera shots of the disapointment and anxiety on these guys' faces, and I never enjoy that part of how they cover this event. My other pet peeve is when the latter rounds start and no one on radio or TV bothers to actually talk about who is being picked or how they might help the team who's drafting. They just blab on endlessly while you search the ticker info for some help... Funny that the producer thinks the latter rounds aren't interesting enough to talk about, and yet there are plenty of fanatics out there like me who watch the whole thing every year. We don't tune in to hear you constantly yap about the first round for 3 days!


Input: [Date] 1 year 11 weeks ago [Title] ok - I'll bite... [Body]

Output: I believe the first pick and this year's complete bust are one and the same -Clowney. He will get 1-3 sacks this year and really get disheartened by the fact that everyone else works harder than he ever will. Taylor will be the second-third tackle off the board and go top ten; I say Atlanta or Buffalo. I think the Lions pick Dennard. Manziel will go.... I am thinking that dude is either a Raider or a Cowboy. Will recent whiffs on QB's scare the Raiders away? I think the Browns are putting out a smoke screen and they aren't interested. You can't trust any info from the coaches this time of year... My Colts don't get a pick until Friday late, so I will pretend to hear Trent Richardson's name around pick 26 tonight.


Input: [Date] 1 year 12 weeks ago [Title] Nice episode! [Body]

Output: I feel sorry for Sansa and all the weirdos she gets set up with. Having Baelish for a stepdad would be creepy... Arya continues to be my favorite. John Snow was in over his head and got lucky. Hodor ripped himself up a spy. Tommen probably won't live very long. I'm looking forward to the trial...


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I personally agree, for what [Body]

Output: I personally agree, for what it's worth. I think my point is that even if the program is utterly blameless in reality, this will not play well outside the fan base, which is a problem unto itself.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I think we can all concede [Body]

Output: I think we can all concede that's a possibility. The problem is, that's not what Pipkins believes, and the best case scenario is this creates an unjustified black mark on public perception. Maybe Pipkins does have legitimate health problems, or maybe he can't take the pressure and pace Harbaugh demands of student athletes. Or maybe it is as he believes, a conspiracy to force him out. The truth behind the curtain doesn't change the problem this kind of PR problem this creates.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Seems, from a journalistic [Body]

Output: Seems, from a journalistic perspective, they could at least have TRIED to get Michigan's side of the story on this...


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Interesting point, I hadn't [Body]

Output: Interesting point, I hadn't thought of that. There isn't much in the way of a benefit to not letting him finish his last year, if he is indeed healthy enough.

Output: Given that Ferentz makes so much money Iowa can't even afford to fire him, Ferentz has no incentive to do anything more than is absolutely required of him. If the NCAA bans sattelite campuses, he has an excuse to do less work for the same amount of money.

Output: Bravo.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 2 days ago [Title] This is a very good point, [Body]

Output: This is a very good point, but I think it also gets at the basis of the problem here. The Athletic Department did Yeoman service for the Mealer family, which is fine, and if that's why Elliot Mealer feels obliged to carry their water, that's understandable. Butr it misses ehy this whole "muggle"/"civilian" issue matters. There shouldn't BE a bunker mentality about this. The Athletic Department shouldn't be seen is seperate from the fans/alumni/students, because it all falls under the same institution. All these groups are extensions of the same entity, which is the University of Michigan. The relationship is meant to be symbiotic: without the fans there can be no team, and no AD to take care of them. If you start to see teh fans relationship to the team as parasitic, and seperate from what the AD does, you're not seeing the forest for the eco-system. I mean, if you want to see the players, the fans and the AD as soldiers, civilians and state department fine, but in that metaphor, we're still one nation. Can you imagine the metaphor if soldiers started to see themselves as so removed from civilian affairs that they constituted a different species? Chilling.

Input: [Date] 40 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Negatory, sir. Pitt's OLine [Body]

Output: Negatory, sir. Pitt's OLine was also stripped of talent and experience when Chryst took over, and its last two recruiting classes were decimated by no less than three coaching changes. Chryst essentially inherited a program on the brink and cobbled together some success. I wrote a longer post about this further below.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Some Context on Chryst [Body]

Output: I talked about Todd Graham to add a "boots on the ground" context, so I might as well chime in on the subject of Chryst. While Chryst hasn't had a lot of success at Pitt on paper, there are some things that should be noted. First, most importantly, don't underestimate what a trainwreck Pitt was when he took the helm. The Panthers managed to burn through three head coaches in two years, not counting interim head coaches, complete with two scandals. Two successive recruiting classes fell apart, and they went from pro to spread to pro in three successive seasons. They had much the same problems with youth and depth on their lines, and an underwhelming picture at QB. Chryst exacerbated this by running a clean ship and getting rid of problematic student athletes, like 5* Rushel Shell, further limiting his talent pool. Chryst is a first time HC, and the warts are there. Particularly, his cloack management has been poor, and some rushed decisions at critical times are noted; that could be the result of inexperience, but it alsio seems to be a running theme with pro-style coaches. That said, Chryst has shown some real upside, and I've often used it to highlight Hoke's flaws. He recruits well, he's been getting some big name kids to stay home, and whateeeever else you want to say, Chryst can identify and develop talent. He saw Tyler Boyd, whose third to choice after Pitt and WVU was Michigan State pretty much by default, and saw talent; Michigan can't offer everyone, obviously, but Pitt fans were aware of what a talent this kid was supposed to be and what a big target he was for them, and he wasn't on Michigan's radar. Sure enough, he'll probably be in the pros after next year. More notable, I think, is James Connor. Connor was a non-descript, 3* DE in his last year of HS. He committed to Pitt, and suddenly it was declared they wanted him to be a running back. Pitt fans shrugged. Yet Connor became, from his first year, a better RB than Michigan has had since Mike Hart, and with an equally talent and experience-denuded OL. I look at him with some whimsy as he does all the things I know RBs are supposed to do, like break tackles, burst through holes and drag piles, make yards after contact. Michigan wouldn't have recruited Connor anyway, because the kid had grade problems in HS, but that's not really the issue. Chryst looked at a no-name DE and saw potential, and then quickly realized that potential into performance, which are skills Hoke has lacked. He can develop QB talent too, for what it's worth. He got Savage drafted, and that was not seen as a likely feat when he took over. People in Pittsburgh see his work with Savage as a continuation of what he did with Russell Wilson. Boyd, Savage and Connor are anecodtal examples, I know, but I hold them out as examples of what Chryst does right. He took a program that was worse off than I think anyone unfamiliar with the program realizes, and has largely stabalized it. I tend to think given two more years the Panthers will be doing well enough that Chryst will be a much hotter commodity, which is, all-in-all, not a bad trajectory for a first HC job. At Michigan? Well, he's obviously a gamble, but I think there are riskier gambles out there that are being talked about. I think more highly of the job he's done at Pitt in three years than the job Hoke has done here in four, especially given the disparity of experience, resources and prestige.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] I don't disagree in any [Body]

