Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Blatant thread hijack [Body]

Output: As I have under 100 points, I cannot create my own thread. I should have worked harder to get up to 100 before this point, but it's too late now. Anyways, I'm leaving to go on a NOLS course in New Zealand for a semester on friday. Sadly, it ends three days after the OSU game. Thus, I'm going to miss the entire season, with no hope of finding out how Michigan is doing until Nov. 27th. This is heart breaking, but I wanted to ask the community if you had any ideas on the best way to look up their record and such. One idea I had is to have a friend send me the highlights of each game in an embeded video. That way I could watch each game unfold, and still get a glimmer of the season's suspense. Any other ideas? Sorry for the highjack


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] During a lot of the game, it [Body]

Output: During a lot of the game, it just seemed like they were just beating us a little bit in every matchup every play. It wasn't that we were that vastly overplayed, it was the consistancy of it. Every yard was a struggle. Hoke clearly has taught the team how to fight though. Great post

Output: I'm glad to see that this is back for another year. Good work


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] I thought Borges [Body]

Output: didn't call nearly enough designed runs for Denard in the first half. Only that one on third and one, which got the first. We were just overmatched though, we need another year or two for our recruiting to catch up to theirs.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] 15-20 [Body]

Output: Somewhere just shy of twenty I'd say, giving us second place overall.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] While your argument did made [Body]

Output: While your argument did made me think slightly better of his chances, I still believe that he is by no means a favorite to win. He has yet to put together a consistant year throwing and running against good defenses, and you ignore the fact that each of the other candidates will have had another year to polish their game. He also faces a punishing slate of defenses, Eg Alabama, Notre Dame, MSU, OSU. He lost Molk from the offensive line as well. Michigan now also has a feature back in Fitz, which could cut into his production significantly. He has a shot at it, and I obviously hope he makes it, but I can't justify calling him the favorite to win.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] It's clearly a dilemna [Body]

Output: but in the end, only one of those two events is a once in a lifetime experience. You can still have a superb time watching the game on TV, you'll save money that will probably come in handy once the baby is born, and you won't risk missing something you could regret the rest of your life.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] I feel [Body]

Output: blessed to grow up in Ann Arbor with such a storied and legendary team and stadium less than a mile from my house. Most wins, and most attendance. It doesn't get any better


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] I know that [Body]

Output: there is a longstanding tradition of OSU at noon, but I would love to see a night game against them. A cold night won't stop us from coming out to watch an OSU game, and the atmosphere would be electric. A night series against Notre Dame is also a good option though. I would also really like to see Michgian hosta big name out of conference opponent at night to open the season. How does the mgoboard feel about multiple night games in a season?


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Regardless [Body]

Output: of how Michigan State does this year, and regardless of what happens when Michigan plays them, they are a program on the decline again. The way Hoke has been recruiting in state must be starving MSU of commitments. They don't have the national pedigree to count on getting enough quality prospects from aronud the country. Every commit we get is one they don't. In a few years, they'll be back to the little brother


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] I don't think this'll be the [Body]

Output: I don't think this'll be the year, but Countess could very well be the next michigan shut down corner. Even this year though, he should be a very solid starter. Our secondary is in the midst of what I believe will end up as an absolutely ridiculous two year turn around. It will be so nice to have a real Michigan Defense again. Last year was getting there, but linebacker play was too inconsistent.

Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Title] The 2005 Penn State Game [Body]

Output: was the game that got me into football, i still remember it like it was yesterday. Lloyd Carr pulled a great move in that game though to get the two seconds back, JoePa was just bitter. It established Chad Henne to Mario Manningham, the only qb-reciever combo of that level I've seen for Michigan. Heres hoping Shane Morris and Darboh or Treadwell changes that. I was excited about switching to such a running quarterback, but the beauty of an excellent passing game has been lost.

Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Title] Coach Leonidas [Body]

Output: 1. I can't see anyone on defense earning #2. The only player who I would consider giving it to is Jordan Kovacs, for his heart and his determination. 2. Nope 3. No helmet stickers. All we need is the wings. 4. Yes, a few different sets would be ideal. 5. I wouldn't, but it wouldn't kill me if it happened. 6. I would run a passing spread offense, plus a little extra tight endage. 7. Can't do any better than we already have OT: I don't think this was a stupid post


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Title] It makes it a harder path to [Body]

Output: It makes it a harder path to the championship as a 1 or 2 seed, but there are scenarios where it would help us too. If the playoff rules were to apply to this season, for instance, and we were to lose to Alabama in our opener, and then go undefeated for the rest of the season while USC and Alabama both went undefeated, we would have no chance of cracking the top 2. But in the playoff system, we could enter the playoffs as a 3 or 4 seed, and get another crack at Alabama. Take your own example, 2006. If we had the playoff format, after the loss to Ohio State, Michigan still would have made the playoff, and gotten another crack at the national championship.

Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] What does it mean if I just can't get enthused by these rah-rah platitudes? Congrats on our supposed moral victory of running our team "the right way" nowadays (whatever that insinuates), and please join me at the bar as we watch our rivals compete for a championship tonight. Serious question: this striking divide in our fan base that has been evident since 2009- are there similar divides at other schools? Or does it stem from the whole tradition vs. actual on-field success situation that is unique to Michigan. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Body] I've lived on Mary since the Pub opened, and even worked a couple shifts when they were undermanned. Bar Bullets: There were ~4 management changes in 2011. Last January/February, the Pub carved itself a Thursday night niche with $1 Labatt bottles, but the week the managers started charging $3 cover, the place became desolate. The bar would run out of beer some nights, and bartenders would then run to Campus Corner and pay for bottles out of their own pocket. This past fall, bartenders/bouncers/busboys never got their hourly wages, and this led to a lawsuit with ownership. A couple weeks before it closed down, pitchers of Bud Light were $10. The bar was just not using its space well (the downstairs was always empty and those huge tables were inefficient). Packard Pub was doing okay for a couple months, but in my opinion, trying to cash in on those Thursdays by charging cover ultimately led to its downfall. [Title]

Output: I've lived on Mary since the

Input: [Date] 7 weeks 10 hours ago [Body] I think BC should be higher on that list in reality. I've lived around Boston for my entire life and have only known 2 non-alum BC fans. It's the combination of a lack of interest in college sports in the area and the fact that people really find BC to be arrogant and annoying. Maybe if they were successful it would be different but they're not. They caught lightning in a bottle with Doug Flutie in the 80's and haven't done anything since. They fired their most successful recent football coach for daring to interview with the NFL and fired their most successful basketball coach of all time for no apparant reason. They are just the worst. EDIT: I should also mention that if you do care about college sports in this area you were likely a Big East hoops fan and hold a grudge against BC for single-handidly starting its demise to go play schools below the Mason Dixon line. Did I mention I don't like BC? [Title]

Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I'm a big Providence College hoops fan. I'm very excited about this series and thrilled that it honors the memory of the legendary Dave Gavitt, former PC coach and founder of the Big East. I love the new incarnation of the Big East. I don't miss any of the schools that have defected. The Friars have a much better chance to compete in a conference with smaller, like-minded, basketball-centric schools. It's a throwback to what the conference was originally supposed to be about. I think the series will be beneficial for both conferences but probably more so for the Big East. Out of conference schedules and performance are huge for a 10 team league. Hopefully in the years to come Michigan will make a trip out to Providence to play on Dave Gavitt Court. I would definitely be in attendence. [Title]

Output: I'm a big Providence College

Output: Brady spent the AFC


Input: [Date] 1 year 12 weeks ago [Body] People here and around the country forget what originally made the Big East great. The lack of football and the ability to keep northeastern city kids local caused its original success in the 80's. The conference became a national laughing stock because of what happened with its football programs but that was never supposed to be the emphasis. Now they have a chance to remake themselves in the image that the great Dave Gavitt always had in mind. I believe they will more than hold their own against the B1G. Some of the opinions on this thread are shortsighted and don't show a solid understanding of the history of the sport or where it's headed.

Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Body] My buddy and I are Red Sox fans and were walking back to our cars after seeing the Sox beat the Yankees in a regular season game in 2002 at Yankee Stadium. This one dude who was with a few of his friends was walking beside us and kept chanting "1918" over and over and over again. My friend eventually said something harmless like "scoreboard" but that was all this guy needed. He got inches away from my friend. He wanted a fight but when it was clear my friend wasn't going to swing at him he spit all over his face. We were in absolute shock. I've heard the new Yankee Stadium is a nice, family friendly place but it was a different atmosphere not too long ago. I'll never forget that moment under the Major Deegan Expressway. It was around then that I decided I didn't need to keep going to the South Bronx. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Title] Not desperation just smart roster building [Body]

Output: from a smart head coach. Beilein didn't originally anticipate this staff would start churning kids out to the league after 2 years. He doesn't want to get caught with a bare roster again. And as much as we all get caught up in the recruiting hype because we see the instant impact it has in bball, it is unrealistic to think that we are going to real in a 5 man class full of studs. Most of the elite kids aren't recruitable because one way or another they are getting something we won't offer. There will still be plenty of scholarships available but not we also have a good base of kids who should be here to fill out the roster, like spike, and possibly overlooked kids who can really blossom under this staff, like Caris. Who by the way was a May committ.


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Title] I love the in denial Michigan fan [Body]

Output: I know in response I'll just get called a clost sparty because that's how the world of tough internet guys works but the idea that the only reason they are a force on defense is because they cheat is beyond ridiculous. Coaches areamongst the most competitive people in the world. If MSU's schemes and defenders weren't elite and it was just clutching and grabbing every other school would be doing this. It's like the people that try to say Beilein and company aren't elite and we just jack 3s, Give credit to coaches who are elite at what they do. It's embarrassing to try to make excuses instead of tipping your hat.

Output: they hadn't weakened the starting rotation while also not upgrading the bullpen. Good news is the division is embarrassingly awful and the tigers have elite talent so they will easily win it and from there the playoffs are a crapshoot and they have verlander and scherzer to potentially ride to a ring. But they need to add some bullpen pieces and sign stephen drew after the summer draft or find a ss elsehwere for the whole defense/baserunning upgrade to really show from last season in my opinion.

Output: Rooting one way or another since at this point i am confused and can rattle off a lot off good reasons to keep RR and a lot of good reasons to bring in Harbaugh. But isn't it pretty obvious that DB wants Harbaugh? It doesn't make any sense not to say RR is staying if he wants him to stay. Either he wants Harbaugh but doesn't know if he can get him or he knows Harbaugh is coming but they didn't want to blow things up before Stanford's first big bowl in over a decade.


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

Output: Can we please stop using national titles as the criteria by which to determine whether you are rooting for a change or want RR to stay. We won a title in 97. That was our first in 50 years. We are not a powerhouse program that rolls of national titles left and right and we never have been. We need a coach who can consistently compete for big ten titles Whoever that is is who we need whether you think that is RR or Harbaugh but to say you don't want Harbaugh because that will condemn us to going 9-3 and 10-2 all the time but never 12-0 is just stupid. I don't know if you have been under a rock the last 3 years but i would kill for 9-3 right about now.


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I don't think [Body]

Output: RR doesn't emphasize the game or understand its importance. I just think he is fully aware of how outmatched we are and that it would have a negative impact on the kids and the program to go into these games shouting off about hating OSU and having to win this game and then get blasted.


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

Output: Is a moron. Everything he has said in the past 5-10 years I remember ever accidentally hearing him speak is stupid. I am amazed he can monkey a keyboard well enough to cobble together columns that would be embarrassing for an 8th grader to turn in. I don't think Tressell is concerned about coaching a specific way to beat us and make sure RR doesn't get fired. It's not like he was struggling before RR took over. Things like that really make me scared to live in a world where people like that are allowed to do anything that would possibly influence people. I don't think I am overstating that.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] It's based off current [Body]

Output: It's based off current standings and MSU hasn't had its off week yet so they have a half game on OSU and Wisc and Iowa at 5-1 compared to the 4-1 conference records of the other 3


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

Output: beats Iowa then Wisc and OSU will go to the BCS and sparty can enjoy their one breakthrough year landing them in the capital one bowl


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Not That Many Choices This Week [Body]

Output: The week of THE GAME also features Oregon-Zona and Auburn-Bama


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

Output: It would be embarrassing to give an extension to a guy who is 13-19 in 2+ seasons at a school used to competing for conference championships. If you are saying it still leaves the out to fire him after the season then what is the point? A lot of recruits will decommit if he is fired even if the quasi 2 year extension made them feel better right now. And if you believe he can turn it around with help from a whole new d coaching staff then the move is simply to not fire him.


Input: [Date] 4 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Seriously? [Body]

Output: The defense is terrible and RR seems like he may have been a step behind in realizing that and addressing it in recruiting as he focuses on the offense. If Brandon doesn't think RR can turn the defense around he should fire him. If he does then he should keep him. But please don't waste time trying to make the argument that RR should have tried to run an offense he is not familiar with, with 2 bad QBS, a terrible O-Line, no WRS and no healthy RBs. That 2008 offense was going to be terrible regardless, and in case you hadn't noticed, Michigan is averaging 35 points a game and 30 in Big Ten Play. Offense is not the problem.

Output: To be fair to sparty


Input: [Date] 4 days 20 hours ago [Body] How long it's been since once could say that about a Michigan team. Probably 2006 would be it, but even before that, one would have to probably have to go back to the 90s [Title]

Output: It's been quite sad


Input: [Date] 5 days 20 hours ago [Body] But many people, such as myself, think the biggest question on this team is "playmakers" in the offensive side so I am very much for JP playing some offense. [Title]

Output: I am too


Input: [Date] 5 days 23 hours ago [Body] I was in Vegas a few weeks ago and found a downtown casino that had Michigan at 80-1 odds to win the NC. Put 10 bucks down to win 800.. They were 30-1 odds on the strip. [Title]

Calvin College basketball I root for the Lions, but just never will get invested into the Lions even if they were to start going deep into playoffs. [Title]

Output: Mine


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Body] It's just the city of Muskegon itself, not including the beaches, and when comparing to other beach towns is kind of "blah" so I also would agree with what your friends told you assuming they meant that . [Title]

Output: Yeah


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Body] Hoffmaster State Park is family friendly and a solid beach. Nice dune to climb too. Wippie Dip is a nice stop for ice cream near by after a day at the beach. [Title]

Output: Muskegon has some nice beaches , though

Output: Umm...


