Input: [Date] 8 weeks 20 hours ago [Body] As an OSU fan, how much does it pain you to put Blue in your username? What do you mean worked for Mack? The kid was essentially committed to OSU already, considering he forwarded it to Smith. And I thought it was common knowledge that Hernandez was a person of interest in a shooting from 2007 in Florida. [Title]

Output: As an OSU fan, how much does


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 20 hours ago [Body] You mean promotional material highlighed the good parts and left out the bad? What a shady practice. Do all OSU flyers mention that Meyer recruited Aaron Hernandez and that he likely murdered people while at Florida under Meyer? [Title]

Output: You mean promotional material


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] They aren't new, OSU has been doing them for a while and other schools too. Michigan has definitely stepped up it's game under Harbaugh in the recruiting mailer department. But a grown man acting like a teenager when he sees what another school sent a recuit? That's pure Ohio. [Title]

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 23 hours ago [Body] I have wondered the same thing given the recruiting chops of coaches like Mattison and Durkins and I don't really have an answer. I don't think Zordich or Drevno were ever great recruiters and Wheatley was in the NFL. But people want to compare the recruiting of Harbuagh to Meyer's first years at OSU and Franklin's first years at PSU and they really aren't alike. Meyer was only out of CFB for 10 months and was still around the college game working for ESPN. Plus he benefitted hugely from the PSU scandal and got credit for kids who would have gone to OSU any other year but didn't due to Tressel and an incompetent interim staff. And Franklin never left college ball and could sell on the rebuilding of PSU that was only down due to scandal. Michigan has been in a slump for almost a decade and the kids being recruited were in elementary school in 2006. [Title]

Output: I have wondered the same


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Recruiting is heavily about relationships, and that is one of the reasons Harbaugh has struggled with the 2016 class. Many of these kids have known the other staffs for over a year and Michigan is just trying to establish relationships. And as much scouting as there is, there are only so many head coaches and schools you can get to know so it's best to prioritize big schools that produce a lot of talent. One of the nice things about these camps is it allows coaches to build these relationships for 2017 and 2018 and not just at 1 school but at an entire area. Even if they are shut down after this year, Michigan will have made a lot of headway into future classes and then results on the field should kick in. [Title]

Output: Recruiting is heavily about

Output: 247 lists almost every commit


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Not saying the guys who work for Rivals, Scout, and 247Sports are better talent evaluators than college coaches but on average they tend to be right more than they are wrong. Multiple people have compared recruiting rankings to NFL draft rankings and have shown that 5 stars are more likely to succeed than 4 stars who are more likely to succeed than 3 stars and so on. It's not a sure thing and every fan base loves to think they have the under the radar 3 star who will be a 1st round draft pick but not all 3 star recruits can be that player. However, there are a lot of players who fall under the 3 star category. You have the guys with great technique who are limited athleticly and they might be solid college players but not NFL players. There are also the great athletes who have poor technique and need to be coached up. The latter seems to be what this staff is after and they are boom or bust types. If they get the technique and game knowledge they have the potential to at least b all B1G type players, or it might never click. It's easier to teach an athlete football than it is to teach athleticism, so I like the players this staff is after. In a lot of cases I'm sure the staff would prefer the 4& 5 stars who have both the athleticism and the technique, but those are much harder to get and there is a ton more competition which Michigan doesn't measure up to well to the OSUs and Alabamas in the recruiting world right now. [Title]

Output: Not saying the guys who work


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Can't speak for him but I would say they are recruiting a lot of athletes who aren't as pollished as some of the highly rated recruits. Kids who have the abilities but not the technique to play and will need some work to develop. This staff is very confident in it's ability to teach football and turn athletes into football players so we shouldn't be concerned, but they likely won't be as highly rated. [Title]

Output: Can't speak for him but I


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Ross is actually a bit of an exception to our recent LB recruiting. Hoke's staff definitely prioritized size/strength over speed and while it's not terrible, it isn't a great strategy for going up against spread offenses. [Title]

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Thank you, glad someone understands what I'm saying. This idea that we have already beaten MSU and tied OSU is absurd if you look at the state of the team and the last 7 years. I think Harbaugh has it in him, but it's by no means a sure thing. [Title]

Output: Thank you, glad someone


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Can we please stop talking like the tides have turned in the UM/MSU rivalry until the team has actually won something on the field? People were saying the same damn thing when Hoke was hired and we all know how that turned out. I'm not saying Harbaugh is Hoke or anything close, but its the same words. [Title]

Output: Can we please stop talking


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Well, when we kept having disapointing season after disapointing season I never felt any recruit was safe. But if your team keeps winning, and meets or exceeds expectations almost every recruit will stick. Of course you loose some kids to the Alabama and OSUs of the world, but once you reach that level of on field results at a school like Michigan you shouldn't be losing those players anymore. [Title]

Output: Well, when we kept having


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Body] The biggest hurdle is going to be the fact that recruiting is about developing relationships and most of the Michigan coaching staff is coming from the NFL. With recruiting starting earlier and earlier, this Michigan staff came in behind not just for the 2015 class, but also the 2016 class. Hopefully the summer camps across the country will help boost Michigan's standing with a few recruits who we haven't heard too much about yet as well as unearthing some under the radar type players you tend to find in camp settings. [Title]

