Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Barf [Body]

Output: I really wish we would stop doing this. I know this is the internet so saying mean things and arguing is kind of what it is for, but why do we have to trash a wildly successful former coach of ours every time his name is mentioned? His record speaks for itself, his rings speak for themselves, the players that love him speak for themselves, 2007 and some weak late career performances against OSU speak for themselves, as does a drop off in recruiting. Then there is a story about how Lloyd torpedoed Rich Rod and destroyed the program by some combination of action and inaction that has been peddled by some people but not commented on by Lloyd. As some have said here and on 9 millions other threads that turn into this, with only one side of the story we don't know anything and even if we did...guess what folks, just like most things in life it's probably really, really complicated and when a fuck up as large as the last almost decade happens it's usually more than one persons fault. Lloyd could have won more. Lloyd should have supported Rich Rod more. If Mo hadn't fucked up he would have won more. Lloyd shouldn't get credit for 2006 because we almost lost to Ball State. I don't care about '97 because I* was 4 at the time. Blah blah blah. Look at where we were before him (lots of success but not reaching the pinnacle even during Bo's time and the era of no scholarship limits so much less parity) and have been since. Blame him for whatever you want but can we stop shitting on our one coach that achieved relevancy for this program since 1990? I get it and agree...Moeller was and would have continued to be a great head coach...but he didn't get to be. Let's stop tearing down the guy who was our coach and won for us. If you need to blame Carr for Rod's failures based on gossip, go ahead. But you can't blame him for Hoke's. And after 7 years of watching our coaches trip over themselves I would have thought maybe people might have started to realize that we had something pretty darn good from 95-08. * not me, but I have a suspicion that a lot of the people that hate Lloyd don't have real memories of 95-03 and certainly don't remember the 80s when Bo lost a shit load of openers too. With top 5 teams even. If 97 was the beginning of your fandom, you expect it every year and wonder why it hasn't happened yet. Trust me, if you lived through Bo's career you would realize how special 97 was and not cast 97 aside as simply as many of you do.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Title] You can trademark a color. [Body]

Output: It isn't as simple as filing for your standard trademark registration nor does having such a mark dictate that no one else can ever use a color in any situation, but see: Tiffany Blue, Louboutin Red and Owen's Corning Pink and you'll realize that you can get trademark protection for colors. Having said that, I don't see how Nike could attain that right from Michigan beyond the term of the contract unless Michigan was incredibly stupid...which, I guess is possible, but even then I don't think the color we used on our uniforms was distinict enough to get trademark protection anyway.

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I still look up to them... [Body]

Output: but they aren't my heroes in the same way. Now they (college players) are kids/young adults that do incredible things in pressure filled situations that I can't fathom. The thought of doing my job with 115,000 people watching live and another several million watching at home is enough to make me piss down my leg. The fact that these kids do it and do it so well is more impressive to me the older I get.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 19 hours ago [Title] Steve Everitt [Body]

Output: I think Brian meant to refer to Steve Everitt and not his former Michigan olinemate Matt Elliott. Although maybe the reference was to Jumbo. Either way, considering the career Everitt had at Michigan, including leaving a ton of blood and part of his jaw on the field against ND (and then refusing to leave the sidelines until the game was over to go have it reattached) I hope we can at least misidentify him by the right name. Sorry. Old man here that just can't believe the early 90s were so long ago that Everitt could be as forgotten for what he did on the field as he is now. Everytime he is called "Hoke's pet viking," I cringe. Again, I know I'm old, but for some of you younger guys imagine people looking at Jake Long on the sidelines in 10 years and talking about him as something other than a 100% Michigan legend and badass. "Jay Harbaugh's tatooed Gorilla." Or something.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 3 days ago [Title] That's actually technically not true. [Body]

Output: I only note it because someone pointed it out to me recently that its not true. In 2006 they got away with that rule. Although I don't think a team sub .500 has ever been in.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 3 days ago [Title] yeah... [Body]

Output: 4 team fouls? i mean, i know that the conference needs wisco to get a one seed in the dance so a loss to michigan today would have been a disaster but be a little less obvious about it. and the lack of respect for Beilein is starting to really piss me off. I'm not saying that Bo, Tom, and Thad don't deserve respect from the refs, because they do, but so does our fearless leader. 4 fouls. SMH.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 1 day ago [Title] What does Izzo mean by "them"? [Body]

Output: Izzo is racist now too? Man, he has checked every horrible personality trait box. Just a bad person.

Output: I remember seeing fire Carr signs and shirts on TV. In 2005 and in 2007.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Yes! [Body]

Output: It's not about how quickly we get the next play off...we aren't going to be Oregon. All I want is to get in and out of the huddle quickly so there is time to react to what the d is showing. In 2014, not knowing how a defense is lined up so you can adjust to something better is like playing with an arm tied behind your back. I like Hoke generally and think he can succeed here. But I do see this as a HUGE deal. I really wish a reporter would ask Nuss questions about this.

Input: [Date] 49 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Boring Lloyd type football... [Body]

Output: ...how much longer are we going to bash the Lloyd years? I would have thought the crater that is now Michigan football - basically being Purdue for going on 6 years and 2 coaches now - would have added some perspective to the Lloyd haters. I mean, lots of people bashed Bo when he was the coach but could step back after a few years and realize we had it pretty good with him. Since Lloyd left we have had 5 seasons in 6 years that are worse than he had in his entire career. I would kill for those years again.


Input: [Date] 1 year 5 days ago [Title] This doesn't answer your question... [Body]

Output: so sorry. And I think you question is valid and answers to it are important. But the current system is so wronging the student athletes that I think the most important thing is to establish that it can't continue and then try to figure out how to make it work in a different way. I'm just so sick of the suggestion that there isn't a good answer for how to fix the problem so don't break the current system. The current way of doing things is classist and racist (I'm not saying it is intentionally racist but the current system disproportionately affects African Americans...so yeah, it's racist) and just cannot be something our University, or any university worth it's salt, should be involved in. Might it ruin college sports as we know it? Sure. But that doesn't mean it doesn't need to stop. I love college sports infinitely more than pro sports. I'd hate to see it go. But as more and more money has poured in to college sports over the last few decades, the siuation has gotten disgusting.

Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Title] You're right. [Body]

Output: Sorry that your post was the one I jumped on. Your post(s) were spot on and identified the sanctions as only part of the problem. Mea culpa. I was trying to respond more generally to the fact that we really dug this hole ourselves in terms of how we responded following the sanctions. I don't want to compare apples to oranges, because all sanctions are different and ours were no doubt severe, but when I watch something like OSU football suffer on the field for one year and then turn around and set fire to the conference, it just reminds me that too many Michigan fans, and people on this board in particular, overstate the impact of the sanctions. Tommy Turtleneck underachieved for what, 7 years? You can maybe blame the first two on the sanctions, but if Beezer (and I realize he is once on a generation talent but it still fits the point) took over back in 02 or whenever it was we would have been back much sooner and part of the ire toward the fab five would be lessened. At least I think it would. But again, you are right I didn't digest that part if your post. Please accept an upvote as an apology.


