Input: [Date] 30 weeks 4 days ago [Title] It's been about a week that [Body]

Output: It's been about a week that Brian has seemingly believed that there is a better then good chance that Harbaugh was coming to Michigan right? All of that has been based on what are probably reliable sources, but he's been saying for days that his email box is flooded with credible pieces of info that point to Harbaugh returning to Michigan. So why last night does he post a front page piece stating that he is 99% sure that it's a done deal? He has been saying all along it is happening unless Harbaugh has a last minute change of heart. Yesterday's post doesn't happen because he go a 1000 more pieces of circumstantial evidence - Harbaugh could still change his mind. That post only happens because Brian has very very very good reason to believe it is signed, sealed, and delivered in writing.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Only a handful of people [Body]

Output: Only a handful of people would have been in that room, so his information is still second or third hand right? Credible, but there is still a margin of error in that it could be false. But my guess is he has credible information that there is a written agreement and all of the circumstantial evidence bolsters that piece of information.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Agreed [Body]

Output: And to take it a step further I fully believe there is a signed contract at this point. Brian mentioned that he doesn't have a picture of a contract, but I don't think he says those words and puts himself out there with 99% certainty unless there is something in writing. Even the athletic department seems to be too leaky at this point for it not to be a done deal. I think the rumor mill in A2 is in full effect because slowly more and more people who need to prepare for next week are being fed details - Hackett doesn't allow this to happen unless it's a done deal already.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 4 days ago [Title] C'mon grow up and get some [Body]

Output: C'mon grow up and get some perspective, or get sober. Whichever helps more. HS football players sign with teams to get an education and play football at a high level. There are a lot of schools in this country which can give you an education on par with the University of Michigan, and I'm sure plenty of those have football programs that don't regress in developing their players. We are a shit-show right now whether you like it or not. Would you take a job with a company that was falling apart at the seams just because you have a sentimental attachement to it? Kids have to what is best for them. I hope we pull out of this someday soon but the recent history of this storied football program doesn't instill a lot of confidence or hope.


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 5 days ago [Title] So when people you don't know [Body]

Output: So when people you don't know continuously call your ugly-ass mom ugly you have no desire to rise to her defense? It's called civic pride. The fact that you call it a pretty crappy city means you probably grew up in Livonia or Farmington Hills and spent almost no appreciable time in Detroit. And having a measure of civic pride doesn't mean that you fail to recognize the many, many shortcomings that exist in the city. Thin skinned enough for you?


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 4 days ago [Title] The last six years might have [Body]

Output: The last six years might have done their best to slowly beat the youthful exuberance I once had for Michigan Football out of me. But today thanks to you CSree I am pushing all in. Beat State.


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Against my better judgment [Body]

Output: Against my better judgment and good reason, I am upvoting this thread. Bravo CSree, bravo.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I don't know how to embed but [Body]

Output: I don't know how to embed but here is his youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLl_ggzEHZg


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I don't see where he even [Body]

Output: I don't see where he even hinted at cutting a kid's scholarship. But maybe prepare (through recruiting) so that he never has to see the field again until the last snap of the last game of his senior year?


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 6 days ago [Title] The second option would be to [Body]

Output: The second option would be to sear, then rest for 10 minutes to allow heat to dissipate, then place on indirect heat until reaching desired temp, then rest again.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 6 days ago [Title] The rationale for searing [Body]

Output: The rationale for searing right before the meat has hit ideal internal temp is that a good sear happens at 500+ degrees. Which means there is a lot of intense heat raising the interal temperature very quickly but not evenly. If I start my steak at 500 and move to 300 there is going to be more risidual heat on the outer portion of the steak but that heat won't necessarily have moved inside. So you won't get even distribution and if you aren't very careful the outer half of your steak will be well done while the interior is medium rare. If you do the sear at the end of the cook you can pull the meat off the heat which allows you to halt (well at least slow down relatively quickly) the cooking process.


Input: [Date] 1 year 7 weeks ago [Title] I don't think most people [Body]

Output: I don't think most people here are going to begrudge anyone for getting theirs. It's just that in no other sport does a head coach make approximately 30X as much as the most highly compensated player (legitimately compensated). So the head shaking doesn't have as much to do with him making that much but rather making that much in a system where those in charge claim the players are more then adequately "paid" for their 60 hour work week then turn around and dump wheel barrels full of cash in front of AD's, Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Recruiters, Trainers, you get the point right? It's not like the conferences are getting the shaft on TV revenue either, they own the damn networks. So this is just another example of how flush with cash athletic departments are and how they have to find excuses to piss away the revenue while they cry about amateurism and how fearful they are that they will corrupt the innocent kids.


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Title] But why would you think he [Body]

Output: But why would you think he would have a substance abuse problem because he tested positive for pot? I don't smoke the stuff and comments like this make me shake my head. This is 2014 right? If he got caught drinking a beer you wouldn't automatically worry that he was an alcoholic would you?


Input: [Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Title] Because I'm sure everything [Body]

Output: Because I'm sure everything you did when you were 20 years old was grounded in logic and reason. . .


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Title] Opening day 97 we sat in the [Body]

Output: Opening day 97 we sat in the center field bleachers. Grffey flipped us off everytime he took the field, hit a bomb right at us in the middle innings and continued to talk mad shit the rest of the game.


Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Title] Bizarre sounds about right to [Body]

Output: Bizarre sounds about right to me. I don't get it at all, you hear nothing out of the kid but his parents seem to be plastering their differences all over the recruiting sites. It's to the point where I'd rather he go to state if that's what he really wants then have his parents force him to choose Michigan.


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] I'm with you 100% on this one [Body]

Output: I'm with you 100% on this one but I'm afraid we are in the minority. I've always argued these same points to people who think a playoff is necessary for college football. The last two teams out are always going to have a beef, look at the NCAA bball tourney. And if we aren't going to have super-conferences, byes, and home field advantage is it really that good of a system for determining a champion? College football is great because of the rivalries and Michigan wouldn't have any sort of postseason history if it weren't for the contrived bowl system - there are too many teams for rivalries to develop organically in a playoff system.


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Title] Shane was warming up after [Body]

Output: Shane was warming up after the fumble by Gardner was upheld. I re watched this the other day and it seemed like Gardner was O.K. Because he had his headset on.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] The fans here are becoming [Body]

Output: The fans here are becoming accustomed to winning. They are more tolerant because they don't see a threat either, and with good reason. The little brother meme died on its own last Saturday. Mike Harts reality and this current one aren't the same unfortunately.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] And just like a high school [Body]

Output: And just like a high school sometimes the readers of this blog feel they are untitled to voice their opinions as loudly as they can with no repercussions. There really is this belief that an open forum provides some free speech right, no matter how harmful that speech might be to the overall product. I think this blog would be better served sometimes with just a comment section after the front page content instead of a dedicated forum which grants every dickhead with an opinion a platform to rabble rabble rabble.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] Niles was trying to move to [Body]

Output: Niles was trying to move to the Wolverine so if they could get both Benton Harbor and Niles to make the move than that'd be ideal for both school.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I'm a 90's kid but MASH is [Body]

Output: I'm a 90's kid but MASH is still by far my favorite TV Show when I was growing up. Another great one was the West Wing.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Those were shows I watch when [Body]

Output: Those were shows I watch when I was a little older but still a "kid"


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 3 hours ago [Title] This is a great movie, while [Body]

