Input: [Date] 9 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Most all of the comments here are along the lines of "consider yourself lucky", etc., but the reality is that's exactly how the company most likely feels about you. At the risk of sounding like a complete asshole (a risk I knowingly run often), what happened here is really obvious: you showed that you didn't understand the industry or that you didn't care (neither is really worse than the other). As others have said, in union settings salary negotiation just doesn't really ever happen (and in fact the recruiter told you this, too). By attempting to negotiate you basically told the recruiter that you didn't understand the nature of the hiring process in the employer's field (or didn't care), and that's a big red flag. While it's true what others have said, and that you have thoroughly read in books and online that salary negation is commonplace, that is only the general rule and there will always be situations (and entire industries, in fact) where the general rule doesn't apply. There is nothing wrong with negotiating IF it's right for situation/industry/employer to which you are trying to gain employment, but when that isn't the practice of the situation/industry/employer and you do it anyway, that's almost always game over no matter how qualified you are and how well the interview process went up until that point. Long answer short: if you seek advice in books and on the Internet be sure it applies to your industry/situation/employer/location. [Title]

Input: [Date] 18 weeks 4 days ago [Body] They've done a sort of good job in recent years in ensuring that more goes into ensuring that new ABA law schools are oriented in the right direction (eg UC Irvine, Florida International), but in part their hands are tied because you don't need ABA accreditation to open a law school. Central Michigan could open up a law school (if the MI Supreme Court approved it) and not seek ABA accreditation. The consequence would be that their graduates could only sit for the bar exam in Michigan. This is part of what causes the "lawyer glut" - it's actually not that there are two many graduates (DOL numbers really don't bear that out - at least not in most states , but rather there are too many unqualified graduates entering the market place. This is why the state supreme courts are the ones who fault really falls back on - don't approve low quality schools and make the bar exams harder - at the quality of legal education (and outcomes) completely changes. [Title]

Output: They've done a sort of good


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 4 days ago [Body] That ranking logic only holds up if you're interested in those particular paths. That said, if a prospective student isn't interested in those options (eg if thy want to be a prosecutor), they probably should be choosing their school on completely different criteria anyway. Basically, the rankings are not one size fits all; it comes down to individual fit. [Title]

Output: That ranking logic only holds


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 4 days ago [Body] That is an absolute shame. I'm sorry to hear that. The CSO is such an easy (and obvious) thing for schools to ensure has proper resources and why they don't is beyond me. My law school experience with CSO was somewhat like you describe, but that's exactly what motivated me to do it different when I made the jump back from private practice. It just can't be done effectively by hiring an alum that just needs a job; just can't. It requires a legit skill set (either in place or that can developed). The thing about focuses only on OCI students is awful, too. Just makes no sense. Honestly, what I will say, though, is that the whole "network network network" thing actually does work. The problem, though, is no one wants to hear that because (1) it isn't necessarily easy and (2) it just sounds like really cheap advice. It's PART of an effective search strategy, but it can't be the only part (nor can it be presented to a student/graduate that way). [Title]

Output: That is an absolute shame.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I don't disagree with you in any way about oversight and credentialing of new schools (the ABA and state supreme courts are a big part of the problem there), but that's an entirely separate issue from the outcomes data collection protocol. I also don't disagree that some (emphasis on some) schools in the past absolutely did inflate outcomes data. Really about the only way to "inflate" outcomes now, though, is through generous bridge to practice fellowship programs (to the point the positions are university funded full time for more than one year), but even those positions get a special line item on the ABA employment outcome report for each school (I'm talking the new one that hasn't been released yet, but will be public for next year - the current report actually has an entirely separate box grid for these positions) and they have a significant negative weighting now with US News. That said, even these programs aren't all to "inflate" - some/many schools use them to help transition graduates into incredibly competitive (in the post-PSLF era) "public service" jobs by defeating the organization's cost (which is very important for non-profits and budget restricted government entities). My point in saying this is that this last part is that even those have nuanced meaning on the outcomes report. This isn't the old era anymore where schools can just make stuff up and submit it to NALP. There are real consequences for failing your audit. [Title]

