Output: There is a whole lot of doom


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Body] I agree, wolverine historian. MSU should pull this one out. The later it gets, the less of a threat Levon Bell will become, but I think Sparty will reach the end zone again before it's all said and done. I don't seeBoise getting another TD. Good game, though. [Title]

Output: I agree, wolverine historian.


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] I hope for the best, and the fact that he's moving all 4 extremities makes it less likely that there was cord involvement, but it doesn't rule it out. Not at all. That being said, there are tons of people who present after a neck injury who turn out to have musculoskeletal problems and their spine is fine. No one can honestly know what's going on through the internetz. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Morris is still but a glimmer in the distance [Body]

Output: The smart thing to do is for Michigan to take at least 1 qb in every class.


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Been wondering [Body]

Output: There does seem to be "over recruiting" at some positions even when possible eventual position changes are factored in. I believe this is a strong indication that Mattison and company are not overly impressed with more than a few of the players they inherited from RR & co. The signs seem to indicate Hoke expects there will be far more attrition via transfer as the 2011 season progresses and concludes.


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 weeks ago [Title] More speculation. [Body]

Output: I read the JJHuddle thread (have a subscription) and will say that the title of that post is speculation.


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 weeks ago [Title] The number of all-start [Body]

Output: The number of all-start events a player may attend is usually regulated by the players state high school association here in the US. For example, in Ohio I believe they have a 2 allstar game limit. So I imagine what is being referred to is the limit whatever governing body Stauskas plays under places on such events.


Input: [Date] 4 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Interesting topic. [Body]

Output: Professional wrestlers... I seem to run into them all the time. I rode in an elevator with Arn Anderson and Rick Orndorff. Turns out they had the hotel rooms across the hall from me. Was enjoying dinner at Max & Ermas when some jerk bumped into my chair really hard. Turned out to be Lex Luger with his friend Sting. They were very nice. We were he only ones aside from the waitress they spoke to. They signed autographs for kids but otherwise played cards (hearts) and pretty much kept to themselves. Met the (Reich)Steiner brothers in an airport and had a great conversation with them. Sat across the aisle from Cheryl Ladd on a plane. Tried to talk to her but was all tongue tied and ended up deciding the better part of valor was to drink myself into submission as an excuse for embarassing myself. Have met several professional baseball players and found most to be pretty cool guys - Chipper Jones was perhaps my favorite. Best claim to fame was meeting and having the opportunity to speak with Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler, Joe Paterno all within about a two week period. I met Bo a handful of times after that and despite each encounter being brief, he always remembered me or at least let on he did. The most special time was with my young son in Schembechler Hall - we were just "sight seeing" and he shook our hands and made a big deal over my son.


Input: [Date] 4 years 7 weeks ago [Title] This is a perfect example [Body]

Output: The reaction posted is a perfect example of how Buckeye fans react to things. I don't believe the average Michigan fan really appreciates how over the top these people are. Having lived in Cowlumbus for 14 years I can attest to their obession with the buckeyes being religious in its passion and fervor. Next comes the spin. There is no way they can simply wish Dodson (or Strobel) well and move on. They will have to rationalize why kids, whose virtues they previously extolled, became back stabbing traitors to buckeye nation overnight. These poor kids will have their good names dragged through the mud. Their houses will be egged. Their cars will be keyed. They will catch crap at school and be booed when they retake the field this fall. I have seen it all before... smh... it is bizarre and it is sad, but it is the reality of "buckeye nation"


Input: [Date] 4 years 8 weeks ago [Title] I don't like the whole retro uni movement [Body]

Output: I don't like the whole retro uni movement . Maybe that is why I don't have a specific problem with this design for Michigan's. It has Dave Brandon written all over it. It's different and therefore will get people talking about "the brand". It's controversial and therefore will get people talking about "the brand". It will sell and might sell surprisingly well with the publicity it will generate. Probably sell better after a Michigan win. My hunch is the players and younger kids will LOVE it. That said, the only sport that should entertain retro uniforms in baseball. Some of those Pirates / A's uniforms from teh 70's and 80's were really cool. The Red Sox white unis they wore recently with white caps and solid red socks up to the knees were cool. God forbid anyone ever attempts to bring back the short shorts with long white socks look of 1970's basketball.


Input: [Date] 4 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Just wondering.... [Body]

Output: Wonder about the possibility of a deep pocketed booster paying Pryor, say $100,000.00, to skip his senior season? He cannot be compelled to speak with the NCAA investigators now that he is no longer in school. I am not saying this has happened.


Input: [Date] 4 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Had offers from several Big 10 schools [Body]


Input: [Date] 4 years 8 weeks ago [Title] He held a workout [Body]

Output: He held a workout in May. Coaches from several colleges, including Michigan, were in attendance. I would have taken O'Connor over the other area product Maty Mauk in a heartbeat. Is this a sleep depriving loss for Michigan? Hardly. I reserve the right to re-evaluate that 3-4 years down the road . Wish him good luck, except when playing Michigan. Time to move on.

Output: You snooze, you might well lose your spot in this class the way Hoke & company are recruiting.


Input: [Date] 4 years 9 weeks ago [Title] What's your point? [Body]

Output: What's your point.....smh ..... that OSU's f***up was greater than ours on some morality scale?


Input: [Date] 4 years 9 weeks ago [Title] Not where I thought this was going [Body]

Output: I figured you were going to speculate about Dantonio's history with Ohio State and if what is going on in the buckeye state was happening when he was there might it might be going on at MSU now. I'm not sure the impact on recruiting short term. I mean, there will be some for sure, but I think long term the impact could be significant. If the NCAA were to slap OSU with sanctions similar to what USC got - specificially a recduction and limitation of scholarships it could open Ohio up to a lot of programs. The state is already heavily recruited but even more top kids could leave for places like Michigan, Penn State, Notre Dame not to mention other Big 10 schools, WVU. The real danger is SEC schools getting a foothold and siphoning off top tier talent out of Ohio. That would not only hurt the buckeyes but Michigan as well not to mention the Big 10 in general.


Input: [Date] 4 years 9 weeks ago [Title] He was given a choice [Body]

Output: He was given a choice, resign on his own or be fired.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Give it a rest already. If [Body]

Output: Give it a rest already. If you seek the truth, then yes, Rich Rodriguez committed NCAA violations that tarnished Michigan football's image. Is that what you want to hear Carr say? I have no problem stating that. It is the plain and simple truth. Let me ask you this, if Bo were still alive what do you think his response to that question would have been?

Output: O'Connor is the guy I want to see in Maize and Blue. What might help him is that he is a helluva kicker besides being an outstanding QB


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Good post. [Body]

Output: I basically agree. However, I do feel that RR remains a part of the Michigan program and will forever. It is painfully obvious that some will continue to wistfully dwell on the promise they saw during the RR era and truth be know, that's okay. The focus does need to shift to the current coaching staff and the future of the program. That transition has begun, but there isn't an on / off switch that can flipped. Grieiving is a process that must be allowed to run its course. A good season this fall would help. A great season would be even more helpful in helping people move on. But RR should not be forgotten, imo.


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Always like Kiper [Body]

Output: Always liked Kiper and found McShay to be an annoying foil at best. I think McShay has picked up his game and now offers an informed counter opinion to Kiper - the two of them together "works" now. Mock drafts are fun. The key is to not take them too seriously. The best anyone can do is make an educated guess the overwhelming majority of the time. The best prognasticators might get the top 3-5 selections correct any given year.


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Title] I see you are in agreement [Body]

Output: I see you are in agreement with RR's attitude on this. I respect that. Don't agree with it, but are entitled to your opinion.