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Body] Of all the personal attacks on players on could have, saying someone was bummed on a 5-7 record set you have with some snarky response like that? You're a douche. [Title]

Output: Hahaha


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] And I thought last episode was great and it has still been a solid season so far. Getting pretty tired of people constantly trying to compare it to last season. Yeah I agree last season was better but so the fuck what ? I think people just like to bitch for the sake of bitching. There is plenty of good tv currently on besides GOT. [Title]

Output: I am watching it


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] I remember I for some Reason thought it'd be Smart to go to the bars after the 2011 MSU UM game (live in Grand Rapids). I usually never fight but I remember getting thrown out of MoJos for getting into it with a few sparties. Punches were almost thrown outside the bar with us but luckily my Friends convinced me to just get in a can and call it a night. I was nearly blackout drunk so i was Probably acting like a fool [Title]

Output: Shit I thought of another low moment


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I had an email exchange with Brian about it long ago, and he said they were aware of it. I think if an account predates a certain point in time (around the time of the great malware incursion), then the problem arises when you try to change your picture. Anyhow, I gave up waiting and started a new identity just to get an avatar -- mostly because I like this one so much. Points don't really matter -- the worst part was losing my join date, from mid 2009. People tend to give you more respect when you've been around for a while. [EDIT: Breaking News! See my post as "Rasmus" below -- there is a workaround for this!] [Title]

Output: I gave up


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 16 hours ago [Body] I think you're closest to describing the issue clearly. Although they did change personnel -- as I understand it, they only had four OL in on those three plays. I still haven't read a decent description of what the Pats did. I don't have it recorded, so I can't look for myself. Can anyone point to video online? [Title]

Output: Yes, thanks


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 17 hours ago [Body] According to Belichick, they only did it three times. The Ravens did adjust, and Harbaugh's stopping the game by walking onto the field to complain to the refs about how they were handling it was part of that. [Title]

Output: According to Belichick


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 17 hours ago [Body] They only did it three times, according to Belichick. I'm not sure what happened on those plays, and ESPN is no help in telling me. Unfortunately, I didn't record the game, so I can't go back and look for myself. Baltimore actually adjusted pretty quickly, and the Pats stopped doing it. [Title]

Output: They only did it three times


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Thanks for doing this. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. There are good position switches and bad position switches. Basically, if you're trying to fill holes with position switches, that's a problem. If you're simply trying to get great athletes onto the field when there's no room for them at their best position, that's not so much a problem as a luxury. [Title]

Output: Thanks


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 2 days ago [Body] That rumor stems from the fact he was hired at Iowa when Mary Sue was president there. In Three and Out, Bacon says that he was Martin's first choice before Carr retired, but MSC vetoed it once the search started, for whatever reason. [Title]

Output: Not quite


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 2 days ago [Body] One of the things about Morris is that he seems like he may take a while to get going. IIRC, he's only had two starts, one in each of his seasons. He needs to start in at least two, maybe three, consecutive games before he will begin to get comfortable. This is related to the fact he has a very, very strong arm -- it will take some time for him to calibrate it to his receivers and just this level of competition in general. To use a cliche, the game needs "to slow down" for him -- count me as one who thinks it will once he gets his chance. He also has one big advantage over the other guys -- he is two or more years older than them. That's not nothing. I'd be very surprised if he is not the starter at the beginning of the season. Whether he remains so depends on what happens in those first few games, obviously. [Title]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 3 days ago [Body] One thing the NFL-centric guys are missing is the allure of winning a CFP National Championship at Michigan. That's not nothing. How that stacks up against a Super Bowl in Harbaugh's mind is hard to say. As someone who basically roots for NFL teams depending on the number and centrality of the Michigan alumni on their rosters, it's an easy decision. But Harbaugh played in the NFL, and it may mean a lot to him. I think the NFL itself truly wants to hang onto him, and a lot of that smoke is coming from an actual fire. They will make a serious offer. It won't be an easy choice. Regardless, to answer the OP, I myself won't hold it against him if he stays in the NFL. [Title]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Those stereotypical Apple hipsters are almost as big of asshats as someone who would post "Apple sucks" in a thread just to be "cool" (I think that reply must be sarcasm? Funny either way.) Maybe you miseed the memo, but it's trendy to be anti-Apple, and has been for a while. But they do keep selling gajillions of machines, because they are quality, like you say. That said, I think the watch isn't unique, and it won't follow the iPod/iPhone/iPad trajectories, but I still wouldn't sell my stock in the company. [Title]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 3 days ago [Body] He said that neither he nor his agent had been contacted. I understand the need to lie, or at least obfuscate, from a recruiting standpoint and for team morale. I'm not saying that, in itself, was why he may have "screwed himself." For me, it's more about generating a major sports media story by holding his dumb off-the-record news conference prelude. If I'm Hackett, my response is, "Well, thanks for not waiting, Les. You just made my job easier." That said, I doubt Hackett is so thin-skinned, and he wouldn't let that stop him if he thinks Miles is the best Plan B. But jerking LSU around the way he did in that non-news news conference (if in fact he still wants the Michigan job, then he was in fact jerking LSU around) isn't a point in his favor. [Title]

Output: FWIW


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I don't think there was any reason to say anything at all. I believe him when he says he has not heard from Michgan. By handling it the way he did, I think he showed once again that he doesn't get it. Let's assume that he is lying, and in fact he wants the job. It's okay to lie off the record, but not on? You go on the record or you don't answer those questions. [Title]

Output: "may have"


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 3 days ago [Body] No doubt the offer has an expiration date, but not until at least the time Hackett said he thought we would have a coach. So early January? No doubt Michigan knows the NFL rules for Harbaugh finding out what he needs to know about his options there, and any serious deadline must account for that -- without allowing the NFL to stall. Regardless, making the Harbaugh offer allows Michigan to move on to working on Plan B. Up until yesterday, probably only the search firm was focused on that. With the offer to Plan A approved within the University and officially made, Hackett can move on to Plan B. That's really the big news yesterday -- Michigan is now searching for its Plan B. The publicity about the offer puts them in a good position, as it makes the situation very clear. The only person who may have screwed himself is Miles, assuming he wanted the job. [Title]

Output: No doubts


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Body] FYI, Andy and Jim never played together at Pioneer. They are the same age and they would have known each other as kids for a couple of years before the Moellers moved to Illinois (1977-1979). But the Harbaughs were gone (to Stanford) when the Moellers moved back to Michigan in 1980. [Title]

Output: FYI


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 3 days ago [Body] All that it says is what it meant in context -- that Alvarez, as a former coach, is better qualified to be an AD who "hovers over" his football coaches than Brandon. [Title]

Output: All that it says


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 4 days ago [Body] This is more about the NFL wanting to retain Harbaugh. All the NFL people who are saying whatever they are saying are always basically trying to undermine Harbaugh-to-Michigan. The reality is that Jim Harbaugh's energy is worth a lot to the NFL and they want to keep it going. The Jets are my guess, but it doesn't matter. Pretty much everything from an NFL source has to be understood in that light. [Title]

Output: This


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Click on the image to go to a larger version. Note the blurb at the top: "The 1979 Football season was not a successful one. ... The team started generating wins when sophomore quarterback Jim Harbaugh came up from the J. V. squad. ..." [Title]

