Input: [Date] 3 years 43 weeks ago [Title] As of 2010- "In discussions" to return... [Body]

Output: I read an article from the Slippery Rock athletics website that was written about the members of their team who came to the Wisconsin game last year and the article said: "The salute to SRU was the brainchild of UM Director of Athletics Dave Brandon, who has revived the tradition of announcing Rock football scores during Michigan home games. A special hooded sweatshirt with The Rock logo emblazoned in UM's Maize and Blue colors is also on sale through one of Michigan's licensed vendors. Brandon has also initiated discussions about The Rock returning to The Big House to play a game, according to Lueken." The entire article is here: http://www.rockathletics.com/news/2010/11/22/FB_1122101637.aspx


Input: [Date] 4 years 19 weeks ago [Title] well, if it's anything like [Body]

Output: well, if it's anything like football, they'll just name it the Mason-Berenson Cup.


Input: [Date] 4 years 19 weeks ago [Title] Is anyone else having any [Body]

Output: Is anyone else having any problems with the CBS streaming? Mine has been saying "loading" for at least 15 minutes.


Input: [Date] 4 years 20 weeks ago [Title] As it is, we are at the [Body]

Output: As it is, we are at the critical mass of bowl games where there are barely enough eligible teams to meet the number of slots. Last year, only 2 schools (Temple and Western Michigan) were bowl eligible, but weren't invited to a game (Western, probably because of their poor attendance figures the previous year as Brian had mentioned). All it would have taken would be for 3 schools to decline an invite based on financial considerations and these ridiculous ticket limits would have been front and center as one bowl would either have to back off on its ticket/hotel guarantees, or force the prospect of folding a few weeks before the game. As Zone Left noted, the real issue is that the power conferences need to take a stand and prior to signing agreements with these games, they need to force a removal of these guarantees. As expansion consolidates more power to a few major conferences, one would think that a greater degree of leverage would follow because the drawing power of Big Ten bowl slot #5 is far greater than most of what the ACC, Big East, etc. can bring to the table.


Input: [Date] 4 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Old v. New [Body]

Output: Outside of Mattison, the difference isn't that great between what the previous assistants were making and the new staff. Assuming Hoke gets $1.5M, the difference between the total staff salaries would probably be rather negligible. For the record, the top 3 assistants on Rich's staff were: C. Magee - $285k G. Robinson - $273k T. Gibson - 224.7k The rest of the coaches were getting about ~$185k except for Braithwaite at $135k, but you can see these (and the rest of your favorite Athletic Department personnel) here: http://www.umsalary.info/deptsearch.php?Dept=Athletics&Year=0&Campus=


Input: [Date] 4 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Did anyone else notice how [Body]

Output: Did anyone else notice how Groupon incorrectly lists the gametime as 5:30 instead of 6:30? Of course for Groupon HQ and other fellow Chicagoans like myself the tip is 5:30 Central, but last I checked Ann Arbor didn't fall into the CST. Looks like the new CMO is at work trying to look for creative ways to fill up Crisler. As mentioned above, it's the same deal through the AD, but it does hit a different demographic of people not privvy to the Athletic Department's original messaging.


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Title] This just reminds me of the [Body]

Output: This just reminds me of the time when George bought John Voight's car. I'm sure Jerry spells his name with a "G" occasionally just for fun.


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Title] RE: Michigan Replay Music [Body]

Output: I remember seeing an old Michigan Replay from the early 80s on WOLV-tv that used the Across 110th Street intro, but then I believe they went away from it for a number of years before bringing it back sometime into the Carr years. This has to be a matter of public record. We really need the Athletic Department to start putting up old Michigan Replay's on mgoblue.com for our viewing pleasure.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Guinness only counts people [Body]

Output: Guinness only counts people who showed up as spectators (people who bought a ticket and were present in the stadium on the day of the game plus a few other non-ticketed personnel, such as the band). Michigan's attendance counts tickets sold (whether they showed up or not) plus the band, team, concessionnaires, ushers, media, etc. -- essentially everyone who would be present in the stadium. As far as the original number, that figure was what Guinness used to initially certify that the record had been broken and to have the presentation on the field during the game. They were still totalling up final ticket figures at that point, but they knew that a record had been broken, so they felt comfortable announcing it and having a press release that the media picked up on. (Granted, some in the media mis-interpreted the release to be the final attendance count, but it was still a works in progress) EDIT: Beaten by a few minutes...why do I write so much?


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Even if Patterson was [Body]

Output: Even if Patterson was contacted, would he really have informed anyone, let alone some random radio station? He's trying to keep his own recruiting class in place, not lose goodwill with TCU, etc. so unless an offer is in hand, no potential candidate is going to say to the media "hey, Michigan called."


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] H.S. vs. College [Body]

Output: The high school posts are wider than the college and pro versions, so they are wider compared to what we're used to on Saturdays. High School - 23 feet, 4 inches College - 18 feet, 6 inches I've also been curious how much extra distance one gets by using a tee on FG's like in the video. So, if he can kick a 60 yarder with a tee, does that equate to a 45 or 50 yarder minus the tee? Anyone with a kicking background know a rough estimate?


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Looks like Brian may need [Body]

Output: Looks like Brian may need to increase the MGoPoint threshhold for starting a thread again.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Sorry you didn't get the jist [Body]

Output: Sorry you didn't get the jist of my comment. All I was saying is that from a financial gift standpoint, there's only so much that the university would allow you to earmark your gift for. In this case, Braylon was (correctly or incorrectly) allowed to earmark his funds to the most finite detail, which is what has created this debate. My point was that the university would gladly allow me to make a significant contribution, but there comes a point where goodwill and generosity turns into over-involvement and meddling with the way the organization is run (be it athletics/football or whatever). I think Braylon getting over-involved with the way the coach runs his football team crosses the line by using his number scholarship leverage.


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

Output: For the record, the endowment for a scholarship is not $500k/year. It's a one time $500k donation that because of the University investing the money and interest on that investment allows the scholarship to continue forever. The problem really lies with the Michigan Athletic Department allowing Braylon to stipulate to such a specific degree who would get his scholarship and essentially giving too much of a voice in the activities of a coach running a football program. Instead, the AD should have allowed the scholarship go to a Wide Receiver (and it could have even gone to a WR of the choosing of his Foundation), but letting him tie it to a specific number goes too far. I'm sure the university wouldn't let me endow a scholarship for the person who resides in my old dorm room and then get upset when the housing office selects someone who I don't deem "worthy" of the honor of residing in the hallowed halls of 5th Hamilton.


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

Output: The last time I went (around 2004), the Michigan section was behind the endzone in the open part of the horseshoe. Purdue was pretty decent and came in with only 1 loss and I already had tickets, but I approached a scalper by the basketball arena just to see what the market was like and he had a whole fistful of tickets and from "negotiating" with him, it was definitely a buyer's market. Fast-forward to today: both teams aren't as good as they were back then, so, I doubt the game sells out (especially with an early kick time). Worst case you should be able to buy them for face at the box office if you can't negotiate your way in for less.


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

Output: Since it sounds like you have the data, I'm curious...what are the numbers since State joined the Big Ten in the '50s? No doubt that across the board, Michigan Athletics have been more dominant historically than MSU, but it'd be interesting to see a more apples to apples comparison.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Licensed retailer [Body]

Output: It's interesting because a number of these shirts have been up for quite some time...and it's not like they're much different than the guys with the stands on the street who have ripped off a number of the designs for their own profit. I wonder if this has more to do with who is selling them and their relationship to the University as opposed to what is being sold. To my knowledge, before buying Moe's, Underground Printing would produce t-shirts angled toward Michigan (like the MGoShirts), but never use any University trademarks. Now that they run Moe's and sell licensed material, the University has more control to threaten UGP with revoking their agreement to sell licensed product like jerseys, hats, etc. Perhaps a lawyer can speak to this more, but unless they go on a major cease and desist binge and shut down the shady push carts, then I think it's a targeted threat at a licensed retailer.


Input: [Date] 5 years 5 weeks ago [Title] n/a [Body]

Output: It's a video like this that truly captures the greatness of sport, and the reason why so many of us keep coming back. Yes, sports may occasionally cause us agony and heartbreak, but that moment of euphoria shared with our friends and family, or complete strangers from far and wide is a thing of beauty and will never get old.


Input: [Date] 5 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Stadium configurations [Body]

Output: FA, you are my hero for bringing up the Polo Grounds. I wish that park was still around because there definitely needs to be a stadium with a small cutout that makes it 485' to center. As for the L.A. Coliseum, they did host a Dodgers exhibition game a few years ago (attended by 115,300 people) in commemoration of the team's 50th Anniversary of their move to the west coast. (Note the giant net in left field to eliminate on the 200+ foot home run).