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Just being realistic. [Body]

Output: 1) Hoke wants to play "man ball" or power football and this roster has been built for the spread. 2) Depth along both lines is very thin. A significant injury or two in either of these units, but especially the DL, would be disasterous. And unfortunately injuries are common in football. 3) We were 7-6 last season and our best win was probably over UConn. Looking at the 2011 schedule I believe we should win 7 with a couple of games being toss ups and probably 3 losses minimum. I would take 8-4 going into the bowl game. A good season, but not a great one.


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Title] You raise a good point [Body]

Output: I for one am not epecting a great season from Michigan football in 2011. There exists a belief that had Michigan fielded even a medicore defense to go with last season's offense that the team might have contended. Now that Mattison is back and a defensive minded head coach is in place there seems to be an expectation that Michigan is back. Ha! What we saw in the spring game was very much a work in progress. I anticipate a winning season next fall but not a great season. This team will continue to struggle until the roster is rebuilt. BTW, rebuilding the roster is the primary reason I was skeptical of the RR hire and yet pulled so hard for him to succeed. For if RR washed out, I knew it would mean another roster makeover and perpetuate the "rebuilding" of the program. Hoke has a 6 year contract and I fully epect it to take at least 3 years to return to consistently contending for Big 10 and national honors.


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Title] I believe you are missing a point [Body]

Output: Playing devils advocate with your argument: If RR had come in and only lost 5 games in his first three seasons he would not have felt so threatened by what the former players represent. I believe RR felt tremendous pressure to live up to Michigan. He came in confident of his methodology and went about molding the program into his vision for it. That was to be expected and was for the most part accepted at first. RR was also naive and overconfidence, some might say arrogance, can have that impact. Most, including former players, recognized that change was needed in Michigan football. It is important to remember the change most were advocating -> Les Miles, Urban Meyer, Mike DeBord and even Brady Hoke. What BM gave us was drastic change. RR was doomed from the moment he was hired in some regards. Being the one to usher in such drastic change he was never, and I do mean never, going to be fully accepted at Michigan. Had RR and the spread enjoyed a bit more early success, had RR been able to field even a mediocre defense, the result would have been positive change in the sense that his successor could have been of his mold. That RR failed and did so on such a grand level gave Dave Brandon no choice but to move the program back towards where it was before. Will the spread ever make it's way back to Michigan? Only if Hoke fails on the same level as RR failed will there be a chance for that to happen. But leave no doubt, RR did not fail because of the spread offense. RR did not fail because of not being able to establish a healthy relationship with former players - he would have overcome that with winning seasons. RR failed because he fielded the worst defensive teams in 130+ years of Michigan football. The one thing he never embraced is one of the two things that have permeated Michigan since Bo arrived - Defense Wins Championships. The other thing, of course, is The TEAM, the TEAM, the TEAM. RR failed here too. This is really where the former players enter the picture. You might need to have been closely associated with the program to fully appreciate what I am about to write - once a member of The TEAM, always a member of The TEAM.


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Several former players [Body]

Output: Several former players I know have stated they felt the previous staff was ambivalent towards them. That RR and his staff tolerated them but never embraced them or what they consider Michigan to be. More than one stated (and I paraphrase) that they were made to feel passe by RR and his staff. It is not the "break from traditions" that was RR's mistake. No, it was the loss of continuity that permeated the program with each passing day of RR's tenure. RR's decision-making in this regard isolated his program from what is the very strength of the Michigan program. Hoke has worked hard to bring the boys back to town and not only that, he wants to integrate them into the program. He has embraced the former players in a manner RR was not interested in doing. These recruits talk about the current Michigan players and how they are genuine, humble and sincere. Pay attention because some of them also talk about seeing the former players and how they act the same way. Continuity. Tradtion, Family. These are the things resonating from Hoke's program and coaching staff. Not just Hoke, Mattison and Mallory,but the entire coaching staff. This is what is being embraced by the former players. Now, you should not interpret my comments as being anti-RR. While I do feel RR made a poor decision in not educating himself about Michigan and embracing its rich and storied history on a level he might of I also feel Michigan never embraced RR as it might have. The truth is RR is a good football coach, a good man, but a terrible fit at Michigan. If blame must be assigned for RR's failure it needs to be laid at the feet of Bill Martin (and MSC) for hiring him and placing in him an untenable position. Bill Martin should have known better and might well have. To his credit, I believe BM recognized and became caught up in the growing rift within Michigan that swirled about Lloyd Carrs management of the program, but instead of acting decisively as a leader should he allowed that coaching search to turn into a fiasco leading to the cop out hire of RR. And, yes, that is exactly what it was. However, what needs to be addressed and promoted and even revelled in is this - Michigan is being reunited under Hoke (and Brandon's) leadership. There is a positivity about the program that has been absent since the latter part of the Carr era. The energy is coming back into the program and that bodes well for all of us.

Output: Went to weather.cpm and looked at the hourly forecast for tomorrow. At game time they were predicting 30% chance.


Input: [Date] 4 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Waiting on weather report [Body]

Output: We will probably wait until late tonight or early morning to judge what the weather will be. Right now the game time forecast is 30% chance of rain. That's not too bad, but I still don't care to sit out in the rain when I can watch it live on the BTN.

Output: It is the curse of the so-called fab five. It's like they cannot help themselves.


Input: [Date] 4 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Very poor timing [Body]

Output: Driving while under the influence is simply unacceptable. I lost a niece to a drunk driver - the guy was doing over 80 mph on an exit ramp and rear ended her stopped car. Beyond making an extremely poor decision his timing was poor as well. Call out Duke / Grant Hill & co. and get yourself arrested for DUI. Geesh.... just get a frigging clue.


Input: [Date] 4 years 18 weeks ago [Title] That was a very good Michigan [Body]

Output: That was a very good Michigan team. Wayman Britt, Ricky Green, Phil Hubbard. They were unfortunate in having to go against that Indiana team that probably would have been undefeated for two consecutive years had Scotty May not broken his wrist. Good times. Fond memories.


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Title] They'll be fine next year. [Body]

Output: They'll be fine next year. OSU has had one rebuilding year in the last decade and a half. I'm sure they'll fill those gaps with little difficulty.

Output: I am content.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] who are you? [Body]

Output: The fact that you're getting jollies from kicking opposing fans while they're down doesn't reflect poorly on your team so much as it reflects poorly as you as a person. Get off the computer and go get laid or something.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] oh come on... I'm as upset as [Body]

Output: oh come on... I'm as upset as everybody else but you realize Hoke beat OSU last year right? In a game where Mattison's defense almost blew the game and Denard had a career day? I'm upset at Borges too but this is Michigan -- to say that we will "never beat OSU" with Hoke is inane


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Title] No, we just aren't [Body]

Output: No, we just aren't sympathetic to entitled children. Football isn't an inalienable right, ffs. Grow up and accept the fact that you have to miss a football game.

Output: Keep posting, I'm sure you're going to persuade more people.


Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Uhm, the fact that we would [Body]

Output: Uhm, the fact that we would be livid (or that you are livid) doesn't mean we/you are right. Yeah, I'd be pretty damn angry if this happened (we had a similar call this year against Iowa go against us) but that has zero bearing on the truth. Also I'm glad you took the time to come read the website of the "epitome of scum" and that you care so much what we think that you'd try to change our minds. Superlolz. Side note: am I the only person who thinks that Denard's "interception" on the second drive was a clear no-catch? The defender had even less posession than Coale did but they didn't overturn it...


Input: [Date] 3 years 32 weeks ago [Title] Am I the only person who [Body]

Output: Am I the only person who hates the font for the numbers? They are too round. They should use the font for the numbers on the home uniforms.