Output: Overall


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Just for fun, and because this post by Brian has moved me from highly skeptical to true believer, I hereby post a detail of Jim Harbaugh's 1979 Ann Arbor Pioneer JV football team photo. I will put the overall of the page in a reply to this. From my wife's 1980 yearbook. She was in his class -- that was their sophomore year -- he went to the prom with one of her friends, but she didn't really know him. He moved to California (i.e., Stanford) the next year. That was John Harbaugh's senior year -- he is number 22 in the Varsity photo below the JV photo. [Title]

Output: Harbaugh JV team photo


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Takes a year off, then takes the HC job at Ohio (not that Ohio). The greatest thing ever. Also the perfect place for him. Solich just turned 70. Hoke has a lot of friends in the coaching community, and they can understand where he's coming from. He can get a job if he wants one. It's more of a question of what he wants to do. I don't really see him in the NFL. [Title]

Output: Ohio


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I overstated that, and I should have put it differently, since I'm sure much of the trip went fine, but this is what I was referring to: http://mgoblog.com/diaries/what-player-alumni-really-think-current-players [Title]

Output: Sorry


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 2 days ago [Body] You're not alone in thinking that Hoke would get another season, even in this thread. But, as someone who has consistently thought that, I can't say I still do. I still think Hoke has more support than people here recognize, but I no longer think there is much evidence that he can turn things around next year. This season would have to have gone very differently for that to happen, and I don't mean wins and losses. Sure, yes, Rutgers was a bad loss -- the whole trip to NYC was a complete mess, not just the game -- and now Brandon is gone. But the other losses are to decent teams that are all having good if not great seasons -- so it isn't that -- it is the way Michigan lost those other games, none of which were remotely competitive. That's what matters. There has been improvement -- the OL looks good for next year, IMHO. The defense will be fine. I always thought that would be enough -- keep the course and Michigan will win a lot of games in 2015. But the spankings against good opponents this year just don't support that way of thinking any longer. [Title]

Output: Sure


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Exams end the 17th and December degrees are conferred on the 20th. So grades are probably due on the Friday the 19th. If his exams take place before the last day, then his grades could be available even sooner. Regardless, his Fall semester grades would surely be available by the 20th. So you might be right. I don't know how eligibility rules work. [Title]

Output: Exams


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Here's the thing -- people get hired into jobs like this from smaller institutions all the time. You can't always find someone with the experience you need at a peer institution. Sometimes those people survive, but there is ALWAYS a learning curve. It takes a while to adjust to a larger, more complex environment. But other times people just can't handle it. In general, you know pretty quickly whether or not it is working out. Like a year or so. Then you hire them a management coach and if that doesn't work, they are gone. So what I'm saying is that a serious search would consider some of the coaches mentioned in this thread. Brandon was screwed the minute he restricted his search to just people with ties to the University of Michigan. No doubt he didn't admit (or even realize -- he doesn't seem very self-aware) that was what he was doing, but in retrospect it sure looks like it. He wanted someone to heal the rifts within the program. He chose Hoke, who did achieve that goal, at least for a while. Unfortunately, he just wasn't ready for the job itself. I do think Michigan will give Hoke another year. If I'm right, then pray that it turns out Shane Morris just needed a little more time on the field to get his bearings. And who knows, maybe Hackett will hire Hoke a good management coach and he can learn how to do his job. That does sometimes work. [Title]

Output: This is a common problem


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Funny in that it was actually a "there" versus "their" problem. [Title]

Output: Ha ha


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Did any of you actually read the article? Yes, they got the apartment through the brother of someone connected to the football program, for $1300/mo in rent. They did pay their rent, but it appears that sometimes it was late. The landlord only tried to enforce the late-payments clause of the lease when Peppers transferred. A judge threw that out for obvious reasons, and just had them pay their last month's rent. Was the eviction and lawsuit payback for transferring? Sure, yes, it's possible. People can be assholes. It's quite common. But it hasn't got anything to do with Peppers' eligibility. Helping someone find an apartment isn't a violation. We know there was a reasonable rent, and we know they paid it. The rest is bullshit that may be indicative of larger problems at Don Bosco (the lawsuit as a threat -- if you move your kid, we will make your life hell), but nothing else. [Title]

Output: God


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 5 days ago [Body] That's an insult to either Yin or Yang, not sure which. Brandon lacks the balance between extremes expressed in that image. [Title]

Output: That's an insult


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I taught undergraduates for many years. So I have some practical sense of what happens inside of a University and in the education and maturation process at those ages. I'm not saying you, but I think a lot of fans have a distorted sense of what is going on here. I just don't see what you think is obvious, that players on offense are not being developed. The line is still a work in progress, but there is development there. Kalis? Being a five-star is not an automatic guarantee of success. Is there anyone else who is truly performing below expectations? You had two young running backs coming along nicely. One got hurt, but still. Darboh had something resembling a breakout game against PSU. That's good, especially for Funchess against MSU. Jake Butt looks great. So Shane Morris had a rough go of it -- in his first real, non-mono and its long recovery process, game since his junior year of high school. So what? I think you can fire Hoke for putting Morris back into that game. There's really no excuse for that. Period. And maybe for being a deer in headlights in general when standing on the field during competitive games as head coach. And maybe for ignoring innovation, whatever. But for a lack of player development? I don't see it. [Title]

Output: FWIW,


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I just don't think having the families of current players basically doing alumni relations (which is, at root, fundraising) is a good idea. Not just because it isn't necessarily a given that being an active former player means you are not a fool, but also because it's a distraction regardless. These trips are going to be used for fundraising -- besides television money, it's probably the principal reason why the B1G took Rutgers and Maryland. No doubt Brandon wanted to show immediate results on the first trip to the greater New York City area. But mistakes were made, mistakes that may be undermining the team, if what the OP is reporting is any indication. Hoke has got problems as a head coach on the field, and it's not clear that he is improving in those respects -- that's why good practices continue to fail to translate into good games, but saying there is "no player development" is just wrong. I think it is likely that you are going to see that thing you find unreasonable happen (next year), right or wrong. But that's mainly because I see improvement despite the chaos, and I still expect at least one big upset win this year -- if it is at MSU, then watch out. But as I said, that's just me. [Title]

Output: Maybe so,


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 14 hours ago [Body] First off, last night was a good win, in which the team showed a lot of heart and basic, sustained competence. Let's not forget that. Only very stupid people will say beating Penn State means nothing. Second, I don't know if this kind of thing -- arranging for players and their families on a road trip to stay with former players -- has been common in the past, under Carr and earlier. Somehow I doubt it? It feels to me like a Brandon thing -- he seems hung up on his past and it colors everything he does. If so, then it's a fairly big instance of his incompetence, and something that your family should consider bringing to the new President's office. It may not be a terrible idea, but it certainly sounds like it was badly mishandled. Third, for what it's worth and this is just me, but I would be interested in knowing what Hoke might do with a competent AD making his job simpler instead of making it more complicated, which is what this thing you're talking about sounds like to me. Just the kind of messy distraction you don't need when you're trying to do Hoke's job. I don't see the point of trying to hire a new coach with Brandon still in place -- even if you could convince someone good to come, they'd still have Brandon to deal with. So get rid of Brandon, and see what Hoke can do next year (and, ideally, the rest of this year). Then make a decision on Hoke. [Title]