Input: [Date] 5 years 15 weeks ago [Title] n/a [Body]

Output: Mike Stevenson is the consummate professional. When I heard that they were replacing the Oosterbaan astroturf back in '01, I went to him with the outlandish idea that I wanted to see if they could cut me off a piece to use as "carpet" for my dorm room. He was more than accommodating, asking for the desired dimensions we needed and even giving us the '4' from the 40 yard line as part of our piece. Hopefully he has a happy phased-in retirement...and if he needs some turf for a dorm-sized room in his house, he knows who to call.


Input: [Date] 5 years 19 weeks ago [Title] Just the Facts ma'am [Body]

Output: And to think, I read the thread title and figured that maybe the Michigan Theater was having a "Joe Friday Night" and Judge Smails was a big fan of classic tv.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 1 day ago [Body] If he tweeted that after the thing about the 49ers being 7-4, he has since deleted that, as well. I couldn't find it. [Title]

Output: If he tweeted that after the


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Maybe he didn't like how he phrased his response. It's not easy when people are picking apart every single word used in 140 character bursts, and looking for positive signals or something that suggests a lack of credibility. [Title]

Output: Maybe he didn't like how he


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I suggested to him that the 49ers would have been 7-4 at the time of these alleged initial discussions. He responded that it might explain why interest was low at that point. I responded again that it would have been an distraction (with Harbaugh reasonably focused on making the playoffs). He deleted his response to me. I'm not sure why. I always find that odd. [Title]

Output: I suggested to him that the


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Brian has cited him in some of the coaching search updates. Moss has been around a long time. He has some sources. This isn't totally random internet rumormongering. [Title]

Output: Brian has cited him in some


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I think he first tweeted that day that the press conference would be held and that Brandon would be fired. It beat everyone else. It wasn't a random guess. And, he's not really in that business, from what I can tell. That said, I'm not the guy who you mock for buying every internet rumor that comes along. I totally get the skepticism. And, I don't care what you all believe. I'm just saying that the salt that goes with this report in particular should probably be of the grain and not the boulder variety. [Title]

Output: I think he first tweeted that


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I'm not saying he's right about this, but I think he had Brandon's firing before anyone else. Brian might vouch for that. [Title]

Output: I'm not saying he's right


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I think you are reading too much into it. Read the next sentence after he mentioned bowl games: "They may be in bowl games. They may be…you know, wherever they are in their status..." I don't think you can make any judgment at all about a pool of candidats limited to college coaches based on that statement. [Title]

Output: I think you are reading too


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 4 days ago [Body] This probably wasn't intended to be a diary, but I'll just point out that it seems unlikely to me that Harbaugh would be stupid enough to go to Miami given the acrimony in that front office. Have you read the backstory on Aponte? It doesn't sound like she's going anywhere, and if that's true, Harbaugh would be jumping from one bad situation to another. I'm not sure even Ross's money could paper that over. [Title]

Output: This probably wasn't intended

Input: [Date] 44 weeks 4 days ago [Body] There was a problem with the broadcast in the Atlanta area (and possibly others). They screwed up the regional coverage such that ABC and ESPN2 were both showing Texas A&M vs. SMU. This continued until some point in the 3rd quarter when the complaints must have finally bubbled up to the people who fix these sorts of things. At that point, the UM game became available on ESPN2.

Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Body] I'm guessing "DB" isn't "wondering what happened to Beilein and the program in such a short time frame" because Dave Brandon is smart enough not to evaluate the status of a major program by only looking at a three week period in which nothing that could be construed by any reasonable person as "negativity breed[ing] negativity" took place.

Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Body] For what reason do they need to travel around the country and "get the former players pumped up?" I'm not being a smartass. I really don't see why it's necessary. I'm not saying they need to spend all of their time watching film like has been suggested above. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Butler lost two starters and they were pretty important. Gordon Heyward was their best player and a lottery pick in last year's NBA draft. Willie Veasley (who now plays in Japan) was a critical defender that, like Heyward, could guard almost anyone. Their struggles early this season were almost entirely related to defense. They've found a way to make up for those losses. [Title]

Output: The remarkable thing I never quite realized before I watched this yesterday was how Sham was basically even with Secretariat for the first minute and then Secretariat puts on the after burners and by the end they can barely keep Sham in the same shot. That horse was ridiculous.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Title] In the show, Stannis wouldn't [Body]

Output: In the show, Stannis wouldn't do it as he's been characterized. Like even ignoring the moral calculus and the whole his brother rebelled against exactly this kind of nonsense things, the one redeeming feature they've given Stannis is that he loves Shireen. AND even ignoring that, he's a stickler for the rule of law and he just created a succession crisis in the case that he wins, because HE HAS NO HEIRS. This plot is so stupid, which is a bigger sin than the whole "expect the very worst thing to always happen on this show (except to Dany who will get bailed out by dragons)."


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 days ago [Title] This is relatively simplistic [Body]

Output: This is relatively simplistic view of what happened to the middle class. A lot went into it. Trade deals certainly, changing tax policies, decaying infrastructure, reduced union representation, the rise of the service economy, most things requiring a college degree at the same time tuition costs skyrocketed putting people behind for owning a home etc, rising medical costs, and I think swinging the benefit packages more towards the high end is naturally going to lower the amount available for the average worker. Lots of contributors. Another problem that is related to the plight of the middle class is the sort of general decline of meritocracy, where a multiple failure like Dave Brandon keeps failing upwards into positions of power. There was always a good ole boy network but it seems to me there's a general lack of accountability if you're powerful enough (politicians and bankers being the obvious examples here). Agree on short sightedness being a major problem. As for the political point. I think reducing that to a purely partisan thing is mistaken. I agree more with say, Warren Buffett than Charles Koch, but I don't want either of them to be able to finance entire presidential campaigns. It limits access and what viewpoints politicians hear, and that's a problem and yeah, that subverts democracy and replaces it with plutocracy. Also populism is not strictly left or right wing, it's just populism. It's an appeal to the masses that they're not getting a fair deal because of those other people. The other in question could be business interests (usually lefty), academia (right), or more toxic insinuations (the famous Atwater quote). That's all populism.

Output: Sucks for whoever was the last guy on their roster.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Title] She's not getting ahead and [Body]

Output: She's not getting ahead and so is more consistently getting in trouble. Though I agree, she really only made one mistake after Haeger had a great AB. The double was also a superior piece of hitting. That said, Wagner totally jammed her and has been dominant since she got in on Friday.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Title] We played pretty poorly and [Body]

Output: We played pretty poorly and barely lost to an extremely good team that's defending their national championship. Loosen up and believe they can win like they did the last two innings and we're in solid shape. Hopefully Wagner starts and continues to dominate.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Title] No, it's not. With nobody [Body]

Output: No, it's not. With nobody out if you're not sure it's defensible to stay. She should have seen the SS's back and been sure so it was a mistake. With 1 out you go 100%. With nobody out you can play it a little safe and count on Sweet to put the ball in play. Also, we should credit the Florida shortstop with a very good play. Susalla hit that ball hard.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Damn. Sierra's gotta score [Body]

Output: Dragonglass is just obsidian (volcanic glass).


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Nah, there are a bunch but [Body]

Output: Nah, there are a fair number but not all that many. The only other one explicitly mentioned on the show (I think) is Heartsbane, which is the Tarly family sword. Sam's dad thought he was too much of a coward to ever wield it which is why he got sent to the Walll. DVD extras mentioned a couple others. They're basically family heirlooms that most of the prominent Westerosi families have. Except the Lannisters, who lost theirs because one of Tywin's ancestors went to investigate the Doom and never returned. So they stole Ice and melted it down.

Output: In this episode she learns that a dude is selling fraudulent life insurance and Jaqen has authorized some harsh assassin-y justice for that crime.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Brienne's wandering is about [Body]

Output: Brienne's wandering is about two things, which are related (and a third thing, probably): 1) Just how awful the War of the Five Kings was for the smallfolk 2) Establishing why the Sparrows are suddenly a big movement with enough power to basically seize control of the church and then imprison the Queen and Queen Mother. and 3, probably) Show us the Hound is still alive and part of the movement towards the Faith. It shouldn't surprise anyone if he's the Faith's champion against Zombie Gregor and finally gets to resolve his whole arc. Or die horribly freeing Cersei, depending on how the Giants did when Martin was writing that section of Winds.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Title] They know the ending, as he's [Body]

Output: They know the ending, as he's known the ending for 20 years or so. It's how to get from A -> B that he struggles with. And as not a huge fan of this season + casting news indicating they're going back for a bunch of plots from AFFC/ADWD that they ignored this year like the Greyjoys and the Kingsmoot and Victarion's fleet, the show is as well. But more importantly, Septon Meribald is getting cast, so that's pretty awesome.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Jon having plot armor in that [Body]

Output: Jon having plot armor in that fight was a little obnoxious as well as anonymous bad ass Wildling women not fighting back because zombie children and her death being foreshadowed super, super hard. Otherwise easily the best episode of the season, though I still don't think it's anywhere near the quality of the first three seasons.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Body] To be fair, FSU did lead for Blanding for awhile before FSU lost almost their entire defensive staff. Not sure any FSU insider thought Blanding was an option after Stoops left. I'm just glad he isn't a Buckeye. I would like for Michigan to get more of a presence in the 757. [Title]

Output: To be fair, FSU did lead for


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Body] We still very much lack natural pass rushers on this team. Ojemudia is still at least another full year and half away from contributing effectively. Taco is the one I'm looking forward to seeing. [Title]

Output: I don't think we're close...


