Input: [Date] 6 days 19 hours ago [Body] Drake is by far the best runner we have. Although he's not big, he's also not undersized. He's explosive, he has good vision, he doesn't go down easy, and he has a good burst to get through the hole. I'd love it if he was healthy and was our feature back. However, I did a post on why I don't think he'll be/remain healthy for an extended amount of time, so I cross him off the list of expected guys. With the Green, Smith, Isaac conversation, I get the impression that we'd be better off having one of them transfer. I was really excited about Isaac transferring to UM because of his recruitment, but the reality is the backfield is too crowded. One of them likely leaves after this year IMO. This seems like a good problem to have, but I think it also makes it difficult for any of them to gain confidence. It seems like RB is a position where you don't want to think. You're better off just seeing the field and reacting, and if you never stay in long enough to get in that groove it can be hard. Personally I'd prefer we have 2 strong candidates that are 1-2 years apart and the rest of the guys are either clearly backups or 3-4 years younger. I don't think it's good to have 4 guys all expecting to play, someone's not gonna be happy and sharing the carries in both practice and games may take away from all of their development and gelling with the o-line and vice versa. [Title]

Output: My 2 cents


Input: [Date] 6 days 19 hours ago [Body] Yeah, agree about the opponents, but I also think that's as much about the o-line as it is about the back, and maybe even about the QB. We didn't have too many games against conference opponents where the QB had strong games to help open up the running game, minus maybe Indiana and he actually did pretty good against OSU, but the rest was a little ugly. [Title]

Output: Yeah, agree about the


Input: [Date] 6 days 20 hours ago [Body] Thank you! The saying ignorance is bliss is really true. Before there was internet recruiting sites and all I knew about recruiting was what they told me during the in-game broadcast of games, life was a lot more simple. You didn't know who the incoming freshman were and it didn't matter. Michigan just beat everybody except west coast road games, Notre Dame sometimes, and then OSU was always a battle, but you could count on 9 wins. Now that I know I continue to ask...well, they are highly rated recruits, when will they be good? Now I'm just sick of asking questions and wondering. Can I have my medication now? [Title]

Output: Thank you! The saying


Input: [Date] 6 days 20 hours ago [Body] You may be right, but it just seems like with both o-line play and special teams play, particularly punt coverage, kick-off coverage, and blitz pick-ups, that players just do dumb things. I have to believe they were coached and instructed not to do those things and are just not that good at it. We hear it all the time that the light may go on, but that sounds a lot like wishful thinking and I'm a little more practical. I hope I am wrong, but I am cautious about how much better we get in one year. I have faith in the coaches and think they can get this thing cranking in 3-4 years, but next year I remain sceptical that we can turn our weaknesses into anything more that slightly less of a weakness. [Title]

Output: I agree, but remain skeptical much changes in '15


Input: [Date] 6 days 20 hours ago [Body] It just baffles me how UM ran out RB after RB year after year that was fantastic, same with WR, QB, and o-line through the 90s and 00s. Things made sense. I never worried about who graduated or went to the NFL because I knew there was another good guy behind them. Now, nothing makes sense. I continually find myself analyzing when will (name any position) finally be good again. We sign one of the top backs in the country and he hasn't lived up to his billing (Green). We sign one of the top pocket passers (Morris) and he hasn't either. We sign 7 premier o-lineman in '12 & '13 and none of them have yet to prove much. I give the 2013 guys a free pass because they are still young, but still. We keep wondering when we will finally get this thing figured out, but at this point I have no idea. The line improved last year, but it was still bad. Will it improve enough to actually be good, because it's not like we have a great RB that can break plays and overcome poor line play, or a QB/WR that can make things happen despite this weakness? I just don't know anymore. How can you expect a player to play in a way he's never played? I hear people say offense line play is about age, experience, time working together, etc. So, having a year under their belt all of these guys having played together before should help in addition to 4 of the 5 projected lineman being in their 4th or 5th year. That gives you hope, but that's all it is at this point. It's still hard to all of a sudden assume Kalis can do something he hasn't shown he could do before. Same with Braden. Maybe coaching was the problem and Drevno can get them sorted out, but I have my doubts. [Title]

Output: So sick of asking when wil.....finally be good again


Input: [Date] 1 week 14 hours ago [Body] I don't have any problem with that. Let them know up front, don't hide anything, and let them chose their destiny. It makes Countess' decision a little more understandable, although I'd still like him back. Good luck to any of the guys that decide to try their hand elsewhere. [Title]

Output: Makes sense


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] While I hear what you're saying, but how else do you judge talent? If it's not recruiting rankings, what is it? Recruiting rankings are basically based off things like size and speed...potential. So, if the coaching and player development sucks, but guys are 4-star recruits, how do you judge their talent? I know I'm so sick of waiting for guys like Thomas, Pipkins, Morris, Green, RJS to produce and people saying they're talented because they had a good recruiting ranking. But, lately with all the coaching changes, changes in scheme/style, MSU beating us on the field while we beat them in recruiting rankings, etc. its hard to know what's what any more. [Title]

Output: While I hear what you're


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] My concern is our offensive skill players just don't seem to have panned out. Morris already seems like a big question mark. Our other big recruiting gets at the skill positions are Green, Harris, and Cole. Green also seems like a big question mark, Harris has not shown he can get healthy, and Cole is a true freshman. I like Butt, but he's not enough. The rest of the offensive skill players are not really 4 and 5-star guys, but are more role players. I'm concerned there are no real playmakers on offense. [Title]

Output: I don't see the offensive playmakers


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] On paper our o-line is just as good as OSUs and with more experience, but offensive production is another story. That makes me believe either coaching has a lot to do with it and/or our offensive problems are more complex than the o-line. We have inexperience/unproven players at QB, RB, and WR as well. While OSU had questions on o-line, they had talent everywhere else. If we had Barrett, Elliot, Thomas, and Smith and ran OSU's offense would our o-line look just as bad? [Title]

Output: O-line


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] Looking back at some games last year, he really handled some pretty good DEs, including Bosa. He's just as good as Decker IMO. [Title]

Output: Yeah


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] Not to dump gas on the fire, but OSU has been the better team on paper for a long time, assuming being the better team on paper means having more talent and/or recruiting stars and being ranked higher in the polls. There have been a number of years where UM's recruiting classes were very similarly ranked to OSU's (although still typically a few spots behind). But, I don't recall a time when UM's classes were consistently ranked higher than OSU's. Maybe they were before the dawn of internet recruiting ranking sites and I just don't know it. I'm 35 years old, which means I've been old enough to know what's going on since roughly the mid-90's. But, even then when UM was beating OSU consistently in the 90's, OSU was always the favorite on paper, higher ranked team in teh polls, and believed to be the more talented team. I really just don't remember UM ever being the favorite on paper with any consistency over the last 30 years, sorry :( It's a depressing reality. [Title]