Output: I don't disagree in any particular. I think, though, that the difference between Graham and the other coaches you listed is slightly more than an issue of bad etiquette in the manner of his departure. That is to say, nobody blames a coach for moving up the ladder as a buisness decision (or at least, not too loud or for too long). I think the difference is, it's expected a coach on the rise leaves the program in better condition than when he inherited it. Most of the coaches you listed remained for multiple years, or in Brian Kelly's case, which is illuminating, for three, which is ample time to make your bones and to improve the school's situation for the next guy. The difference between one year and three can be dramatic, but I'm not trying to make that case, per se. Obviously Rice was better off, in a sense, than when he first came there. Pitt, on the other hand, actually suffered from his year-long tenure. And that, I think, is more the issue. I think I made the comparison to Chryst, somewhere in all this, who had the opportunity to leave and did not. At a minimu, whether it was the focus of his decision or not, he had to be aware that if HE left after a year, he would be the fourth Panthers coach to depart (willingly or not) in a three year span, and a program already on the brink would probably have collapsed in a fairly definitive manner. I think the fact that he remained reflects well on him, and he has done a great deal to restore the Panthers roster and on-the-field product to, if not exactly the heights of football, then at least out of the gutter.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] I believe he was at Tulsa [Body]

Output: I believe he was at Tulsa longer, but he was certainly one-and-done at Rice and Pitt. His departure from Pitt was used against him in recruiting with some success at ASU, at least initially, although I assume his extending tenure and winning ways will have silenced most of that. Of course, the more he moves around, the more some of that negativity will resurface.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] I wouldn't contest that, but [Body]

Output: I wouldn't contest that, but as a counter argument, it is believed (at least by the locals) that Paul Chryst received inquiries about the Wisconsin job after his first year and had the opportunity to take it. With that in mind, Pitt fans were resigned, and couldn't really fault him (being a Madison local/lifer). The story has it he stayed because he understood Pitt would completely unravel if he lleft, and he felt an obligation to build up the program before he moved on and upwards. Not groundbreaking stuff, again, just context. I do think most coaches feel an obligation to stay in a program for longer than a year. I don't even think Graham was much of a cultural fit, so perhaps it was for the best. I would draw a distinction between Hoke taking a job he was clear from the onset that he always wanted and would take and Graham, though, largely for the other, oh, we'll call them flourishes.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] I'll add this too, but just [Body]

Output: I'll add this too, but just for context: he did face some of the same problems Rich Rod did trying to take the Panthers from a pro team to a spread team, including the tempo-fatigue we became familiar with. The pro-style linemen he inherited would wear down under the fast tempo, and their play would unravel in the latter stages of the game. Much the same with the defense, if the the offense couldn't remain on the field. Naturally, that's a self-correcting problem over time: the players become more accustomed to the tempo as time goes by, especially as new recruits selected for the system come up. It didn't make for a pretty sight over the course of one season, though, especially given how it ended.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] He's a Texas native, who [Body]

Output: He's a Texas native, who seems most at home coaching and recruiting in that region, so you may be right. On the other hand, never underestimate a freebooting mentality. He might come to Michigan if the price is right, and to climb the ladder of school prestige. In that regard, though, he would be a flight risk as soon as a better, or perhaps even equitable, job opened down south.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] I was in Pittsburgh the year [Body]

Output: I was in Pittsburgh the year Todd Graham (now known in the Steel City as "Fraud Graham") coached the Panthers and fled. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to reject the guy without delving into stereotypes of accent and religion. It wasn't just that he pulled a one-and-done in Pittsburgh, he lied to everyone, including administrators, players and recruits, along the way, and wrapped it up by leaving the AD standing on his doorstep when rumors made their way into the news and questions required answers. Then he texted the team a quicck goodbye on his way to Arizona. Once at ASU, he gave what was essentially the same speech he gave when he got to Pittsburgh, a great to do about the school being a dream job, integrity, yadda yadda. Maybe not as well known in Michigan, but go to a Pitt fansite and ask them their opinions about Graham. I guarantee you, faith and folksy mannerisms will not be in the top ten list of negative things you hear.

Output: Being a true freshman QB is a lot less of aproblem when you are A.) An elite talent, B.) throwing to an elite WR, and C.) Facing a team with no pass rush. Right now that's check, check and check. Which in not to say that we WILL need him at PSU, but on the road, in a very hostile environment, we may. But your statement was broader than that, and if you don't think we'll need him against MSU, or maybe even to generate some pass rush against pass-happy Indiana, I don't know what to say.

Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] It's purely anecdotal, so [Body]

Output: It's purely anecdotal, so take it for what it's worth, but in a similar situation I've seen a similar move produce positive results. In Wannestedt's last year, the O-Line was thin, the center an undersized JUCO. The Panther's got off to a woeful start, couldn't move the ball against lowly New Hampshire, got trampled and embarassed on national TV by Miami. They reshufled the O-Line and had a substantial increase in tehri play. They wound up with a respectable(ish) 8-5 record, which they likely would not have had if they stuck to the original configuration for consistency sake. As I said, it's anecdotal, but it impressed upon me that O-Line, like everything else, must be subject to change, and that change may potentially yield positive results.

Output: They also have the advantage of not having an in-state competitor for Ohio kids, which remains a pretty large talent pool. If you're a top recruit from Ohio and you want to stay close to home, OSU's got the edge in a big way. MSU and UM are in a forever battle for Michigan kids, essentially splitting them. Imagine if we were the only high major school in Michigan; our classes would probably look a lot more like OSU's.

Output: I think this season's going to be a hell of a lot more fun than the one we were looking at when we had "expectations."


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Walton [Body]

Output: Yeah, man. You can't rag on Walton right now. Dude can barely walk without limping and yet he's leading the team in minutes and put the team on his back for much of that second half. Walton's lack of burst is not intrinsic to him as a player. He had that burst just last year as a freshman. Dude's a warrior. A rather damaged one. But a warrior, just the same.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] What a great loss! [Body]

Output: I was at the game. It was a thrill ride and a half. I have felt pretty lousy about certain wins in the past, but this is one of the few times I feel genuinely great about a loss. Before the game, I watched VCU, which got pummelled by Nova last night, do some pummeling of their own against an Oregon team we squeaked by. I was expecting a brutal learning experience. What we got instead was a game in November(!) where our incredibly young team learned that they could hang with one of the best, most experienced teams in the country. In fact, they were a ludicrous block away from beating that team! But teams learn more from losses, and losses keep 'em hungry. We have so much to grow from, and so much already there. This team needs some of Stauskas' swag in their step. They've earned it. I would have loved a win, but man, what a great loss.


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Title] If anything, I feel like [Body]

Output: If anything, I feel like McGary's situation should be proof to everyone that they should get out when the gettin's good. Even though it sucks for UM bball. McGary's back injury would be a lot less devastating if he were on the books for a cool million.


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Title] Don't forget Horford! [Body]

Output: 5th year senior. Great blocking ability. Leader on the court. Next year will be Horford's team. And Beilein will likely try running his two bigs lineup. I would be shocked if Chatman redshirted. Though the 2/3 is going to be crowded and no one's gonna be a good fit for the 4.


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Title] What is this logic? When he [Body]

Output: What is this logic? When he wins, it's thanks to his players, but when he loses, it's because he choked?


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] Has anyone given serous [Body]

Output: Has anyone given serous consideration to the idea that GRIII might play his way out of the draft, while Nick plays himself into it? ESPN's mock draft not long ago had Stauskas in the first round. But if GRIII doesn't show up, we could see this lineup next year: Walton - so Levert - jr Irvin - so GRIII - jr Horford - sr And Chatman...somewhere. That seems...good?


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] Mr. Yost, I'm not sure that [Body]

Output: Mr. Yost, I'm not sure that was an insult.