Output: The biggest hurdle is going


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Have you seen the QBs that Michigan has available to them this year? Outside of Morris who has yet to throw a TD in college and has a completion % under 50, no one has any experience at all besides Rudock, and experience counts for a ton at the QB spot. Even if Rudock can just replicate his stats at Iowa he blows every other QB out of the water. [Title]

Output: Have you seen the QBs that

Output: If Rudock is decent to good


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Stupid rule change that just adds complexity because they want more viewership for the commercials between TDs and the following possession. Should have just made a TD 7 points with the option to risk 1 for a shot at 2. Why does it seem when ever something needs to be changed, sports leagues never seem to make the right changes to fix the issue. [Title]

Output: Stupid rule change that just


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Body] He did say where he got the info, he is a HS track coach in the same state as the player is. He could have put more info in the post about who Enis is but there were definitely a couple of posts last week about him earning an offer and people beign confused because he is another RB and a 3 star with meh offers. Clearly the kid is fast, how that translates to the football field is unknown, but if the staff has the ability to develop athletes into football players then this is a promising sign. [Title]

Output: He did say where he got the

Output: I can't remember his name,


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I would think he could sue the NFL because they wouldn't let him remove himself from the draft to get this sorted out. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to sue your multibillion dolar employer when they are the only company you can work for. Not letting him out of the draft potentially cost him millions in first round guarantees. [Title]

Output: I would think he could sue


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 6 days ago [Body] The way out will be painful and extremely unpopular because the opponents will paint it as being anti-opportunity. The easiest way would be to simply take away the guarantee of repayment and allow student loan debt to be wiped out with bankruptcy. Lenders will become more selective and probably raise rates and fewer people will go to college. [Title]

Output: The way out will be painful


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 6 days ago [Body] It's a combination of the two. The increase in the ease of getting student loans has given colleges the ability to raise tuition to ludicrous levels without anyone fighting back because they don't feel the sting until years later. The only people who it hurts as students are those from families that are very upper middle class who don't qualify for loans and pay everything out of pocke;t and no one feels any simpathy for them as evidenced by the recent Daily article by the kid from San Francisco. So schools increase their administration budgets and salaries and no one has spoken up enough to change it until recently. Will be a long road to trim these budgets as someone making a million a year is not going to voluntarily take a 50% pay cut. [Title]

Output: It's a combination of the


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I actually find them useful as they tend to be more up to date than the favorite, warm, cool listings that the recruiting sites use themselves. They will never be 100% accurate but it gives a decent sense of where a recruit is looking and what teams are in the running. Even the best recruiting reporters aren't 100% right on where they think kids will go. [Title]

Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I don't disagree with your last point, OSU was a team that peaked at the right time, with young players who improved and gelled as the season wore on and it wasn't until the last few games that everythig came together. Before then they were certainly beatable. [Title]

Output: I don't disagree with your


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Body] It wasn't that the coaches couldn't figure out the defense, it was they hadn't prepped for it at all and it messed with the QBs reads. Only so much you can do at half time with a QB in his 2nd game. Later in the season, when the OL was better and the QB more experienced, they would have had more options to adjust to, especially in the running game, and a QB more comfortable with the offense. [Title]

Output: It wasn't that the coaches


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I believe another team tried the same things the next week and had 0 success. VT was successful because they were going against a RS freshman QB who was starting his 2nd game and hadn't practiced for what he saw. [Title]

Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Maybe it's just the fact that he's another 6'10" unheralded white guy, but he reminds me of Doyle when he committed. Hopefully he can redshirt or only be needed for 5-10 minutes a game as a freshman behind Doyle, will be nice to have depth and upper classmen experience at the 5 again. Plus, that 7'2" wingspan is nice. [Title]

Output: You can be such a buzzkill


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Over the last 4 years, Michigan has shown they can win with freshmen and sophomore guards, but as this past season has shown, the same isn't true for centers(McGary is an exception but he's an elite talent). The big guys need more time to develop, grow into their bodies, and learn to play down low against the rest of the B1G. So Beilein has made it a point to not repeat what happened this season where he had too few good options at center. I would think more people would be happy about no true freshmen starting centers. [Title]

Output: Over the last 4 years,

Input: [Date] 16 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Maybe there's a balance somewhere in the middle? Maybe men feel like they are under attack when someone claiming they raped them can destroy their lives even if there is no evidence because colleges use "preponderance of evidence" and don't allow any defence by accused students? Rape is a serious issue that needs to be adressed(on and off campus, though it's far worse in poor and minority communities than on campus), but exagerating it and labeling anyone who calls you on those exagerations a mysoginist or pro-rape is not conductive at all. [Title]

Output: Maybe there's a balance


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 1 day ago [Body] What's sad is while rape on campus is certainly an issue, it's actually higher off of campuses. Women of the same age and socioeconomic bracket who aren't in college are more likely to be raped but no one is speaking up for them. And minority and poor women are at an even greater risk of rape but don't get the attention they deserve. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/388502/rape-epidemic-fiction-kevin... [Title]

People need to realize, Michigan has not gotten more than 50% of the in state kids they want, except for 2012 & 2013 when Hoke looked like a decent coach, in almost a decade. [Title]

Output: Actually only 2 of the last 4


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Body] If you go back to 2008, only twice have we gotten the majority of the top 5 players in Michigan, and only two of the #1 recruits in the state. So over 8 years, Michigan has average1/4th of the best players in the state, and under 50% of the top 5 recruits. To me that isn't almost always getting the best in the state. [Title]

It's hardly a level playing field and no one brings that up when considering why these kids sign with these coaches.