Output: This is a great movie, while the actual physical abuse is not good the tough love and tough teaching pushed the drummer to be exceptional and that is only way truly great talents can be made. Being coddled will do no one good.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 4 hours ago [Title] It's so sad when players like [Body]

Output: It's so sad when players like Simon are "mad" because a coach made him work hard at practice or called him a "pussy". Football is a mans sport and if hard work and a coach yelling at you is too much than that is pathetic and you don't deserve to play the game. Grow up and be a damn man. People in our country are truly becoming soft skinned and weaker as the years go by. What's this guy going to do when a boss yells at him for messing something up in the "real" world? Cry and put on a 6 hours bitchfit on Twitter? If I was an employer and heard of this so called man attacking his coach like he has I would never hire him. If you have a problem you sit down face to face with that person and work it out, you don't act like a child and cry to the public on Twitter. Football is not a game for the weak minded people and Simon has proven to be one of those people.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] The only dog I've had was a [Body]

Output: The only dog I've had was a Golden Retriever that we had gotten when I was a 2 year old. That dog was the most energetic and loving dog and took care of me as a kid whenever I was sick or hurt she was right by my side. As a little kid that dog wore me out faster than I could her. In my opinion if you have a kid, even if you don't, a GR is a great dog to have. My beautiful dog lived to be 16 years old and the bond me and her built was so strong I don't think I had ever cried as much when we had to put her down.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I understand people aren't a [Body]

Output: I understand people aren't a big fan of all the bowl games but two things. 1. You don't have to watch all 42 games so why complain about it?? And 2. Football at the college level is fun to watch for many people so the more game the better. I for one, which is just my opinion, would much rather watch two 6-6 teams face off in a bowl game where many kids are playing the last game they will ever play than watching NFL games. Not to mention there are rarely games on Sunday anyways so you won't miss out on any NFL games and still be able to watch most of the college bowl games.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Did this man just grow a pair [Body]

Output: Did this man just grow a pair and call out the SEC????? Good for Delany.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Yea I've been wondering the [Body]

Output: Yea I've been wondering the same. I thought I saw end of April but that doesn't seem likely now since no one is talking about a commitment coming from his soon. Does anyone know when the late signing period is? Has that already happened?


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Avalanche the last one? [Body]

Output: Avalanche the last one?


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I hope people realize that [Body]

Output: I hope people realize that coaches and AD's have a say in any team worn apparel that the companies make for them. It's not like Nike has 100% rights to make whatever the hell they want to. Dantonio and/or the AD gave approval to this design. Same goes for Michigan and Adidas.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Title] For all the Bulls fans on [Body]

Output: For all the Bulls fans on here, 1. Do you think Thibs either leaves or gets let go and if so 2. Who do you want them/who do you think they will get to replace him? Sadly I think this'll be the last year he's in Chicago. It seems like him and the FO butt heads too much. What's all of your opinions?

Output: Yes because that is a precursor to being a man. Way to make yourself even more of an ass.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Thats why I said "I believe." [Body]

Output: Thats why I said "I believe." I wasn't sure what kind of engine it was. All I remember was it was fast as hell and could beat everyone in a race easily. But its cool being an ass. Which I'm guessing once you see this you'll just say "Oh, I was just being sarcastic."


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 2 days ago [Title] 2007 Silver Honda Accord 4 [Body]

Output: 2007 Silver Honda Accord 4 door. I believe it had a V8 engine as well. Thing was quick as hell.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Yea, for a so called [Body]

Output: Yea, for a so called professional writer, making a joke about a 16/17 year old high schooler is extremely unprofessional.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Yes, about 90% of all [Body]

Output: Yes, about 90% of all "customer service" reps at a huge company are idiots. I'm sorry if anyone is in this line of work but hopefully you are part of that 10% because I'd be willing to be of that 90% the collective IQ is like 20.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 2 days ago [Title] She's just showing off the [Body]

Output: She's just showing off the same attitude and mindset that ESPN has. "I'm too big and too good and you can't touch me." Well she learned and ESPN needs to learn that isn't the case.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 3 days ago [Title] The first one as in Pahntom [Body]

Output: The first one as in Pahntom Menace or the actual first movie? The PH is absolutely awful so that's not a good one to base whether you like Star Wars or not. But it's very easy to see why people might not be into the series. It's not a movie for everyone that's for sure.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 4 days ago [Title] There case was a very unique [Body]

Output: There case was a very unique one though. Both had played only 1 year of football I believe. Still I understand what you were going for, but not similar to many of the guys we have been bringing in as preferred walk-ons


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Title] So what's everyone's take on [Body]

Output: So what's everyone's take on this upcoming Avengers movie? I seriously cannot wait for it. The movie is gonna be awesome based off the couple trailers I have seen. Also if you haven't watched the new Terminator trailer that just got released DO NOT WATCH IT. It'll give off a huge part of the movie and for me made it a lot less likely for me to watch the movie in theaters. Just don't watch it if you don't want the movie semi ruined.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I thought the series really [Body]

Output: I thought the series really took off with 5. I think 5 saved the franchise.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Also the Nolan Batman Trilogy [Body]

Output: Also the Nolan Batman Trilogy is probably up there as well. I mean The Dark Knight has to be one of if not the greatest comic book movie ever made.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Title] 1. Marvel 2. Fast and Furious [Body]

Output: 1. Marvel 2. Fast and Furious 5-7 3. Star Wars


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I was never a comic book [Body]

Output: I was never a comic book reader so I didn't have any prior knowledge with all of the Marvel movies but for me, they are easily in my top 2 with probably Fast and Furious from the 5th movie on. (Haven't seen number 7 yet sadly).


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Sue the city too for letting [Body]

Output: Sue the city too for letting that guy into their city limits. Hell why stop there, why not sue the entire state for allowing him to live in the state.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Yea I don't think our legal [Body]

Output: Yea I don't think our legal system is built so people can get rich quick off companies by suing them. It's to get justice and that is exactly what he got when the got was sentenced. Now if he sued the guy that shot him and is responsible for his injuries then fine, that's what the legal system is about. But to sue 5 companies just because the guy drank there is truly a get rich quick. Suing the guy that shot you should be more than enough to get your medical bills and other expenses due to the shooting covered.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Title] What do you expect? It's [Body]

Output: What do you expect? It's MLive and media in general want to make everything bigger than it really is it trying and make even more stories out of everything. Sadly the media all over the place has sold out and become nearly impossible to take serious or not question.

