Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Oh my God! You mean a show [Body]

Output: Oh my God! You mean a show with zombies and dragons and other magical shit in a fake world isn't real?!?! Are you sure?!?! If you want to rub my face in how much more sophisticated you are than me, maybe try something other than you know it's not real, right? I am.perfectly aware it's not real, but I happen to think showing a dramatic.killing of a child is a bit much and a creative decision I don't feel like supporting or one that adds much to the show, but certainly adds to the.nihilism criticism that I have been fighting off for a while now. So with all due love and respect, go take a long walk off a short pier.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Title] One in which they chose to do [Body]

Output: One in which they chose to do something awful that I didn't like very much. Wwe're asked to swallow a ton of negative carp to watch it and now, for me, the price is too high for the entertainment value. I first read Game of Thrones in 1997. I have loved the books and the shows for a long time and I just can't do it anymore, maybe my language was a bit much, but I am tired of the most awful thing that can happen being guaranteed to be the thing that will happen.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Title] grrrrr [Body]

Output: Stupid double post


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I am so heartbroken. I Loved [Body]

Output: I am so heartbroken. I Loved this show, but I just cannot watch it anymore. That was a bridge WAY too fucking far! The rape two weeks ago and now this are just too awful, terrible nihilistic character decisions that do nothing artistically. What a disappointment, this makes me question whether I even like the books anymore.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Couldn;t agree more, but [Body]

Output: Couldn;t agree more, but they're obviously seeing something they like and if it starts turning into a train of Chase Thomases and other Stanford headhunters I am all for it.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Title] The race was exciting and [Body]

Output: The race was exciting and I'll never forget how tense I was watching them around the final turn. What a Horse!


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Eh, I think the fault here [Body]

Output: Eh, I think the fault here lies with Fisch, the flyer didn't need to bring up a direct head to head comparison, just sell your qualifications and call it good the comparison will make itself. I like most of what the staff is doing recruiting-wise, but this was a mis-fire.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I'll wait to see this [Body]

Output: I'll wait to see this confirmed, but if true.....Awesome News!


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I REALLY don't get that. If [Body]

Output: I REALLY don't get that. If you want soccer to grow in the US the women's game is just as important as the men's game and frankly, you owe it to these athlete's to not put them in situations where their legs and knees will get torn apart.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Love this news and it's [Body]

Output: Love this news and it's interesting to pull so many guys from Indiana. Glad to see the regional footprint is staying strong. welcome aboard Chris!


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 5 days ago [Title] There is not a single word in [Body]

Output: There is not a single word in the article I didn't love and it's the most throughly articulated takedown of the SEC's opposition to these camps yet.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I thought it was Amanda [Body]

Output: I thought it was Amanda Hugankis. I'm also pretty sure Barney told him it was because his standards were too high. God, I loved those prank calls.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 days ago [Title] There are two things I like [Body]

Output: There are two things I like about this approach: 1. it indicates to kids that the coaches want them to succeed and are willing to help them develop their talents no matter where they ultimately lay. 2. Eventually it's a great way to build up dpth in the program, to take versatile guys and plug them in where they're needed and have guys flexible enough to ask them to fill in elsewhere. The one thing I worry about a little is that this is an approach that would seem to rely on depth already being built up to afford that flexibility and I don't know that the program is there. Regardless it's good to get talented players on board and it's really fun to see the camp circuit already paying off.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] While I don't begrudge anyone [Body]

Output: While I don't begrudge anyone the opportunity to get wined and dined, I'll take this as a "soft" commitment at best and hope the coaches have a plan "B" in place. Onwenu is an exciting prospect and I'd love to have him join the program but I do wonder why you would "commit" anywhere and then go look around if you're not sure. It's not like he was about to lose his spot and there was pressure on him to reserve it.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] I'm an XBox guy, but.... [Body]

Output: Both are great and I don't think there's a huge difference between the two in terms of gaming it may just come down to which one you think more of their friends will be on. Alternatively you can see which one has exclusives that work better with their interests. If they like baseball games, Playstation has the exclusive on the only one worth playing.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 16 hours ago [Title] Not sure if criticism or [Body]

Output: Not sure if criticism or compliment..............