Output: First off


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Listed as 2nd/3rd string The link is here: Game 4 Notes EDIT: Note that these lag by a week, as they come out on Monday, before any changes are in place. I'm not sure we know when Morgan got injured -- in the App St game or in practice on the Monday after it, but either way, he still would have been (and was) listed as an OR starter for ND, and his status not changed to the current one until Miami U. [Title]

Output: Listed as 2nd/3rd string


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Another factor that should be considered is who is doing the hiring. Was the new coach hired by the same person who hired the old coach? I think Hoke will need five years, but even if I did not think that I still have no confidence Brandon has the ability to handle the search for his replacement. Brandon gets a lot of reflected glory from Beilein's success, but in fact he did not hire Beilein. I also don't think he should get much credit for making Michigan's football coaching-staff salaries competitive. That decision (Rodriguez's main legacy at Michigan) was already made when he arrived -- indeed, that's what Brandon was hired to do. The goal at Michigan is to play Ohio State with something on the line. That's what motivates players and teams. Without it, if you're always playing them in hopes of spoiling their season (as sweet as that can be), it wears you down. It's hard to stay focused in the off-season, or after a setback during the season. You need to believe the goal is attainable. I still think Hoke will meet that standard. He will find his way. Possibly even this year. If he does not, you have to look at replacing Brandon before you fire Hoke. In my view, it was Brandon who created the problem in the first place. If you let Brandon hire the next coach, you're just rolling the dice. "Maybe he'll get lucky." [Title]

Output: Another factor that should be considered

Output: 2007 Ohio State: The offense never showed up and neither did the offensive line at the point of attack. I almost lost it at the Michigan bar in DC at the end of the game. Plus, it was the end of a season that saw The Horror and Oregon--Carr's unfortunate sunset, so a lot of frustration came out. 2014 Minnesota: Concussion-gate. When I watch games on TV with friends, I'm OK. When I watch by myself...I'm yelling and screaming. A lot of yelling and screaming, a lot of pounding the coffee table, happened that game. The fact that nobody on that staff could figure out Morris had a concussion or even attempted to take his helmet away was unconscionable.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Went to the Maryland-MSU game last year [Body]

Output: My buddies (MSU grads) and I first thought about taking Metro from Northern Virginia, but we knew between construction and just the system's complete unreliability that it could take us almost 2 hours to get back late at night. That said, if you want to take Metro, UMD has shuttle busses that will take you to campus and drop you off near the stadium (or wherever you may are tailgating). What my friends did was drive to the College Park Metro stop, parked there (it's free on the weekends), and took the shuttle bus to campus. We ended up walking back to the Metro station from campus after the game, which ended up being a 30-minute walk (but doable).


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Just my opinion but... [Body]

Output: I'd love it if the university seal came back on the shoulders. They were worn on the jersey during my undergrad years. Unfortunately, the complete de-emphasis of the seal across the university pretty much means that won't happen. Note: I was not a fan of the "shiny" maize jersey options during those years (nor the use of the Colorado Avalanche lettering/numbering). But definitely bring back the script Michigan.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Thanks...I was a big BB fan [Body]

Output: Thanks...I was a big BB fan growing up watching the local Detroit channels for news. I was fairly bummed when he got canned in January 1995, but it was understandable--he just couldn't control the drinking habit. When WXYZ put the compilation of best commentaries out and the one with him railing against college football and Michigan-OSU...until the twist at the end, it was worth making that an avatar haha.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] One of my favorites...love the scene when they're [Body]

Output: One of my favorites...love the scene when they're watching the Michigan vs MSU game and Bo makes a cameo appearance on the TV screen.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I was at the Yerevan Republic [Body]

Output: I was at the Yerevan Republic Square (aka their ancestral Armenia homecoming) concert back on April 23 and SOAD absolutely rocked. They still have it. If the set list is anything similar to their European tour, it will be most of the stuff off their previous albums...plus a couple covers of some patriotic Armenian songs and a 3-4 part political cartoon on genocide (which is why they're doing the tour first place).


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Title] McHenry lost her cool, no [Body]

Output: McHenry lost her cool, no question. But that towing company, Advanced Towing, in Arlington (VA), is notorious for predatory towing and I'd go far as to say they're one of the most unscrupulous companies on the planet. This article says that she may have been rightfully parked when she was towed. That said, she lost her cool and definitely should have known better and could have handled it better since now Advanced Towing likely gets away scot free. The fact she continued her tirade after looking up at the security camera was a facepalm moment if there ever was one. I know a few people that got towed by Advanced and shouldn't have, but they don't give a damn. They want your money any which way they can. http://www.arlnow.com/2015/04/16/video-espn-reporter-berates-advanced-to...


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I'm watching the Runnin' [Body]

Output: I'm watching the Runnin' Rebels HBO documentary right now and I didn't realize Tark and Smith coached against each other in the 1977 Final Four. Both now gone. Sad day for basketball and my fellow Armenian-Americans who really looked up to Tark (and Tark was proud of his Armenian roots).


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] This [Body]

Output: In the interest of full disclosure (even in the danger of getting flogged on this forum): I used to work at USA TODAY in the sports department (my boss was an ex-Daily editor who initially wrote "Go Blue!" when he responded to my CV/resume for that gig). In fact, at one point there were quite a few ex-Michigan Daily writers/editors employed by the paper. If I were still there, I probably would have had to publish this article since I used to work with the college sports desk. The National sports media won't delve deep into this stuff--they only write what they can see. Like a few others have mentioned, they won't think about what the future may hold. Only that "Michigan lost out on Clark and Marshall...UCLA grabbed a whole bunch of highly-ranked players...etc." It's very superficial and I'm not a big fan of it either. But like stated before: It's all clickbait to rile up the fanbases. We know better--Harbaugh can develop these guys to play like studs. That's all there is to it.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] SI also put Michigan in the loser column [Body]

Output: Sports Illustrated put Michigan in the loser column as well. http://www.si.com/college-football/2015/02/04/national-signing-day-winne... Let's be honest: We won't know if we're a "winner" or "loser" for another 2-3 years when this class develops and shakes out. So I take these recaps with a grain of salt just like the NFL draft grades that come out one day after that's all said and done.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Jim Harbaugh will flip these recruits for real [Body]

Output: He'll flip ya for real


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I feel like the Josh Smith [Body]

Output: I feel like the Josh Smith signing happened because of Gores' "win now" ultimatum and the fact that Dumars had the money to spend. It was a poor signing. Darko was high on many draft boards that year and, yes, history shows that was an awful pick. But let's not forget Darko was also a primadonna who let all the hype get to his head. That hype let him think he had the right to play regular minutes each game from the start of the season. When he didn't get regular playing time under Larry Brown (another factor you have to throw in because Brown wanted Darko to play more a traditional post game instead of the inside-outside shooting big-man Euro style Darko was used to on top of the fact this was an NBA Finals bound team with a strong, tight starting nucleus already forged), he sulked. The sulking affected his attitude which affected everything else. He was talented--perhaps not at a No. 2 pick level--but it's not like the guy didn't know how to play hoops. He had a crappy attitude. I mean...look at his choice remarks after this EuroBasket game in 2007 that didn't go Serbia's way. Talented kid, horrible mindset.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Here's the link to his [Body]

Output: Here's the link to his Youngstown State coaching bio. There's also a "mic'd up" video on the bio...embedded below.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 7 hours ago [Title] Minnick on Harbaugh from Dec. 2011 [Body]