Output: And I too get that same response sometimes. But the best is the old people out here. Every time I respond to a go blue from an 80 year they go crazy and start singing the fight song. I take it to another level and sing that shit as loud as I can which makes them in turn sing louder. The best part is everyone in the public place looks at us like we are crazy but never say shit because how can you trash talk to an 80 year old lol

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Yes, about 90% of all "customer service" reps at a huge company are idiots. I'm sorry if anyone is in this line of work but hopefully you are part of that 10% because I'd be willing to be of that 90% the collective IQ is like 20. [Title]

Output: Yes, about 90% of all

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 3 days ago [Body] The first one as in Pahntom Menace or the actual first movie? The PH is absolutely awful so that's not a good one to base whether you like Star Wars or not. But it's very easy to see why people might not be into the series. It's not a movie for everyone that's for sure. [Title]

Output: The first one as in Pahntom


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 4 days ago [Body] There case was a very unique one though. Both had played only 1 year of football I believe. Still I understand what you were going for, but not similar to many of the guys we have been bringing in as preferred walk-ons [Title]

Output: There case was a very unique


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Body] So what's everyone's take on this upcoming Avengers movie? I seriously cannot wait for it. The movie is gonna be awesome based off the couple trailers I have seen. Also if you haven't watched the new Terminator trailer that just got released DO NOT WATCH IT. It'll give off a huge part of the movie and for me made it a lot less likely for me to watch the movie in theaters. Just don't watch it if you don't want the movie semi ruined. [Title]

Output: So what's everyone's take on


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I thought the series really took off with 5. I think 5 saved the franchise. [Title]

Output: 1. Marvel 2. Fast and Furious


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I was never a comic book reader so I didn't have any prior knowledge with all of the Marvel movies but for me, they are easily in my top 2 with probably Fast and Furious from the 5th movie on. (Haven't seen number 7 yet sadly). [Title]

Output: I was never a comic book

Output: Sue the city too for letting


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Yea I don't think our legal system is built so people can get rich quick off companies by suing them. It's to get justice and that is exactly what he got when the got was sentenced. Now if he sued the guy that shot him and is responsible for his injuries then fine, that's what the legal system is about. But to sue 5 companies just because the guy drank there is truly a get rich quick. Suing the guy that shot you should be more than enough to get your medical bills and other expenses due to the shooting covered. [Title]

Output: Yea I don't think our legal


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Body] What do you expect? It's MLive and media in general want to make everything bigger than it really is it trying and make even more stories out of everything.

Input: [Date] 5 years 9 weeks ago [Title] detnews comments [Body]

Output: Because I am stupid, I read the comments under the Detroit News article just now, and the unwillingness of people to read and understand the specifics of this very frustrating. Most people read the article, cry something like "cheaters never prosper" and then say the coach should be fired and the university burned to the ground. I know, I know, it's my own stupid fault for reading the comments, but yeah. Thanks Brian for posting non-reactionary, informative articles, that reference, you know, facts.


Input: [Date] 5 years 10 weeks ago [Title] strategy is behind [Body]

Output: Interesting point Brian brought up at the end - that I think is essentially correct - about strategy being behind statistics. I think this is very true, and I always hated when Lloyd punted from the opponent's 38. This is a great column because it shows how far behind that thinking is. Despite RR's first few years being....less than stellar....I am encouraged at his risk taking usually and I think he will be much more willing to not punt on the opponent's side of the field. Couple of things about that though that I think go a long way in explaining the behavior - not excusing of course, but expaining- first, old habits die hard, and back when Lloyd started with Bo, 4th and 7 was a lot different then it is now. (Actually, I would love to see this chart from a prime Bo year, like 1972 or something, and see what the decision chart looked like then. I bet back then anything over 4th and 5 anywhere had really low returns. Then we could see what years current coaches are trapped in!) Anyway, when Carr had Henne and Braylon that 4th and 4 short pass was a very effective play, back in the day it was much less reliable. One of my principal complaints with Carr was that even though we obviously used Braylon to great effect, we could have used him even more on those stupid 4th and 3's at the Notre Dame 39 instead of punting. In fact, given Carr's willingness to use short passing much more than Bo I'm surprised he didn't go for that more often. In that way I totally agree with the column that the decion making is way behind what offenses can actually do now. But I think what explains that in part is what one might call a strategic decision verus what you might call a tactical one - Carr in general wanted to play a low-variance game. He wanted a game with no surprises more than he wanted to maximize one possession. This was usually a good thing for Michigan - against Indiana there was NEVER a reason to take chances no matter what. There was no reason to maximize one possession because, all things being equal, it was only a matter of time. And it's important to keep in mind that Carr was good at that part. What I think a lot of us would liked to have seen is more risk taking (and not even that big of a risk...) in close games where one possession had much more importance. This is kind of a related question, but due to all the data you had I wondered if you thought it suggested anything along these lines - is there any percentage at all in keeping the game within a score? Let's say we are down 10-0. Does that make a field goal make more sense statistically than if we are down 14-0? I know that kinda falls under game specifics, but I only wonder because I think a lot of coaches make decisions to keep the game within a score, and I was wondering whether there was anything to that or just a preference not to take chances?


Input: [Date] 5 years 11 weeks ago [Title] run the damn ball [Body]

Output: I do understand that the offense is quite a bit different these days but it is hilarious that the ABC commentators said "Michigan doesn't just run anymore, they pass sometimes" because we were passing so much more than before. That was 1986, and people are still saying it today. Also, how about Brent's hat?


Input: [Date] 5 years 16 weeks ago [Title] that's me! [Body]

Output: I am the kid in the blue jacket in the Mike Legg video.


Input: [Date] 5 years 22 weeks ago [Title] I like this post, because it [Body]

Output: I like this post, because it gives you a feel for the allegations. Sadly, there is actually some lapse in all of this on UM's part, and it's a shame, no matter how small the lapses may be. I also like the reasoned approach and can now feel more comfortable than ever in my previously held opinion that the Free Press is a bunch of slobs, and malicious slobs at that. To me, a huge mischaracetization is a huge lie, and I blame a lot of the outcry from the rest of the country on the Free Press. A lot of what this shows, actually, is how useless the NCAA can be. Lots of rules that don't make things any better.


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Title] yeah [Body]

Output: i have to say, this is about the greatest thing i have ever seen. of course that could be friday morning at work but whatever.


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Title] kinda disagree [Body]

Output: We did have them on the ropes in the first half, but we didn't take advantage. To me, scoring only 13 after all the opportunities we had wasn't good either. I was extremely concerned after the first half.


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Title] on target [Body]

Output: I absolutely agree with your 6-6 or 7-5 before the season started, and that people are being too emotional now, because we have a fair shot to end up where we were going to end up generally. However, there is one thing that I find a little dissapointing, though, and of course this will depend on the Purdue game as much as Illinois- if we had beaten Illinois and Purdue, then we could say we took a huge step forward and beaten all the teams we should have beaten, plus maybe one extra, and lost to all the teams better than us, and I would have felt pretty ok about things. It would have been really nice to be absolutely comfortable that we had progressed from last year's disaster to being a real team again. An average or below average big ten team, granted, but a real big ten team. I think part of the reason people are so worked up is that after Illinois they are afraid that no such progress is being made. Illinois is really bad, and has been pounded by pretty much everyone- so I think the fear is that we just aren't getting any better. Is it too early to tell? Of course. Is it just one game? Of course. But, man, it was a stinker. So, I'm not saying that's right necessarily, or that the freak out crowd is right, but at this point it's more than simply whether we hit the 6-6 target or go -1 and go 5-7 or whatever. If we lose to Purdue, and go 5-7, then depending on manner of said loss, I think you could argue- with some fairness- that we really haven't made much progress this year. Maybe 5-7 would be more preogress than it seems, because we didn't lose to a MAC team, but only 1 big ten win would kinda suck. Now, I'm not ready to fire up the torches or anything extreme like that, but like Brian said yesterday, there is really legitimate concern at this point. It feels like every game this year is the most important, but once again Purdue will tell us a lot. If we can beat Purdue, then maybe we did just suck against Illinois and oh, well, shake it off and whatever. But if we lose to Purdue then I think there's a real possibility that something larger is wrong with the team that goes beyond youth or game mistakes. There is a real difference between reactionary whackos and a legitimate cause for concern, and right now I think there is legitimate cause for concern.


