Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] A lot of people acknowledge that he can be a good runningback for all the reasons you mention, but a lot of people are thinking from a longevity perspective as well. I think a lot of people look at his build and at what other QB's have done and say that WR is the best spot, but we've seen that he has great running skills besides being fast that would make him a potential weapon in the running game. But, there should be caution for him at RB as well, not just for durability issue, but because runningback is simply a different position, even from the running perspective. If we're going to be nit-picky, Denard does have a tendency to dance at times. His skills at RB were best observed, IMO, in the inside running game, but I do question whether he'd be an effective off-tackle runner. I think he could be effective as a zone runner, but who knows.Either way, I think he has runningback skills, but people are concerned about his longevity. [Title]

Output: A lot of people acknowledge


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] A lot of that can be alleviated with better route running skills. Part of it is muscle memory as well. He still looks to be relatively upright with his weight a bit far back away from his feet but I think as he learns how to run these routes, he will fix this. Maybe after the catch when he's reacting more, as he did as a QB, he regresses and stumbles, but I expect him to run much cleaner routes at least. [Title]

Output: A lot of that can be


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] I don't think he gets to that level, either. Harvin was such a dynamic athlete in high school, especially at wide receiver, it wasn't surprising to see him pick up full-time WR so quickly. I was actually more impressed with the way he was used at Florida. But, I agree that there are certain things that Harvin has been used to at least practicing for going on 10 years now that Denard will have to pick up some of before he's anything like the natural WR that Harvin is. [Title]

Output: I don't think he gets to that


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] I think Harvin is a best-case scenario. Denard is similar in that he will probably get some snaps in some sort of wild-cat/option scenario or in a jet sweep or just something out of the backfield. But, Harvin's been a receiver for a while and he just has those instincts that may be difficult for Denard to pick up. I just hope that he can get as healthy as he can as soon as possible. He's a guy who could be very effective in the right situation, but he could just as easily be wasted, IMO. [Title]

Output: I think Harvin is a best-case


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] I think it has peaked as well. I think the novelty of the BCS has kind of worn off and although the playoff will breath new life into the sport, I think it'll be short-lived. I think a lot of the interest has also aligned with the increased interest in all levels of football, recruiting, and gambling. It seems like we may have peaked in a number of these areas, and if it hasn't peaked, than perhaps the rate of growth of interest has peaked and we may be plateauing soon. I think a new technological/media product will have to emerge if things are to continue on the path we've seen in the past decade and a half or so. [Title]

Output: I think it has peaked as


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] I think Turgeon is a very good coach and they're on a positive trajectory. As for why we can't pack a basketball stadium, you can ask Maryland about their abysmal football attendance. Basketball is just a bigger deal there and really the main major sport that they've had any consistent success at recently. If they recruit the area better, they will be a very dangerous team in the Big Ten and at minimum, they'll be in the top half of the Big Ten for a while. [Title]

Output: I think Turgeon is a very

Input: [Date] 2 years 29 weeks ago [Body] Maryland is also below the Mason-Dixon line. And since we obsess about media markets when talking about conference expansion, Woodbridge, VA is in the DC market just like the homes of people like Countess, Furman, and countless others who've either been on the team or who've we've recruited. The only reason why this nuance is brought up is because people see "VA" next to his name and all of a sudden he's a longshot Southern recruit when the reality is that he's a Mid-Atlantic recruit in the same market that we, OSU, PSU and others have had success recruiting. [Title]

Output: Maryland is below the


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Body] I'm doubtful about Denard's prospects at the next level, but I actually think playing nickel or something might not be a bad idea. We don't know how well he can catch, although perhaps playing slot and catching some drags and outs would be feasible. But, Denard is strong and tough and doesn't shy away from contact. I think returning kicks will be his most likely landing spot, I could see the attraction to the idea of him playing corner, in addition to wide receiver. He could probably take snaps as a wild cat or at runningback, but he'd probably transition to WR over time for a number of reasons, health being an important one. [Title]

Output: I'm doubtful about Denard's


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] I went to Michigan and UVA and I'm not saying that UVA would be a perfect fit, especially not culturally. I think a lot of flagship universities with high-level academics/research and good/decent sports in very nice college towns could fit in the Big Ten. And the fact that UVA has a lot of East Coasters, like a few Big Ten schools and is located in the Mid-Atlantic helps given the recent expansions. I do disagree with a number of the characterizations you made about UVA and its environs, but if you do make those characterizations about UVA, you could also make them about Penn St., Maryland, and Rutgers to a similar extent. The southern gentleman mentality you mention is probably the most significant differentiating quality between UVA and Big Ten schools. I went to high school in Fairfax County, Virginia and it was funny how when I went to UM, I was seen as a southerner, in the pejorative sense, more than anything else and my buddy who's from Montgomery County, MD was seen as a cool East Coaster, so ignorance and geographical stereotypes are alive and well in Big Ten country as well. [Title]

Output: I went to Michigan and UVA


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] Stevie Brown looked like a beast when he first came to Michigan. He had a solid senior season, but he made a number of great plays on special teams early on during his Michigan career. He also seems like an overall good guy. I'm glad to see him putting together this kind of season. [Title]

Output: Stevie Brown looked like a


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] I agree with you, but the year Stevie has had so far has been pretty good so far. It would have been nice to have had some Thorpe winners, though. [Title]