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Body] Not sure. I do think Michigan is starting to get personnel to give them the opportunity to be more 3-4. I don't think it'll happen formally. Mattison, I believe, wants to become more multiple. I could very well see more of a 3-4. I see a heck of a lot more 5-techs on this roster than 9-techs. [Title]

Output: Not sure. I do think


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Body] No one is saying that he's a super recruit. I don't think he's ever going to be a top 5 DT. But, some staffs DO get on prospects earlier than others do. That fact doesn't cease to be the case just because "under-the-rader" recruites are becoming rarer. [Title]

Output: Well


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Body] It's funny how different people can see different things on film. My thoughts are almost precisely the opposite. I think he uses his hands very well but doesn't seem to have great speed or quick-twitch ability. He looks more like a plugger to me than a penetrator. [Title]

Output: Funny...


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Body] The "Michigan got in early on a prospect who was on the verge of blowng up" is essentially accurate. Mone has slowly been adding better offers as time goes on, and Michigan got in on the ground floor. You're not seeing SEC power exactly knocking down his door....at least not yet. You seem to take it as an insult to get on a kid early. I think precisely the opposite is the case. A good recruiting staff can evaluate talent. Your chances at landing a prospect dramatically improve if one can identify talent and develop relationships early. You really do not want to use other programs staffs as your evaluators. That typically doesn't work out in the longrun (unless you are Alabama and they are famous for doing it). I personally don't see much of the Mike Martin comparison as I think Mike was more athletic than Mone but Mone is a LOT bigger. If they stood next to each other, you'd wonder how they could be playing the same position. [Title]

Output: The "Michigan got in early on


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Body] I agree that it looks like we got in pretty early on a guy that is going to start garnering some bigger offers. I like his size and his use of hands is surprisingly good. I don't see great athleticism on film and he doesn't look like a penetrating type DT at the next tackle. I see him as more of a 2-gap player that would fit in well on a 3-4 team. At Michigan, I think he's a 1-tech all the way. Looks strong as an ox, and a guy that is going to maintain leverage. [Title]

Output: Good pickup


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] We have a great shot at McDowell. We have very, very little shot at Hand. As of right now, Hand is a VTech/Bama battle with VTech as his leader. Everyone else is WAY back. Things can change, but people are getting their hopes up on him probably isn't wise. [Title]

Output: We have a great shot at


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] Blanding's a great player that the Michigan coaching staff likes a lot. I think they will push for him. Right now, he's a pretty heavy Virginia/FSU lean, but things can always change. He wants to commit very early...as in this spring, so Michigan better act fast if they want to get in the game. I'm less plugged into the Brown recruitment. [Title]

Output: Blanding


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] Do you guys honestly think this is any different than what the commitments of any other school are doing? All these kids are doing the same thing at every school. Some of you act as if you started following recruiting yesterday. [Title]

Output: Wow...


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] While it may be an "opinion" that Hand is not going to end up at Michigan, it is a VERY sensible one. I would be utterly shocked if he ended up anywhere other than Virginia Tech or Alabama right now. Does Michigan have a shot? Sure. But, we are WAY, WAY behind right now in his recruitment and that is not merely an opinion. [Title]

Output: Well


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Body] Which coaches SPECIFICALLY visited Da'Mario from Alabama, FSU, and Georgia? I'm 99 percent sure that at least 2 of those schools did not have any coaches in the state over the last 2 weeks. [Title]

Output: Very skeptical


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Body] I've been talking about the FSU momentum in regards to McQuay for sometime. It's going to be close. [Title]

Output: I've been talking about the


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Body] Not surprised by this at all. The hire at Pruitt at FSU is what is causing the delay. [Title]

Output: Not surprised by this at all.


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Body] Not a fan of those uniforms at all, but I've always despised our move from maize to electric yellow. I'm surprised more traditionalists don't complain about the very fundamental problem of Michigan no longer wearing its true colors anymore...new uniform design or not. [Title]

Output: Not a fan of those uniforms


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Body] As mentioned before, I feel he ends up at FSU. We will see what happens. [Title]

Output: As mentioned before, I feel


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] No, I don't know everything. Just letting you know my opinion. [Title]

Output: No, I don't know everything.


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] OK, I didn't mean to say that McQuay isn't interested in Michigan. He is. I would put Michigan as the 4th most likely school for him to land at right now. [Title]

Output: OK, I didn't mean to say that


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] I don't believe Michigan is/was ever a very serious player for McQuay. I think that until somewhat recently it was a Vanderbilt/USC battle. However, I would not at all be suprised now if he ended up at FSU. 1.) It is in-state and there are many people around LM3 that would like to see him stay closer to home. 2.) While it hasn't been very widely reported, he was extremely impressed with his official visit to FSU. 3.) While FSU losing DC/DB Coach Mark Stoops to the Head Coaching job at Kentucky set FSU back in their recruitment of McQuay, the persistent rumor is that FSU will be hiring Alabama DB Coach Jeremy Pruitt. Saban considers Pruitt a future star in the industry and he's one of the top 5 assistant coach recruiters in the United States. 4.) There has not been a lot of contact between McQuay and the Michigan coaching staff recently. [Title]

Output: McQuay...


Input: [Date] 3 years 5 days ago [Body] I like this commitment a lot. We have been on the outside looking in for both Fuller and McQuay for quite some time. Waiting any longer would have most likely resulted in us getting a much lesser player at CB than Douglas. And Douglas is a pretty darn good player in his own right. [Title]

Output: I like this commitment a


Input: [Date] 3 years 5 days ago [Body] A couple of things: The Elite 11 is not chosen by Trent Dilfer alone. It is a collaborative effort of all the QB coaches at the event. It is inaccurate and unfair to blame Dilfer alone if you disagree with Shane being left out of the Elite 11. The Elite 11 is a "process-oriented" camp, and from what I've read, Shane is a "results-oriented" QB prospect at this point (not a good thing). Good process + Good result = Expected. Good process + Bad result = Bad Luck. Bad process + Bad result = Expected. Bad process + Good result = Luck. From what I've heard and read, Shane made a ton of good throws at the camp but repeatedly went to the wrong place with the ball. It may have looked good to some scouts but not the coaches. Making a throw to the wrong place is generally NOT what you want a QB to do even if his physical skills will sometimes allow him to get away with it. When you have success by making the wrong decisions and reads, you are typically getting lucky. I think that's what happened here at least from the coaches' point of view. This is what I've read anyway. I'm sure it will not change opinions. [Title]

Output: Careful about homerism...


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] Most major programs do not have the "no visit" policy. There are advantages and disadvantages to it. [Title]

Output: Hoke's policy is not typical..


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] This type of event does not a suit a player like McCray. He's not going to wow anyone with he speed and athleticism running around in a 7on tournament. I really don't think his performance out in Oregon should affect his rating. You want to see this kid in pads taking on and shedding blocks. What COULD affect his ranking, though, is the fact that he's only 6'1". He is a lot smaller than most of us believed he was. I'm not familiar enough with McCray on film to tell you whether his lack of size will have much of a negative effect on his college career, but I do know scouts are pretty sensitive to kids who end up being a lot smaller than their HS coaches report. [Title]

Output: As others have mentioned...


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] Take a look at 247's evaluation. They say he is more athletic than people give him credit for which presumes that people don't think he's all that athletic. Not sure where you get the idea that virtually everyone says he has high athletcism when 247's scouts believe they are going against the grain by calling him athletic. I think he's going to be a really good player. I just wanted to mention what I think is the chink in his armor. I only mention it because I often see a ton of completely biased homerism when evaluating recruits. If you see good quick twitch athleticism on film, I suppose we are looking at different players. I'd say it's his biggest weakness (he doesn't have many). "He reads the play and is more athletic than people give him credit for, and is one of those guys that if you go to a camp or see him at a 7-on-7, maybe he is not as high on your list, but you put him in pads and you can really see this guy having a great college career and playing a lot in the National Football League." [Title]

Output: Take a look at 247's


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] He probably runs the 40 yard dash a full second and half faster that Erik Anderson. [Title]

Output: Maybe..