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Title] The sanctions didn't take away a decade of our program... [Body]

Output: ...terrible coaching by Tommy did. We prolonged our pain by being bad at basketball. Don't act like the sanctions made us suck until the Beezer era...they helped early on, but really, Ellerbe and then Tommy just blew. You can't blame our "lost decade" on sanctions alone.


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Title] How old is older? [Body]

Output: The sanctions hit barely 10 years ago. By older do you mean 18 year olds?


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Title] The exception to the rule! [Body]

Output: Love it. Edit: I accidentally upvoted my own post. What happens now? I'm worried I just ripped a hole in the time-space continuum.


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Title] If you were [Body]

Output: under 5 when the fab five were on campus, you hate them because you view them as having ruined the basketball years you actually can remember. For those of us that are a bit older, it was glorious and we still love them, and can forgive Chris for the mistakes he made as a teenager. Obviously, there are exceptions to this. But it gets old to hear people that weren't even born when they played here trash them and suggest they shouldn't be welcomed back.

Burke an Hardaway will have to play well an I think we will be ok. An for some reason it seems on the road we jack up alot more 3's? Maybe its just me but it seems that way. Just run your sets an then we can all root for the Suckeyes to win..ughh!! [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Body] Wow this is a great o-line class so far. The theme that I keep hearing is that they play with a nasty streak. I think ive read that about all the recent o-line commits. If your a top talent running back in the 2013 class why wouldnt you want to run behind the talent Hoke is bringing in. Hoke and his staff are doing a GREAT JOB on the recruiting trail!! [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 11 weeks ago [Body] Wow, so much negativity. I bet at least one of these guys turns into a great receiver eventually. And I bet at least one of them sees significant playing time this year, not just on special teams. I know not every recruit is going to be a stud, but I would be very surprised if all three of them turned out to be busts. As bluekoj said, there is almost nothing to go on at this point. Lets give them a chance before we just write off the entire 2013 receiver class. [Title]

If it were me, I'd want Jayru Campbell to receive the full wrath of the law (as a minor, not the bs where they often find some loophole to charge kids as adults), not some slap on the wrist. Counciling and anger management classes.....what a joke. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] I have no problem holding the coaching staff accountable. But I absolutely insist that we give them a few years to rebuild first, then fire 'em if they aren't getting the job done. I'm not sure RR was the best for Michigan but I definitely don't want his replacement to be run out of town before he even has a chance to field a decent team. And I don't want to be in a 20 year cycle of rebuilding like Notre Dame. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Body] Yep GoT and Walking Dead are great. I also am absolutely loving the first two episodes of Turn on AMC so far. Another good one that I just watched is the first season of Black Sails (on Starz). And Vikings (History Channel) is pretty awesome too if you haven't seen that yet. I've heard some people say that The Black List is good. I liked the first few episodes but it got silly when every week they catch a new super-criminal/terrorist. I don't really like one hour self contained shows anymore. Instead I prefer the series format. And yeah, Project Free TV is the best. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] Perhaps you guys know more about this than I do. I live many states away and have only read a little about this but from my understanding, there were never any charges filed against Gibbons because the alleged victim did not want to pursue the matter. Then many years after the alleged rape that never warranted any charges, Gibbons is suddenly expelled because of a change in University policy. So Gibbons gets thrown under the bus by the university and now his reputation is forever destroyed.....and he may not have even done anything wrong? If anyone's civil rights were violated, it was Gibbons. Or am I missing some important legal details? [Title]

Output: What About Gibbons' Civil Rights?

Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] This is in reply to you and Mr. Rager. From Wikipedia: On January 15, 1982, Texas A&M offered Schembechler nearly $3 million for 10 years—the richest contract in the history of college athletics at that time—to become the school's football coach and athletic director. Schembechler turned it down. "Frankly, I've come to the conclusion that there are things more important in this world than money," Schembechler said. "For that reason, I've decided to stay at Michigan."[5] But thats not the whole story according to my father (U of M alumni graduated mid 70's). My dad says that Bo was very close to leaving. Three million over 10 years was an astronomical sum at the time and Bo was certainly tempted. But at the 11th hour some Michigan alumni got together led by Tom Monighan and bought Bo two Dominos Pizza franchises (in Columbus, OH by the way) and the University gave him a 40% raise so he would stay in Ann Arbor. [Title]

Output: Bo almost left in '82 for money

Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Body] ESPN just did an "exit interview" thing with all of the departing seniors. One of the questions was about which 2012 red-shirt they expect to make a big impact this year. At least three of them picked Jeremy Clark and had some really nice things to say about his development and his performance on last years scout team. I don't think he's going to beat out Thomas Gordon and Jerrod Wilson for the starting safety spots, but it sounds like he has a good chance to see some playing time this year. http://insider.espn.go.com/colleges/michigan/football/story/_/id/9206884/departing-seniors-believe-michigan-wolverines-good-hands [Title]

Devin and Denard have always done whatever the coaches want without complaint or hesitation - block, tackle, switch positions, etc.... And you would never ever hear those words (I don't want to block) coming out of their mouths. Like I said above, maybe the interviewer misunderstood or failed to follow up with a question letting him know he would be doing a lot of blocking as a receiver at Michigan? But all I have to judge is this quote that makes Andrews sound like a bit of a prima donna. [Title]

Output: I am completely baffled as to


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Body] Yeah I can't believe the interviewer didn't ask a follow up. Thats an incredibly shocking thing for a football player to say and not clarify. [Title]

Output: Yeah I can't believe the


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Body] I'm glad we missed on Mark Andrews. He doesn't want to block? GTFO with that crap and go play dolls or something. You don't think Jeremy Gallon blocks his tail off? Wow, I've literally never heard a football player say those words. [Title]

Output: Andrews is not a true football player.