Output: I agree with you, but the


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] What you say is true, but the political boundary between the states actually is significant. Northern Virginia was basically a backwater while Suburban Maryland was the premier suburb of Washington DC decades ago. Now, Northern Virginia has come into its own and has become more significant than Suburban Maryland economically an and is just as livable for the most part, which pisses off longtime residents and economic development officials/politicians in Maryland. And even though Maryland had slaves, being a part of the Union and being less politically and culturally conservative has always been something that Maryland has boasted about. Even if NoVa is different, it's still tied to Richmond. I agree about Charlottesville and UVA. I don't think it's more cosmopolitan than Ann Arbor, but I think it'd fit in to the Big Ten pretty easily. [Title]

Output: What you say is true, but the


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] He may be underappreciated from the standpoint that a lot of people made Burke seem worse than he was when he was debating going pro after last season. It was good that he came back, but he was great towards the stretch last season and he only helped himself in camps during the offseason, which is what I think he would have done had he declared after last season. His size isn't ideal, but people seemed to underrate how skilled he was. Even some analysts didn't see it. So, I'm glad he came back but it was clear after last season that some people underappreciated him. Not now, though. [Title]

Output: He may be underappreciated

Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Please stop repeating this myth. UVA and VT have been together for less than ten years. As long has VT doesn't remain in a dumpster-fire of a conference, than the legislature is not going to obstruct things. There are certain circumstances present in the instance where the legislature got involved. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Is it common for the ACL to be injured along with the patella? I ruptured my patella tendon and am rehabbing it, but there's an issue of buckling and lack of stability that I fear may be ACL-related. Along with the contact involved with the injury, chronic patellar tendonitis was a big contributing factor for me. I know it's different from a dislocation, but it's somewhat related still. Thanks for this post, though. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] I dunno how it affects it, but Michigan lacrosse is on the upward trajectory either way. Michigan is a well-known brand in lacrosse-rich areas and the sport has become more popular in the midwest. I think having matchups with Maryland and having games available on the BTN will definitely help. [Title]

Output: I dunno how it affects it,


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] I agree. It is a smart choice from an athletics perspective. And, for the basketball-oriented programs in the conference, I'm sure they were less reluctant about this. When we talked Big Ten expansion, I'd always thought that while Louisville wouldn't be a target for us, it would be a good get for another BCS conference, whether it's the Big 12, SEC, or ACC, which I thought was the least likely, although that was before Pitt and 'Cuse joined. [Title]

Output: I agree. It is a smart choice

Output: It's not like the dude has just stumbled his way through a weak B1G and gotten smoked in bowls. They've also won their last four bowls. Why is it so hard for so many of our fans to admit that the guy who resurrected a trash program and made it nationally relevant is one of the best coaches in the country?

Input: [Date] 6 days 11 hours ago [Title] I just moved away from GR. [Body]

Output: I just moved away from GR. Here are my favorites that I've been to in Grand Rapids, along with some notes: 1. Founders: World class beer and a really cool atmosphere as well. There's always some interesting stuff on tap that you can't find in the bottles. Good sandwiches. 2. Hopcat: They brew a few of their own beers which are pretty solid. With Hopcat, however, you go for their vast tap list and the expertise of the employees in being able to match you up with flavors you will like. At one point, this was rated the second or third best beer bar in the world. Solid food at moderate prices. 3. Brewery Vivant: Belgian brewery with excellent beer (if you're into Belgian stuff) and good, but more expensive, food. The venue is in what appears to be a renovated church. Really cool atmosphere. 4. Hideout Brewing: The venue isn't much to look at unless it's a nice day, in which you can enjoy their porch. Hideout usually has 20+ beers and meads on tap and a lot of it is exotic. Very creative stuff, but no food. 5. The Mitten: They usually only have 5-6 beers on tap, but the beers are good. Excellent pizza and a really cool atmosphere in a renovated old firehouse. 6. GR Brewing: Probably the weakest beer on the list IMO, but pretty good food and a great atmosphere. It's right by Hopcat, the BOB, and Founders if you want to do a little brewery crawl. 7. The BOB brewing (bottom floor): Sporadic beer quality, but not the best atmosphere. A bit too clubby in the evening for my tastes. Maybe catch a comedy show or something and check out the beer. The peanut butter porter is killer, but probably isn't on tap this time of year. 8. Harmony: I went when they first opened and was underwhelmed. Pretty good pizza, and I've heard the beer has improved substantially. 9. Elk Brewing: I was not there for long, but the beer seemed decent. My memory of this place is not the best. NOTES: I have never been to Perrin (somehow), but their beer is probably second only to Founders for me. I've also never been to New Holland, which puts out some outstanding stuff these days. If you like sours, you should try their Incorrigible. Oddside has been good from what I've tasted, but I've also never been there. Arcadia is also within an hour from GR and they put out some excellent beer. The restaurant is also cool and has killer wood-oven pizza. Pick up a case of Whitsun and see how you think it compares to Oberon. I think it's better. You should be able to get at least one kind of Shorts on tap at most beer bars that aren't dedicated breweries.