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] Farrell's review of Charlton matches what other guys who were at the event told me. Take it for whatever it's worth. It shouldn't be surprising, though. It had already been well known and well demonstrated that Taco is not very good right now from a technical standpoint. However, he's got a nice frame and good athleticism (not a "freak" as some above have stated. That term is overused). Let's just say athleticism is one of his strengths, and he's one of the most athletic DE's in Ohio this year. His review of Shane is a bit perplexing to me. I would agree that he had the best arm strength at the camp, but I'm not generally a huge fan of Shane's mechanics. His relatively low release point and pushing motion can sometimes lead to inconsistency. It leads to great days (Columbus) and very average days (Dallas). With that type of release, you are not sure what you are going to get on a given day. That said, he was probably the most physically gifted QB there along with Max Browne. I thought Hackenberg looked the smoothest and threw the best deep ball, but he made a ton of poor decisions. Speaking of mechanics, Browne has precisely the opposite problem that Shane has -- very high release point and an exaggerated over the top motion (very slow). It's a similar problem to what current Florida State QB EJ Manuel had when he came out of HS. Both Shane's and Max's problems with mechanics are fixable with good coaching and a lot of hard work. [Title]

Output: Not to piss on parade...


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] If there is a chink in Bolden's armor, it's definitely his athleticism. He's not really a quick twitch athlete and is a bit stiff in the hips. Not sure how Helmholdt or others could miss that on film. That said, he's not a bad athlete, just not a great one. I think he could be really good. [Title]

Output: Chink in his armor


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Punch the idiot ump for not overturning on replay too [Body]

Output: It was clearly going to clear the yellow line without the fan interference. Seriously, what in the flying fuck is going on with replay reviews this year? There have been quite a few calls that should have overturned. The only thing that I can think of is that the replay ump is protecting his fellow umps, by letting some of these calls stand.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Title] The Tigers are just not an intelligent team at the plate [Body]

Output: Game ending double play was the perfect example of that. JD should have been looking for a pitch up to at least get the tying run in, instead he stupidly swings at a pitch low in the zone on the very first pitch. He should have elimated the low pitch as something he would not swing at before even going to the plate. There is a reason why this team is somehow is at the top in OBP( which actually could be higher if they took more walks) and BA, but in the bottom half of the AL in runs scored. They are just awful at using their heads at the plate, with regards to situational hitting. The added speed is going to waste, because they don't do the little things to scratch out runs. Hate to say it, but barring a move or two at the deadline and V-Mart turning into last year's version, the window might have already closed.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Have we been watching the same game ? [Body]

Output: The Wings actually have more scoring chances than TB, they have played far better today than in game one.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Actually feel better about this series after today [Body]

Output: It is strange to say down 4-0, but the play has been pretty even today in terms of chances. In game one the Wings didn't look like they belonged on the ice with TB, despite the win.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Title] They have played much better [Body]

Output: They have carried the play at times, unfortunately one of those strange games where the scoreboard tells a different story.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Title] That is fucking bullshit [Body]

Output: How the hell did the Red Wings get an extra penalty out of that? TB started the whole thing.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 2 days ago [Title] All the prosecution had to prove is that he was there [Body]

Output: Under the law they have, whether he pulled the trigger or not didn't matter. Admitting he was there was actually a idiotic move on the part of the defense, given that fact.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Somebody in the other thread said these were [Body]

Output: the same officials from the title game against Louisville. Is that true? If it is, what in the fuck were these jokers doing near another title game?


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Didn't catch the names of the officials [Body]

Output: Are they really the same ones, who officiated the title game against Louisville? If so, they have possibly cost two teams national titles. They should have been nowhere near a title game after the previous one.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Tigers should still be the favorite in the division [Body]

Output: Even with the question marks and the improvement of the Sox, they still have the most starpower in the division. The Royals lost some key pieces, and the Indians will still have the same flaws they had last year. The combination of Cabrera, Martinez, Martinez, and Cespedes could be the best 3-6 in the game and will be very difficult for opposing pitchers to deal with. The one and two combination of Price and a healthy Anibal Sanchez at the top of the rotation, regardless of what happens with Verlander is still top notch. I think non-Tiger fans underestimate Sanchez, the guy was the ERA champion in the AL two years ago. The bullpen, Verlander's performance/health and other question marks like the leadoff spot against righties might keep this team from reaching it's ultimate goal again, though.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 1 day ago [Title] True [Body]

Output: The foul that was called on the wrong Louisville player and should have fouled Hancock out of the game was arguably even worse.


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] Was not able to watch the game [Body]

Output: 16 free throw attempts to 2, and 13 fouls to 5 seems pretty slanted. Looking at the box score it looks like they outplayed or at least matched Wisconsin in most areas, shot a higher percentage and made more field goals. Like I said I wasn't able to watch, so I don't know if the officiating was as one sided as it appears, but I would hate if a team with as much heart as this one had their NCAA dreams ended, due in part to bulllshit.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Counterpoints [Body]

Output: 1. Stanford was an absolute wreck before Harbaugh arrived, even a great recruiter would not be able to walk into that place and bring in top 10 recruiting classes. Stanford's recruiting classes in 2009 and 2010 (after he had established himself) were both significantly better than anything Stanford had brought in prior to Harbaugh arriving. Before arriving at Stanford he was also not on most people's radar as a great coach, that is clearly not the case this time around. Given the fact that Hoke and his staff were able to bring in a couple of top 10 classes I think you are being somewhat delusional, if you don't think a guy with Harbaugh's pedigree and his staff can't do the same. 2. You can win with any style. Harbaugh didn't have Alabama like talent at Stanford either, but that didn't stop him from going 12-1 in his final year. Offense regardless of what a team runs still ultimately comes down to execution and having a good gameplan. Acting as though a defense can't slow down a spread offense with a good gameplan and execution is also silly. You are also assuming that Harbaugh is more rigid than he actually is, his teams at Stanford while being heavy pro style also utilized some spread elements and SF was also one of the first teams in the NFL to start using the pistol. Harbaugh is not Hoke, his staff will call the game in the manner that it takes to win. 3. If he wins more games than the previous two HC's here none of that will matter. Winning solves everything. I am also not sure where you getting that he wore out his welcome at Stanford to an unfathomable degree, he left for he thought was a better job. Do you really think Stanford would not have wanted him back? He led them to a level of success, which was a pipe dream before he arrived


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Was going to point that out too [Body]

Output: Saying Miller didn't win a title is little disengeous when he quarterbacked a team that went undefeated and would have played for the national title (and been favored), without the sanctions.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Title] The difference in the national title game wasn't QB play [Body]

Output: Mariotta statistically had a good day, the difference was Ohio State's offensive and defensive lines controlling the run game. Maybe from a injury standpoint there might be an advantage to having a bigger QB, but I don't think it is a requirement to match up against physical defenses. Having a physical RB and o-line is what matters for combating a physical defense.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I don't care what system he was playing in [Body]

Output: 59 total tds to only 6 turnovers is ridiculous. That is the best ratio in the history of college football. Regardless of how QB friendly Oregon's offense is, it's not like just any QB could put up those numbers. Arm strength isn't everything, if it was the Tim Couch's and Ryan Leaf's of the world would not have been NFL busts. Intelliegence and decision making can make up for not having the best arm strength. I am not sure how he will turn out, but he has the intelligence to learn a more NFL oriented scheme.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Exactly, this team didn't really need more free-swinging power [Body]

Output: They needed am everyday guy who could hit 1 or 2 ( Aoki for example, who played with KC last year) and help in the bullpen. They still have time to get bullpen help, though.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Are you assuming they resign Scherzer? [Body]

Output: Because if they don't that outcome would be a moot point since there is no way that Greene can offset the loss of Scherzer. Once again, we are back to the same conclusion, that this team at best is not any better than last year's team that wasn't good enough.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Krol was never a valuable piece of that trade in the first place [Body]

Output: Scouts had him pegged as fringe major league type of guy, who most likely would only stick in long relief. Not a surprise that is what he turned out to be. They absolutely did not get enough Fister.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Gose and Davis are not ideal 1 or 2 type of hitters [Body]

Output: Speed isn't the only component. Neither guy get's on base at a high enough clip to be a great option. Gose doesn't hit for a high enough average and Davis rarely walks. Not to mention Kinsler being a huge question mark, considering how awful he was offensively in the second half.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Not a fan of this offseason so far [Body]

Output: There is no way that losing Scherzer (assuming he isn't resigned) and Porcello from the rotation will lead to this being a better team next year, even with the addition of Cespedes, Simon, and a hopefully healthy Iglasias Not a fan of Cespedes at all, free swinger to the bone on team that already didn't take enough walks last year. He had an OBP lower than Hunter's last year. Complete one trick pony at the plate, all or nothing. His defense is really the area that will provide a significant upgrade over Hunter's production from the last two years. They still haven't done squat to bolster the bullpen, assuming Simon and Greene are in the rotation. As others have said you give up valuable trade pieces in the Simon trade for a journeymen, who fell apart in the second half of the year last year.They still don't have a legitimate number 1 or 2 type of hitter either, Kinsler was awful in the second half of the year last year, and neither Davis or Gose are 1 or 2 type of hitters. Barring any significant move (resigning Scherzer or James Shields) I don't see how anybody could argue that this team has gotten any better and they weren't good enough last year. The window may be shut at this point.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Title] They lost seven games [Body]

Output: Do you really believe all of those teams were faster, stronger or more talented?


