Input: [Date] 27 weeks 2 days ago [Body] prefer we fill the class to the maximum scholarships available, or just take the right amount for depth and focus on 2016 kids? I ask bc depth isnt that bad in some areas, and perhaps taking a class of 10-12 now would be better then a full 16. Next year 16 spots appear to be open, and with a year of HARBAUGH maybe he has a better chance to grab that elite talent next season. Just curious what everyone else thinks, [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 days 14 hours ago [Body] OP, you don't know what you're talking about. Williams and Pomona are, by almost any standard, top-ten colleges. (US News ranks them both in the top five.) Academically, they're on par with the top Ivies, and their acceptance standards are among the highest in the world. The whole "declining enrollment" thing doesn't really apply to these schools. And, anyway, the broader decline in college enrollment isn't about quality. it's about cost. Private colleges are more expensive than public ones. In a recession, guess what happens? Also, your logic is bizarre. So these tiny little colleges, with their relatively small endowments, are buying off Forbes? But the huge top-flight universities, with their massive endowments, are helpless lambs? [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I wouldn't pretend to know how things will turn out for Shane. I'm cautiously optimistic. The one thing that did strike me, while watching his limited playing time, was that he seemed smaller and more slight than the average gun-slinging pocket-passer type. Is this perception accurate? Or no? [Title]

Output: I wouldn't pretend to know


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Body] You need to go to Iowa and Indiana. They're both great. Indiana is so old-school, you can enter the stadium at any time, day or night.

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I don't think you understand how journalism works. You think they should just sit on their hands and not report a player's allegations -- even after asking M for comment? If this were Bama, I bet you'd be the first guy accusing ESPN of a coverup. [Title]

Output: No. The coaches already know


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Correct. It's so early in the cycle, things haven't had a chance to shake out. Inevitably, at least a few of these kids will go elsewhere -- ones that get late offers from their local team, or ones worried they'll get buried on michigan's depth chart. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I think you're generally right. But most of the 2-stars will become 3s. And a few 3s will become 4s. It's just the nature of the beast. Under the radar kids who make high-profile commits inevitably get more attention and benefit of the doubt. [Title]

Output: I think you're generally


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Given the universe of random OT posts -- where to dine in Paris, Game of Thrones blather -- this doesn't seem off-base. It involves a blue-chip player at a B10 football rival. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Perhaps you haven't been informed that we probably have roughly 10 more slots to fill. The class is likely to end up closer to 25 than 14, according to most "insiders." We could easily end up with 10-12 4-stars (and maybe one or two 5-stars). Also, most of our 2-stars will end up as 3-stars; some of the 3-stars will become 4s. We could very likely end up with a Top 10 class. Top 15, at worst. [Title]

Output: Perhaps you haven't been


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Seriously, do you not realize we'd end up with 10-12 three-stars no matter what (assuming a class close to 25)? Nobody recruits 90 percent 4-5 stars. We still have about 20 spots saved for the tougher gets, who tend to hold out until later in the process. Better to fill out your roster now, then focus on the touch pulls. We'll get some, lose some. But the current pattern makes sense. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 1 day ago [Body] But they're not all taking the place of 4 stars. We still have maybe a dozen more slots. No team except maybe the top few gets all 4-5 stars. In the end, we could still have two-thirds four stars. And that's excellent. So calm down. [Title]

Output: But they're not all taking


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I think you possibly overestimate the degree to which coaching at camps ultimately matters. You can only learn so much in such a very short time, especially when there's like 20 other qbs there. These camps are mostly about PR and ego. [Title]

Hatch is either a medical hardship case or he's not. Based on Beilein's track record, I'd guess he'll handle this situation the right way. Otherwise, he'd be no better than an SEC footballl coach.

It would be easy for him to end this thing now. But he hasn't. And he clearly has some attachment to Michigan. Plus, Harbaugh and Wheatley. Plus, doesn't Urban normally forbid verbal commits from meeting with coaches from M and MSU? If Weber just met with Dantonio, and if he's scheduled to meet Harbaugh, wouldn't this suggest that he and OSU aren't very solid? [Title]

Input: [Date] 26 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Thank you for saying this. Sure, S&C coaches are important. But jeez. Rare is the S&C coach who's a game-changer, one way or the other. I'm sure Barwis is a perfectly good one. But mostly, it seemed, he just had a good branding thing going. When a team is no good, everyone always points to the S&C coach. Usually, though, it's more complicated than that. [Title]