Output: I thought Green was starting to put it together when he got injured last year. Regarding Deveon, I love how tough he is, but he's just so slow. I feel like he would have a lot of trouble with big, physical teams that tackle well. Regarding, Isaac, I know very little about him other than the fact that he had a good average in garbage time at USC. With all of this said, I think Johnson's knee is the biggest factor for us at this position. He was by far the best back on the team last year.

Output: This is what a boo sounds like: "Boo." It's tough to tell who is being criticized when that noise is made, and the whole point of a team is that everyone is together. At least in the minds of the players, that includes the coaches.

Output: Last year we didn't go to a bowl, so I don't think that beating at least one top 10 team is pretty safe money. With that said, I would rather beat MSU. Their fans are insufferable. Maybe that will change for me now that I live in Ohio.

He was starting to get really sick so the family had a party for the dad knowing there wasn't much time left for him. There were some surprise guests that day. Into the house walked in Lloyd Carr and a handfull of Michigan players. Lloyd didn't have to do that. The dad wasn't an alumni or booster. There was no coverage of this or nothing to be gained. He did it out of the kidness of his heart. That made my friends dads day that day a little easier and life long fans of Lloyd Carr as a person.

Output: What did him in was his teams shitty tackling, poor execution, turnover and overall bad fundamentals. His teams looked lost on defensive coverages and the special teams were a disaster. I'm not sure how many times I said wtf when a kid, muffed a punt, blew a coverage, gave up third and longs, missed a kick, had a false start at critical times, looked un prepared after a bye week or worse yet after a month of practice before a bowl game. The media, and some of the good ole boy michigan club may not of gave rr a fair shot at being liked by all but they are not the reason that the team he had was poorly coached. He deserved to get fired at Michgan. Im tired of hearing he didn't get a fair shot or excuses for him. Dude got paid big money to run the program. He should of grew a pair and sang rage against the machines bulls on parade instead of Josh Groban. That would of got everyone attention.

Output: Spread or no spread. Urban Meyer or no Urban Meyer. The one really big thing going for us right now is the culture Hoke has created with his current players. He always has their backs and has made them into a Michigan Family this season Hoke has created a culture of higher purpose. It's not about him, it's not about an individual player, or recruit, it's about Michigan fer gods sake. Now our current recruits are buying into that culture and already are bonding as a team, a team, a team. Not all recruits will be college all americans but Hoke can guarantee an equal shot, world class education, and being part of the Michigan family. It's great top see these recruits already feel apart of Michigan. Love to have Dunn but no worries if he goes to Ohio. Michigan will be just fine.

RR is an elite offensive coordinator at best and a good/ok/who really knows head coach? Wishful thinking on the ops part. Having said that I love our staff and what they are doing.

It must mean that all of the Michigan Jerseys were sold out right? I thought to myself turning the tide oh yeah! On a serious note I hope the team wins on Saturday for a lot of reasons but especially the seniors. Since Hoke and company have been here they have stressed playing for the seniors and senior leadership. I have to imagine the seniors will be up for this game and with their leadership I'm sure the rest of the team as well. Hoke seems to have brought the idea of accountability to the whole program. No where to hide, everyone has a job to perform including the coaches. Hoke has been all about this game from day 1 on the job. The whole program will be ready this Saturday from coaches, to players, ball boys, clock operator etc... One program united and laser focus on beating those crazy nuts from columbus with class.

When really good teams stuff the box and shutdown Denards running lanes, he will have to be a better decision maker. It wasnt just his lack of fundamentals but his bad decisions to throw off his back foot and throw god knows where? Make no mistake it was a team win but the defense lead the way in the second half.

It's funny gas station attendants, store clerks, waitresses etc... all these people I don't know would stop me and give me shit for wearing michigan apparel and talk trash. Needless to say I don't get stopped anymore. They all just disappeared like all of ohio s wins last year. So I dont feel sorry for any of those nut fans.

Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Lloyd may have seemed like a prick to the Media but was very giving to charities and to people on a personal level. My friends dad who was a big michigan fan was diagnosed with Lou Gherigs a few years after we graduated High School in 96. He was starting to get really sick so the family had a party for the dad knowing there wasn't much time left for him. There were some surprise guests that day. Into the house walked in Lloyd Carr and a handfull of Michigan players. Lloyd didn't have to do that. The dad wasn't an alumni or booster. There was no coverage of this or nothing to be gained. He did it out of the kidness of his heart. That made my friends dads day that day a little easier and life long fans of Lloyd Carr as a person. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Body] What did him in was his teams shitty tackling, poor execution, turnover and overall bad fundamentals. His teams looked lost on defensive coverages and the special teams were a disaster. I'm not sure how many times I said wtf when a kid, muffed a punt, blew a coverage, gave up third and longs, missed a kick, had a false start at critical times, looked un prepared after a bye week or worse yet after a month of practice before a bowl game. The media, and some of the good ole boy michigan club may not of gave rr a fair shot at being liked by all but they are not the reason that the team he had was poorly coached. He deserved to get fired at Michgan. Im tired of hearing he didn't get a fair shot or excuses for him. Dude got paid big money to run the program. He should of grew a pair and sang rage against the machines bulls on parade instead of Josh Groban. That would of got everyone attention. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Spread or no spread. Urban Meyer or no Urban Meyer. The one really big thing going for us right now is the culture Hoke has created with his current players. He always has their backs and has made them into a Michigan Family this season Hoke has created a culture of higher purpose. It's not about him, it's not about an individual player, or recruit, it's about Michigan fer gods sake. Now our current recruits are buying into that culture and already are bonding as a team, a team, a team. Not all recruits will be college all americans but Hoke can guarantee an equal shot, world class education, and being part of the Michigan family. It's great top see these recruits already feel apart of Michigan. Love to have Dunn but no worries if he goes to Ohio. Michigan will be just fine. [Title]