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Body] I heard on another site that Scarborough is being recruited by Alabama as a WR instead of RB. That may be the reason for the renewed intrest. That and Alabama already has a stable full of NFL running backs. [Title]

Output: I heard on another site that


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] Here is the video of yesterday's press conference. I don't think anyone posted it yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbG4m9l8kJk Hopefully someone is able to embed that. [Title]

Output: Here is the video of


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] This is better than the Clowney hit. Clowney destroyed a kid 80 lbs lighter than himself. Ross just blew up an offensive lineman who probably outweighed him by 80 lbs. [Title]

Output: This is better than the


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Right now they have Michael Ferns rated almost the same as Deon Drake. And yeah, everything there is about selling subscriptions. [Title]

Output: 247 Rankings are pretty bad


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Body] I still effing hate Rocket Ishmail. Thanks for reminding me. [Title]

Output: I still effing hate Rocket


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Yes. It really was just coaches being coaches. SBnation has the video: http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2013/3/8/4079900/ohio-state-kic... Pretty unremarkable if you ask me. Not sure why its getting all the attention. [Title]

Output: Yup.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Body] True. I love Coach Brown. Free info and interviews on recruits. Just like what the pay sites are trying to sell me for the low low price of $9.99 per month!!!! I used to love Tremendous for the same reasons, but he sold out and now wants to make a living selling me information about the University I love and recruits who might go there. Lol, can you see the reason some are polarized? [Title]

Output: True. I love Coach Brown.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Body] Arguing with stupid people will bring you down to their level, then you will lose on experience. [Title]

Output: Arguing with stupid people


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Body] Espn put him on their "Watch List 300" just yesterday for this very reason. That means they're projecting him as a 4 star prospect. [Title]

Output: Espn put him on their "Watch


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Body] If you're still reading this thread Coach Brown, some of us still love you. Thanks for all the FREE info. You're a true fan. And even if the news isn't always rosy, we still want to hear it. [Title]

Output: If you're still reading this


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Happy b-day Jalen. [Title]

Output: Lordy lordy, look who's forty!


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Body] I wish I was a baller.... edit: way too slow for this board (or to be a baller) [Title]

Output: I wish I was a baller....


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Coach Hoke would know better than to even answer a question like that. And certainly wouldn't badmouth former players. [Title]

Output: Hoke wouldn't have answered


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Yep, saw the same thing on TOS and was very relieved to hear these are just recylcled rumors from last week. [Title]

Output: Yep, saw the same thing on


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] Hand specifically names Bud Foster as his favorite coach but says Michigan's coaching staff is his favorite. After reading the article I think the op is making a big deal out of nothing. The interviewer just quoted some nice things Hand had to say about each of his top 5 schools. He definitely wasn't hinting at Michigan being his leader because he likes the coaching staff the best. [Title]

Output: Hand specifically names Bud


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Not sure if you're updating you're list but I've heard quite a few names that should be added to your list. QB: Tyler Weigers, Andrew Ford, Caleb Henderson, Coleman Key RB: Joe Mixon, Johnathan Hilliman, Elijah Hood, Mikale Wilbon, Sony Michel* OL: Sam Mustipher, Orlando Brown, Jamarco Jones, Nathaniel Devers TE: Kyle Rachewal, Nick Weishar, Ian Bunting, Ethan Wolf, Chance Sorrell WR: Derek Keif, Darean Watkins, Jaylon Grandison, Moe Ways, Dominique Booth DT: Enoch Smith, Craig Evans*, Andrew Brown* DE: Connor Sheehy, Gelen Robinson LB: Kyle Berger, Troy Reeder, Brandon Lee, Clifton Garrett*, Nyles Morgan*, Dante Booker* CB: Damon Webb*, Troy Vincent, Jalen Watts-Jackson, Darius West S: Montae Nicholson, Quin Blanding* * means outside shot but still worth recruiting [Title]

Output: Not sure if you're updating


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] He's been saying a lot of positive things about us on Twitter recently. I've heard the same about Stanford though so we should tamp down expectations until his visit. [Title]

Output: He's been saying a lot of


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Whatever happened to Hunt last weekend? I thought he was here to visit us but ended his visit at the Michigan/Ohio bball game in Columbus? Maybe thats why he's no longer being recruited. I think 6 OL is more than enough anyway. Bring on Green and Smythe! [Title]

Output: Whatever happened to Hunt


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Wow, this sucks. That was my second favorite Michigan site behind mgoblog. I'm dissappointed but they deserve it and 247 will be a lot better because of these guys. Everyone should take this as a reminder to click on a few ads here on MgoBlog. The ad click revenue is how Brian is able to make a few bucks and keep this site free! [Title]

Output: Remember to click MgoBlog ads


Input: [Date] 2 years 29 weeks ago [Body] I believe Reon Dawson is also visiting too. Buckling up may be prudent? [Title]

Output: I believe Reon Dawson is also


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Body] I miss the days when players stayed with one team for their whole careers. But those days are long gone and Wells is just stating reality. And towards the end of the article Wells admits he hasn't lived up to expectations. [Title]

Output: I don't think this makes BW look bad


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Body] I was trying to think of who the sixth EE this year was and you nailed it. Thanks. [Title]

Output: I was trying to think of who


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] I was just on the free 24/7 message board and someone copied and pasted an LT tweet from three hours ago: Laquon Treadwell @SuccessfulQuon “@ShaneKTTM: @SuccessfulQuon you officially visiting Michigan?” Yes Hmmmn.........I sure hope this report is wrong. [Title]

Output: Does not compute....


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] We're way too thin at CB still. I guess if Lewis turns out to be better as a receiver, that is where he will eventually end up but we really need depth at CB right now. And as others have pointed out, he might need a year to get bigger before he is ready for any positionl [Title]

Output: This.


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] A few years back Charles Barkley was considering running for Governor of Alabama. When a reporter asked about a possible run he said "why not, if it weren't for Mississippi and Arkansas, Alabama would be last in everything". [Title]

Output: To your point


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] I'm glad you posted the "good" in your title. There has been so much bad recruiting news lately I'm just happy to get through the day without losing another recruit. This is indeed, very good news. [Title]

Output: I'm glad you posted the


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I have no problem with giving these kids a gift package for all the hard work they put in. Too bad they don't get a little share of the bowl payouts too. It would be nice if they got a check for a thousand bucks or something and call it a grant or scholarship award. [Title]

Output: Nice Schwag


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] Sorry for another "I heard" comment but I've also heard that Stribling is due for a big ratings bump. I was assuming that mean't he would be a 4-star. Not that I care so much about stars and rankings, but it does seem like an affirmation of our coaches eye for talent, eh? [Title]

Output: Sorry for another "I heard"


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I believe I saw a tweet last week regarding Deveon Smith and Rivals rankings. Supposedly he's going to make a huge leap into the top 100 today due to the monster senior season he's having. Deveon my be one of our most underrated recruits to this point. [Title]

Output: I believe I saw a tweet last


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I'd be really suprised. He was like our 3rd commit right after Shane and Dymonte. I'm sure there is some other explanation. [Title]

Output: I'd be really suprised. He


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] I laughed too when I saw Snoop's pic next to Jeremy Gallon's name. Quite a resemblence. [Title]

Output: Snoop Pearson


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Body] I hate ND for a bunch of reasons. First of all would be their smarmy fans. I'm originally from the Chicago burbs and ND fans are just as unbearable as Ohio or Lil' Brother. Next, would be the fact that they just snubbed the B1G in favor of the ACC. And finally, although I could probably go on, is that they don't deserve the season they are having. We should've beaten them and a few other teams probably should've too. ND proves that being lucky is better than being good. [Title]

Output: I hate ND for a bunch of


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Body] I'll always remember the day Bo died because one of my female co-workers who knew I was a big Michigan fan came running into my office saying that Michigan's coach had died. I was horrified and couldn't believe Coach Carr dropped dead right in the middle of the season. After frantically looking around the internet I realized it was Bo, not Lloyd that had passed. [Title]

Output: I'll always remember the day


Input: [Date] 2 years 38 weeks ago [Body] Scorpion! [Title]

Output: Scorpion!


