Input: [Date] 39 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Glad this worked out. It must have been painfull for a while. [Title]

Output: Welcome back


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Never understood why people go for torches. [Title]

Output: Pitchfork is such a better choice.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 2 days ago [Body] About 18,000 to 6,000.... 18,000 is a lot of points for someone to take down other than a mod..... [Title]

Output: yeah he does


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 2 days ago [Body] This has more potential than our football team.... [Title]

Output: Wow


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 3 days ago [Body] That our coaches arent good at halftime adjustments? I didnt see a conclusion? /s [Title]

Output: So are you saying


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 4 days ago [Body] What more does it take? I feel like Brandon is more toxic than RRod was at this point. [Title]

Output: Is he not toxic now?


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 4 days ago [Body] While Ross is an enormous donor who has made very impressive donations to the University that have likely greatly enriched a lot of things, the University's endowment was $8.4 billion in 2013. I believe Ross has donated around $300 million or 3.5%. He is a big voice, but no individual donor is going to be the only voice. [Title]

Output: Also put it in perspective


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Body] In reference to your footer. The class of 2015 is at 28-17 with 6, maybe 7 games to go. Plus, you were 3-1 against Ohio, 1-1 against ND, 2-2 against State and 2-2 in bowl games. Although the class of 2011 is modern day worst, went 24-26.........0-4 against Ohio, 3-1 against ND, 1-3 against State, 1-1 bowl games. Sad times. [Title]

Output: 33-16 looking pretty good now


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Body] While I agree that the defense is nowhere near the ineptness of last years running games, being 51st in scoring defense is pretty bad. Expectations in year 4 at Michigan are much higher. [Title]

Output: Really both are pretty bad.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Body] How much evidence do you need? We are 3-7 in our last 10 B1G games and 3-10 against Power5 conference teams. Hypothetically the Pistons can be NBA champions this year. I was shocked he wasn't fired after Rutgers. [Title]

Output: Yes he would stay but


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Body] We are only 1.5 underdogs on Sagarin against Penn State after you factor in home field. That makes it essentially a toss up. That is better than I thought it would be. [Title]

Output: Well, on the bright side


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Who do you think Brandon thinks are his customers? Seems to me he thinks it only is the 931 student athletes and big donors. [Title]

Output: I wonder.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I dont think Threet (or Sheridan or Cone) would have needed to light it up though. The QB would have been a game manager type QB that would have handed off a lot to Carlos Brown and Brandon Minor. We actually stayed in a lot of games that year for a while and lost due to turnovers (often on special teams). I dont think Carr would have had as many issues there as while special teams have never been a strength at Michigan, the dropped punts in 2008 were almost comical there was so many. Anyways, no need to debate as we will never know and it really doesnt matter. Clearly would have been better to either have gone to someone with a similar scheme as Carr (the whole Michigan Man bs) or gotten the proper buy-in from those close to the Athletic Dept that a change could be ugly initially. [Title]

Output: Valid point on Mack Brown


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I think Lloyd goes 7-5 or better. The personnel remaining were better fit to Carr's offense. The defense was actually ok that year. Biggest problem they had was bad field position due to the offense's inability to move the ball and turnovers (remember how many punts we dropped?). Given that Lloyd coached 13 seasons and never did worse than 7-5, I doubt he would have in 2008. It was a terrible year to transition, I agree. But it doesnt really matter. All in the past now. [Title]

Output: I disagree even more


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Ron Zook would probably be an upgrade over what we have now. [Title]

Output: Unfortunately


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 44 min ago [Body] Allows for more toughness. [Title]

Output: Actually 10 is better.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 9 hours ago [Body] Anytime there is blood in the water, you have to finish the situation. Brandon will fight back hard and being a CEO, he will be adept at internal politics. It would be great if Brian gave us some direction as I think we would rally behind him. There are multiple things that I think could help: The first 3 are ones that can be done individually: 1. Signing the petition and reaching out to as many alumni as you can to get them to sign. 2. Emailing Schissel 3. Emailing each of the regents. Then some bigger activities that take some organization are: 1. Another protest at the Presidents house 2. Fire Brandon chant at the remaining home games. 3. Fire Brandon shirts. There was a kick starter for this but I believe it failed. Essentially the more the message can be gotten across the better. I also think the focus needs to be on Brandon. Not fire Hoke, not we want Harbaugh. Brandon is the root of the problem. Need to address it there. [Title]

Output: I think we need to continue the pressure.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 20 hours ago [Body] I feel like we should all be beyond wondering. [Title]

Output: Does it really make you wonder?


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 20 hours ago [Body] I think we have the best chance against Indiana and Maryland at home. Less of a chance against Penn State and at Northwestern. Limited to no chance against MSU and OSU. Best case 3-3? Most likely 2-4? Am I optimistic still? [Title]

Output: What are the winnable games?


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 20 hours ago [Body] I am literally laughing put loud at the Hindenburg flyover. [Title]

Output: Thank you


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 20 hours ago [Body] Hiring a good coach on paper would be enough to offset hiring a horrible coach on paper that turned out horrible plus coke gate, seat cushion gate, plane skywriting gate, student seating gate, hockey ticket gate, concussion gate and more? Enough to make him a very good AD? That seems like a low standard. [Title]

Output: Really


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Body] IPad works well today. [Title]

Output: I did have the problem but fine now.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Metro Detroit bars will be a sea of green. Sad times for the Maize and now mainly Blue. Even us beating Rutgers and State losing to Nebraska is only a minor win. [Title]

Output: My friends and I were wondering the same thing


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Post [Title]

Output: Doublr


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Body] You may need to scour through Division 2 and 3 to try to find serfs, plebes, etc. [Title]

Output: Army is the Black Knights


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I did a quick google search and found that they were principally owned by Bain Capital which is a big private equity firm with deep pockets. Yes, they were leveraged, but they were profitable in 2003 ($39 million net income) and 2002 ($61 million net income). [Title]

Output: I am not sure they were in dire straights.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Underperformed both the S & P 500 and Papa Johns during Brandon's tenure. That doesn't make him necessarily a bad CEO, but it certainly doesn't mean he is automatically qualified to be AD. [Title]

Output: Dominos pizza


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Body] However, I feel like the ex-players really want to keep the Bo Mo Carr style alive of conservative offense and stout defense. To "out tough" the opponent. I always thought it was odd that Michigan would emphasize toughness over scheme being an academic school. It obviously worked for Bo but that is becoming a different era. [Title]

Output: I think many of the fans would like this.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I think the 85 team may have been better. But great team in 1988. My first year at M. Tough start with the back to back losses to ND and Miami (ytm). But won the rest of the way except for a tie at Iowa which sucked as we were about to go ahead and Tracey Williams I think fumbled. [Title]

Output: That was a heck of a team of Bo's


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I do wonder which offenses will be statistically worse. 2008 seemed so futile trying to run Threet and Sheridan. This year has plenty of talent but little results. [Title]

Output: Sorry


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Glad Brandon is being transparent as Schissel wanted in his statement. [Title]

Output: I didn't realized we had underperformed


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Body] The 2008 or 2014 offense with the 2010 defense. [Title]

Output: Btw, the worst would be


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Body] That was a really good team but I don't recall the defense being exceptional. At least not as good as 85, 97 or 80. [Title]

Output: Why the 88 defense?


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I don't know what number but I believe it was the 1947 season. I would just love to see the offensive scheme. I have watched M football regularly since 1985 and had season tickets from 1988 (student) until 2013. [Title]

Output: Fritz Crislers Mad Magician team that won the National Title


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Where they get angry just hearing Brandon talk? That guy is just such a jack@ss. [Title]

Output: Is anyone else at the point


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Its the Michigan help desk essentially. 734-764-4357 They told me since I graduated in 1991 that I didnt have a UMID number so I wouldnt be able to do it online. They were going to set up a UMID number and call me back. They guy said it would probably be a day before they called back. [Title]

Output: There is a number you can call


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 days ago [Body] This gets the point across to the people in charge but also doesnt disrepect the players who are working hard to try to make the program a success. [Title]

Output: Express discontent to the Regents and President


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I actually was at the Engineering school for the first time yesterday for Tech Day as my son is considering going there. Pretty impressive place. Never went there in my student days. [Title]

Output: Good enough for me!