It must mean that all of the Michigan Jerseys were sold out right? I thought to myself turning the tide oh yeah! On a serious note I hope the team wins on Saturday for a lot of reasons but especially the seniors. Since Hoke and company have been here they have stressed playing for the seniors and senior leadership. I have to imagine the seniors will be up for this game and with their leadership I'm sure the rest of the team as well. Hoke seems to have brought the idea of accountability to the whole program. No where to hide, everyone has a job to perform including the coaches. Hoke has been all about this game from day 1 on the job. The whole program will be ready this Saturday from coaches, to players, ball boys, clock operator etc... One program united and laser focus on beating those crazy nuts from columbus with class.

Hopefully Denard will be more magic than tragic. When really good teams stuff the box and shutdown Denards running lanes, he will have to be a better decision maker.

NASCAR was mentioned as well somehow. I've been around various UM circles enough (sorry can't be more specific here) to be pretty sure she was asked to come (as evidenced by her apology for not being able to make it) but it is not a pre-req for VIP celebs to be UM fans to be asked to help make appearances at some high profile events....

Even though we were a pretty small crowd it felt pretty good to rub it everyone's faces after the win ("Sea-son's O-ver!" etc).

I love Roy Squarebush but that single play and the subsequent inability to score a TD from 1 yard out on 4 tries was the tipping point in that game and the start of the downward spiral of the season. (Not the losses to Iowa or MSU, in my opinion) [Title]

The problem is, that's not what Pipkins believes, and the best case scenario is this creates an unjustified black mark on public perception.

Input: [Date] 39 weeks 1 day ago [Body] This is a very good point, but I think it also gets at the basis of the problem here. The Athletic Department did Yeoman service for the Mealer family, which is fine, and if that's why Elliot Mealer feels obliged to carry their water, that's understandable. Butr it misses ehy this whole "muggle"/"civilian" issue matters. There shouldn't BE a bunker mentality about this. The Athletic Department shouldn't be seen is seperate from the fans/alumni/students, because it all falls under the same institution. All these groups are extensions of the same entity, which is the University of Michigan. The relationship is meant to be symbiotic: without the fans there can be no team, and no AD to take care of them. If you start to see teh fans relationship to the team as parasitic, and seperate from what the AD does, you're not seeing the forest for the eco-system. I mean, if you want to see the players, the fans and the AD as soldiers, civilians and state department fine, but in that metaphor, we're still one nation. Can you imagine the metaphor if soldiers started to see themselves as so removed from civilian affairs that they constituted a different species? Chilling. [Title]

Input: [Date] 41 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Negatory, sir. Pitt's OLine was also stripped of talent and experience when Chryst took over, and its last two recruiting classes were decimated by no less than three coaching changes. Chryst essentially inherited a program on the brink and cobbled together some success. I wrote a longer post about this further below. [Title]

Output: Negatory, sir. Pitt's OLine


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I talked about Todd Graham to add a "boots on the ground" context, so I might as well chime in on the subject of Chryst. While Chryst hasn't had a lot of success at Pitt on paper, there are some things that should be noted. First, most importantly, don't underestimate what a trainwreck Pitt was when he took the helm. The Panthers managed to burn through three head coaches in two years, not counting interim head coaches, complete with two scandals. Two successive recruiting classes fell apart, and they went from pro to spread to pro in three successive seasons. They had much the same problems with youth and depth on their lines, and an underwhelming picture at QB. Chryst exacerbated this by running a clean ship and getting rid of problematic student athletes, like 5* Rushel Shell, further limiting his talent pool. Chryst is a first time HC, and the warts are there. Particularly, his cloack management has been poor, and some rushed decisions at critical times are noted; that could be the result of inexperience, but it alsio seems to be a running theme with pro-style coaches. That said, Chryst has shown some real upside, and I've often used it to highlight Hoke's flaws. He recruits well, he's been getting some big name kids to stay home, and whateeeever else you want to say, Chryst can identify and develop talent. He saw Tyler Boyd, whose third to choice after Pitt and WVU was Michigan State pretty much by default, and saw talent; Michigan can't offer everyone, obviously, but Pitt fans were aware of what a talent this kid was supposed to be and what a big target he was for them, and he wasn't on Michigan's radar. Sure enough, he'll probably be in the pros after next year. More notable, I think, is James Connor. Connor was a non-descript, 3* DE in his last year of HS. He committed to Pitt, and suddenly it was declared they wanted him to be a running back. Pitt fans shrugged. Yet Connor became, from his first year, a better RB than Michigan has had since Mike Hart, and with an equally talent and experience-denuded OL. I look at him with some whimsy as he does all the things I know RBs are supposed to do, like break tackles, burst through holes and drag piles, make yards after contact. Michigan wouldn't have recruited Connor anyway, because the kid had grade problems in HS, but that's not really the issue. Chryst looked at a no-name DE and saw potential, and then quickly realized that potential into performance, which are skills Hoke has lacked. He can develop QB talent too, for what it's worth. He got Savage drafted, and that was not seen as a likely feat when he took over. People in Pittsburgh see his work with Savage as a continuation of what he did with Russell Wilson. Boyd, Savage and Connor are anecodtal examples, I know, but I hold them out as examples of what Chryst does right. He took a program that was worse off than I think anyone unfamiliar with the program realizes, and has largely stabalized it. I tend to think given two more years the Panthers will be doing well enough that Chryst will be a much hotter commodity, which is, all-in-all, not a bad trajectory for a first HC job. At Michigan? Well, he's obviously a gamble, but I think there are riskier gambles out there that are being talked about. I think more highly of the job he's done at Pitt in three years than the job Hoke has done here in four, especially given the disparity of experience, resources and prestige. [Title]