Output: This is from December 2011 from the 49ers' "Harbaugh Interviews" ... some very cool Harbaugh anecdotes if you click on the link. Example: A classic story – and I still have a scar on my hand from it. We were probably in the fourth grade, fifth grade. Our parents are best of friends. They were best of friends when we were young, they are still very close friends. But my dad and Jack Harbaugh are very much alike. And we were playing football in the front yard. You know, my brothers and Jim and John, and we were arguing over a call, Jim and I were. Jim and I are – I guess from our parents’ side, unfortunately – very much alike. So we’re arguing over a call, and his dad and my dad just kind of look at each other and go, ‘Damn it, that’s enough. You two fight.’ So right in the front yard, our parents had Jim and Jim square off in a fistfight, just to quit arguing about calls. And sure enough, that’s what we did. And I caught him real good. I caught him right in the mouth, cut my hand open on his tooth. Blood’s everywhere. And at that point, they broke us up. And the funny thing about it is, because the fight was called because my hand was bleeding, Jim claims he won the fight. So he had me come out when I just got back from Iraq, off of one deployment, he had me come out and speak to the Stanford team. And when he introduced me, that’s the story he tells. So that gives you an idea the kind of competitor and the fighter he’s always been.”


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 3 days ago [Title] My best explanation of what went wrong [Body]

Output: In case anyone cares, I talked to a former colleague of mine from a "sister" paper of the Freep. (Full disclosure: I worked at a Gannett paper for five years on the online sports desk with at least one other Michigan alum--it was NOT the Freep). He said that Gannett, the parent company, has been centralizing page/photo/copy editing at regional "design centers" for the local papers they own (Freep, Indy Star, Louisville, Arizona Republic, etc) except for USA Today. So it's quite possible somone not in Detroit AND not well-versed in sports (which the latter has to be the case IMHO) picked the faux photo and edited the page. It's still a massive failure and ultimately falls on the Freep editors for not getting it right, but this is another sign of the downfall of the old-school newspaper business: Local papers that aren't produced locally for the sake of corporate economic efficiency.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Not only that...last I [Body]

Output: Not only that...last I checked, you can actually run the ball out of the spread and pistol and any other spread type of offense. Heck, we ran the ball pretty well in the 2008 Capital One Bowl game vs. Florida when we went to that spread-style design for that lone day.


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I hate to say it but this game could very well be [Body]

Output: I hate to say it but this game could very well be M00N II: The M00M.


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] I believe it was mentioned in [Body]

Output: I believe it was mentioned in Three and Out that Bill Martin had Dungy on his initial wish list. The man is not coaching football again, period.


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 3 days ago [Title] My post on Diggs went up probably the same time as this one [Body]

Output: Here's a link to a Baltimore Sun article that details what happened. I hope he gets well soon. Diggs was injured early in the fourth quarter of the Terp's victory at Penn State, when he took a shot to the kidney area while diving and stretching out for the end zone after a catch. Diggs was down on the field for an extended period and was tended to by Maryland’s athletic trainer before walking to the sideline. While Diggs later returned to the game and nearly scored on the Terps’ next series, the wide receiver was in noticeable pain while walking to the postgame media area after the game.


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Go Back to the future for bowl sponsors [Body]

Output: Bring back USF&G for the Sugar, Sunkist for the Fiesta and Federal Express for the Orange.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 6 days ago [Title] NY beers [Body]

Output: In Manhattan to run the NYC marathon Sunday ... First beer was St. Lawrence Liquid Gold, now on the Kuka a Pumpkin Dubbel.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Re Harbaugh being viable [Body]

Output: I think he is based on other track records. UCLA hired Jim L. Mora in 2012 and he had last coached college in 1984 as a GA at Washington and obviously was never a college coordinator. It's worked out OK for them so far.


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 8 hours ago [Title] Before Jaws...he was Kanamit [Body]

Output: In the Twilight Zone episode "To Serve Man" ... and yes, it's still a cookbook.


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Olympic Stadium [Body]

Output: Montreal's Olympic Stadium back when the Expos were around. Went to a game there in 2002. The seats were awful and you could just tell the ballpark was awkwardly converted for baseball...Not to mention the issues they had with the roof for years and the financial boondoggle it was for Montreal, among other things.


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I would rather have been in Armenia doing what you [Body]

Output: I would rather have been in Armenia doing what you were doing (and visiting the motherland in the process) then watching the game at the Michigan bar in NYC. When you get sympathy from random Miami (YTM) fans in Manhattan ... It's bad.


Input: [Date] 1 year 1 week ago [Title] Usually I don't believe in [Body]

Output: Usually I don't believe in coincidences, but this for this purpose it is...especially since I didn't make the connection that Bo indeed looks like Clancy here. I love those photos of Bo wearing those sunglasses in the 80s. Heck, I wish I owned a pair.


Input: [Date] 1 year 1 week ago [Title] "This business will get out of control" [Body]

Output: Although I was in diapers, this has shades of 1983 with the Korean Air disaster where the Soviets shot down the airliner after it strayed into Russian air space, killing everyone on board. That all said, my only comment for this disaster can be summed up by Admiral Josh Painter from The Hunt for Red October.


Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Body] The author of this article completely screwed this up. If it was based on the rankings he would simply apply to more widely used national criteria to the regional schools. Even a "top" ranked regional school would struggle to make the top 75. Creighton accepts 80 percent of its students and as a 25 percentile ACT score of 24. It isn't some academic powerhouse. [Title]

Output: The author of this article


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] They offered Pallante a full scholarship and had Williams as a backup but he chose ND. Maybe there weren't any other sleeper DEs that they liked in the class. I doubt that they just didn't consider backup options. [Title]

Output: They offered Pallante a full

Output: Why would you buy gold?

Output: Surely what you mean is that


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Body] I disagree with the "major diversity" suggestion. I think it would only reward schools that offer a large group of academically questionable majors. Remember when Ohio State was making fun of Michigan for having so many kids concentrating on General Studies while they players majoring in "Family Resource Management" and "Sports and Leisure Studies". Furthermore, kids who didn't care would still be pushed into random majors. I think it is actually beneficial to put players who don't have a specific interest into concentrations like General Studies at Michigan, Business at Notre Dame, or Science, Technology, and Society at Stanford (info from old mgoblog article "Destroy Harbaugh"). It gives them a manageable selection of classes(considering their intense athletic schedules) and allows them to take classes with their peers while offering them exposure to college level courses and helping them build basic communication/analytical skills. If they fail to make it in football and desire a more specific education at a later time, schools should offer them a full-ride and admissions help to a grad program of their choosing. If anything, I think the NCAA should push to standardize education for atheletes across schools and ensure that athletes meet some core set of criteria in their coursework. Granting Terrell Pryor the status of Academic All-American is a greater mockery of college athletics than pushing kids towards a more managable course of action. [Title]

Output: I disagree with the "major


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] Which RB coaches would have made any of the RR-era backs into multiyear NFL players? Touissant's injury pretty much ended his NFL hopes. V Smith was never going to make in the NFL. STEVE SLATON IS NOT IN THE NFL. Does Rich Rod have any RBs currently in the NFL? Rawls was just a body in the 1 month 2011 class. Jackson hyped him up. Jackson hypes everyone up. Justice Hayes is still under 200 pounds. Hayes will still be a RS Jr. He looked pretty good in the bowl game, even if he is moving to slot. Drake Johnson, who was supposedly very raw coming out of HS, was competiting for the starting job. I thought Smith and Green improved a good amount over the course of the year. [Title]