Output: Michigan 77-68


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Michigan 69-62 [Body]

Output: Final 5 minutes of victory cigar squad yields some last minute points for Bradley making the score look deceptively close.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Where is the hope? [Body]

Output: 10 years ago, we hoped for better players, since it didn't seem like Carr was being outschemed, just outmatched, by better players at USC, Texas, or OSU. 7 years ago, we hoped Carr would soon retire, and with that retirement would see the end of DeBordian incompetence and risk-aversion induced face-palming. Under Rodriguez we hoped he'd find a sentient defensive coordinator capable of fielding even a mediocre devense. We hoped that the FreePress jihad would die out and that recruiting would pick up as a result. Now, as you've mentioned in writing and in your podcasts, we're coached by bafflingly stubborn dinosaurs who insist on drinking from a lake long after it's dried up simply because that's the lake they've always drunk from. With the state of college football changing all around them, where is the hope for the future? That they suddenly adapt? In what world does Urban Meyer not out-scheme them year in and year out? Even if our recruiting stays steadily awesome, we're still just keeping pace with OSU. So talent being equal, do we just have to wait for Mattison to produce insanely elite defenses? Should we give up on the hope that our offense will ever be remotely threatening? Should we expect that our ceiling is 11-2 from now until the end of the Borges era?


Input: [Date] 3 years 9 weeks ago [Title] Living in the Shadows [Body]

Output: I'm a little curious why an outstanding player would want to wear a number already dedicated to a previous legend. For instance, Ace, you wondered at the end of your article how Denard would feel about wearing 27, but by keeping the 16, who knows? Maybe his number might one day be honored as a "Michigan Football Legend" and wouldn't that be preferable? Don't players want to make their own mark on the program, rather than exist in the shadow of their predecessors?


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Title] Novak [Body]

Output: The idea isn't to reward good high school players who choose to go to Michigan. It's to award players for what they meant to the program while they were here. Furthermore, the suggestion that Novak would be out of place on this or any list of Michigan greats is absurd. In collegiate athletics, talent alone doesn't define greatness. More often than not, such accolades are bestowed by the students and the fans and the teammates who rallied around and for that player, and followed that player to places beyond their own expectations. Greatness in college sports has to do with leadership and the ability to mold a program in one's own image. Not only is Novak the paragon of such criteria, none other than Cazzie Russel said he'd want Novak by his side in a foxhole. When was the last time a single player has meant as much to his program as Novak has meant to the MBB team these past four years? I'd string that ZERO up next to Russell's in the rafters in a heartbeat if I could.


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Title] Years at Michigan [Body]

Output: I feel like the years a player spends in a Michigan uniform needs to be taken into consideration. I loved Morris last year, but he had a lousy to average Freshman season followed by a transcendent Sophomore season before bailing for the NBA. Is one great season in a basketball uniform worthy of the HoF? Similarly, if McGary averages 20 and 10 next season and helps us get to the Final Four, but leaves right away to the draft, should he get honors? Players like that are great for the program, but ultimately flashes in the pan and don't carry with them the same history and legacy that a Novak, Molk, Martin, or Hunwick do. I think there ought to be a minimum years in uniform threshold to be considered for the HoF. 3 years seems good.


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Quintuple! [Body]

Output: Quintuple! Welcome Chris Fox! Go Blue! What a day!


Input: [Date] 1 year 9 weeks ago [Title] Start hammering us? [Body]

Output: We are 2-11 vs Ohio State in the past 13 years and 1-5 vs MSU the past 6 and expected to lose to both again this year. I think it's already started.


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Title] Not desperation just smart roster building [Body]

Output: from a smart head coach. Beilein didn't originally anticipate this staff would start churning kids out to the league after 2 years. He doesn't want to get caught with a bare roster again. And as much as we all get caught up in the recruiting hype because we see the instant impact it has in bball, it is unrealistic to think that we are going to real in a 5 man class full of studs. Most of the elite kids aren't recruitable because one way or another they are getting something we won't offer. There will still be plenty of scholarships available but not we also have a good base of kids who should be here to fill out the roster, like spike, and possibly overlooked kids who can really blossom under this staff, like Caris. Who by the way was a May committ.


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Title] I love the in denial Michigan fan [Body]

Output: I know in response I'll just get called a clost sparty because that's how the world of tough internet guys works but the idea that the only reason they are a force on defense is because they cheat is beyond ridiculous. Coaches areamongst the most competitive people in the world. If MSU's schemes and defenders weren't elite and it was just clutching and grabbing every other school would be doing this. It's like the people that try to say Beilein and company aren't elite and we just jack 3s, Give credit to coaches who are elite at what they do. It's embarrassing to try to make excuses instead of tipping your hat.


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Title] Show me the seniors on the o-line that can play [Body]

Output: like the seniors on the d-line did in 2011 and I'll believe


Input: [Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Title] I would agree if [Body]

Output: they hadn't weakened the starting rotation while also not upgrading the bullpen. Good news is the division is embarrassingly awful and the tigers have elite talent so they will easily win it and from there the playoffs are a crapshoot and they have verlander and scherzer to potentially ride to a ring. But they need to add some bullpen pieces and sign stephen drew after the summer draft or find a ss elsehwere for the whole defense/baserunning upgrade to really show from last season in my opinion.


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Title] I think players should be able to benefit [Body]

Output: but it becomes tricky because if players can take money from boosters then recruiting becomes even messier than it already is. Sign here and we guarantee a booster will buy your autographed picture fo x dollars


Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Title] One unlucky 1 seed is going to get OK State on their 8/9 line [Body]

Output: Hope it's not us


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Title] It's my fault [Body]

Output: I've been stocking that for good memories a lot recently. Watched sweet 16 Kansas game last night. I appreciate it man.


Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Title] I thought it was common knowledge every team in the country [Body]

Output: Is 100% healthy every season except Izzo's?


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Title] 2012 Buckeye game [Body]


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] I didn't realize they hang banners for "getting nothing" [Body]

Output: If this is how you honestly feel about the best basketball season the program has had in 20 years I feel extremely sorry for you


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] That's the equivalent of saying you can't play prevent defense [Body]

Output: in football when the other team has the ball at midfield with time for one play left because it isn't how you would normally defend a play. Interesting idea but I don't agree.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] No fake punt fear in the special teams section? [Body]

Output: I mean we gave one up to them last year in the 4th quarter when that was pretty much the only way they could come back and score


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Mods on rivals [Body]

Output: posted that they told campbell they were full at wr after not knowing who he was which amused him and the only interest they had in scott is at db


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Title] They weren't there for Campbell [Body]

Output: Still seems weird you wouldn't know about a recruit that talented but it's not like they suddenly forgot why they were there. They wanted to see if Cole was solid or if there was still a chance.


Input: [Date] 4 years 9 weeks ago [Title] It says 141 [Body]

Output: For the MSU game. But that can't be right either because there can't be 39 days in between the opener and MSU. It has to be a multiple of 7


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Title] 1999 [Body]

Output: Good early win over ND 26-22, tough win on the road over Wisconsin, terrific comeback down 10 at Penn St in the 4th, Brady to Quise with about 5 minutes left to beat OSU, OT win over Bama for our only BCS win, not bad...


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] I don't think [Body]

Output: anyone is on the hokey pokey bandwagon here except in a "screw you we aren't going to sink to the level of the freep and other quasi michigan fans who actively tried to get RR fired" sort of way we all want michigan to win big, this seems like a win medium move but whatever we'll see how it goes


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Ha [Body]

Output: I made the same mistake because i didn't trust rodgers staying in if he got hit again. Even better i ALSO had freeman on my bench as an option and went kitna.