Output: Some Context on Chryst


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I don't disagree in any particular. I think, though, that the difference between Graham and the other coaches you listed is slightly more than an issue of bad etiquette in the manner of his departure. That is to say, nobody blames a coach for moving up the ladder as a buisness decision (or at least, not too loud or for too long). I think the difference is, it's expected a coach on the rise leaves the program in better condition than when he inherited it. Most of the coaches you listed remained for multiple years, or in Brian Kelly's case, which is illuminating, for three, which is ample time to make your bones and to improve the school's situation for the next guy. The difference between one year and three can be dramatic, but I'm not trying to make that case, per se. Obviously Rice was better off, in a sense, than when he first came there. Pitt, on the other hand, actually suffered from his year-long tenure. And that, I think, is more the issue. I think I made the comparison to Chryst, somewhere in all this, who had the opportunity to leave and did not. At a minimu, whether it was the focus of his decision or not, he had to be aware that if HE left after a year, he would be the fourth Panthers coach to depart (willingly or not) in a three year span, and a program already on the brink would probably have collapsed in a fairly definitive manner. I think the fact that he remained reflects well on him, and he has done a great deal to restore the Panthers roster and on-the-field product to, if not exactly the heights of football, then at least out of the gutter. [Title]

Output: I don't disagree in any


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I believe he was at Tulsa longer, but he was certainly one-and-done at Rice and Pitt. His departure from Pitt was used against him in recruiting with some success at ASU, at least initially, although I assume his extending tenure and winning ways will have silenced most of that. Of course, the more he moves around, the more some of that negativity will resurface. [Title]

Output: I believe he was at Tulsa


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I wouldn't contest that, but as a counter argument, it is believed (at least by the locals) that Paul Chryst received inquiries about the Wisconsin job after his first year and had the opportunity to take it. With that in mind, Pitt fans were resigned, and couldn't really fault him (being a Madison local/lifer). The story has it he stayed because he understood Pitt would completely unravel if he lleft, and he felt an obligation to build up the program before he moved on and upwards. Not groundbreaking stuff, again, just context. I do think most coaches feel an obligation to stay in a program for longer than a year. I don't even think Graham was much of a cultural fit, so perhaps it was for the best. I would draw a distinction between Hoke taking a job he was clear from the onset that he always wanted and would take and Graham, though, largely for the other, oh, we'll call them flourishes. [Title]

Output: I wouldn't contest that, but


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I'll add this too, but just for context: he did face some of the same problems Rich Rod did trying to take the Panthers from a pro team to a spread team, including the tempo-fatigue we became familiar with. The pro-style linemen he inherited would wear down under the fast tempo, and their play would unravel in the latter stages of the game. Much the same with the defense, if the the offense couldn't remain on the field. Naturally, that's a self-correcting problem over time: the players become more accustomed to the tempo as time goes by, especially as new recruits selected for the system come up. It didn't make for a pretty sight over the course of one season, though, especially given how it ended. [Title]

Output: I'll add this too, but just


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Body] He's a Texas native, who seems most at home coaching and recruiting in that region, so you may be right. On the other hand, never underestimate a freebooting mentality. He might come to Michigan if the price is right, and to climb the ladder of school prestige. In that regard, though, he would be a flight risk as soon as a better, or perhaps even equitable, job opened down south. [Title]

Output: He's a Texas native, who


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I was in Pittsburgh the year Todd Graham (now known in the Steel City as "Fraud Graham") coached the Panthers and fled. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to reject the guy without delving into stereotypes of accent and religion. It wasn't just that he pulled a one-and-done in Pittsburgh, he lied to everyone, including administrators, players and recruits, along the way, and wrapped it up by leaving the AD standing on his doorstep when rumors made their way into the news and questions required answers. Then he texted the team a quicck goodbye on his way to Arizona. Once at ASU, he gave what was essentially the same speech he gave when he got to Pittsburgh, a great to do about the school being a dream job, integrity, yadda yadda. Maybe not as well known in Michigan, but go to a Pitt fansite and ask them their opinions about Graham. I guarantee you, faith and folksy mannerisms will not be in the top ten list of negative things you hear. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] Being a true freshman QB is a lot less of aproblem when you are A.) An elite talent, B.) throwing to an elite WR, and C.) Facing a team with no pass rush. Right now that's check, check and check. Which in not to say that we WILL need him at PSU, but on the road, in a very hostile environment, we may. But your statement was broader than that, and if you don't think we'll need him against MSU, or maybe even to generate some pass rush against pass-happy Indiana, I don't know what to say. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] It's purely anecdotal, so take it for what it's worth, but in a similar situation I've seen a similar move produce positive results. In Wannestedt's last year, the O-Line was thin, the center an undersized JUCO. The Panther's got off to a woeful start, couldn't move the ball against lowly New Hampshire, got trampled and embarassed on national TV by Miami. They reshufled the O-Line and had a substantial increase in tehri play. They wound up with a respectable(ish) 8-5 record, which they likely would not have had if they stuck to the original configuration for consistency sake. As I said, it's anecdotal, but it impressed upon me that O-Line, like everything else, must be subject to change, and that change may potentially yield positive results. [Title]

Output: It's purely anecdotal, so

Output: Why?