Input: [Date] 18 weeks 20 hours ago [Body] I would say Michigan needs to start landing more recruits in the 100-25 range, players who are good but not 1 and done types. Beilein runs a complicated system that freshmen tend to struggle with at first and isn't condusive to going pro after 1 year. But as we've seen with players like Stauskas and Burke, there's a pretty big payoff to staying 2 years and going through the program when you have the requisite work ethic and ability. I don't see any way that Michigan becomes a Kentucky or Duke, but being a team like MSU except with faster development seems like a nice ceiling, as long as the coaches can keep bringing in enough recruits for the early exits. [Title]

Output: I would say Michigan needs to

Input: [Date] 18 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Looks like Harbaugh is going to take full advantage of this loophole while it exists. With Michigan suddenly setting up half a dozen camps around the country I can't imagine this will be allowed for long. The SEC/PAC12/Big12 are not going to like the idea of the teams from the talent poor states of the midwest coming and encroaching on their turf. Hopefully Michigan can build the relationships this year with the sophomores and freshmen to land a few after this is no longer allowed. [Title]

Input: [Date] 19 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] It should be just worth 7 and you give up 1 point if you want to try for 2. The idea of moving it back to the 25 yard line and then declaring you are going for 2 and moving it back up to the 2.5 is such a clunky rule. Kickig from the 2.5 is essentially automatic and just an unecessary delay of the game. In the current state, after a TD I find something else to do for the next 5 minutes instead of watchig XP-->commercial-->kickoff-->commercial. [Title]

Input: [Date] 21 weeks 5 days ago [Body] That works in pick up games but in bounds plays are not just guys running around trying to get open. They are drawn up to get certain guys open in a good position. Think of it like a football play, the combination of routes may not make sense to the casual observer but in a smart offense they all serve a purpose in the overall design of the play. [Title]

Output: That works in pick up games


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] They are very different players though. If Williams can become a good blocker, he's essentially a 6th OL at his size. Neither Bunting nor Butt have the size to play that roll. If you want 2 recieving TEs on the field then hopefully Bunting passes WIlliams for that spot. [Title]

Input: [Date] 22 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] I would guess it's the ability to make the throws that are there and protect the ball. I get the feeling the offense will be very vanilla this year, lots of running to set up play action and methodical drives down the field. Need a QB who can make short passes to pick up first downs and keep the chains moving, not someone with a cannon who can throw 70 yards but also has a tendency to turf the ball. Malzone fits that mold best of the available QBs this, and is one of only 3 going through spring ball. [Title]

Output: I would guess it's the


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Just because Luck being great had nothing to do with bringing in 2 QBs a year, and Stanford hasn't had success outside of Luck at the QB position since 2008 does not mean the 2 QBs a year wasn't responsible for Stanford's wins. Bringing in a lot of QBs allowed Harbaugh to find one who could be great and given the quality of the QBs since Luck left he certainly would have brought in a lot more than Shaw has. [Title]

Output: Just because Luck being great


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I have never understood the allure of hedgefunds. Their fees always sound absurd to me, things like 2% of managed funds plus 20% of profits. Even if they could outperform the market by 3% you would still lose money. [Title]

Input: [Date] 22 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I'm not advocating frequent trading with your portfolio, but if you invest in a broad range of individual stocks with the intention of holding them for a long time, you should have greater annual returns than an index fund because you aren't charged any fees. Even if it's .5%, that can add up a lot over 20 years. [Title]

Output: I'm not advocating frequent


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 2 days ago [Body] This is probably the best advice here for someone looking to start investing long term for retirement. I was recently looking at the growth of the S&P as well as the DJIA over the last 35 years(when my parents bought their house) and both have gone up about 20 fold, exactly the same as the house. I had gone into the research thinking the house would have had a greater return but it was pretty even. And the stock market is a lot less work than owning a house. [Title]

Output: This is probably the best


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 2 days ago [Body] When you have more money, you can buy multiple individual stocks to diversify as well instead of using mutual funds to do that. Even the lowest fee mutual funds take some cut so you are better off just owning the stocks themselves. You can certainly do just fine going index funds and mutual funds but will likely have a slightly lower return. [Title]

Output: When you have more money, you


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 2 days ago [Body] If you have a small amount of money to invest (under $100k), you want to diversify and mutual funds are probably the easiest way to do that. Individual stocks have too much risk and you don't really have enough money to buy multiple stocks without losing too much to transaction fees. Look for low fee mutual funds as fees can seriously eat into any returns. 1-2% may not seem like a ton but look at the difference in growth over a couple decades at 7% vs 5% and it really adds up. [Title]

Input: [Date] 22 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Well you only listed 8 teams ahead of Michigan, though I would add LSU, and potentially Georgia, Auburn and Oklahoma currently. Could change in a few years but those are teams that are either the top dog in their talent rich state for recruits or have been very successful over the last decade and proximity to good recruiting areas. [Title]