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] They tried to steal Bo from us in the early eighties. I was too young to remember the details but my father talks about Bo almost leaving for a $3 million/10 yrs payday to Texas A&M. Back then, it was richest ever I think. But the Alumni got together and took care of Bo. I think they gave him a couple of pizza franchises or something. [Title]

Output: Another reason to hate TAMU


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] The gay friends I have might refer to each other as "queer" and mean it as a term of endearment, but would be offended if a stranger just showed up and started calling people queers. Sort of like the "n" word can be acceptable among the African-American community. Oops, didn't read jhender85's above post. Pretty much same sentiment here. [Title]

Output: Disagree


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Would've been funnier if they drew dicks on him or something. [Title]

Output: Would've been funnier if they


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Body] Sort of reminds me of an old Dikembe Mutombo story/rumor. Supposedly, he and his team (Atlanta Hawks) walked into a strip club and the first thing he said to the women was "Who want to sex Mutombo?" [Title]

Output: Who want to sex Mutombo?


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Body] I believe Shane wanted to enroll early, but his school (De La Salle) doesn't have the ability and/or inclination to allow him to do that. [Title]

Output: I believe Shane wanted to


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] 11 Warriors is using it too. Right now. http://www.elevenwarriors.com/ Look near the top right of the homepage for the poll. The last poll choice is AIHRBG. Btw, feel free to influence their nice little poll while you're at it. [Title]

Output: 11 Warriors too


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] In that interview, Beyer said that he switched positions from last year. I believe he is not the starting WDE this year. What position did he play last year? [Title]

Output: In that interview, Beyer said


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] Me too. Reminds me of the Bo/Woody days. My father and grandfather used to tell stories of Woody sending spies up to watch our practices and Bo closing them to the media. Even if Hoke is just being paranoid, it ads to the mystique of the program by keeping practices closed to the public. [Title]

Output: Me too. Reminds me of the


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] Michigan should be #1! [Title]

Output: Is this a trick question?

Output: ugh....very sorry for the


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] A close friend of mine quit the football team after his freshman year in college. We all asked him to reconsider and told him that he was making a mistake, throwing away a huge opportunity, etc.... None of that mattered to him. He didn't like getting hit constantly. I think my dissappointment came because I felt like he was blowing an opportunity I never had. [Title]

Output: A close friend of mine quit


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] Now that you mention that, I remember him playing well too. I even remember him sort of chasing down and tackling Stephon Diggs during that game. [Title]

Output: Now that you mention that, I


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] Ondre confessed to being around 360 lbs at the Army All American game last year so he's already slimmed down considerably. [Title]

Output: Ondre confessed to being


Input: [Date] 2 years 51 weeks ago [Body] damn phone [Title]

Output: oops sorry


Input: [Date] 2 years 51 weeks ago [Body] I think he played better than his stats. Plus he was rotating with Clark. Just my opinion. [Title]

Output: I think he played better than


Input: [Date] 3 years 3 days ago [Body] I read somewhere that Derrick Green at one point weighed 270 lbs. Anyone know more about his background? Guess we'll find out more about him in his impending Hello post. [Title]

Output: I read somewhere that Derrick


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Body] For obvious reasons, Michigan fans are blissfully unaware of a offensive line recruiting battle going on at Cass Tech for the services of Dennis Finley. Finley is a 6-7 300 lb OT who is rated as a mid 3 star on all the recruiting sites except ESPN where he was awarded a fourth star (just barely). Given the fact that most of the OL talent in the Midwest has already committed elsewhere, Urban Meyer is going after Finley pretty hard at this point I believe. Michigan State wants him too as well as Wisconsin and Illinois and some lower tier schools too. Unfortunately, there's just not enough room for every Cass Tech kid at Michigan. Cough, cough....Delano Hill. [Title]

Output: Unfortunately UFM is Tapping in to Cass Tech


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Body] Are the coaches firm @ 24 in this class? If Treadwell and McQuay or Green commit and then Fuller or Hargreaves wanted to be a part of this class, would the coaches make room somehow? [Title]

Output: Are the coaches firm @ 24 in


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Body] Wow, the man does it all. And with class. [Title]

Output: Wow, the man does it all.


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] Hmmmn. In this scenario, I don't mind taking the leftovers. [Title]

Output: Hmmmn. In this scenario, I


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] You're the one who needs to be told not to get their panties in a bunch. A few posts ago, you blatantly accused Auburn of cheating and paying players for the past 30 years. Now you're flipping your lid because another random dared to suggest Alabama may be as dirty as any SEC team. You're a funny little troll. [Title]

Output: You're the one who needs to


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] Rational Buckeye- Is there any truth to the rumor that the coaches are considering moving Billy Price to the offensive side of the ball because of lack of depth? [Title]

Output: Billy Price to OT?


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] I believe USC's 2013 class will be 18 recruits. From what I've read, they are limited to 15 schollies per year but as long as 3 of the recruits EE, they can be counted towards last years class. But I could be wrong so somebody correct me if you know better. [Title]

Output: I believe USC's 2013 class


Input: [Date] 3 years 3 weeks ago [Body] I agree. And I don't think the coaches would accept a commitment unless he's 100%. The things that bother me about this is that just a week ago he planned on visiting Oklahoma and Ok. St. as well as possibly visiting USC. Thats a huge change in such a short time. Guess we will find out "soon" according to the young man himself. [Title]

Output: I agree. And I don't think

Output: oops, please delete if


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Body] I was nine at the time so I have no memory of the game but my dad still brings this one up once in a while. And he's still pissed about it too. [Title]

Output: I was nine at the time so I


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Body] Funny. Tell Magnus he goes by Successful Quon on twitter. I don't think he'd be insulted by M fans calling him Quon. [Title]

Output: Funny. Tell Magnus he goes


Input: [Date] 3 years 5 weeks ago [Body] I would think even someone from W. Virginia would believe we gave RR a fair chance. He had 3 seasons at a premier football university. His best season was 7-6 and he lost every game to our cheif rivals OSU and MSU. Even if he were given a fourth year (last year), no one believes he would've won 11 games including the Sugar Bowl. [Title]

Output: I would think even someone


Input: [Date] 3 years 5 weeks ago [Body] That was really cool. And emotional. Thanks for posting that. Too bad Chris, Jimmy and Ray couldn't be there to share that with Juwan too. [Title]

Output: That was really cool. And


Input: [Date] 3 years 5 weeks ago [Body] Now that is a true Michigan fan dog's name. Unfortunately, the name is the easy part. Getting the dog to watch the game with you is the impossible part. Every dog I've had hides when the Michigan game is on. [Title]

Output: Taco Pants!