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 days ago [Body] JeepinBen for AD! [Title]

Output: Well put


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Last beat the Buckeyes in 1897! [Title]

Output: Cincy is due


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Did you by chance capture the class of the lineman? It would be interesting to see if the youth argument has any merit. [Title]

Output: Great write-up


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Wisconsin won the conference over Nebraska with a horrible record (8-5) in 2012. You really going to take them over a 1 loss team from another conference that didn't win their conference. Clearly a conference championship should be a big plus but need to look at the entire resume. [Title]

Output: I think the committee should take the 4 best teams.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I remember watching that Iowa game and thinking wtf are they doing lined up like that. I have to believe whatever M did in 2003 wasn't really the correct way to run the spread punt.. Poor Carr, tries to be cutting edge for once and it backfired. [Title]

Output: Carr was vilified for that.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 32 min ago [Body] My guess is he will need to compete with Speight. While Morris will be a Junior and Speight only a redshirt freshman, Morris hasnt looked that good when in, even against App State which was not a pressure situation. Ultimately, Michigan should play whoever they have that they think gives them the best chance to win. [Title]

Output: Its not clear to me it will be Morris next year anyways


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 40 min ago [Body] Vegas had our over/under at 7.5 games for the regular season. Most of us laughed at that (I predicted 9-3). Since Vegas is generally trying to even out the money, that means 7.5 games was the consensus across the gambling community. [Title]

Output: Honestly, most people here were probably overly optimistic


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 1 hour ago [Body] I could picture 2-2 before the season but not the way it unfolded. 2 completely uncompetitive losses to teams I really dont think are that good. Hoke is right that it happened in 1998 and we rebounded. But that was in an era where we had just won a national title and been good for a long time. That "stunned" was the realization that we werent invincible on defense like we were the year before with Woodson. This "stunned" is holy shit, Hoke needs to go unless he rebounds. [Title]

Output: I am stunned


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Last second field goal [Title]

Output: M 29 Utah 27


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 10 hours ago [Body] Last year Gardner had 237 yards of the 585 rushing in the first 3 games. And it was roughly 50% against ND and 60% against Akron. This year he has 39 out of the 726. [Title]

Output: Good point


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 10 hours ago [Body] Last year we had 585 yards rushing in the first 3 games against similar competition (CMU, ND, Akron). So we are up over 20%. But it will be interesting if we can run the ball against tougher defensive teams. 20% better against MSU and PSU doesn't make much difference. [Title]

Output: We are definitely doing better


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 2 days ago [Body] At Washington is one Home against Washington is two. Even these werent on the timeframe of his original schedule of end of week. [Title]

Output: You have to use Brandon marketing math


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 4 days ago [Body] We are 9-9-1 in Notre Dame Stadium. We lead the modern "renewal" of the series 15-14-1. Win this game and we have a winning record in their stadium and win the modern series. Lose it and we tie the modern series and have a losing record in their stadium. We need to win. [Title]

Output: How about


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 3 days ago [Body] More interesting than the A & M - SC game blowout. [Title]

Output: Love Thursday night content from Brian


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 2 days ago [Body] He had a good career at M. But he was more of the game manager type quarterback that sat in the pocket. Denard was just all around spectacular, a highlight clip machine. [Title]

Output: Henne led us to our last B1G Title


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 6 days ago [Body] And I am only 30 miles from Ann Arbor. [Title]

Output: Nothing for me


Input: [Date] 50 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Seems like they would be very familiar with the play calling. [Title]

Output: Does the defense have a bit of an advantage in a scrimmage?


Input: [Date] 50 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Well put. [Title]

Output: I agree with thadmattasgoblin.


Input: [Date] 50 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I would think we would need to add home teams in the odds years when we have 4 home conference games. The 2018 schedule is actually pretty good. Nebraska, Wisconsin, Penn State and Arkansas at home- those are some decent teams. Then SMU, Indiana and Maryland. Whereas right now for 2019, we only have Iowa, Rutgers, State and Ohio at home. While we have our two rivals, with at Arkansas lined up, we need two more home games. [Title]

Output: We have 5 home conference games in even years


Input: [Date] 50 weeks 4 days ago [Body] We did play at UConn and I think their stadium was pretty small. [Title]

Output: although


Input: [Date] 50 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Be nice to have a big home game against a real marque program like USC or Texas in 2019 and 2021 with the road dates in 2018 and 2020. [Title]

Output: so it could be as early as 2018


Input: [Date] 1 year 5 days ago [Body] I think one of those will be at Yost. M played twice at Munn last year and only once at Yost. That generally rotates as Joe Louis is considered neutral site. I was hoping it was TBA because one would be at M stadium. [Title]

Output: MSU hockey TBA's


Input: [Date] 1 year 7 weeks ago [Body] From Griffin Claw Brewing Company. They have some great brews. I really like the Rojo Red. Norm's Raggedy Ass IPA is a good one too. [Title]

Output: Grand Trunk Bohemian Pilsner


Input: [Date] 1 year 10 weeks ago [Body] I would think the coaches could evaluate any potential character issues. But I don't want to see another season like 2008 when Nick Sheridan is starting or even 2012 when Bellomy has to go in against Nebraska. The more the merrier. [Title]

Output: Moar QBs is good.


Input: [Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Body] 1. Alum 2. 26 seasons 3. 0 4. 2 5. No. [Title]

Output: ticket renewal survey


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] High school senior. Was even better when they won the title when I was a Junior at UM. [Title]

Output: I was inbetween....


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] Conference must have had some real powerhouses. [Title]

Output: Amazing we got 3rd in 92-93 at 15-3.


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] Then I got down voted for starting a "third" one. Maybe different browsers? [Title]

Output: I didn't see one so I started one.


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] Why would he see Borges's play chart? [Title]

Output: Is the Chip Kelly comment real?


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] In 68 and last year? Be interesting to see it from 68 to last year actually. If Ohio ran a lot of plays in 68 under Woody, seems like Bo might have been doing the same in 69. [Title]

Output: Anyone know what Michigan averaged?


Input: [Date] 1 year 24 weeks ago [Body] It would be nice to have an undefeated basketball season! [Title]

Output: Can we just vacate our losses?


Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Body] Any chance you could add a chart for the B1G West? [Title]

Output: Awesome post!


Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Body] I signed up for the text updates and don't have one for Marshall. Everyone else though. [Title]

Output: Marshall's is in?


Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Body] That article is pretty misleading even though factual. San Francisco, Boston and Manhattan are some of the densest places in the US. [Title]

Output: As snarling indicates, Detroit's density is fairly normal


Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Body] Not a fan of the corporate experience nor the lackluster schedule. Plus, the internet makes it a lot easier to get tickets for the games I want. I am still keeping my season hockey tickets but Yost has become a shell of itself with all the corporate seats that are empty. [Title]

Output: After 26 years, I am not renewing


Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Body] You only stay on top of the world for so long. [Title]

Output: I agree


Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Body] That range can be used all year! [Title]

Output: Good point


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] Would this imply that teams like large full stadiums should have a better home field advantage than teams with small/emptier stadiums. Have these studies looked at that? [Title]

Output: Is the referree behavior influenced by the crowd essentially?


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] You were our offensive coordinator for one of our most successful seasons in the BCS era which concluded with a Sugar Bowl win! [Title]

Output: Thanks Coach Borges!


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] Is there some ap you have? I just use the standard site. [Title]

Output: I just up voted on my iPad....


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] Makes me wonder if Brandon foreced the issue for that very reason. I am okay with it, let's use Michigan's resources to be the best! [Title]

Output: I could see that being a big part of this.


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] Another 7-6 season and I think the Hoke era ends unless there are some extreme cirumstances like Gardner and Morris being hurt most of the season or 6 losses by a total of 9 points or something. I think he is on the seat at 8-5 honestly. Three mediocre seasons in a row sound pretty bad. Consider our history starting with Bo. Over the last 45 years, Michigan has lost 5 or more games 7 seasons. Once by Bo in 1984. Once by Carr in 2005. Three by RR (2008-2010) and now two by Hoke (2012-2013). I think Hoke needs to go 9-4. It's his fourth season at the helm, the team is mainly his guys. The season sets up well in that while your 3 rivalry games are all on the road, you are probably favored to win your other 9. [Title]

Output: I am with you.


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] Just kidding. I understand your point but I took it to mean that he intended to bring them back but that maybe he would lose 1 to a promotion at another program. Hard to believe he anticipated bringing Borges back. [Title]

Output: Well was it 900 or countless times?


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] But you may be right. [Title]

Output: That doesn't seem like a positive trait.


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] Or did I imagine that. I wonder if this is Brandon forcing the issue. [Title]

Output: Didn't Hoke say he was retaining his staff?


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] Not sure on BBall. [Title]

Output: We beat them in football in 2000 in Columbus


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] i think we will be underdogs for sure in the 3 road games against our rivals. As for Notre Dame, I don't think we usually beat ND on the road. We have lost 2 of our last 3 on the road there and 5 of the last 7 on the road there. I think we go 8-4 or 9-3. [Title]

Output: I would think Vegas would have the over/under at 8.5


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] People thought that after the 87 season. I was a student and the talk was how the game passed Bo by and MSU was the new power. Well then Michigan won 5 straight Big Ten titles (4 outright) and that nonsense was put to bed. [Title]

Output: It's not new


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] Oklahoma played LSU for the national title in 2003 but did not win the Big 12. Alabama beat LSU for the national title in 2011 but did not even win the SEC West. I also think Nebraska may have not won the Big 12 in 2001 when they played Miami for the national title. [Title]

Output: It could have happened.


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] Bo always focused on B1G titles because it was in your control whereas the National Title was in the hands of the voters. I don't think this is why there is a difference in level of success this season. [Title]

Output: I think Hoke was trying to appease the old timers


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] Anthony Thomas had the yards for a first down and could have just kneeled down. But instead he kept going to try and get a TD. A Northwestern defender caught him and forced a fumble. Northwestern then scored to beat Michigan 54-51. If Thomas had just taken a knee past the sticks, it would have been victory formation time. [Title]

Output: A crappy variation of this occurred in 2000.


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] The AP writers are not required to vote for the winner of the BCS Title game. [Title]

Output: Not true.


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] Oklahoma was undefeated but then lost big in the Big 12 championship game (35-7). Somehow in the computers, they were still ranked high enough to play in the BCS game. All 3 teams had 1 loss. USC, despite being ranked #1 in both human polls, was left out. LSU beat Oklahoma 21-14 to take the BCS Title whereas USC beat Michigan 28-14 to take the AP Poll. [Title]

Output: Mr. Miggle is correct


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] Might have gotten to Cook [Title]

Output: 93 gave up on the pass play.


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] Crazy [Title]

Output: How lucky was that?


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] Stanford not really getting much for their yardage [Title]

Output: It's still only 7-0


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] Looked easy as well. [Title]

Output: Well they out scored us in the first 3:44


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] I went Saturday and had a similar experience to the author except we watched the second period in the in stadium bar. The only thing that could top this would be putting it in the middle of Michigan Intenational Speedway. [Title]

Output: It was an awful venue


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] What names were named? [Title]

Output: What names were named?


