Output: He probably needed to sit out a year anyway given his injuries so this really isn't a problem. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Yea I get that [Body]

Output: I guess I was just expecting more rational behavior from people who themselves are coaches and who should have at least some interest in having the kid go to class and succed academically. Partically when high school coaches themselves have had to deal with their own players not making it academically. You would think they would be more understanding then the typical parent. Then again, Ted Ginn, sr. seemed to have a similar reaction when Carr rightly disciplined one of his players so maybe I am just giving high school coaches too much credit.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Does anyone know what caused the apparent rift [Body]

Output: between the King coaches and Michigan? If it is simply the Norfleet situation then I don't really understand how the King coaches could be upset with the Michigan staff disciplining a kid who was allegedly not going to class or missing tests.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Wow. I would not want [Body]

Output: James Harrison mad at me.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Can we please just start the season [Body]

Output: so much nonsense being discussed in the media. I can't wait for actual football that we can discuss.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Hope you are right [Body]

Output: Ruddock should definitely be an upgrade. The jury is still out on Isaac IMO. I just think the loss of Funchess puts this year at a disadvantage, but I would be happy to be wrong. Even if I am right we should be a more consistent offense given the OL maturation and hopefully better coaching. I can just forsee a lot of 17-14 and 20-17 games.

Input: [Date] 32 weeks 1 day ago [Title] If he tweeted that after the [Body]

Output: If he tweeted that after the thing about the 49ers being 7-4, he has since deleted that, as well. I couldn't find it.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Maybe he didn't like how he [Body]

Output: Maybe he didn't like how he phrased his response. It's not easy when people are picking apart every single word used in 140 character bursts, and looking for positive signals or something that suggests a lack of credibility.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I suggested to him that the [Body]

Output: I suggested to him that the 49ers would have been 7-4 at the time of these alleged initial discussions. He responded that it might explain why interest was low at that point. I responded again that it would have been an distraction (with Harbaugh reasonably focused on making the playoffs). He deleted his response to me. I'm not sure why. I always find that odd.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Brian has cited him in some [Body]

Output: Brian has cited him in some of the coaching search updates. Moss has been around a long time. He has some sources. This isn't totally random internet rumormongering.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I think he first tweeted that [Body]

Output: I think he first tweeted that day that the press conference would be held and that Brandon would be fired. It beat everyone else. It wasn't a random guess. And, he's not really in that business, from what I can tell. That said, I'm not the guy who you mock for buying every internet rumor that comes along. I totally get the skepticism. And, I don't care what you all believe. I'm just saying that the salt that goes with this report in particular should probably be of the grain and not the boulder variety.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm not saying he's right [Body]

Output: I'm not saying he's right about this, but I think he had Brandon's firing before anyone else. Brian might vouch for that.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I think you are reading too [Body]

Output: I think you are reading too much into it. Read the next sentence after he mentioned bowl games: "They may be in bowl games. They may be…you know, wherever they are in their status..." I don't think you can make any judgment at all about a pool of candidats limited to college coaches based on that statement.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 4 days ago [Title] This probably wasn't intended [Body]

Output: This probably wasn't intended to be a diary, but I'll just point out that it seems unlikely to me that Harbaugh would be stupid enough to go to Miami given the acrimony in that front office. Have you read the backstory on Aponte? It doesn't sound like she's going anywhere, and if that's true, Harbaugh would be jumping from one bad situation to another. I'm not sure even Ross's money could paper that over.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Great. Well, then the [Body]

Output: Great. Well, then the problem was either provider-specific (which AT&T denied) or it was an issue in certain pockets of the city.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 4 days ago [Title] There was a problem with the [Body]

Output: There was a problem with the broadcast in the Atlanta area (and possibly others). They screwed up the regional coverage such that ABC and ESPN2 were both showing Texas A&M vs. SMU. This continued until some point in the 3rd quarter when the complaints must have finally bubbled up to the people who fix these sorts of things. At that point, the UM game became available on ESPN2.

Output: For what reason do they need to travel around the country and "get the former players pumped up?" I'm not being a smartass. I really don't see why it's necessary. I'm not saying they need to spend all of their time watching film like has been suggested above.

Input: [Date] 4 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Butler lost two starters and [Body]

Output: Butler lost two starters and they were pretty important. Gordon Heyward was their best player and a lottery pick in last year's NBA draft. Willie Veasley (who now plays in Japan) was a critical defender that, like Heyward, could guard almost anyone. Their struggles early this season were almost entirely related to defense. They've found a way to make up for those losses.

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Punch the idiot ump for not overturning on replay too [Body]

Output: It was clearly going to clear the yellow line without the fan interference. Seriously, what in the flying fuck is going on with replay reviews this year? There have been quite a few calls that should have overturned. The only thing that I can think of is that the replay ump is protecting his fellow umps, by letting some of these calls stand.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] The Tigers are just not an intelligent team at the plate [Body]

Output: Game ending double play was the perfect example of that. JD should have been looking for a pitch up to at least get the tying run in, instead he stupidly swings at a pitch low in the zone on the very first pitch. He should have elimated the low pitch as something he would not swing at before even going to the plate. There is a reason why this team is somehow is at the top in OBP( which actually could be higher if they took more walks) and BA, but in the bottom half of the AL in runs scored. They are just awful at using their heads at the plate, with regards to situational hitting. The added speed is going to waste, because they don't do the little things to scratch out runs. Hate to say it, but barring a move or two at the deadline and V-Mart turning into last year's version, the window might have already closed.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Have we been watching the same game ? [Body]

Output: The Wings actually have more scoring chances than TB, they have played far better today than in game one.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Actually feel better about this series after today [Body]

Output: It is strange to say down 4-0, but the play has been pretty even today in terms of chances. In game one the Wings didn't look like they belonged on the ice with TB, despite the win.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Title] They have played much better [Body]

Output: They have carried the play at times, unfortunately one of those strange games where the scoreboard tells a different story.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Title] That is fucking bullshit [Body]

Output: How the hell did the Red Wings get an extra penalty out of that? TB started the whole thing.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 12 hours ago [Title] All the prosecution had to prove is that he was there [Body]

Output: Under the law they have, whether he pulled the trigger or not didn't matter. Admitting he was there was actually a idiotic move on the part of the defense, given that fact.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Somebody in the other thread said these were [Body]

Output: the same officials from the title game against Louisville. Is that true? If it is, what in the fuck were these jokers doing near another title game?


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Didn't catch the names of the officials [Body]

Output: Are they really the same ones, who officiated the title game against Louisville? If so, they have possibly cost two teams national titles. They should have been nowhere near a title game after the previous one.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Tigers should still be the favorite in the division [Body]

Output: Even with the question marks and the improvement of the Sox, they still have the most starpower in the division. The Royals lost some key pieces, and the Indians will still have the same flaws they had last year. The combination of Cabrera, Martinez, Martinez, and Cespedes could be the best 3-6 in the game and will be very difficult for opposing pitchers to deal with. The one and two combination of Price and a healthy Anibal Sanchez at the top of the rotation, regardless of what happens with Verlander is still top notch. I think non-Tiger fans underestimate Sanchez, the guy was the ERA champion in the AL two years ago. The bullpen, Verlander's performance/health and other question marks like the leadoff spot against righties might keep this team from reaching it's ultimate goal again, though.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 6 days ago [Title] True [Body]

Output: The foul that was called on the wrong Louisville player and should have fouled Hancock out of the game was arguably even worse.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Was not able to watch the game [Body]

Output: 16 free throw attempts to 2, and 13 fouls to 5 seems pretty slanted. Looking at the box score it looks like they outplayed or at least matched Wisconsin in most areas, shot a higher percentage and made more field goals. Like I said I wasn't able to watch, so I don't know if the officiating was as one sided as it appears, but I would hate if a team with as much heart as this one had their NCAA dreams ended, due in part to bulllshit.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Counterpoints [Body]