Output: Well you only listed 8 teams


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Maybe development is less important to the top players considering they believe they are NBA ready and just need a place to play for a year? Beilein has yet to have a player go pro after their first year, and hasn't produced an NBA star yet either. Add in the dirtiness of basketball recruiting, the potential NIke/Adidas issue and the long history of success of Kentucky and Duke basketball who we seem to be going up against a lot for recruits and you have a recipe for a lot of recruiting struggles. I like that Beilein and co shoot for the stars recruitingwise, but they might be better served targeting the players in the 40-70 range instead of the top 40. [Title]

Output: Maybe development is less

Input: [Date] 23 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Unfortunately that will likely be too late to have a big impact on 2016. These relationships develop early and Michigan is already behind most schools with established coaching staffs, esspecially with so many coaches from the NFL. I think this class may be a bit of a let down for fans based on expectation but 2017 will be much better. Similar to the 2013 class for Hoke, the second full class for Harbaugh will be great. [Title]

Output: Unfortunately that will


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 4 days ago [Body] There's a huge gap between your definition of middle class and upper class. I know there are a lot of people with no savings in this country, but there are also a bunch who have some savings but aren't able to just stop working. If someone can stop working and have enough savings for a year, that doesn' t mean they are anywhere close to upper class. They clearly still need to work but can last a lot more than a month and keep paying their bills. [Title]

Output: There's a huge gap between


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 4 days ago [Body] The original article lacked tact but it wasn't completely wrong. If you have a $2 million house and make $250,000, you are probably spending $70,000 a year on the mortgage, lose another $70,000 to taxes and then are paying the full cost of tuition for your kids because you get no financial aid. Clearly those are all choices and you can live in a cheaper house (though maybe not near where you can earn a $250,000 salary) and send your kid to a state school but in areas like SF and NYC that's not 'rich' money. Upper middle class sure, but not upper class. [Title]

Output: The original article lacked


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Good to see a lot of the Michigan recruits excited about Michigan again. Was a bit worried seeing all the top players in Michigan crystal balled to MSU, OSU, and other teams. Hopefully Harbaugh can land most of the top 7-8 guys in the state and keep OSU out. Don't have much hope for Hayes(who wants to leave the area) but Hill should be flippable if his brother likes the new staff, and not sure how the Weber situation will affect Onwenu. [Title]

Output: Good to see a lot of the


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Instead of starting a new thread I figure I'll ask this here. Is Michigan having a Junior Day this year? There tended to be a big visit day in February past years but I haven't heard much about that this year. Seems like a lot of recruits from the state of Michigan tonight for the MSU game but no other prospects. [Title]

Output: Instead of starting a new


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 23 hours ago [Body] Solution to the walk on issue with scholarships could just be that players who leave before their eligibility is up can have their scholarship transfered to a walk on who has paid their way for at least 2 years.

Input: [Date] 25 weeks 20 hours ago [Body] The thing about the Weber sittuation isn't that the coach left, but rather that the coach was on the phone with him until midnight before signing day trying to reasure him that he was making the right choice coming to play for him at OSU whie he knew he was leaving for another job the next day.

Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I don't think the Florida DL coach who left announced it until signing day so the Texas coach couldn't take the job until then. Also could have been a stipulation of Texas to let the coach out of any buyouts only after signing day. [Title]

Output: I don't think the Florida DL


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I don't think Florida wanted it out that their DL coach was leaving either. They have a recruit who is reconsidering after their staff shake ups as well. [Title]

Output: It is frowned upon to name


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Body] One thing people don't seem to mention much is the unlevelness of the playing field between recruits/their families and the coaches. These coaches make millions of dollars in part because they are masters of manipulation and salesmanship. They are paid to convince families and 17 year olds, who have never gone through this process before, to sign with their school. Hopefully the HS coaches help their players out, but many of them also have aspirations of moving up to the college ranks and pushing a kid in one direction may help them land a job. [Title]

Output: One thing people don't seem


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Yep, I started a thread asking why any top level recruit would sign a LOI, especially after what has happened over the last 2 days with Florida, UCLA and now OSU. Why give up all your rights for very little in return. Almost no one won't save a spot for a top 100 player and you can enroll anyway without signing the LOI. [Title]

Output: Yep, I started a thread


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Agreed, anything that gives the coaches more control over the kids is going to be exploited. People need to stop looking at this as an agreement between 2 adults on equal footing. Coaches are very experienced at manipulating people and have a huge advantage when they are trying to convince a 17 year old kid. [Title]

Output: Agreed, anything that gives


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Yes, it could be solved with rule changes but that's not going to happen any time soon so why not let the kids take it into their own control. And in terms of binding on both ends, what about when the coach leaves for another job, does his new coach have a right to not let him out of his LOI? [Title]

Output: Yes, it could be solved with


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I agree, but they also shouldn't be forced to sit out a year if they transfer when coaches can bail anytime they want without major penalties. [Title]

Output: I agree, but they also


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Body] At some point you lose leverage in them holding your spot. No top 25 program will hold the spot for a 3 star they can replace by poaching from a MAC team. Top 100 was a guess at a ranking where recruits become a bit more replaceable. Obviously depends on how the coaches view the value of the player because they go by a lot other than the rankings. [Title]

Output: At some point you lose


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Yes, this seems to be the best solution I have read to fix the oversigning issue. Completely turns around the concept of roster management from one where you want to cut dead weight to one where you want to keep as many guys around and make them contributors. I think you could go under 25 per year to something like 23 which would be 92 over 4 years. But teams like Alabama that have maybe 7 3year players per class and a lot who don't redshirt, you would hear Saban complain that this hurts the kids because fewer kids don't have the opportunity to get an esteemed Alabama degree. So it would probably stay at 25 which could actually level the playing field a bit when a lower level team could field 50 players who are 4th or 5th year players against a team like Alabama of mostly 2nd and 3rd year players, though it would also strain budgets of schools that struggle to support their athletic department. [Title]

Input: [Date] 26 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Prior to last week, did the NFL refs actually pull out a pressure gauge and test each ball the teams provided or did they just feel them and judge them to be ok?

Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Body] The 25 yard line change for xp is a poor fix, it needlessly complicates the game. They should just eliminate the xp all together and make TDs worth 7 points. If you want to risk 1 point to go for 2 you can do that, but the xp is a total waste of time and not worth "making more interesting". [Title]

Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I really hope Norfleet makes a lot of people look silly with a competent special teams coach this season. The reason for optimism is probably because he was one of the only playmakers out there this year. Besides Funchess, no one was exciting to watch. Plus he was often at a disadvantage on returns considering he too often only had 9 blockers. [Title]

Output: I really hope Norfleet makes

Input: [Date] 28 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Not that it doesn't happen but the % reported as trafficked or enslaved is likely exagerated by cops and DAs who want money and headlines as well as by the women themselves who claim to be trafficked to get out of any penalty. The ones who are doing it against their will don't get the help they need because time is being wasted on thsoe who actually choose the line of work. [Title]

Output: Not that it doesn't happen


Input: [Date] 2 hours 40 min ago [Body] I'm still blown away that the conference would even allow such a thing to happen in the first place, Dave Brandon or no Dave Brandon. In the last 40 years, no B1G team has had to travel to a rival's stadium two years in a row. That's unheard of in the modern era. Granted, because of the number of teams in conference, there have been instances where there have been two straight (non-rival) meetings at one stadium but it was always evened out. For instance, we played Minnesota at the Metrodome in 2002 and 2003 and we played them at the big house in 2004 and 2005. In the 80's, we did a similar pattern when we played Iowa. Why the crap is there no effort to even out this thing with Sparty? I was never a fan of Dave Brandon and I'm glad he's gone. But did he really have the power to fight that? [Title]

It's also the only time you'll hear the big house crowd cheer for the opponent. During pregame of the Air Force game a couple years ago, it was weird to hear the cheers but at the same time, it made sense. You're not going to boo the Air Force. [Title]

So many times where both teams were ranked in the top 5 and battling for that Rose Bowl or no bowl. OSU marveled in dickish behavior like they do now (trying to rip down the banner, Woody taunting the crowd, Woody punching TV cameras, throwing sideline markers.)

Even with the pieces Utah lost, it's going to be very difficult to win there.

Input: [Date] 1 week 15 hours ago [Body] I kind of agree but the original title of the book was, "The rise and fall of Michigan Football," which many found a little too depressing. Now that we have Hackett and Harbaugh, you can say "return" in regards to them. But I'm sure many others outside the program will find the title to be very Notre Dameish. [Title]

So I mailed the book to my uncle in California. With this one, I'm going to read through the whole thing, because of the epic light at the end of the tunnel. Not just the hiring of Harbaugh but Dave Brandon's exit. Although, I'm still kind of in shock mode that Harbaugh is our head coach.

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. [Title]

Output: Not desperation just smart roster building


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: I love the in denial Michigan fan


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] like the seniors on the d-line did in 2011 and I'll believe [Title]

Output: Show me the seniors on the o-line that can play


Input: [Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: I would agree if


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Body] 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 [Title]

Output: I think players should be able to benefit


Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Body] Hope it's not us [Title]

Output: One unlucky 1 seed is going to get OK State on their 8/9 line


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] I've been stocking that for good memories a lot recently. Watched sweet 16 Kansas game last night. I appreciate it man. [Title]

Output: It's my fault


Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Body] Is 100% healthy every season except Izzo's? [Title]

Output: I thought it was common knowledge every team in the country


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Body] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoXFMCio-pc&list=PLX1ZyQ98pEQCLLMT3leZTG... [Title]

Output: 2012 Buckeye game


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

Output: I didn't realize they hang banners for "getting nothing"


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

Output: That's the equivalent of saying you can't play prevent defense


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Body] 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 [Title]

Output: No fake punt fear in the special teams section?


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

Output: Mods on rivals


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: They weren't there for Campbell


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

Output: It says 141


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

Output: 1999


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

Output: I don't think


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

Output: Ha


Input: [Date] 4 years 33 weeks ago [Body] Harbaugh [Title]

Output: Don't Forget


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

Output: He's Not


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

Output: I'm Not


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

Output: National Championships


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: I don't think


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

Output: Caputo


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

Output: It's based off current


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

Output: If OSU


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Body] The week of THE GAME also features Oregon-Zona and Auburn-Bama [Title]

Output: Not That Many Choices This Week


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

Output: Wow


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

Output: Seriously?


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] No [Body]

Output: He is not "innocent" of the crime in the eyes of the law. He is not guilty. Those two concepts have very different meanings.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 2 days ago [Title] God [Body]

Output: This board has turned into RCMB with an added, entirely underserved layer of moral superiority (the comments, not the OP).