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Harbaugh could resign if he doesn't like the trade options [Body]

Output: SF doesn't have to fire him in order for him to consider UM.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Bill Snyder of KSU is 75 [Body]

Output: I really don't see issue some people seem to have with Les Miles and his age. If Les is still passionate about coaching I don't think his age should be that big of a deal. I would prefer Harbaugh like anybody else, but Les is a good back up option with a track record of success if UM doesn't land Jim. Edit: This commented was directed at Brody's posts earlier in the thread about not wanting Miles due to his age.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Do not understand the comments in this thread [Body]

Output: The reality is the Tigers may need to overpay for Victor if they have to, because otherwise if they lose him and Scherzer they are simply not going to be a contender next year. The window will shut on the Tigers if they lose both of those guys,and don't replace them.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Somewhat dead [Body]

Output: Nowhere near the rocking house that it was in the ND UTL game. Understandable, given the circumstances.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Still standing with the players [Body]

Output: The coaches not so much. That is the important distinction.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Disagree [Body]

Output: When you have QB who can't move and protect himself from big hits, I don't see how that isn't dangerous. Same thing with Morris and his ankle, even before the concussion.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Finally switched [Body]

Output: About fucking time, idiots.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Still on both stations [Body]

Output: Go fuck yourself, ESPN.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] To be fair, FSU did lead for [Body]

Output: To be fair, FSU did lead for Blanding for awhile before FSU lost almost their entire defensive staff. Not sure any FSU insider thought Blanding was an option after Stoops left. I'm just glad he isn't a Buckeye. I would like for Michigan to get more of a presence in the 757.


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Title] I don't think we're close... [Body]

Output: We still very much lack natural pass rushers on this team. Ojemudia is still at least another full year and half away from contributing effectively. Taco is the one I'm looking forward to seeing.


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Not sure. I do think [Body]

Output: Not sure. I do think Michigan is starting to get personnel to give them the opportunity to be more 3-4. I don't think it'll happen formally. Mattison, I believe, wants to become more multiple. I could very well see more of a 3-4. I see a heck of a lot more 5-techs on this roster than 9-techs.


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Well [Body]

Output: No one is saying that he's a super recruit. I don't think he's ever going to be a top 5 DT. But, some staffs DO get on prospects earlier than others do. That fact doesn't cease to be the case just because "under-the-rader" recruites are becoming rarer.


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Funny... [Body]

Output: It's funny how different people can see different things on film. My thoughts are almost precisely the opposite. I think he uses his hands very well but doesn't seem to have great speed or quick-twitch ability. He looks more like a plugger to me than a penetrator.


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Title] The "Michigan got in early on [Body]

Output: The "Michigan got in early on a prospect who was on the verge of blowng up" is essentially accurate. Mone has slowly been adding better offers as time goes on, and Michigan got in on the ground floor. You're not seeing SEC power exactly knocking down his door....at least not yet. You seem to take it as an insult to get on a kid early. I think precisely the opposite is the case. A good recruiting staff can evaluate talent. Your chances at landing a prospect dramatically improve if one can identify talent and develop relationships early. You really do not want to use other programs staffs as your evaluators. That typically doesn't work out in the longrun (unless you are Alabama and they are famous for doing it). I personally don't see much of the Mike Martin comparison as I think Mike was more athletic than Mone but Mone is a LOT bigger. If they stood next to each other, you'd wonder how they could be playing the same position.


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Good pickup [Body]

Output: I agree that it looks like we got in pretty early on a guy that is going to start garnering some bigger offers. I like his size and his use of hands is surprisingly good. I don't see great athleticism on film and he doesn't look like a penetrating type DT at the next tackle. I see him as more of a 2-gap player that would fit in well on a 3-4 team. At Michigan, I think he's a 1-tech all the way. Looks strong as an ox, and a guy that is going to maintain leverage.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] We have a great shot at [Body]

Output: We have a great shot at McDowell. We have very, very little shot at Hand. As of right now, Hand is a VTech/Bama battle with VTech as his leader. Everyone else is WAY back. Things can change, but people are getting their hopes up on him probably isn't wise.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Blanding [Body]

Output: Blanding's a great player that the Michigan coaching staff likes a lot. I think they will push for him. Right now, he's a pretty heavy Virginia/FSU lean, but things can always change. He wants to commit very early...as in this spring, so Michigan better act fast if they want to get in the game. I'm less plugged into the Brown recruitment.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Wow... [Body]

Output: Do you guys honestly think this is any different than what the commitments of any other school are doing? All these kids are doing the same thing at every school. Some of you act as if you started following recruiting yesterday.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Well [Body]

Output: While it may be an "opinion" that Hand is not going to end up at Michigan, it is a VERY sensible one. I would be utterly shocked if he ended up anywhere other than Virginia Tech or Alabama right now. Does Michigan have a shot? Sure. But, we are WAY, WAY behind right now in his recruitment and that is not merely an opinion.


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Very skeptical [Body]

Output: Which coaches SPECIFICALLY visited Da'Mario from Alabama, FSU, and Georgia? I'm 99 percent sure that at least 2 of those schools did not have any coaches in the state over the last 2 weeks.


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] I've been talking about the [Body]

Output: I've been talking about the FSU momentum in regards to McQuay for sometime. It's going to be close.


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Not surprised by this at all. [Body]

Output: Not surprised by this at all. The hire at Pruitt at FSU is what is causing the delay.


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Not a fan of those uniforms [Body]

Output: Not a fan of those uniforms at all, but I've always despised our move from maize to electric yellow. I'm surprised more traditionalists don't complain about the very fundamental problem of Michigan no longer wearing its true colors anymore...new uniform design or not.


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Title] As mentioned before, I feel [Body]

Output: As mentioned before, I feel he ends up at FSU. We will see what happens.


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] No, I don't know everything. [Body]

Output: No, I don't know everything. Just letting you know my opinion.


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] OK, I didn't mean to say that [Body]

Output: OK, I didn't mean to say that McQuay isn't interested in Michigan. He is. I would put Michigan as the 4th most likely school for him to land at right now.


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

Output: I don't believe Michigan is/was ever a very serious player for McQuay. I think that until somewhat recently it was a Vanderbilt/USC battle. However, I would not at all be suprised now if he ended up at FSU. 1.) It is in-state and there are many people around LM3 that would like to see him stay closer to home. 2.) While it hasn't been very widely reported, he was extremely impressed with his official visit to FSU. 3.) While FSU losing DC/DB Coach Mark Stoops to the Head Coaching job at Kentucky set FSU back in their recruitment of McQuay, the persistent rumor is that FSU will be hiring Alabama DB Coach Jeremy Pruitt. Saban considers Pruitt a future star in the industry and he's one of the top 5 assistant coach recruiters in the United States. 4.) There has not been a lot of contact between McQuay and the Michigan coaching staff recently.


Input: [Date] 3 years 5 days ago [Title] I like this commitment a [Body]

Output: I like this commitment a lot. We have been on the outside looking in for both Fuller and McQuay for quite some time. Waiting any longer would have most likely resulted in us getting a much lesser player at CB than Douglas. And Douglas is a pretty darn good player in his own right.


Input: [Date] 3 years 5 days ago [Title] Careful about homerism... [Body]

Output: A couple of things: The Elite 11 is not chosen by Trent Dilfer alone. It is a collaborative effort of all the QB coaches at the event. It is inaccurate and unfair to blame Dilfer alone if you disagree with Shane being left out of the Elite 11. The Elite 11 is a "process-oriented" camp, and from what I've read, Shane is a "results-oriented" QB prospect at this point (not a good thing). Good process + Good result = Expected. Good process + Bad result = Bad Luck. Bad process + Bad result = Expected. Bad process + Good result = Luck. From what I've heard and read, Shane made a ton of good throws at the camp but repeatedly went to the wrong place with the ball. It may have looked good to some scouts but not the coaches. Making a throw to the wrong place is generally NOT what you want a QB to do even if his physical skills will sometimes allow him to get away with it. When you have success by making the wrong decisions and reads, you are typically getting lucky. I think that's what happened here at least from the coaches' point of view. This is what I've read anyway. I'm sure it will not change opinions.


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Hoke's policy is not typical.. [Body]

Output: Most major programs do not have the "no visit" policy. There are advantages and disadvantages to it.


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Title] As others have mentioned... [Body]

Output: This type of event does not a suit a player like McCray. He's not going to wow anyone with he speed and athleticism running around in a 7on tournament. I really don't think his performance out in Oregon should affect his rating. You want to see this kid in pads taking on and shedding blocks. What COULD affect his ranking, though, is the fact that he's only 6'1". He is a lot smaller than most of us believed he was. I'm not familiar enough with McCray on film to tell you whether his lack of size will have much of a negative effect on his college career, but I do know scouts are pretty sensitive to kids who end up being a lot smaller than their HS coaches report.