Output: 1. Stanford was an absolute wreck before Harbaugh arrived, even a great recruiter would not be able to walk into that place and bring in top 10 recruiting classes. Stanford's recruiting classes in 2009 and 2010 (after he had established himself) were both significantly better than anything Stanford had brought in prior to Harbaugh arriving. Before arriving at Stanford he was also not on most people's radar as a great coach, that is clearly not the case this time around. Given the fact that Hoke and his staff were able to bring in a couple of top 10 classes I think you are being somewhat delusional, if you don't think a guy with Harbaugh's pedigree and his staff can't do the same. 2. You can win with any style. Harbaugh didn't have Alabama like talent at Stanford either, but that didn't stop him from going 12-1 in his final year. Offense regardless of what a team runs still ultimately comes down to execution and having a good gameplan. Acting as though a defense can't slow down a spread offense with a good gameplan and execution is also silly. You are also assuming that Harbaugh is more rigid than he actually is, his teams at Stanford while being heavy pro style also utilized some spread elements and SF was also one of the first teams in the NFL to start using the pistol. Harbaugh is not Hoke, his staff will call the game in the manner that it takes to win. 3. If he wins more games than the previous two HC's here none of that will matter. Winning solves everything. I am also not sure where you getting that he wore out his welcome at Stanford to an unfathomable degree, he left for he thought was a better job. Do you really think Stanford would not have wanted him back? He led them to a level of success, which was a pipe dream before he arrived


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] Was going to point that out too [Body]

Output: Saying Miller didn't win a title is little disengeous when he quarterbacked a team that went undefeated and would have played for the national title (and been favored), without the sanctions.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] The difference in the national title game wasn't QB play [Body]

Output: Mariotta statistically had a good day, the difference was Ohio State's offensive and defensive lines controlling the run game. Maybe from a injury standpoint there might be an advantage to having a bigger QB, but I don't think it is a requirement to match up against physical defenses. Having a physical RB and o-line is what matters for combating a physical defense.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] I don't care what system he was playing in [Body]

Output: 59 total tds to only 6 turnovers is ridiculous. That is the best ratio in the history of college football. Regardless of how QB friendly Oregon's offense is, it's not like just any QB could put up those numbers. Arm strength isn't everything, if it was the Tim Couch's and Ryan Leaf's of the world would not have been NFL busts. Intelliegence and decision making can make up for not having the best arm strength. I am not sure how he will turn out, but he has the intelligence to learn a more NFL oriented scheme.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Exactly, this team didn't really need more free-swinging power [Body]

Output: They needed am everyday guy who could hit 1 or 2 ( Aoki for example, who played with KC last year) and help in the bullpen. They still have time to get bullpen help, though.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Are you assuming they resign Scherzer? [Body]

Output: Because if they don't that outcome would be a moot point since there is no way that Greene can offset the loss of Scherzer. Once again, we are back to the same conclusion, that this team at best is not any better than last year's team that wasn't good enough.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Krol was never a valuable piece of that trade in the first place [Body]

Output: Scouts had him pegged as fringe major league type of guy, who most likely would only stick in long relief. Not a surprise that is what he turned out to be. They absolutely did not get enough Fister.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Gose and Davis are not ideal 1 or 2 type of hitters [Body]

Output: Speed isn't the only component. Neither guy get's on base at a high enough clip to be a great option. Gose doesn't hit for a high enough average and Davis rarely walks. Not to mention Kinsler being a huge question mark, considering how awful he was offensively in the second half.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Not a fan of this offseason so far [Body]

Output: There is no way that losing Scherzer (assuming he isn't resigned) and Porcello from the rotation will lead to this being a better team next year, even with the addition of Cespedes, Simon, and a hopefully healthy Iglasias Not a fan of Cespedes at all, free swinger to the bone on team that already didn't take enough walks last year. He had an OBP lower than Hunter's last year. Complete one trick pony at the plate, all or nothing. His defense is really the area that will provide a significant upgrade over Hunter's production from the last two years. They still haven't done squat to bolster the bullpen, assuming Simon and Greene are in the rotation. As others have said you give up valuable trade pieces in the Simon trade for a journeymen, who fell apart in the second half of the year last year.They still don't have a legitimate number 1 or 2 type of hitter either, Kinsler was awful in the second half of the year last year, and neither Davis or Gose are 1 or 2 type of hitters. Barring any significant move (resigning Scherzer or James Shields) I don't see how anybody could argue that this team has gotten any better and they weren't good enough last year. The window may be shut at this point.

Output: Do you really believe all of those teams were faster, stronger or more talented?


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Harbaugh could resign if he doesn't like the trade options [Body]

Output: SF doesn't have to fire him in order for him to consider UM.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Bill Snyder of KSU is 75 [Body]

Output: I really don't see issue some people seem to have with Les Miles and his age. If Les is still passionate about coaching I don't think his age should be that big of a deal. I would prefer Harbaugh like anybody else, but Les is a good back up option with a track record of success if UM doesn't land Jim. Edit: This commented was directed at Brody's posts earlier in the thread about not wanting Miles due to his age.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Do not understand the comments in this thread [Body]

Output: The reality is the Tigers may need to overpay for Victor if they have to, because otherwise if they lose him and Scherzer they are simply not going to be a contender next year. The window will shut on the Tigers if they lose both of those guys,and don't replace them.

Could be us, could be USC, as "rumor" has it they sent a bunch of coaches out to visit Max Redfield while LM3 was on his OV. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 38 weeks ago [Body] In regards to Treadwell, what do you think happens? He's narrowed down to five. He's visited Ole' Miss already & by all accounts hasn't said anything to the effect that they are his leader. MSU has never been talked about as a threat. He has yet to visit OU & OkSU. Where do you think he ends up? Could it be that he doesn't want to pull a Conley/Dawson and wants to take his time with his decision? I'd rather he do that then half-heartedly commit and subsquently break his commitment. I think that we are his leaders and will continue to think that until I see something that truely shows otherwise. [Title]

Output: Don

Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] VSB, just observations made by Lorenz and some others. Point being, if Dawson hadn't committed so early before he knew what was out there, we'd def be in the hunt for his services right now. As it is, the team and Dawson have "mutually" parted ways. What LaQuan and Green are doing is better for all parties involved. [Title]

Output: VSB, just observations made


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] I'd rather have Green and Treadwell take their time and be sure about their decision than have a situation like Dawson or potentially Conley. I feel really bad for David as it looks like our staff initiated the split and now, if he decides he doesn't like UF or any other SEC teams the door is no longer open for him. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 7 weeks ago [Body] I played in a pickup game with him in the summer of 2000 in Ann Arbor. He was the best player I have played with by far and I think throwing him an alley oop was the highlight of my summer.. Seeing how great he was in a pick up game made me feel that much worse when I had to watch him suffer through those awful seasons at UM. [Title]

Output: I played in a pickup game


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Well done sir. On another note, does anyone know if this game will be replayed? I checked ESPN Classic and BTN but it is not on the schedule for this week. Is that because the game was on NBC? I'd really like to record this. [Title]

Output: Well done sir. On another


Input: [Date] 4 years 48 weeks ago [Body] Whoa whoa whoa whoa....Hang on a second. As someone who lived in Dayton for 25 years, watched Gregory many times at UD games and know former players of his I can tell you this would be a terrible idea. Just awfull. I like the guy as a person, he's a decent recruiter, but he can't coach. During the games he is always coaching his players, every second of the game. Compared to say Bobby Knight who during games, sits back and watches his players play. You coach during pratice, not during the game. [Title]

Output: Whoa whoa whoa whoa....Hang


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Body] What ever gives us the best chance of winning. IF this is infact true there is a reason behind it. The coaches wouldn't be doing this just to appease Denard to stay around. If more Denard in the mix gives us the edge, lets do it. We can all stop freaking out [Title]

Output: What ever gives us the best


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] If anyone in cbus or knows someone in cbus could check out the Key Building downtown that would be great. Im just suprised they put it on our building, being that Key has a heavy presence in the state of Michigan. Why alienate a lot of your customers. Thats why I am skeptical if it is real or not. [Title]

Output: Confirmation on this being real???