Output: They have been for a long time


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] Sometimes it depresses me how many quality players are on UMs rivals, and how many of them they were ranked similar or lower as recruits than some of the players on UMs roster. Derrick Green was a highly ranked recruit at RB, yet Elliot has been much more successful. Shane Morris was a highly ranked recruit, but Barrett and Cook have been more successful. Bosa was ranked pretty high, but Charlton was no slouch and definetly higher than Calhoun, but both of them have been more successful. Maybe I'm being short-sighted and have sour grapes, but It makes me wonder if the rankings were justified. Maybe our guys were not evaluated very well, but many of them were offered by our rivals. Maybe they just haven't been developed well or maybe the offensive/defensive schemes of our rivals fits them better. Maybe I'm just beaten down by too many losses to the rivals. Well, here's to hoping the new coaching staff can get this talent to produce and being thankful we still have Peppers :) [Title]

Output: Talent at UM vs MSU/OSU


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Body] Yeah, I'm with you. If Drake his healthy I think he's our best back, but he's not that far removed from his ACL and I have have doubts about his ability to remain healthy. I'm not sure on Isaac yet. He seems to have a good combination of skills, but we just don't know what to expect of him yet and I've heard Magnus hint at the idea that the coaches don't like his mentality, and you know Harbaugh...that won't fly. Smith is a tough, reliable runner and my hunch is he's our #1 guy if healthy. If the o-line can create holes and the QB can complete passes without turning the ball over Smith should be good. He won't break a lot of long runs, but I think he's good at getting first downs. Green seemed to be the default guy under Hoke's staff even though I personally never thought his play warranted it. Maybe he played much better during practice, IDK. He obviously was a high level recruit, so maybe that played a part in Hoke's committment to him. I haven't seen anything that makes me believe Shallman is a B1G RB. It's hard to say much about Higdon until we see him play. So, I think it will be Smith as the #1 with everyone else fighting for the #2 spot. Heck, throw Peppers back there on occasion. I'm sure he could break some big plays. [Title]

Output: Smith and co.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] No worries, it's all a part of the discussion, which hopefully sheds light on the subject, may help multiple minds re-think things, or at the very least is an interesting relevant intellectual discussion. Thanks for adding in some literature and I will take a look and let you know what I think. Regarding credentials, yes we are often proud of ours. I have a graduate degree in exercise science with a concentration in performance enhancement and injury prevention and am quite used to supporting my stance with peer reviewed literature. While a certain degree can let others know of pre-requesite knoweledge, it doesn't prevent those without it from having relevant information, so I try not to push it unless questioned. Plus, there are lots of well educated folks on this board that you may never realize until they told you. And, I have had many good discussions with people with very little formal education. As long as you have an intellectual curiosity, are willing to provide evidence to support your view, and don't mind others asking questions, then it's all good. [Title]

Output: No worries, it's all a part


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 10 hours ago [Body] There are many risk factors, not the least of which is previous injury. It’s worth noting there is a difference between a risk factor and a mechanism of injury. Many of these risk factors, with the exception of neuromuscular control, have the same outcome on osteokinematics…an internally rotated knee (valgus) and landing with a low knee flexion angle (too straight). At first sight I focused on the former, but I think both are probably happening here. There was a good review of literature in 2012 in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research on mechanisms of non-contact ACL injury. There is a body of research on kinematics using video analysis combined with retrospective surveys that suggest low knee flexion angles, knee joint rotation, and valgus collapse as a culprit in ACL injury. There are also several studies that adopted a descriptive epidemiological video analysis method that had similar outcomes including one with minimal knee rotation. There are also a number of cadaveric studies that show ACL strain or anterior tibial translation increased with low flexion angles combined with valgus stress. And, there's an MRI study I’m familiar with that revealed impingement of the ACL against the lateral wall of the intercondylar notch can occur with external rotation which combined with valgus movement, elongates the ligament putting it at greater risk of rupture. In addition, research suggests that anterior tibial translation is greater when the knee joint is moved through the kinematic and kinetic extremes believed to stress the ACL, highlighting the importance of knee joint stability for dynamic tasks for preventing noncontact ACL injury. One problem with some of the studies on knee joint stability as a mechanism of injury is they typically only measure stability in a passive state. I’m not aware of any research that has actually shown that passive stability correlates with dynamic stability. Also, it assumes passive knee joint stability is a sufficient measure of dynamic knee joint stability. The research fails to find cause and affect relationships, rather it simply notes a higher incidence in experimental cohorts. Now that doesn’t mean it’s not happening, but it leaves room to question and suggests more research is needed, which is the beauty of science why I have provided merely a theory of why I think Drake is at increased risk. BTW I’d be happy to provide any of the citations if you’re interested. [Title]

Output: Risk factors vs mechanisms of injury and the research


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 14 hours ago [Body] His problem likely won't show up in linear running (straight ahead) unless it involves a fast stop and re-start. It is much more likely to rear its ugly head in change of direction or landing. [Title]

Output: Linear vs lateral


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 15 hours ago [Body] They certainly do, but that is what coaches do, correct technical flaws. Now, it's a bit of a gray area, who would cover this particular area. If you want to go waay back, PE teachers in grade school instruct fundamental movement skills, but let's be honest, how many really correct them when they are faulty or have a good understanding of them? An offensive line coach would instruct a lineman to get his pad level or hips down if he's too upright and a RB coach would do the same. A good strength coach should be able to spot these things, but lets say they do, is there really time in their day to address every individual athlete in this manner and create a program of interventions to fix the issue?...in my experience as a strength coach, no. Is it the medical staff's job? S&C workouts certainly perform drills on footwork, deceleration/acceleration mechanics, change of direction mechanics, landing mechanics, etc. Also, his rehab would include this from the previous injury. But, some research suggests while it's pretty easy to correct passive movement flaws in isolation, it's much more difficult to do so in competition or under stress and/or high speeds. It's very difficult to change old motor habits. So, while every athlete may run differently, they should be aware of how that style impacts their risk of injury, especially one that has already gone through an injury and rehab IMO. [Title]

Output: They certainly do, but that


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 20 hours ago [Body] I was watching last year's games and it just occurred to me and I guess I didn't consider that some may take it negatively. Although my hunch is the topic becomes a little less interesting once the ahtlete graduates if I were to wait. I guess I could have brought up other athletes from years past, but that wasn't really the point of what I saw. I do understand and appreciate the work that goes into rehad and the lingering affects it can cause. I am a former college baseball player and I have also had a number of injuries during my playing days including a bimalleolar transverse fracture, which basically means I shattered both bones in my ankle. I had 3 surgeries and was no weight bearing for 4 months and I still do regular soft tissue work and mobility drills to try and maintain normal function in the ankle and I'm 36 years old. I have no doubt I will be dealing with the lingering affects of this injury the rest of my life. I guess my point is that analyzing why an injury occured IMO doesn't take away or from the work required to rehab it nor the discomfort you have to endure with it. The two are mutually exclusive IMO. It's more matter of fact and is just an interesting analysis IMO. I do believe in today's information age that conversations like these may make these injuries occur less often through awareness and education. Not that I think my little post will do that, but that it may contribute in some small way that makes this information more accessible to those wihtout the background knowledge in the subject. [Title]