Input: [Date] 4 years 33 weeks ago [Title] Don't Forget [Body]

Output: Harbaugh


Input: [Date] 4 years 34 weeks ago [Title] He's Not [Body]

Output: Going to be back. Not my personal feelings it just makes no sense for DB not to announce he is coming back while all the speculation builds and recruits jump ship. And if DB is too dumb to realize that then we have a whole new set of problems.


Input: [Date] 4 years 34 weeks ago [Title] I'm Not [Body]

Output: Rooting one way or another since at this point i am confused and can rattle off a lot off good reasons to keep RR and a lot of good reasons to bring in Harbaugh. But isn't it pretty obvious that DB wants Harbaugh? It doesn't make any sense not to say RR is staying if he wants him to stay. Either he wants Harbaugh but doesn't know if he can get him or he knows Harbaugh is coming but they didn't want to blow things up before Stanford's first big bowl in over a decade.


Input: [Date] 4 years 34 weeks ago [Title] National Championships [Body]

Output: Can we please stop using national titles as the criteria by which to determine whether you are rooting for a change or want RR to stay. We won a title in 97. That was our first in 50 years. We are not a powerhouse program that rolls of national titles left and right and we never have been. We need a coach who can consistently compete for big ten titles Whoever that is is who we need whether you think that is RR or Harbaugh but to say you don't want Harbaugh because that will condemn us to going 9-3 and 10-2 all the time but never 12-0 is just stupid. I don't know if you have been under a rock the last 3 years but i would kill for 9-3 right about now.


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

Output: RR doesn't emphasize the game or understand its importance. I just think he is fully aware of how outmatched we are and that it would have a negative impact on the kids and the program to go into these games shouting off about hating OSU and having to win this game and then get blasted.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Caputo [Body]

Output: Is a moron. Everything he has said in the past 5-10 years I remember ever accidentally hearing him speak is stupid. I am amazed he can monkey a keyboard well enough to cobble together columns that would be embarrassing for an 8th grader to turn in. I don't think Tressell is concerned about coaching a specific way to beat us and make sure RR doesn't get fired. It's not like he was struggling before RR took over. Things like that really make me scared to live in a world where people like that are allowed to do anything that would possibly influence people. I don't think I am overstating that.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] It's based off current [Body]

Output: It's based off current standings and MSU hasn't had its off week yet so they have a half game on OSU and Wisc and Iowa at 5-1 compared to the 4-1 conference records of the other 3


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] If OSU [Body]

Output: beats Iowa then Wisc and OSU will go to the BCS and sparty can enjoy their one breakthrough year landing them in the capital one bowl


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Not That Many Choices This Week [Body]

Output: The week of THE GAME also features Oregon-Zona and Auburn-Bama


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Wow [Body]

Output: It would be embarrassing to give an extension to a guy who is 13-19 in 2+ seasons at a school used to competing for conference championships. If you are saying it still leaves the out to fire him after the season then what is the point? A lot of recruits will decommit if he is fired even if the quasi 2 year extension made them feel better right now. And if you believe he can turn it around with help from a whole new d coaching staff then the move is simply to not fire him.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Seriously? [Body]

Output: The defense is terrible and RR seems like he may have been a step behind in realizing that and addressing it in recruiting as he focuses on the offense. If Brandon doesn't think RR can turn the defense around he should fire him. If he does then he should keep him. But please don't waste time trying to make the argument that RR should have tried to run an offense he is not familiar with, with 2 bad QBS, a terrible O-Line, no WRS and no healthy RBs. That 2008 offense was going to be terrible regardless, and in case you hadn't noticed, Michigan is averaging 35 points a game and 30 in Big Ten Play. Offense is not the problem.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Big Ten [Body]

Output: If Iowa beats OSU doesn't MSU get the bid? 3 way tie between iowa, wisc, and msu. None of the three teams beat the other two so iowa gets eliminated by virtue of having the worst overall record because of their nonconference loss to zona which leaves wisconsin and msu and msu won the head to head matchup


Input: [Date] 4 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Who Is [Body]

Output: The other ordinator?


Input: [Date] 4 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Our Secondary [Body]

Output: Can't take a breather against anyone because Never Forget


Input: [Date] 4 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Neg Me [Body]

Output: I am not adding anything knew but just wanted to reiterate and agree with people who posted the ridiculousness of sayinh we have it better than Florida and Texas. 2 titles for florida in the last 5 years and 2 bball titles (we don't have a bball program), 1 title for texas and 10 wins every year except this one and one fun season with durant (again we don't have a bball program)


Input: [Date] 4 years 39 weeks ago [Title] No [Body]

Output: That would just reinforce the BCS supporters' claims that the BCS is great because everyone has the chance to make it. If they wanted to change they would have already changed.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Does Anyone Remember [Body]

Output: Nick Sheridan, Injured Steven Threet and Injured Tate Forcier. I would be 100% good if Pryor had committed to Michigan.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Not Indiana [Body]

Output: We forced them to embarrass us but lose a close game through the air. That's what I'm talking about baby.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Believe It or Not [Body]

Output: George isn't at home please leave a message at the beep. I must be out or I'd pick up the phone, where could I be? Believe it or not I'm not home. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ria37d9mInY


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] You're [Body]

Output: Welcome


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] I'm Not Going To Say [Body]

Output: People shouldn't be frustrated for losing. I think what people are underestimating is the pressure having such a bad defense puts on every other play. It is hard going into a game knowing you need 40 to win. That puts a lot of additional pressure on every offensive snap that leads to penalties and turnovers because in all honesty an interception feels similar to a punt so might as well throw it up and give your guy a chance to make a play instead of throwing it away and punting. I don't advocate giving free passes but until the defense becomes average every single play is going to feel like life or death and lead to mistakes you wouldn't otherwise see.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] I am really confused [Body]

Output: As to why losses to two top 15 teams has all of a sudden caused so many people to conclude everything is going to hell. Before the season given the youth and inexperience on defense most people were hoping for 7-5. 7-5 teams lose to top 15 teams. Otherwise they would be winning 9 or 10 games. If they can't beat Ilinois or Purdue please feel free to freak out and immediately ask for a new coach but otherwise why not hold on for the rest of the season and see if returning a starting a loaded offense and probably more importantly experience on the d line and in the secondary can lead to some noticable improvement on the field. Losing is not fun but unless you think there is a homerun coaching option to turn to it makes much more sense to hang on this year and see if we can start turning the corner next year. I think we are better off firing him a year too late than a year too early. Harbaugh will still be available after next year and i don't even know who else is a viable candidate that would be exciting at all.


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Title] I'm way late [Body]

Output: And am not adding anything new so neg away but it really kills me when the losing team in any game says the winning team was not better. If that is the case they would not have won. Sure MSU didnt stuff our offense like dopey sparty fans want to believe, but you have to execute to win and we did not execute. Also they stopped trying to score in the 4th when they knew as long as they didn't turn the ball over we couldn't come back so even giving us 18 points we didn't earn still only has us up 1 needing stops the entire 4th quarter which we know our D is not ready for yet.


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Haha [Body]

Output: I love the poster mentioning that Denard has no chance of playing ahead of Brantley. How's that working out florida?


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] I am sold [Body]

Output: on anything that involves less 3 man rushes, gets roh rushing the passer, and limits ezeh's exposure even though he seems to be the nicest guy in the world


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] It feels that way [Body]

Output: Since this is right now but I would argue the 07 Ohio State game was bigger. Big Ten title on the line.