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] They only beat 3 teams with a winning record all year (9-4 Louisana Lafayette, 7-5 Texas Tech and 7-6 Michigan). There other wins were against two 4-8 teams, two 3-9 teams and a 1-11 team. They were a pretty mediocre team. [Title]

Output: I dont know if KSU was better than their record.


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] While it is popular to bash Borges, the defense regressed mightily this year. Year Avg Yards Allowed Avg Points Allowed 2013 367 26.5 2012 320 19.9 2011 322 17.4 [Title]

Output: I think the defense shares responsibility here


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] Illinois finished 7-6 in 2011. I do believe this is the only one though. [Title]

Output: Hoke has beaten at least one over .500 team on the road


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] Round 1 - FSU vs Baylor and SEC rematch. [Title]

Output: In that case


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] If the 4 team playoff had started already, seems like this would be more controversial than the current system. Florida State and Auburn would be locks. But then you have the other power conference winners- Stanford, Michigan State and Baylor competing with Alabama for 2 spots. [Title]

Output: Who would the Committee have selected this year?


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] That would be three 5 or more loss seasons in a row with no sign of progress. Our schedule has 3 tough games, all of our rivals on the road. Otherwise, we will be favored in our other 9 games. I think we go 9-3. [Title]

Output: 7-5 would be unacceptable to me.


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] Given the schedule, that seems about right although I could see winning one of the tough 3. On the flip side, we have a really good shot at winning all of our home games next year. But I see a 9-3 season for 2014. Then in 2015, we edge up to 10-2 (losing at Utah and PSU), but win the B1G East and the B1G. [Title]

Output: History would say 2-3


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] I feel it would be equivalent. [Title]

Output: Don - do you think it would be bigger than the 96 upset?


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] No one wants to see a bunch of clearly articulated facts pointing to a loss! Why don't you white out the words and just add a few more pictures to balance it out..... [Title]

Output: Come on Magnus


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] We upset Ohio each time 31-23 and 13-9. The 1996 season was very similar to this one. The Buckeyes were blowing people out, undefeated, 10-0, and ranked #2. Meanwhile we were 7-3 with a solid defense and an anemic offense under 2nd year OC Fred Jackson (Fred said our offense was like the speed of light but faster and like Atlas but stronger......). We had even lost at Purdue 9-3. Yet the defense kept us in the game and we rebounded from a 9-0 deficit at the half. Michigan 20, Ohio 17 [Title]

Output: Mattison was our DC in 1995 and 1996


Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Body] Leading 10-7 with under 2 minutes to go, they just needed to run out the clock. I actually think they could have just taken a knee but they chose to plunge into the line with their back, Hylant Hickson. He of course fumbled and Jeff George drove Illinois for a TD and the win. It's actually a pet peeve of mine when coaches decide to run between the tackles when they could just take a knee. You still see it quite often. At the end of the first half, maybe the logic is that you could break a big run but it seems like the risk of fumbling and giving up points is greater than ripping off a 60+ yard run on the last play of the half. But you see it at the end of games as well. We may have even been able to just take a knee against Indiana this year at the end when Fitz rumbled for the TD but not sure. [Title]

Output: Their 89 game against Illinois was a classic


Input: [Date] 1 year 40 weeks ago [Body] 5-4-1 vs Woody 4-5 vs Bruce 2-0 vs Cooper [Title]

Output: Bo


Input: [Date] 1 year 40 weeks ago [Body] Any chance you could add Notre Dame and maybe the other 3 teams we played. Would be interesting to see where they fall compared to who we still have to play. [Title]

Output: Like the chart.


Input: [Date] 1 year 40 weeks ago [Body] Bo gave up 40 to Missouri his first year and never gave up 40 or more again. [Title]

Output: Moeller was the coach in 1991


Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Body] The 1995 5-0 Purdue game in the rain/sleet was never more than 75% full for example. I was there and stayed to the end. It was cool actually, I just followed the line of scrimmage in about row 20 for the 4th quarter. Couldn't have been more than 25,000 there at the end. [Title]

Output: Maybe it's supposed to be but it's not.


Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Body] Hoke is 24-8 as a coach. He has a Sugar Bowl win. Hard to crucify him over 1 loss. Plus, look at all the other top teams losing this year and every year in college football. Just this week, #5 Stanford at Utah, #8 Louisville at home against UCF. [Title]

Output: This board is extremely fragile as of late.


Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Body] In that mid 70s game, was it not a sellout? [Title]

Output: I think they announce the higher of ticket sales or actual.


Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Body] Wile makes one? We go for 2 after all 3 TDs? We miss all extra points after 4 TDs? [Title]

Output: How do you get 30 with Gibbons 2-2?


Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Body] Hoke to 19-0 at home! [Title]

Output: 42-28 Michigan


Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Body] Borges doesnt seem to make in-game adjustments very well. It is as if the plan was determined earlier and we go with the plan, regardless of how it is working. I will say that our offense is much better than a GERG defense though. Our scoring offense is ranked 22nd right now and while I didnt look it up, I think GERG's defenses were ranked in the 100 range. [Title]

Output: It is frustrating.


Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Body] One question though. How many teams have tried to score a TD with under a minute and 80 yards to go? You mentioned 6 made it. I was wondering what the percentage was. Thanks! [Title]

Output: Great post!


Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Body] Anything seems better. Doesn't Funk report to Borges? Don't see how the O Line issues don' t roll up to him. [Title]

Output: Treadwell


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] It was 4th and 1. I thought we should have gone for it. I would be curious what the Mathlete would think. [Title]

Output: Actually we were on our 45


Input: [Date] 2 years 1 week ago [Body] I remember going there as a kid around when it opened thinking how stupid a really steep big staircase is on a stadium used for winter sports. Olympia had charm like Yost. I understand a pro team needed more than charm, but Joe Louis seemed to miss the boat on everything but more seats. The Palace opened about a decade later and seemed significantly better. [Title]

Output: Totally agree Don.


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Body] Also Bo's Lasting Lessons, I think by John Bacon. 3 and out if you want the Richrod saga. There is also a book by Jon Faulk that is interesting, I can't remember the name. [Title]

Output: Agree with the above on Bo.


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Body] They play ASU this year and next. They also play us this year and next. Not sure how you concluded they replaced us with ASU. [Title]

Output: If you read the article


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Given the new B1G hockey conference and the greatest schedule since I have followed Michigan Hockey (25 seasons, I am old....), I really think there should be more hype. Hopefully, this year's schedule is indicative of future year's as well. [Title]

Output: I was just happy to see a M hockey thread!


Input: [Date] 2 years 12 weeks ago [Body] He worked for some Ohio team. Come to think of it, we hired a guy named Mo that played for that same Ohio team. Those hires worked out pretty well! [Title]

Output: We hired a guy named Bo once.


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Body] I figured the blue jackets have about 7 fans. Hard to picture Columbus truck drivers yelling Let's Go Blue.....Jackets. [Title]

Output: I am with you.


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Body] They just need to tie in regulation. They are up 3-0 with 1:19 to go and on power play. [Title]

Output: They got it


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Body] They have really come on of late. If Yale can win as the last team in, no reason the Wings can't win as a 7th seed. [Title]

Output: The Wings could do well in the playoffs.


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Body] I think we will be in a position to challenge in the B1G for the title and be a 3-4 seed in the tourney. Likely make the Sweet Sixteen but probably not a Final Four team. Hope I am wrong on the latter part. [Title]

Output: Comparable team to this year


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Body] I don't understand it. But I went to the 2002 ND game (atND) with 3 guys from work and 1 guy wore a Charlie Batch Detroit Lions jersey......... [Title]

Output: There always seems to be outliers every game.


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] Since our win in 1989, the B1G has only 1title, State in 2000. That's pretty bad. During that timespan the ACC, Big East and SEC have quite a few. And it's not just blueboods like Duke, NC and Kentucky although they have 10 in that stretch I believe. Schools like Arkansas, Maryland, UNLV, Arizona, Syracuse each have a title. UConn came out of nowhere and won 3. [Title]

Output: The B1G needs to win National Titles for respect nationwide.


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Body] But I wish more were at home. Due to the Joe game against MSU, only 9 home conference games. Then the 2 Boston games, 2 Tech games and maybe 2 Ferris games is only 15 home games. I count 33 games not counting playoffs. 15 home, 15 away, 3 neutral (Joe and GLI). I guess there probably will still be the lesser games to fill out the home schedule like the exhibition games against a Canada college team and the Under 18 team. Sucks not to have any home playoff games. Still, glad to see the Boston teams and I would guess we will get New Hampshire next year. [Title]

Output: I like the high profile games.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Win the B1G tourney and make the Elite 8 or Make the Final Four Otherwise, this season isnt a success. Tying for 4th regular season is an underachievement so the team has ground to make up. [Title]

Output: Either


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Body] Even better than the old Norris. Getting Boston, Montreal and Toronto is well worth losing Chicago. I agree that it sucks for Chicago. [Title]

Output: This is great for Detroit


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] But I think it will be hard to find a pair for $20. The ticket spreadsheet is under MGoBoard up top on this site. I have 4 at face of $20 each for sale for the Saturday Ferris State game. [Title]

Output: You could keep checking the ticket spreadsheet.