Output: I don't disagree with you in

Input: [Date] 18 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I explained in my prior post (to which you responded) what I do and from where my perspective comes. I'm not shilling, but rather just have no problem stating that it's more likely than not that he didn't utilize his CSO properly. If someone ever says "they just out emails" or "they just told me to go network" it's a dead giveaway that they didn't utilize everything they paid for. I say "willing to bet" because most likely it's true (and you didn't provide anything to refute it), as there is a strong correlation between those who complain loudest about the quality of a CSO and those who underutilized their CSO. That said, and this is somewhat altered by another of his posts below (or above? - I'm on the app), his experience with the CSO at Michigan is dated (and may not, at all, reflect the nature of their CSO today). If it is untrue, I'm sorry that he (and it appears you, as well) went to a school that didn't have adequate support for you and you classmates. I've done this for quite awhile now, and to great impact, and I can absolutely tell you that the value of the CSO can absolutely make or break the quality of outcomes. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] That's quite interesting, Bluebells and maize (appropriate username for this topic). I wonder if there's a common genesis that both of these were copied from or if it's completely coincidental. The fact that you've also seen it other places would seem to point to the latter. I forget to mention that the typo's in the lyrics to the Yellow and Blue, not the Victors. They're listed on facing pages in that book. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] Minor quibble (and maybe this has been discussed before), but he might be able to practice with the team (but not play in a game) without counting as a footbal scholarship. The NCAA rule book distinguishes between players who were "recruited...and/or offered financial aid to participate in football" and those who weren't. I don't know if that means recruited by any NCAA school or by the school he ends up attending. Assuming it's the latter, he could redshirt with the football team before he and the coaches decide if he's going to continue. If he's going to redshirt for wrestling anyway and he's not sure about his choice, that's an option. It would also depend on if he'd consider participating in both sports at the same time. That would be difficult since the two seasons overlap by at least a month, but it's been done before. [Title]

We are 1 of the 12, therefiore we have a 1 in 12 chance. Using this logic, if 12 teams were going to get good news, Michigan's shot is still 1 in 12? 1 in 6 is the correct number. /nerd [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 5 days ago [Body] I think it's clear from most of the responses in this thread that Hoke is seen as strict on rule-breakers. You might argue that he hasn't done enough to deserve that reputation, but based on what we've seen I don't have a reason to doubt it. Stonum's punishment certainly could have benefited the team this year if he hadn't messed up again, but don't forget the environment at the time. Hoke was going into his first year as a coach of a major program and had many fans questioning his ability to lead Michigan. It's unlikely that he anticipated the team would have such a good year. At the time I'm sure he was much more focused on having a successful initial campaign then stockpiling talent for 2012. We still seem to disagree about kicking Toussaint off the team. My point is that I don't think dismissing him after his first offense is what people here are talking about when they say Michigan's staff isn't as lenient as other staffs. That's the most severe action Hoke could take against him and there is certainly some middle ground between that and what other schools have done. We'll have to wait and see what Hoke does with Toussaint and Clark, but I still think there are valid reasons to contrast Hoke's actions in his first year with those of some of the coaches of rival schools. [Title]

Output: I think it's clear from most


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Body] Didn't Floyd have a .20 BAC when he got his DUI? You could argue that a DUI is a DUI. But then you'd be wrong Wasn't that Floyd's third alcohol related offense in less than two years? Toussaint has no such pattern to indicate this might be a much more serious problem. Even if Toussaint does play against Alabama, the Stonum situation was much more analogous. Hoke sat him for the entire year. [Title]

Output: Didn't Floyd have a .20 BAC when he got his DUI?


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Body] Since when does Hoke not have an image of being strict? Can you actually point to anything he's done that makes you think he'll take issues of this magnitude lightly? Also, you seem to equate this to morality, but I just see as doing what's best for the players and the program in the long run. Assuming Toussaint and Clark did what it seems they did, I think Hoke would be short-sighted to play them against Alabama. Finally, I don't see a lot of people advocating kicking Toussaint off the team. Maybe that's "as good" as you'd like to think Michigan is, but be careful when speaking for the entire fan base. I know that's not the image I have of the program, but maybe that's just because I know kids who have been ticketed for DUI (an admittedly reckless and dangerous act) and were able to turn themselves around. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Body] I will add another PI here: the last play of the game. I thought it was clearly interference live and the replay did nothing to change my mind. I believe the announcers were discussing it as well, though I was too sick at that point to really listen to them much. I'm not trying to pull a Penn State circa 2005 and say anyone was in the bag, just that it's undeniable that the officiating was not good - to Michigan's detriment. There were many self inflicted wounds (4th and 7 argh!), but those three uncalled PIs were killer. I can only think of one close call that went Michigan's way: the 4th and 1 illegal snap. Live I thought Mike Martin got away with one, but the replay showed that the call was definitely correct (though frankly Martin was lucky someone on the officiating crew caught it because of how subtle it was - it could have easily been missed and he would have given Iowa the free first down at a critical point in the game). The fumble and the Vincent Smith TD run being overturned were clearly correct calls. The Hemingway TD was close enough that it's hard to blame the refs or the replay official (though, for the record, it looked like the ball didn't move and I was hoping it would be an anti MSU v Wisconsin). I thought there were a few missed holding calls, but they went both ways. Those the PI no-calls, along with one or two others that looked like probable defensive holdings but were at the edge of the TV picture and weren't thrown at, are probably the game's biggest storyline for me. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Come on chitown, what are you trying to do here? You're blasting rbgoblue completely unfairly for complaining about the dust-up with Schwartz and misrepresenting his take on Harbaugh's comments at Stanford. I think he made his point quite obvious: It is pretty clear that Harbaugh has long since traded in his alma mater for his own personal benefit, evidenced no clearer than by his words and actions When many fans are excusing his behavior in the NFL and NCAA because of his ties to Michigan, it's completely reasonable to question his actions with respect to the university. This has nothing to do with playing gatekeeper to the Michigan man club. For the record, I can't blame Harbaugh for taking the 49ers job if that's what he really wanted to do. I do think, on the other hand, Harbaugh was not only hypocritical and self-serving, but also wrong, cowardly, and (disagree if you want) ungrateful when he made his infamous comments. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Apples to apple-type-substance: "$16.6 million of Illinois’ $22.6 million check comes from television rights" ( http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/19/illinois-swimming-in-pool-of-money-after-big-ten-network-check/ ). The BTN is producing basically as much revenue for the conference as the ABC/ESPN deal. What I'm not sure about is how much of the BTN money to attribute to other sports (mainly basketball). I think it's safe to assume that the vast majority is from football, however, and that the revenue will continue to rise in coming years. As for the bowls, both Michigan and Notre Dame make money from them. They both get a slice from the BCS (though Michigan's is usually a bit bigger). ND gets all the money from any bowl it plays in but nothing else. Michigan gets some extra money from the conference for making a bowl game ("travel budget") and surrenders the rest. However, it gets an equal share of all of the members' excess bowl revenue. I don't know whose take is more on average, but Michigan's is certainly more consistent. Watch out if ND starts making BCS bowls on the regular, though. [Title]