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Body] I was also suprised by the boxers. I kind of thought boxing was on the decline. Almost everyone I know is much more into the UFC. [Title]

Output: I was also suprised by the


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Body] This. I was especially angry with Congress when they decided to butt in. As if they don't have enough real problems to deal with. Frankly I think the owners have donated so much $ to the politicians, that the politicians do their bidding. And I'm not singling out either party, they are both beholden to their campaign donors. The owners used the bought and paid for Congress to make it seem like baseball was really getting cleaned up. The whole thing was about image, not a genuine desire for a clean game. Anyway, good for Roger. I'm happy he beat those bozos. [Title]

Output: This. I was especially angry


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Body] Perfect response. I like his confidence. And I believe the coaches frankly explain to the recruits that Michigan is going to bring in top athletes year in and year out. [Title]

Output: Perfect response. I like his


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Body] I think Bailey and McQuay are supposed to be visiting in the next few weeks. Our main competition for Bailey is FSU. It would be nice if this one goes our way. [Title]

Output: I think Bailey and McQuay are


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Body] Did Ondre say what his weight is right now or what his target weight is? I remember him talking about the Army All-American game last year where he said he played at 360 lbs. [Title]

Output: Did Ondre say what his weight


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Thanks for posting that. It's not suprising that Hoke and staff pay no attention to the star ratings. [Title]

Output: Thanks for posting that.


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Body] High School kids do just fine with long snapping. It doesn't seem that hard. I'm with the pissed off crowd wondering why a walk on can't suffice? But that was interesting to see that the other major football powers feel its an important enough position that they will burn a scholly on it. Trust the coaches and all that.... Welcome Scott Sypniewski! [Title]

Output: High School kids do just fine


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Sucks that we missed on Isaac but Green and Wilkins are both pretty good. I just hope Wilkins gives us a fair shot and is able to visit next weekend. Anyway, it seems likely that we might take a 4th receiver if we miss out on these two. Are there any other RB's that have mutual interest? [Title]

Output: Sucks that we missed on Isaac


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Lol. That's messed up dude. I wish I could "un-see" this. [Title]

Output: Lol. That's messed up dude.


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Body] I gotta say, his apology was a lot more real than any politician's I've ever seen. None of that "I'm sorry if anyone was offended" crap. Seems a lot more genuine than just covering his own ass. I can't speak for everyone but I accept his apology and will happily forget about the incident. [Title]

Output: Seems genuine to me


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Body] The fact that he hasn't been kicked off the team is good news. But that being said, this news is very alarming and dissappointing heading into a year with such high expectations. We've been rooting for BWC to live up to his potential for years. And this crap always happens at the position we're the thinnest at. Ef Murphy. [Title]

Output: The fact that he hasn't been


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Body] You've got a good point that we already have two tall possesion-type receivers committed to this class and that Devon Allen would add a speed dimension to our passing game. But I think Treadwell is a much better prospect. I know ratings don't mean bupkis but Treadwell is considered an elite, top ten receiver by almost all of the services. The only way I see us taking Allen is if we whiff on Treadwell (make my head asplode) or if the coaches decide to take 4 wr in this class. I hope neither of these things happen. [Title]

Output: Treadwell and done


Input: [Date] 3 years 9 weeks ago [Body] We're way overdue for some good news. I believe I heard some strong rumors last week that we could get one or possibly two commits very soon. I'm still buckled up.... [Title]

Output: We're waaay overdue


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Body] Actually, yes I am. And I will think of that fucking cowardly "neck-crank" on Denard whenever I see Gholston on TV or see his name in print forever. And, I don't think a one game suspension was a sufficient deterrence from seeing this kind of play again. And I don't think D'Antonio got the message either. Anyway, mostly it should just be fuel to the fire for next years game. [Title]

Output: Actually, yes I am. And I


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Body] We'll have the answer to that question soon enough. I read the whole article. Apparently Gholston apologized for the incidents and wishes to be thought of as a person of high character. If Gholston turns into a goon and purposly tries to injure our best players again this year, he is a sociopath. If he can play clean, he's not. [Title]

Output: Sociopath?


Input: [Date] 3 years 14 weeks ago [Body] I believe he is announcing at 3pm on Tuesday (tomorrow) at his school. [Title]

Output: I believe he is announcing at


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Body] No prognostication but I'm hoping to see some good stuff tomorrow. I want to see a crisp, efficient Denard passing game. I bet everyone is particularly interested in the D-line. I want to see how BWC and Jibreel look as the starting NT and DT. I want to see how Devin Gardner looks at WR. And I really want to see how the EE freshman play. Joe Bolden has been getting a lot of mentions in spring practice pressers and Jerrod Wilson too to a lesser degree. [Title]

Output: No prognostication but I'm


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Body] From what I hear, Dymonte played a critical role in the recruitment of Ben Gedeon. [Title]

Output: From what I hear, Dymonte


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] I didn't hear about this last night. What a great way to wake up. There will definitely be some productivity loss at work today. [Title]

Output: Productivity loss


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] You are assuming that local schools didn't want him. Perhaps it was the other way around? Maybe his plan was to go to school someplace warm and he let MSU, Iowa and Wiscy know he wasn't in play. [Title]

Output: Its a mystery


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] Unfortunately, Mathis may have some grade issues. I'm just passing along some info (not sure how solid) that I read on 24/7. http://michigan.247sports.com/Board/59424/RE-Mathis-8886671/1 The article is in the Michigan section but it appears to be from a USC fan. I remember last year we wouldn't take Aaron Burbridge because of questionable grades and I think Anthony Standifer was misssing a requirement so I know how strict our requirements are. I hope these reports are false, but they should be looked into before we pencil Mathis into our rotation. [Title]

Output: Please don't shoot the messenger.