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Title] nickelback [Body]

Output: Yes, making fun of Nickelback is lots of fun. Surely James Buchanan has to be in consideration here. His primary contribution to the presidency was to not intervene when the Southern states started seceding and grabbing control of federal arsenals. All poor WHH did was get pneumonia.


Input: [Date] 6 years 26 weeks ago [Title] right [Body]

Output: i think this current uproar was more about the two players and the response of the school to this specific incident than state over time. i think really the proof of that is that over time state wins. you can't appeal to the lowest common denominator all the time and have a long history of winning. so no, i don't think anyone can reasonably say that state has a long standing committment to hooliganism. more proof: ferris state, which quite obviously does. rough teams that aren't any good.


Input: [Date] 6 years 26 weeks ago [Title] not sure [Body]

Output: that "forcier exp threet" explains as much as you think it does...especially purdue, where we scored 40+ and lost. surely that one was on the defense, and it was the defense that lost with time running out...


Input: [Date] 6 years 28 weeks ago [Title] im almost 30 [Body]

Output: and i must be getting crotchety too because i kinda agree. at least back then it was just a few good games (for the sake of the game) and we really didn't know who was champion. but since we still don't im pretty unsympathetic to the bcs. for nostalgia's sake i watched the 1986 fiesta bowl (jaime morris!) over the holidays and enjoyed it more than any game i watched this year. one caveat: 1997 was kinda annoying. but since the bcs hasn't really helped at all going back to old system doesn't seem so bad.


Input: [Date] 6 years 32 weeks ago [Title] theory of idiocy [Body]

Output: actually i have a theory about that...i think wherever you are the percentage of stupid people is always the same. i did not run into more (or less) idiots at michigan than i have anywhere else.


Input: [Date] 6 years 32 weeks ago [Title] disagree [Body]

Output: RR has proven his ability to use different QBs - although Shaun King at Tulane did get very good rushing yards, he was primarily a passer. Mallet was a good athlete and would have been fine in this offense just like King. I think people over-rely on the "he wasn't right for this offense" memo. He wanted out almost from day one- Carr had to convince him not to tansfer before the season even started. Mallett may have had the PERCEPTION that he wouldn't fit in this O, but that is a misnomer. I would not clalk up any poor outings Threet did have primarily to poor running. That was not among his most glaring defects, actually. If he would have thrown the ball well he'd have been fine. This is not to say RR wouldn't prefer to run- almost any coach would prefer to run. But don't be blinded by Pat White/Steve Slaton. They ran almost always because they had an awesome running game AND were also did not have a super great downfield passing game. If Threet could throw more consistently, he could well be successful in the spread.


Input: [Date] 6 years 34 weeks ago [Title] kinda agree [Body]

Output: with divisions, you have the silly result as this year, but without divisions, you have the possibility of rematches. i know this is a possibility with divisions too, but doesn't no divisions increase the posibility of silly rematches? look at this year- if you took #1 and #2, which have played already, it's possible that the other team wins, the teams are 1-1 against each other, and the only deciding factor is who won last. that doesn't seem quite right. think if the big 10 had a conference championship but no divisions, and the game was simply #1 vs. #2. think about the number of years where this would still have been michigan/ohio state even after the michigan/ohio state game- all those years that m/osu finished #1/#2 in the big ten they just would have had to turn around and play each other again in the conference championship....


Input: [Date] 6 years 34 weeks ago [Title] i guess we don't need [Body]

Output: another person saying sharp is dumb, but man, he just is, so i can't help it. the thing about it is sharp just fixates on the most banal things he can possibly find (as pointed out above) and fixates on it forever. i really don't get it. also, he likes to act like everything occurs to him first, which is only true when he's saying something so asinine it wouldn't have occured to anyone else at all.


Input: [Date] 6 years 34 weeks ago [Title] actually [Body]

Output: just some background on our "dinky tv's" -as far as michigan goes, those boards are pretty new- you obviously didn't attend any games before 1998 (i think it was 98). anybody remember the awesome black rectangular boxes? they didn't take those out that long ago, and i was shocked they did. i'm still thrilled with what we have to be honest...see this 98 michigan daily article http://www.pub.umich.edu/daily/nse98/news/news2.html i get your point about the tech, but i also understand people's fear about the game becoming an "experience" rather than a game. i am kind of in agreement with them that if we make stupid gitchy crap possible then stupid gitchy crap will happen. if they started to make wolverine sounds when we make a first down like the crap they do at northwestern and penn state i will tear my diploma into little pieces and mail it back to the universtity (dagnabbit). some old photos: http://www.umich.edu/stadium/history/


Input: [Date] 6 years 34 weeks ago [Title] liked [Body]

Output: the post. yay Catholics.


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Title] i did read it [Body]

Output: I did read the article in full, but with respect, I still disagree. While I agree that Central and Michigan are different, i think this argument might be a little too nuanced- the only evidence we have of his coaching was a disaster. Accepting your argument for a moment, however, consider that Central was a pretty successful program when DeBord took over, and he immediately drove it into the ground. CMU has been good before and since. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Michigan_Chippewas_football So, actually, DeBord did take the reigns of an already successful program, and didn't do very well.


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Title] we dont throw downfield [Body]

Output: The passing metric is a little misleading since we throw a large number of 2 yard passes.


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Title] um, yes? [Body]

Output: Well, actually yes, considering we lost to Toledo this year- so, yes, I would consider beating both Eastern and Western (who beat Illinois and is much better than Toledo) quite an improvement.


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Title] ok, but [Body]

Output: not all ctiticism is pure negativity. for example, two types of criticism: 1. RR is a shit 2. i might have chosen to run a different play on 3rd and 8. the first is overtly negative, and patently non-constructive. the second simply denotes a difference of opinion. part of the fun of football is arguing about what a coach should have done in a certain situation, what personnel should play, etc. i can get on board with quelling the unconstructive rants about how RR should be tarred, feathered, etc. those are silly. but to say a coach should never be criticized can't be quite right either. i think you're railing against what you see as unfair criticism to a team you love, so fine, but not everyone who has ever offered criticism is simply being a dickhead.


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Title] good [Body]

Output: as usual. thanks. always enjoy reading these.


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Title] yay! [Body]

Output: not sure what you mean? we were in peace corps...


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Title] so, i just realized [Body]

Output: that Brian just posted something fairly similar- my only defense is that i wrote this mostly yesterday, at work, if that surprises anyone, before i saw his posting today.


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Title] is..... [Body]

Output: ...that good or bad?


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

Output: How is Rhett Bomar of OU not in the QB slot?? That's stupid that a kid that never played a down of college ball is on this list


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Title] You know, analysts have a lot [Body]

Output: You know, analysts have a lot to knock on his game despite his #1 ranking. They knock on his inconsistent and lack of confidence in his coverage skills and his utter lack of aggression for contact and poor tackling skills. Maybe it's because he's been looked at so extensively but I've never seen a top ten recruit with so much knocking on him.