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 16 hours ago [Title] I eventually broke down and [Body]

Output: I eventually broke down and bought the prima game guide, felt a little bit like cheating but it helped me a LOT, especially with the tough parts like obtaining your first silver sword. Once you get used to how everything works it gets a lot better, but the menu functions and the maps are ridiculously poorly oranized. They really fixed a lot of these issues in Witcher 3, which is good as Witcher 2 took some time to get into due to those issues you describe.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] While I don't think you'll [Body]

Output: While I don't think you'll lose out on anything by waiting(I can't wait for Arkham Knight either), The Witcher 3 is incredible and well worth playing. The story is compelling, combat is just challenging enough, and there's an insane amount of content. I can't recommend it highly enough and it's a definite imporvement on The Witcher 2(which was good, but nothing like this).


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Jourdan Lewis is probably [Body]

Output: Jourdan Lewis is probably going to answer that call and I have a good feeling about RJS getting turned loose as a rush backer.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Fantastic News! Welcome [Body]

Output: Fantastic News! Welcome aboard Michael!!!


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Title] What a performance, one more [Body]

Output: What a performance, one more to go but no matter what it is an awesome ride! Way to go Ladies!!!


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I was NOT expecting that. [Body]

Output: I was NOT expecting that.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I get it, but... [Body]

Output: 1) Already established through several storylines, but given a good close-up in the Arya storyline, especially when she gets kidnapped by Gregor. In this case I don't think it added anything. 2) Established through Cersei's chapters and could have been given more weight in the Jaime storyline as well(although that too is a lot of pointless wandering, somewhat forgiven only because he's funny). I'll admit 3 is interesting, but am not sure we needed however many pages of Brienne's storyline to establish it. Look, I love the books, the characters are compelling and the world is vast and rich and very well-designed and I don't begrudge anyone their enjoyment of the storylines I thought were eye-rolling wastes of time. That said, one of the things I loved about the show this year was it's ability to act like an editor and cut through Martin's severe writer's block. There's a lot to like about books four and five, but I feel that they are weakened by his letting the scope of the story get out of control. Given that there's only two seasons left after this giving any weight to storylines that have little impact on the main plot compared to their screentime seems like they're going creatively backwards and would be a disappointment.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Title] This team is great and those [Body]

Output: This team is great and those ladies are kick-ass! Good Luck!


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Fantastic job by this team [Body]

Output: Fantastic job by this team and hopefully a sign of big things to come.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Nooooo!!!!!! The fact they [Body]

Output: Nooooo!!!!!! The fact they blew past the iron islands and Brienne's pointless wandering bullshit was one of my favorite things about the show this season and moving forward. They only have two more seasons please tell me they won't fuck around with that crap. I love Martin's writing, but there was a lot the TV show can still make right. I really don't want them to make the same mistakes.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Yes, the sword being Valyrian [Body]

Output: Yes, the sword being Valyrian steel is why it worked.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Fantastic episode and the [Body]

Output: Fantastic episode and the ending was an all-timer.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I think the issue is that [Body]

Output: I think the issue is that it's hard to hang your hat on any of the under 26 guys as a building block. The V-Mart, Miggy, and Verlander deals are going to be millstones soon if they area already. There is just a lot that has to be done and hopefully they can build up another good core and then supplement. I think the Tigers have shown they can be a power and won't be down for long, but we're probably in for a couple of rough years.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Title] It's a crappy comment to [Body]

Output: It's a crappy comment to leave in a posbang thread is all.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Oh god that was ridiculous. [Body]

Output: Oh god that was ridiculous. I don't think it was five straight though, maybe five total INT's starting with Vincent Smiths one in the shadow of the goal-line.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Or both his parents can push [Body]

Output: Or both his parents can push so hard that it makes him double down on Michigan. If nothing else, he'll be forced to think about and defend his position and I have a feeling it will still play out well for the good guys. We've seen the opposite where parents push hard for M and the guy still goes where he wants to go. Might as well have this play out Michigan's way for once.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I don't think it will, I [Body]

Output: I don't think it will, I think from the show runners perspective he's too good of a villain to lose until the big bads get in the frame. It's too bad though as most viewers have lost pati nice with him in a major way. It's not like he's a love to hate villain the way Roose might be, he's just an unpl wasn't watch.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 3 days ago [Title] This is great team to watch, [Body]

Output: This is great team to watch, talented and dangerous through the roster. I wish them luck, but am glad I got to watch them get this far! Good Luck ladies and CRUSH it!