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] Yeah, we really do have a decent shot at finishing the class that way. And the other WR will be a stud too. We're in on so many good ones. [Title]

Output: Yeah, we really do have a


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] We have so much talent on the D-line that we are going to have to have line changes like in Hockey rather than individual substitutions. [Title]

Output: We have so much talent on the


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] Saban looked like their best QB. [Title]

Output: Saban looked like their best


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Body] If you didn't like the coaches decision to not redshirt Talbott, get ready to be very dissappointed over the next few years. I don't think Hoke & Staff can afford to RS many players. The pressure is on to win and win now. Perhaps in a few years when he's had four or more recruiting classes and plenty of depth he will have the luxury of RSing players? [Title]

Output: Its a matter of depth


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Body] And halfway expected a belated April fool's prank. [Title]

Output: Guilty.


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Body] There were a few big name receivers I didn't see mentioned: Darell Daniels, Robert Foster, Marquez North and James Quick. Not that any were Michigan leans, I was just wondering if you've heard Michigan is being considered by any of these players? [Title]

Output: There were a few big name


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Body] Is this one of those cases where a guy is "criminally underrated", as Aquaman loves to say? On paper, it looks like we already have two cornerbacks committed that are higher rated than Butler plus a killer safety. Seems like we would only be interested in elite DB's with so few spots left. [Title]

Output: 3* Devin Butler


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Body] That sucks bro. I enjoyed your updates. Hope you change your mind. [Title]

Output: That sucks bro. I enjoyed

Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Daniels is just one of many high quality receivers we are in hot pursuit of. You can check out interviews and updates about Daniels on Tremendous' site: http://thisismichiganfootball.blogspot.com/2012/03/darrell-daniels-update.html A few of the other receivers we are looking at: Eldridge Massington, Devon Allen, Marquez North, Sebastian LaRue, Marcell Ateman, Demorea Stringfellow and Uriah LeMay. Of course our #1 target is Laquon Treadwell. The only problem I see is that Treadwell is the only one from the Midwest so it may be challenging to get these guys to visit. [Title]

Output: Daniels is just one of many


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Apparently Sam Webb says the coaches are planning for this class to be 24 recruits. That means we have 8 spots left. I hope we finish with Ty Isaac, Henry Poggi, EJ Levenberry, Ben Gedeon, LaQuon Treadwell, Darell Daniels, Greg Webb and Su'a Cravens. [Title]

Output: Apparently Sam Webb says the


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Ouch. Too soon, too soon. [Title]

Output: Ouch. Too soon, too soon.


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] I'm sure the coaches could care less about a recruits rankings which is how it should be. Rankings and stars are for fans. Otherwise what the hell are we gonna argue or complain about for the six months of the year our guys aren't playing football? [Title]

Output: I'm sure the coaches could


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Thats an understatement. I've heard some say Isaac would be considered a top 10 receiver if that were his position of choice. [Title]

Output: Isaac can play receiver too


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Warning to everyone..... This idiot trolls the 247 Wolverine boards too as "HOWARD STERN" making ridiculous predictions that never come true just like he's doing now. Some people just need attention. [Title]

Output: Troll Alert


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Sounds like we're going to be using a lot of 2 TE formations heading into the future. That means we need more on the roster. I also hear some people talking about sub-positions that I'm not as familiar with. I wish Ace or someone would come out and explain what is the difference between a U-back, Y-back and TE. [Title]

Output: Sub-positions


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] I don't think we've seen enough of him to tell if he can "carry the load" one day. He played a little last year (true freshman) so I think that is a good sign of his potential. Anyway, I think spring practices are going on right now so there may be info coming in the next few weeks about our running back situation. [Title]

Output: I don't think we've seen


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Yep, depends on who the RB and TE are. I'd take Isaac over any TE. I'd probably take Derrick Green over an extra TE too for that matter. I hear his visit went very well. As far as TE's go, there doesn't seem to be that many high quality guys left not committed or heavily leaning towards other schools, so lets use the scholly on a better player at another position of need please. [Title]

Output: Yep, depends on who the RB


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] The two guys I'd love to snag this weekend are Henry Poggi and Deveon Smith. [Title]

Output: Michigan won a share of the


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Body] I was thinking the same thing. Every time I turn around someone is posting "Shane Morris said X" on twitter while talking to other players. In fact, I think Shane is really keeping after Ty Isaac by Twitter. Perhaps our recruiters should warn kids of the potential trouble they could get themselves in? Too bad Yuri Wright didn't have a little better guidance last year. [Title]

Output: Recruiting


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Dukes, Lewis and Dawson are all in Scout's top 300. Last year all of the recruits in the top 300 on Scout were ranked as 4-stars. So, I would expect all have a good chance at getting their 4th star by the end of the recruiting cycle. SIAP [Title]

Output: Dukes, Lewis & Dawson

Output: Gideons


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Body] I still can't believe we got Kugler and the rest of the o-line. All of these kids seem like high character individuals as well as good athletes. [Title]

Output: I still can't believe we got


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Body] By all accounts, he is a very talented lineman and could potentially play guard or center. Rivals and Espn rate him at 4-star while 247 and Scout give him 3 stars. We are think at O-line and have 4 guys graduating. Kozan would be a big help at a position of need. [Title]

Output: Exactly


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Body] I'm worried that Isaac is distracted by too many other teams at this point. We can't go all the way down to the last days of next January waiting for a commitment from this guy. If Deveon Smith or another decent 4 star running back wants to come to Michigan I say we take them first and hope that Isaac will still come. But judging from this interview, he is by no means a lock for Michigan. [Title]

Output: I'm worried that Isaac is

Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] I just noticed Dymonte Thomas moved up to #40 overall on 24/7 rankings. I believe he was #77 previously. Edit: LTT moved up too. Can't remember what he was but he's #89 overall now. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] SIAP but did it say anywhere what Treadwell's timeline is? I hope we don't have to wait till the Under Armor game again, sheesh. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] 41 minutes ago on Twitter, Tremendous said that we might not be done for the day. So maybe we do get one more. At any rate, today has been amazing. [Title]

Output: 41 minutes ago on Twitter,


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] On twitter TomVH pointed out that this time last year we had ZERO commits and it took all the way untill May for us to land our seventh recruit. I'm sure the fact that Hoke had only been on the job for a month at this time last year had something to do with it, but damn we sure are off to a fast pace this year. I would also bet that six out of last years first seven commits weren't 4 star recruits. So we're off to an even faster and better start than last year. [Title]

Output: On twitter TomVH pointed out


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] I'm listening. I think Sam said sometime this hour it will be announced. And damn Bosch was an awesome surprise! [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Body] Fwiw Scout has him as a mid 3 star rating (86/100) and he doesn't seem to be ranked by the other services. However, I think I'll trust Mattison and Hoke's evaluation methods. [Title]