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Playin Hard [Body]

Output: So far the American Samoa team has been playing very hard and fast and has kept it as competitive as possible. 20-6 at the half. They're fearless against the US. It's moreso technique where they're getting beat. They are smaller and are less athletically inclined but they're truly not playing like it. The U.S. took the first kick back for a TD, and it wasn't because they were outdone. It was blown assignments and a gaping hole in the middle. Penalties is another reason why theyre behind. Otherwise they've been playing just as hard and they pursue on defense. Their RB is a tough north-south runner thats putting the US defense on their butts every now and again. Having said that. LTT is playing very, very well. He's already had a few pancakes and is doing phenomenal on pass pro. I'd say he's been doing better than Pocic and Biven. He's consistently sealing off and the RB has got major yards behind him. I can see why he struggled in camp, he's purely a pads player. He doesn't use his hands as much as he uses his athleticism to get in to place and then just lays his entire frame on you until you cant move around him. He'll have to use his hands more on the next level, but he'll be ok with that. His potential is on full display here.


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Before you pass judgement [Body]

Output: Before you pass judgement look up his film. This kid is a rare talent and is physically ready. Only way to go is up for this kid. I for one am glad we got on him early. He's a lifelong Michigan fan who idolizes Mike hart. No reason to not try and land a probable future 5 star early on.


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Title] I havent seen him play, but I [Body]

Output: I havent seen him play, but I can't imagine him being "not very good". The kid won state as a freshman, and everything I read made it seem as if the offense rested on his shoulders. RJS never seemed to put up big numbers on the ground so I can see the truth in that. If he can champion a state title team as a frosh then he's good enoug for me ( like that matters ). I'm just sayin, what a foundation to build upon with 3 more seasons to build upon. I hope will her keeps grooming this kid because he could be an top tier 5 star recruit by his sr year. An Alabama offer already? Home should offer just based on principle. Cass should get the title again easily. The team is more diverse talent/position wise this year. How crazy would it be if LTT had been able to transfer.


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Ouch [Body]

Output: Ouch. The harsh truth.


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Good guess [Body]

Output: This is a good guess. I didn't even think of him. He did say he couldn't commit until hes a junior. Technically, schools over for the year and he completed the year so now he's considered a junior as far as the public school system is concerned.


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Are you kidding [Body]

Output: Why do people think he's just kidding whenever he says this? It's stupid. The last two times he said this people said the same thing and BOOM there were actual commits. He nor none of the other recruits have ever joked about there being a impending commitment. That's not even a funny joke, wheres the humor in that? Who's the joke upon? Recruits have been wrong but at least we've always known that they were based in reality. Of a commit has ever joked about this please prove me wrong.


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Unlikely [Body]

Output: That seems a little unlikely. We haven't had many recruits just mess with the fan base, if at all. We've only see them think they have a commit and the pull a Garnett


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Title] It only makes sense that [Body]

Output: It only makes sense that itd be Treadwell or Poggi. Anyone else would be kind of out of nowhere


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Title] They should [Body]

Output: It should be about the local jurisdiction and what the punishment is their. Pot is noo big deal. I'd rather have my players in their dorms smoking J's and eating brownies while playing madden and ordering pizza on a saturday night than out binge drinking. As we've seen (with Big Will etc.) alcohol and minors lead to bad things. I'm especially a personal advocate of mixing the two. It seems to keep one from going overboard on the drunkeness and keeps you from raging and getting in to trouble.


Input: [Date] 3 years 9 weeks ago [Title] Let's not get too cocky yet [Body]

Output: Lets not get too cocky. It's a long way till signing day. He could easily get a case of the "too far from homes" before putting pen to paper and end up at OSU or Illinois. Hell, maybe if we miss out on some "best availables we might end up flipping him with a last second effort. Who knows?


Input: [Date] 3 years 9 weeks ago [Title] Truly Despicable [Body]

Output: This is absolutely horrid. Woman like this are the reason that sex crimes are so difficult to deal with. What type of person puts a man through 6 years of prison and ruins his life just to avoid dealing with a bad sexual experience.


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Very True [Body]

Output: Very true. I enjoyed the light-hearted yet spirited debate Magnus. Ur a classy guy. Some others on here should adopt your approach to disagreeing.


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I can't speak to.... [Body]

Output: I can't speak to why his coach used him in a 4-3 vs a 3-4. I'll concede to you that it's puzzling and most coaches put their best 3 or 4 on the line at that level. If you look at his highlights I just don't see any glaring weaknesses, no more than any other WDE recruit. Basically from his film I can't see any reason they'd bench him. He looks good vs the run, and the pass of course. I guess that's for the coaches to know and us to find out.


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I understand that [Body]

Output: I understand that point, however, the evidence points to him telling the truth of the matter. As I stated above, situational players/bench players don't amass 7 minutes of quality highlights in one season. If you can show me any other player who came off the bench and achieved that fete then I'll believe the rumors.


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Additionally [Body]

Output: I know if I were a recruit, I'd be pissed if people (including my own fanbase) kept perpetuating misinformation about me and my abilities to see the field in High School.


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Good point but.... [Body]

Output: Good point Mr. Magnus. However, it seems like you missed where i said that Taco himself and several other sources refute this point of him not being a "starter"


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Tired of the non-starter talk [Body]

Output: I hate that people are still calling Taco "not a starter" last year. Its much more complicated than that to be honest. He himself on his own twitter refuted that claim a while ago. The whole Non-Starter thing is Ohio State BS that needs to stop over here. He complained about people saying that about him. Think about it. The kid is damn good. There's 4 guys on the D-Line. Pickerington is not exactly a powerhouse in Ohio and you really think there were 4 guys better than him? Hell no. If you don't believe me, go to the Ohio Recruiting site and check out his film. Its almost 7 mins long where he's defending against the run AND the pass. Do you really think a true non-starter could amass 7 minutes of highlights in one season of football?? He makes A LOT of plays throughout the film and isn't overly lacking in any part of his game, at least no more than any other recruit. The whole "non-starting" thing is a rumor gone amok, being perpetuated by Ohio. Pass it on


Input: [Date] 3 years 13 weeks ago [Title] The Diggs Collision [Body]

Output: Ever since the Army AA game I've been trying off and on to find some highlight tapes that show the Pipkins pursuit and immediate wreckage of Diggs. This article is the first I've seen photos of it, but I want video. Pipkins has like 0 film anywhere to be seen! How am I going to wait all the way till august to see him with my own eyes? If you know where I can see some AA highlights of him, especially "The Diggs Collision", itd be greatly appreciated

Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Perspective [Body]

Output: Based on Aquamans comment, I think I'd rather have Ty wait it out. If he commits now, I could totally see him re-opening his recruiting down the line. Not because i think anything negative of him, but I just know that if he commits the other programs will probably come at him even harder knowing he was just caught up in the rapture of commitapalooza. This is one guy that I'd rather have take his time and truly feel good that Michigan is for him

Output: Can anyone simplify the twitter back-and-forth for me. I'm looking at this jumble of sh*t people call twitter and I cant understand how Farrell was put in his place and by whom. (I am 23 btw, is that sad?)


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Title] David Brandon [Body]

Output: I think the majority of the credit should go to David Brandon. Hoke has always been Brady Hoke, that's what we love about him now. He came in just being himself. Brandon is the one who had the vision of what we could and should be, and he hired the people and put the pieces in place that have led to this resurgance. Don't get me wrong, Hoke is the man. He deserves all the credit he deserves. You just have to remember that without David Brandon, there is no Brady Hoke. Brandon knew that Hoke was "the one" when the general opinion was that he would be a downgrade.