Output: I hear ya


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Body] A few pionts. One, Drake's first tear was against Central Michigan in 2013. I don't recall that one. His second one however was last year against OSU and although there was contact it didn't appear to impact the injury. The injury appeared to occur due to the motor pattern described above. Every circumstance is different and there could certainly be other factors involved. However, this faulty motor program is without a doubt part of the problem IMO. FWIW it's very common for middle aged men to tear their achilles playing pick up basketball for instance. This is probably because we don't realize what our body is doing while we're doing it and lack the motor control and/or awareness to prevent it. I'm sorry if you took offense to the topic. This was merely an exercise in biomechanics about a relevant football player that I tought folks might be interested in. It's not intended to be negative towards him. Analyzing human movment is simply what I do and is my educational background so take it for what it's worth. [Title]

Output: A few pionts. One, Drake's


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Body] That doesn't surprise me, but my hunch is that although 2D may not be valid on a single picture, I'd bet that changes when you take the same person and look at say 10 pictures. I noticed it watching a video and then just grabbed a few pictures to illustrate the point to the reader. But, it wasn't hard to find them and it was harder to find images of him not doing this. Also, knowing Drake's history of being a track guy, this doesn't surprise me. He probably wouldn't be forced to deal with a faulty motor pattern during track where there's no contact, no change of direction, and to quick starting/stopping. [Title]

Output: That doesn't surprise me, but

Swimming relay, track relay, basketball, bobsled, etc. It's not actually a true medal count. Shouldn't each medal awarded to an athlete count? Point is the US would probably destroy most countries in the medal count if it were done this way but the European led Olympic committee would not go for that. They won't even allow womens softball in because it's viewed as a US dominated sport. Now what are they going to do with speed skating?

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] If seems like you bitch and moan for every single kid that might commit or has committed that isn't a 4 star. Do you not like this kid because you yourself are a great talent evaluator or because you see a single number next to their name and assume you know everything there is to know about the kid? How about instead of analyzing every kid by a single number, you start thinking for yourself and develop a much more informed opinion of the kid before you pass judgement based on the 'star rating'. For instance, what are the kids offers? What is the actual scouting on the kid? Does this kid fit our scheme? Has this kid attended recent camps? If so, how did he do? Have the coaches been able to study just his film or have they also had the opportunity to see him in person? Also, if he is a three-star, is he a low 3-star, or he is just a couple of positional players away from being a four-star? What are the kid's weaknesses? Are these things that can coached up or not? I think if you go through each of those questions and form your own informed opinion for these recruits you might find yourself not being so unhappy about the lack of stars attached to their name. End rant. [Title]

Input: [Date] 26 weeks 6 days ago [Body] You seemed to convienantly ignore the fact that those people you listed are all freshman or sophomores and that Walton, one of those highly rated players, has been playing with a bad toe all year. Even highly rated players can't be expected to to carry a team their first few seasons, yet that is exactly what has been asked of them. It has led to a few poor outings, but one can see the improvement and continued development. So yes, the scrappy underdog narrative is appropiate for this team. [Title]

Any talented guys we can add to the fold will certainly help. 2. We do not know for a fact they will get better coaching until we get a running back coach and see how they perform during a live game. Until then, we are just hoping that Fred Jackson wasn't a great coach near the end and anyone we get will have to be better. [Title]

Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Body] You can't use experience when we are ranked behind both of those schools and #322 overall in experience. Talent-wise are we better? Absolutely. Experience. Not a chance. And sometimes those young guys take a few years to turn the corner and play consistently good basketball. Michigan basketball has been lucky to have freshman and sophomores capable of stepping up in the past two years but lets not act like thats a given. Some guys take more time. Chapman will be one of those. His top 30 ranking belies his future potential. Not necessarily instant impact. Thats okay. But if thats the case, we are left with our three guards, Spike, and a bunch of raw freshman. When those four are on we can beat very good teams. But if one or more struggle we can lose to anyone. Just give it time. This season will be a roller coaster but I expect them them to improve given Beilein's track record and probably surprising you at the end. [Title]

Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Except Beilein has shown he can win a lot of games with an exceptionally young roster. To expect that to be maintained every year is just ridiculous. [Title]

Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Body] This team lost a coin flip to a legitimate top ten tean and has beaten two solid programs in Oregon and Syracuse. If you are going to let two poor games in a 30 game season lead you to not care then I don't know what to tell you. Its within your right as a fan. But come on man. We have one of the youngest teams in the country coupled with one of the best coaches in the country. There will be progression. It won't be as sweet as the last two years but it will be eons more exciting than seeing this team under Amaker or a football team coached by Hoke. [Title]

Output: This team lost a coin flip to


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Body] 2013 Michigan football wasn't coached by a guy who had already won two Big Ten regular season titles or had gone to a national championship game two years prior. [Title]

Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Doesn't come close you say? So this team has played really well and lost a coin flip to a top ten team and it has now played poorly in two games against inferior competition. Experience would certainly help with this teams consistency. Oh and so would Burke, Stauskas, Robinson, McGary, or Horford. But yeah, having to play guys like Spike and Bielfeldt most of the game with no other viable alternatives has nothing to do with our performance... [Title]

Output: Doesn't come close you say?


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Body] This team has five schloarship players that aren't freshmen. Three of those are two star flyer level players and one of those has improvred to be potentiallly an all-big ten player. In the past two years we have lost five players (4 first round picks and an early second round) early to the NBA and another one (Horford) because he thought one of those guys (McGary) wasn't going to the NBA. Does that justify these two losses? No. Is this rough to go through? Absolutely. But at some point these defections along with not recruiting like the Dukes of the world every year was going to catch up. Everyone just needs to relax and be willing to tough it out with this team. There will be more heartbreakers. And there will also be reasons for optimism. In Beilein I trust. [Title]

If Michigan played 3 cream puffs + 1 power 5 non-conference opponent similarly to Illinois we would be in a bowl game as well.

Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Body] If I were the Big 12, I would hold off on adding any additional teams and begin fighting for the college football playoff to be expanded to 6 or 8 teams. If that can occur within a reasonable time frame, they wouldn't have to add two sub-par teams and their seat at the table is then assured every year. [Title]

But it will be Jim Hackett's decision, and that is as it should be." Thats literally all he said when asked his opinion on the coaching search. Maybe you need to turn off your cell/computer if thats how you are going to react when a former coach provides a rationale answer to something he was asked. [Title]

Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Michigan needs to get the right coach with a system that will allow for us to win the most games a few years from now. I am fine with a less than stellar record next year if it means Michigan is set up for sustainable sucess further down the road. There are always a few bumps in a coaching transistion, and I understand the mindset of wanting to minimize those, but this can not come at the expense of hiring someone who offers Michigan the most potential once his system is in place.