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Title] As a person from the state of [Body]

Output: As a person from the state of Virginia, I can say that most people here who aren't Tech fans acknowledge Tech is an overrated program. I'm generally annoyed by Tech fans because they seem to be the state-wide bandwagon team, but this year I'm more annoyed by all of my friends at UVA who `are suddenly the world's greatest football fans because UVA is having a winning season (or I'm just bitter because they spanked my school...) Personally I don't think either of the two of us has a strong enough body of work to play in a BCS game, but it will still be entertaining to watch.


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Wow. You people need to [Body]

Output: Wow. You people need to listen to yourselves. Stop implying the refs have some sort of hidden agenda or reason to make calls against Michigan. They made favorable and unfavorable calls towards both teams, just like refs do in every game in the history of every sport. Please stop turning it into something it's not and making wild, untrue accusations. Enjoy the win.

Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] I was accepted from out of [Body]

Output: I was accepted from out of state (VA), but so were all of the other people I know who applied. From what I'd heard we had a lot more students accepted from our high school than in previous years so I thought this year they might have slightly lowered their standards. For the record none of us could afford it so we're all going elsewhere.

Input: [Date] 4 years 19 weeks ago [Title] His jumpshot was way easier [Body]

Output: His jumpshot was way easier than a three point shot, especially one that Stu is shooting (no offense Studawg.) He just put a tad too much on it. Definitely the right decision.

Input: [Date] 4 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Michigan wouldn't have won [Body]

Output: Michigan wouldn't have won playing the way they played down the stretch, but cristos, they wouldn't have been rushing stupid shots if they weren't put in a massive hole. Sullinger had as many free throws as his team had fouls (11.) Can you fucking believe that? Apparently it's a foul if you breathe on him now.


Input: [Date] 4 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Forgive my lack of basketball knowledge [Body]

Output: Is there a rule where you can only call fouls on the visiting team?

Output: Might have also had to do with the injuries and interceptions against actual defenses.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] UConn's quarterbacks [Body]

Output: I'm going to school with a QB who committed to UConn. He's leaving in two weeks so he can train in the spring. He'll be a junior in 2013, assuming he doesn't redshirt. Basically, think of Chris Relf with more accuracy. Pretty physical runner.


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] Agreed. The douche level is [Body]

Output: Agreed. The douche level is getting too damned high on this board. I'm not sure if it's just because of the points system, though. It might be a direct result of its increased popularity and moving to the mainstream that dilutes out the quality posters. That doesn't stop me from visiting daily, though.


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] I know that this all in good [Body]

Output: I know that this all in good fun, but who really does a consistently good job as a solo talk radio host? National guys like Jim Rome/SVP have a room full of people to keep churning out the topics, and are hardly in the same category. I really don't know of any, and stand by my Caputo reference. Even if you think he's an idiot, the man has been doing the job for a long time, knows his craft, and can fill a strange air time by himself with reasonable consistency.


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] I can't believe all of the [Body]

Output: I can't believe all of the negative comments in this thread. I understand that a thread like this will bring out the vocal minority that for whatever reason dislike a radio show (see the many threads where other shows get blasted), but this seems over the top. I enjoy listening to Ira and wtka. I think the point that is lost in all the negativity are that it is a blessing and a curse to cover Michigan sports so in depth. We all tune in because we like hearing about michigan football, but the problem is there really isn't a whole lot of news to fill in multiple hours every single day. Sure, they do a good job during the football season, but how could you not ramble about a random michigan factoid or a game from 20 years ago when it's April and there hasn't been any real michigan football news in months? I'm also surprised that Ira is being criticized a little about rambling. It is an extremely difficult skill to fly solo in a talk radio show. It is literally just you meant to fill the air for x amount of hours, and be sure to fill that air, too because nothing is worse that pauses or dead air time. Rants and long winded conversations with yourself are absolutely inevitable, and actually necessary. Combine that with the fact that you have no social cues to know exactly when your audience is losing interest, it makes it extremely difficult. Sprinkle in the fact that the audience is so niche that callers don't exactly light up his boards all the time, and it's a lot of Ira talking without it being his fault at all. I think Ira does a great job. I don't listen to many national radio talk shows anymore, and the only local guy that can really fly solo on the radio pretty we'll is pat caputo besides Ira. Again, I'm sure there are people here that don't enjoy his show, but I think he does a great job of keeping a show entertaining even if he doesn't have a cohost to bounce conversations off of. Pat has been doing this for decades, has many more topics available for him to cover, and has a much larger Detroit sports fan base to "turn it to the people" when he hits a lull. Let's give Ira some credit. Keep up the good work Ira. I moved out of the area 2 years ago. I used to solely listen to sports talk radio, but when I made the move yours is the only talk radio I listen to anymore via the radio app. You do a great job and we appreciate it.

Coming off a season that many thought we should have played for the NC, senior star running back and quarterbacks that had been pegged to be national contenders for years, the future #1 overall pick.

Output: I'm all for jumping all over the espn hype train,but I have to give them credit on the clowney case. They sure did hype him to insane levels, but he also got a whole hell of a lot of criticism after that first game. Between the first and second game there was some residual hype and discussion as to whether the first game was an outlier, but after two nondominating performances, I haven't heard that much hype on him. It only took two weeks to crush espn's golden boy, and that's not too bad.

Output: We absolutely did not stuff them every time we got aggressive. I was surprised how well they seemed to pick up our blitzes and with our corners playing off so much it seemed like it was raining short slants for 8-9 yards a pop.


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] Manziel is looking sharp [Body]

Output: Manziel is looking sharp today. I hate to say it but I thought his hype train was out of control. Those deep balls to single coverage are on point.


Input: [Date] 2 years 38 weeks ago [Title] That is what always happens [Body]

Output: That is what always happens on a standard play action pass.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] There is no way that a [Body]

Output: There is no way that a rational person can believe that at this point in their respective football careers Devin Gardner gives us a better chance at winning a football game compared to Denard Robinson. That thought is silly, in my opinion, but so is us arguing about exactly how awesome DG is right now. We both are glad he's on the team, and we both are looking forward to seeing him kick some butt next year, everything else is arguing over minutia. It was a good game. Go Blue.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Come on. Based on a couple [Body]

Output: Come on. Based on a couple deep throws that could, no would have been picked off against better DBs? He has looked good today against a big ten bottom dweller, and I'm glad that the guy is having a breakout game, but all you need to do is rewatch the past few spring games to realize how silly you sound. Furthermore, throwing mechanics? Neither Denard nor Devin are picture perfect throwers. Both have great arm strength, but your kidding yourself if you don't see DG short arming his throws.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Everyone needs to temper [Body]

Output: Everyone needs to temper their excitement for DG a little bit. No, he is not better than Denard. We are all excited to have a QB option that could be a threat next year, but this is Minn.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] We do know that Michigan used [Body]

Output: We do know that Michigan used to run the triple option, right?


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] That's not true at all. It [Body]

Output: That's not true at all. It completely depends on the injury.

Output: Still think we lose this one?


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] I was wondering the same [Body]

Output: I was wondering the same thing. My guess is to get more speed and aggressiveness on the field.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] I'm not as high on AF as you [Body]

Output: I'm not as high on AF as you are, but I agree with you.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] No. We have to whine about [Body]

Output: No. We have to whine about Borges running Denard either too much or too little.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Our offense is moving the [Body]

Output: Our offense is moving the ball at will, as it probably should be against this defense. Our defense is certainly not calming any concerns from last week, but it is a defense designed to line up against pro sets and zone read options. I am not sure how much struggling against this team tells us going forward.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Seriously? Did you watch [Body]

Output: Seriously? Did you watch 2008? This is nothing like 2008.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] There is a whole lot of doom [Body]

Output: There is a whole lot of doom and gloom on this board today.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] I agree, wolverine historian. [Body]

Output: I agree, wolverine historian. MSU should pull this one out. The later it gets, the less of a threat Levon Bell will become, but I think Sparty will reach the end zone again before it's all said and done. I don't seeBoise getting another TD. Good game, though.