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Does the below quote mean its huge that he got his redshirt or does it mean it is huge if he gets his redshirt? Devin Gardner getting his redshirt is huge not just for the team as a whole, but also Morris's development. [Title]

Output: Gardner question


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Body] 5 for sure wins: CMU, Akron, @UConn, Indiana, Minn 8 losable games: ND, @MSU, @PSU, @NW, @Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio, Bowl game. I think we lose 2 road games, a home game and the bowl game. Under Hoke we are 14-0 at home, but only 5-7 road/neutral site. [Title]

Output: 9-4


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Body] For all the hype that Harbaugh and Morris get, the offense is what held that team back. [Title]

Output: That 85 team had an incredible defense


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Body] Let Illitch or Gilbert buy it. I think there would be better results. The Fords are the one constant through the 50+ year debacle. [Title]

Output: I wish the Fords would sell the team


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] Very interesting. I find it reassuring to see statistics detail out that ND and Ohio are not as good as their records. Fortunately Ohio is on probation so we don't have to see the two lucky teams play for the national title. [Title]

Output: Great post


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Looks like I will just go to 20 as an Alumnus. [Title]

Output: Thanks


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Also, right now I get 10 points as I have 2 degrees from Michigan. Will I get 40 or just 20 now? [Title]

Output: What is the source of this news?


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] We go to most games and she tends to notice anything other than the game itself! [Title]

Output: My wife claims they were new.


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] I know this doesn't impact the record but was Pat White a 4 year starter? [Title]

Output: Out of curiosity


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Body] I would think the team with the jug would retain the jug in a tie. [Title]

Output: Ties


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Body] 652 yards of total offense for both teams 401 for Michigan and 251 for Minnesota [Title]

Output: M 26 Minn 10


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Body] I never thought I would say this but if Bama loses to say LSU and Oregon loses to someone, it's ND vs. K State for the national title. I could see ND winning that game unfortunately. [Title]

Output: It gets worse if Bama loses


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Hoke didn't have Mattison there. Obviously those are weaker programs but did they have strong defenses? I wonder how much is Mattison and how much is Hoke? [Title]

Output: How was San Diego St's and Ball St's defense?


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] That just comes with the territory at being at the richest football program in the country. I bet he likes all the money that leads to better facilities and all the exposure that leads to better recruits. I agree with the posters above, he is just making excuses for a shoddy defense which has put them out of the Big 12 race midway through October. [Title]

Output: Mack Brown might not like it but


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Thanks for this and the other content you have created. [Title]

Output: Nice post


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] It started before the game was over as I was in the middle of the field and looked up to see 6 seconds still on the clock. Michael Taylor had just taken a knee. I remember thinking how big he looked in pads and helmet compared to the class I had with him. We didnt know it but that was Bo's last game as a coach in M Stadium. Clinched the Big 10 outright. I think the score was 28-18. [Title]

Output: Field rush in 1989 after Ohio game


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Hard to judge a guy when he is outside his expertise. But I agree there is concern. I have seen Auburn's undefeated team referenced as a Borges credential but in reality their offense wasn't very good that year and he was ultimately canned. [Title]

Output: I think you need to see how he does in a pro style offense.


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Is that on Mattison? Or is that a special teams coach? That was obviously a huge turning point if it doesn't succeed. I am amazed that we were not prepared there. [Title]

Output: A thread hijack but who is responsible for the fake FG working?


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] It is somewhat infrequent that we don't score TDs historically and it has now happened twice this year. We have score only 32 points total against the 3 top defenses we have faced. Fortunately, we don't really face anymore top defenses this year (except maybe in the bowl). [Title]

Output: It's kind of troubling


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] The crowd did rush the field. It was packed after the game. I think a lot of Michigan fans wanted to beat Sparty pretty bad. Several vehemently disagreed with me when I said the Nebraska game is more important. Hopefully, everyone follows Hoke's lead and we focus on the B1G title and not Sparty from now on. [Title]

Output: Well,


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Body] I always thought he just took the output of some computer model. Does he? Or does he just pick weird scores? [Title]

Output: Brian's weird scores


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Body] So the little brother thing is really a good fit in our family. [Title]

Output: My little brother actually went to State


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Go Blue, win #900! [Title]

Output: M 20 S 10


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Rushing yards of 151 [Title]

Output: M 14 S 3


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Body] I agree with Frank Murphy that 11 is pretty odd and 29 isnt really that common. Last week you picked 32-18 I think. Do you have some sort of model that is spitting out a number? [Title]

Output: why the odd picks lately?


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Body] M 49-0 [Title]

Output: M 49-0


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Body] You can have my 4 tickets for tonights exhibition game against Windsor for free. I couldnt find anyone that wanted them. I also have available 4 tickets for this Friday against RIT and next Friday against Bentley. Face is $20 each but I am willing to consider any offer. [Title]

Output: If you want to pick them up in Southfield


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] About 5 weeks ago you posted: "My Top10: 1.Oklahoma 2.Oregon 3.Texas 4.Alabama 5.Georgia 6.USC 7.Ohio 8.Michigan 9.ND 10.LSU". 7 still undefeated, OU and USC with a loss and M with 2 losses. What does your model show now for a Top 10? What would Michigan's rank be? Thanks for your great posts btw. [Title]

Output: How do you feel about your original top 10?


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] I believe they have the second most wins in football, just ahead of ND. Texas is deep in tradition, a solid academic school, has a huge following. They also just dropped Texas A& M, a long time rival, so maybe they could work us in. We are 0-1 lifetime against them so it would be nice to get another crack at them. [Title]

Output: Texas is the best choice.


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] While way less fun as a fan, playing cupcakes is solid way to increase the chances of getting into the BCS championship game/playoff. Once the 4 team playoff starts, an undefeated B1G champion will get a spot every time. [Title]

Output: Unfortunately, I agree


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] My recollection is that when Canham agreed with ND to resume the series in the late 70's, he agreed to an extra game in South Bend provided that the home team got to keep the majority (maybe all?) of the gate revenue. It was due to the disparity in Stadium size as Michigan Stadium was 100,000+ and ND Stadium was around 60,000. I do not believe that the current arrangement treats the gate revenue this way but my guess is that once you got through the original contract, the next series started in Ann Arbor so it should end in South Bend. But I don't have a link or anything so as my intro said, I could be wrong. [Title]

Output: I could be wrong but


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Tickets are available for quite a few games, including against Miami (ranked #9). [Title]

Output: see the ticket spreadsheet up on MGoBoard


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Its not like just one person is to blame. The whole team is too blame. Denard executed poorly. Borges got too creative. The receivers didnt get much separation. No one really did anything exceptional. Even the defense, who played great all game, couldnt make a stop when they had to. I have confidence that they learn from this and move forward. While it would have been great to beat our rival, winning the B1G is really what matters given that after the Alabama debacle, any shot of national honors was out the window. [Title]

Output: Why are we arguing who is the blame?


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] I blame The Knowledge. He predicted the win and it didnt happen. Is this another alter universe dimension problem? [Title]

Output: You guys are all wrong


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] I just don't see how the B1G champion beats USC/Oregon/Stanford. [Title]

Output: Does anyone thing the B1G can win the Rose Bowl?


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] I feel much better about Mattison and our defense. I question Borges more and more. Hard to understand 1st and goal twice from the 10 in the first quarter and we ran a sweep to Touisant, two passes by Denard and a pass by Vincent Smith. I don't feel like he puts Denard in the best position to succeed. B1G season will be interesting. Who will be the lamb for the PAC 12? [Title]

Output: Mixed


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Or Pic? [Title]

Output: Link?


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Body] 03 or 07? [Title]

Output: Which time?


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Seriously Name one person that vacations in Georgia? Savannah is it, and the reality is it's the only thing in Georgia to stop and see... Athens, yes, because everyone wants to live in the middle of the deep south 4hrs from a beach, 105 degrees, 95% Humidity and then at night it's still 85 degress and now 99% humidity. Oh and it gets better, when you walk outside, your instantly covered in sweat, not the good kind because it's so humid it forms a layer of slime on you. Georgia, cause everyone loves having to stay inside all day in the summer cause it's a 1000 degrees and you can't cool down cause your pool is 95 degrees..........Yeah, been there and as I said one place to visit and that's it. [Title]

Output: everyone loves 100 degrees and 95% humidity in june too..


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Nussmeier is the new OC at Florida, for a new staff and most recruits are quite familiar with the Alabama run game's dominance under Nussmeier as OC so there is no doubt that was sold to him. Add to that, our staff already has 3 rb commits even if two of them end up at fb ..... that's crowded for one class alone without adding a 4th rb. [Title]

Output: Not surprising


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Remove Helmets and start taking money out of players pockets for leading with their heads. By removing money I mean, suspension for intentional helmet hits, offensive players too for droping their heads for hits. And not the same as the drug policy but after so many personal fouls for helmet to helmet up the suspension to 2 games no pay. Then force players to sit for caused concussions resulting from an intentional helmet to helmet hit, ie a caused concussion equals 2 games for the offending player. Also, get even more strict on the launch hits. I still see a number that aren't called. It's the only way to fix the issue. The other thing, any failed ped tests should limit liability for this. I still say believe players are juiced and it's a major cause for the severity of injuries, namely head injuries in football. Players want the nfl to pay for head injuries then they should subject themselves to even more ped testing. [Title]

Output: Remove Helmets


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Imho officiating would have a lot to do with Kentucky losing. Meaning this team just bullies opponents inside. So, unless we get a crew that is calling a tight game against a solid shooting opponent like Duke, Virginia, Wisconsin, Arizona and maybe a couple others, Kentucky is going to roll this tournament. Kansas, being the next best team in that bracket is weak. They don't play consistent ball at all and do not have a player capable of taking over a game against Kentucky. If they make it at all. ND doesn't have the size to stay with kentucky so they get rolled if they make it. By bracket, Kentucky is automatically in the final 4, so imho it's a 2 game tournament for Kentucky. [Title]