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Take a look at 247's [Body]

Output: Take a look at 247's evaluation. They say he is more athletic than people give him credit for which presumes that people don't think he's all that athletic. Not sure where you get the idea that virtually everyone says he has high athletcism when 247's scouts believe they are going against the grain by calling him athletic. I think he's going to be a really good player. I just wanted to mention what I think is the chink in his armor. I only mention it because I often see a ton of completely biased homerism when evaluating recruits. If you see good quick twitch athleticism on film, I suppose we are looking at different players. I'd say it's his biggest weakness (he doesn't have many). "He reads the play and is more athletic than people give him credit for, and is one of those guys that if you go to a camp or see him at a 7-on-7, maybe he is not as high on your list, but you put him in pads and you can really see this guy having a great college career and playing a lot in the National Football League."


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Maybe.. [Body]

Output: He probably runs the 40 yard dash a full second and half faster that Erik Anderson.


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Not to piss on parade... [Body]

Output: Farrell's review of Charlton matches what other guys who were at the event told me. Take it for whatever it's worth. It shouldn't be surprising, though. It had already been well known and well demonstrated that Taco is not very good right now from a technical standpoint. However, he's got a nice frame and good athleticism (not a "freak" as some above have stated. That term is overused). Let's just say athleticism is one of his strengths, and he's one of the most athletic DE's in Ohio this year. His review of Shane is a bit perplexing to me. I would agree that he had the best arm strength at the camp, but I'm not generally a huge fan of Shane's mechanics. His relatively low release point and pushing motion can sometimes lead to inconsistency. It leads to great days (Columbus) and very average days (Dallas). With that type of release, you are not sure what you are going to get on a given day. That said, he was probably the most physically gifted QB there along with Max Browne. I thought Hackenberg looked the smoothest and threw the best deep ball, but he made a ton of poor decisions. Speaking of mechanics, Browne has precisely the opposite problem that Shane has -- very high release point and an exaggerated over the top motion (very slow). It's a similar problem to what current Florida State QB EJ Manuel had when he came out of HS. Both Shane's and Max's problems with mechanics are fixable with good coaching and a lot of hard work.


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Chink in his armor [Body]

Output: If there is a chink in Bolden's armor, it's definitely his athleticism. He's not really a quick twitch athlete and is a bit stiff in the hips. Not sure how Helmholdt or others could miss that on film. That said, he's not a bad athlete, just not a great one. I think he could be really good.


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 4 days ago [Title] 2010-11 were the best [Body]

Output: The 2010-2011 were the best of that bunch, but I do like the new practice jerseys. I have never been a fan of the block M in the home whites (same in basketball) when it differs from the rest of the font. That is being pretty picky though. I am also becoming less of a fan of simply having the block M on the jersey by itslef.


Input: [Date] 51 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] collar [Body]

Output: The fact that it appears there is writing on the inside of the collar (wins or fight song) causes some concern that this will be the UTL III jersey.


Input: [Date] 51 weeks 1 day ago [Title] kids [Body]

Output: There are lots of places to park, and cheaper ones if you don't mind walking about a mile. I usually park downtown and it is relatively easy to get out after the games. The golf courses are good with kids b/c they can run around and play football and bags and other games. I try to get there with my kids about an hour and a half to two hours before kickoff. Gives us time to walk around a bit either to a tailgate or around campus. Here is a link on the atletic department page for Michigan Stadium, it includes a list of prhibited items. The band plays in front of Reveli hall before the game and matches over to the stadium. There is a drum line show about an hour to an hour and a half before kickoff. Cheaper tix - look on stubhub, for endzones (can't remember the sections numbers) in the higher rows 50+.


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] But it is so easy to [Body]

Output: But it is so easy to say....


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Title] exactly [Body]

Output: My thoughts exactly. What am I paying for. Time to look at the stub hub vs. season tix analysis again.


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Title] CJ Leslie = Class Act!!!! [Body]

Output: CJ Leslie = Class Act!!!!


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Awesome. [Body]

Output: Thanks for the update. Got this just in time for a hcokey jamboree trip to Ohio. Now I just need to decide whether or not I wear the Worst State Ever t-shirt.


Input: [Date] 2 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Nothing official [Body]

Output: There is nothing official that I know of, but he said he wants to address the team and then the media through the athletic department. Given that, his performance vs Clowney and given his mom his helmet after the game there is a lot of smoke around him leaving for the draft. And you know where there is smoke there is fire. I would love for him to stay but just don't see it happening.


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] uniformz [Body]

Output: The following is from a daily article on the Adidas contract: "Beyond financial matters, Winters said the agreement with Adidas grants the department more individual attention and control over the deal's operations. Athletic Director Bill Martin said the look of teams' attire - especially Michigan football uniforms - will change little or not at all. He said Adidas will allow the University input in designing sideline outfits for the team's coach and staff - a change from the same outfits Nike supplies every collegiate team it sponsors. *** Stipulated in the agreement, Winters said, is the University's right to renew a contract with Adidas maintaining the same conditions, annual adjustment for cost-of-living estimates and a "favored-nation" clause, which allows the University to demand any terms that Adidas offers another university." I don't think we will be changing the agreement when it expires (8 year deal signed in July 2007 I think). I would agree with Brian the UA has done some great things, but unless people stop buying these new abominations, the atleteic department will still only see $$ with every new "special" jersey


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Thought it was supposed to go outside. [Body]

Output: Magnus you probably would know, but it seemed that the blocking was set up to take the play outside from the begining with Gallon and Omameh heading that way and Denard cut it back into the wash. If he breaks it outside and Omameh blocks Bullough, Denard is set up for a long run given that he had Rountree and Gallon leading the way.


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Title] 31 [Body]

Output: I am in row 31 at the 25-yard line and I think that is a great row. Anything in the 40s would be a great seat


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] no expert [Body]

Output: I am not a rules expert, I thought it did since it references a legal downfield reciever.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] its early [Body]

Output: Its early. He will get better. I thought he had unpolished routes. For example on the PI call that was picked up, he drifted in running down the field and ended up out of position when the ball arrived making it uncatchable or seem to be uncatchable.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Same here, but he was giving [Body]

Output: Same here, but he was giving up 20 pounds on the DB.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] shove was late IMHO [Body]

Output: Without worrying about whether the ball was in the air, I think we need to look at the one of the key part of the rule above, which I see as: "Defensive players may ward off or legally block an eligible pass receiver until that player occupies the same yard line as the defender or until the opponent could not possibly block him. Continuous contact is illegal" From the video it seems that the actual push of Roundtree happened when he was occpying the same yard line as the defender or when he was trying to get around him on the outside which to seems to be when he could no longer block Milliner. The contact before the push seems perfectly legal. The shove out of bounds doesn't. Thats just my opinion. Either way it seems like a tough call for an offical to make at game speed, but he did see enoguh to drop his hat indicating that Roundtree was out of bounds.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Lets hope that its not a really bumpy road in 2012 [Body]

Output: I agree that it was just a big ugly bump in the road. I am worried with the schedule that there may be a few more bumps down the road, but I still think we have a good team. We got beat last night and that happens. How do people think Nebraska fans felt after their game agaisnt Michigan last year. The players won't give up, Hoke won't let them. Lets hope Countess, Lewan and Moore are fine and move on to Air Force.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Defense [Body]

Output: The Defense will need to stay fundamentally sound and play their gaps. I am not worried about the offense, they will be fine.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Outside [Body]

Output: Gallon is better on the outside, Rountree is better on the inside. I would like to see Dilieo get some more snaps too.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] trying [Body]

Output: They weren't not trying to win. They just weren't willing to risk their biggest asset bysmashing him into the Alabama D time after time in the first game of the season.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] To keep him healthy for the big ten season. [Body]

Output: Why put lipstick on a pig. No one, thought Michigan had a chance going into the game. Winning or losing it doesn't effect the team's stated goal of winning the Big Ten. Therefore they seemed to come up with a game plan keep him healthy for the big ten season. Unfortunately that game plan went to shit after 1st Q and we were forced to try and pass our way back. Denard's chuck and pray didn't work like it has against less talented defenses. Outplayed and out coached. It happens. I has a sad panda.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Fat Tire [Body]

Output: Fat Tire. Lol


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Far Tire!!! [Body]

Output: Far Tire!!!


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] same here [Body]

Output: I do not like the gray facemask or the numbers. For a throwback style 1-off game they are fiine, but not for the season. I think the helmet is way too busy with all the extras and we don't need to add anything to the best helmet in football.