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] Can anyone confirm if this is real, and not Photoshopped? Being that Iam an employee of Key Bank and UM fan, someone is going to hear about this.... and not in a good way. Can anyone confirm that this is a REAL and CURRENT photo?? Thanks [Title]

Output: Confirmation on this being real???


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 1 day ago [Body] It was clearly going to clear the yellow line without the fan interference. Seriously, what in the flying fuck is going on with replay reviews this year? There have been quite a few calls that should have overturned. The only thing that I can think of is that the replay ump is protecting his fellow umps, by letting some of these calls stand. [Title]

Output: Punch the idiot ump for not overturning on replay too


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Game ending double play was the perfect example of that. JD should have been looking for a pitch up to at least get the tying run in, instead he stupidly swings at a pitch low in the zone on the very first pitch. He should have elimated the low pitch as something he would not swing at before even going to the plate. There is a reason why this team is somehow is at the top in OBP( which actually could be higher if they took more walks) and BA, but in the bottom half of the AL in runs scored. They are just awful at using their heads at the plate, with regards to situational hitting. The added speed is going to waste, because they don't do the little things to scratch out runs. Hate to say it, but barring a move or two at the deadline and V-Mart turning into last year's version, the window might have already closed. [Title]

Output: The Tigers are just not an intelligent team at the plate


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] The Wings actually have more scoring chances than TB, they have played far better today than in game one. [Title]

Output: Have we been watching the same game ?


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] It is strange to say down 4-0, but the play has been pretty even today in terms of chances. In game one the Wings didn't look like they belonged on the ice with TB, despite the win. [Title]

Output: Actually feel better about this series after today


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] They have carried the play at times, unfortunately one of those strange games where the scoreboard tells a different story. [Title]

Output: They have played much better


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] How the hell did the Red Wings get an extra penalty out of that? TB started the whole thing. [Title]

Output: That is fucking bullshit


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 12 hours ago [Body] Under the law they have, whether he pulled the trigger or not didn't matter. Admitting he was there was actually a idiotic move on the part of the defense, given that fact. [Title]

Output: All the prosecution had to prove is that he was there


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Body] the same officials from the title game against Louisville. Is that true? If it is, what in the fuck were these jokers doing near another title game? [Title]

Output: Somebody in the other thread said these were


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Are they really the same ones, who officiated the title game against Louisville? If so, they have possibly cost two teams national titles. They should have been nowhere near a title game after the previous one. [Title]

Output: Didn't catch the names of the officials


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Even with the question marks and the improvement of the Sox, they still have the most starpower in the division. The Royals lost some key pieces, and the Indians will still have the same flaws they had last year. The combination of Cabrera, Martinez, Martinez, and Cespedes could be the best 3-6 in the game and will be very difficult for opposing pitchers to deal with. The one and two combination of Price and a healthy Anibal Sanchez at the top of the rotation, regardless of what happens with Verlander is still top notch. I think non-Tiger fans underestimate Sanchez, the guy was the ERA champion in the AL two years ago. The bullpen, Verlander's performance/health and other question marks like the leadoff spot against righties might keep this team from reaching it's ultimate goal again, though. [Title]

Output: Tigers should still be the favorite in the division


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 6 days ago [Body] The foul that was called on the wrong Louisville player and should have fouled Hancock out of the game was arguably even worse. [Title]

Output: True


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 5 days ago [Body] 16 free throw attempts to 2, and 13 fouls to 5 seems pretty slanted. Looking at the box score it looks like they outplayed or at least matched Wisconsin in most areas, shot a higher percentage and made more field goals. Like I said I wasn't able to watch, so I don't know if the officiating was as one sided as it appears, but I would hate if a team with as much heart as this one had their NCAA dreams ended, due in part to bulllshit. [Title]

Output: Was not able to watch the game


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 4 days ago [Body] 1. Stanford was an absolute wreck before Harbaugh arrived, even a great recruiter would not be able to walk into that place and bring in top 10 recruiting classes. Stanford's recruiting classes in 2009 and 2010 (after he had established himself) were both significantly better than anything Stanford had brought in prior to Harbaugh arriving. Before arriving at Stanford he was also not on most people's radar as a great coach, that is clearly not the case this time around. Given the fact that Hoke and his staff were able to bring in a couple of top 10 classes I think you are being somewhat delusional, if you don't think a guy with Harbaugh's pedigree and his staff can't do the same. 2. You can win with any style. Harbaugh didn't have Alabama like talent at Stanford either, but that didn't stop him from going 12-1 in his final year. Offense regardless of what a team runs still ultimately comes down to execution and having a good gameplan. Acting as though a defense can't slow down a spread offense with a good gameplan and execution is also silly. You are also assuming that Harbaugh is more rigid than he actually is, his teams at Stanford while being heavy pro style also utilized some spread elements and SF was also one of the first teams in the NFL to start using the pistol. Harbaugh is not Hoke, his staff will call the game in the manner that it takes to win. 3. If he wins more games than the previous two HC's here none of that will matter. Winning solves everything. I am also not sure where you getting that he wore out his welcome at Stanford to an unfathomable degree, he left for he thought was a better job. Do you really think Stanford would not have wanted him back? He led them to a level of success, which was a pipe dream before he arrived [Title]

Output: Counterpoints


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 9 hours ago [Body] Saying Miller didn't win a title is little disengeous when he quarterbacked a team that went undefeated and would have played for the national title (and been favored), without the sanctions. [Title]

Output: Was going to point that out too


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 9 hours ago [Body] Mariotta statistically had a good day, the difference was Ohio State's offensive and defensive lines controlling the run game. Maybe from a injury standpoint there might be an advantage to having a bigger QB, but I don't think it is a requirement to match up against physical defenses. Having a physical RB and o-line is what matters for combating a physical defense. [Title]

Output: The difference in the national title game wasn't QB play


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 9 hours ago [Body] 59 total tds to only 6 turnovers is ridiculous. That is the best ratio in the history of college football. Regardless of how QB friendly Oregon's offense is, it's not like just any QB could put up those numbers. Arm strength isn't everything, if it was the Tim Couch's and Ryan Leaf's of the world would not have been NFL busts. Intelliegence and decision making can make up for not having the best arm strength. I am not sure how he will turn out, but he has the intelligence to learn a more NFL oriented scheme. [Title]

Output: I don't care what system he was playing in


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Body] They needed am everyday guy who could hit 1 or 2 ( Aoki for example, who played with KC last year) and help in the bullpen. They still have time to get bullpen help, though. [Title]

Output: Exactly, this team didn't really need more free-swinging power


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Because if they don't that outcome would be a moot point since there is no way that Greene can offset the loss of Scherzer. Once again, we are back to the same conclusion, that this team at best is not any better than last year's team that wasn't good enough. [Title]

Output: Are you assuming they resign Scherzer?