Output: kentucky...vs the field, take kentucky


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Body] He would sell the field to a donor who believes the grass is Tradition... Well, in that case he should have sold the hs level scoreboard too! [Title]

Output: If Swarbrick were really genius


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Body] The spring game which is realy a glorified practice is not the place to determine anything about the 2014 team. Talk to anyone that has attended an actual practice to tell you the story rather than reading something from someone who never attended any of the practices. Don't take too much out of spring because after spring summer workouts and fall camp you will then find out who has put the time in all off season. Spring you get some info on what is going on. Best news out of spring is the dline looks far better as a group right now and the players fitting the responsibilities of the 4-3 over better has payed off for them. So, we will wait till the first game of the season and see how that matches up. O Line has been hit/miss but will wait and see again. [Title]

Output: The spring game/practice


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] Funny and intense. Very good technically and demands those guys block. Should see blocking video they had of gallon, he embarrassed a lot of corners and safeties thinking they would take him. Finally happy about where the wr corp is skill wise compared to the lats 6yrs... [Title]

Output: Heck is a great coach


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] In sports you earn/win your respect. Florida is getting respect due to how they are playing and the fact their coach has to titles. They have done it. Ky is getting respect because the program is tops in bball, and they just won a title 2yrs ago and have top talent now, just very young and you see them growing up infront of us this tournament and the sec tournament. Michigan, hasn't seen a ton of respect this tournament namely becuase the 3 stars from last yr's run are either in the nba, or injured now, mcgary! So looking at our games agianst msu and wisconsin it's obvious our team can be pushed inside. Hence, tennessee being the popular pick due to their length at the perimeter and strength of their inside game. Msu, getting a ton of respect now getting their top inside players back and msu looking like an izzo team again. Like ky, they are playing very well and the team has taken big steps the last few weeks. Hence they became the hot pick to win it all. Wisconsin, has beaten 2 teams nobody thought they actually would given the matchups. Big10 just earned a ton of respect all 3 beating teams that were considered tough matchups for each team. All 3 into the elite 8! They won the nations respect as a conference. I'll say this, it doesn't matter who wins the national title as far as conference strength is concerned. I never got that arguement... alabama wins in football to me has no bearing. Fsu won it in football this yr and doesn't remotely convince me that the acc was the best. This yr sec 0-2 in bcs games and acc is 2-0 with the national title...who here thinks the acc is a better football conference? Same in basketball... Florida could win the tournament or kentucky, wouldn't remotely convince me the sec is a better bball conference than big10, big12, acc or pac12! [Title]

Output: Win respect


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] Never heard of CJ's, right now way to many craft brews out to try them all. Being from Cincy I am trying to get through all the local breweries that have popped up as well as some of the top national craft brews. Bells, Centennial, 3 Floyds, Michigan is well represented nationally..., I have heard there are a few more to try that arent national. Cincinnati has, Madtree, 50 west, Rivertown, Rinegheist, Mt. Carmel and a few others that are just excellent breweries! Still, I always find my way back to Sam Adams Boston Lager and Guiness....... [Title]

Output: Tried centennial, like two hearted much better


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] All I can tell you is I have been to spring practice with maizeman, know him and he does work for the athletic department which is how he is in. He expresses his views from what he see's. Coachbt, he is a hs coach from the toledo area that attends every coaches clinic and also gets to attend a couple practices as a result. Eroc, knows maizeman and has gone to many practices via maizman. They all have developed relationships within the athletic department. I have met many other posters that attend the coaches clinic, that have ties to the athletic department via friendships of ad employees, former players, coaches and boosters. Know a couple that are big boosters. Am I an insider, not remotely. But as I stated last yr I did go to a couple practices with maizeman and know very well he has access to the staff, players and practices as it isn't a claim it is a fact. The guys that want to insult my writing, wgaf what you think, I shared something I have actually seen, know and witnessed. You, you bitch and complain about others who shared and wasn't trying to charge anyone money for doing so. So, wtf ever [Title]

Output: Me, nobody, maize man, not sure,


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] I stated an undefeated osu should have been in over a 1 loss sec team. That I stated, that I believe of any bcs team. If you are going to post my thoughts at least know them. I stated the sec is over rated in that 1 loss sec teams deserve to be in the title game over undefeated teams. Get your head out of your tail about my thoughts. [Title]

Output: You don't know what I thought!


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] And you guys insult their writing and analysis. Kind if does... reeealllyl.... I went to spring practice last yr with maizeman. He does have access. The two practices I saw last yr, Ross was playing awesome and was the best defensive player on the field. I got to see Countess doing drills and knew last yr was going to be rough as a man corner for him. Offense, Darboh and Chesson looked better than Funchess....and you didn't see Gallon do anything. Jake Ryan was on crutches and he was everywhere encouraging the defense and lbers.... So, while you all accuse them of knowing nothing I can vouch for them not that it means anything as I don't personally know any of you all. But, everything i saw fit to what happened last season. Run game sucked, interior oline just wasn't what I thought it would be and the dt's were a work in progress. Honestly last season I was fooled by the nd game though. I thought they would lose that game and end up with 10 wins losing to either Osu or Nw as the other loss opposite nd. I thought nd was better than what they showed in that game. Ross was not close to the player he showed in spring, Darboh's injury really hurt, oline burzynski's injury really hurt. Bosch was the best technically of all the tr fr and rs fr oline, however Braden was physiclaly awesome and starting at LG all spring. That was last yr... So, reports on spring practices remember, they are practicing against their own team and get used to the calls of the other side of the ball and the player infront of them. So, you have to take it with a grain of salt and realize the reports are just that. Mixed opinions of what they see. I was at practice and had some disagreement maizeman's analysis. But that is also why I try to put what coach bt says along with maizeman and come up with what's in the middle. Both attend practices, both know the coaching staff far more than you guys would like to admit. So sit back, enjoy your beer threads, btw, bells two harted, madtree gnarly brown and guiness are still the best beers on the planet! [Title]

Output: and you guys insult their writing…..


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Body] All of them said the same things. Coaches push them to get better, if you only were bigger, if you were just a bit stronger if you were quicker, faster.... Always pushed them and compared to best players on the team. Natural right... the message would be clear, get better or go elsewhere... it's up to you... They would make sure they knew well in advance of testing. Don't fail the tests, we don't want any athlete failing tests... this is when the test is... don't fail the tests.. continually repeated over and over adnauseum. They would also say, you could tell who was and who wasn't. Abnormal weight gain is not going from hs s&c to college elite s&c. Normal weight gain is about 15lbs of muscle over 1yr period of time. 20 can happen but he had to work out a whole heck of a lot more than just the last 4 months from january through spring ball!!! Guys putting on weight is normal, 25+ lbs of ripped shredded weight and he is juiced! But there are a lot more ped's than just testosterone. Hgh, blood doping for endurance, beta blockers for focus that many qb's will use, students will use... which I have no problem with.. but they all use them. [Title]

Output: Have known a few d1 players that used.


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] All that said, it doesn't matter urban was never going to suspend any other player further! Either the big ten was going to, uhmm nope, or it wasn't happening so we all knew it wasn't happening. [Title]

Output: What desmond said is right..


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] Is the increase for more support staff needed? I wouldn't think everyone just received a 62% pay increase though some may have been given a pay increase to match the going rate of their position. In that case it is needed... for any and all. For me the questions are.. Is the ad financially living within the budgets set? Are they making more money than they are spending? Are building for the success of the athletic programs now and in the future? And last, with the expansion of the athletic campus and all the related projects have they been able to meet the financial burden of those projects and continue to sustain for the future. The obvious to that is yes. It has to continue as well. I am sure that Brandon and company see what concerns the donors/alumni/ticket holders have. I would bet they will be quick to back off it they reach the tipping point. Something was posted on another board via an alumni function last spring where Dave Brandon spoke. At length he spoke about the goals of winning the bigten, bcs and national title in football as the best ways to increase revenue and the last one by far has the biggest impact. He cited the effect it had on other universities that have won football national championships and how much it increased cash flow into the athletic department of those schools. So, that is the goal..... [Title]

Output: ad ...


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] Our school hosted them, allowed them field passes for the game which is impossible to get and got face time with Hoke on the day of the game. The family, osu fans/grads yeah they could have taken the osu hats off but who cares about that to be honest. imho it showed michigan is above all that! [Title]

Output: Consider, Michigan hosted them


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] Such a huge win and those players all came up big! Rewatching that game I forgot how beat up the team was. LT Backus didn't play, adami was playing injured and quite immobile. Howard was out, streets was battling a hammy. Forgot all about that........ Reminds me of how good they were to keep overcoming everything. On offense, overcame some bad turnovers and field position the 2nd half. Got enough points with limited offense and still won. Defense just took over that game! [Title]

Output: Remember that game...