Input: [Date] 26 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Josh Smith was by far the worse of the two. Retrospect is easy. At the time, though, everybody wanted Darko. Drafting him was a reasonable bet, especially given how few draft picks are sure things. Smith, by contrast, was widely known to be selfish, overrated, and generally not a good egg. The team didn't revolt against Darko. And his contract wasn't nearly as crippling as Smith's. This isn't a close call. [Title]

Input: [Date] 26 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I understand why the coaches are saying this to recruits. It's the literal truth. But I'm sure the coaches know the transition will ultimately produce some attrition (and will therefore open additional spots). There will be guys who just don't fit the Harbaugh Way. Or don't want to fit. We'll likely see a few transfers by the time spring practice is done. Also, the whole "we only have a few spots left" is a helpful sales pitch. [Title]

Input: [Date] 27 weeks 14 hours ago [Body] If I were a coach, a silent commit would make me far more nervous than a kid who isn't yet committed. Silent implies significant degrees of uncertainty and deception, and I'd constantly be wondering if I'm being played. With silent commits, you're holding places for them. With players who haven't committed, at least you can keep recruiting other players at that position and not be left holding the bag on NSD. I do wonder re the percentage of silent commits who end up backing out. But I guess we'll never know. [Title]

But of course it was. Also, he wasn't exactly blessed with a high-caliber passing attack. He's a really smart guy, and a remarkable athlete. He could make this transition. He may well be a better long-term investment than a certain other Michigan WR. [Title]

Input: [Date] 28 weeks 12 hours ago [Body] The whole "LA is a bad sports town" is yet another one of those lame cliches about the city. Most of its teams -- Dodgers, Lakers, Kings, even the Galaxy -- draw very well. The Clips and Angels do respectably. So do USC and UCLA. Yes, attendance tends to flag when the teams struggle. But you could say that about most cities. Been to a Pistons game lately? Or a typical MSU football game? LA's NFL reputation had merit only to the extent that LA -- where there's plenty of alternatives, and where there's no real winter -- doesn't desperately need NFL football. But its "failure" to keep an NFL team stemmed mostly from bad, flighty ownership. Also, today's NFL is far more popular than it was when the Rams played in LA. And while it's true that LA fans tend to arrive late and leave early, that's generally a function of LA freeway traffic. If you're leaving work at 6 PM, or if you've got to get the kids in bed by 10, you're gonna miss part of the game. [Title]

Input: [Date] 29 weeks 5 days ago [Body] It's ridiculous how swiftly and decisively the peanut-gallery has given up on Shane. No, he hasn't set the world on fire. But he's had very limited game experience, under pretty crappy circumstances. Most QBs ride the pine for 2 or 3 years. And most need substantial starting reps before they hit their strides. (Few people saw much potential in a young Tom Brady, either). Everybody points to the young QBs at FSU and OSU -- but those QBs are a) exceptional and b) surrounded by NFL-caliber lines and RBs. Give Shane a minute to prove himself before you summarily dismiss him. [Title]

Input: [Date] 30 weeks 3 days ago [Body] It's highly unlikely that M will have to pay SF anything. By most accounts, NFL contracts are restrictive only re the NFL. A coach can quit the NFL, and therefore his NFL contract, at any time, without penalty. It's unlikely Harbaugh's contract prohibits him from leaving for the college ranks. I'm not sure such a contract would even be legal. [Title]

It's unbelievable that people care who makes the uniforms -- especially since it's the school that makes the ultimate call on what it will and won't wear.

Output: I don't believe any coaches


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Hard to say what our decommits will do. Generally, though, Harbaugh's arrival would no doubt have a sensational impact on this recruiting class. He's one of the true coaching rock stars. He'll pull at least a few big recruits. Also, given his reputation with QBs, don't be surprised if he makes a serious run at one of the most coveted QB recruits -- to go along with Malzone, presumably. (Given that M has no established QBs, I could see Harbaugh taking two this year. Yes, it's a small class. But all coaching changes bring attrition, and this class could easily exceed 16). Four of the top QB prospects -- Rosen, Town, White, Browning -- are from California, where Harbaugh's reputation looms especially large. All four are committed elsewhere. But here's guessing at least one of them would return Harbaugh's calls. [Title]

And the AD has ample money to offer Harbaugh. The rest is out of Schlissel's hands. Also, if we're to glean anything from comments made by botth Schissel and Hackett, it's that M has limited its candidate-pool to coaches who haven't taken "short-cuts." That's a bold statement -- especially if they hold true to it. We'll see. [Title]