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I'm sorry [Body]

Output: But it's laughable to say we have some sort of moral high ground on this. All you need to do is scroll a few inches to the right to read the Mgoboard thread on this story to see a couple dozen comments (which have not been criticized) about how this is "karma" for Weber because he chose OSU and how people don't feel sorry for him in the least. As a group, we are pretty much exactly as petty and childish about kids who commit to other schools as are Bucknuts, 11W, and RCMB. And we're definitely worse than places like BHGP (read their thread on Higdon recommitting).


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] This has been analyzed repeatedly [Body]

Output: Stars matter. A 5 star is more likely to be an all-conference player and a high draft pick than a 4 star, and a 4 star is more likely than a 3 star. There's a huge margin of error with any individual recruit, but on balance recruiting rankings are decent predictors of college performance.


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 3 days ago [Title] But Saban didn't want him [Body]

Output: It's common consensus that Saban told him to find a new job so that Saban could bring in Kiffin.


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Feldman isn't an NFL guy [Body]

Output: He's a college reporter, and a really good one at that. Could he be wrong? Sure. But it's silly to lump every non-MIchigan reporter into one big "national writer" category and then dismiss every piece of info coming out of that category.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Or [Body]

Output: They're being told by people they trust who have knowledge of the situation that Harbaugh isn't interested in the Michigan job. Why is that so completely unfathomable?


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Jesus [Body]

Output: An awful lot of people here sound like Notre Dame fans did about Meyer and Gruden during ND's last search. Basically every non-Michigan source at this point has said that Harbaugh is not interested in the MIchigan job. Could they all be wrong? Sure. No one has a direct line into Harbaugh's head. But people are reacting like every legitimate source saying Harbaugh ain't coming needs to be burned at the stake and is making stuff up, while every random person who says Harbaugh is coming has ironclad evidence. It's...unseemly.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] Long/Bielema [Body]

Output: Perhaps an impertinent question, but are we just supposed to ignore the fact that Bielema has been, like, horrendously bad at Arkansas so far? I agree it was a stunning hire. It's far from obvious that it was a good one. The man is 0-12 in the SEC and Wisconsin fans seemed genuinely glad to see the back of him, even at the time. Given that a new AD is highly likely to be making an immediate coaching hire, this seems like something we should be keeping in mind.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 3 days ago [Title] No [Body]

Output: You access it through your TV provider. Directv subscribers do not have access to ESPN3 online. It's, as far as I know, the only cable provider whose subscribers can't use ESPN3.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 3 days ago [Title] The reason people are confused [Body]

Output: is that the Baylor game isn't actually on ESPN2 on Directv. It's on ESPN2 alternate, and nothing is showing on ESPN2. So they're just getting a black screen and a notice that the game has been blacekd out.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] In an ideal world [Body]

Output: I would prefer to have a team with a dynamic spread offense and a great defense, but it's very uncommon for a team to be dominant on both sides of the ball. Given a choice between a great offense and a mediocre defense, or a team with a great defense and a mediocre offense, I'd choose the great offense 11 times out of 10. Given a choice between a team with a great pro style offense and a good spread offense, I'd choose the spread offense because I find it to be more entertaining, and that's why I watch football. I find good defense boring, and would rather be a mediocre team from the Dread Pirate Leach days than crush all comers playing Alabama's style. I personally loved the 2010 Illinois game, and have never understood why people are so upset about it.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] People are really overrating [Body]

Output: Nussmeier's stature at the time Michigan hired him as OC. Before Michigan hired him, I had never heard his name mentioned in connection with any major coaching job. Also, if you believe the scuttlebutt, it's not at all clear that Nussmeier could have waited a year at Alabama.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] Team Chad Morris [Body]

Output: Though I admit a lot of that is aesthetic. I watch football to be entertained, and find teams that have hurry up spread offenses and mediocre defenses infinitely more entertaining that pro-style or defensively-based teams.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] People are answering you rationally [Body]

Output: You're just mistakenly conflating the possibility of getting 16 points with two touchdowns with the likelihood of doing so. You're not in a "two score game" if 75% of the time two touchdowns and two 2 point conversion attempts won't get you 16 points.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] No [Body]

Output: 16 points is two scores and two 2 point conversions. We treat a 14 point game as "two scores" because the success rate on extra points is well above 95%, so you can safely assume that two scores will get you 14 points. Conversion rates on two point conversions are somewhere around 40-50%, so a successful two point conversion can't be assumed the way a successful extra point can. If you're down 8, half the time you're in a 1 score game (because you'll make the 2 point conversion) and half the time you're in a 2 score game (because you won't). The situation is obviously worse if you're down 16, because you need a 40-50% coin flip to come up heads twice. In other words, it's far more likely than not that you'll ultimately need 3 scores. In that situation, you want to find out as soon as humanly possible how many scores you actually will need by the end of the game, because any team down 3 scores needs to take drastic measures.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 10 hours ago [Title] You need the same amount of points regardless [Body]

Output: Not going for two just gives you the illusion of being in a 2 score game. But 60% of the time (or whatever current conversion rates are), you're still in a 3 score game. You just don't know it yet. And not knowing keeps you from employing the optimal strategy to maximize your (very slim) chances of winning the game.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] I don't get this [Body]

Output: I'm not saying he's not a good coach (I think it's too soon to tell), but can we really just ignore the fact that part of the reason he's at Michigan is that Saban didn't particularly want him anymore?