Output: Fwiw Scout has him as a mid 3


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Body] Awesome show. And the only reason I wouldn't love to see a real zombie apocalypse is because I'd miss Michigan football. /s [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Body] There are a bunch of big names visiting this weekend. Some posters on the 247Wolverine message board are speculating that we might get a commit or two this weekend. Specifically from Chris Fox (high 4 star o-line) and Jaron Dukes (not ranked but probably low 4 star wr). [Title]

Output: There are a bunch of big


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Body] Sounds like we'll have plenty to complain about regarding Urban Meyer and his methods but I don't think this is one of those cases. I seem to recall at least two instances last year where Jamal Berry was either in a fight or just plain attacked another student on the quad. The articles posted here about the incidents seemed to indicate Berry had either a drug problem or perhaps mental health issues. Anyway I hope the kid gets well and gets to play football again one day. [Title]

Output: Sounds like we'll have plenty


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Body] I've been hearing a lot about him lately. Some of the people talking about him seem to feel that even though he is as of yet unrated, he is nearly as good as Ty Isaac. I've even heard a few say he might be better (but those are in the minority). I think 24/7 is the site I've heard him talked about most on. [Title]

Output: Deveon Smith


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Body] I'm suprised he wasn't considered a top 100 prospect. [Title]

Output: Deveon Smith

Output: Wow, this really really


Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Body] Thanks for posting that. Scout does a great job of breaking down recruiting rankings by school, conference and even by position. Its also helpful that they assign a point value to each player. Michigan already has the number #1 offensive line class and we still may add blue chips - Garnett and Diamond. Maybe Kozan too (low chance at this point)? Our defensive line is rated #5. Linebackers #3. DB's #10 with blue chip Reeves still a strong possibility. There are a few things about their rankings that bothered me. One area that surprised me was the TE/WR category. According to Scout Funchess, Williams and Darboh are all 4 star rated and Chesson is a high 3 star. I'm not sure why we didn't make the top 10? Seems like a mistake on their part. The other thing that bothered me was our conference ranking. As a whole the B1G is ranked #5. We're slightly ahead of the Big East and just behind the ACC in recruiting as a conference. I suppose it could be because Penn State is having a down year but I also think schools like Michigan State and Wisconsin are doing a poor job of capitalizing on their on-field success. Seriously little bro, 11 wins and you should be able to grab half dozen 4 star players at least? [Title]

Output: Thanks for posting that.


Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Body] I don't think the board is being hypocritical. Yes its true we do seek information and access as fans but people don't like Ace Williams in particular because of things he's done in the past (unverified rumors, phony predictions, taking credit for insider info on paywalled sites, etc...). In this case, no one was mad at Ace Williams per se, they were just mad that this proven scumbag may have been the one to break the news about Yuri Wright. The AW hatred was there long before this story, thats why I say there is no hypocrisy. [Title]

Output: I don't think the board is

Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Body] Great. I hope its on par with what the basketball players have in the new PDC. State of the art training facilities are a must if we want to recruit against the top football programs. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Body] I didn't see a rating for him on Scout or Rivals but 24/7 only has him as a 3-star (88 rating) which is actually slightly lower than Jehu Chesson (89 rating) got from them this year. Although his offer sheet seems to be of a much higher rated recruit. [Title]

Output: I didn't see a rating for him

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I have sold tickets on stubhub before, and found it very easy to do, as you just have to upload the tickets via PDF and not worry about any shipping. Only downfall is stubhub takes a 10% fee for the buyer and a 15% for the seller. Kind of unfair double dipping. For example, if you list a ticket for $100, the buyer will buy it for $110. When you get your $100 back, stubhub takes 15% of that, so you only get $85. [Title]

Input: [Date] 24 weeks 22 hours 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 43 weeks ago [Title] As of 2010- "In discussions" to return... [Body]

Output: I read an article from the Slippery Rock athletics website that was written about the members of their team who came to the Wisconsin game last year and the article said: "The salute to SRU was the brainchild of UM Director of Athletics Dave Brandon, who has revived the tradition of announcing Rock football scores during Michigan home games. A special hooded sweatshirt with The Rock logo emblazoned in UM's Maize and Blue colors is also on sale through one of Michigan's licensed vendors. Brandon has also initiated discussions about The Rock returning to The Big House to play a game, according to Lueken."

Input: [Date] 4 years 19 weeks ago [Title] well, if it's anything like [Body]

Output: well, if it's anything like football, they'll just name it the Mason-Berenson Cup.


Input: [Date] 4 years 19 weeks ago [Title] Is anyone else having any [Body]

Output: Is anyone else having any problems with the CBS streaming? Mine has been saying "loading" for at least 15 minutes.


Input: [Date] 4 years 20 weeks ago [Title] As it is, we are at the [Body]

Output: As it is, we are at the critical mass of bowl games where there are barely enough eligible teams to meet the number of slots. Last year, only 2 schools (Temple and Western Michigan) were bowl eligible, but weren't invited to a game (Western, probably because of their poor attendance figures the previous year as Brian had mentioned). All it would have taken would be for 3 schools to decline an invite based on financial considerations and these ridiculous ticket limits would have been front and center as one bowl would either have to back off on its ticket/hotel guarantees, or force the prospect of folding a few weeks before the game. As Zone Left noted, the real issue is that the power conferences need to take a stand and prior to signing agreements with these games, they need to force a removal of these guarantees. As expansion consolidates more power to a few major conferences, one would think that a greater degree of leverage would follow because the drawing power of Big Ten bowl slot #5 is far greater than most of what the ACC, Big East, etc. can bring to the table.


Input: [Date] 4 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Old v. New [Body]

Output: Outside of Mattison, the difference isn't that great between what the previous assistants were making and the new staff. Assuming Hoke gets $1.5M, the difference between the total staff salaries would probably be rather negligible. For the record, the top 3 assistants on Rich's staff were: C. Magee - $285k G. Robinson - $273k T. Gibson - 224.7k The rest of the coaches were getting about ~$185k except for Braithwaite at $135k, but you can see these (and the rest of your favorite Athletic Department personnel) here: http://www.umsalary.info/deptsearch.php?Dept=Athletics&Year=0&Campus=


Input: [Date] 4 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Did anyone else notice how [Body]

Output: Did anyone else notice how Groupon incorrectly lists the gametime as 5:30 instead of 6:30? Of course for Groupon HQ and other fellow Chicagoans like myself the tip is 5:30 Central, but last I checked Ann Arbor didn't fall into the CST. Looks like the new CMO is at work trying to look for creative ways to fill up Crisler. As mentioned above, it's the same deal through the AD, but it does hit a different demographic of people not privvy to the Athletic Department's original messaging.