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Scouts had him pegged as fringe major league type of guy, who most likely would only stick in long relief. Not a surprise that is what he turned out to be. They absolutely did not get enough Fister. [Title]

Output: Krol was never a valuable piece of that trade in the first place


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Speed isn't the only component. Neither guy get's on base at a high enough clip to be a great option. Gose doesn't hit for a high enough average and Davis rarely walks. Not to mention Kinsler being a huge question mark, considering how awful he was offensively in the second half. [Title]

Output: Gose and Davis are not ideal 1 or 2 type of hitters


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Body] There is no way that losing Scherzer (assuming he isn't resigned) and Porcello from the rotation will lead to this being a better team next year, even with the addition of Cespedes, Simon, and a hopefully healthy Iglasias Not a fan of Cespedes at all, free swinger to the bone on team that already didn't take enough walks last year. He had an OBP lower than Hunter's last year. Complete one trick pony at the plate, all or nothing. His defense is really the area that will provide a significant upgrade over Hunter's production from the last two years. They still haven't done squat to bolster the bullpen, assuming Simon and Greene are in the rotation. As others have said you give up valuable trade pieces in the Simon trade for a journeymen, who fell apart in the second half of the year last year.They still don't have a legitimate number 1 or 2 type of hitter either, Kinsler was awful in the second half of the year last year, and neither Davis or Gose are 1 or 2 type of hitters. Barring any significant move (resigning Scherzer or James Shields) I don't see how anybody could argue that this team has gotten any better and they weren't good enough last year. The window may be shut at this point. [Title]

Output: Not a fan of this offseason so far


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Do you really believe all of those teams were faster, stronger or more talented? [Title]

Output: They lost seven games


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Body] SF doesn't have to fire him in order for him to consider UM. [Title]

Output: Harbaugh could resign if he doesn't like the trade options


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I really don't see issue some people seem to have with Les Miles and his age. If Les is still passionate about coaching I don't think his age should be that big of a deal. I would prefer Harbaugh like anybody else, but Les is a good back up option with a track record of success if UM doesn't land Jim. Edit: This commented was directed at Brody's posts earlier in the thread about not wanting Miles due to his age. [Title]

Output: Bill Snyder of KSU is 75


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 1 day ago [Body] The reality is the Tigers may need to overpay for Victor if they have to, because otherwise if they lose him and Scherzer they are simply not going to be a contender next year. The window will shut on the Tigers if they lose both of those guys,and don't replace them. [Title]

Output: Do not understand the comments in this thread


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Nowhere near the rocking house that it was in the ND UTL game. Understandable, given the circumstances. [Title]

Output: Somewhat dead


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 4 days ago [Body] The coaches not so much. That is the important distinction. [Title]

Output: Still standing with the players


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 4 days ago [Body] When you have QB who can't move and protect himself from big hits, I don't see how that isn't dangerous. Same thing with Morris and his ankle, even before the concussion. [Title]

Output: Disagree


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 4 days ago [Body] About fucking time, idiots. [Title]

Output: Finally switched


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Go fuck yourself, ESPN. [Title]

Output: Just saw this also! Great story!


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I dont see the program going [Body]

Output: I dont see the program going anywhere good this year(duh) but even next year is a head scratcher. I think the attendance numbers for the rest of the year now are really in jeopardy. And nothing forces change more than shit that doesnt sell. And this shit is DEF not gonna sell. My 2 cents. We have some good talent. Just waiting on who can tap the potential

Output: Its funny how everyone crapped on me for saying that McDowell was going to be nothing but a mess....and hey, its a mess!


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Title] I may sound negative by [Body]

Output: I may sound negative by saying this but he just doesnt give me the impression that hes that great of a personality, not like Peppers or Speight or Ferns. He just seems way too easy to be blown around by the wind that I dont know how great a teammate he'd be. He's even got Marshall right next to him on the line and it seems like he could care less. Seems a lot like Denzel Ward w/o the commitments/decommitments in the mental area. All over the road.


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] But other than the legends we [Body]

Output: But other than the legends we have now I dont really think there's any others who stick out to me as having to be a legend. Clearly the 3 Heisman winners get it(although like I said w #2, its the defensive #1) should be retired, and Kramer, Wisterts, Ford, and Oosterban all deserve it. But outside of those I dont really have anyone at Michigan who stick out as dominantly as they do. Obviously #77 is a big deal around here, but its not something to retire. Its the #1 of the OL and demands excellence to be worn. #7 isnt so much a big deal to me other than its a great QB number, but I think #77 is a far bigger deal to an LT than #7 is to a QB. But this is all my opinion though. Id just hate to see current and future players be placed 2nd behind a legend when they themselves could make a new impact to a number.


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] I'm of the opinion now that [Body]

Output: I'm of the opinion now that these legends numbers are going to get annoying REALLY fast. I'd rather see a monster WR wearing the #1(Funchess, who IS a WR) who terrorizes defenses than some number that SHOULD be retired and painted on or etched into some spot to remember it as a Michigan great. But reusing the numbers is so silly in that it never allows for the kids nowadays to make a name/number for themselves. All the numbers we have as legends now should be retired, and the only exception to these numbers is Woodson's #2. I'll never forget watching him take the punt back on OSU when I was a small child, and I know Mr. Peppers mentioned that he would love to wear that number also, but i would look at wearing #2 on defense as the equivalent to the #1 on offense.

Output: At least copper is a somewhat valuable metal??


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] I think I heard you say this [Body]

Output: I think I heard you say this at some point before while kinda addressing this issue before, you said something about it being your site. And thats just the thing, it is your site. I have my own site for my business and I love owning it. But not everyone in the world is a good person, we hear about the bad ones on the news all the time, internet trolls are a different form of those bad people and theres really only one thing they deserve. To be cut off from everyone else and void of sympathy. I know you care about the site a lot and it is your well-being after all, but most of us wont care if you banhammer a select few who really deserve it. Just take care of the site, I love reading it, so give the people you dont want around here the big middle finger and forget about them. I for one would rather read posts about the state of UM sports things and happenings than I would something like this about the douchers of the world. But it happens. I support MGoBlog and have it on RSS. Keep doing what you do. Same with the rest of the staff.

Output: I resigned my caring at halftime of the Akron game. I even apologized to the girl i took to the game out of embarrasment of the product on the field. A hangover after ND wouldve only been a quarter at most...not the half. I saw us getting beat up by kids who should have no business even standing toe to toe with us giving the talent we have. Glad i stopped caring then, saved me alot of heartache.


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] you go tell your D that the O [Body]

Output: 45 yards in the 2nd half....


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] Ya man you got your head [Body]

Output: Ya man you got your head buried way deep in the ground if your that harsh on the D. Put yourself in the shoes of the D, how would you feel if you worked your ass off and gave the offense all those golden opportunities and got nothing back from it? You'd prolly be pretty pissed/disheartened. But of course I could be totally wrong, you yourself could be one of the welches who disheartens others.

Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Score [Body]

Output: That just seems like a pessimistic score to me from a UM fan perspective. From the way the team has been starting to gel and Borges' play calling as of late I'd say UM has a formidible advantage regardless of the game being in AA. I went to the tOSU @ MSU game a few weeks back and they're none too impressive in person. If Sims is out who else do they have that is a threat in the recieving core? Maxwell isnt exactly Cousins this year and they REALLY miss Cunningham and Martin. I mean they only scored 16 on tOSU's defense which then gave up 49 to Indiana. Indiana fergodsakes!! Which I know on this site you like to poke fun at Indiana and Minnesota for forgetting that they have football programs lol! Anyways it just seems to me if we can do what we did vs ND(minus the turnover-fest) then we should be feeling pretty good. We walked all over ND before shooting ourselves repeatedly in the foot.

Output: He's played since 2nd grade. I did buy him a very nice Riddell Speed helmet for his varsity campaign. I figure the sport is or will evolve - as all sports should - around the concussion issue.


Input: [Date] 3 days 17 hours ago [Title] That hopefully is [Body]

Output: bulletin board material. That game / moment was one of many embarrassments last year. Not sure if the players ever get anything but a clinical play by play view of each game, versus the big picture feel, but watching the television version of every one should have been required before spring practice. (Net: if that was ok to you / it was just a few key blocks or coverage corrections, have a nice life. If you are embarrassed and angry, and this eats at the competitor in you, you're in.)