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] It makes a lot more sense seeing the receivers and defensive backfield. The reason I had difficulty understanding is because I was thinking "well if you have 2 corners covering 2 receivers, plus 2 safeties, who has the edge?" The assumption that I made incorrectly is that they would have a corner on each receiver (if the slot receiver at the top was at the bottom of the screen, they'd have to do this). Great point on the bubble screen issue, because we're allowing them to keep 9 guys near the box to stuff the run. If they have to walk their WILL out to the slot or have their boundary corner come across the formation to cover the slot, then we gain a numbers advantage in the box. If they walk the WILL out, that's one less block to make on the play you drew up. If they walk the boundary corner over, they have to adjust on the strong side of the line to have another force guy, and if they walk the safety that's over our slot receiver up, then we can go over the top on them. THROW THE BUBBLE! As far as the precise alignment of the players in the diagram, I personally think it looks like the SDE is head up on Williams, which makes that an easier block on the tackle trap/power play. It looks like the tackles are in a 1-tech on the weak side and 3-tech on the strong side, which would lead me to believe that the SDE would be head up or outside shade of Williams (looks head up). Tough to tell for sure though from the camera angle. [Title]

Output: Thanks


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] I'm just a young football coach in Canada that's just starting out, so I don't claim to know everything about schemes or anything. So my suggestions here might not even be useful. However, I don't think that's how the opposing defenses would really be lining up against some of the offenses that you showed us (Michigan) running. For example, in the tackle trap play, who would be the force player to the strong side? Would it be a safety (not shown in the diagram)? If not, we would just run stretches or tosses all day against that alignment. We have two players aligned outside of their furthest edge player. They'd be absolutely killed if we tried to attack the edge just based on alignment alone. I could understand that there could be a safety there, so I'm just looking for clarification because it's difficult to understand without the proper context. The other reason I could see them being aligned like this in the picture is just because it's difficult to be precise when using programs to draw up plays like this. The reason I think it is important to note and possibly correct something like this is because it changes the blocks that would have to be made. For example, if the strongside end is outside of Williams to have some sort of edge control, Williams no longer has to make a difficult reach block, which drastically changes what your expectations on how well the play could work out for us. Again, I appreciate the work you put in, I'm just looking for clarification. Thanks. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Why was the runner called safe at third? The announcer said obstruction I believe. If you compare that play to the last out of the game last night between Nebraska and Florida, I don't understand how this one was obstruction and that one was not. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] I admittedly know nothing about softball, but have tuned in to try to watch the game tonight. The one girl has thrown over 150 pitches. Is this a usual occurrence? I'm pretty sure I saw earlier that the same pitcher will pitch twice in the same day in tourneys like this. Is it just not hard on your arm? Is there some type of limit or pitch count where a pitcher would be unable to be as successful once throwing a certain amount of pitches? It seems like having one great pitcher that is unhittable could win a shitty team a whole lot of games if nobody else ever has to pitch... [Title]

Output: Pitchers

Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Have you watched the NHL playoffs before? When's the last time the top team in each conference met in the finals? The playoffs are a brand new season. Pittsburgh and Chicago are absolutely stacked, but all it takes is a goalie to get hot, a couple players to get injured, etc and suddenly things look a lot different. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Body] I had a great time today at the game. It didn't seem to be anywhere close to sold out. If I show up before the game and go to the box office, there should be tickets available right? Or should I just order some online? [Title]

Output: The staff has been in him?


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Body] This sounds like a good idea, but I'm not sure it would work in practice. If the coach is going to decline the foul, they'll just have to inbound the ball again, and get fouled again over and over until the defensive team finally denied the inbound play and got the ball back. I supposed it could work though when a team is in a one and one situation. They could just decline until they are in double bonus. If you're going to do that though, you might as well just get rid of the one and one rule altogether. [Title]

Output: Not sure it would work


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] Sorry for thread jacking a little bit. I don't have enough points to create my own thread, and this is somewhat on topic for this thread I guess. I just picked up tickets for free to the Wings game at 2:00. I'm from Windsor, so I want to head over early, watch the Michigan game at a bar, then head to the Joe for the Wings game. Any suggestions on where I should go to watch the game? Any place within walking distance of the Joe would be great. Doesn't even have to be a great bar, I probably won't drink anyways. Just need somewhere to go to watch. [Title]

Output: Bars near the Joe

Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I was just wondering, if Ok St passes Alabama, would Alabama still get the auto bid because they are top 4? Or can you only have 3 teams from the same conference when 2 our in the MNC and neither won the conference? Also, is it possible for Va Tech to pass Stanford? That would get rid of the problem of Stanford getting an auto bid. Or is Stanford so far ahead of Va Tech that it wouldn't be realistic? [Title]