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Hard to argue with excellence unless you make a grammar mistake in the press release... During the 2014-15 academic year, Michigan was the only school to achieve exemplary Academic Progress Rate (APR) marks from the NCAA in football (above 990), men's basketball (995 and above) and women's basketball (995 and above). Additionally, all 14 U-M men's varsity athletic teams recorded perfect scores while 10 of the 15 women's varsity teams also earned perfect scores. [Title]

Output: Hard to argue with excellence


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Well, not quite like Stanford. That was more akin to Purdue beating this year's OSU team by 3 touchdowns. Stanford was damn awful. My guess is we struggle early, but finish a lot like Arkansas did last year--a seriously terrifying team that's more or less figured it out. 8-4 sounds about right, it's a question of how we get there.

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Body] We're going to need to find a quarterback to hit 10 wins. We could easily be 2-2 coming into Big 10 play. 8 wins is pretty realistic is Rudock learns the offense. 10 would probably require the light to come on for Morris sometime this offseason. We've got a nice defense and should be fine in the running game. That's not going to beat MSU or OSU though. Add in some early season struggles and 10 gets hard to reach very quickly. [Title]

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Cardale Jones may have a fall from grace this year. He's not very accurate and not very fast. Sure, he's a tank, but so are all the NFL defenders.

There's definitely responsibility for the university, just not afterwards. They need to focus on prevention,counseling, and encouraging reporting. Lawyers and police should focus on investigation. [Title]

Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Body] It's not that simple. The guy here had a high-end job offer that he won't get now. He probably can't get a degree anywhere without openly discussing why he was expelled, which means he won't be admitted anywhere. Basically, it's ruining this kid's life without any type of due process and what is essentially a presumption of guilt.. That's not okay. [Title]

Input: [Date] 17 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Biggest takeaway is Michigan doesn't have 10 linemen or 6 receivers who are ready to play. Depth is still pretty thin over there. If the line stays healthy and Ruddock or Morris can play, we'll be good. Otherwise, it's going to be a lot of hoping for the ball to bounce our way in low-scoring games. [Title]

He could have screwed the bottom 3-4 and left them riding the bench after promising them the world. I have zero problem with what he is doing at Kentucky. Everyone else talks publicly about fighting for dear alma mater, but privately tells recruits he'll get them to the NBA. Caliperi is honest and everyone hates him for it. [Title]

If you want ESPN, BTN, and HBO you'll probably end up paying more than you are for cable, but at least there are real options now. My real issue is I have only one option for Internet. If I could get Fios, I would cut the cord and save $40+ per month. Since I have to pay Comcast for Internet, cutting the TV cord isn't really valuable. [Title]

He's learning how to block fundamentally and technically. He's got great hands, and he can run." still picking things up by the tone of that qoute. I think there's a reason he's not making a big impact yet.

Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Body] I feel like I know this offense a lot better now; but wouldn't the lack of experianced tight end blockers and the fact that non-denard run game isn't happening this year very much limit us to spread offense and 2-rb sets this year dictating that Denard continues to face pressure in the pocket against traditional big ten defenses? I feel as if the Lazer screen is a desperate attempt to keep this pressure off of Denard, if only because Borges inexplicably hates this play. Anyways I hope the emergance of Lazer, Funchess and other checkdown throws help negate the de-evolution of our pocket protection and deep ball. GO BLUE! [Title]

I agree about Aaron Craft his style of play is incredible to watch .living in Wisconsin myself I frequently forget that playing good defense doesn't have to be the most boring thing in the world to watch. Ohio(the school) has helped its image a lot IMO by ditching the old football coach; But yes Thad Matta is maybe the most shady Big Ten Basketball coach, and I hope he doesn't taint the accomplishments of his players.

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 18 hours 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 2 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 1 day 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 1 day 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 1 day 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 3 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.

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 14 weeks ago [Title] What was the state of "the [Body]

Output: What was the state of "the tradition" when RR came in, or did you miss that part of the post in your rush to cryptically name drop?


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Title] Except it's not...at all. [Body]

Output: Except it's not...at all.


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Let's just watch the spring [Body]

Output: Let's just watch the spring game...


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] 9 hours 46 min ago [Title] I doubt he was. [Body]

Output: He got mentioned early, but the interest in him seemed to fade quickly.


Input: [Date] 12 hours 42 min ago [Title] Look at what the Reds got for Cueto as a guide. [Body]

Output: Price is worth more.


Input: [Date] 12 hours 48 min ago [Title] That's highy speculative. [Body]

Output: It's a good decision, but you can't really argue that waiting until so close to the deadline to even field offers maximizes their value. You always risk the number of sellers going up and the number of buyers dropping. Hopefully, it works out.


Input: [Date] 12 hours 55 min ago [Title] If Mullen's concern is for the students, [Body]

Output: then is he in favor of 5 year guaranteed scholarships too? Has he been in favor of 4 year guaranteed scholarships, or is this just him wanting his own job to be easier? The flip side to his argument is simple. If players are eligible to play an extra year, then there will be fewer scholarships available for incoming freshmen every year. The scope of his solution doesn't fit the potentiall problem. After a few years, few recruits will need to take an academic redshirt. Students will adjust to the new standards. How many freshmen does he redshirt as it is? (Of those, how many are coming back for their fifth year?) If all, then the rule has no effect. If most, then it has a minimal effect. If none or few, then it again has a minimal effect. For the freshmen that do play, who are they taking playing time from? Is it the other freshmen that aren't ready, or from players already on the roster. In other words, just how often would one true freshman's ineligibility directly lead to burning one from someone who wasn't ready? Beyond that, how many of those freshmen would prefer not to play, given the option? Ultimately, I think it's a tiny number.


Input: [Date] 20 hours 21 min ago [Title] The change in schedule happened because of realignment. [Body]

Output: The schedules need to have 3 home/3 away versus division opponents. That wasn't possible last year without changing the rotation of some games.


Input: [Date] 20 hours 31 min ago [Title] I don't know. [Body]

Output: If Brandon ignored the OSU game, two bad things could happen. OSU uses your logic and ignores it too. Much more likely, is that the opinion of one school about a rivalry doesn't carry as much weight as both schools'. The system didn't automatically grant AD's requests, as I understood it.