Input: [Date] 31 weeks 1 day ago [Body] His apology seemed unnecessary. M has allowed in athletes with substandard grades. Some of these students have no doubt struggled. The recent graduation rate is great. But M, like so many other schools, has frequently steered students down the ol' General Studies/Kinesiology path. Neither is necessarily bad. But they tend to be the paths of least resistence, academically speaking. I assume a brilliant educator like Schlissel, having reviewed everything, had reason to come to his initial conclusion. He simply thinks M could do better on this front. Which is true. His apology, I'd imagine, was mostly a diplomatic one. [Title]

Output: Enjoy the self imposed exile. I need to fit in time to read this awesome blog every day, and sometimes find that there is too much content for me to get through. I cannot imagine the time it takes to write, edit, compile, etc the plethora (yea, I said it) of information you feed those of us diehards who read even in the offseason.

Input: [Date] 3 years 43 weeks ago [Title] respectfully disagree [Body]

Output: the most important question not asked is whether the athletes on the field like what we are piping in.. Even though ITBH, Lose Yourself, Seven Nation Army, etc seem to be cliche, the players MUST get pretty amped up when 110K+ sing along. In today's world, we will never see a unique piped in song for more than a week, unless it is as specific as ITBH. So the metric should really be whether the music is uplifting (ie 7 Nation, etc), or ridiculous (Neil, Journey). Frankly, the only reason Don't Stop Believin' is piped is for 2 words

Input: [Date] 4 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Agreed [Body]

Output: I want a night game a year too, and for selfish reasons. As a season ticket holder from out of state, it is a major ordeal for me to haul my ass to AA from NY for games, so I do it right for the 4 or so games I decide to attend. I am at the golf course when it opens, tailgate as long as possible, wrap it up and get to the stadium before kickoff. Then afterwards, I may get another hour while traffic thins out. The experience is over all too soon, especially later in the season when we kick off early. I am sooo excited to be able to enjoy the day with my fellow tailgaiters. I will grill at least 3 times, play some bag toss (hate calling it cornhole), toss the ball, watch the early games (we bring a 48' screen), and basically enjoy the entire day of Michigan Football. This makes up for the one guaranteed bad weather game I attend every season (still hate you Northwestern game).

Input: [Date] 4 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Swagger [Body]

Output: We had swagger...and I don't mean to single out the Fab 5 as the source. They were certainly a large part of the equation, but it was plain exciting to be a fan of Michigan sports (state of, not just UM) because of all of our (my) teams. I fondly recall that time. Remember the Pistons were coming off 2 NBA championships (they went 2 for 3) and were the Bad Boys, the UM basketball team had their championship and then the Fab 5 came, the Red Wings were leading the NHL in scoring and you just knew they were going to start to win championships (and they did), Cecil Fielder was busy winning HR and RBI crowns, UM football had back to back Rose Bowl games...hell even the Lions had Barry Sanders and a 12 and 4 Season in '91. We had the best RB in the NFL, the best hitter in baseball, the most hated NBA team, the most exciting NHL team, and a 5 year run of Big 10 football championships. Topping it off for me personally, the spartans were 3-8! Man I miss those days!

Output: Because Denard sat behind Tate, Devin sat behind Denard...and they all had the opportunity to play either due to injury or through proving themselves. If a QB is elite, he must believe he is elite enough not to sit.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Michigan Man in 07 [Body]

Output: It really felt like there was a big push to make some changes following Lloyd in 07. Although we beat Florida, we also lost to Oregon and that FCS school. There was disgust in the fanbase. We wanted change. Michigan Man wasn't really part of the discussion. RR came in and made very drastic changes that although the fanbase asked for, they weren't ready for. The backlash is partly due to a need to get back to what we were - kind of a careful what you ask for situation.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] At the very least [Body]

Output: At the very least there had to be some Hoke influence, as Denard made his decision after speaking with Brady. And don't overlook that Denard mentioned playing in 2 different offensive schemes...which means Brady didn't just tell DR what he wanted to hear.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Anyone who doesn't think MI [Body]

Output: Anyone who doesn't think MI in elite should tune in to ESPN. What other coaching vacancies get Airtime?