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Body] It seems to me that you and I will never agree, since the core of my argument is that the playoffs should be decided by series (7 game series at that) in order to determine who is the better team. Short series and the spacing between the games allow teams to roll out their aces twice a series, whereas longer series are a test of depth. Baseball has always been about the depth of teams. That is why the regular season is so long, and that is why until recently it was considered absurd to have anything but series. I don't entirely disagree with you and see that there is some merit to your reasoning, but I disagree with you entirely that these benefits outweigh the assault on the very core of the game itself. There are 162 games in the regular season, and if one wildcard makes it in by a couple games over the next best ones, then so be it. Just like the Braves, they could have helped themselves by winning their games. [Title]

Output: It seems to me that you and I


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I understand these arguments, but I think some of the positive components of what you outline are overridden by what happened in 2012 during the first iteration of this format. A 94 win Braves team had to play an 88 win Cardinals team and ultimately lost a game played under protest due to one of the worst calls I have ever seen. Anyone who watched that game - which wasn't many because it started at 5PM on a Friday - should understand why a one game anything in baseball is not tenable; precisely because of that randomness. That the Cards went on to win the WS is a moot point, as they had no business being given equal treatment to a team that had a 6 game advantage on them, which played in a superior division, and which had won 5 of the 6 games against the Cardinals that season. Any benefit is far outweighed by the above being allowed to happen. [Title]

Output: I understand these arguments,


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Body] An individual baseball game is more "random" because there are far more variables at work than there are in basketball, for example, where the same 6-8 guys play the same 6-8 other who run more or less the same plays. In baseball the batter-pitcher matchup, coupled with just how difficult it is for the offense to score in general produces such outcomes. I think baseball would be less "random" if the playoffs were as inclusive as other leagues, where the top 6-8 from the AL/NL each make it and they play a 7 game series (5 game series are too short IMO). In that scenario I think the better teams would win out at a similar rate as in football. That being said, I would hate that as a baseball fan. I think the 1 game play-in game is an abomination that should be strapped to an ICBM and launched into the sun. [Title]

Output: Baseball is somewhat random

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 2 days ago [Body] In the student section right behind a group of 30 or so PSU fans that were huge assholes to everyone around them the entire time. I can't believe how many M students sold their tickets during fall break; A2 was INFESTED with PSU bros that weekend. They were out on South U and elsewhere picking fights and whatnot the Friday before. Funny how they didn't seem to be around on Saturday night. This is when I lost all respect for PSU, well before the most recent...events. This and Braylonfest were the two best live moments in sports for me. That Saturday was one of the biggest party nights that took place while I was at M. I think because it was a generally terrible season to that point and the game ended at night the student body turned it up to 11. [Title]

Output: In the student section right


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 2 days ago [Body] If I'm not mistaken that correction has to do with the speed of the satellite in orbit being faster than the speed of someone standing on the surface. The same principle would apply if you placed a clock on an extremely tall tower - the top is rotating faster than the base. These are two different principles at work here. Says that guy who's never taken physics, anyway (me). [Title]

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Body] At some point doesn't the University have to consider how far it is willing to go to remain competitive in this environment?