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Title] I hope for the best, and the [Body]

Output: I hope for the best, and the fact that he's moving all 4 extremities makes it less likely that there was cord involvement, but it doesn't rule it out. Not at all. That being said, there are tons of people who present after a neck injury who turn out to have musculoskeletal problems and their spine is fine. No one can honestly know what's going on through the internetz.

Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Title] The author of this article [Body]

Output: The author of this article completely screwed this up. If it was based on the rankings he would simply apply to more widely used national criteria to the regional schools. Even a "top" ranked regional school would struggle to make the top 75. Creighton accepts 80 percent of its students and as a 25 percentile ACT score of 24. It isn't some academic powerhouse.


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] They offered Pallante a full [Body]

Output: They offered Pallante a full scholarship and had Williams as a backup but he chose ND. Maybe there weren't any other sleeper DEs that they liked in the class. I doubt that they just didn't consider backup options.


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] That makes more sense. From [Body]

Output: That makes more sense. From the OP I thought you were looking into buying gold as an "investment".


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] I don't know how you can [Body]

Output: I don't know how you can claim it stays pretty stable when it lost around 30 percent of its value in 2013.

Output: Why would you buy gold?


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Title] Surely what you mean is that [Body]

Output: Surely what you mean is that you don't have any memories of buying a drink at Ricks until after you graduated?


Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Title] I disagree with the "major [Body]

Output: I disagree with the "major diversity" suggestion. I think it would only reward schools that offer a large group of academically questionable majors. Remember when Ohio State was making fun of Michigan for having so many kids concentrating on General Studies while they players majoring in "Family Resource Management" and "Sports and Leisure Studies". Furthermore, kids who didn't care would still be pushed into random majors. I think it is actually beneficial to put players who don't have a specific interest into concentrations like General Studies at Michigan, Business at Notre Dame, or Science, Technology, and Society at Stanford (info from old mgoblog article "Destroy Harbaugh"). It gives them a manageable selection of classes(considering their intense athletic schedules) and allows them to take classes with their peers while offering them exposure to college level courses and helping them build basic communication/analytical skills. If they fail to make it in football and desire a more specific education at a later time, schools should offer them a full-ride and admissions help to a grad program of their choosing. If anything, I think the NCAA should push to standardize education for atheletes across schools and ensure that athletes meet some core set of criteria in their coursework. Granting Terrell Pryor the status of Academic All-American is a greater mockery of college athletics than pushing kids towards a more managable course of action.


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Title] Which RB coaches would have [Body]

Output: Which RB coaches would have made any of the RR-era backs into multiyear NFL players? Touissant's injury pretty much ended his NFL hopes. V Smith was never going to make in the NFL. STEVE SLATON IS NOT IN THE NFL. Does Rich Rod have any RBs currently in the NFL? Rawls was just a body in the 1 month 2011 class. Jackson hyped him up. Jackson hypes everyone up. Justice Hayes is still under 200 pounds. Hayes will still be a RS Jr. He looked pretty good in the bowl game, even if he is moving to slot. Drake Johnson, who was supposedly very raw coming out of HS, was competiting for the starting job. I thought Smith and Green improved a good amount over the course of the year.


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Title] He must not be a big Under [Body]

Output: He must not be a big Under Armour fan.


Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Title] It is also important to have [Body]

Output: It is also important to have 3 scholarship-worthy athletes at QB. So far, the 2011 QB class has been underwhelming. What QB would you have taken that you would feel comfortable starting as a RS Fr? Would it help the 2013 team to take another Bellomy-level talent over a guy like Willie Henry/Dennis Norfleet(last minute guys who are major contributors)?


Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Title] We didn't have relatively [Body]

Output: We didn't have relatively few. Last year we had 4 all B1G and this year we have three. Considering there are 12 teams and only 26 spots, we had a good amount relatively.


Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Title] The 2011 team ran the ball [Body]

Output: The 2011 team ran the ball pretty well. They also won a big road game against Virginia Tech.


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Title] How is there a lack of demand [Body]

Output: How is there a lack of demand if the tickets are still over 100 dollars? There have been a few Michigan games were it was difficult to give student tickets away.


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Title] It's supposed to be amateur [Body]

Output: It's supposed to be amateur athletics. Players who wish to be paid according to their free market value you can try to do so elsewhere or lobby the NFL to drop their ridiculous restrictions


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] He could still get a pay [Body]

Output: He could still get a pay raise by leaving. If texas offers him 15 million a year, he turns them down, an they offer their second choice 7 million a year, Alabama would only have to pay him 7.1 million.


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] Doesn't the BWW pick before [Body]

Output: Doesn't the BWW pick before the Gator this year?


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] What are you talking about? [Body]

Output: What are you talking about? Pretty much every coach hired into the league is a former coordinator/assistant. UW and Colorado hired coaches from weaker conferences(though petersen is a much bigger name that any MAC coach). Arizona and WSU took chances on disgraced offensive gurus and ASU hired Graham. UCLA snagged a twice fired former NFL HC.


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Title] Amazon's CyberMonday site is [Body]

Output: Amazon's CyberMonday site is pretty sweet, especially for electronics. I pretty much just checkin on the deals on it all day. There are/were some really cheap TVs if someone is looking to pickup a second TV for their bedroom or something.


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Title] Most of those guys appeared [Body]

Output: Most of those guys appeared compotent and to not struggle starting next to other veteran players. Schofield looks terrible this year and many people are saying Lewan actually isn't that great. How many times in Michigan history have we had this many young guys playing side by side on the OL/TE/FB positions?


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] Set for years? Isn't Guiton a [Body]

Output: Set for years? Isn't Guiton a senior and Braxton a sophomore?

Output: So we can lose the extra practices?

Output: Yeah they don't usually lose to less talented ND, Nebraska, Iowa, etc. teams almost every year. God bless you man, hmmmmmmmmm,


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] It is one thing if talented [Body]

Output: It is one thing if talented underclassman beat out multiple more experienced players for a starting position. Michigan has three young guys right next to each other on the interior that are pretty much playing their by default.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] Or we win out, they lose in [Body]

Output: Or we win out, they lose in the CCG, and we go to a BCS bowl while they go to the Outback bowl or something.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] He had won an NC with LSU but [Body]

Output: He had won an NC with LSU but not many would have said he was the best coach in CFB in 2007.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] Did watch FSU in 2011 when [Body]

Output: Did watch FSU in 2011 when those "veterans" were playing for the first time? They went 8-4 with losses to Virginia and Wake Forest with a defense that was more talented than ours.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] If your avatar pic is of [Body]

Output: If your avatar pic is of yourself you need to stop dressing like an ass. Drives me crazy. No headset. You look like an idiot. You look like a 3rd grader whose parents bought him clothing a size to big because they didn't care about how it looked and he would someday grow into them. Also, I don't know why you 'quoted' toughness and your puns are week.* *no.

Output: They both had *a freshman starter.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] Young OL can contribute. [Body]

Output: Young OL can contribute. However, the odds that 3 young OL playing adjacent to each other against the best D in the country on the road are going not play terribly are pretty low.

Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Body] Not to take anything away from this as an admirable action, but why does every single mention of the NBA on this blog have to reference how despicable the league and/or its players are? You don't have to like the league, but those of us who follow it closely know that there's no reason to think most players aren't by and large good people. [Title]

Output: Not to take anything away


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Body] 1.) Sport Management at Michigan is essentially a business degree. Almost a third of the people in my classes are pre-law, and plenty go on to work for financial firms that have nothing to do with sports. Not that working in sports is even something to sneeze at. 2.) Sports movement is not a major that is offered... Maybe they meant Movement Science? Most of those kids are pre-med. [Title]

Output: 1.) Sport Management at


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Body] Ok this is just inaccurate on a number of levels. For one, the assertion that players, particularly point guards, in the NBA don't have "developed" games is ridiculous. The NBA is loaded with loaded with point guard talent right now, and to suggest that Chris Paul and Deron Williams aren't "developed" is nonsensical. For two, I wouldn't even consider Jeremy LIn an "all-around" player. I want to take nothing away from his accomplishments because what he is doing is truly sensational, but dude has flaws. He shot well this past game, but he has a funky shot and it remains to be seen whether or not he can be a consistent jump shooter. He gets most of his points via penetration to his right, and is definitely not ambidextrous yet. He also very much relies on his size and athleticism. He's not Derrick Rose or Russell Westbrook, but he's also much bouncier than say, Steph Curry and way stronger than a Nash. His 6-3 200 frame allows him to absorb contact in the lane and he has the hangtime and strength to finish tough layups. D-Mo has the size but is not as quick or athletic as Lin (and is even more right-dominated). In conclusion, Lin is plenty fun to watch, and so far looks to be an excellent player, but he's not really a revelation stylistically, and shouldn't be used to bash the NBA. [Title]

Output: Ok this is just inaccurate on

Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Body] The MLS is certainly growing, largely because they are being smart about where they are expanding (unlike the NHL). Seattle, Philly, and Portland have all been great examples, and I guarantee Montreal will have great attendance when they enter the league next year. That being said, the gains the league has made is often overstated. The most spacious NBA and NHL arenas only hold at most a little over 20,000, and the majority hold fewer than that. Many MLS teams now have their own stadiums which hold about that, but their attendance numbers are skewed by the Sounders and a little by the Galaxy as well, who play in larger venues (although they are also a little negatively skewed by the Earthquakes, whose stadium only holds 10,000). Attendance by percentage of capacity still lags behind the NBA and NHL, and I bet there are certain teams in those leagues who could sell out 25,000 most games if they had the opportunity. Soccer is really only as high as the second most popular sport in Seattle (behind football) and Portland (behind basketball). In most places, it's still lucky to be fourth, if not fifth (I'm not including NASCAR). I think soccer will pass hockey on a national scale within the next thirty years, but the MLS still has a ways to go if it's gonna rival basketball or baseball. [Title]

Output: The MLS is certainly growing,

Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Body] Lions aren't really struggling with attendance, #2 in the league in new ticket sales and even last year ended up selling out 7 of 8 home games, hell I think the Monday night is already sold out for this year. Hype was not solely on Leshoure's shoulders. That being said, I'd rather a bigger back than Hart. I'm ready for Hart to quit pro football to join the Michigan coaching staff so he can take over for Hoke. [Title]

Output: Lions aren't really


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Body] The Tigers don't have one game left against the Red Sox, Yankees, Angels, or Rangers. This schedule should get them to the playoffs regardless. Once the playoffs start, the Tigers are way overmatched anyway. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Body] I love hip hop but I know some people who don't like it simply because they prefer singing. It's gonna be hard to convince those people regardless of how quality the song is. It's super annoying when people attack the genre because of its perceived simplicity, but ultimately people are entitled to their opinion. I hate pretty much all rap on the radio, but passing judgement on it/people that like it is really just as bad as people twho dismiss the entire genre. To each their own, negative opinions are unnecessary IMO. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Body] Thank You. The NBA isn't going anywhere, the sentiment of this board is not the national sentiment. Basketball is still much more popular than hockey nationwide. I don't understand why people on this board feel the need to bash it so often, I was really hoping this thread would be a place where NBA fans reflect on what the lockout would mean. But of course we just get attacks full of negativity and subtle racism, not sure why I should have expected better. [Title]

Output: Thank You. The NBA isn't


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Body] I like the NBA. At times 100% effort is not given through a long regular season, but in my perception, for the most part to say they are not trying is not accurate. People are entitled to their opinion, but I for one am incredibly saddened by the potential of losing a season when the league had such momentum. [Title]

Output: I like the NBA. At times 100%


Input: [Date] 1 week 9 hours ago [Body] I still think the biggest problem early last season was Walton getting hurt in the Vilanova game. He had none of his explosiveness afterwards and couldn't help Caris share the load. IMHO the biggest thing the team needs to work on is Doyle improving his PnR chemistry with both Caris and Walton. [Title]

Output: I still think the biggest

The NBA has better shooters, athletes, and game action. If given the choice between a UM game and the NBA, I'd watch UM 100% because I love UM. But if given the choice between a random non-NCAA tourney college game and a random NBA game? I'd always pick the NBA. [Title]

He played thru the end of last season on a hurt foot and produced. He was the only consistent piece this year until he gets hurt. By comparison, Funchess was the epitome of the Hoke era in underacheiving. [Title]

[Title]

Input: [Date] 33 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I'd bump your YPA average up a bit to maybe 7.5 YPA as 6 YPA would rank 111th in the NCAA this year. I agree with you about he ideal QB however. An accurate QB who has the ability to make the defense pay when they forget to pay attention to his legs is by far the hardest to defend for defenses. [Title]

Output: I'd bump your YPA average up


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 10 hours ago [Body] The complaint isn't that EMU is a cupcake, it's that EMU's coach is a former Cuse assistant who runs the 2-3 just like Syracuse does. Playing them first allows you to try out your zone offense so it's not as much of a culture shock when you play Syracuse. Once we knew we were playing Syracuse we should have had EMU moved earlier to the schedule (instead of say Detroit). [Title]

Output: The complaint isn't that EMU


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 10 hours ago [Body] I'd argue that a one sentence blurb is hardly annoying, especially with such a salient point. Playing EMU to prep for the Syaracuse zone is just common sense. [Title]

Admittedly not a perfefct estimate of performance, but it seemed a fair way to do it. Henne in Losses in 06 (@OSU, USC (Rose Bowl): 47/76 (61.8%) 576 yds 4 TD/1Int 7.58 YPA Gardner in Losses in 13 (@PSU, @MSU, Neb, @Iowa, OSU) 92/155 (59.4%) 1195 yds 10 TD/3 Int 7.71 YPA Henne in "middle 9" (excludes Minn, IU for good, CMU, NW for bad) 164/265 (61.9%) 1836 yds 16 TD 7 INT (6.93 YPA) Gardner in "middle 8" (excludes Minn, IU for good, Uconn/Iowa for bad) 150/248 (60.5%) 2027 yds 16 TD 9 INT (8.17 YPA) The fact is Gardner's bad decisions are very memorable, but overall he was very good last year almost any way you slice it up. The coaching malpractice of this staff with respect to his development is criminal and a fireable offense in and of itself. And that's not considering Gardner's athletic ability advantage. Considering the difference in talent on offense (Generously WR = equal, but RB and OL for 06 >>>>>>> Rb and OL for 13), it's absolutely infuriating that Gardner got as much criticism for his play last year as he did. The only Michigan QB to get more unfair criticsm in my lifetime was John Navarre and after that's it's not even close [Title]

Output: Fair enough I will do as you ask.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 6 days ago [Body] i think the difference with the AD search is that all those being floated with Michigan ties would be competent hires. It's also a reason why they might be interested in coming back as someone with no ties here may not want to step into the situation. It's not a bad thing to have ties to Michigan, it just shouldn't be the deciding factor. [Title]

Output: i think the difference with


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 2 days ago [Body] That's not the way statistics work though. Say we're a 30% chance to win PSU, Maryland, Norhtwestern and Indiana and 1% chance to win OSU/MSU. Then if each event is indepndent, the probability of losing out = (0.7)^4*(0.99)^2 = 0.235 or 24% approximately. So there is a 76% chance under those assumptions that we'd win at least one game [Title]