Output: 3500 is hard for anyone to do, as it requires almost 300 yards per game average. However. I think he is a better passer than he gets credit for. Imagine his numbers if just half of the catchable balls last season were, ya know...caught.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] I hope Denard decides to stay [Body]

Output: I hope Denard decides to stay, but not for the same reason I see everyone arguing. Yes, he is a stud. No argument there. More importantly to me is that he is a guy who represents Michigan - even beyond football. He is a leader, is humble, has zero ego, takes losses hard, contributes, and competes. He LOVES playing for us. He LOVES playing for his teammates. He is a Michigan Man, and it would be a shame to see him leave.

Output: That's all understood. Though i tend to be a bit more realistic about the expectation is for the position stuff. I expect the backup (smith in this case most likely) to be servicable in case of season injury. But again, fall is a long way away.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I'm reserving all judgement [Body]

Output: I'm reserving all judgement till the fall. But I also expect Issac to be the #1 RB. Hard to get too worried about the run game when one of the players is out with injury.

Let's go fast, it's going to be fun.' It wasn't anything like that. It was, 'I'm going to kick your (butt) and make you fast.' ... I think that's why you bring in a guy like that."


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I like them. Love how they [Body]

Output: I like them. Love how they continue the helmet graphic onto the masks. Like the simple design outside of the shoulder graphic. I think the silver looks significantly better than any solid white uni that a school might wear. Its distinctly Oregon dispite not having the team colors. I like the OSU ones as well.

Output: I like this idea, but this video ruins it for me


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Body] I think I'm with the (albeit small) majority here in saying that its time to retire the song. It was excellent in 2009, but had diminishing returns last year, and I think the trend would continue this year. If you want a song with an emotional Pay-out, I think "Wet Sand" by the RHCP is a very fitting song which speaks to our school's traditions / requirements for a program being bizarre &unique, but owning up to that (i.e. "You don't form in the wet sand, I do"). The lyrics are very abstract (as most RHCP lyrics tend to be), but the song really seems like it could fit this year. It also has the added benefit of 1/2 of theband being born in Michigan (Anthony K. and Chadd Smith both from Grand Rapids and are said to be huge Michigan fans. Rumor has it that they even played the intro to the Michigan fight song in Columbus and were banned from Radio play for some time). [Title]

Output: Pains me to say, but time for a new song


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Body] You'd be amazed how many people are eager to help when someone reaches out to them with initiative. This is one tactic I used when attempting to move into my industry (Digital Media). The hit rates are low (1 person out of 5 typically responds), but those who do respond tend to have a lot of enthusiasm in giving back. It's unlikely they will be able to give you a job, but they may know others in the industry and good resources. I'd contact your office of Career Development or use filters on the Alumni Directory (I went to UMich, but I'm certain CMU will have a similar type directory). Best of luck! -Jason [Title]

Output: I Recommend Utilizing your School's Alumni Directory


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Body] I worked for Accenture, doing Management consulting for a few years out of Undergrad. My client was Yale, so I spent Mon-Thursday down there. I would say my situation was rare since more companies are based in the city than New Haven. Had a few good times down there (The Playwright is a good place to grab a few brews). That was the beauty / pain of consulting, lots of travel to random places. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Body] I live in NYC but commuted to New Haven for the better part of a year while working in consulting. The town itself may not be great, but there are some great places to grab a bite to eat: - New Haven pizza is amazing (Sallys, Pepes) - Bar is a cool pizzeria/brewery - Louies Lunch is a great place for burgers Recommendation would be to move to a nearby town (shelton / trumbull / etc) and commute (20 minutes or so).

Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Stanford had very good TEs last, it may take a couple of years [Body]

Output: for UM to get to that level. I watched a few Stanford games living 30 mins from the campus, and their TEs were very productive players, I checked the stats and their two combined for 700 yds and 12 TDs, now I think Koger has the talent, maybe even Webb, but it will take a year or two for them and any new recruits to reach those numbers, esp now moving from the spread to an offense that features the TE a bit more.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] recruiting, rivalries for two [Body]

Output: If it was ND carrying the conference, they would have a tough time getting recruits who want to play against other top teams, and also ones that want to experience rivalry play. Unless the big ten schools guaranteed they'd have ND on their n/c schedule, that's likely not going to happen.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] 3000 is a great acheivement no doubt [Body]

Output: but ESPN along with others like yahoo sports were really obsessing over it. On another board, someone brought up that Jim Thome is at 597 homeruns, and hasn't gotten any attention, even though 600 is a far more exclusive club, indeed if you take out those supsected or found guilty of steroids, that club has Ruth, Mays, Aaron and Griffey. Let's celebrate the achievement and also get back to the pennant races, it's a valid point.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] good point on CC and Denver [Body]