I think we are currently very near the edge of the envelope. [Title]

Input: [Date] 12 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I think my senior year (07-08) was probably the last year you could really sneak in as a late night destination. They kept everything locked, but we found a tree next to the fence on the on the Crisler side that was helpful in getting over the fence. Depending on the security guard's enthusiasm and weather, you could get a lot of time in on the field. It was pretty epic after a fresh snow. The best part is that the security lights were bright enough for you to see pretty well. I'm sure it's totally different now. Thanks, Dave Brandon. [Title]

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I'm not really sure they are at a disadvantage in recruiting because Michigan is running a series of half day camps in the South. Auburn is permanently located in Alabama, so I don't think things have changed. Plus they pay their players, etc. They are just whining because they are babies. Also I think it's hilarious that Auburn thinks it is a bigger name than Michigan. [Title]

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I had similar experience too, and it was an extremely bizarre feeling. On one hand I wanted us to ruin what I perceived at the time to be a small chance they would make the playoffs, just so I could be assured that they wouldn't win it all. On the other, I felt as you described - I needed Michigan to lose to ensure Hoke wouldn't be retained. I don't know if I was happy, but I sure wasn't upset about the whole thing. I hope I never have to feel like that again. [Title]

I ask bc depth isnt that bad in some areas, and perhaps taking a class of 10-12 now would be better then a full 16. Next year 16 spots appear to be open, and with a year of HARBAUGH maybe he has a better chance to grab that elite talent next season. Just curious what everyone else thinks,

Output: May I also add, why do non-revenue athletes deserve such lavish facilities and special treatment (on top of free tuition) that the other 98% of students at the University don't receive? Plenty of students participate in extra-curricular activities that don't produce revenue for the school.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 4 days ago [Title] You do realize that [Body]

Output: You do realize that non-revenue athletes receive this level of support due to the price gouging tactics of Dave Brandon? When the future donors dry up due to his mismanagement of the customer relationship with students, alumni, and fans, watch the world class support of non-revenue sports dry up. They won't be able to afford it.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] You Are Insane [Body]

Output: I'm sorry, but you are either extremely naive or insane if you think you can find 5 tickets for less than $200 to the biggest game of the year. The issue with Crisler is that there is an extremely limited number of seats (around 13k) relative to the demand to attend this game. That means scalped tickets, whether StubHub or outside Crisler will stay inflated. Besides, the empty seats you saw during the UM v. Purdue game (the home one that took place several weeks ago) were likely in the student overflow sections. Meaning those tickets were sold and the ticket holders did not show up. It's not like there are blocks of unsold tickets out there, especially this year. If you really want to go, pony up the cash on StubHub. If you want to be cheap, no shame in staying home and watching on CBS. Besides, it probably wouldn't be wise to bring small children to a game that will have such a rowdy and intense atmosphere. Break them in with a Northwestern or non-conference game.


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] Weishar [Body]

Output: I have no insight on where Weishar is leaning, or if Michigan would need him in the 2014 class. However, I went to school with Weishar's cousin (a Michigan graduate). I know that he has been in this kid's ear for years about Michigan and they visited Ann Arbor together this past fall. Take that for what it's worth, but I wouldn't think that he is an ND lean as suggested above.

You sound like a 15 year old going on his first ever date. (FYI, I don't have a problem with the thread. I just think your "Cool Stroy Bro" comments about meeting girls at the movie reflect poorly on you. Please make some real friends.)

Output: More likely comes from having an unreliable walk-on kicker who burned them early in the season.

Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Title] Data Issue? [Body]

Output: Not sure where you're getting your data, but Western Michigan defeated UMass (in a blowout actually, 52-14). Might want to double check some of the results in your data set in order to get a more accurate metric.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] I understand the math [Body]

Output: Yes, Champions for Charity makes a very small profit. However, you do not have visibility as to what makes up the operating costs that take up at a minimum $25 of a $32-36 entry fee. Salaries for CFC employees are likely built into that cost considering their business model Perhaps our AD believes that he can use existing resources (people already on salary, stadium resources, etc.) so that the margin funneled to charities will be much larger.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Read Brandon's Comments [Body]

Output: It sounded like Brandon's decision to cancel the race had more to do with Champions for Charity's "for-profit" status than anything else. However, I would not be surprised if his comments today about hosting their own race were damage control due to backlash yesterday. I had read on a separate annarbor.com article that CFC takes approximately $25-30 of the $36 entry fee for costs and profits, while the remainder is funneled to the charities. I'm sure Brandon, as egotistical as he is, believe Michigan could manage the race and donate a higher percentage to charities. Anyways, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. For what it's worth, the CFC representative claimed that they offered to let the Michigan AD manage the race.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Associate athletic [Body]

Output: Associate athletic director Dave Ablauf, who handles media and communication for the department, said the run no longer fit into the department's charitable mission. "Really the decision in the end came down to our external focus," said Ablauf. The department announced last monththat it would begin partnering with the Special Olympics of Michigan for community service efforts. The first event of that partnership is the "Polar Plunge" at Michigan Stadium on February 23, 2013. That partnership, Ablauf said, has become the department's priority. Ablauf said the run had become "a very challenging event... to fit into our stadium." "We have our own private rental program, we're doing stuff with the special olympics and we have a lot of things we do now in the that stadium," Ablauf offered.