Output: Wasn't 1984 the 6-6 Jimmy broke his arm season? I was there / suspect the wave became popular because Bo was still in his pre-passing phase, and the cloud of dust games got pretty boring. We didn't put 40 on the board that season:http://bentley.umich.edu/athdept/football/fbteam/1984fbt.htm


Input: [Date] 1 week 13 hours ago [Title] I agree that it sucks for the players [Body]

Output: that all their prior contribution is out the window. (Would like to know the context behind the "bummed" and the fill in to why considered other options.) Everything I have seen from Harbaugh tells me he is looking for ultra-competitive guys who live and breath competing every day: no laurels. Another example: the camp promotional material changed from "come and learn skills", to "come and compete". It's like the Marines: "we're looking for a few good men". I think both points of view are OK. Especially considering the last two season's records in the coaches' case.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Alabama ' s Student Season Tickets [Body]

Output: Sold out in 5 minutes. There was a lot of angst from those who slept in or who's mom didn't sign in right away. Of course they are $10 a game so the only real skin a student has in the game is the ability to buy season tickets the next year. (If you don't attend or someone doesn't attend in your place, you can't buy season tickets the next year.)

Output: and a soda (pop) or bottle of water. Ticket prices aren't so bad (as demonstrated by their ultimate free market value on stubhub in a good year). It's the PSDs and concessions that really lay the gouge on the wallet.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] Like we didn't have labs to do, [Body]

Output: or exams to cram for? We even had to use this thing called a typewriter to type the final version of our papers - if you screwed up or wanted to make a changed - you had to re-type every page after the change (freshman year, my sophomore roommate had an Apple IIe). Those demands haven't changed. I don't think that's it. I am betting the fact that you can watch every Michigan game on TV has a lot more to do with it. There was a time when only two or three a season were televised, and those were ND or another big non-conference game (Miami, Colorado, Washington), Ohio State and whoever the hot Little 8 team was that year: the games you wanted to be at live. Between the convenience of staying at home for snoozers, and the slowed pace of the live experience, ESPN and BTN are why there is a less compelling reason to go to games.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] However, as your kids get older, [Body]

Output: and you have time to actually ponder about an identity other than "dad", then you may find a resurgence in interest. As all things Michigan seem to be a big part of your (WD's) identity, you'll gravitate back. So all is not lost with kids my friend.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] Because we were elated [Body]

Output: Michigan was winning, even against teams like #1 ranked Miami (YTM), Michigan State and Ohio State. (Sadly this is a forgotten experience of late - so the concept of wild elation is probably foreign or abstract.)


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] Yeah, but can it teach [Body]

Output: someone to block?


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Could have just posted the picture [Body]

Output: but the write-up was great too - if one enjoys regretting what could have been ...


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Eh - I think it is way more competitive now [Body]

Output: than it was. My oldest son just graduated, and we compared my grades and GPA in high school to his. To be a competitive college applicant, he had to take a much harder schedule than I did, including 8 AP courses. His weighted GPA was a full point higher, but his unweighted GPA was just slightly lower than mine, and he was a full 5% further out in class rank. His SAT score was 200 points higher than mine. (I think part of the difference in test scores is better prep-books / practice tests, and his AP coursework leading into that third fall senior year final test.) For clarity, I went to high school in Reston in Fairfax County, VA, which at the time was one of the top school districts. He went to one of the top high schools in Wake County, NC. The student body make up is similar. He did not get into his top choice schools (UNC, UGA). My conclusion: while overall grading may be "easier" today, what you have to do to get into a school like Michigan is more difficult. Those that get in completely on merit have been competing at the highest level all through high school, and more kids are competing because parental involvement is higher.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Won't work [Body]

Output: They'll just switch to watching other people play Minecraft on Yogscast ...


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Especially with mixed drinks [Body]

Output: it depends on who makes the drink and how much they pour. If say my dad makes the drink, you're probably getting two+ shots. So you could say / think you had eight drinks, while actually drinking more. Either way, if you've had more than one - maybe two with dinner - that should be your trigger for not driving. No way I'd ever get behind the wheel after 8.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Title] His marketing job is probably to monitor [Body]

Output: social media and try to spin it. He probably hasn't removed everything he was tracking from when he was in the brand machine in Ann Arbor.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Sounds like a mgblue.com [Body]

Output: launch of some type - new content - maybe they are revamping the whole thing.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Then your avatar [Body]

Output: will be out of date. :-(


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Good thing she went to the police first [Body]

Output: I have a positive opinion of Mark Hollis, but starting the investigation before the institution can react in a natural protective manner catches witnesses before they can be influenced.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I only read the OP's post - not the entire article [Body]

Output: I took what he said as applying to all his players - even the smart ones - due to the time and travel commitment all of them have. Even a 4.0 / 1400 SAT type is going to have a lot of challenges and prioritization conflicts during a semester (e.g., a major paper or lab due on Monday and a major exam to study for coming off a Saturday night road game). I think he did a great job saying this in an encompassing way.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Exactly what I tell my teens at the dinner table [Body]

Output: If you are worried about privacy, posting stuff on the internet is like yelling it to the whole world. Once you've done it, everyone can see it. And don't assume those privacy settings actually work the way you think either. If I were the OP, I would edit my post though and take the links out (no need to tempt the rest of us to be stalky without putting some effort into it ...)


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I can't decide on your Nelson analogy though [Body]

Output: was he more zone blocking or not? He had a tendency to pre-brief his captains of the overall strategy, and start an engagement as one line of battle. He had attracted a set of smart, resourceful, like minded followers over the years, and once engaged they were to break the traditional formation, and engage where they saw the most opportunity: "No captain can do very wrong if he places his ship alongside that of the enemy." From that standpoint I don't see pulling guard, I see zone blocking. I'll give you the Essex (which is actually what the movie Master and Commander is modeled on), but the British blockade was more Alabama, versus a good high school JV spread team. We had a few athletes but no line. (Wait - that is what you were saying isn't it?) As for O'Brian and Forrester - they both had books outside there series that were excellent as well. Forrester wrote one about WWII in the Med called The Ship that is excellent, and of course The Good Shepard. Anything by O'Brian is excellent, and can be read several times - especially on those trying days where you just need to escape to another time and place.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] I actually appreciate your post [Body]

Output: Your intent was earnest and constructive. Though it maybe should be META rather than OT .... /s


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 16 hours ago [Title] Could a heavy PC environment [Body]

Output: actually stifle productive discourse on the underlying issues, especially from the "non-offended" point of view? Are only the "offended" allowed to have an open point of view in the conversation? Would not suppressing a point of view have an extending effect on the issue?


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 16 hours ago [Title] Almost all of them [Body]

Output: are white men so fair game /s


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] OK [Body]

Output: Let's just overlook the supposed history of verbal abuse, and not call it domestic violence because she is his aunt and doesn't live domestically with them, would you not say she should be brought up on aggravated assault charges? (Note: I am not commenting from what the law determines as domestic or not - just following Cold War's argument logic.)