Output: Which RB coaches would have


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] He must not be a big Under Armour fan. [Title]

Output: He must not be a big Under


Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Body] It is also important to have 3 scholarship-worthy athletes at QB. So far, the 2011 QB class has been underwhelming. What QB would you have taken that you would feel comfortable starting as a RS Fr? Would it help the 2013 team to take another Bellomy-level talent over a guy like Willie Henry/Dennis Norfleet(last minute guys who are major contributors)? [Title]

Output: It is also important to have


Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Body] We didn't have relatively few. Last year we had 4 all B1G and this year we have three. Considering there are 12 teams and only 26 spots, we had a good amount relatively. [Title]

Output: We didn't have relatively

Output: The 2011 team ran the ball


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] How is there a lack of demand if the tickets are still over 100 dollars? There have been a few Michigan games were it was difficult to give student tickets away. [Title]

Output: How is there a lack of demand


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] It's supposed to be amateur athletics. Players who wish to be paid according to their free market value you can try to do so elsewhere or lobby the NFL to drop their ridiculous restrictions [Title]

Output: It's supposed to be amateur


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] He could still get a pay raise by leaving. If texas offers him 15 million a year, he turns them down, an they offer their second choice 7 million a year, Alabama would only have to pay him 7.1 million. [Title]

Output: He could still get a pay


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] Doesn't the BWW pick before the Gator this year? [Title]

Output: Doesn't the BWW pick before


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] What are you talking about? Pretty much every coach hired into the league is a former coordinator/assistant. UW and Colorado hired coaches from weaker conferences(though petersen is a much bigger name that any MAC coach). Arizona and WSU took chances on disgraced offensive gurus and ASU hired Graham. UCLA snagged a twice fired former NFL HC. [Title]

Output: What are you talking about?


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] Amazon's CyberMonday site is pretty sweet, especially for electronics. I pretty much just checkin on the deals on it all day. There are/were some really cheap TVs if someone is looking to pickup a second TV for their bedroom or something. [Title]

Output: Amazon's CyberMonday site is


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] Most of those guys appeared compotent and to not struggle starting next to other veteran players. Schofield looks terrible this year and many people are saying Lewan actually isn't that great. How many times in Michigan history have we had this many young guys playing side by side on the OL/TE/FB positions? [Title]

Output: Most of those guys appeared

Output: Yeah they don't usually lose


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Body] It is one thing if talented underclassman beat out multiple more experienced players for a starting position. Michigan has three young guys right next to each other on the interior that are pretty much playing their by default. [Title]

Output: It is one thing if talented

Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Body] If your avatar pic is of yourself you need to stop dressing like an ass. Drives me crazy. No headset. You look like an idiot. You look like a 3rd grader whose parents bought him clothing a size to big because they didn't care about how it looked and he would someday grow into them. Also, I don't know why you 'quoted' toughness and your puns are week.* *no. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Body] Young OL can contribute. However, the odds that 3 young OL playing adjacent to each other against the best D in the country on the road are going not play terribly are pretty low. [Title]

Output: Young OL can contribute.

Output: How do you level up your horde?


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] "While we were advised BHBH [Body]

Output: "While we were advised BHBH would again be Spring Football Game Weekend, and of the rental price of the stadium" It sounds like the race pays a venue fee for use of the stadium. Maybe not as much as they charge for a wedding or other non-charity event? $6k a pop for one-hour wedding ceremonies is a nice payoff.


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Americans for Safe Access vs [Body]

Output: Americans for Safe Access vs DEA over the schedule 1 classification could have a significant impact on how this all plays out as far as federal involvement, raids, etc. With regards to sports at the end of the day the school/team/NCAA/NFL can make whatever rules they please and players can either adhere to those rules or face the consequences. I don't think we'll see any rule changes unless recreational use is legalized nationwide like alcohol. I definitely don't see it changing anything at the college level since both states have set a minimum age of 21.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] I managed to be surrounded by [Body]

Output: I managed to be surrounded by the drunk belligerent Husker fans despite being in the visitors section. Outside of the game people were really nice. Poor cell service, crappy beer, nothing to do outside of football, I don't think we'll bother driving through 8hrs of corn again.

Output: My family is in Saline and they had golf ball sized hail.


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Title] So he had to be forced to do [Body]

Output: So he had to be forced to do the right thing and then he "learned" from it and the dog that was attacked was most likely euthanized for defending itself. His writing and word choice shows he's perfectly fine with discrimintion against dogs based on breed, something I fight against every day. It is ignorance and I'm disappointed a professor would subscribe to such ideas.


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Me too. [Body]

Output: 10am start for Mountain time isn't fun either. It is an improvement from when I lived in Alaska and those games started at 8am.


Input: [Date] 3 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Universities discourage [Body]

Output: Universities discourage victims of sexual assault from going to the police because if they deal with these cases internally they don't get included in the annual campus crime reports. Always skip the school/campus cops and go straight to the police.


Input: [Date] 3 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Same here. [Body]

Output: The ends are cutting off with both versions for me too. It is extra scary only being able to see the angry wolverine and Sparty. EDIT: I changed the desktop setting from "center" to "stretch" and it works now.

Output: Great commercial but how am I supposed to watch the game with all this dust in my eyes?


Input: [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Title] They made these for a bunch [Body]

Output: They made these for a bunch of schools and all of them have the same typo. Our local news used the Colorado one.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] At first glace I also saw a [Body]

Output: At first glace I also saw a boat! I thought it was inspired by "the crossing of the Delaware" until I looked closer.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Arrived 5 days late [Body]

Output: Sadly I always win these things. When I was 16 I was supposed to fly home to Alaska from Michigan on a Saturday. I was travelling by myself and there was a bad snowstorm. I didn't leave Detroit until Sunday, got stuck in Minneapolis for 2 nights (it was supposed to be 1 night but the agent gave me a ticket for a flight that didn't exist), then flew to Salt Lake and on to Seattle where I spent another night before finally going home. I didn't have my bag the whole time and had to buy some clothes in Minny. So yeah, I arrived home 5 days late and received no compensation from the airlines.


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 weeks ago [Title] I bleed maize and blue but [Body]

Output: I bleed maize and blue but there is no denying that Ralphie is awesome! After moving to Colorado I went to one of their games just to see her. I felt bad when they hauled her all the way out to Georgia just to lose in classic ass whooping fashion.


Input: [Date] 4 years 7 weeks ago [Title] The car thing really throws [Body]

Output: The car thing really throws me. I graduated in '04 and students with cars were still the exception, not the norm. Has this really changed?


Input: [Date] 4 years 9 weeks ago [Title] +1 this is a great post. This [Body]

Output: +1 this is a great post. This guy is going to be one of those parents who refuses to pick up their sick kid when the school calls because it's really important she still get to play in the game after school. At least he'll probably get what he deserves when his daughter gets older.

Output: Our favorite New Belgium is the Abbey and I'm digging on the new Ranger IPA too.

Output: Some homebrew, some Avery brews, and enough hard liquor to forget I even did the taxes last night.