Output: Not sure what time the game is this year. If there is time, I would suggest making the few hour drive to Bloomington that night. Much better nightlife/ town at IU in Bloomington than West Lafayette. Nick's bar in Bloomington is fantastic. The W Lafayette bars (only maybe 4 of them) are geared towards college kids.

Output: Were the Yahoo! comments a little out of line? Probably Are you being ridiculously oversensitive to a sarcastic piece of writing? Yes. I'm really sick of this politically correct crowd. If you don't like what someone writes, stop reading their work... and certainly don't link their work and give them more page views.


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Body]

Output: Does he really speak to them? From the sounds of it, he justs texts and tweets them. I agree, if he wants more credibility, he should reveal his identity.


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Title] Aquaman, Chet [Body]

Output: Please no twitter/facebook/text stalking of any of these potential guys until after a committment is made. Don't want some creeper scaring them off last minute, badgering him for an interview.


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Title] Confused [Body]

Output: Are recruits scared off by the guys we already have or is this just a matter of getting in too late? This one puzzles me because the kid is from Ohio, friends with Kalis, and would have a much friendlier depth chart at Mich. Also, the fact that he previously committed to BC means it likely isn't a weather thing. Oh well, on to the next one.


Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Title] Perhaps [Body]

Output: Perhaps you shouldn't bug these recruits every other day looking for a quote. As nice at is to have new content, it honestly doesn't clue us in on new information. Frankly, if this turns off Armani to Michigan...well, I think we have our scapegoat.


Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Title] Hoke [Body]

Output: This why you continue to recruit Diamond, Garnett, and Kozan even though we're "full" at the position. Things like this happen all the time. Love the way Hoke recruits. This staff is so impressive.


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Front Page? [Body]

Output: This is ok content, but do these really need to be frontpaged? This bumps down the Stonum story, which is clearly a huge deal and impactful to the future of the team. Just seems like this kind of thing should be a diary.


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Great Stuff [Body]

Output: Everyone has beat me to it, but I have to give a ton of credit to Tremendous for filling the void as a true "free" Michigan recruiting hub. These guys are doing what TomVH did in a very short time. Keep up the good work, you definitely have gained one loyal reader. I've found myself heading to Tremendous first over this place when I need my recruiting fix.


Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Dodson? [Body]

Output: Kyle Dodson, OL committed to Wisconsin. Weren't there rumblings of him potentially visiting M/ re-opening his recruitment?


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

Output: Yet you took time out of your busy schedule to reply twice. Thanks for the insight troll.

Output: No mention of the epic "Brian Cook Photobomb" thread from the weekend? If this was Lloyd Brady or Facepalm guy that would've been frontpaged for sure. /just sayin'


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Sugar Bowl [Body]

Output: So the Sugar Bowl is only paying out around $12 million this year instead of the full $34 million. If so, who keeps those profits? Seems like $20 million is a pretty good incentive to not take a non-AQ like Boise as an at large.


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Body]

Output: Troll alert


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Title] We Are Fans [Body]

Output: Obviously for the players, we want them to focus on Nebraska. But as fans we can feel free to start looking to our biggest rivalry. I am so sick of other fans on this board telling us to focus "one game at a time." We speculate, we look ahead, that's the fun of being a fan.


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Nebraska Fans [Body]

Output: I always hear around bowl season how unbelievably well Nebraska fans travel. I guess we'll see first hand, but I'm sure Neb fans will flood the Big House more than any of our visitor fans to this point in the season. Does anyone know how well Nebraska fans represented at Wisconsin and Minny this year?


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Body]

Output: Good thing I care so deeply about points. You know what, I agree with you now. Rich Rodriguez should be the top candidate for every D1 job opening.


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Perfect Fit [Body]

Output: This way Rich can get embarrassed by Mississippi State every year


Input: [Date] 3 years 39 weeks ago [Title] REAL Truth? [Body]

Output: While I think Bacon's book is the closest we'll ever get to knowing the mess behind the past few years, there are quite a few things in there that may be stretching the truth a bit. It's not as if Bacon was completely impartial.