Input: [Date] 20 hours 46 min ago [Title] Hackett's done a masterful job with the cards he was dealt, [Body]

Output: but those were fantastic cards. Getting Harbuagh was a coup. That he was available was pure chance. The Nike contract was great. That it was up for renewal, again pure chance. Hackett could have done just as good a job and had to settle for a very good coach, but not a spectacular hire. Say Jim Mora, Jr. Season tickets sales improve, but not dramatically. Fans wiould wait to see real improvement on the field. If we're still on the old Adidas deal for a few more years, he's left looking for ways to boost revenue and/or cut expenses. That's generally the part of the AD's job that draws the ire of fans. Lastly, he was replacing a blunderous and reviled AD. There were obvious little things available to earn goodwill. Some were even directed by Schlissel. I don't want to take away any credit. I'm very happy Hackett is our AD. Still, I think the opinions of his performance would be a lot more tentative if not for some circumstances beyond his control.


Input: [Date] 21 hours 36 min ago [Title] Overall participation in HS athletics is at an all-time high. [Body]

Output: At least as of 2013, the latest year I found statistics for nationally. I'm not sure how that relates to anecdotal evidence that football is dropping because kids are specializing in a single sport. There are a lot of variables. Football requires more players than other sports. It's more subject to getting dropped at smaller schools, which could accelerate a decline. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/football-top-sport...


Input: [Date] 23 hours 28 min ago [Title] Participation in Ohio HS football dropped nearly 20% [Body]

Output: from 2008-2012. Participation nationally is dropping at a much slower rate.


Input: [Date] 1 day 8 hours ago [Title] Yes, and where they also ignore UM-Dearborn, Mich Tech [Body]

Output: and private schools like Kalamazoo College.


Input: [Date] 1 day 14 hours ago [Title] They have been recruiting Bridges, despite his always being. [Body]

Output: considered a longshot. Remember that his spot was taken by Battle for awhile. If they felt better about their chances, probably they hold off on offering Watson. The problem is that their plan B guys aren't going to wait forever. They decided not to offer Cumberland and he comitted to Cinci. They just just went through the eval period and didn't offer Watson until it was over. He was planning to commit soon too. It is disappointing to miss out on him. We're picking up solid prospects, but not obvious game changers. That being said, you can never be certain how the roster will shake out. There's always the possibility of unexpected attrition. I don't think Michigan is completely done recruiting Bridges. He can still schedule an OV, even if there isn't room for him at the time.


Input: [Date] 1 day 15 hours ago [Title] Indiana was the favorite until the moment Michigan offered. [Body]

Output: Then it was all over. I know the feeling, but can't feel the least bit sorry for them.


Input: [Date] 1 day 15 hours ago [Title] No, Bridges does not have an offer. [Body]

Output: He canceled every planned trip here. Honestly, I don't think he's ever had any interest. He only talks about us because we're the other in-state school. It's great that he has nice things to say, but the coaches must surely have a good idea of his level of interest.


Input: [Date] 1 day 15 hours ago [Title] Bridges is/was a pipe dream. [Body]

Output: He mentions Michigan, but has never even set foot on campus. His family lives an hour away and he's made multiple trips to MSU. That's a strong indication that he has no interest in coming here.


Input: [Date] 1 day 15 hours ago [Title] That may be closer to the truth. As I recall, Webb didn't [Body]

Output: exactly endorse that report, but passed it along fwiw. In any case, Nauta has interest and is planning an OV.


Input: [Date] 1 day 17 hours ago [Title] How is any of that the least bit relevant? [Body]


Input: [Date] 1 day 17 hours ago [Title] Quite recently Sam Webb quoted one of Scout's southern [Body]

Output: analysts. The gist of his report was that Nauta would end up at FSU or Michigan, with a real chance for either.


Input: [Date] 1 day 18 hours ago [Title] I don't like either, but the white is a lot better. [Body]

Output: The all maize doesn't make me think of Michigan. The helmet is kind of lost. At least it stands out with the white tops.


Input: [Date] 1 day 18 hours ago [Title] Why are you so sure about that? [Body]

Output: Harbaugh is well known for using players on both sides of the ball. Why not use it as a recruiting pitch, especially as you're doing it again? I recall several recruits mentioning that possibility.


Input: [Date] 1 day 22 hours ago [Title] It was even worse. Williams cut off the other driver. [Body]

Output: He pulled his gun because the guy honked at him.


Input: [Date] 1 day 22 hours ago [Title] You should have left out your second sentence. [Body]

Output: Otherwise, I agree.


Input: [Date] 1 day 23 hours ago [Title] You're mixing up Caleb and Xavier Kelly. [Body]

Output: Caleb visited campus in March. Nobody we're recruiting has yet taken an official visit with player hosts. IMO, it's a good thing Kelly knows that much about our team. It shows a level of interest beyond what one might expect from a CA kid.


Input: [Date] 2 days 8 hours ago [Title] Jedd Fisch played tennis in HS, not football. [Body]


Input: [Date] 2 days 8 hours ago [Title] Corley has been thought to be leaning towards MSU [Body]

Output: with OSU as his second choice. But you'd rsther hsve him, because he understands the rivalry? I recommend following Brandon's advice.


Input: [Date] 2 days 9 hours ago [Title] That doesn't count as a conference game for UVA. [Body]


Input: [Date] 2 days 11 hours ago [Title] Yeah, what a tremendous handicap. [Body]

Output: They got a good coach, too.


Input: [Date] 2 days 12 hours ago [Title] Well done, Seth. [Body]

Output: It's not so easy to have tongue in cheek proposals taken so seriously. I think you're on the right track, but I'd make several adjustments. Bring back the U of Chicago program and add them to the Big Ten. Remove the most junior member from your to remain at ten. Make all schools who have repeatedly been caught cheating ineligible for the playoffs. Use the current standard for major infractions.


Input: [Date] 2 days 12 hours ago [Title] Personally, I find it ridiculous to wreck the regular [Body]

Output: season just to make the playoffs neater. I don't think there is any way the playoffs ever become that exclusive. Who's going to decide that some schools get permanently left out? There are more than 64 power conference schools now, with more holding that ambition. This organization would end up fighting a lot of political battles, probably legal ones too. I'll stick my neck out and say it will never happen.


Input: [Date] 2 days 17 hours ago [Title] 14 teams are much better for scheduling than 16. [Body]

Output: Every team gets an even number of home/away games in their division. There are more common opponents. I'd say it was better in every conceivable way. The Big XII just needs to stabilize which probably involves adding teams. Other than that, I don't see how further expansion is inevitable. Every P5 conference has lucrative TV deals, including the Big XII. None stands to gain much by changing the status quo.