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] I love [Body]

Output: All the effort everyone has put into researching past teams (not sarcastic) but I think given the fact that last year we all said it couldn't get worse than ND since we would gain experience and ND had a pro qb, 2 pro WRS, and a huge o-line and then it got worse or at least stayed bad i am just taking a wait and see approach and not assuming we are going to see much improvement. Unless we start rushing 4 more consistently and try tighter coverage umass has already shown that teams can consistently hit 6 yard passes and move the sticks on us. I'm not saying those changes will do anything, I'm sure the reason we drop 3 and rush 8 is the fact that the coaches are terrified of the huge plays that wil be given up otherwise, but at a certain point you have to make the other team hit one or two over the top with increased pressure on the qb as opposed to running the same thing and expecting different results. Praying for michigan to upset sparty saturday (don't care what the line is msu is a more complete team), then take care of business against ill and pu and have a shot at 1 out of iowa, wisc, and psu, and then get to next year with a stacked offense and hopefully more bodies on defense. go blue

Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Title] Wow [Body]

Output: Until this post I didn't know ESPNU wasn't available in HD. I mean who watches ESPNU?


Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Title] plus one for awesome avatar [Body]

Output: plus one for awesome avatar


Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Title] On OSU running up the score [Body]

Output: I don't have a problem with Pryor being in the game since it was still the third quarter and even though there was less than 1% chance EMU would come up back you still need to officially put a team away (see Michigan-Ball State 2006) I also could understand needing style points if both osu and bama go undefeated and boise probably will be as well and possibly even oregon and i can also understand trying to take pressure off pryor by letting him blow up so the talk can be about his monster game instead of his poor reads and arm punt interceptions in a season where you are expected to go to the title game but calling a throwback pass to the qb up 25 in a non rival, non bowl game situation is uncalled for. and seems pointless unless the vest threw down a large pre season wager on pryor to win the heisman


Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Title] haha i love the grammar on [Body]

Output: haha i love the grammar on the blog


Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Title] Praying [Body]

Output: That Woolfolk can play next year, sounds like it is a pretty brutal injury to come back from Also hoping the impending nfl lockout means mike martin is staying no matter how good a season he has Don't see how a year more of experience for demens or fitzgerald could be worse than current ezeh probably only real loss is mouton but at least there are options which is not something we've had recently


Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Title] That's Not True [Body]

Output: A facemask is a penalty regardless of whether or not the defender was able to tackle the ball carrier or not. Pass intereference is independent of whether or not the receiver catches the ball. Holiding/clipping/chop blocking is dependent on executing the action. You can't hold a guy you never touched just because you were trying to reach out to stop him from getting by you. If you don't touch him it is not a penalty.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Impressive [Body]

Output: but all that list really confirms is what blog followers who believe in rr already knew and what idiots elsewhere should have known. RR knows EXACTLY what he is doing on offense. The problem is he needs a coordinator to run the D and the fact that he even picked shafer to begin with terrifies me about as much as the GERG is scaring me now. RR will terrorize opponents with his offensive knowledge combined with michigan level recruiting but defense is what will ultimately decide his job


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Debbie Downer [Body]

Output: I wouldn't bank on T Wolf being back next year. That is a brutal injury that will probably take a while to recover from just to be able to run normally. Also with the defense I'm at the point where I need to see it to believe it. We do have athletes coming in at multiple positions which is exciting but who knows whether CC is ready as a true freshman or whether the Angry Michigan Safety hating God will ever let us progress from doom to anything above sub par at that position.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Sorry [Body]

Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] What [Body]

Output: Is the point of this diary?


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Can We Relax [Body]

Output: On the idea that the concerns on the team (special teams, defense, options besides Denard) will only get better as the season goes on. That theory didn't work out too well last year. One game at a time.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Not A Touchback [Body]

Output: Only a touchback if the ball had gone through the end zone or if a Michigan defender had jumped on the ball. You can't challenge a loose ball and arbitarily award it to the other team, the best that could be done would be ND ball at the spot of the fumble.

Output: One play doesn't make up for getting beat consistently but to his credit he did flatten his man to the ground and in the process picked off a safety tying to get over on denard's 87 yard td. Big Win. Go Blue!


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] @ magnus.....Im tired of your hating dude [Body]

Output: Im tired of your hating. I remember reading very positive comments about Denard, and you immediately follow with how many interceptions he threw in the last 5 or 6 games. I could pull the atleast 5 or 6 links slick, so theres no need for you snarky ass comments in response i have proof. Have you considered how many records this guy broke for Michigan this year, and how he kept us in games all year long. Yea, you could pull some random ass stat to try to prove your point but its use less, Denard is special, and you and your mgopoints can go straight to hell. Bottom line, show love and respect where its due or shut the hell up!!! "i like Denard" .....this is bs. stop. Stay Classy Drew Magnus.


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] The question is... [Body]

Output: The question is, will an Nfl team give Denard a shot. If they do and he's successful, it might help to change the perception that you have to be 6'5 to play QB in the Nfl.


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Rich Rod was brought here to run the spread [Body]

Output: It was no "mistake" to change the style of offense in year one. He runs the spread, thats all he runs, and he was brought here to change the offense and he did so.


Input: [Date] 4 years 32 weeks ago [Title] Copy and paste, huh. [Body]

Output: Copy and paste, huh. Just bcuz he copied and pasted doesnt mean the point is not valid.


Input: [Date] 4 years 32 weeks ago [Title] In 1995 [Body]

Output: In 1995 whatever. Cmon, this isnt 1995, the 90's were the shit (see 90's hip hop music). However in 2010 kids are much more aware of the coaching situation and how it may affect there chances at going pro. The 2011 decomits and guys who dropped Michigan due to this coaching change situation prove my point. Hi Dee Hart, how are you?


Input: [Date] 4 years 32 weeks ago [Title] Yet another translation [Body]

Output: Yet another translation "I dont like his accent, or his swag."


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] I noticed more RB runs with Tate too. [Body]

Output: Although i noticed that the running backs got more carries with Tate, i am not at all concerned about this. Denard is probably the most exciting player in the country with the ball in his hands. So im ok with Denard not handing it off as often, the only thing that concerns me is the durability issue with Denard carrying the ball so much.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Exactly [Body]

Output: It seems that most of our fellow fans think that Denard was "struggling". To those who think that, see the video, consider how we moved the ball! Consider the penalties, the fumble, the blocked FG that Denard had nothing to do with. Denard didnt struggle, we moved the ball just fine. See his stats for the game. And I also think that people who make the Tate in passing situations are delusional. Lets review, Denard has led 2 come from behind (obvious pass situations) game winning drives, one of which he was 5 for 5 passing (on the road). And one more thing to the "Tate should be have more snaps crowd". Denard is just as likely to break a 60 yard run, in fact, Denard is waaayyy more likely (based on his big play ability vs Tates BPA, see Denards first play from scrimmage ever, or his heisman resume throughout the first 5 games 2010) to make a big play for a touchdown in a catch up situation then Tate is to throw a 60 yard touchdown. So my question to the Tate on 3rd down, Take if we get behind by 14, Tate for president crowd is, ARE YOU SERIOUS??