Input: [Date] 3 years 39 weeks ago [Title] 2009 [Body]

Output: The year in question is 2009 (not 2008), where, yes, we were 4-0 going into East Lansing


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

Output: It's remarkable how far Lloyd set back this program with some of his actions (however, a more in control AD would have squashed that so the blame isn't all on him). Trying to block the Miles hire over petty jealously (wasn't Carr famously upset with Miles negative recruiting against him) and then undermining the coach that was hired. It's hard to fathom where we'd be talent wise on year 4 of the Les Miles regime.


Input: [Date] 3 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Michigan Bar in Zanzibar? [Body]

Output: Hey guys, I know this is off topic, but this seemed like the perfect thread to post in. My friend's cousin's girlfriend's father is traveling on business to Zanzibar this week and doesn't know a place where he can catch this weeks episode of "Inside Michigan Football" with other M fans. Anyone know a place (didn't see it on the spreadsheet)? Crazy right? This guy just loves the Hoke-Brandstater dynamic and can't go a week without watching.


Input: [Date] 3 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Sorry for the double post [Body]

Output: I think Hoke has changed the tide on the rivalry. Selling jerseys in Ohio is a good start...


Input: [Date] 3 years 40 weeks ago [Body]

Output: Just got that as well. What a joke. Then again, there are people out there (losers in my opinion) that will buy these atrocities and feed this beast. I guess the joke is on us.


Input: [Date] 3 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Also [Body]

Output: To me, it feels like it's Dave Brandon's mission to make "his mark" on the program while he has the power. Frankly, I'm annoyed, but it also does seem like we have been getting more national attention than in the Carr days (maybe this is a product of the Twitter generation/ 24 hr news cycle)


Input: [Date] 3 years 40 weeks ago [Title] David Brandon's Ego [Body]

Output: While I think ultimately Dave Brandon has the best interest of the program at heart, he lets his ego get in the way of his decisions too much. Sometimes it's more about Dave Brandon telling people he's right/ he knows more than just apologizing for the mistake (Pop Evil, Clown Unis, etc.) and moving on. He seems to have surrounded himself with a bunch of yes men.


Input: [Date] 3 years 43 weeks ago [Title] Actually [Body]

Output: If you read the quote carefully, he says the players are the "core customers." Apparently we, the people who buy tickets and merchandise, are simply ignored.That comment (from the M marketing guy) really irks me.


Input: [Date] 3 years 43 weeks ago [Title] Additionally [Body]

Output: Let me further clarify that this is not a "kids these days" rant. This song is simply that bad and is an embarrassment on the level of "We are ND" or, say, having "The Situation" on our sideline. In my opinion, it just seems way too busch league for the winningest program in college football.


Input: [Date] 3 years 43 weeks ago [Title] Sorry, Song is Awful [Body]

Output: I rarely post and haven't in a while but this issue really annoys me. I actually enjoy some moderate piped in music (especially pumping up fans while we're on D), but this song is an absolute abomination and needs to be killed immediately. Are we going to start playing songs from any band that plays out of their mom's garage just because it talks about Michigan? I think this is one issue that can unify the fanbase. Everyone I talk to HATES this song. Players can't get everything they want. If they love it so much, they can put it on their iPod or watch the video on YouTube. Just don't force me and 110,000 others to listen to this garbage.

Output: OMG SHIRTLESS!


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

Output: lawyered


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Bo is [Body]

Output: Bo is rolling over in his grave right now. While this is mostly Rosenberg being Rosenberg, these players need to be "outed" and possibly kicked off the team. There is no room for traitors in this program, GTFO.


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Title] PG [Body]

Output: http://www.umhoops.com/2009/08/03/weekend-roundup-8-3-09/ Would Grady have been nice for depth? Yes But, him leaving provides an extra scholarship that is more valuable especially given that Grady would've been the 3rd pg behind Morris and LLP.


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Can't Wait for Devin Gardner [Body]

Output: Man, I cannot wait for Devin Gardner to get in here next year and start a QB debate that doesn't involve a weak, immobile walk-on. Sheridan may be a hell of a guy, but he's just not D1 caliber.


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Title] No, No, No [Body]

Output: You're comparing a walk-on to highly recruited talent in Henne. There is no comparison. It's very possible that Sheridan has absolutely maxed out his abilities regardless of how hard he works. We have to remember this kid had no D1 offers. He's simply not very talented. He does not have a high ceiling. Playbook knowledge only works if you can make the throws and runs needed, which Sheridan clearly can't. Maybe he's better than death, but that's not good enough.


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Exactly [Body]

Output: Regardless how Sheridan looks against our porous defense (yes our defense is not very good even with GERG, accept it) in practice, he has proven to choke in game situations. His knowledge of the playbook may be great, but he made terrible decisions in games last year (e.g. Notre Dame, Toledo, and N'Western games). He didn't show improvement after his "breakout" performance against Minnesota. Not that we know how the freshmen will react in game situations, I can't imagine that they could be any less composed than Nick Sheridan. For whatever reason, I'm starting to worry about us getting through this WMU game if Sheridan sees significant time. Maybe I'm just wary because of the last 2 years season openers.