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] Coaching Options [Body]

Output: Feel like Chad Morris's name at least needs to be in the mix as well. Hot-shot coordinators don't always work out (hello, Will Muschamp), but the list of quasi-realistic candidates from the established head coach pool is incredibly thin after Mullen. If Michigan would have gone after the biggest hotshot coordinator on the market 4 years ago (Malzahn), I doubt people would be complaining today.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 1 day ago [Title] The Coaching Pool [Body]

Output: isn't entirely devoid of options, though Narduzzi almost certainly wouldn't take the Michigan job. Dan Mullen, Chad Morris, Kirby Smart (not my preferred style but would fit with what the program wants to be).


Input: [Date] 50 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] The goal of college athletics [Body]

Output: is not to maximize profits. I have no idea why our AD has such an incredibly difficult time understanding this.


Input: [Date] 1 year 6 weeks ago [Title] Will it break your heart [Body]

Output: if I tell you it was actually Martin Tyler, not Ian Darke, who called that game and said the "howler" line?


Input: [Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Title] Brian [Body]

Output: used to write about the Pistons on this site pretty regularly during the Haloscan days. This long predates Trey Burke.


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Title] Basketball [Body]

Output: School.


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Title] Stokes is a very, very good college player [Body]

Output: He might be too much of a tweener to be an NBA guy, but he'll be a handful for Robinson (assuming they put Morgan on Maymon).


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Title] They Beat Virginia [Body]

Output: by 35 in Knoxville, and scored 87 points. Would guess that's doing a lot of the work.


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Title] Lagavulin [Body]

Output: neat.


Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Title] Beat Them in 2009 [Body]

Output: Came back from 20 points down in the second half. Laval Lucas-Perry hit a late three that hit the front of the rim and somehow bounced up and in. If they don't win that game (against a very, very bad IU team), they probably don't make the tournament that year, and who knows where the program is right now.


Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Title] The argument [Body]

Output: is that teams generally don't take contested 3 pointers. If you have a hand in someone's face, he's not going to end up taking a 3. Thus, 3 point field goal percentage is mostly measuring how well teams shoot in situations where they had a good enough look to actually pull the trigger, and most of the variance in that is random chance.


Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Title] Doesn't matter if it took .3 or not [Body]

Output: Here's the rule: In any period, when the game clock displays 10ths of seconds and play is to be resumed by a throw-in or a free throw when 3/10 (.3) of a second or less remains on the game clock, a player may not gain possession of the ball and try for a field goal. Such player can only score a field goal by means of a tap of a pass or of a missed free throw.


Input: [Date] 3 days 14 hours ago [Body] Niles was trying to move to the Wolverine so if they could get both Benton Harbor and Niles to make the move than that'd be ideal for both school. [Title]

Output: Niles was trying to move to


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Body] I'm a 90's kid but MASH is still by far my favorite TV Show when I was growing up. Another great one was the West Wing. [Title]

Output: I'm a 90's kid but MASH is


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Body] Those were shows I watch when I was a little older but still a "kid" [Title]

Output: Those were shows I watch when


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 2 days ago [Body] This is a great movie, while the actual physical abuse is not good the tough love and tough teaching pushed the drummer to be exceptional and that is only way truly great talents can be made. Being coddled will do no one good. [Title]

Output: This is a great movie, while


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 2 days ago [Body] It's so sad when players like Simon are "mad" because a coach made him work hard at practice or called him a "pussy". Football is a mans sport and if hard work and a coach yelling at you is too much than that is pathetic and you don't deserve to play the game. Grow up and be a damn man. People in our country are truly becoming soft skinned and weaker as the years go by. What's this guy going to do when a boss yells at him for messing something up in the "real" world? Cry and put on a 6 hours bitchfit on Twitter? If I was an employer and heard of this so called man attacking his coach like he has I would never hire him. If you have a problem you sit down face to face with that person and work it out, you don't act like a child and cry to the public on Twitter. Football is not a game for the weak minded people and Simon has proven to be one of those people. [Title]

Output: It's so sad when players like


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 21 min ago [Body] The only dog I've had was a Golden Retriever that we had gotten when I was a 2 year old. That dog was the most energetic and loving dog and took care of me as a kid whenever I was sick or hurt she was right by my side. As a little kid that dog wore me out faster than I could her. In my opinion if you have a kid, even if you don't, a GR is a great dog to have. My beautiful dog lived to be 16 years old and the bond me and her built was so strong I don't think I had ever cried as much when we had to put her down. [Title]

Output: The only dog I've had was a


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 hours ago [Body] I understand people aren't a big fan of all the bowl games but two things. 1. You don't have to watch all 42 games so why complain about it?? And 2. Football at the college level is fun to watch for many people so the more game the better. I for one, which is just my opinion, would much rather watch two 6-6 teams face off in a bowl game where many kids are playing the last game they will ever play than watching NFL games. Not to mention there are rarely games on Sunday anyways so you won't miss out on any NFL games and still be able to watch most of the college bowl games. [Title]

Output: I understand people aren't a


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Did this man just grow a pair and call out the SEC????? Good for Delany. [Title]

Output: Did this man just grow a pair


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 11 hours ago [Body] Yea I've been wondering the same. I thought I saw end of April but that doesn't seem likely now since no one is talking about a commitment coming from his soon. Does anyone know when the late signing period is? Has that already happened? [Title]

Output: Yea I've been wondering the


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Avalanche the last one? [Title]

Output: Avalanche the last one?