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Far too many athletic depts have done this and pro teams as well...... A friend of mine a 20yr season ticket holder for the bengals of all teams had good seats and paid the psl when they built pbs in cincy. He paid that psl and then got moved to lesser seats only to find the corperate buyers were buying blocks of good seats and he got moved as a result...add to that, they didn't refund the difference in the psl they charged to the rate for the seats he was given. I haven't heard michigan do this to season ticket holders yet so long as they paid the donation...however it has been done I am sure. Really sucks..... [Title]

Output: steveinpa


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] who are illogical anyway.............................that would have been the response of many fanbases around the country no matter the university. Heck, athletes get accused of rape and I see message board posters saying the girl deserved it, led him on, what ever else.........you get alot of fair responses...........my response always is, lets wait to find out what actually happened, if he did it, by all means put him in prison and let the legal system handle it.....if he didn't do it, lets not assassinate his character, but lets not do that till we find out. [Title]

Output: you are talking about fans


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] You used ohio st... so lets review... Ncaa investigates and there is clear evidence that the Head coach lied, covered up student athletes actions to keep them eligible to win more football games to make a bcs bowl or bcs championship game. Ncaa, did they follow their own by laws to punish ohio st? No, they let ohio st walk with minimal penalty as the head coach clearly broke the rules. What did ohio st do, they fired the head coach and said this is all on him. Ncaa what did they do, they gave minimal punishment and didn't at all charge ohio st with the crime of lack of institutional control as defined by a coach knowing about extra benefits and hiding them. No, they got minor charges a few scholarships and a 1 year bowl ban. So, now let me add, North Carolina with proven academic fraud, Auburn had a players family take nearly $200,000 that we know and the ncaa dismissed the investigation, Oregon paying people to send recruits to their school, Miami fl and that fiasco and several more I am forgetting to mention............................... The ncaa cannot even keep it's own house clean and yet you and everyone else thinks it's okay for them to punish pennst for something that didn't involve a single student athlete, or coach at the university. Now, before you rip me, Sandusky was not a football coach when the known incident happened. Now, the ncaa jumping in on this is like the department of education going and grabbing a drug dealer and stealing, ie fining him every dime he has because he sold drugs on school grounds before the fbi could arrest him.............it isn't their jurisdiction no matter the crime commited. Even worse it was obvious what the ncaa's motive was, and it sure as heck wasn't to do the right thing. The right thing Pennst, should have settled immediately with all victims and offered every victim full tuition education or pay off all student loans for those who already had grown and gone to college. Pennst should have offered to pay for or repay all expenses for therapy incurred to the victims. IE, pennst needs to make it right for the victims completely, that is the right thing to do. Ncaa, had no business in this, they had no intention of doing any thing right for the victims and their fighting with the state of pa over the 60million proves I am right. They thought they had a money grab and I am glad the state of pa shoved that right up the ncaa's arse and said no, that money will stay in state and go to childrens charities. Pennst the unveristy should pay a price, but rather it's football or not idk, I first and foremost believe the punishment should have come from the dept of education and dept of justice to put away those responsible and then put down further punishment on the university as they saw fit. [Title]

Output: I somewhat agree here but....


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] But I thik it's retarded to punish the football program and fanbase, alumni and everyone else involved with football or the university that had zip to do with this, which is everyone outside of the few people that actually knew and 4 in charge that could have done something about it. The rioting that is the football culture of not wanting to believe the icon had something to do with covering it up. A case, although extremely weak that paterno reported it to superiors is true but he also was proven to have influenced not reporting it to 2nd mile and to the state police and arresting sandusky......so that blows that out of the water. My opinion of Joepa is forever changed as his rep was built on great character the do it right kind of person to lead young men. That's gone, but it doesn't mean the university shouldn't be able to move on and build what should have been. Pennst deserves punishment and has got that punishment from the ncaa, I just don't think the ncaa had any business or place doing it. IE, they went to clean pennst's house and they can't even clean their own as though they had moral authority. Tell me when the ncaa went to nd, msu or any other campus to investigate sex crimes alleged by athletes? The dept of justice and dept of education are the entities that should have handled this and should have told the ncaa to get out of their way period. On another note, before anyone goes high moral standard about pennst and covering this up, the very reason the laws about reporting sex crimes on any federal funded university, high, middle or elementary school is in the books is because of this very reason. How many times have we heard complaints over the years of colleges sweeping rapes under the rug to keep crime statistics down. That happened at so many places across the country it is disgusting, and just as disgusting as what happened at pennst. Or athletes raping girls and getting away with it and the girls intimidated or forced to leave school for their safety all to protect the program because said player may help them win games. Those are the reasons these laws do exist. But has the ncaa ever investigated one of those that are actually involving student athletes? Never, so a case they had no business in they jumped on for media attention and a 60 million dollar money grab. Yes that money was forced to stay in the state of pa and that was after the state told the ncaa it wasn't allowing that money to go elsewhere as all funds at psu are considered state funds if the university is to pay out money. The ncaa in it's briliance tried to argue it was athletic dept funds not univerisity funds. So you see where their real motive was! [Title]

Output: I don't feel bad for pennst, nor am I crying a river for them


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] From 2002 Pennst, namely the 4 people who allowed it are culpable. Not the 40,000 who had nothing to do with this as they can't do a dang thing about rumor or innuendo, but the people who had real knowlege, Spanier, Shultz, Paterno, McQueary and his dad and one other I am forgetting could have, should have and didn't! They are the ones to be punished, put in prison for a cover up. Punishing the football program and saying the ridiculous things about blowing up the stadium is just retarded. It doesn't do a dang thing to fix what happened or punish the actual cuplprits. As they are the ones who allowed Sandusky to use the brand, facilities and anything else. 60million was only to stay in the state for children after the state of pa said it wasn't leaving and told the ncaa as much. Ncaa tried to fight it, so what does that tell you about their motive. 2002 was a real incident, no more rumor and inuendo. And the people that covered it up need to pay the price, I will always say that. They deserve prison as well, all of them. Just like anyone who knew a Michigan professor was harboring child porn....should pay the price. Not the pennst program that had nothing to do with this. [Title]

Output: I realize my opinion isn't popular that's fine


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Ncaa was way out of bounds to punish PSU as not one single by-law was broken regarding student athletes. Second, Ncaa had zero interest in what was right. They saw a money grab, ie $60 million dollar fine! For what? To go to who, to do what with? Tell me I am wrong cause they sure as heck was not giving a dime of that money to the victims. Not one person of the 4 who knew of the incidents are around at all. NCAA went back to 1998 which was bs because that investigation found nothing and Sandusky was forced to step down. There was nothing anyone could do legally at that point. The legal system coudln't do anything so what was pennst going to do other than what they did at that point. 2002 the McQueary deal, from then on Jopa and company were responsible for covering up for a friend. It had nothing to do with protecting football as the ncaa had no boundary. And if paterno turns in a friend then and the chief of campus police acts, they are hero's for doing the right thing.....and what would have happened to football? Nothing, so stop the bs it was to protect football it was to protect a life long friend by joepa. Pull your heads out of the cloud that the culture of football did this, it was one friend protecting another cause nothing else was on the line. That happens every day in our society across many fronts including criminal. Ncaa is a joke, I hope pennst sues and wins against the ncaa. Now, Pennst deserves to face what ever punishment as a university from the Dept of Education for not reporting this as required by law. But again, why punish anyone and everyone who is not there for something that they didn't do. Who deserves to be punished. Joepa, and the other 3 that covered this. Not the 40,000+students and facualty. Not the football players and coaches that have nothing to do with this. And I read tear down beaver stadium, seriously. Michigan just had a professor with child porn that wasn't immediately reported, uhmmm do you want to destroy the entire university and rip building down by building for this? Cause that is illogical thinking. Oh, Sandusky, lets not forget, he is the criminal and deserves life in prison and everything that goes with that. EIther general population or solitary, idk either way...... [Title]

Output: Ncaa is full of it and needs to be sued!


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Glassgow didn't help chip, push the nt, Miller was beat at the snap by the nt, the de gets upfield and holds contain forcing the play to stay inside. Kalis is lost and doesn't know wtf to do and doesn't block anyone.... If Kalis sets the backside block there is a cutback for Fitz and a good lane there as well. If Glassgow helps chip on the nt and gets the nt flowing without penetration then he can scrape to the lber. If Kalis blocks his lber or finds someone to block there is a cut back. If the TE gets to the de and doesn't let him penetrate the hole to go through is either much bigger or there is room for Fitz to bounce. No matter what, this play was blown up from the snap! This happened all game long! [Title]

Output: just say it


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Players in Husker history! 2 national titles, a 3rd nc game that was a missed fg from winning 3 straight and would have been 3 straight undefeated seasons! There is no doubt he has the ears of the husker fanbase and boosters/alumni! But, Tom Osbourne isn't the head coach and this isn't the days of the husker option attack. Actually, they got rid of Solich 2yrs too early as they could have waited this thing out and they would have been running the Read Option spread game better than anyone! Instead they ditched all of it, all of their old recruing grounds for Callahan! They need a head coach and assistant coaches that have recruiting cache again that can grab texas talent like they used to. Pelini, he could be a dead man walking if they don't compete for a bigten title! [Title]

Output: Frazier was one of the most successfull


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] Lots of brass, lots of music loudly...btw, my wife asked what cartoon music they were playing when they started the nd victory march....I busted out laughing cause she had no idea and was serious. [Title]

Output: Nd's band is what 430 members...