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Title] New Cowboys Stadium [Body]

Output: Not only did that HD screen look gaudy as hell, but it also interferes with punts. How they didn't see that coming is beyond me. Anyways, waste of money to do something like that for us. It would be better spent upgrading Crisler and building the new basketball practice facility.


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Title] What about Benny's? [Body]

Output: Angelo's is great, but I can't believe nobody has mentioned Benny's Family Dining off S. Industrial. It's cheap, has enormous portion sizes, and everything is pretty good. You can always get a solid omelette there. It does get crowded around 10, though, so get there earlier if you can.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] I would like to suggest 4:03 [Body]

Output: I would like to suggest 4:03 as an alternate for "most 80s screencap".


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I think that's the effect of [Body]

Output: I think that's the effect of the frequent posting of the bear video.


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] I always thought it was the "C" that needed the [Body]

Output: I always thought it was the "C" that needed the most help. I can at least hear the "H". The best I can think of is freshman year, when I saw a bunch of the guys on my floor of markley repeatedly looking in then running away from this room. Turned out to be a bat, so I helped one dude steer it into a clothes basket, and when a girl and a dps officer blocked my way into the lobby, all I could think to say was "uh, I have a bat." She got this horrified look on her face and moves out of the way. Just don't get what's so scary about bats if you got your shots and have nothing against modern medicene.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 5 days ago [Title] That was [Body]

Output: That was beautiful.

Output: It seems like a slight to bears, but I suppose I must support this.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Title] This is a fair point that I see few posters [Body]

Output: This is a fair point that I see few posters making. Can't blame players for supporting their staff, I just hope they can come to appreciate the fan's point of view, too.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I agree wholeheartedly. Point #3 is especially [Body]

Output: I agree wholeheartedly. Point #3 is especially significant to me because of the way people have been trying to argue that this is just about losses, and that very serious personal harm to one of the players is being misused on a "witch hunt". Thank you for expressing this so well.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Yeah, how can these [Body]

Output: Yeah, how can these commenters be claiming player safety is their #1 priority? They must be lying or stupid. I mean, we need to hold internet comments to a certain standard.

Output: Should that be Utah in the first paragraph instead of Miami? At first I thought you were referencing last week.

Output: Did you copy the HenneChart for Golson from another post? You have the opponent as Northwestern.

Output: That sounded a little out-of-place. I mean usually there's not a lot of casual swearing going on here, right? I know sometimes its kind of appropriate in extreme situations (the horseface thing for example) but not for calm-mood-preview-type-stuff. It just jumped out at me for some reason, but I enjoyed the read otherwise.

Output: Nevermind, sorry, I have it now! Also, I appreciate you guys releasing it in a convenient digital form since I don't have kindle or the like.


Input: [Date] 1 year 1 day ago [Title] On a related note... [Body]

Output: If I did the draftkings deal to get a digital copy (procrastinated too long on the kickstarter, apologies) should I have heard something by now or are the lists of emails still coming in and it will take some time? I don't mind waiting, I'm just worried I signed up incorrectly somehow.

Output: Intentional? I don't think so, but kind of hope it is. Council Member Brian Robb said he hopes "we can just put this behind us."


Input: [Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Title] I am kind of conflicted on this as well. Happy [Body]

Output: I am kind of conflicted on this as well. Happy that the AD might be getting the message that they've gone way too far. Sad that this seems to be the only way to get a reaction.

Output: I think you had pretty solid reasoning for everything, nice job. The burned redshirts that are the "easiest" to criticize are that way to us because of information we have now. They were still tough decisions, but would sound way more reasonable without knowing say, how few snaps Morris would get or how much pressure Taco would generate.

After losing to Michigan State I wasnt very excited about going. but once I drove the 9 hours to get there and sat in the big house it reminds me how much I love michigan and Ann Arbor. Maybe it's different if you live close to Ann Arbor, but no matter how bad things are going, I know that once I arrive I will have a smile on my face.

Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] I so sick of this site censoring every little thing worth talking about. Isn't there a way to delete the nasty posts, and let the interesting ones go. If you must lock a topic, why cant you at least leave a majority of the posts while not allowing any more replies so people can follow some of the debate. We cant be critical of the coaching staff, can't ever be critical of any recruit no matter how selfish they act or what they say, or if they take pics of stacks of cash or pose with bongs. You might as well just write what we should all think and forget the board, because its getting beyond ridiculous. [Title]

Output: I so sick of this site

Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Body] How about posts that begin with an apology. "Sorry Im not an expert," or " Sorry if this has been posted already," or "Sorry this is from my iphone," or "Sorry im late to the discussion, I just now was able to remove the pickle." You know, stuff like that. [Title]