Output: Couple quick questions

Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Body] Where was the ball when he stepped out of bounds at the 32? If the ball was at the 33 when he stepped out of bounds at the 32, the ball should be spotted at the 33 right? [Title]

Output: Where was


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Body] I'm not sure why Denard is outside the top ten, but in terms of pure speed, he definitely isn't the fastest in the NCAA. Denard ran 10.56 in the 100m in high school, which is blazing fast. However, Demps has run a sub 10 second 100m which is world class. Denard's PB in the 60m is 6.81, while Demps' is 6.53. That's a huge difference in the 60m. The difference is Denard has ridiculous agility. His lateral quickness is insane. That's why his agility and acceleration are both 99 in the game. It's actually pretty accurate of how he really plays. [Title]

Output: I'm not sure why Denard is

Input: [Date] 4 years 9 weeks ago [Body] IMO, the Champions League is mainly useful for comparing teams from different countries. The EPL is 38 games long, so I think that shows who the best team is in England. So, if what you say happened, I'd say Man City is the top club in England. A 1 game elimination (or even home and away aggregate) doesn't show who the best team is necessarily. It's all a matter of opinion though. I'm sure a lot of people would disagree and think the Champions League is the end all be all. This year, it doesn't matter anyways because Barcelona is clearly the best club in the world. [Title]

Output: I don't think so

Still have no idea who it is, but there's probably a decent chance that he's somewhere in here. By the way, I know that this is weird for me to look this up, I don't really care. I'm bored and had time to kill. I used to play AAA hockey during draft year as well, so I somewhat understand the crazy things that happen. I wasn't on the draft list myself or anything, so I didn't personally have the same experience, but a couple of my teammates went on to be really good players at the next level. There were always a lot of scouts in the stands and as a goalie, I found it really tough to stay calm and focused. There really is a lot of pressure on kids to perform. [Title]

Output: I may be on to something


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Body] In Ace's commitment post he mentioned that Norco has put out some decent talent to the PAC12, but some of these clips seem to be man against boys. Love his drive (both on film and in the gym). [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Body] I almost see that as an excuse to break out something similar to what you outline to give them some punch in the knockout rounds. Front as below with the staggered 4 man look between Bradley/Jones/Zusi/Dempsey with Mixx Central and Zusi/FJohnson looking to exploit the overlap and get crosses into the box while Bradley and Mix go forward: ---------------------Bradley-------------Jones-------------------- Zusi ------------------------Mixx--------------------- -----------------------------------------------Dempsey -------------------------Jozy [Title]

Output: If we go in only needing a point


Input: [Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Body] but I think packing the middle of the field is our rock/paper/scissors decision as stretching ourselves thinner in the back 6 only exposes us further. IMO we look to neutralize the Ghanian midfield and make them play wide by building centrally. We don't have the personnel to execute a 4-3-3, I agree. To play with the personality types you'd be looking for, however I would offer up Yedlin and Bedoya getting 45 minutes of pure sprinting to support the outside backs. Either way I would bet heavily against us trotting this out against either Portugal or Germany but hey... let's have a fun discussion. (Btw, this looks promising in 2018 w/ either of Yedlin/Johnson out wide and J Green opposite them and Aron/Jozy up top, MB and ??Gil?? centrally) ------------------------------Howard------------------------------ F. Johnson ------ Cameron ----- Besler -------- Beasley ----------------------------Beckerman--------------------------- --------------------Bradley -----------Jones ----------------- Yedlin/Bedoya-------------------------------------Dempsey --------------------------------------- Altidore -------------- [Title]

Output: Completely agree on narrow-ness


Input: [Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Body] Really love the soccer pieces. I'd roll out what would loosely be considered a 4-1-3-2 looking something like this to remove the Bedoya/Zusi/Not Donovan issues. Keep it narrow and depend on width from Beasley and FJ, using Jozy in moments of "defensive mashing of buttons" and letting Aron Bacon run off him, and Dempsey to set him up otherwise. Pros: eliminates moments of extreme "WTF IS EVERYONE" because Beckerman and here's praying that MB/JJones don't kamakaze forward often while still allowing MB to be in a more comfortable CM role, Cons: lack of width, speed and crossing ability outside of FJ, also completely new ------------------------------Howard------------------------------ F. Johnson ------ Cameron ----- Besler -------- Beasley ----------------------------Beckerman--------------------------- ---------------Bradley -------------------Jones ----------------- ------------------------------------------Dempsey --------------- ----------------Aron Johannsson ---- Altidore -------------- [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] Both basketball. First time I came down with a rebound on a guy's foot in a pile during an AAU game, knee buckled inward and tore ACL/MCL/Lateral meniscus (buckethandle tear), second time I pivoted wrong going down the floor avoiding a guy coming at me, tore ACL & meniscus so they ended up removing the meniscus. Both happened within 3 or so years of each other, between summer going into my senior year of HS and Jr. year of college. Always good feeling like an old man at 27 whenever it's below freezing, but I can still run and stay active enough, even if I don't hoop anymore. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Body] Based on the above breakdowns (tremendous, btw), this capitalizes on Lewan's movement and superior athletic ability on the end of the line. Does it also indicate that Bryant is a more effective "puller" than Kalis? I remember someone (Demens?) saying that when Bryant pulled, you were in a world of hurt, but also heard many comments here and other boards clamoring that Bryant wasn't effective in space. In short - if we swapped Schofield to traditional "LT" and made Lewan "TE" in a traditional alignment, then we could pull Kalis. Not saying I'd prefer either, as I don't think Kalis has shown special ability on the move, but any thoughts on this are welcome. [Title]