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] Texas will likely be open as will Usc. Also consider Saban's family, they moved from East lansing to baton rouge in 2000, to Miami in 2004 to Alabama in 06/07, I don't think the family wants to move and establish all new relationships right now........with all new unreal expectations in a building process, again. Jmho, Saban has reached the summit of coaching in college and the only thing left is the nfl and he isn't going back. [Title]

Output: No way Saban leaves Bama


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Body] What are their measures though? IMO the measure should be for 3 types of games... #1 Biggest Rival game, what is the atmosphere or what ever the biggest game every year is.... #2 What is the normal atmosphere for a conference game, the avg game say iowa or northwestern, solid opponent. #3 What is it for the gimme games.... is the place dead or are the fans still rocking..... Pennst has the best atmosphere for a big night game, and imho that is best in the country. That said, I think Michigan's night game for ND was better than Osu's big night game for Texas or Usc... that said, Osu has a great atmosphere and nobody can deny that. I will say this, Pennst has the most fun fans in cf, I have been around them for games at Michigan and seen them at Happy Valley and they have a good time. Osu fans are just overall pissy either way... good atmosphere but man they live and die with each individual play... and their games against bad opponents that place is a tomb...and most are. Michigan #1, osu/nd environment is entirely different, namely osu... far more intense for a home game against either of these teams. #2 Very middle of the pack in the bigten for an avg home game...crowd gets loud for 3rd downs and intimidating but why not on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and even 4th down... Seriously... Osu/nd crowd is intense every play, every down....but not for the avg team.... #3 Lets never play eastern again...nobody wants that game and fans barely stand for the victors... I don't care what they say, in 2007 the attendance was not 100,000, I would put it closer to 80,000..........so middle of the pac of bigten teams here as well. Michigan, basically for Big games.... is up with Pennst, and Ohio st for best envirionments....for #2 and 3 avg about #5.... Bigten overall #1 big game environment.. Pennst, Michigan, Ohiost and Nebraska as tops... #2 avg conf opponents Wisconsin, Pennst, Ohio st, Nebraska, Michigan, Iowa in order... #3 Wisconsin, Nebraska, Pennst, Ohio st, Michigan, Iowa.... Jmo but those are the order and it changes based upon opponent... Measureing Pennst's biggest night game to a noon game for michigan against iowa is not a measurement of environment... Otherwise just compare same game situations... [Title]

Output: what is the measure though?


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Body] 2011 was incomplete only because of the state yr. And, I know many will laugh because our team was no where near ready for it....but consider the fact that they were literally a couple plays from being undefeated..........Iowa was quite literally 2 plays... and Msu was the same, quite literally a couple plays.......... None of us would have thought they were ready but...from my perspective at that time it let me put the burden down of the RR era.. Also, I carry nothing from 2004 - 2006 I really didn't. From 2007 though, it felt like an eternity...like being on the ship going down and you can't fix it.....you know you have a life raft and will be fine but you can't fix it.............that was 2007-2010 for me............... [Title]

Output: I just quit carrying that burden....


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Virginia, Vatech, Washington/Wazzu..Oregon/Oregon St, Cal Stanford, zona / asu and others. Best instate though is Bama, Auburn for intensity... but overall I can't think of a great instate with the competitive balance of good great programs. [Title]

Output: others


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Osu alumns felt they had a better team than 6-6, most felt they had a 9 win team and possibly better with Cooper.. So to go 6-6 in year one under tressel and lose to Michigan they were feeling was a step back from Cooper to make things even worse. Wots I heard is tressel was told beat michigan or else. That said, Henson, had he returned Michigan was going to a bcs bowl and a few things gone right could have played Miami in the title game.....though that miami team was sic, I don't know anyone would have wanted to play that team....but Henson, Terrell and Walker ....I would have taken that shot..... [Title]

Output: IIRC, Tressel was out if he didn't beat Michigan


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] I agree with ND not releasing him. But it seems like something else is up, otherwise why sign the loi in february only to want out a few months later. It is good for nd not to let him out of his loi instead sending out the message to all recruits that the school they sign with can do this. Basically, sign with the school you want to play for and make sure you know before you sign. [Title]

Output: Something is wrong about this..jmho


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] This list is ok, but innacurate in many ways. Schofield is at least 2nd team, period. I cannot name 3 right tackles better, I can't name 2 in the bigten right now. James Ross, Imho ends up 1st team. Washington or Pip one ends up 1st team....jmho there as well. Clark / Ojemudia, one of them will be there as well..... and imho Taco ends up fr all american. Darboh / Chesson, one of them ends up 2nd team all bigten! Funchess... ends up 1st team all bigten and by virtue of the receiving core all together, Gardner ends up 1st team all bigten this yr, [Title]

Output: Would rather dominate post season list!


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Guess that gets covered next week.....I get why the Lannisters would seek them out, with oppertunity and all....but Frey wants to marry off children to other houses and the Lannisters promised off 2 and only have 2 of Cersi's kids and one of them promised off already....... Should be fun, but either way, this is leading to an epic war with the dragon queen, lannisters and the other dude now..........and of course the greyjoys are coming back into the mix [Title]

Output: Ok, so what do they get from the lannisters?


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] 2 great teams that should have won their bowl games. 92, not that they lost to washington, and without everit on the field the oline was a mess for that game but still..... defense was on the field all game long... Injuries that yr imho cost a natty title... 07 rosebowl... seriously, that team was alot better than the showing they had. Still kills me to this day how passive Lloyd was in calling the defense...and how they just let sc throw without going after them at all..... 01 Citrusk vs Tennessee......that hurt but mainly cause they couldn't get out of their own way making mistakes and giving the ball back to tennessee....best part of the entire game is elmer fudd fulmer was tring to run up the score and once our defense got it's feet under them, they couldn't move the ball in the air or on the ground! But was too late by then! 11 Outback Bowl vs Miss st... just the way they lost, no fight, no nothing and total beat down by an okay sec team... The best part to that game watching it, I knew the RR era was over...there was no way Brandon was going to keep him around after that debacle....he wanted improvement and wanted to see how his coach could perform and he didn't. Bye bye rich! [Title]

Output: 1992 Rose bowl, 2007 Rose bowl....


Input: [Date] 2 years 12 weeks ago [Body] Recruiting is coaches working their tails off to get into recruits ears, heads and convince them this is the place for them no matter what school they are recruiting for. Nebraska seems like they are way behind in the evaluation period as well not just sending out offers. They have litte buzz in recruiting so they are in trouble. Nebraska used to have the entire state run it's option offense for hs football so they could take walk on's on offense every yr that were tailor made to step in. That allowed them to focus a little heavier on defense in recruiting. Nebraska isn't that far from texas, or certainly no further from texas than alabama is and other sec schools tha regularly recruit Texas....they just have to get out and work it., though Pelini has never been known for being a bigtime recruiter. [Title]

Output: No different than other schools


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Body] Would love to see his bank records from 2010 till now............................as barkley said 200g for newton was a good investment....wonder how much it took in hush money to keep the investment secure.... [Title]

Output: wonder how big his bonus is now?


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] Glenn Mason must be laughin agian...........and they wonder why they are still fledgeling rather then going out and having a plan from the get go.......it is obious they do not.......I wonder if their ad thought he had Smart in the bag and jumped thinking it was happening. [Title]

Output: Minnesota has blown it again.....


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Body] I was a mod on a different site, some would know which...that said it's tough keeping up with sheer volume of posts and checking the boards constantly, keep conversation moving and in a decent direction. Keep the negativity out so the boards are tolerable....and not just some dump hole. I have visited these boards more then in the past and you guys have done a real good job moderating. This board is fun at times with the sarcasm and over the top reactions to stuff posted and as well then just over the top and annoying at others. It's a tough job, unthankfull by many and zero reward is absolutely truth. Good job and when you recharge the batteries may take it up agian.... [Title]

Output: thanks for being a mod


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Body] Home court advantage is a huge deal to teams strengths from what I have watched. So when you play at msu or osu it's going to be a physically played game and refs let more things go. Msu and osu were riding our offensive players and that is something that gets called in a tourney game...... Michigan, Indiana tend to be more offensive and the calles tend to favor that style for these teams when at home. I think it's why pennst got a win, they played our boys tough in a2 physically to nock our boys off their shooting....in happy valley they got away with even more they wouldnt in a2 or in a tourney.. Biggest thing is play aggressive no matter what the refs are calling. Be aggressive offensively since they are an offensive team, and keep the defense active bigtime....The most aggressive team under control gets the calls.........That is why duke seeming owns officials but they play under control but ultra aggresive... [Title]

Output: bigten tourney will get better imo....


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Body] Fact that the school kicked them out means saban just followed what already was directed by the school. Oversigning...well it's roster management and what needs to be addressed isn't the 25 per yr limit but it needs to be 25 plus 3 in a yr or 85 total plus 3... that way if you only have 15 available scholarships and you can't still sign 28 something the sec is still doing. [Title]

Output: bama did the right thing, saban so what...


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Body] But then again, so should Devin and so should many others. Rich made tons of player personel mistakes in his tenure but I think the biggest part of that was his coaching staff. Bruce Tall was a DB coach his entire career and was the DLine coach at Michigan....I had read he attended coaching clinics for coaching dline that spring/summer.. 2008... Shafer and Gibby were the 2 db coaches for that 2008 team and Hop the lber coach...a safeties coach his entire career........ Bruce Tall being the dline coach tells you everything you ever needed to know about RR's tenure. He never adapted or changed and defense starts up front just like offense. If the oline performed just like the dline did, that oline coach would have been fired....Rich protected Tall at dline rather then move him to db coach like he should have the moment Shafer was fired...and took the fall..... [Title]

Output: Big Will should have been a rs


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Body] Career move for motgomery isn't a miss by hoke, and to put that out is a bit foolish imo. It's no secret Montgomery is a very good dline coach or that Michigan can essentially have 3 dline coaches... so I would guess far more comes down to career move, more responsibility. Reconnecting with stoops, also Iowa alumni.. and many other things in it for Montgomery..... Hoke, didn't block it, offered to match compensation and Mongomery still wanted to move on. Most likely our staff hires a olber coach.... rather or not they hire an olber or dline coach for the replacement I am good with Hoke and Mattison selecting assistants...something I think is a great strength of theirs. [Title]

Output: Career move for Montgomery...