Output: How about posts that begin


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Body] As an ISU grad i can say that's not all true. Our basketball program doesnt suck, football program has grown a lot in the past decade, our women's sports are good, and iowa state has great vet, engineering, business, computer, and ag programs. Not a lot of eyeballs agreed, but there's still a lot ISU could offer the big ten. Our fan base bought all or just about all the allotted tickets to a bad bowl game against an opponent they already beat. [Title]

Output: As an ISU grad i can say

Input: [Date] 2 years 29 weeks ago [Body] I tired of this subject just like im tired of people pretending to care about the health of people they don't know. Let people be informed and then let them live with the consequences of their own decisions good or bad. Anything less is just another excuss to tell people how to live their lives because you think you know better and you know what's good for them. [Title]

Output: I tired of this subject just


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] I dont get this at all. Can we at least get him a few more looks on offense before we banish him to the CB depth chart? Enough with the mgokissup line of..."well I trust the coaches." They're human, they make mistakes, and not above criticism...see Al Borges. [Title]

Output: I dont get this at all. Can


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] A team from the north playing a team from the south in their backyard, no thanks. The structure is old. I'd be more interested in playing in boise against a different conference than being a part of another big ten embarrassment with all eyes on the s.e.c vs big ten scoreboard, especially this year. [Title]

Output: A team from the north playing


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] I dont get how whining and being critical about the coaches gets you banned, but calling people asshats is somehow okay? If someone is offbase on their opinion, the board will let them know. [Title]

Output: I dont get how whining and


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Body] I went to both games the last two years. Many more neb. fans in ann arbor than michigan fans in lincoln. I had the unfortunate pleasue of sitting next to a neb. fan who was also a spartan grad. He wasn't too horrible but you knew from sitting next to him that something just wasnt right. I think the tailgating is about the worst along with iowa city. Fans overall were nice. I did find it funny though I ran into the same husker fan outside the stadium twice who kept swearing and telling me to take off my michigan jersey. I asked a lot of neb fans last year ( including my father) how they were treated in Ann Arbor, and all of them said michigan fans treated them fine and they liked being in ann arbor. good all around fan experience i think for both fan bases. [Title]

Output: I went to both games the last

Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Body] There isn't a room left in lincoln under 260$ before taxes. I was in ann arbor for last years game and plan on enjoying this game just as much. Anyone from Michigan making the journey to lincoln? [Title]

Output: There isn't a room left in


Input: [Date] 1 day 5 hours ago [Title] Anyone else find it odd that [Body]

Output: Anyone else find it odd that this post is about Meyer/Harbaugh and all the comments are about Dantanio and how obsessed MSU is with us? Seems the other way around to me.


Input: [Date] 1 day 7 hours ago [Title] Completely agree. Forcing a [Body]

Output: Completely agree. Forcing a wild animal to live its life in a cage for our amusement is a huge turn off.

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I feel like i'm missing [Body]

Output: I feel like i'm missing something here. Your blood boils when OSU fans vacation in Michigan but you're a MIchigan fan living in Ohio?


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I actually scrolled down to [Body]

Output: I actually scrolled down to see if anyone remembered Salute your shorts. Donkey Lips is such a great name.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Is it really Harbaugh finding [Body]

Output: Is it really Harbaugh finding gems or is it just lazy recruiting sites slapping generic 3 star labels on anyone they haven't seen who commits to a major university?

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I agree with you on that. [Body]

Output: I agree with you on that. Anything citing California and finances together should be taken with a grain of salt. That's just 1 article out of many though that reach the same conclusion.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Well sure. If someone was [Body]

Output: Well sure. If someone was sentenced to death, escorted outside, and then shot the death penalty would be insanely cost effective compared to life in prison. Unfortunately the death penalty is part of the legal system.

Output: Forbes also did a study and has a pretty good numbers rundown. On my phone so can't link.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Death penalty trials alone [Body]

Output: Death penalty trials alone cost an average of 1 million more than trials seeking life in prison. Then factor in like an average of 44 (I think) appeals per death penalty case as opposed to single digit appeals for life in prison cases. Then housing death row inmates is at least twice as expensive as lifers and it adds up pretty quickly.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I'd like to preface this [Body]

Output: I'd like to preface this statement by saying I fully support the death penalty but it's been proven that the death penalty is a much larger burden on taxpayers than life in prison.

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I can't believe I had to [Body]

Output: I can't believe I had to scroll down this far to finally see SoA. The episode when Opie died was the most shocking episode of TV I can recall. I spent days trying to convince myself it wasn't real.

Output: As far as I know they approved a change where they will be able to start doing satellite camps starting in 2016 and that's only if they are unable to get them banned across all conferences first.

Output: Anyone who has read the comics care to explain how this would even be a fight? Wouldn't Superman kill Batman whenever he wanted? The powers between the 2 isn't comparable.