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Title] Deciding Factor [Body]

Output: Both Zeller and Burke were awarded Freshmen of the Week 7 times, but only Burke also won the Player of the Week award. Leading his team to a share of the Championship, as a 1, is absolutely huge for a Freshman and should at the very least give him a share of the FOY award


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Title] Get Well [Body]

Output: Congrats on you and your family's new Michigan fan!!! Keep well and keep fighting. Go Blue!!!


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Title] beat me... [Body]

Output: Beat me....but great news Go Blue!!!

Output: I didn't think it was a spear, but it was kinda blocked in replay

Output: touche


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Title] wow [Body]

Output: I think he should get two for the move and an extra for the tebow celebration!

Output: If LSU continues to flounder there will be no chaos.


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] Leon's dad posted this tweet [Body]

Output: Leon's dad posted this tweet earlier today: "to all schools left recruiting L3 if you feel there is someone better or you will settle for a comit do what's best 4 ur team games r 4 kids " Not sure who it is directed towards. Could be us, could be USC, as "rumor" has it they sent a bunch of coaches out to visit Max Redfield while LM3 was on his OV.


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Title] TVH says the coaches are [Body]

Output: TVH says the coaches are looking for one more LB in addition to Ben & Mike. That being said, my guess is going to be Levenberry.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] How many more scolly's does [Body]

Output: How many more scolly's does Ohio have to give out this class? I like how they currently only have two OL commits


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] If you love something, let it [Body]

Output: If you love something, let it go. If it was meant to be it will come back to you. . .


Input: [Date] 2 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Don [Body]

Output: In regards to Treadwell, what do you think happens? He's narrowed down to five. He's visited Ole' Miss already & by all accounts hasn't said anything to the effect that they are his leader. MSU has never been talked about as a threat. He has yet to visit OU & OkSU. Where do you think he ends up? Could it be that he doesn't want to pull a Conley/Dawson and wants to take his time with his decision? I'd rather he do that then half-heartedly commit and subsquently break his commitment. I think that we are his leaders and will continue to think that until I see something that truely shows otherwise.


Input: [Date] 2 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Can you refresh me, ar these [Body]

Output: Can you refresh me, ar these new alligations and issues related to Miami, or the same ones that have been talked about for a while now?


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] VSB, just observations made [Body]

Output: VSB, just observations made by Lorenz and some others. Point being, if Dawson hadn't committed so early before he knew what was out there, we'd def be in the hunt for his services right now. As it is, the team and Dawson have "mutually" parted ways. What LaQuan and Green are doing is better for all parties involved.


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] I'd rather have Green and [Body]

Output: I'd rather have Green and Treadwell take their time and be sure about their decision than have a situation like Dawson or potentially Conley. I feel really bad for David as it looks like our staff initiated the split and now, if he decides he doesn't like UF or any other SEC teams the door is no longer open for him.


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Title] In it,ESPN pushes the SEC on [Body]

Output: In it,ESPN pushes the SEC on him, disgusting


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Title] I didn't know he had a third team he was considering, [Body]

Output: Who is the third team?

Output: over to 11warriors to see how they spin it. . .

Output: I'm from Greensboro as well, hence the mis-spelt username

Output: I don't think this needs any shooping at all. . . it's a masterpiece of OHIO Femaninity!

Output: Stupid Napolean Dynamite look-a-like


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Title] You see where [Body]

Output: LTT told 247 he's recruiting a WR, RGB, & LB to go to Michigan, and he's confident they'll all commit?


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Not an alum either, but I am [Body]

Output: Not an alum either, but I am gonna fill out the application. Is this ok?


Input: [Date] 1 hour 7 min ago [Title] Sam Webb has been out of the [Body]

Output: Sam Webb has been out of the loop for the last six months and is quickly losing value as an insider. Everyone else seems to be in agreement that Nuata is more or less done to Georgia and Upshur just canceled his announcement so he can go visit FSU again. This is all bad for Michigan.


Input: [Date] 1 hour 12 min ago [Title] Hope he is good. In video [Body]

Output: Hope he is good. In video posted his handles don't look great and quality of competition seems lacking but if Beilien likes him then hopefully that is good enough.


Input: [Date] 17 hours 50 min ago [Title] The list of successful [Body]

Output: The list of successful players who are also successful coaches is pretty short. Being a good player doesn't mean being a good coach.


Input: [Date] 23 hours 18 min ago [Title] luckily for michigan the big [Body]

Output: luckily for michigan the big ten is a pretty easy conference. So starting 2-2 doesn't kill the season.


Input: [Date] 4 days 1 hour ago [Title] Said on missing out on Hill. [Body]

Output: Said on missing out on Hill.


Input: [Date] 4 days 23 hours ago [Title] One of the greats and [Body]

Output: One of the greats and greatest of all time is two completely different statements. Brady is one of the greats but isn't the greatest of all time. Both are true statements. But of the QB's listed Brady might have had the most help of any of those guys for most of his career. Elite defenses for the first half of his career, one of the best coaches of all time, his best year included maybe the most physically gifted wr of all time, etc.


Input: [Date] 5 days 1 hour ago [Title] Last time I checked Brady [Body]

Output: Last time I checked Brady didn't win any super bowls playing for Michigan and the Patriots don't play in Detroit. I get liking Brady but he didn't cement his legacy as a great qb while at michigan.


Input: [Date] 5 days 1 hour ago [Title] Always a great way to land a [Body]

Output: Always a great way to land a recruit when it is because osu doesn't care because they think they can get better players but whatever he seems good so I'll be happy if he ends up here. Peoples-Jones is about as close to a must get as any recruit could ever be. In-state 5 star who is probably a top 10 player in the country with two parents who went to Michigan at a position of extreme need where early playing time isn't a bad sign. If he goes anywhere else it is a problem.


Input: [Date] 5 days 2 hours ago [Title] Montana was better, Marino [Body]

Output: Montana was better, Marino was better, Manning was better.He may be tied for the most accomplished quarterback but he isn't the best. If you had the oporutnity to draft every qb at their prime brady wouldn't be the first one taken. It is that simple.


Input: [Date] 5 days 2 hours ago [Title] lol at Brady being the [Body]

Output: lol at Brady being the greatest of all time.


Input: [Date] 5 days 4 hours ago [Title] I'm saying we also do shady [Body]

Output: I'm saying we also do shady shit. Clemson has had a clearly better last decade of football.


Input: [Date] 5 days 7 hours ago [Title] Hey guys, hate to burst your [Body]

Output: Hey guys, hate to burst your bubble but so does Michigan.


Input: [Date] 5 days 23 hours ago [Title] Biefeldt is gone because if [Body]

Output: Biefeldt is gone because if he is getting more than 5 minutes a game we are not beating good teams. It is that simple. The bar is set higher than what he can provide.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 hours ago [Title] Shocking that the pre-season [Body]

Output: Shocking that the pre-season national championship favorite would be the most talented team in an otherwise shitty conference. OSU might take like 5 players from the rest of the conference combined as starters. They probably have the most talented player at every position on the field in the big ten. Doesn't mean we can't beat them, but they are the better team on paper and most likely in reality also.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] Man people are getting so [Body]

Output: Man people are getting so salty about this. They had hundreds of things on sale over the course of the day including some desirable stuff over 50% off. Sure things sold out but that is because they had a lot of people interested. They sold more stuff than black friday so clearly enough people found things they liked. It also caused walmart and bestbuy to also put things on sale, between those 3 places you could get most items on sale for most of the day. How is that bad? Amazon never has and never will do a 20% off everything sale and anyone expecting that was bound to be disspaointed. Prime is an amazing deal between the free movies and free 2 day shipping plus random deals throughout the year. Not sure why people are so upset at Amazon for including things like diapers in their sale rather than just putting up fun toys. If you were stocking a kitchen or had a baby yesterday was great. Not every sale is about getting a new tv.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] That tweet is a stupid [Body]

Output: That tweet is a stupid response. No way is saying UA is a threat to Nike next year. UA barely existed when current high school seniors were born so Nike still being liked better isn't shocking. But UA's growth has been pretty big and they are just entering the shoe market now and have Steph Curry to market it. They also have Spieth signed to a 10 year contract in golf as well and a bunch of baseball players including Bryce Harper. They've done a really good job of getting in on big young stars for marketing purposes and that will pay dividends. Plus with Notre Dame, Auburn, South Carolina, Maryland, Northwestern, etc they have a pretty good toe hold in college athletics for being a still young company.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] While we are at it other [Body]

Output: While we are at it other annoying things from uva. Wearing ties to football games and pretending to ignore that the University of Maryland has the largest mall in the country, not UVA.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] Stop saying grounds. Its a [Body]

Output: Stop saying grounds. Its a fucking campus. Also when I was there for a model un conference in high school we went to the white spot and it was pretty good. Plus as the only predominatley black school at the conference we found it funny in a "uva frats have been known to make their pledges but on black face and pick cotton and they have a restaurant called the white spot" sort of way."