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 1 day ago [Title] So you're not [Body]

Output: copacetic about this post


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Yeah, I like this kid already [Body]

Output: He gets Team. Hope his linemen teammates benefit.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Body] It was clearly going to clear the yellow line without the fan interference. Seriously, what in the flying fuck is going on with replay reviews this year? There have been quite a few calls that should have overturned. The only thing that I can think of is that the replay ump is protecting his fellow umps, by letting some of these calls stand. [Title]

Output: Punch the idiot ump for not overturning on replay too


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Game ending double play was the perfect example of that. JD should have been looking for a pitch up to at least get the tying run in, instead he stupidly swings at a pitch low in the zone on the very first pitch. He should have elimated the low pitch as something he would not swing at before even going to the plate. There is a reason why this team is somehow is at the top in OBP( which actually could be higher if they took more walks) and BA, but in the bottom half of the AL in runs scored. They are just awful at using their heads at the plate, with regards to situational hitting. The added speed is going to waste, because they don't do the little things to scratch out runs. Hate to say it, but barring a move or two at the deadline and V-Mart turning into last year's version, the window might have already closed. [Title]

Output: The Tigers are just not an intelligent team at the plate


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Body] The Wings actually have more scoring chances than TB, they have played far better today than in game one. [Title]

Output: Have we been watching the same game ?


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Body] It is strange to say down 4-0, but the play has been pretty even today in terms of chances. In game one the Wings didn't look like they belonged on the ice with TB, despite the win. [Title]

Output: Actually feel better about this series after today


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Body] They have carried the play at times, unfortunately one of those strange games where the scoreboard tells a different story. [Title]

Output: They have played much better


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Body] How the hell did the Red Wings get an extra penalty out of that? TB started the whole thing. [Title]

Output: That is fucking bullshit


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Under the law they have, whether he pulled the trigger or not didn't matter. Admitting he was there was actually a idiotic move on the part of the defense, given that fact. [Title]

Output: All the prosecution had to prove is that he was there


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 4 days ago [Body] the same officials from the title game against Louisville. Is that true? If it is, what in the fuck were these jokers doing near another title game? [Title]

Output: Somebody in the other thread said these were


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Are they really the same ones, who officiated the title game against Louisville? If so, they have possibly cost two teams national titles. They should have been nowhere near a title game after the previous one. [Title]

Output: Didn't catch the names of the officials


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Even with the question marks and the improvement of the Sox, they still have the most starpower in the division. The Royals lost some key pieces, and the Indians will still have the same flaws they had last year. The combination of Cabrera, Martinez, Martinez, and Cespedes could be the best 3-6 in the game and will be very difficult for opposing pitchers to deal with. The one and two combination of Price and a healthy Anibal Sanchez at the top of the rotation, regardless of what happens with Verlander is still top notch. I think non-Tiger fans underestimate Sanchez, the guy was the ERA champion in the AL two years ago. The bullpen, Verlander's performance/health and other question marks like the leadoff spot against righties might keep this team from reaching it's ultimate goal again, though. [Title]

Output: Tigers should still be the favorite in the division


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 1 day ago [Body] The foul that was called on the wrong Louisville player and should have fouled Hancock out of the game was arguably even worse. [Title]

Output: True


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 20 hours ago [Body] 16 free throw attempts to 2, and 13 fouls to 5 seems pretty slanted. Looking at the box score it looks like they outplayed or at least matched Wisconsin in most areas, shot a higher percentage and made more field goals. Like I said I wasn't able to watch, so I don't know if the officiating was as one sided as it appears, but I would hate if a team with as much heart as this one had their NCAA dreams ended, due in part to bulllshit. [Title]

Output: Was not able to watch the game


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 6 days ago [Body] 1. Stanford was an absolute wreck before Harbaugh arrived, even a great recruiter would not be able to walk into that place and bring in top 10 recruiting classes. Stanford's recruiting classes in 2009 and 2010 (after he had established himself) were both significantly better than anything Stanford had brought in prior to Harbaugh arriving. Before arriving at Stanford he was also not on most people's radar as a great coach, that is clearly not the case this time around. Given the fact that Hoke and his staff were able to bring in a couple of top 10 classes I think you are being somewhat delusional, if you don't think a guy with Harbaugh's pedigree and his staff can't do the same. 2. You can win with any style. Harbaugh didn't have Alabama like talent at Stanford either, but that didn't stop him from going 12-1 in his final year. Offense regardless of what a team runs still ultimately comes down to execution and having a good gameplan. Acting as though a defense can't slow down a spread offense with a good gameplan and execution is also silly. You are also assuming that Harbaugh is more rigid than he actually is, his teams at Stanford while being heavy pro style also utilized some spread elements and SF was also one of the first teams in the NFL to start using the pistol. Harbaugh is not Hoke, his staff will call the game in the manner that it takes to win. 3. If he wins more games than the previous two HC's here none of that will matter. Winning solves everything. I am also not sure where you getting that he wore out his welcome at Stanford to an unfathomable degree, he left for he thought was a better job. Do you really think Stanford would not have wanted him back? He led them to a level of success, which was a pipe dream before he arrived [Title]

Output: Counterpoints


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Saying Miller didn't win a title is little disengeous when he quarterbacked a team that went undefeated and would have played for the national title (and been favored), without the sanctions. [Title]

Output: Was going to point that out too


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Mariotta statistically had a good day, the difference was Ohio State's offensive and defensive lines controlling the run game. Maybe from a injury standpoint there might be an advantage to having a bigger QB, but I don't think it is a requirement to match up against physical defenses. Having a physical RB and o-line is what matters for combating a physical defense. [Title]

Output: The difference in the national title game wasn't QB play


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Body] 59 total tds to only 6 turnovers is ridiculous. That is the best ratio in the history of college football. Regardless of how QB friendly Oregon's offense is, it's not like just any QB could put up those numbers. Arm strength isn't everything, if it was the Tim Couch's and Ryan Leaf's of the world would not have been NFL busts. Intelliegence and decision making can make up for not having the best arm strength. I am not sure how he will turn out, but he has the intelligence to learn a more NFL oriented scheme. [Title]

Output: I don't care what system he was playing in


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Body] They needed am everyday guy who could hit 1 or 2 ( Aoki for example, who played with KC last year) and help in the bullpen. They still have time to get bullpen help, though. [Title]

Output: Exactly, this team didn't really need more free-swinging power


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Because if they don't that outcome would be a moot point since there is no way that Greene can offset the loss of Scherzer. Once again, we are back to the same conclusion, that this team at best is not any better than last year's team that wasn't good enough. [Title]

Output: Are you assuming they resign Scherzer?


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Scouts had him pegged as fringe major league type of guy, who most likely would only stick in long relief. Not a surprise that is what he turned out to be. They absolutely did not get enough Fister. [Title]

Output: Krol was never a valuable piece of that trade in the first place


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Speed isn't the only component. Neither guy get's on base at a high enough clip to be a great option. Gose doesn't hit for a high enough average and Davis rarely walks. Not to mention Kinsler being a huge question mark, considering how awful he was offensively in the second half. [Title]

Output: Gose and Davis are not ideal 1 or 2 type of hitters


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Body] There is no way that losing Scherzer (assuming he isn't resigned) and Porcello from the rotation will lead to this being a better team next year, even with the addition of Cespedes, Simon, and a hopefully healthy Iglasias Not a fan of Cespedes at all, free swinger to the bone on team that already didn't take enough walks last year. He had an OBP lower than Hunter's last year. Complete one trick pony at the plate, all or nothing. His defense is really the area that will provide a significant upgrade over Hunter's production from the last two years. They still haven't done squat to bolster the bullpen, assuming Simon and Greene are in the rotation. As others have said you give up valuable trade pieces in the Simon trade for a journeymen, who fell apart in the second half of the year last year.They still don't have a legitimate number 1 or 2 type of hitter either, Kinsler was awful in the second half of the year last year, and neither Davis or Gose are 1 or 2 type of hitters. Barring any significant move (resigning Scherzer or James Shields) I don't see how anybody could argue that this team has gotten any better and they weren't good enough last year. The window may be shut at this point. [Title]

Output: Not a fan of this offseason so far


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Do you really believe all of those teams were faster, stronger or more talented? [Title]

Output: They lost seven games


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Body] SF doesn't have to fire him in order for him to consider UM. [Title]