Output: can't believe I forgot about those schools. Anyway the wcha would not have been hurt as much, in fact they should have made a play for ND and UAF or just stayed where they were and see what happens. NMU and LSSU have to get the right coaches for them to be relevant, post Comley and post Jackson, those schools have not been relevant on the national scene. They can't be expected to be top-4 year in and year out to give Mia and ND some balance. The thing is that for a conference to fluorish, you need to be next to a decent or major media market, without Detroit or Chicago the new ccha would really struggle. Even the new wcha has Denver, and h/e has Boston of course and ECAC has New York. So I don't really see a WMU even with Blashill helping out too much in that regard.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] the ccha after the big-10 conf starts is not stable [Body]

Output: ND and Miami sure, but no guarantee that even with Blashill, WMU would continue to be a top-20 team, and then you have schools with very regional followings so the new ccha would not be able to recruit with the big ten or wcha and they would start falling behind. Would you consider ND if you knew that you weren't playing any big ten teams (unless it was non conf) and no one of national power, except Miami? As for the WCHA, they're in a better position so I could see them adding teams and remainng intact, but can't really fault NoDak (who would have to carry the conference initially) to try to team up with ND and Miami for a new conference. And I'm not sure what your defintion of late is, but MSU won it all in 2007, Wiscy in 2006 and Wiscy was in the finals two years ago.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] The UM offense had more problems than those [Body]

Output: they were ranked 36'th in 3'rd down percentage and 77'th in fourth down percentage, which contributed to not scoring in the red zone or going for FGs. If you're going to be an elite offense, you should be in the top-10 at converting 3'rd downs, or at least top-20.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] The FSU and Iowa games were not beatdowns [Body]

Output: I was at the FSU game too and that was 31-24 at the half and some late TOs returned for TDs made it look like a blowout. Iowa was 10-9 at the half, the Wiscy game was 24-0.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] the debate is actually a thinly veiled attempt to [Body]

Output: show that some good things happened under RR and using FEI to justify that UM had the second best offense in the country with only FGA, red zone randomness, and fluky TOs, all not related to the offense, being what pulled the team down. Anyway, being out here in the bay area, I saw lot of Stanford and Oregon games, along with some BSU and Nevada games, and those four teams along with Auburn had better offenses than Michigan.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] the UM offense in the first half vs OSU was average at best [Body]

Output: OSU has a bend and don't break defense, they'll give up the yards to have the other team execute more plays in the hopes of getting a to or a 3'rd down stop. The UM offense had six possessions, five of which ended with zero points: - 2 missed 4'th down coversions - 2 turnovers - 1 punt - 1 TD In what world is this a good offensive half?


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] No, it's the struggling vs the good teams that sticks [Body]

Output: and the good stretches against the mediocre defensive teams that sticks. The offense could 't keep it close against the good teams when the game was in the balance.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] The offense that scores the TD is the better offense [Body]

Output: in your scenario. A lot of teams have bend but don't break (OSU comes to mind as did UM under Carr) and they're more than happy to give some yards in the hope of making the offense execute more plays and maybe turn the ball over or come up short on 3'rd down. The team that gets the ball in the endzone is better than the one that get stalled on 4'th down at the opponent's 30. And here's why, the team that scored converted their 3'rd downs and found a way to score when the defense tightened up. I think the spread does break down in the red zone (see Oregon last year in the NCG) as things like TE crosses and fade routes are better used to get the 7 pts than the read zone.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] total yards is an overrated stat for offensive effectiveness [Body]

Output: for the sake of discussion, let's say points are not the best metric for evaluating an offense, total yards is not much better, in fact it may be worse. Some analysis I read a few years back (maybe even by Brian) pointed to 3'rd/4'th down conversion, yards per rush and number of plays over 20 yards. I was able to get a couple of these for UM in 2010: 3'rd down: 36'th 4'th down: 77'th (12 out of 28), UM was 10'th in attempts ypr: 6'th plays of 20 yds are longer: 24'th (SDSU was 7'th) The 2010 UM offense was good, but not elite, not up there wtih Oregon, Stanford, Auburn, Boise, Nevada etc., so it wouldn't be the end of the world if they tinkered with it.


Input: [Date] 4 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Shawshank as to be up there as a must see [Body]

Output: for a man, about as good a dialogue as you're going to find in a movie with no women, that and pulp fiction.