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 23 hours ago [Title] If you can get it do FIOS [Body]

Output: If you can get it do FIOS build your own package and do the sports packages, that is what I do. If not anything but comcast is the way to go.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 23 hours ago [Title] Thats not really true for [Body]

Output: Thats not really true for graduate schools. In state tuition (as in just straight tuition) at michigan $26,367 for in state $27,867 for out of state. You save a whopping $1,500 a year. Harvard on the other hand is $57,200 so going to public school over private might make financial sense. As far as I can tell Georgia in state is a litte over $19,000 for in state. My guess is people aren't making the decision to stay in state in Georgia vs going to Michigan because of $7,000 a year but maybe I am wrong.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] According to US news which is [Body]

Output: According to US news which is whatever but an easy baseline OSU is the 18th best public school in the country and Georgia is the 20th, not a huge jump there in terms of the actual academics he will receive while there. Florida and Texas A&M are also in the top 25 of pulbic schools (which is all that really matters here, if it was strict academic rankings, Stanford, Duke, Northwestern etc would be top 10). Plentyt of schools in the sec are in the same academic grouping as big ten schools.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] This matters when we actually [Body]

Output: This matters when we actually get a recruit they want from there. This thread is going to look bad when Gary is at Auburn and Peoples-Jones is at Bama.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] When I found out UGA had the [Body]

Output: When I found out UGA had the #4 graduate program for public administration it was surprising to say the least. Girlfriends family is all from Georgia so it will probably be on the list when I'm applying to public policy/public administration schools.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] And Harbaugh. Michigan fans [Body]

Output: And Harbaugh. Michigan fans don't get to talk about dui's.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Maryland basketball has one [Body]

Output: Maryland basketball has one of the largest arenas in the country, has the largest student section in the country, is in one of the best recruiting parts of the country and has a top 15 program history. Sure they aren't great at football but Maryland adds a lot of value on the basketball side. Maryland sports also won 7 big ten championships this year, the most of any school. Maryland is also located in the 4th largest metro area in the country (Baltimore/DC), is a well respected research institution, has access to the library of congress, etc. The only reason Maryland was a bad addition is if the only thing you care about is football. I just think its funny that people love the Nebraska addition when literally the only positive thing they bring is football.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Title] How is using sling tv an [Body]

Output: How is using sling tv an argument right now? People who argue that unbundling will cost more are projecting that the landscape will change as well. When unbundling does occur netlfix will either cost a lot more, cease to exist, or only have seasons that are old on it because stations will get more propietary and host things exclusively on their websites for their subscribers. Same thing with hulu. Sling tv exists in the current market, nothing about its pricing model is helpful for determining how much ESPN would cost in an unbundled world because ESPN doesn't need to charge sling tv customers $30 to remain viable in the current market.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Title] None of you guys have clearly [Body]

Output: None of you guys have clearly ever visited a caps message board. He gets more flak than he deserves but I don't know a single Caps fan who thinks he is worth the money you guys just paid. Of course knowing Caps history he will probably end up in the hof.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Sucks for the wings that he [Body]

Output: Sucks for the wings that he shows up small time all the time in big games.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Sounds like Harbaugh fucked [Body]

Output: Sounds like Harbaugh fucked up and did something dumb. If you are going to do what he did just don't do the interview. Being petty always makes you look bad.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 8 min ago [Title] Yes it was worth it. Sports [Body]

Output: Yes it was worth it. Sports teams make a city feel nice, they aren't actually drivers of economic growth and now the city has millions of dollars to spend on other things rather than a stadium. Seattle's economy is doing just fine without the sonics, so yes not spending millions to keep them with a project with no roi was the right call.

Input: [Date] 5 hours 28 min ago [Body] Compared to last year, I feel like we're killing it. Instead of hearing about a decommit every weekend, it's nice to hear that we are in it for some very good commits. [Title]

Output: Compared to last year, I feel

Output: Got it, thanks. Then you can


Input: [Date] 5 hours 42 min ago [Body] On a scale of 1-10 (10 being most important), this news that he can't find a ride is like a 1. So carry on with your life and we'll wake you up when the season starts. [Title]

Output: On a scale of 1-10 (10 being


Input: [Date] 5 hours 51 min ago [Body] Since you're OP, you should really edit the OP to say that Pop never planned on coming to the BBQ this weekend anyway so there was no change. Half of the posts and replies on this thread were made to clear that up. [Title]

Output: Since you're OP, you should


Input: [Date] 5 hours 58 min ago [Body] Except that Pop has said 100 times that he doesn't give an F about who he has to compete with. [Title]

Output: Except that Pop has said 100


Input: [Date] 5 hours 59 min ago [Body] Lol this bro Franz Sherbert is negging all of my posts because I don't agree with him that Pop is going to FSU now. Even about K-BBQ. Relax bro. You're being petty. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 hours 5 min ago [Body] He did not blow off Michigan because he was never planning on visiting this weekend. [Title]

Output: He did not blow off Michigan


Input: [Date] 6 hours 6 min ago [Body] Yes, that's right. He was always planning on visiting FSU and ASU. He is just doing his FSU trip earlier. He never planned to come to the BBQ and so there is no change there. He did 2 unofficials to Michigan on his own dime and he is going to come again on an official. [Title]

Output: Yes, that's right. He was


Input: [Date] 6 hours 7 min ago [Body] Stop making stuff up. He did not abandon his plans to attend the BBQ. He never said he was going to attend the BBQ. He visited twice already on his own dime. [Title]

Output: Stop making stuff up. He did


Input: [Date] 6 hours 9 min ago [Body] Oh, we lost 10% of our Crystal Balls. Give me a break. There are months left to this recruitment and Harbaugh isn't going to throw his hands in the air and surrender like you. [Title]

Output: Oh, we lost 10% of our


Input: [Date] 6 hours 11 min ago [Body] We had a 10% loss of Crystal Balls. Go cry me a river. [Title]

Output: We had a 10% loss of Crystal


Input: [Date] 6 hours 12 min ago [Body] No, there has not. You are obviously a 2% milk guy. Jay and Jim Harbaugh have this. He going to get Nauta and Pop now. [Title]

Output: No, there has not. You are


Input: [Date] 6 hours 15 min ago [Body] It's Jersey. There are ten million Korean BBQ places better than that one. [Title]

Output: It's Jersey. There are ten


Input: [Date] 6 hours 16 min ago [Body] Dude, let me tell you about Jersey. Paramus is in Bergen county at the most tip top northern end. Egg Harbor/Atlantic City is in the very bottom right. They are like 3 hours apart and you would use different interstates to go west anyway so it makes no sense for them to ride together. It's like saying some dude from Detroit is going to carpool with someone from the UP. [Title]

Output: Dude, let me tell you about


Input: [Date] 6 hours 18 min ago [Body] Lot of borderline bandwagoners who hop on and off based on hype. I thought the last few years would thin the crowd, but I guess not. [Title]

Output: Lot of borderline


Input: [Date] 6 hours 20 min ago [Body] OK, he can't get a ride, so now that means Michigan is down in the dumps. Fire everyone. /s Get a grip. Michigan is killing it dude. We finished 5-7 last year and we are recruiting like we went 10-2. Harbaugh gonna use Peppers 3 ways in 4 dimensions and kicking ass in 5 languages. If you're for us, you're for us. Haters can get out of the way. [Title]

Output: OK, he can't get a ride, so


Input: [Date] 6 hours 23 min ago [Body] WHy would you think he doesn't want to be at Michigan? He did not cancel a Michigan trip, he only scheduled a FSU visit that he was planning to do anyway. He's not even committed, so he can go on visits if he wants to. So you are saying that you only want to get recruits who have never visited another school. Come on. [Title]

Output: WHy would you think he


Input: [Date] 6 hours 24 min ago [Body] His announcement date was cancelled weeks ago. He does not control the CB's. THose change based on the recruiting analysts who have probably not even talked to Pop about this. You obviously haven't been following his recruitment at all. FSU and ASU have always been in the mix and FSU was the top competitor with Michigan the whole way. He is great friends with Nauta and that was one of the strong points of FSU that he could play with Nauta. You are not pointing out any real points as you are claiming, but rather, you are stating falsities and trying to pass them off as truth, when you haven't even paid attention to his recruitment. [Title]

Output: His announcement date was


Input: [Date] 6 hours 28 min ago [Body] First of all, he has always said Michigan and FSU were his top two. So you haven't been paying attention at all. He actually said that playing with Nauta was a positive about FSU. [Title]

Output: First of all, he has always


Input: [Date] 6 hours 31 min ago [Body] His coach will really be Jim Harbaugh and Fisch. Jay Harbaugh is the point man, but I'm sure Jim will be active in the coaching. [Title]

Output: His coach will really be Jim


Input: [Date] 6 hours 32 min ago [Body] If you can't emotionally handle recruiting, then get a different hobby. Try baking or fly fishing. Jeez. We're talking about kids picking where they go to college. Relax. It's not the end of the world. [Title]

Output: If you can't emotionally