Output: Harbaugh could resign if he doesn't like the trade options


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I really don't see issue some people seem to have with Les Miles and his age. If Les is still passionate about coaching I don't think his age should be that big of a deal. I would prefer Harbaugh like anybody else, but Les is a good back up option with a track record of success if UM doesn't land Jim. Edit: This commented was directed at Brody's posts earlier in the thread about not wanting Miles due to his age. [Title]

Output: Bill Snyder of KSU is 75


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 3 days ago [Body] The reality is the Tigers may need to overpay for Victor if they have to, because otherwise if they lose him and Scherzer they are simply not going to be a contender next year. The window will shut on the Tigers if they lose both of those guys,and don't replace them. [Title]

Output: Do not understand the comments in this thread


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Nowhere near the rocking house that it was in the ND UTL game. Understandable, given the circumstances. [Title]

Output: Somewhat dead


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Body] The coaches not so much. That is the important distinction. [Title]

Output: Still standing with the players


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Body] When you have QB who can't move and protect himself from big hits, I don't see how that isn't dangerous. Same thing with Morris and his ankle, even before the concussion. [Title]

Output: Disagree


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Body] About fucking time, idiots. [Title]

Output: Finally switched


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Go fuck yourself, ESPN. [Title]

Output: Still on both stations


Input: [Date] 5 years 41 weeks ago [Body] we praise tate whey to earlier and now two weeks in a row we lose.he needs to make better decision and stop holding on to the ball to long.until we beat osu im not sold on him anymore.thats the game he have to win.the big ten title is gone all we can do is play for a good bowl game. [Title]

Output: we praise tate whey to

Output: bg


Input: [Date] 5 years 41 weeks ago [Body] our defense is soft i cant see why they still can not cover who gives up 3rd and 24 for a 1st down.im sick and tired of lossing to teams we know we should beat. [Title]

Output: our defense is soft i cant


Input: [Date] 5 years 41 weeks ago [Body] worst decision rich rod ever made by letting shoelace try to bring us back to try to win the game he doesnt let him pass the ball so why keep him in the game.now two weeks in a row we lost a big game and make another qb look better than he is.im so pissed i live in columbus and these osu fan already running their mouth. [Title]

Output: worst decision rich rod ever


Input: [Date] 5 years 42 weeks ago [Body] greg robinson had four straight losing season as a head coach for the orangemen.we should have kept ron english cause he knows the rivlary games are important. [Title]

Output: greg robinson had four


Input: [Date] 5 years 42 weeks ago [Body] i think if our defense keep playing like they do we are in trouble.we give up to many big plays on defense.msu doesnt have better players than we do,but the way we played we made their qb look like a super star. [Title]

Output: i think if our defense keep

Output: I THINK WE GOT THE WRONG


Input: [Date] 41 min 13 sec ago [Title] I'd definitely take him but [Body]

Output: I'd definitely take him but I'm not sure that it would look good for us to take someone denied by another big ten school but it could be non academic related.


Input: [Date] 48 min 6 sec ago [Title] Agreed. Hopefully we can [Body]

Output: Agreed. Hopefully we can still get Bridges if he wanted to go here. Hopefully we don't get too complacent as other big ten teams are starting to get better recruits and lose our foothold in the league.


Input: [Date] 2 hours 38 min ago [Title] Looks like Dantonio is making [Body]

Output: Looks like Dantonio is making space after cutting ties with a recruit a few days ago and this.


Input: [Date] 14 hours 7 min ago [Title] Best case: We win every game [Body]

Output: Best case: We win every game by 50 enroute to a national championship while Urban Meyer leaves for Utah State. Worst Case: We lose 77-7 to UNLV and go 0-12. Jabrill Peppers breaks his ankle on the first series against Utah and is out for the season. Jim Harbaugh leaves coaching to open a Culvers and we hire co-head coaches of Rich Rod and Brady Hoke.


Input: [Date] 14 hours 11 min ago [Title] I wonder what the Spartan [Body]

Output: I wonder what the Spartan reaction to this is. If Michigan let him back on the team, they would be crying foul.


Input: [Date] 18 hours 2 min ago [Title] Agreed. Women are qualified [Body]

Output: Agreed. Women are qualified enough to coach football but it's going to be hard to find a female who has the experience to do it compared to sports like baseball or basketball where there's a female equivalent in playing it.


Input: [Date] 23 hours 2 min ago [Title] Also, if they did it like in [Body]

Output: Also, if they did it like in past years, the line for Harbaugh might end in Saline.


Input: [Date] 23 hours 6 min ago [Title] I wish the adults could still [Body]

Output: I wish the adults could still get autographs and go but the ebay people ruin it for the genuine Michigan fans.


Input: [Date] 1 day 22 hours ago [Title] 90 percent of Ohio is rolling [Body]

Output: 90 percent of Ohio is rolling farm lands. It's no surprise that they are what they are without another college team and such a big state.


Input: [Date] 2 days 1 hour ago [Title] I think 2015 was a pretty [Body]

Output: I think 2015 was a pretty terrible recruiting class on par with 2011 but 2014 was a relatively good class that just had only 16 players bringing it down.


Input: [Date] 2 days 2 hours ago [Title] August 8th: Upshur [Body]

Output: August 8th: Upshur announcement day


Input: [Date] 2 days 2 hours ago [Title] I'm not sure he has a huge [Body]

Output: I'm not sure he has a huge dislike for Urban Meyer. He just has a huge ego and a need to be a dick to everyone possible at all times.


Input: [Date] 3 days 19 hours ago [Title] Didn't Mattison get guys as [Body]

Output: Didn't Mattison get guys as recent as last year that were pretty good recruits? Harbaugh still has guys he turned into great players on the defensive side like Richard Sherman so I thought it could be a selling point to get at least some 4 stars to commit in the defensive backfield.


Input: [Date] 3 days 19 hours ago [Title] If thats what 93grad was [Body]

Output: If thats what 93grad was saying, it sounds like the typical spin job he does to make us look worse than we actually are. Dantonio has coached for twice as long at MSU than Harbaugh has at Stanford. Of course his accomplishments are going to look better than Harbaugh's college accomplishments given that Harbaugh has only been a college FBS coach for 4 years and was kicking ass in the NFL for half of Dantonio's MSU tenure.


Input: [Date] 3 days 20 hours ago [Title] Dantonio accomplishing more [Body]

Output: Dantonio accomplishing more than Harbaugh. You can't be serious. Our guy has been in the super bowl and went to 3 nfc titles. That is much harder to do than going to one rose bowl and cotton bowl in 8 years coaching.


Input: [Date] 3 days 20 hours ago [Title] Harbaugh would be up there [Body]

Output: Harbaugh would be up there with Saban or Meyer if he had been at LSU or Florida prior to coming here like those two instead of two typically downtrodden places like Stanford and the 49ers.


Input: [Date] 3 days 23 hours ago [Title] We could end up with only 1 4 [Body]

Output: We could end up with only 1 4 star on the defensive side if we lose Gary. I was hoping to do better than that considering the offense we'll have to go up against in the last saturday in November. Kind of strange that Mattison's recruiting prowess has fallen off and Durkin hasn't lived up to his billing.


Input: [Date] 4 days 16 hours ago [Title] I don't think you ever should [Body]

Output: I don't think you ever should get to retire when you want to if the team's not winning. If you're not producing wins and are getting paid millions to do so, why are you entitled to stay around and coach?


Input: [Date] 4 days 16 hours ago [Title] I don't think he's a [Body]

Output: I don't think he's a superstar but he's clearly one of our better players at his position.


Input: [Date] 4 days 17 hours ago [Title] Isn't a 3.0 gpa pretty good [Body]

Output: Isn't a 3.0 gpa pretty good at a place like Michigan? It seems weird that he would be kicked off for competitive reasons for his 5th year as he would bring a lot to the table in kick return and slot.