Input: [Date] 4 years 21 weeks ago [Title] I was also part of the class [Body]

Output: I was also part of the class that got to pay the price. It's not nearly as fun watching those wins get stripped away and the current team punished for actions that happend well before they ever got to college. But I can't complain too much since my senior year was the last time we beat OSU in football.


Input: [Date] 4 years 25 weeks ago [Title] "The last time U-M closed was [Body]

Output: "The last time U-M closed was 1978". That explains why the only time I've heard of a snow day was from a 70s alumna.


Input: [Date] 4 years 25 weeks ago [Title] They never cancelled due to [Body]

Output: They never cancelled due to weather in my 4 years there. We had a bad ice storm one year and they were nice enough to warn students to watch out for all the falling tree branches.

Output: 1. At home on the big screen 2. with the hubby 3. we'll check in on all of them, really looking forward to the Rose Bowl 4. starting off with bloody marys and then we'll go from there


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Not giving his DC enough [Body]

Output: Not giving his DC enough freedom to install his own staff. I'm with that. I kind of feel like he's been set up to fail so either let GR get his own staff and run a scheme he's comfortable with or bring in someone new and don't make the same mistake twice. Either way I'd like to see the 3-3-5 scheme go.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Body] An old friend of mine designed the course. Pretty cool! [Title]

Output: friend designed it


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 11 hours ago [Body] It is my goal to bike across the lower 48 within the next 10 years. I won't mind taking the time off to do it. Potential employers (and current for me) would see that as a positive that a very small proportion of society ever contemplates. It speaks to your character. I think it's common to take 1 month minimum which is still nearly 100 miles per day. Even more optimistic would be to race in the Race Across America - goes from San Diego to Atlantic City, NJ and you only get 12 days 2 hrs. Winners typically do it in 8 days. It's crazy. [Title]

Output: My goal


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I've wanted Miles here for a while. I'd love to see it. [Title]

Output: count me in


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Body] I'm glad to get that right finally. It must have been a rumor back in the day that I still remember as being "correct." [Title]

Output: Thanks


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Body] I'm pretty sure this was the 2nd Ultimate Warrior... the first one died shortly after taking over the spotlight way back when. True, yes? Weird! [Title]

Output: #2


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Body] Very well put! And let's not forget that an OC worth his salt can adapt his offense to the players he's got. Michigan has a terrific athlete in Devin Gardner. I hope Nuss can take advantage of Devin's talents. [Title]

Output: Indeed


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] I'd rather they play a better opponent becuase Michigan seems to play up or down to the competition. It'll be a close game. Michigan plays terribly out west. Michigan probably loses in annoying fashion. I wish I had reasons to make me feel otherwise. Still, you can bet your ass I'll be watching and cheering on my team and HOPING for something good. [Title]

Output: I don't feel great about it


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] Poop, I thought I had that right. Thanks for correcting. I'll have to check out that book as well... sounds great. [Title]

Output: Poop, I thought I had that


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Body] I work next door (museums annex... also to be torn down) and will also have to relocate. The reason both buildings are going is they are building another biology/science building. Ruthven will be renovated into new "pay to play" labs. This area will look quite different. [Title]

Output: new times


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Body] Cadel seems to be riding very well this year... I think he'll be in stronger contention than he was last year. Cadel is the team leader so they'll ride for him. It could get interesting later in the race though. I have a feeling that if last year were to repeat itself, Cadel would have his team support TVG and go for the podium. [Title]

Output: Cadel seems to be riding very


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Body] Definitely expecting an awesome Tour this year. Lots of big guns are back (though Wiggins is out again) and the course is fricking amazing. A mountain-top finish on the penultimate stage (versus the usual TT) will be very cool, especially if the GC is a close call. I'm very excited for le Tour to begin in case it wasn't apparent! [Title]

Output: Definitely expecting an


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Body] Wow, that kid is fast. I would absolutely love it if the kid chose Michigan... but I'm with Ace and don't think we'll see him leave Louisiana for Ann Arbor. Let's hope I'm wrong! [Title]

Output: Wow, that kid is fast. I


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Body] I just watched "An Unexpected Journey" last night! [Title]

Output: Awesome timing!


Input: [Date] 2 years 29 weeks ago [Body] I honestly can see them winning all of those games next year... as long as they play sound, disciplined football. [Title]

Output: 12-0


Input: [Date] 2 years 38 weeks ago [Body] But man it's going to be against one of Georgia, Florida, S. or LSU. Shit, I hope Michigan has ALL of their players back and fully healthy for that one! [Title]

Output: Cap one perhaps


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Or amazing, however you want to look at it. I thought he was severly concussed after that hit. He couldn't even stand on his own. I really hope, for his sake, that there's no Tomfoolery going on with the coaching staff and doctors so they will clear him to play. In all honesty though, it's great he's been cleared as that would indicate that there's nothing wrong. I hate to see those players get hurt, no matter who they play for. [Title]

Output: It does seem odd


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] is the biggest mystery to me. I thought for sure they'd get dropped out of the rankings this week. Both Texas and WVU got their asses handed to them in both losses. The Big Ten rep is the reason for Michigan being ranked where they are... but I do NOT think those two teams should be ranked ahead of UM. Just annoying. [Title]

Output: This one...


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] These players seem to have a great focus each week. No let down against Purdue or Illinois even after each game became a sure victory. I see this game playing out a lot like last year's game at Illinois. You never really felt like Illinois would win because the defense kept shutting them down. Eventually, Michigan's offense will put up a bunch of points and put the game out of reach. Lincoln at night... I don't see that as being enough for Nebraska to beat Michigan this year. [Title]

Output: Yes, win indeed


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Body] It's already been delayed one day... and now another. Well, you can sign up for alerts if you still want to watch it live. Hopefully it'll happen within the next couple of days. [Title]

Output: Crap


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Michigan 28 Notre Dame 20 [Title]

Output: Michigan wins


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Body] Even before this game I thought 9-3 would be about right. They do have depth back there and I think they'll turn into a good unit once again. We just have to hope they don't lose any more starters. And I'm not convinced that ND or Neb are losses by any stretch. [Title]

Output: I agree


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Body] I used this site to watch The Game last year and it worked out well. I recommend it... it's also free. [Title]

Output: justin.tv


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Body] I will get behind Hoke's decision either way on this one. But it bothers me how everyone is so quick to be judge, jury, and executioner. I really don't think it will be a huge difference if Fitz is not playing. I think Rawls will stand in quite well. [Title]

Output: Actually, I agree with you


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Body] What if this had happened back in January? Would you still sit him or would he have served his penalty during those months? And how long does it take to work off that mistake? Will he be benched because this was a recent mistake? Sitting a game is not the only penalty, that's my point. Also, I appreciate the snark and sarcasm. For the record, I do have an advanced degree from U of M... I have a LOT of pride in that accomplishment and I do feel that we as UM students and grads have a higher standard to uphold. I just don't necessarily agree with you all about sitting Fitz. Whatever Coach Hoke decides is the right choice in my opinion. As for MilkSteak, a shower will make you clean again after the victory in Dallas. :0) [Title]

Output: Someone else made a good point


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Body] Someone that has thought this out a bit more than just saying, "We are Michigan and we are morally superior to everyone else." Thanks for that. I was beginning to think I was the only one. [Title]

Output: Wow good point