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Our defense isnt as bad as we looked today. [Body]

Output: Every team has a game or two per year where they dont look good. Today we witnessed this first hand as our team barely beat out a Umass team who we should have taken care of with no problems. So Im going consider this as the 1 or 2 games a year that your team simply doenst play good. No need to panic though. Youve all seen the UFR from the past 2 games and honestly the defense didnt look too bad (beside the obvious Cam gord issues). Cam Gord, will be ok, i think he learned, i think he will continue to learn, and as "all" real Michigan fans hope and believe, Camron G. will get better. In fact, i think that Cam is going to be a nice safety. I think with more practice, and experience he's going to start blowing people the hell up and picking off or batting down passes regularly! Today the D looked pathetic, but i think that the D will recover and look sharp during the next couple games.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Denard all day son [Body]

Output: Denard will dust this guy (griffin) off... translation, Denard will smoke this guy. Denard will get in this guys ass... this guy will get walked by Denard. Nuff said!


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Look at it like this [Body]

Output: Look at it like this, most of the guys who left were 3 star guys. The 3 star guys who left will be replaced with 4 and 5 star guys next year. It all has to do with the team winning games. I am firm believer that this team will win atleast 9 games this year. So if you consider that we will have a winning team, and a winning team means good recruiting, then im comfortable saying that i think that the guys who left will be replace next year with guys who are higher rated.

Output: " I come right off they butt, and thats where the hole is"...........lol....nice.


Input: [Date] 4 years 51 weeks ago [Title] Tate needs to speak up, and step up. [Body]

Output: Even if Tate has a valid reason for missing practice or workouts, he clearly hasnt communicated that reason to the seniors on the team. I dont think that Troy would have made these comments if there was a valid reason that Tate Communicated to him.


Input: [Date] 4 years 51 weeks ago [Title] Go away [Body]

Output: I wish this guy would just call it a career and simply go away.

Output: Will Tim Tebow will ever be a starting QB in the NFL??


Input: [Date] 5 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Manny is a pussy, submit to the testing!!! [Body]

Output: I'll whoop Manny ass and then i'll run for office in his country. Im kidding, but i got a cousin who will whoop his ass though. Dont you hate the guy that says that he has a cousin that can do anything. He has a cousin that boxes, plays in the Nfl, and of course his cousin is the best rapper in the world. Sorry about that guys, but the "i have a cousin guy" kills me. Anyways, i have swag, and i talk shit, and by the way, i am hoping and praying that Demar Dorsey makes in to campus in the fall!! Michigan Football needs some swag. By the way, all of my cousins would get destroyed by Pacman, dont tell them i said that though. Manny is seriously coming off as a bitch and a cheater, he needs to submit to olympic style testing. Not just Manny, all professional athletes that participate in all professional sports.


Input: [Date] 5 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Im torn on this one. [Body]

Output: Mayweather: 1- speed, speed, speed 2- Mayweathers defense is sick. This dude hardly ever gets hit. He's slick, smart, and avoids being punched. When is the last time you seen Mayweathers face beat up after a fight? Never. 3- Mayweather is undefeated, and might be the best ever...arguably. He's so good, that people say that he hasnt fought anyone. They also say that he only fights great fighters when they are old. Its not that he hasnt fought anyone, it’s that he makes good fighters look like scrubs. Mosley: 1- speed, speed, speed. If mayweathers speed is a 99, then mosleys speed is a 96. 2-Mosley has fought some good fighters in his career. He's fought the guys that others avoid. He's fought in superfights. Remember the mosley vs de la hoya fights. De La Hoya was no slouch in the late 90's. In fact, in my opinion, these two guys (De La Hoya and Mosley) were he best in their class in the late 90's. 3- Mosley has speed, and power. This is a deadly combination. Yes, Mosley is waaaayyy stronger than Mayweather. Mayweather might get knocked the hell out tonight. See Debo's work on Friday part one. In my opinion this fight is gonna come down to Mayweathers defense vs Mosleys power. They both have speed and they both have experience, so those things cancel each other out. If I were placing a bet, I'd bet on Mayweather, but I'd be very nervous about it. This is gonna be a great fight. I wanted to see Pacman vs Mayweather just like the rest of the world, but this may arguably be a tougher fight for money may. I cant wait.....!!!


Input: [Date] 5 years 13 weeks ago [Title] Thats whats up!! [Body]

Output: Im gonna have to buy BG jersey to go with my Vick jersey. Thats right, i said Vick jersey.


Input: [Date] 5 years 13 weeks ago [Title] No, stop, and dont. [Body]

Output: Denard should not switch postitions. Its my opinion that the NFL is moving away from the old school pocket passer. I think that we will start to see more and more hybrid qb's who can not only pass the ball, but run as well. Vick, tebow, Pat White are all examples that support my opinion. By the way, i think Tate should move to punter. Kidding, relax.


Input: [Date] 5 years 14 weeks ago [Title] This sux [Body]

Output: Guru is the man, knew he was sick and in and out of a coma, so i was trying to mentally prepare myself for this. Dude will be missed, this is sad day for the hip hop community..RIP...


Input: [Date] 5 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Scoreboards [Body]

Output: Whats up with the old scoreboards? The stadium needs some high tech HD new school Jerry world type scoreboards. They can put them right where the old ones are. And if they are big enough, they might help hold the sound in.


Input: [Date] 5 years 23 weeks ago [Title] 2nd chances [Body]

Output: They believe in second chances, but only if you've served time for assaulting people and you wear green on saturdays.


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

Output: Dude, dont pay attention to the point system. Mgoblog is just like anything else in life, people will hate on you if you dont agree with them, or what they have to say. Fuck it, just express your opinion openly, and tell the haters to suck a fatty.


Input: [Date] 5 years 24 weeks ago [Title] @smittyd - Dude its no big deal [Body]

Output: Your not being a jerk at all. The jerk is the guy who tried to correct you in the first place. This is just another case of some a-hole trying to be the internet grammer security gaurd. Dont worry about it.


Input: [Date] 5 years 25 weeks ago [Title] I like his "swag" [Body]

Output: He reminds me of a young Chad Johnson/Ochocinco. I love players who talk trash, but also are the first guys to help a guy up after a hard it or good tackle. Another good example of a guy that talks major trash, but is an excellent team player is Kevin Garnett. The most important thing to having swag is that you whoop ass on the field. I hope that Dorsey can balance his swag with good leadership, and good on the field play.


Input: [Date] 5 years 31 weeks ago [Title] You cant be serious [Body]

Output: Pacman is being a bitch about this. How can you fault mayweather for wanting to make sure both fighters are clean. In sports we are trying to close the book on the steriod era, this just helps that cause. I think manny is acting like a bitch.


Input: [Date] 5 years 31 weeks ago [Title] I hope that he gets five years [Body]

Output: I think that in 2011 Michigan will be making a run at the big 10 title and be ranked 10 or better in the bcs. Call me crazy but i have a gut feeling like sam webbs recruiting gut feelings. I actually have some reasoning behind my gut feeling though. By 2011 Rich Rods system will be in full swing. Not only will he have players that fit the system, the players will have 3 years of experience in that system. And in addition to that we are talking about guys who will be much bigger stronger and faster than they were as freshman or sophmores. The problem here is that i dont know if he's gonna get the time (4th year). The worse thing that could possibly happen is that Rich Rod gets fired after 2010. Which means that in 2011 a new coach will come in and use Rich Rods "full cabinet" to make a run at a big ten championship. It would totally suck to hear all the Rich Rod haters say "i told ya so,". 2011 will be the year. I just hope that Rich Rod is still here to enjoy it. And by the way, in 2010 Michigan will win 8 games.