Output: That's not the way statistics


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I'm not the world's biggest Brandon fan, but I feel as if criticisms should be founded in facts. I believe Brandon actually donates more than his annual salary back to the University. [Title]

Output: I'm not the world's biggest


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Body] This isn't a criticism as the non-athletic issues very much have needed to be covered, but it's nice to focus on some football again. Even if we aren't very good, we only get 12 games of these a year so I'll always look forward watching the winged helmets take the field. Hopefully Gardner comes out inspired and helps negate the Rutgers DL enough for us to come out with a victory. [Title]

Output: Appreciate some football focused analysis


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I don't think its atypical to not exhibit symptoms until a day later, but I think his point is that there is no conceivable reason that Hoke should not have been informed of his QBs injury status, especially when its a national news story. Just doesn't pass the smell test for me either. [Title]

Output: I don't think its atypical to


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Wow feels surreal to see this growing so quickly after I helped my buddy proofread this at 9 pm tonight (so any grammatical errors are my fault). I already signed and i encourage others to as well. [Title]

Output: I believe it is Lloyd Carr


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I was there live and while most didn't see the hit live, we did see Morris almost fall over onto Braden on the big screen at which point everyone in my section starting screaming bloody murder to get him out of the game. I and most people in my section were furious live and nothing the coaching staff or AD has said since has abated the anger. [Title]

Output: Disagree


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Body] You should probably check your own math before you try to snark. 42 days is 6 weeks which is November 10. [Title]

Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Body] We've officially become mid 2000s Michigan State now with countdowns to basketball season and a clown show of a football team. But nonetheless can't wait for basketball season myself. [Title]

Output: Jesus


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Do you seriously think Shane Morris should have been the starter? The best argument for starting him (assuming Gardner was healthy) was "change for changes sake" which...is how you get people running 3-3-5s in the middle of the season. [Title]

Output: Do you seriously think Shane


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I have never, never felt this level of rage about anything on the football field. Losing sucks, but I can handle it because it is a part of sports. But this, being sold that the Michgan way means something, integrity means something and then to have our athletic "leaders" act this way is simple infuriating. [Title]

Output: Speechless


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Body] And if Hayes fumbles the ball and Morris tries to dive for the ball and gets blown up again then what? You can't put a player on the field without the possibility of them getting hit. There is no defensible reason for Shane Morris to have been put back in that game. [Title]

Output: And if Hayes fumbles the ball


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 6 days ago [Body] It's always interesting to see how the UFRs, mesh with my feeling during the game. I remember thinking that the offensive line was fine in pass protection, but Gardner screwed that up and that they were a major culprit in the run game. It seems that the RBs might have been more of a problem than I realized. The game as a whole was a needle mover for me and my faith in Hoke, but he has 10 games left in the season. If we get the ship turned around as I hope we do, then I'll be the first to admit I was wrong. If not, well I think the Michigan job is a bit more attractive than you give it credit for Brian. [Title]

Output: It's always interesting to


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Excuse my all caps and rudeness, but blaming Denard Robinson for ANY of Michigan's problems is moronic. Let's play a compare/contrast game. RR w/o Denard starting : 8-16 .333 RR w/ Denard : 7-6 .538 Hoke w/ Denard 16-5 (counting the Nebraska loss) .762 Hoke w/o Denard 11-9 0.550 That is a 20% win increase for each of the two coaches at UM who had access to Denard's talents. Despite all he accomplished, Denard is somehow still criminally underappreciated by the UM fanbase for how much he papered over the incompetence that surrounded him. [Title]

Output: STOP BLAMING DENARD ROBINSON


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I like to think that the fact you referred to Maryland as Rutgers in the Maryland section was a thematic, intentional choice on the ridiculousness of adding them to the Big Ten and not an editing mistake. [Title]

Output: I like to think that the fact


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Ok if Brian ends up being right and this is a top 10 defense andwe have a top 10 passing offense and the running game goes back to mediocre....That's a 10-2/11-1 squad isn't it? Especially with the Big 10 being not great and ND being so hurt by the suspensions. [Title]

Output: Ok if Brian ends up being

Output: FWIW


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Bit of both. IIRC we were playing some higher level Belgium squads (maybe a bit better than the team we played today) whereas this Italian squad is the only actual team that we played on this trip. On the other hand, the talent gap between this year's squad and the 10-11 squad is enormous. [Title]

Output: Bit of both. IIRC we were

Output: I too like to complain about


Input: [Date] 50 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I'm not a hockey season ticket holder either, but it's really not hard to see why ticket holders are upset that they're losing a home game against their biggest rivals for a neutral site game. If this was say against OSU or UW, then I think people might be slightly annoyed, but not nearly as upset. [Title]

Output: I don't know man


Input: [Date] 50 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I wish we just stuck with our original jerseys as we have the best uniform in sports, but as far as UNIFORMZ, those are the best ones yet. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 12 hours ago [Body] Tommy Amaker never accomplished anything close to Hoke's 11-2 season (Winning the NIT is roughly equivalent to that 8-5 2012 team). He also didn't recruit at nearly the level Hoke is AND he was still givien six years. So I don't really see any relevant comparison between the two. [Title]

Output: Tommy Amaker never

Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Body] I think Denard covered up a lot of the holes his senior year, but during his juinor year with Molk anchoring the line, it was very good and produced two 1000 yard rushers. I think finding competent center play will be the key factor to improvement on the line. [Title]

Output: I don't think Caris playing


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] This is football. Especially now that we're in the same division so there isn't even that consideration. The answer would be different if you asked who I'd rather beat in basketball. That being said if we want to ever stop being non-Catholic Notre Dame, we need to start beating both of them on somewhat of a consistent basis. [Title]

Output: OSU


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] Batting average actually doesn't mean that much, OBP is much more revealing stat on what you really need to measure (what is the percent chance that a guy gets on base/HR during any given at bat). RBIs also are more a funciton of opportunity than a particular measure of hitter skills. If you put Miggy on the Astros, he'd probably have less RBIs, even perfroming the same amount. I'm not arguing that hockey stat is valid because baseball is really the only mainly individual sport on offense, whereas hockey is very much a team game. However, you have to fairly represent your opponents arguments (Also Mike Trout is a better baseball player than Miguel Carbrera and if Cabrera played for the Twins or A's, everyone here would recognize that fact). [Title]

Output: Your baseball analogy is flawed.


Input: [Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Body] Also if there is one...Avatar...if you will that could cause it to rain like hell, yours would be the one. [Title]

Output: Also if there is


Input: [Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Body] Or we can talk about how that silly, silly spin move became less and less of his repertoire as the year went on. We can talk about how his pocket manipulation improved leaps and bounds over the year (unfortunately was lost amid the constant pressure and sacks). We can talk about how he had only 3 INTs (every QB has "should have" been interceptions) in Big Ten play despite having absolutely no rushing support. Or maybe the fact that in the biggest game of our year, he gutted out an almost comeback on a broken foot. There is a nonzero chance that Morris passes Gardner before next fall. Absolutely nothing either player has shown indicates this particularly close to being likely. [Title]

Output: Or we can talk about how that


Input: [Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Body] I chose not to buy tickets because I simply don't have $500 to spend on sporting tix (I did buy basketball tickets). Additionally, I wasn't enrolled last year so I didn't have season tickets this year and thus couldn't sit with my friends in the Superfan section. So I'll probably buy tickets to individual games, maybe even most of them, and I'll probably come out spending less than $295 for everything. [Title]

Output: Current Student Here


Input: [Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Body] I think the best part about him as a poster was that he didn't overstay his welcome. He managed to know when the schtick was played out before it became painfully obvious. Simply top notch work. [Title]