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Title] I'd Guess [Body]

Output: I'd Guess Either Isaac or Levenberry. Probably Isaac. From the tweet it seems like it's someone they're surprised is dropping right now. Gedeon and/or McCray were both to be expected.


Input: [Date] 4 days 17 hours ago [Title] I'm not a fan of retiring any [Body]

Output: I'm not a fan of retiring any numbers. I think the players that wore the uniform and were great should be honored in some way, but not retiring numbers. Put them in the University Hall of Fame, build a statue somewhere on the grounds, etc...


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] They're talking about a time when you won't own [Body]

Output: They're talking about a time when you won't own cars. Instead, you'll "rent" them. You'll schedule a pickup and the car will show up. When you get to your destination, the car goes to a "station" awaiting another user.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I learned on a '98 Trans Am. [Body]

Output: I learned on a '98 Trans Am. Super easy to learn with a car that has a decent amount of torque. No need to rev the engine up. Loved that car. Would get 24 mpg all day long. 29 mpg on the highway.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Do you know what it says [Body]

Output: Do you know what it says underneath the Nike logo on the maize? I'm reacreating this in Illustrator and will be glad to share it.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] You're also comparing [Body]

Output: You're also comparing technology from 20? years ago to what is available now. Not just computing power, but software like Illustrator and Photoshop that have really revolutionized the digital printing industry. You also have way more apparel printing options that take advantage of the new technology.

Output: "Look good, feel good, play good."


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] His form isn't great. He [Body]

Output: His form isn't great. He doesn't follow through very well, so he ends up putting more stress on his arm than he should. He has no out pitch now that he doesn't throw mid to upper 90s. His curveball is very inconsistent. You need good command if you can't throw it by everyone.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I can see how she hesitated. [Body]

Output: I can see how she hesitated. You don't go at the crack of the bat there. You don't make the first out at third/home. However, once she saw the ball pass the pitcher and the SS trying to roll two, you gotta go. All that said, you've got 1st and 3rd and you can't get a flyball to the outfield in two tries, well, you don't deserve the shot to win the game.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I can't figure out which set [Body]

Output: I can't figure out which set of jerseys I like least.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Title] The video didn't say anything [Body]

Output: The video didn't say anything about who approached who. For all we know, Army went to Nike with the idea.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Looks like he has nice hands, [Body]

Output: Looks like he has nice hands, should be good for pick and roll situations when the entry pass can be tough to handle sometimes. Really nice footwork and use of his body. He's going to be a solid player in a couple years. Great pick up for UM.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] Our teams growing up we always hit first. Our [Body]

Output: Our teams growing up we always hit first. Our coaches would walk up to the coin flip and say, "you want home?". No coin needed. It was great when we put up 5 in the first. Sets the time for the game.

Input: [Date] 21 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I was raised a Hoosier. I had Damon Bailey and [Body]

Output: I was raised a Hoosier. I had Damon Bailey and Calbert Cheaney posters in my room growing up. I stopped rooting for them when they fired Knight and hired that crooked ass coach from Oklahoma. They should have hired Alford when he was available.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Pretty nice highlight tape. I like the fact that [Body]

Output: Pretty nice highlight tape. I like the fact that he doesn't go down very easily, he fights for every yard. I'd be happy if he ended up in this class.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] I know that. I was wondering if anyone knew the [Body]

Output: I know that. I was wondering if anyone knew the actual dollar amount. When I was playing, I had teammates that were receiving $1200 checks every month. This was about 10 years ago.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 19 hours ago [Title] Does anyone know what they are already receiving [Body]

Output: Does anyone know what they are already receiving if they are full scholarship and not living in university provided housing?


Input: [Date] 2 years 51 weeks ago [Body] How is Rhett Bomar of OU not in the QB slot?? That's stupid that a kid that never played a down of college ball is on this list [Title]

Output: Bomar


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] You know, analysts have a lot to knock on his game despite his #1 ranking. They knock on his inconsistent and lack of confidence in his coverage skills and his utter lack of aggression for contact and poor tackling skills. Maybe it's because he's been looked at so extensively but I've never seen a top ten recruit with so much knocking on him. [Title]

Output: You know, analysts have a lot


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Body] So far the American Samoa team has been playing very hard and fast and has kept it as competitive as possible. 20-6 at the half. They're fearless against the US. It's moreso technique where they're getting beat. They are smaller and are less athletically inclined but they're truly not playing like it. The U.S. took the first kick back for a TD, and it wasn't because they were outdone. It was blown assignments and a gaping hole in the middle. Penalties is another reason why theyre behind. Otherwise they've been playing just as hard and they pursue on defense. Their RB is a tough north-south runner thats putting the US defense on their butts every now and again. Having said that. LTT is playing very, very well. He's already had a few pancakes and is doing phenomenal on pass pro. I'd say he's been doing better than Pocic and Biven. He's consistently sealing off and the RB has got major yards behind him. I can see why he struggled in camp, he's purely a pads player. He doesn't use his hands as much as he uses his athleticism to get in to place and then just lays his entire frame on you until you cant move around him. He'll have to use his hands more on the next level, but he'll be ok with that. His potential is on full display here. [Title]

Output: Playin Hard


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Body] Before you pass judgement look up his film. This kid is a rare talent and is physically ready. Only way to go is up for this kid. I for one am glad we got on him early. He's a lifelong Michigan fan who idolizes Mike hart. No reason to not try and land a probable future 5 star early on. [Title]

Output: Before you pass judgement


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Body] I havent seen him play, but I can't imagine him being "not very good". The kid won state as a freshman, and everything I read made it seem as if the offense rested on his shoulders. RJS never seemed to put up big numbers on the ground so I can see the truth in that. If he can champion a state title team as a frosh then he's good enoug for me ( like that matters ). I'm just sayin, what a foundation to build upon with 3 more seasons to build upon. I hope will her keeps grooming this kid because he could be an top tier 5 star recruit by his sr year. An Alabama offer already? Home should offer just based on principle. Cass should get the title again easily. The team is more diverse talent/position wise this year. How crazy would it be if LTT had been able to transfer. [Title]

Output: I havent seen him play, but I


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Ouch. The harsh truth. [Title]

Output: Ouch


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Body] This is a good guess. I didn't even think of him. He did say he couldn't commit until hes a junior. Technically, schools over for the year and he completed the year so now he's considered a junior as far as the public school system is concerned. [Title]

Output: Good guess


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Why do people think he's just kidding whenever he says this? It's stupid. The last two times he said this people said the same thing and BOOM there were actual commits. He nor none of the other recruits have ever joked about there being a impending commitment. That's not even a funny joke, wheres the humor in that? Who's the joke upon? Recruits have been wrong but at least we've always known that they were based in reality. Of a commit has ever joked about this please prove me wrong. [Title]

Output: Are you kidding


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Body] That seems a little unlikely. We haven't had many recruits just mess with the fan base, if at all. We've only see them think they have a commit and the pull a Garnett [Title]

Output: Unlikely


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Body] It only makes sense that itd be Treadwell or Poggi. Anyone else would be kind of out of nowhere [Title]

Output: It only makes sense that


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Body] It should be about the local jurisdiction and what the punishment is their. Pot is noo big deal. I'd rather have my players in their dorms smoking J's and eating brownies while playing madden and ordering pizza on a saturday night than out binge drinking. As we've seen (with Big Will etc.) alcohol and minors lead to bad things. I'm especially a personal advocate of mixing the two. It seems to keep one from going overboard on the drunkeness and keeps you from raging and getting in to trouble. [Title]