Input: [Date] 4 years 7 weeks ago [Title] 2001 really shouldn't change all that much, esp the UM game [Body]

Output: Tressel had just taken over in mid-Jan, and this is saying off the bat that he improperly recruited players that played in the 2001 season, which I find hard to believe. My guess is that most of that team was already recruited by Cooper. And the 2001 UM game would have pretty much the same result, that was really a poorly played game by Michigan.


Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Title] Gameday rarely does non abc/espn games [Body]

Output: unless it's like two top-10 SEC teams and so unless both usc and nd are top ten, they may not go there.


Input: [Date] 4 years 17 weeks ago [Title] That's just not true [Body]

Output: Working in hi tech, I find it difficult to believe that Bill Gates, Scott McNealy and say Carly Fiorina were not the smartest people in their class (Gates, McNealy at Harvard, Fiorina at Stanford). And a lot of the smartest students in graduating classes go on to industry, now if you're saying the average PhD has more intelligence than the average Bachelor's, I could buy that, but at the top, there is no difference.


Input: [Date] 4 years 17 weeks ago [Title] PhD students don't have many years or decades of experience [Body]

Output: the average age of incoming PhD students is around 26, given they graduate at 22, they either got a masters or they maybe worked for a couple of years. And that number is inflated by international students, who may have a few more years of work experience, I agree.


Input: [Date] 4 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Michigan is playing really well now, they'll be tough to beat [Body]

Output: as well. After the first period against UNO, UM is really playing well, and just for reference, CC played NoDak real tough in the wcha tourney, I think scoring with a few minutes left to win. And Michigan really handled CC yesterday, the score was no indication of how much better UM was.


Input: [Date] 4 years 18 weeks ago [Title] In any playoff the first two rounds would be at campus sites [Body]

Output: in a 16 team playoff, the round of 16 and 8 and maybe even the semis would be at the higher seeded team's campus, like the nfl does it, and how college hockey used to do it. The championship would be at a neutral site. As for the bowl, you're right, they would not fit in the playoffs, they would still exist and still have games for the teams that didn't make the playoffs. The bowls wouldn't go away, and still have good matchups, for the sake of discussion say, Wisconsin and MSU made the playoffs from the big ten and Stanford and Oregon made the playoffs from the pac ten. The rose bowl would then be OSU and Arizona, not a bad matchup. Now the bowls won't make as much money, but the playoffs would more than compensate for that.


Input: [Date] 4 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Va Tech really benefits from only playing Duke and NC once [Body]

Output: they're in the tourney because folks think the committee will overlook their RPI and see their 7-5 record in the ACC. If they manage to go 1-3 to close out the season, a possibility (play at WF, Duke, BC, at Clemson) they'd be on the other side of the bubble and would need a win or two in the acc tourney.


Input: [Date] 4 years 23 weeks ago [Title] don't see how UM wouldn't be in Manchester in your scenario [Body]

Output: you're making it sound like the ncaa doesn't care about bracket integrity at all, when they do care some and I would see UM getting swapped with Union in this scenario. You already have UNO, NoDak and Miami for St. Louis attendance so don't know why you would make a 6 seed play a 9 seed instead of an 11 seed for attendance, even if it's a pseudo home game for the 11 seed.


Input: [Date] 4 years 23 weeks ago [Title] um now at 9 in the pwr, up one spot [Body]

Output: they can flip the a couple of comparisons with a win tonight I think, so should be interesting.


Input: [Date] 4 years 23 weeks ago [Title] We all met Vada at our student orientation at the b-school [Body]

Output: in 1991 when I enrolled in the mba program. One of the things that started that year was global citizenship and Vada was talking about how tough it can be for inner city youth and his work with the inner city. Prayers and positive thoughts in his direction.


Input: [Date] 4 years 24 weeks ago [Title] good post, a couple of points on uno and unh [Body]

Output: UNO winning really helps, not only in the RPI because UM played them twice but also it helps in the COP against other wcha teams, not sure if it's have much of an impact now, but maybe in a couple of weeks. I think UNH's RPI could really take a hit the next three weeks, looking at their schedule, they have four on the road and play sub-500 teams in Vermont and Northeastern along with a home vs. BC. So if they finish 3-3, and UM finishes say 3-1 or even 2-1-1, they should pass UNH in the RPI and get that pwc.


Input: [Date] 4 years 24 weeks ago [Title] given the hype these two are getting, I hope [Body]

Output: that together they're half as good as Allen Iverson. Anyway ftr, I think Burke is a slightly better prospect, but hey if either can give some athleticism from the perimeter, the team will be in good shape next year.