Input: [Date] 2 days 17 hours ago [Title] The reports at the time were that Oklahoma and OK St. [Body]

Output: asked to join the Big Ten together. I'm not sure why they've been left out of this story, but the Big Ten had no interest in that OSU. Just taking Oklahoma wasn't seen as an option.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] I just found out that I [Body]

Output: got a sort of promotion.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Title] If this is true, Hackett is an absolute legend. [Body]

Output: In less than a year, he hired the most sought-after coach in all of football and (likely) made an apparel contract change that by many insiders will significantly effect recruiting in a positive way. He has earned years of support. So, after cleaning up some huge messes and earning all the positive support associated with those changes, he may leave the athletic department to an excellent long-term candidate? I will be disappointed if he ever has to pay for a drink in Ann Arbor again.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] I'm not in favor of Michigan [Body]

Output: playing a game at a race track. But I would imagine a game vs ND after a several year hiatus would sell enough tickets to fill pretty much any man-made stadium.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Hmmmm [Body]

Output: I hated the bumblebee uniforms, but we were wearing them when State beat us. I hated the 'Bama uniforms, but of course, that game was a nightmare. I loved the uniforms we wore while winning the Sugar Bowl. I love the original uniforms, as Michigan has won far more games than they've lost while wearing them. Speaking for myself, it appears as though I really love whatever Michigan is wearing as long as they are winning football games.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It's the first Friday in May, [Body]

Output: that means summer is coming. Following summer, we get football. So for the next 7 months, we get great weather, football, or even both. /happy


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I either reciprocate it, [Body]

Output: or if I'm really fired up, I say "Hell yeah!"


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Just my opinion [Body]

Output: Agree with you 100% though that the bigger issue last year was coaching.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Title] For me, it's hard to say. [Body]

Output: Last year's team was more talented than 5 wins, they just weren't mentally tough. I think if Harbaugh was our coach last year, we win 8-9 games. So, how much of a jump should we expect? Going from 5-win talent to achieving 10 wins is too much to ask for. But going from 8 to 10 certainly wouldn't be. I would be surprised if we won 7 or less. But I won't be surprised if we win 10. /tl;dr - 8-9 wins sounds about right.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Speaking of stupid, [Body]

Output: there was an MSU fan near me in the student section during that game. After MSU took a 3-0 lead, he yelled "scoreboard" a bunch of times. He probably heard "scoreboard" yelled at him about 1,000 times over the next 3 hours.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 2 days ago [Title] +1 [Body]

Output: for not knowing how to embed a tweet. Oh, yeah, and that sounds like some pretty important news as well.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I hope you are right. [Body]

Output: I love this time of year. It's either boring because our class is set, and that's a good thing. Or we are in the mix for some last minute commits/flips, and that's an exciting thing.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I am of the opinion, [Body]

Output: that if the OL is as good as his previous iterations, our offense will be very good. I am also of the opinion that I will say "Drevno? More like Drevyes!" far too often after TDs. I will hold my hand up for high-5s after each of those comments, and rightfully be left hanging.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I don't think Harbaugh [Body]

Output: would string Michigan along. But he may just be stringing along the NFL.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Agree completely [Body]

Output: If JH is not our next head coach, I think this is the biggest reason why.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Title] From everything I've heard about the [Body]

Output: SF front office, they sound crazy and angry enough to fire JH early next week if the 49ers are eliminated. If this is a good and decent world, we may actually have him as a coach by next weekend.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Weber committing to OSU is a dong punch. [Body]

Output: But our RB situation is awesome right now, IMO. We are loaded. Ty Isaac isn't a high-level recruit. He has, like, actual college stats. We have an embarrassing wealth of talent at the RB position. As many have said in this thread, if we hire the right coach, we don't have anything to worry about.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Kinda sounds [Body]

Output: like you're nitpicking, now. /s


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 5 days ago [Title] That's the key distinction, IMO. [Body]

Output: If I go to Vegas, sure, I'll throw a bet on something like this without much thought as that bet is just entertainment for me. But Vegas lines don't usually move big amounts because dudes like me put $50 on a bet like this. For the pro gambler, this is how they make a living. They don't just throw money on a prop bet because it sounds fun. The bet has to be researched prior to being placed. IMO, this is definitely a good sign. But with the caveat that it's a good sign on 12/6/14. These coaching searches seem to have a lot of moving parts. No guarantee that whatever info is out there is accurate in a few days.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I've lost sleep this [Body]

Output: week as I am so excited about JH becoming our next head coach. Whether it happens or not, it's been fun being excited about Michigan football again.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Awesome group of guys. [Body]

Output: I will really miss DG. As far as performances go, I will always remember ND UTL II and his unreal performance against OSU with a malfunctioned lower body. I really love his video board intro as well. When everyone else is saying "Name, year and major" he has his "Devin Gardner . . . I already graduated" and then smiles. I have always felt as though we have an embarrassing wealth of great kids here. I know there are great kids who play everywhere, but we just have so damn many. I really hope these guys grab a win and bowl eligibility today. Go Blue, Thank you, seniors!


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I got in trouble by reading [Body]

Output: this at work and laughing very loudly. I tried to explain it to those around me and they looked at me like I'm crazy. Chances I'm asked to take a drug test today: Fear/paranoia level 10. I'm reminded of how I felt in the 2007 game vs App St. As the day progresses, so does the likelihood of something embarrassing happening. Chances I fail the drug test: Fear/paranoia level 1. I don't do drugs so the only chance I fail is a lab error. I'm reminded of how I felt after I heard we scheduled this yrs App St game. The outcome will be fine but everyone's response will be "Lol, what an embarrassing way to spend an afternoon."


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Well, MSU beat us by 24. [Body]

Output: If OSU beats them by 27 and we beat OSU by 28+, we could still celebrate winning the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Oh, wait a minute. Hardly any of us could celebrate that because most of us are muggles.


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I agree. [Body]

Output: I'm not usually in favor of "everyone should go." I like the idea of maintaining at least a couple of good guys to help with transition for the players. Even a guy or two who could tell the new staff in private "yeah, but you can't really do that/say that/whatever here." (WR gets the #1 type of stuff) But right now, with as toxic as this program has been lately, I really think everyone's gotta go. We need a fresh start. That includes you (looks over at Adidas).


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I love the idea of fans contributing [Body]

Output: money to alter uniforms. But I'd go one step further and make it a competition. So for tomorrow's game, if Michigan fans donated more money, MSU is wearing the pink. The more we beat them by, the more pink they wear.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I agree, Narduzzi has totally earned a shot, [Body]

Output: but nowhere near Ann Arbor. Dantonio's crush for OSU was always very obvious. I would not be able to handle Narduzzi having the same affection for MSU if he was our head coach. I also think he would defer to Dantonio on the recruiting trail. It's ok to respect your opponents, but you can't be cool with them being your alpha. I honestly would worry about a Trojan horse, I don't care how stupid that sounds. Also, I honestly think MD keeps telling Narduzzi that soon he will retire, and the MSU gig is Pat's. I was really bummed when Narduzzi didn't take the Uconn job last year.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 5 days ago [Title] It feels very fitting. [Body]

Output: In the fall, my wife is forced to listen to me whine, scream, throw temper tantrums and use my outdoor voice in the wrong places. From a karmic standpoint, it's totally fair that I have a similar experience.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 5 days ago [Title] My wife forgot [Body]