Output: They should


Input: [Date] 3 years 9 weeks ago [Body] Lets not get too cocky. It's a long way till signing day. He could easily get a case of the "too far from homes" before putting pen to paper and end up at OSU or Illinois. Hell, maybe if we miss out on some "best availables we might end up flipping him with a last second effort. Who knows? [Title]

Output: Let's not get too cocky yet


Input: [Date] 3 years 9 weeks ago [Body] This is absolutely horrid. Woman like this are the reason that sex crimes are so difficult to deal with. What type of person puts a man through 6 years of prison and ruins his life just to avoid dealing with a bad sexual experience. [Title]

Output: Truly Despicable


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Body] Very true. I enjoyed the light-hearted yet spirited debate Magnus. Ur a classy guy. Some others on here should adopt your approach to disagreeing. [Title]

Output: Very True


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Body] I can't speak to why his coach used him in a 4-3 vs a 3-4. I'll concede to you that it's puzzling and most coaches put their best 3 or 4 on the line at that level. If you look at his highlights I just don't see any glaring weaknesses, no more than any other WDE recruit. Basically from his film I can't see any reason they'd bench him. He looks good vs the run, and the pass of course. I guess that's for the coaches to know and us to find out. [Title]

Output: I can't speak to....


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Body] I understand that point, however, the evidence points to him telling the truth of the matter. As I stated above, situational players/bench players don't amass 7 minutes of quality highlights in one season. If you can show me any other player who came off the bench and achieved that fete then I'll believe the rumors. [Title]

Output: I understand that


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Body] I know if I were a recruit, I'd be pissed if people (including my own fanbase) kept perpetuating misinformation about me and my abilities to see the field in High School. [Title]

Output: Additionally


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Body] Good point Mr. Magnus. However, it seems like you missed where i said that Taco himself and several other sources refute this point of him not being a "starter" [Title]

Output: Good point but....


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Body] I hate that people are still calling Taco "not a starter" last year. Its much more complicated than that to be honest. He himself on his own twitter refuted that claim a while ago. The whole Non-Starter thing is Ohio State BS that needs to stop over here. He complained about people saying that about him. Think about it. The kid is damn good. There's 4 guys on the D-Line. Pickerington is not exactly a powerhouse in Ohio and you really think there were 4 guys better than him? Hell no. If you don't believe me, go to the Ohio Recruiting site and check out his film. Its almost 7 mins long where he's defending against the run AND the pass. Do you really think a true non-starter could amass 7 minutes of highlights in one season of football?? He makes A LOT of plays throughout the film and isn't overly lacking in any part of his game, at least no more than any other recruit. The whole "non-starting" thing is a rumor gone amok, being perpetuated by Ohio. Pass it on [Title]

Output: Tired of the non-starter talk


Input: [Date] 3 years 13 weeks ago [Body] Ever since the Army AA game I've been trying off and on to find some highlight tapes that show the Pipkins pursuit and immediate wreckage of Diggs. This article is the first I've seen photos of it, but I want video. Pipkins has like 0 film anywhere to be seen! How am I going to wait all the way till august to see him with my own eyes? If you know where I can see some AA highlights of him, especially "The Diggs Collision", itd be greatly appreciated [Title]

Output: The Diggs Collision

Output: Shared Carries


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Based on Aquamans comment, I think I'd rather have Ty wait it out. If he commits now, I could totally see him re-opening his recruiting down the line. Not because i think anything negative of him, but I just know that if he commits the other programs will probably come at him even harder knowing he was just caught up in the rapture of commitapalooza. This is one guy that I'd rather have take his time and truly feel good that Michigan is for him [Title]

Output: Perspective


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Body] Can anyone simplify the twitter back-and-forth for me. I'm looking at this jumble of sh*t people call twitter and I cant understand how Farrell was put in his place and by whom. (I am 23 btw, is that sad?) [Title]

Output: Cant Understand Twitter


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Body] I think the majority of the credit should go to David Brandon. Hoke has always been Brady Hoke, that's what we love about him now. He came in just being himself. Brandon is the one who had the vision of what we could and should be, and he hired the people and put the pieces in place that have led to this resurgance. Don't get me wrong, Hoke is the man. He deserves all the credit he deserves. You just have to remember that without David Brandon, there is no Brady Hoke. Brandon knew that Hoke was "the one" when the general opinion was that he would be a downgrade. [Title]

Output: David Brandon

Input: [Date] 5 years 1 week ago [Body] I highly recommend parking at Colonial Lanes (or a place near there) on Industrial. The places near there usually only charge $5-10 and the walk to the stadium is not bad at all. Plus, there is not much traffic after. I have always parked at the party/liquor store just south of the bowling alley. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 1 week ago [Body] If you're a fan who wants to see Jeter one last time before he retires, you're happy he announced it when he did. Can you imagine how upset people would be if they missed out on their chance to see him play one more time, just because he didn't announce it? [Title]

Output: If you're a fan who wants to


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Body] Why are people acting like Michigan had anything to do with Eminem being at the game last year? He was there to promote his album to the TV audience. It's not like anyone at the game even knew Eminem was there. Highly doubt Brandon had anything to do with his being there. The Beyonce thing was Michigan's doing, though. [Title]

Output: Why are people acting like

Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Body] There most definitely are still places in the US where coming out or being perceived as gay could lead to severe discrimination and/or violence. I graduated from U of M in 2011, and I personally know more than one person who was gay bashed in Ann Arbor during my time as a student. This includes verbal and physical assault. So yes...it is still very much an issue even in a pretty liberal college town like A2. And let's not forget that you can still be fired based on sexual orientation in 29 states, including Michigan. [Title]

Output: There most definitely are


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I don't think Michigan is a great team this year, but let's look at our four losses. Losses against the #1, #2, and #3 teams in the country, and a loss against Nebraska with a RS freshman behind center taking the first meaningful snaps of his career in a tough road environment. I think we have a better shot at this than some people might think. [Title]

Output: I don't think Michigan is a


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Weak schedule? I think ND is overrated, but they beat Stanford, Oklahoma, and USC (yes, without Barkley, I know). I don't think you can call that a weak schedule. [Title]

Output: Weak schedule? I think ND is


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 days ago [Body] The players did nothing wrong. They should be able to transfer wherever they want. If that happens to be to another school under sanctions, then so be it. It's their choice and they should have that right. [Title]

Output: The players did nothing

Input: [Date] 3 years 5 weeks ago [Body] If one of the Wisconsin/MSU games wins, it has to be the first one. I know the second one technically had more on the line since it was the title game, but the first one was far more memorable to me. However, you have to give Under the Lights the edge, and I'm trying not to be biased (although it's hard, obviously). That game had everything! An epic comeback (we were down 17 in the 3rd quarter!) and 3 touchdowns in the final 1:12, including 2 in the final 30 seconds. The first Wisky/MSU game was exciting and memorable, but Under the Lights was insanity. [Title]

Output: If one of the Wisconsin/MSU

Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Body] Unfortunately, I graduated in 2011 and therefore missed UTL. Talk about a disappointment. I wish I could have been there! The 2009 ND game probably pales in comparison to those who were at UTL, but it was probably the craziest the stadium ever got while I was a student at Michigan. I remember losing my voice from screaming so loudly and everyone just going absolutely insane when Tate made that final TD pass. Such an awesome moment. So 2009 ND, 2010 triple OT Illinois, or 2008 Wisconsin were definitely some crazy, crazy moments. [Title]

Output: Unfortunately, I graduated in

Input: [Date] 3 years 14 weeks ago [Body] Is it not lost on the MSU faithful that for 3 of those 4 years, we were as bad as we've ever been? I'll give them last year - they beat a good team, so good for them. But honestly, the other 3? Which teams with half a pulse DIDN'T beat us during those years? They all did! I just find it funny that they think it's some huge claim to fame and represents their ascension to glory when really those were the same teams getting beaten by Toledo and barely squeaking by UMass. Congrats, Sparty. You should be so proud! [Title]

Output: Is it not lost on the MSU

Supposedly he was responsive and alert, but still went to the hospital of course. Hope he's okay.

Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] The Rays are definitely an exception to the norm, if only for the fact that they have the 2nd lowest payroll and can compete (and win) in the toughest division in baseball. But how much of an exception are they really? Let's look at the 2011 payrolls for the teams that got into the postseason last year. Tampa Bay: 29th Texas: 13th Yankees: 1st Detroit: 10th Philadelphia: 2nd St. Louis: 11th Milwaukee: 17th Arizona: 25th 3 of 8 teams (~38 percent) in the postseason were in the lower half of the league in payrolls. The same percentage was true for the 2010 season. That's not as lopsided as you might think. It seems to suggest that although it is certainly harder to compete with smaller payrolls, it might not be as much of an abberation as you suggest. [Title]

Output: The Rays are definitely an

Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] What about the Rays? In 2011, they had the second lowest payroll of any MLB team. They won the AL Wild Card. As of last year at least, the Orioles had the 3rd highest payroll in the AL East yet still finished dead last. (This is all according to CBSSports figures, fyi.) Money helps teams win. There's no doubt about it. But there's obviously a lot more to it than that. Plus, there's a big difference between buying top free agents and developing awesome players from within. The Yankees have obviously done their share of purchasing players (CC, Tex, A-Rod, etc.). But at the same time, a lot of their big players came up through the Yankee farm system - Jeter, Rivera, Cano, Posada, Pettite, as well as guys like David Robertson, Brett Gardner, Phil Hughes, and several others. So yes, the Yankees have the money to pay those guys to stay, but they are also the ones who developed that talent to begin with. Of course there are the A-Rods and CCs of the world, but every team has some of that. I mean, look at Fielder's contract. If the Tigers win the World Series this year, then you could have the same "bought the championship" argument. They now have the 5th highest payroll in the MLB. [Title]

Output: What about the Rays? In 2011,

Input: [Date] 7 years 3 days ago [Title] Stanford is still trying to [Body]

Output: Stanford is still trying to pay everyone back for The Band Play. And nobody should make fun of the Ballroom Dancing. Or the Men's Glee Club. M has the best. Bar none. And let's hear a cheer for a school that can make a kick butt solar car in a state that gets about 90 days of sun a year! THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!


Input: [Date] 7 years 3 days ago [Title] 200 words? Aww man. Is this [Body]

Output: 200 words? Aww man. Is this graded on a curve? Actually, I think "diaries" should be just that. I think a breakdown of the game is great, but so is a breakdown of the tailgate, or some past stories of great days of M-dom. I agree that smack probably belongs on the message board. To a point. I have respect for other schools and their traditions and fan bases, but I don't think it can be expected to show "Big Love" to Sparty or Bucknut Nation. But I don't think there's much point in "You suck," "No, YOU suck" postings.

Output: I like Inge, I'm just stunned that Pudge went. Shouldn't be. Anybody is fair game at trade time. I think more than anything they could use a shrink for the relievers and get their heads on right. Overall the underperformance of this group is frustrating. But they're still our team. Always have been. Always will be. :)

Input: [Date] 7 years 1 week ago [Title] Yeah, Rich Rod never did the [Body]

Output: Yeah, Rich Rod never did the late night stuff here on MSN after the game. Mountaineer Magazine was always something a few days later. I think it's too bad. Anyone who grew up on Michigan Replay will feel a little lost for a while. If I were a local station I'd have some kind of highlights program and insert it there assuming the rules allowed it. I'm really not sure how it goes with Michigan. I know where I live any station could turn a special out any day of the week on WVU because I've seen it time and time again. It's not just the "offifial station" of WVU that does specials. So maybe someone could chime in with a Sunday morning highlights show with some guest analysis. Surely there are two local Michigan Men who could partner with a Bernie or Don Shane and do a 30 min recap to feed the need on Sunday morning. Then again I guess in the age of DVRs and such, they figure Thursday is as good as any. Thursday M football show? Against. Sunday M Replay? For.

Output: We should borrow Woody's phrasing and just call it: That school down south and leave it at that. Except for the fact that ND is also down south. Hmm. Or we could adopt the election year strategy and just refer to them as "our opponents." I vote for Braylon's take. Why should we refer to them?


Input: [Date] 7 years 1 week ago [Title] Yes and no. If the [Body]

Output: Yes and no. If the military HAD been allowing guys to come out & play that's one thing, but otherwise it's just a bad pick by the Lions. They should have known the guy would have a job that he was liable for. I think of Roger Staubach. From the Wiki article on him: "He was a 10th round draft pick in the 1964 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, but due to his military commitment, did not begin playing until 1969 as a 27 year old rookie. He was also draftd by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 10th round of AFL draft. After graduating from the Naval Academy, Staubach could have requested an assignment in the States but he chose to volunteer for a one-year tour of duty in Vietnam where he served as a supply officer for the United States Navy until 1967. He spent the rest of his Naval career in the United States, playing football on various Naval service teams to prepare for his future career in the NFL." So - draw from that what you will I'm sure he's everything we need from our military leaders. You don't get into that place without being the top of the crop. But it just seems that the precedent has been set way back.

Output: It could be worse. (Sorry, I love WV as a state, but this IS funny ....) From my afternoon paper: Drinking tiki torch fluid is not advised by Kelly Holleran Daily Mail staff CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- More West Virginians are winding up in the emergency room for some weird, warm-weather mishaps: suspected poisoning by tiki torches and glow toys. The West Virginia Poison Center reports that so far this year four people have been treated for drinking the refillable liquid that fuels the tropical-themed torches, popular as patio décor and a favorite for backyard parties.


Input: [Date] 7 years 1 week ago [Title] No but the couch burning [Body]

Output: No but the couch burning friends a bit farther southeast of C-bus did dump trash cans on "The U" one game as they were coming out of their "Away" tunnel. Nearly started a brawl. Classy? No. Funny. Sorta mainly because everyone hates on "The U." The whole soccer Hooligan deal is pretty stupid. There's making noise. There's intimidating the other team with cheers and chants. There's spending hours on a blog page writing about your favorite team. And then there's the dumbasses who show up specifically to fight and either hurt someone or get hurt. This ain't Fight Club. I can find a way to "be alive" without having to roll with someone from the other teams so-called fans. That's just stupid.

Output: Word. If I WAS a betting man I think if M has ANY kind of a kicking game and they don't fumble the ball 20 times they'll pull it off. The emotions of the team will reach new levels because they have something to PROVE. There are still a lot of guys who lost to App St. on the team and they don't want to have their images all over for weeks on end being seen losing an opener to Utah no matter how good the Utes are.