Input: [Date] 5 years 32 weeks ago [Title] He finally gets recognition for something [Body]

Output: Not only is Tiger the Athlete of the decade, but he's also the Pimp/Player of the decade too. And according to well established "man laws" we as men have to respect him for that. As far as Tiger vs Federer, all i have to say is. Who gives a shit about tennis. At the end of the day how many men secretly wish they could be Tiger Woods. The money, ho's, clothes, and the lifestyle. Be honest with yourselfs.


Input: [Date] 5 years 34 weeks ago [Title] I agree with Blueisgood, [Body]

Output: 4 to 5 years should be the standard. There are variables, and in RR case the cupboard was definitely bare, and 2 to 3 studs cannot make up for the lack of experience or talent at key positions.


Input: [Date] 5 years 34 weeks ago [Title] I like Money May in this fight [Body]

Output: I respect Pacman, he's a hell of a fighter, but i think that Mayweather's defense, speed, and slickness will be too much for Pacman.


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Body] I think Detroit Catholic Central could be considered a pipeline or a developing one at that. Wyatt Shallman, Matt Godin, walk on QB Garret Moores, and of course Mike Martin are from CC [Title]

Output: I think Detroit Catholic


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] As a Catholic, I think it is completely inappropriate to take this kind of a cheap shot at anyone's religion. I don't think he would like if someone said "You can't trust the Mormons because they have multiple wives." Stereotyping people based on their religion isn't cool. And I dislike Notre Dame strongly but this is too far [Title]

Input: [Date] 15 hours 47 min ago [Title] I dunno, I think the logo is [Body]

Output: I dunno, I think the logo is oddly appropriate for Army football as of late: outdated style stabbing themselves in the head. Seems to work.


Input: [Date] 16 hours 14 min ago [Title] Also, what are they going to [Body]

Output: Also, what are they going to do with Woodson's #2? I thought the Legend's jersey kind of solved that, but I guess they're going to have to retire it at some point as well then.


Input: [Date] 16 hours 17 min ago [Title] Can't they just make a place [Body]

Output: Can't they just make a place for them in the stadium? Isn't there a bunch of blue space above where the windows end in the suites/press box and below the roof of said boxes?


Input: [Date] 16 hours 29 min ago [Title] Count me disappointed about [Body]

Output: Count me disappointed about this. I liked it, and I like that it was unique. If they're not going to be on the field, I hope they put up a ring of honor or something at least. This feels like another over-compensation to burn to the ground the Brandon/Hoke era, much like Brandon/Hoke did to the RR era. I would prefer a more nuanced approch, but whatever. Just win games.


Input: [Date] 6 days 9 hours ago [Title] Ah yes. Perfect logic. One [Body]

Output: Ah yes. Perfect logic. One shit game is why a whole people can't get into a sport. I suppose you will never be able to get into football ever again because of the Rutgers game last year as well? Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] Microsoft just recently [Body]

Output: Microsoft just recently signed a contract with the department of defense for 3 years and $617 million dollar software deal. So Michigan has some catching up to do, and yes, I understand the difference between the military and amateur sports. This just provides a little perspective.

Output: If it is said speedway, this poster will be very disappointed, considering he lives 5 minutes down the road from said speedway.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I kind of see your point, but [Body]

Output: I kind of see your point, but convincing someone to do something against their own interests using lies or misleading data is not usually OK. In fact, in most industries and professional fields, that's usually against the rules or laws. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I did the exact same thing [Body]

Output: I did the exact same thing and don't regret it a bit. But then again, I was probably addicted to my TV, so cutting the cable was good for me even beyond the savings.

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Agree. Honestly, I haven't [Body]

Output: Agree. Honestly, I haven't been that impressed with her so far. Or at least she hasn't lived up to expectations. DiCicco called it out on air; when she has her back to goal she turns the ball over. Germany will know that cold.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] That was a really tough [Body]

Output: That was a really tough physical game as well. Lots of fouls, and both teams looked gassed at the end. And the US gets Rapinoe and Holiday back. Should be a good game. Really hope the US can pull it out, but I still doubt they can win it.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Shame it ended with only 1 [Body]

Output: Shame it ended with only 1 goal, but it definitely looked like the US' best game in the tourney so far. I think taking out the usual veterans, especially Wambach, really helped shake up the offensive flow.

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Being a sports fan with no [Body]

Output: Being a sports fan with no connection personally to the people on the team (and that's the vast majority of all of us) is an inherently irrational venture to begin with. I've just chose to fully embrace the irrationality. It makes things much less stressful. So, yeah, Harbaugh coaches at UM, which is the team I'm a fan of, so whatever he does is fine. As long as he wins.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] UM cannot legally talk about [Body]

Output: UM cannot legally talk about this to the public due to privacy laws. Pipkins can say whatever he wants, and UM can only give PR appropriate 'he's still part of the team' reponses. Just the law man. We'll never know what really happened from both sides.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Yes. Exactly. Do you not [Body]

Output: Yes. Exactly. Do you not yet know that this is how sports fandom works?

Output: Sources, man. Sources.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Yeah, I don't get it. UM is [Body]

Output: Yeah, I don't get it. UM is coming into this season under the limit anyway right? And Pipkins is a senior so they don't need him to quit now to make room for the next class. Unless this all happened in the spring and they were still trying to get another transfer in?


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Because Harbaugh is front [Body]

Output: Because Harbaugh is front page material, that's why. This stuff has been re-hashed a hundred times with Bama, but Saban has been doing it for like 7 years and won a bunch of Nattys, so no one cares anymore. But Harbaugh sells right now.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Also included: Pipikins is [Body]

Output: Also included: Pipikins is transfering. Harbaugh apparently didn't invite him to fall camp. Woowee, Harbaugh continues to be interesting. Both good and bad. But damn, it's so disappointing toee Pipkins' career arc. I was probably more excited for him than any other recruit under Hoke not named Jabrill Peppers. I have no idea about his medical fitness, but this does reek of shadiness. And here I was most ashamed that he never got his redshirt his frosh year. But hey, as I said before, Harbaugh coaches for UM, so whatever he does is OK now so long as UM wins.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Often with Harbaugh, I [Body]

Output: Often with Harbaugh, I honestly cannot determine if he knows exactly what he's doing, or if he has no idea what he's doing.

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Its time for Fran Tarkenton to shuffle off [Body]

Output: Given the way Stabler lived his life its amazing he lasted this long. I wonder if Kenny's switch-hitting made it into his book.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] kinda sorta [Body]

Output: Well, the flexbone is *kinda* like the wishbone. Its really a cross between the wishbone & run-n-shoot. These days the R&S portion of the attack isn't run so much. But when the scheme was first used at Hawaii 25 years ago the shoot was a significant factor. There are other differences as well. In the typical wishbone the fullback lines up much closer to the QB than the B back does in the flex. As a result the physical profile of a B back often looks much different than the traditional bone fullback.