Output: that she agreed to watch her friend's kids today despite agreeing to volunteer at work. So, I'll be babysitting a 6 month old and 4 yr old today with the help of my 6 yr old.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Wow [Body]

Output: Excellent write up, thanks for posting. All 3 sound like a tremendous upgrade. I have a feeling President Schlissel would have a lean towards Bates. But, yeah, they all sound great.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Will also be interesting to see [Body]

Output: what happens to the loser of FSU and ND. If ND loses to FSU, but then wins out, they will also be in the conversation. In part, annoyingly, because they are ND. I think a playoff system is a good thing. But the politics and lobbying is going to really suck. Even if every SEC team has 2 losses, there will be a big push to put at least one, if not two of them in the playoff.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Agree. [Body]

Output: I think MSU probably gets "jobbed" by the 2nd SEC team that gets in. It's actually pretty interesting, IMO. On the one hand, they did schedule Oregon. But of course, on the other, the B1G is just so bad this year. We will keep seeing articles about this until they get another loss this year. Here's to that happening on 10/25.


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Body] "Schadenfreude" usgae alert! [Title]

Output: Wurst topic ever.


Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Body] changing careers to do stand up comedy... Bartender: Sorry, but we don't serve subatomic particles that travel faster than the speed of light here. A tachyon walks into a bar. [Title]

Output: He will announce that he's


Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Body] "Time travel is possible" so I can go back to 2007 and warn the Michigan players about Appalachian State and to not get stoned before the game. Thing is, would we retain our memory or would we actually go back to being in the moment of 2007, unaware that we traveled back? Maybe I'll go all the way back to prevent Bill Martin from being hired as AD. [Title]

Output: I hope it's


Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Body] have found out the human race has survived and are deploying ships to finish the job. [Title]

Output: The "Engineers"


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] the summer olympics where Canada might get 5 medals total compared to 100 from team USA. [Title]

Output: Well there's always


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] awarded a medal yet only one counts toward the country medal count? Ice dancers each get a medal but only one counts. Swimming relay, track relay, basketball, bobsled, etc. It's not actually a true medal count. Shouldn't each medal awarded to an athlete count? Point is the US would probably destroy most countries in the medal count if it were done this way but the European led Olympic committee would not go for that. They won't even allow womens softball in because it's viewed as a US dominated sport. Now what are they going to do with speed skating? [Title]

Output: Each hockey team member gets


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] Sounds like they need to adjust the amount of speed skating events. How about we have 20 different alpine downhills at different lengths or 20 snowboard slopeside competitions with different obstacles? Better yet, why not count the medals for each team member in hockey because they are all competitors. [Title]

Output: 20 medals in one sport?


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Title]

Output: Putin brings out the walkers...


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] new olympic sport... [Title]

Output: Loved watching this


Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Body] on a bigger payday elsewhere. Last minute either Ohio or an SEC team swooped in with a load of cash. That stop any LOI being sent in. [Title]

Output: Mom has a line


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Body] another DUI so he gets fired? That might help the Lions win. [Title]

Output: How about


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Body] as the new Lions OC? [Title]

Output: Why not this Buckeye


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] after the ND game and didn't give two chits about Akron. Coaching first and foremost is to blame for overlooking this or any opponent. [Title]

Output: All slap happy


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] Bye Week. [Title]

Output: My team name....


Input: [Date] 2 years 3 weeks ago [Body] is getting old but I hit em well. Cleveland 9.5 degree Ti460 Launcher (My security blanket. When the rest of my game is crap I can always count on it.) Cleveland Launcher fairway wood 17 degree ( Other than my driver, I can hit this solid and a long way. Great on par 5's) Nickent 3DX 23 degree ironwood (Just ok. Usually hit or miss but better than I can hit a 3-iron). Callaway X-18 Pro Series Irons 4-PW (Great irons and can hit em straight although the distance isn't so great. Not sure if it's me or the irons.) Cleveland CG10 54 & 56 wedges (Doubt if there's a club out there that can save my awful chipping but I'm getting better. These do the job.) Odyssey #1 Whit Ice putter (Just replaced my Never Compromise mallet and getting closer to the hole has improved greatly. I have a much better feel for this putter.) [Title]

Output: My set


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Body] one true seer [Title]

Output: There is only


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title]

Output: yay!


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Body] he is referring to Mark Ratner's sister. "You know Damone I always stick up for you. They say oh, Damone that loud mouth - and they say that a lot. I say oh, no you just don't know Damone. I mean when they call you an idiot, I say Damone's not an idiot. Well, you know something maybe they know you pretty good. Maybe I'm just starting to find out." [Title]

Output: Maybe

Output: Just one more


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Oakland stadium as being one of the worst. Funny how it reminded me of Sparty stadium (also a worst pick). Browns stadium had the worst experience. All their fans want to do is fight and throw crap. Soldier Field has the worst architecture. Looked like the Jupiter II crashed into the old stadium. [Title]

Output: I'll second


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Does the entire team really need to clear the dugout each time a player crosses the plate? You'd think it was a walkoff. [Title]

Output: Softball annoyances


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Body] anyone can create an awesome highlight video. Wonder how many misses he left out? [Title]

Output: Given enough tries


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] are any other girls out there he has slept with in the past three years. [Title]

Output: Curious if there


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] because one cannot keep a lie such as this going on and on. Especially after college when a pro career would offer more opportunity to actually meet her. More and more people were more than likely asking about her so he had to end it. [Title]

Output: She had to die


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] has said he interviewed her in person. [Title]

Output: Mitch Albom


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] why Tressel was fired. [Title]

Output: You forgot to mention


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] How did Tressel "acquire" his players again? [Title]

Output: Let's see


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] involved in this cover up certainly had the agenda of the football program saving face and in turn not to hinder recruiting. I really dont know how people can sit there and say this had nothing to do with the football program. [Title]

Output: All the individuals


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 4 days ago [Body] This is the perfect comparison. Like Crisler was, Munn is badly in need of a facelift/updating. It's my understading that this is in the works and will be completed in a couple years. While it has been a down year for the B1G Ten, I'm hoping that with the BTN, that hockey is on the upswing. Would be great if we could add a couple more programs. [Title]

Output: Correct Sir


Input: [Date] 1 year 12 weeks ago [Body] I'm not saying we will win the B1G Ten or even finish 2nd or 3rd, but you name your price about us going to NIT. That will be the easiest money I've made in years. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Body] I'm not posting to comment on the jabs at MSU (I actually like our recruiting class a bunch), but I really LOVE the old Tyson highlights. If you watch the second slow motion replay, it's amazing that the guy's head is still connected to his body. Tyson gets his entire body into that punch. He was such an electric fighter to watch before he went to prison. The ultimate intimidator. [Title]