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I hope people realize that coaches and AD's have a say in any team worn apparel that the companies make for them. It's not like Nike has 100% rights to make whatever the hell they want to. Dantonio and/or the AD gave approval to this design. Same goes for Michigan and Adidas. [Title]

Output: I hope people realize that


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Body] For all the Bulls fans on here, 1. Do you think Thibs either leaves or gets let go and if so 2. Who do you want them/who do you think they will get to replace him? Sadly I think this'll be the last year he's in Chicago. It seems like him and the FO butt heads too much. What's all of your opinions? [Title]

Output: For all the Bulls fans on


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Body] How big is Wagner supposed to be? [Title]

Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Thats why I said "I believe." I wasn't sure what kind of engine it was. All I remember was it was fast as hell and could beat everyone in a race easily. But its cool being an ass. Which I'm guessing once you see this you'll just say "Oh, I was just being sarcastic." [Title]

Output: Thats why I said "I believe."

Output: 2007 Silver Honda Accord 4


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Yea, for a so called professional writer, making a joke about a 16/17 year old high schooler is extremely unprofessional. [Title]

Output: Yea, for a so called


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Yes, about 90% of all "customer service" reps at a huge company are idiots. I'm sorry if anyone is in this line of work but hopefully you are part of that 10% because I'd be willing to be of that 90% the collective IQ is like 20. [Title]

Output: Yes, about 90% of all


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] She's just showing off the same attitude and mindset that ESPN has. "I'm too big and too good and you can't touch me." Well she learned and ESPN needs to learn that isn't the case. [Title]

Output: She's just showing off the


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Body] The first one as in Pahntom Menace or the actual first movie? The PH is absolutely awful so that's not a good one to base whether you like Star Wars or not. But it's very easy to see why people might not be into the series. It's not a movie for everyone that's for sure. [Title]

Output: The first one as in Pahntom


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Body] There case was a very unique one though. Both had played only 1 year of football I believe. Still I understand what you were going for, but not similar to many of the guys we have been bringing in as preferred walk-ons [Title]

Output: There case was a very unique


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 4 hours ago [Body] So what's everyone's take on this upcoming Avengers movie? I seriously cannot wait for it. The movie is gonna be awesome based off the couple trailers I have seen. Also if you haven't watched the new Terminator trailer that just got released DO NOT WATCH IT. It'll give off a huge part of the movie and for me made it a lot less likely for me to watch the movie in theaters. Just don't watch it if you don't want the movie semi ruined. [Title]

Output: So what's everyone's take on


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 6 hours ago [Body] I thought the series really took off with 5. I think 5 saved the franchise. [Title]

Output: I thought the series really


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 9 hours ago [Body] Also the Nolan Batman Trilogy is probably up there as well. I mean The Dark Knight has to be one of if not the greatest comic book movie ever made. [Title]

Output: Also the Nolan Batman Trilogy

Output: 1. Marvel 2. Fast and Furious


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 9 hours ago [Body] I was never a comic book reader so I didn't have any prior knowledge with all of the Marvel movies but for me, they are easily in my top 2 with probably Fast and Furious from the 5th movie on. (Haven't seen number 7 yet sadly). [Title]

Output: I was never a comic book


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Sue the city too for letting that guy into their city limits. Hell why stop there, why not sue the entire state for allowing him to live in the state. [Title]

Output: Sue the city too for letting


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Yea I don't think our legal system is built so people can get rich quick off companies by suing them. It's to get justice and that is exactly what he got when the got was sentenced. Now if he sued the guy that shot him and is responsible for his injuries then fine, that's what the legal system is about. But to sue 5 companies just because the guy drank there is truly a get rich quick.

That's a death sentence that Disney would never allow. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 hours 40 min ago [Title] I'm still blown away that the [Body]

Output: I'm still blown away that the conference would even allow such a thing to happen in the first place, Dave Brandon or no Dave Brandon. In the last 40 years, no B1G team has had to travel to a rival's stadium two years in a row. That's unheard of in the modern era. Granted, because of the number of teams in conference, there have been instances where there have been two straight (non-rival) meetings at one stadium but it was always evened out. For instance, we played Minnesota at the Metrodome in 2002 and 2003 and we played them at the big house in 2004 and 2005. In the 80's, we did a similar pattern when we played Iowa. Why the crap is there no effort to even out this thing with Sparty? I was never a fan of Dave Brandon and I'm glad he's gone. But did he really have the power to fight that?

Output: Agree. I'll take Army, Air Force and Navy over the MAC schools or 1-AA schools any time. Navy was a pretty common opponent during the Schembechler years. It's also the only time you'll hear the big house crowd cheer for the opponent. During pregame of the Air Force game a couple years ago, it was weird to hear the cheers but at the same time, it made sense. You're not going to boo the Air Force.

Output: I love how excited the crowd is to do the wave in 84. I have an old Detroit News article on the 85 Notre Dame game (Harbaugh's junior year) and it mentions that the first half was a total snoozer. The only entertaining thing being the students several failed attempts at starting the wave. Had the newness of the wave already faded after two years? Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Output: That's kind of impressive when you also factor in that Cook had a superior defense and better OL to work with than Rudock. Rudock's stats behind a horrible OL ala-Michigan are already a pleasant surprise. I'll honestly be shocked if he isn't the starter this Fall. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