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Body] A greyshirt cannot be on campus, workout or practice with the team in the summer or fall...they are not allowed to enroll till the 2nd or winter semester/quarter.....they can't participate in bowl practices either.....so no sec teams cannot do that once they have a kid on campus. [Title]

Output: a grey shirt cannot enroll, workout or practice till the 2nd


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Body] Unless the staff feels he is a top second option should they not land McDowell and a few others at dt.... With Mone already committed I would be suprised if they accpet a commitment quickly before Mcdowell even visits.... No doubt though the staff knows defensive talent so we shall see how it unfolds. I don't think McDowell ends up at DE unless it's SDE...... [Title]

Output: Suprised at the offer..


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] Those 4 didn't report it, they should have, all 4 are paying a huge price for not doing so but have damn near sunk the football program because they didn't do the right thing. Spanier, Schultz and Graham all are more culpable as they didn't answer to Joe, all had the responsibility to report it themselves. Joepa, yeah, he influenced the nonreporting, but the deal is, he answered to them, not the other way around. Mcqueary, at any time could have picked up the phone and called police... [Title]

Output: It's still simple to me...


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Body] Ricardo Miller is transfering to Umass.........That is one....so rather or not any 5th yr player is invited back you can figure one more will leave before fall camp. Some attrition happens... Remember last yr had 25 signed and they still offered 7 walk-ons schollies..... so attrition happens, and keeping close to te 85 number even with a full class is the game these days. [Title]

Output: Guess noone got the update


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Body] Still for plush and pure awesomeness...Texas and Oregon's seem to be tops still...But doesn't matter a weight room is a weight room and as long as you win players come if you win big elite players come. Not a whole lot of care is given to the ameneties....as Usc and Miami's were the worst forever, though I think Miami's is horrible still..... [Title]

Output: Tennessee's new facility far exceeds this...


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Body] Didn't get enough players involved offensively, relied to much on burke. Didn't move well offensively or defensively at times, allowed easy baskets by Zeller. Too many possessions one pass and a shot, no flow, movement kills this...... [Title]

Output: quick takes


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Body] Remember usc had to quit having dinner at Papadikis's restraunt as they always happened to have former players show up and then the second thing they got in trouble for was having a commitment ceremony.... Osu got in trouble for having Chris Carter bump into recruits at osu games .... This happens all the time though........... [Title]

Output: My understanding is it's a violation


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Oline, unless the guy has already been in a solid s&c program it's hard to predict how strong he can get while adding the needed weight.. and is he that type of worker. One reason LTT in this current class was highly rated is he has the athleticism to be elite, but doesn't have the fundamentals, doesn't have near the core strength at all to play for a couple yrs... QB, it's really a position that can be hard to predict. Competitiveness, natural leader, very much the has to be preparing more then anyone else type player. Getting that is so hard...some guys are just better athletically in today's read/spread option run game and start for that reason but the guy that can get the ball where it needs, recognize a defense, blitz, know his routes, route tree vs the coverage and hit it... That's hard to find a really good qb and develope him..... [Title]

Output: Oline then QB


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Body] I would agree with that and part of what Rich was doing was coming to bust up "The Country Club" mentality...and yes, there were players who had that entitlement feeling...it was posted on the interweb message boards all over including mgoblog....scout, rivals all of the boards. But not hiring quality coaches, hiring 4 db coaches instead of hiring the coordinator and letting him build a staff along with his goal for a defense, and not being willing to work with the talent he had and recruit that talent to him cost him year one and ultimately led to year two debacle as well and by then it was pure survival mode. No athletic department, Lloyd Car support, former player support was going to save him from then on out and anyone arguing otherwise has their head burried in the sand. [Title]

Output: Players did feel entitled...


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Body] So lets say they open the bank and give Casteel 800k a year.....Rich still hired 3 other db coaches to run his defense, and you think Casteel would fix that? Not one true dline coach among them. You think it's an accident our 2 most talented position groups on defense Dline, then lber were the most under performing and led to a defense giving up the most points in school history consecutively, yearly for 3 seasons? Oh, Casteel better then Shafer? Yeah....get back to me when you figure that one out. [Title]

Output: You actually think Casteel would have made things different?


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Body] It didn't work. Blame Michigan for not accepting him, rolling out the financial red carpet..oh wait, he got more money for recruiting, got the facilities, got the total treatment to succeed from Michigan. Blame AD Staff and support staff... You mean to tell me they didn't show up to do their jobs every day? You mean to tell me they talked bad about him and didn't support the guy running around like a bull in a china shop saying you guys don't know how to win in football, I do in a place that was very highly successfull for a very long time. Wow, color me crazy... cause if it was that bad, tell me why those support staff people weren't fired? I'm waiting. People outside but former players, coaches and alumni didn't support him? Are you kidding me? How many supported Bo when he walked in the door and turned the world upside down with what was considered a good team for Bump coming back? Nobody except his AD until he beat ohio st....... Rich... He hired 4 db coaches to run the defense. Fired all of Lloyd's assistants (his right), assasination style...which burnt alot of bridges immediately, his right though..., We saw tons of players leave, 36 by my count that first yr total, but Rich kept saying we will win with them and we are going to install our system now and not worry about who is here. He put out the single worst defense in school history. He put out the lowest win total in a 12 game season in school history..........., it was that bad.... Rich ran off the players he needed to win, his recruiting never took shape as half of his classes were having about 30% never make it in or gone by the end of their freshman year. So, you can blame anything you want on Michigan, but the fact is, just like Bo, the tools were there, were given to Rich and he didn't get it done. Had Rich worked harder to endear himself to everyone as they claimed he is a genuine people person, then maybe we would be more forgiving....but the fact is, 2 wins against nd, msu and osu and multiple blow out losses, and 3-9, 5-7, 7-6 records and 6 total bigten wins in 3 yrs got him fired. Not one person who did not like him or support him caused that, or made Dave Brandon fire him. [Title]

Output: Michigan owes Rich nothing, Rich owes Michigan nothing


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] Only bad thing is you will have to buy season tickets or 3 or 4 game ticket packs to get the premium games as well. I will get pissed if I have to pay $150 for osu and stuck with $80 for eastern michigan and central nevada...you get the idea.. Prices of non premium games you can find on line for half of face value aren't going down with ad ticket prices.....so it still may come out better to get the tickets on line. [Title]

Output: This is the way it's going...


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Body] Lesser schools stars would be contacted via the old hs coach, his friends someone...we know how that works... This would become first an sec and big12 loop hole and other conferences would have to do it to keep up...... Stronger limits would have to be put in place imho.......first I think 3.0 gpa would have to be the level to transfer without sitting.....And schools should be able to block a set number of schools and particular if they feel those schools have tampered by contacting the athletes. [Title]

Output: This would be a major mistake if not done correctly


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Body] I hope they can celebrate so much after a loss to the tide [Title]

Output: Will they celebrate a 23-0 loss to bama as well


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Body] You would believe that was a win for nd reading the article.......but if their biggest win of the era was a 23-0 loss as well as the consecutive losses...well now... I like how some would discredit the early dominance of the 1900's but when they try to make nd look good suddenly Michigan was the superbowl champs and little nd stood up to them....always entertaining to see the writen biases. [Title]

Output: nice article......


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Body] You couldn't blame him, looked like he was going into an nfl offense, nfl qb, wr's he was suppose to complete that puzzle......reality is Kiffin didn't have a great staff there and it shows.. Not to mention he can be such a douche people enjoy him failing. Silas, I would think his stock would have been better to stay at pennst..... [Title]

Output: thought that grass was far greener.....


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Body] None of us have any love of msu but the above statements are absurd. Hollis did have the game with unc on a carrier and that was really cool. They also worked to have the outdoor game with Michigan and other events as well. The idea was better then it could have ever been executed.....The reallity is the fact that tv networks weren't willing to bite, how could they produce 4 games on the same location at the same time......the logistics would be impossible across 4 channels.. and then the other part....such a major event would have to sell tickets for the schools to go, and guarrantee so much tv revenue for 8 teams.............with no single game getting the floor and tv time to it'self. Thus that would drag ratings for such and event. Good idea on paper cause it sounds cool....just no way to realistically pull it off........ [Title]

Output: don't be ridiculous.....


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Body] One of those games where you should have had a nice lead and instead you kick field goals cause wide open td passes are missed, cut back lanes in run game are missed or penalties that stop drives.... and they let them hang around till they finally took the lead...........It was one of those I thought they were going to blow it and hand it over... and they nearly did...but they did get it done and pull it out. [Title]

Output: that game was tough to watch


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Body] Not at corner....corner makes a mistake they give up a td......and that mistake isn't one speed prevents cause a mistake gives up 3 or 4 full speed strides before you get the shot to correct it.....and a good nfl wr is already going down field and fast enough that you paid for it with 6pts...... Denard is that dangerous in the open field that getting him 5 to 10 touches a game is worth it....cause he can break it on any touch and is good enough to generate his own yds....... [Title]

Output: denard's future is wr/rb


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] 2007 osu game, my tickets were section 9, row 27, end seats and the guy infront of me a Michigan fan and his gf an osu fan...she was on the endseat..., an osu fan going down to his seats a few rows further down turned said some drunken jiberish and planted one on her....... she went off, she was going off hating osu fans..... and a few things about having to throw up.... he ended up being escorted out as enough fans complained about him, including osu fans..... 2004 we had an angry Irate Michigan fan, dude was going off ready to kill msu's team and was letting their fans have it. He didn't make any contact or get in anyone's face, it was mostly funny but if someone would have challenged him, who knows... he wasn't drunk at all.... [Title]

Output: I only witnessed 1 drunken incident at the bighouse....


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] Tennessee was likely getting shut out in the south so coming north to supplement their recruiting.....Auburn did last yr....ole miss has.... [Title]

Output: many more sec schools coming north