Output: Question on flipping Lewan v. Schofield

Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Body] in all seriousness, our defense now = top 25 and theirs now is top 5. Our offensive potential == top 25 and theirs equals.... top 100? I just don't understand as their uside is not only limited by diffencies at the QB spot, but also at their skill positions. Quick - name their TE. Also, our offense (especially at the WR and TE spot) is a mix of inexperience and youth, whereas theirs is a mixture of drops and drops. [Title]

Output: Jaylon Brown doesn't prove anything about Crystal Balls other than that they're sometimes wrong, which we already knew. That doesn't make them a bad or uninteresting indicator going forward. I think it's a really good idea. Let a bunch of writers make their "best guess" public. When you read an article and a writer makes a prediction, do you take it as gospel? No, but if you can see a consensus forming you'll probably be interested to see it. The nicest part is you can see who voted and when so you can use your own judgment as to which votes are more credible than others.

Input: [Date] 5 days 5 hours ago [Title] It's funny because that [Body]

Output: It's funny because that interview uncut was like 45 minutes long and she said quite a lot, but what they used was almost all me. As Vince Vaughn said, "I'm not a talker."


Input: [Date] 5 days 5 hours ago [Title] It is. It's kinda like Omaha [Body]

Output: It is. It's kinda like Omaha Steaks but with super high end meat and the the meat (except the ribeye) comes marinated/seasoned. And they have higher end sides. It's kinda pricey, but it's really good stuff. I kinda like to make my own burger patties and season my own meat, but if you don't want to mess around with that (or you just aren't any good at it and want it to turn out great) then this is a good option. The burgers have cheddar and bacon inside the patty so you don't even need to top them with anything. Those were the best.


Input: [Date] 5 days 6 hours ago [Title] I know, I wish I could have. [Body]

Output: I know, I wish I could have. They actually moved my Michigan stuff by the grill because they want it to be neutral. Funny thing, the guy who runs that company is a Michigan grad, so he would have signed off on it. EDIT: although if you look closely, you'll notice my pool noodles are maize and blue.


Input: [Date] 5 days 6 hours ago [Title] Oh, duh. Sorry man, when you [Body]

Output: Oh, duh. Sorry man, when you said Holland I thought Holland High. Funny how there are people here you know but don't know it.

Output: I know a lot of public school teachers and all of them make more than that.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] From what I understand, all [Body]

Output: From what I understand, all NBA contracts are guaranteed, unless you're counting the option years as part of the contract (which you shouldn't). Calling a 3 year contract with a 4th year team option a "4 year contract" is just wrong, but that might be what's happening here.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] If I was his agent and GRIII [Body]

Output: If I was his agent and GRIII had the option to sign a 3 year guaranteed contract for the minimum, I'd jump on that in a heart beat. This is a player that nobody wants. He was already been tossed aside by two bad teams (and one good one). Getting one year guaranteed is good work for GRIII at this point. Signing a 3-year contract at the minimum is only stupid if you have other (better) offers. I'm willing to bet GRIII does not.

Input: [Date] 4 days 6 hours ago [Body] I'm going 8-4 regular season as well, but I'd bet is to win our bowl game if that's the case. So I guess 9-4 is my prediction. [Title]

Output: I'm going 8-4 regular season


Input: [Date] 4 days 8 hours ago [Body] It's important to remember where you came from. [Title]

Output: It's important to remember


Input: [Date] 4 days 8 hours ago [Body] Jaylon Brown doesn't prove anything about Crystal Balls other than that they're sometimes wrong, which we already knew. That doesn't make them a bad or uninteresting indicator going forward. I think it's a really good idea. Let a bunch of writers make their "best guess" public. When you read an article and a writer makes a prediction, do you take it as gospel? No, but if you can see a consensus forming you'll probably be interested to see it. The nicest part is you can see who voted and when so you can use your own judgment as to which votes are more credible than others. [Title]

Output: Jaylon Brown doesn't prove

Input: [Date] 5 days 3 hours ago [Body] They paid me in meatand in money. That is my tea family, but not everyone in there is family, some are neighbors. The blondes are not my family.

Output: They paid me in meatand in

Input: [Date] 5 days 5 hours ago [Body] It is. It's kinda like Omaha Steaks but with super high end meat and the the meat (except the ribeye) comes marinated/seasoned. And they have higher end sides. It's kinda pricey, but it's really good stuff. I kinda like to make my own burger patties and season my own meat, but if you don't want to mess around with that (or you just aren't any good at it and want it to turn out great) then this is a good option. The burgers have cheddar and bacon inside the patty so you don't even need to top them with anything. Those were the best. [Title]

Output: It is. It's kinda like Omaha


Input: [Date] 5 days 6 hours ago [Body] I know, I wish I could have. They actually moved my Michigan stuff by the grill because they want it to be neutral.