Input: [Date] 4 days 18 hours ago [Title] Even if he didn't really want [Body]

Output: Even if he didn't really want to move back, Michigan could double what he makes at Tech easily and we recruit better players and are a bigger name. Michigan is 1st in hockey national championships and 2nd in all time wins. Then again he may want to stay at his alma mater and I'm just like an NFL fan during the Harbaugh process.


Input: [Date] 4 days 20 hours ago [Title] That's the point. If you hire [Body]

Output: That's the point. If you hire a Tom Anastos you're taking a risk of going deeper into the woods. Get Pearson while we still get top classes every year and recruit perspective hasn't shifted.


Input: [Date] 4 days 20 hours ago [Title] He never had an issue with us [Body]

Output: He never had an issue with us even when we were winning. He hates the buckeyes and I'd love to listen to somebody talk about how Cardale Jones doesn't play school during halftime of a Ohio St game and how Pitt is a much better school or something else instead of blowing Urban.


Input: [Date] 4 days 21 hours ago [Title] Why hate Mark May? He [Body]

Output: Why hate Mark May? He badmouths Notre Dame and Ohio State all the time and never seems to have anything bad to say about us.


Input: [Date] 4 days 21 hours ago [Title] Given the way recruiting goes [Body]

Output: Given the way recruiting goes in basketball Cassius will wind up at msu and this kid will wind up in Columbus


Input: [Date] 4 days 21 hours ago [Title] Well Cassius Winston is the [Body]

Output: Well Cassius Winston is the number 1 option by far. This kid looks like a good backup.


Input: [Date] 4 days 21 hours ago [Title] We need Mel Pearson like we [Body]

Output: We need Mel Pearson like we needed Harbaugh. I don't want to hire some random coach and go into the wilderness like Michigan football did for 7 years. Use that Nike money to get our hockey harbaugh.


Input: [Date] 4 days 22 hours ago [Title] 1. Michigan football 2. [Body]

Output: 1. Michigan football 2. Michigan bball 3. Michigan hockey 4. Any power 4 Detroit teams 5. All other Michigan teams


Input: [Date] 4 days 23 hours ago [Title] I don't really like Nick as a [Body]

Output: I don't really like Nick as a writer. I don't think he purposefully tries to do this but he always takes the negative side of everything.


Input: [Date] 4 days 23 hours ago [Title] I don't think Nuss is bad [Body]

Output: I don't think Nuss is bad either. Our run game improved. The truth is he was entering a sinking ship and has done good things at all his other stops.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Less commercials (in stadium) [Body]

Output: I think that instead of trying to find ways to shorten the game such as the running clock after 1st downs (or when players go out of bounds), they should instead find a way to make the game shorter for those who are watching it in the stadium. Fans at the stadium aren't watching the commercials that the broadcasts are showing to those at home, so why have them at all? Instead you could make the in-stadium experience like watching a game on a DVR. - Start the in-stadium and tv broadcast at the same time - Every time tv takes a timeout for commercials, don't take that timeout in the stadium and just continue playing - After the commercial break concludes, the tv wouldn't miss any of the action, they would just broadcast the game as if it were being tape delayed slightly by the length of the commercial break. One of the benefits is that it would create a premium for going to the game (and by their rationale, increase attendance since the at home experience would be a moderately diminished product) -- you would truly be witnessing every event live while the tv action may be behind by 5 minutes by the end of the 1st quarter, 10 minutes by half, etc. The networks may not buy it, but it's overdue for them to throw a bone to the people actually at the games.


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] Moya [Body]

Output: I went down to the Dominican Republic 2 years ago for a bit of a "beisbol" expedition to see the Caribbean Series and by luck also had the chance to check out the Tigers training center outside of the baseball hotbed town of San Pedro de Macoris. At 6'6" Moya looked like a man among boys out there with left-handed power and a great arm. The coaches down there were really high on him and thought he had the raw tools to make an impact in the majors someday. I've tracked his career a bit since...he was in Lakeland last year, but has some holes in his swing at this point (106k's in 93 games), but he's only 22 at this point, so still plenty to develop. I will say, if you love baseball and are a bit adventurous, a trip to a baseball-crazy country like the Dominican is worth it...you can't go too far on the island without seeing kids playing baseball with whatever they can find even if it's just a stick and bottlecap. It's fantastic! That being said, Lakeland is also great and a must-visit for Tigers fans.


Input: [Date] 1 year 24 weeks ago [Title] Benefits of season tickets? [Body]

Output: I'd add that a Jerry Jones money grab is also very short sighted in that it further erodes the benefit of purchasing season tickets. As was outlined a few weeks back when Seat "Donations" were due, many in the fanbase are at a tipping point with the price vs. value in purchasing season tickets when you take per game ticket cost + PSD's into account. If the trend is for more premium games to be played in neutral sites like the Alabama and now Florida games...what is the benefit to me as a season ticket holder? Wouldn't you want to award your most loyal fans with a top notch game that helps to justify the costs they are paying for our seats? It's not like our PSD's go down if we play 1 less home game...in effect it's a per-game increase in prices for us to most likely stay at home and watch Michigan and Florida on tv hundreds of miles away in a soulless pro stadium.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] Fun facts: [Body]

Output: A few interesting/fun facts around that game: - If Minnesota had won that game (and the rest of the season played out as it did), they would have gone to the Rose Bowl by way of a 4 way tie atop the standings (M, OSU, Purdue and Minnesota all would have had 2 losses in conference). The Gophers didn't play OSU and Purdue that year and by way of the fact that they hadn't been to the Rose Bowl the longest, they would have gone. - Although the game was moved to Friday to accommodate the Twins potential ALCS games, the Twins were eliminated earlier in the week in the ALDS, but of course, tv and travel had already been set, so the dome would have been available on Saturday after all. - I believe MVictors had this a few years back, but Bill Martin was so upset that they had to move the game to Friday night that he wrote the Minnesota AD a check for them to build an on-campus stadium.


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Title] 39 = 27? [Body]

Output: This is well said and exactly what I was thinking. Beyond that, OSU needs more money because they have an incredible 39(!) varsity sports compared to Michigan's 27, so OSU needs to rely a lot more heavily on its football (and basketball) ticket revenue to fund the 12 extra sports budgets, scholarships, coaches salaries, etc. This is not a 1:1 correlation and Brandon is just searching for an excuse to raise prices again once another "premium" football season comes along next year with ND, Nebraska and OSU come to town. Regardless, I have resigned myself that college and pro sports are working their way to pricing fans out...it just depends on when the tipping point happens, but it's just dangerous to keep pushing yourself until you find out when you get there.


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] To be fair, I'm never quite [Body]

Output: To be fair, I'm never quite sure how much influence that the Athletic Department has on these things. I mean, they do sign off on them, but I always felt that it's adidas that comes to them with all of the concepts. That's the only way some of these could ever see the light of day. That blue one, with all of the adidas 3-stripes everwhere is just a walking billboard for the company. I doubt I will ever buy any adidas apparel as long as they have the contract; they just don't get the Michigan brand at all.


Input: [Date] 3 years 14 weeks ago [Title] It's Alabama... [Body]

Output: I figured they banned it because the name hit a little too close to home for most people


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Video [Body]

Output: Not the greatest, but follow the directions and it works: http://www.vipbox.tv/watch/25485/1/minnesota-vs-michigan-live-stream-onl...


Input: [Date] 3 years 31 weeks ago [Title] I have a family friend who [Body]

Output: I have a family friend who had a son that decided to go to MSU and the Dad refused to write the checks to the school out of principle. I figure that you have to appreciate someone who has such an unwavering moral compass that he is able to stand up for what he believes in regardless of the circumstances.