Input: [Date] 4 years 26 weeks ago [Title] This just reminds me of the [Body]

Output: This just reminds me of the time when George bought John Voight's car. I'm sure Jerry spells his name with a "G" occasionally just for fun.


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Title] RE: Michigan Replay Music [Body]

Output: I remember seeing an old Michigan Replay from the early 80s on WOLV-tv that used the Across 110th Street intro, but then I believe they went away from it for a number of years before bringing it back sometime into the Carr years. This has to be a matter of public record. We really need the Athletic Department to start putting up old Michigan Replay's on mgoblue.com for our viewing pleasure.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Guinness only counts people [Body]

Output: Guinness only counts people who showed up as spectators (people who bought a ticket and were present in the stadium on the day of the game plus a few other non-ticketed personnel, such as the band). Michigan's attendance counts tickets sold (whether they showed up or not) plus the band, team, concessionnaires, ushers, media, etc. -- essentially everyone who would be present in the stadium. As far as the original number, that figure was what Guinness used to initially certify that the record had been broken and to have the presentation on the field during the game. They were still totalling up final ticket figures at that point, but they knew that a record had been broken, so they felt comfortable announcing it and having a press release that the media picked up on. (Granted, some in the media mis-interpreted the release to be the final attendance count, but it was still a works in progress) EDIT: Beaten by a few minutes...why do I write so much?


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Even if Patterson was [Body]

Output: Even if Patterson was contacted, would he really have informed anyone, let alone some random radio station? He's trying to keep his own recruiting class in place, not lose goodwill with TCU, etc. so unless an offer is in hand, no potential candidate is going to say to the media "hey, Michigan called."


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] H.S. vs. College [Body]

Output: The high school posts are wider than the college and pro versions, so they are wider compared to what we're used to on Saturdays. High School - 23 feet, 4 inches College - 18 feet, 6 inches I've also been curious how much extra distance one gets by using a tee on FG's like in the video. So, if he can kick a 60 yarder with a tee, does that equate to a 45 or 50 yarder minus the tee? Anyone with a kicking background know a rough estimate?


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Looks like Brian may need [Body]

Output: Looks like Brian may need to increase the MGoPoint threshhold for starting a thread again.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Sorry you didn't get the jist [Body]

Output: Sorry you didn't get the jist of my comment. All I was saying is that from a financial gift standpoint, there's only so much that the university would allow you to earmark your gift for. In this case, Braylon was (correctly or incorrectly) allowed to earmark his funds to the most finite detail, which is what has created this debate. My point was that the university would gladly allow me to make a significant contribution, but there comes a point where goodwill and generosity turns into over-involvement and meddling with the way the organization is run (be it athletics/football or whatever). I think Braylon getting over-involved with the way the coach runs his football team crosses the line by using his number scholarship leverage.


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

Output: For the record, the endowment for a scholarship is not $500k/year. It's a one time $500k donation that because of the University investing the money and interest on that investment allows the scholarship to continue forever. The problem really lies with the Michigan Athletic Department allowing Braylon to stipulate to such a specific degree who would get his scholarship and essentially giving too much of a voice in the activities of a coach running a football program. Instead, the AD should have allowed the scholarship go to a Wide Receiver (and it could have even gone to a WR of the choosing of his Foundation), but letting him tie it to a specific number goes too far. I'm sure the university wouldn't let me endow a scholarship for the person who resides in my old dorm room and then get upset when the housing office selects someone who I don't deem "worthy" of the honor of residing in the hallowed halls of 5th Hamilton.


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

Output: The last time I went (around 2004), the Michigan section was behind the endzone in the open part of the horseshoe. Purdue was pretty decent and came in with only 1 loss and I already had tickets, but I approached a scalper by the basketball arena just to see what the market was like and he had a whole fistful of tickets and from "negotiating" with him, it was definitely a buyer's market. Fast-forward to today: both teams aren't as good as they were back then, so, I doubt the game sells out (especially with an early kick time). Worst case you should be able to buy them for face at the box office if you can't negotiate your way in for less.


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Expansion [Body]

Output: Since it sounds like you have the data, I'm curious...what are the numbers since State joined the Big Ten in the '50s? No doubt that across the board, Michigan Athletics have been more dominant historically than MSU, but it'd be interesting to see a more apples to apples comparison.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Licensed retailer [Body]

Output: It's interesting because a number of these shirts have been up for quite some time...and it's not like they're much different than the guys with the stands on the street who have ripped off a number of the designs for their own profit. I wonder if this has more to do with who is selling them and their relationship to the University as opposed to what is being sold. To my knowledge, before buying Moe's, Underground Printing would produce t-shirts angled toward Michigan (like the MGoShirts), but never use any University trademarks. Now that they run Moe's and sell licensed material, the University has more control to threaten UGP with revoking their agreement to sell licensed product like jerseys, hats, etc. Perhaps a lawyer can speak to this more, but unless they go on a major cease and desist binge and shut down the shady push carts, then I think it's a targeted threat at a licensed retailer.


Input: [Date] 5 years 5 weeks ago [Title] n/a [Body]

Output: It's a video like this that truly captures the greatness of sport, and the reason why so many of us keep coming back. Yes, sports may occasionally cause us agony and heartbreak, but that moment of euphoria shared with our friends and family, or complete strangers from far and wide is a thing of beauty and will never get old.


Input: [Date] 5 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Stadium configurations [Body]

Output: FA, you are my hero for bringing up the Polo Grounds. I wish that park was still around because there definitely needs to be a stadium with a small cutout that makes it 485' to center. As for the L.A. Coliseum, they did host a Dodgers exhibition game a few years ago (attended by 115,300 people) in commemoration of the team's 50th Anniversary of their move to the west coast. (Note the giant net in left field to eliminate on the 200+ foot home run).


Input: [Date] 5 years 15 weeks ago [Title] n/a [Body]

Output: Mike Stevenson is the consummate professional. When I heard that they were replacing the Oosterbaan astroturf back in '01, I went to him with the outlandish idea that I wanted to see if they could cut me off a piece to use as "carpet" for my dorm room. He was more than accommodating, asking for the desired dimensions we needed and even giving us the '4' from the 40 yard line as part of our piece. Hopefully he has a happy phased-in retirement...and if he needs some turf for a dorm-sized room in his house, he knows who to call.


Input: [Date] 5 years 19 weeks ago [Title] Just the Facts ma'am [Body]

Output: And to think, I read the thread title and figured that maybe the Michigan Theater was having a "Joe Friday Night" and Judge Smails was a big fan of classic tv.