Output: Wow


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Body] Yes, I am just hearing these Narduzzi things. Hope he stays obviously. Hope we pay him. As for Hicks, he will be in the mix for the vacant FS job, but I think he is behind the other two guys. It will one of the few defensive jobs up for competition in the spring [Title]

Output: TexAM and Hicks


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Body] I don't think he leaves. Are there any HC openings besides Penn State (which he is not a candidate)? He was under consideration for some head coaching jobs, but didn't get them. I don't think he would leave to be a coordinator somewhere else. [Title]

Output: Narduzzi


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Body] There is no question that the largest question marks heading into 2012 will be replacing Cousins and our WRs. ANDREW MAXWELL - Barring an injury or something shocking, Maxwell will be our starting QB. He was a highly regarded recruit (Elite 11 QB finalist) and will be a redshirt junior with 4 years in the system come fall. With change, comes uncertainty. However, many believe Maxwell is more talented than Cousins and like any fanbase, there was a small percentage of whackos that were clammoring for Maxwell to start over Cousins this year. No matter how talented and "practiced up" you cannot replace game experience. Therfore, I expect there to be a learning curve with Maxwell and he will make bonehead mistakes that you expect from a first time starting QB. With that said, we aren't trotting out some true freshman and he doesn't have to carry the team, just play smart football and ease into the position. At WR's, we lose everyone. No way to sugarcoat it. We need 3 players to step up. Likely candidates are Arnett (assuming he recieves NCAA waiver), Burbridge (true freshman stud recruit), Bennie Fowler (had promising RS Frosh year in 2010 but was plagued by foot injury in 2011) and Tony Lippett. There are others, but these are the most likely. I personally feel that WRs and RBs are the easiest postions to replace. It's still hard, but I think young WRs and RBs can make an impact easier than say a young OLineman. The Oline was a huge concern in 2011. They were awful in the non-conference, but turned into a competent Oline by the end of the year. We return 4 0f 5 starters and expect them to move from competent to good next year. We return all of our RBs. Offense is a question mark, but I don't think it is crazy to think we can still be in the top half of B1G Ten offenses next year. [Title]

Output: Let's talk about the offense


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] And I mean that as a HUGE compliment. Not a perfect comparison, but Pickelman like RVB is often lost in the shadow of Jerel Worthy (Mike Martin). Both had humble beginings (Pick's were very humble (a MAC TE)) and have developed into extremely valuable cogs in the middle of their respective defenses. Hard work and minimal pub. The definition of football players. [Title]

Output: RVB is our Kevin Pickleman


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I'm asking these questions as a college football fan. I'm not upset about BCS. We had our crack at the Rose and lost. At least we had our shot. I also understand fully that the BCS "non championship games" are not based on finding the best two teams, but rather on $$$. [Title]

Output: Not Complaining


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I agree with this 100%. As an aside, last night was crushing, but it was not a SpartyNo. Our kids played a great game and had a great season. No reason to hang their heads at all. As the poster above said, I would not trade UM's season for ours. Congrats on the Sugar (sincerely), but MSU will not be mourning. I honestly don't really have any desire to play K-State in the Sugar Bowl. Being that close to the Rose Bowl, everything else feels like a let down. Also, I will be pulling for the B1G Ten in bowl games. We need to represent..... [Title]

Output: Thank You


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Body] I think MSU will have a good showing. It is not uncommon (even in the SEC) for tickets to go for below face value in championship games. Here is a link. http://www.indystar.com/article/20111130/SPORTS/111300368/Big-Ten-football-championship-game-Game-lacks-buzz-sellers?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|IndyStar.com|s [Title]

Output: MSU sold its allottment (see link)


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Small correction though. We will have a first year starting QB, but he will be a redshirt junior. We expect big things from Andrew Maxwell. Hope both teams are undefeated when they meet. [Title]

Output: Should be great game


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Figured the board would be in good spirits tonight......guess not. At the conclusion of a long regular season, I think both state schools should be proud. Nothing wrong with that IMO. [Title]

Output: Thanks Sheep


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Body] I think most pundits had you guys anywhere from 6 on the low end and 9 on the high end with most in the 8-4 range right? Great year. Great job by Hoke and his staff. [Title]

Output: 8?


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Body] Wiscy is famous for bombing out bad teams. Minny has improved on offense with Gray, but Wiscy OLine will wear out Minny and put up A TON of points. Bielema loves tacking on too. I could see a 50-17 type score. [Title]

Output: Wiscy is expert and blowouts


Input: [Date] 3 years 39 weeks ago [Body] We have a petition going on the MSU board I particpate on. I figure the more Big Ten fans that can get to Delaney the better. [Title]

Output: More Schools/fans the better


Input: [Date] 3 years 39 weeks ago [Body] Then put the Cap One game at 8:30. I'd still watch. Or stagger the start time so there is some overlap, but having all three kickoff at 1:00pm is just awful IMO. [Title]

Output: That's fine


Input: [Date] 3 years 39 weeks ago [Body] I would hope that most businesses close for Jan. 2nd. With New Years Eve and Day falling on the weekend, but yeah, that sucks. [Title]

Output: I would hope that most


Input: [Date] 3 years 39 weeks ago [Body] No clue what to expect out of the good guys (that's MSU) this year. We will probably get bombed by Duke and UNC in the non-conference, as always, and then rally for the big 10 season. HOWEVER, the Big Ten is going to be TOUGH top to bottom. Personally, I am just very happy to never have to watch Durrell Summers moap around anymore. I "like" the guys personalities on our team which makes it more fun to follow. I still can't get too fired up for basketball, while football is on though. [Title]

Output: Join the Club


Input: [Date] 3 years 39 weeks ago [Body] I can only speak for myself. I really place a high value on treating visitors with respect. Despite the running joke on this board, I think the majority of MSU fans especially alumni feel the same way. I'm not saying we are Nebraska (we're not), but I would guess that visitors from other Big Ten schools get treated better at MSU than Michigan fans do due to the rivalry. I wish we could have a respectable rivalry, but we don't. I've been to UM for the MSU game and don't think that UM fans don't taunt MSU folks. It goes both ways. Just look at how I get trashed on this board by "some" posters. It's very easy to use a wide paint brush. Not sure if I answered the question, but "yes", I would be embarassed if I saw an MSU alumni acted inappropriately. I don't think there is anything wrong with some good natured ribbing/trashtalk, but there is a line that everyone should know. [Title]

Output: I can only speak for myself.


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] I was not trying to be an A-Hole. I have read this board for over a year now and really enjoy discussing MSU football with UM fans to get a different perspective and also try to give my input on UM football to try to give a "rationale" MSU perspective. I didn't dream of coming on here on Saturday, Sunday or Monday and rubbing salt in the wounds. I just figured by Wednesday we could chat a little MSU/Wiscy and UM/MSU going forward in the Legends division. [Title]

Output: Not trying to be Jerk