Output: I think the best part about


Input: [Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Body] Look if you lose as many guys as the Falcons did you're going to have trouble no matter how much "depth" you have. In addition, some of the good luck the Falcons had in close wins in previous years became bad luck in close losse. You can make an argument that keeping the picks and not drafting Julio would be the better move, but the opposite is not some inane opinion you can deride someone for having. [Title]

Output: Look if you lose as many guys


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Body] After staring back and forth between the picture and my own Braves hat sitting next to me, I believe it's a Braves A not the Alabama A. [Title]

Output: After staring back and forth


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Body] You're right I specifically avoid game threads because they are filled with reactions like that, but I'm more referring to the front page treatement from Brian. I mean even football players that Brian was particularly harsh in criticizing (take Obi Ezeh for example), he didn't skewer like this. [Title]

Output: You're right I specifically


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Body] I'm not a hockey guy, won't pretend to understand it as well as some others, but I find it interesting the general tone towards hockey players seem...harsh compared to other sports. I have a hard time seeing a front page post being as harsh to a football player leaving early, even on a team that underacheived. I'm not saying anyone here is even wrong with what they are saying, just noting it as interesting. [Title]

Output: I'm not a hockey guy, won't


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] I feel fully informed in saying Roddy White is a knuckelhead and whenever I see his name, it usually is followed by me wishing he would shut up. [Title]

Output: As a Falcosn fan


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] I mean they weren't wrong. Texas is extremely young and they should get better as their PG diversifies his offensive game outside of floaters. I thought they were fairly even on praise for both teams even if it seemed like they didn't know Michigan that well (calling the 1-3-1 a matchup, saying "I can see now how this team went 15-3 in its league") [Title]

Output: I mean they weren't wrong.


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] I was in attedance along with half a row worth of Maize Ragers. Lotta fun when the ladies play this well. Crisp offense. I don't know the final stat line, but at one point we had 20 assists on 23 made baskets. I wish I could go to the Monday game, but alas senior year engineering does not let up. [Title]

Output: I was in attedance along with


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] I just hope we get the sloppy out of our system soon. We've just seemed a tad bit out of sorts even during the BTT, but I trust that'll be corrected. As far as the coaching matchup, remember that John Beilein took an 8 seed with one borderline NBA player (D-Mo) and nearly upset a 1-seed in Duke and won the Big Ten with a 6-4 PF. Rick Barnes had a team with Kevin Durant and DJ Augustin and lost by 19 in the second round (admittedly that was stolen from Mark Titus). So I feel fairly confident in the chess match on Saturday. [Title]

Output: I just hope we get the sloppy


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] To be fair, don't you pretty much downvote anything? Whether or not you'd downvote it probably isn't the best measure of if a thread is truly dumb. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] And that wouldn't surprise me at all. I'm not saying I'm particularly confident in it. My general bracket stategy in a large group is to try to exploit the inefficiencies in any given bracket pool. In my case I know that my group really hates OSU, MSU, and have a general lack of respect for Witchita St so I pick those teams to go far. [Title]

Output: And that wouldn't surprise me


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] Hate on me all you want, but I'm in a bracket with all Michigan fans. So I have us losing earlier (to Duke) and MSU and OSU going farther. So if that happens, there's a good chance I'll win money and if not, then I get to laugh at MSU and OSU. Also in general I've been burned by Mtn West teams often enough to always pick them to lose early. [Title]

Output: Hate on me all you want, but


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] I think you should take a good look at the prediction threads in the preseason for football. With one notable exception of 2011 (and I definitely include myself in this as I had us at 9-3 this past year), people here are somewhere between 1-3 games too optimistic on our final record. [Title]

Output: I think you should take a


Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Body] Man I don't know about Wisconsin remaining above us on the S-curve if we do better in the BTT. I think we're dead even right now (their Florida win is a tad inflated as Florida was without the SEC POY in Wilbekin) as their non-con was much more impressive, but our con was much more impressive. I think if it's a BTT final between us, they'll just flip whoever wins the game into the higher spot. [Title]

Output: Man I don't know about


Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Body] Yeah he had our longest run of the season last year. /weeps /watches basketball highlights to feel better [Title]

Output: I believe OSU last year


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Body] Yeah but UNC had to play NCAA games in between those matchups (first two round games in 88 and 89) so it wasn't consecutive. Similarly Temply played 3 games in between 92 and 93 matchups. Kansas would have lost to us last year and then would play the "Wolverines" of Utah Valley immediately in the next game. It's a completely meaningless, arbitrary point, but I thought it was mildly interesting. [Title]

Output: Yeah but UNC had to play NCAA


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Body] Well this list is wrong and has no value because we're #1. [Title]

Output: Well this list is wrong and


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Body] I'll say this about Florida. This year's Senior Class has been to 3 Elite 8's and 3 times has watched another team get to cut down the nets. I don't think you can understate how horrible that must feel and I wouldn't bet against them in a similiar situation. [Title]

Output: I'll say this about Florida.


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Body] A couple thoughts. 1) If that bracket was accurate (spoiler: it won't be), Kansas would probably become the first team to play the Wolverines in consecutive NCAA tourney games. 2)Being in Milwaukee with Wisconsin would suck as we would be playing against the crowd. 3)How does Lunardi determine his autobids? EMU is nowhere near the top seed remaining in the MAC. His system is screwy to say the least. [Title]

Output: A couple thoughts. 1) If


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Body] You can't really say Indiana is only a bad loss for us and not for them. I do think they are ahead of us as of right now, but it wouldn't be hard for me to see us jumping them should we beat them in the BTT. [Title]

Output: You can't really say Indiana


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Body] Listen, I don't know you personally or your cheer record, but if you're like the guy I replied to who stood in line for bleacher seats and went to all the games, then no I don't think anyone would say we're "better" basketball fans than you. If your point is that we think we're better basketball fans than the people who only go to one or two games a year and refuse to stand up in the upper deck, then yeah that is "undeniable" that we think we're better fans I guess. If you want solutions, in addition to the recruitng that always occur, there have been cheer books added to each section to try to get the students on the same page. We've been trying to coordinate with the band about what songs to play and we've been trying to get "section leaders" placed into all the non-bleacher sections to encourage people to cheer and stand up. I won't say that all these ideas have worked, but to act like the core leadership is just trying to maintain a clique and not involve other students is "undeniably" false. [Title]

Output: Listen, I don't know you


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Body] I really don't understand what you're trying to say. [Title]

Output: I really don't understand


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Body] I've been trying to be really civil about all the potshots random people have been lobbing at the Maize Rage, but really you have no clue what you're talking about. If there has been one topic that has been discussed at our meetings to death, it's been how to get more people involved and on the same page. I didn't know being a dedicated fan made you a "groupie" and I still fail to understand how someone spending time on a sports blog has the audacity to attempt to mock someone else for being "too much" of a fan.

Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Body] Two things to explain the difference: 1) This data is conference only, while KenPom includes the entire season in its data set (which it should) 2) I'm fairly certain that KenPom weighs his number against strength of schedule, that is that 1.223 number is what UM would be expected to score against a hypothetical average team, not necessarily UM's season average. [Title]

Output: Two things to explain the


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Body] Not sure I'd consider Creighton the dream matchup. They are literally the only team in the country that I think could beat us at "HORSE" as Brian puts our general strategy. [Title]

Output: Can't really accurately judge


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Body] I don't put a large amount of stock in it. The only problem with not winning it is that we inevitably would have to lose to a team that is fairly beatable (Nebraska, Penn St, Minnesota, etc.) or a team I loathe greatly (Wisconsin, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Wisconsin, IU, or for the sake of argument Wisconsin) which sucks. But I really just want to win one game and escape with no major injuries. [Title]

Output: 22 year old here

Output: RR is the MIchigan version of


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Body] I think the only issue with going to more conference games (from NCAA rules) is that the teams would have to agree to play that many less non-conference games. If the Big Ten wanted to, they could just award their autobid to the regualr season champion and eschew the conference tournament (like the Ivy League does). As far as the game itself, that was just an on night and Illinois has no chance. I feel as if the defense improvement is encouraging and add the Minnesota game as an additional example. We had our usual slow offensive start there, but unlike any of the other games, we didn't give up 3-4 three pointers to put us down double digits. I think playing solid defense in the beginning of games is going to be the key to how far we go in March. [Title]

Output: I think the only issue with

We were tied with Lutheran North and it was the bottom of the 7th bases loaded. I came to the plate, got in my batting stance, cocked the bat on my shoulder and...left it there as the pitcher walked me for a game winning, walk-off walk. Yeah it was all down there from there.

Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] Full Disclosure: Goblue1817 is a really good buddy of mine. I can inform you that he did not actually attend the game, but, like me, is fairly close to the core members who run the Maize Rage so he's aware of what went down. Also this thread has been taking unnecessary potshots at several of our close friends and his snark is himventing his frustration at that I actually disagree with him about adequate communication occurring (which I'll bring up at the meeting tonight). The biggest problem is that the security guards left their post at 6:45 when they were supposed to remain there until 7 so people understood they were not to line up before then. Again I sympathize with those who got stuck in the front fo the first line (my roommates were among those) and I have no real dog in this fight as I had a non season ticket holder student seat up in sec 220. [Title]

Output: Full Disclosure: Goblue1817

Georgia won the 2008 SEC tournament after going into the tournament at 13-16. if you want to know why these tournaments happen...well schmucks like me are willing to pay money to go watch these tournaments so the conference makes a ton of money. [Title]

Output: Yeah. Georgia won the 2008


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] There usually isn't a set time the line starts for weekday games as most kids have classes and the early time seems to set itself out. There used to be no real rule against camping out (OSU two years ago I participated in one and it was great). Then last year OSU, they kicked people out who tried to camp and I think it's been frowned upon since. For weekend games they usually set a time around 5 hours before game time to start the line up. For example, for Wisconsin the line-up was similarly allowed starting at 8 AM and being there before didn't gurantee anything Obviously less people were in the situation fo camping out for that so it didn't become the story this one did. Bottom line is that it sounds like the core leadership needs to do a better jobs not being kinda dickish at 7 in the morning and the AD needs to clarify the rules for everyone vs counting on the Maize Rage leaders to be the bad guys. [Title]

Output: There usually isn't a set


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] Since I've made myself an unofficial "core" representative, I won't stoop to name calling despite it being tempting in this case. All I can say is that someone who spends time on a sports blog to criticize parts of a student section for "circle jerking at student section meetings" rings extremely hollow. . [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] Alright that sounds about right from what I had heard about the situation. I will be bringing up tomorrow that for future marquee games if they want to do this, there need to be multiple emails more explicitly explaining the policy or they need to not do it and let people line up whenever the hell they want. [Title]

Output: Alright that sounds about


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] I'm involved pretty heavily in the Maize Rage though I don't have season tickets (so I didn't come until later and thus missed this situation). I'd encourage anyone who has constructive comments about this situations (i.e what could be done better) to either leave their comment here so I can review and relay that information or come to our weekly meeting tomorrow at 7 PM. From my understanding, the 7 AM time was put into place to avoid having kids camp out. It was supposed to be irrelevant what happened before then because that's when the official line would start, but then people bullrushed early (including my two roommates) and then were told they no longer had a spot. Was this information not sent out in email beforehand? Because if not that was the primary problem and should be rectificed. [Title]

Output: I'm involved pretty heavily


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] I'd think we'd probably be seeded fairly similarly to how we were in 2012 after winning the Big Ten at 13-5 at a 4. We were 24-9 before the tourney that year, this year a 13-5 finish(with say an exit in the BTT semis) would put us at 22-10, but we'd have a much better road performance track record. [Title]

Output: I'd think we'd probably be

Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] Funny I remember the MSU game as Stauskas going off for 19 pts on 7/12 shooting w/ 4 AST to 1 TO with an NBA lottery pick guarding him. If you wanted to argue your point here, that there is a stigma against white North American players, then that would be plausible. Instead you just said he's not really athletic. You could also argue the stigma is more against 4 year guys than white players since regardless of race, those types are generally frowned upon. Bottom line is guys with way more connections seem to think he's a first round pick even after this "slump" which really includes one bad game. [Title]

Output: Funny I remember the MSU game


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] Lol Stauskas's race has literally nothing to do with how good his game is. He's athletic enough to constantly get the "not just a shooter" reference and he's #12 on Goodman's Big Board right now. And if that's where he's projected, he absolutely should go. [Title]

Output: Lol Stauskas's race has


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] Credit where credit is due I do believe we'd be one over the limit if everyone came back. http://www.umhoops.com/recruiting/scholarship-breakdown/ [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] Maybe it'll be good enough to not have people post about it in the middle of a Big Ten run? Seriously, the day after the season ends I'd be all up to discuss this at length, but I think this team is in the middle of such a great run, they deserve to have the focus be completely on them. [Title]

Output: Maybe it'll be good enough to


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] While we were by any metric the weakest of those 3 teams, H2H had nothing to do with it. We split with both OSU and MSU who also split with each other. We also were the #2 seed in the Big Ten Tourney tiebreaker. [Title]

Output: While we were by any metric


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] That is not the way that I have understood it. At UMHoops scholarship by class, he's on the list. Beilein said they'd honor his scholarship, not that they'd give him a spot with the team. I beleieve that he'll have a scholarship for one year and in the most likely scenario where he can't compete at high level basketball anymore, will be given a medical hardship waiver and thus keep his scholarship, but not count against our numbers after that. However, in order to do that he has to count against our scholarship numbers for one year meaning we would be over next year if everyone comes back. [Title]

Output: That is not the way that I


Input: [Date] 1 year 24 weeks ago [Body] Is it our jerseys or is it the fact that we're just not that good at defense? This feels like confirmation bias. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Body] Not inviting the Daily immeidately after they wrote a piece that appears negative about the University seems if not petty and ill-intentioned, then merely unwise. You have to figure that someone in PR knows how that's going to look to outsiders. As far as the process, if the biggest problem is that the Athletic Department is not going to know that their players are under investigation by OSCR, then I'm not sure that's a bad thing. I'd much rather that than the AD acutally know about it in advance. Even if they wouldn't try to infringe on the process, the possibility is one that should be avoided at all costs. [Title]

Output: Not inviting the Daily


Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Body] Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but if you're implying that Stauskas was bad at the pick and roll last year, you're quite mistaken. http://www.umhoops.com/2013/06/26/trey-burke-michigan-and-pick-and-roll-... He actually led the team in pick and roll efficiency last year (well if we exclude McGary's 3 possesions) [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Body] Yeah I suspect that college football as a major money franchise will go away before Title IX does. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Body] Not a proud day for Michigan, either the football program or the University. How the hell did this take so long to process? I read that this was brought up maybe 2-3 years ago. There needs to be some hard introspection and answers for everyone involved from the AD to head of the University. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Body] Haha fair enough. I was just comparing it to the atmosphere two years ago (fortunately I wasn't there last year, but I've heard it was way worse from other Ragers) where we lost count of the number of middle fingers we got thrown up at us including people with their small children. Diffrence was mainly it was only a couple idiots this time versus basically every person we passed by. Another thing that helped was that our bus back to Ann Arbor was just outside the door this year so we just ran there (though we did catch a few snowballs while boarding). A couple years ago it got lost somehow during the game and we were just kinda stranded waiting outside in East Lansing for half an hour which was...not fun. [Title]

Output: Haha fair enough. I was just