Output: And that splitter enabled Roger to become just the 2nd manager in history to take a team from 100+ losses to > 0.500 in his first season. The best manager in history, Billy Martin, did it *3* times.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] some things have improved [Body]

Output: The Pointes do have more interesting restaurants than when I grew up there. Way more.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] true but..... [Body]

Output: In many ways RO does indeed have more going for it. But strictly on the subject of schools Berkley is definitely in better shape.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Woods, Farms, Park, Shore & City [Body]

Output: There are 5 Pointes. And they're a tad more diverse than you think. And after the real estate crash, quite a bit more diverse


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] there is an alternative [Body]

Output: Schools are decent in Berkley.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I can see that [Body]

Output: East of Woodward a couple blocks south of 9 used to have a pretty high WT quotient. There used to be a decent sweet spot that started maybe 3 blocks south of 9 and went to a little south of 8 1/2. Never got too familiar with the west side just south of 9. Really use to love the neighborhoods northwest of 9 & Woodward.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] what neighborhood? [Body]

Output: That might depend on the specific block in Ferndale. Close to RO Township? Not good. Close to 8 Mile? Not good. And you wouldn't believe it but there is some crime right on 9 Mile steps from the police station.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] not so fast [Body]

Output: Schools in B'ham ain't what they used to be, depending on the building.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Fashionable. Fabulous. Funky. Most of the time. [Body]

Output: There is definitely a hipster happening in Ferndale. But the schools..... depending on the building violence can be a problem.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I hate this [Body]

Output: Darn it, its Grosse *Pointe*. The Woods is nice, but unfortunately its not quite as nice as it was a generation ago. Royal Oak? Schools are very uneven.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Title] ftw [Body]

Output: HARBAUGH.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 1 day ago [Title] its a trap! [Body]

Output: Best listed alternative to Fighting Sioux? Admiral Ackbar of course. Ole Miss' loss could have been UND's gain.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Title] been there [Body]

Output: I gotcha. I was 7 or 8 and went with the family to a well-known ice cream place in Traverse City. Its Friday, warm, tourist season. Like the last Friday in June. Threw up right in the middle of the crowd just moments after getting daquiri ice. Absolutely cleared the place out within 90 seconds. Dad consoled me in the car afterwards by explaining how the owner had just a dozen weekends to make enough money for the rest of the year.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Title] not fair [Body]

Output: Any thoughts of non-play action aggression were long ago choked out of Davis by Ferentz.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 2 days ago [Title] but your way works too [Body]

Output: I think this is even better learned.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 3 days ago [Title] better talent than App State [Body]

Output: That Eastern Washington squad was no joke. They would have been pretty good in FBS.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Title] waitaminute [Body]

Output: Ball State was uber spready. SDSU not so much.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Title] pot meet kettle [Body]

Output: Well, if they are afraid of war porn make sure they don't read Ibn Ishaq.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] follow the money [Body]

Output: Its less about morning/afternoon and more about budgets. The News had deeper pockets. Always did. And a few years before the JOA the ENA started a morning edition to compete directly with Freep. It cost a ton but was steadily eating the Freep away.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] um, no [Body]

Output: Back in the old days DN had a larger staff for more in-depth stories. A few times per year the Sunday edition would go all out on a subject that kicked off a weeklong series. There was detail you couldn't get anywhere else. Freep could never hang with that.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] snatching defeat from the jaws of victory [Body]

Output: The Evening News Association should never have signed the JOA. They had the Freep on the ropes. A couple more years and it would have been the Freep folding up shop.


Input: [Date] 2 years 43 weeks ago [Title] i agree [Body]

Output: corners did need to be exposed, but in the correct manner. having denard in the pocket with 7 rushing and getting in denards face while he throws off balance is not the way. denard needed to be under center with a 2 step drop throwing to a wide open wr on a quick out. the ND corners were 10-12 yds off the line on almost every play. let our guy make a play one on one with their guy. our guy wins it's a great pick up, their guy wins it's still a positive play of 5-6 yds. MSU beat our heads in with this under RR. it works USE it!


Input: [Date] 4 years 49 weeks ago [Title] TE? [Body]

Output: wonder if he has the build to bulk into a sure handed TE?


Input: [Date] 5 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Damn Bando [Body]

Output: who's side are you on? "if/when LC ever issues a statement" . thats the one thing that could take care of the whole mess. just have the most "Saintly" of all fucking college coaches ever" just issue a statement that he backs RR and the Mi. football team and a lot of this stuff will go away. to sit quietly at home and letting your name get used as a way to sabatage your schools program and team? and not say anything? thats just shit LC!


Input: [Date] 5 years 19 weeks ago [Title] no probably [Body]

Output: probably wouldn't have believed him either, although i might if he answered straight the first time and seemed credible. as for creepy. what i think is creepy is a guy spending time answering posts with whatever stupid shit comes out of his mouth and believes he is being either funny and cute.


Input: [Date] 5 years 19 weeks ago [Title] nope [Body]

Output: not really cuz just because you've now taken your meds and seemed to have calmed a bit, you're just making shit up. which is why in the post i asked for helpful insight. hoping to keep posts that have nothing to do with the topic to a minimum but i guess i asked for too much from the mgocommunity. my mistake, carry on all.


Input: [Date] 5 years 19 weeks ago [Title] did you forget to take your meds dave? [Body]

Output: don't remember asking for a minute by minute break down. there have been numerous threads talking about them being "gym rats" work-out warriors" etc. i have not heard about film study so i asked. as for your question i do not know what is normal either but i do know i do want some time spent there.


Input: [Date] 5 years 19 weeks ago [Title] yes! [Body]

Output: it really does matter to me personally. i want a smart QB back there reading the defenses and just chewing them up for yards and TDs. i would think that that would matter to all of us.


Input: [Date] 5 years 25 weeks ago [Title] very true [Body]

Output: +1 to seth. as i have been saying to my friends. i'd love to see an after signing day grading scale kinda like what the NFL has done. they evaluate the draft based on need and pick-ups. we needed a lot and got a lot.while i think ours was a very good class based on need and lack of depth. i will take exception to the fact that osu had a good class also. let's look at a few facts, osu has beaten us for quite a few years, been co or outright big 10 champs the last 4 or so yrs, just won the rose bowl, and this was the best they could do? we on the other hand have gone 3-9 and 5-7 and have pulled this kind of class, needs or no needs. if we can manage a 8-4 season with a good bowl game(win or lose) the recruiting of RR will soon put the big 10 championship in our hands more years than not.


Input: [Date] 5 years 26 weeks ago [Title] don't know about you! [Body]

Output: but i never forget about mike cox.


Input: [Date] 5 years 27 weeks ago [Title] ok mango66 [Body]

Output: i understand your concern that maybe we used to "pull" in nothing but 5-4* star recruits. but go look at past yrs with Carr. nothing really great the last 5yrs. also i might ask "what did all these 5-4* fantastic recruits do for us"? that's right NOTHING! pull your head out of your ass and let RR recruit "his" guys and actually give him time to coach them. if at the end of 5 yrs we havn't done any better with RR i'll help you pack his bags and send him on his way, but for now stop whinning!


Input: [Date] 5 years 27 weeks ago [Title] true [Body]

Output: all the ncaa(well i'm sure not all) would have to institute is "that if a school where said recruit has previously signed a NLI early. if that school then changes head coaches before the normal NLI day. then recruit can request out of the early NLI with-out penalty. if coaching changes after normal NLI day then all previous rules about recruiting still apply" thank you for your cooperation. sincerely the NCAA


Input: [Date] 5 years 27 weeks ago [Title] well i would agree magnus [Body]

Output: except that it isn't the "school" that produces 1st round talent after 1st round talent. i believe that that has to be put in some part(ok mostly) on the coaches. those coaches are gone(sneaky pete). while lane so far has not shown that same ability as a HC to get the talent to the next level. Tenn IMO under-achieved for the talent level he had.