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 5 days ago [Title] That is amazing. Wonder if [Body]

Output: That is amazing. Wonder if the underhand delivery helps at all? Regardless it's impressive as hell.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I know when I was [Body]

Output: I know when I was playing(high school, nothing impressive), I hated trap plays because it forced a read and then a quick change to take on the blocker vs. My preferred "fly through the line and cause havoc" approach(As I was an undersized d-lineman). I agree they're a very effective counter/constraint type play and look forward to seeing them deployed effectively.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Oy! Hopefully this is a [Body]

Output: Oy! Hopefully this is a Florida St. type situation in which the bones of the program are good and a new coach can get it going again relatively quickly. Still it's a bad sign when the guys who are suppossed to be next years building blocks are going for the escape hatches as quickly as possible.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I don't even know how to [Body]

Output: I don't even know how to respond to this. I imagine even the West point cadets are laughing about this one.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 6 days ago [Title] In the first case of Ohio St. [Body]

Output: In the first case of Ohio St. Turnover luck applies. IIRC there were several promising drives that ended due to either turnovers or an inability to kick a field goal that basically made fourth downs mandatory. In the case of Miss. St. the team was done, I remember the ball moving pretty well in the first half until the defenses inability to do anything of consequence led to what was basically, "Here we go again" and the team went into a shell. According to stats the offense was pretty great that year, but it did seem to fizzle against any half decent opponent and the inability to really hold onto the ball kept getting the all-time worst defense exposed. It's not really cherry-picking vs. perhaps an insufficient acknowledgment of how bad the team was.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 16 hours ago [Title] Maybe this is the time to [Body]

Output: Maybe this is the time to make the youth movement take over in earnest and bring up a coach who can grow with the Tatar's and Glende int's of the world.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 1 day ago [Title] You can't be a Michigan fan [Body]

Output: You can't be a Michigan fan and a Bob Seger hater. Sorry, I don't make the rules.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 1 day ago [Title] UCLA fan, so not even a little bit. [Body]

Output: Arizona is basically the Michigan St. of the PAC-12 with obnoxious fans with major chips on their shoulders and a terrible stadium and home atmosphere. Rodriguez is a good coach who will do very well there and while I like Rodriguez, I really want 'Zona to be no better than perenially 6-6 to 8-4(and thats only because of Rodriguez).


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I came to Michigan for my MBA [Body]

Output: I came to Michigan for my MBA and have always been a huge sports fan so it was pretty natural for me to add following Michigan to my repertoire. I also decided to live here after completing my MBA and thus am always surrounded by it. Just happened a bit by accident and osmosis, but now even if I move I will still be a die-hard and will ensure the kids keep singing, "The Victors".


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 2 days ago [Title] It absolutely was part of the [Body]

Output: It absolutely was part of the overall story of Ramsay's wedding night with continued proof of his being a psychotic bastard. Did it happen to Samsa in the books, no but it did happen to someone else. So it was part of the story.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 2 days ago [Title] This is exactly my point. [Body]

Output: This is exactly my point. Martin BADLY needed an editor for books four and five and I feel like the show is performing that function, if not especially elegantly. If it pisses him off, GREAT! Maybe that'll get him to to listen to criticism instead of deciding it's all fluff trying to get him to write faster.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I have read it once....and [Body]

Output: I have read it once....and was mad that I did, the scene was arguably worse in the books. Martin had built a compelling world and characters but he is clearly working out some issues as he totally dwells on scenes like this. The takeover of the shield islands being another example of his penchant for going too far with this stuff.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Just have the brotherhood [Body]

Output: Just have the brotherhood without banners do the plot line without Lady Stoneheart it won't change much as long as Thoros is around.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I think they have to deviate [Body]

Output: I think they have to deviate from the books in order to ensure they can keep the attention of the TV audience and keep the story moving. The last two books are just complete and total messes in terms of the scope of the story and narrative progress and if there's some narrative discipline being applied to the TV series it's all to the better.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Agree, we all know Ramsay is [Body]

Output: Agree, we all know Ramsay is an asshole and what happened on the wedding night can be discussed later or aluded to,


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Yeah, I pretty much hated it, [Body]

Output: Yeah, I pretty much hated it, I mean I know it's part of the story, but by this point we all get that certain people are just shit and it can be implied instead of shown.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Agreed Auburn is a decent [Body]

Output: Agreed Auburn is a decent school and a good academic choice for an undergrad degree.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Ummmm...... well up until [Body]

Output: Ummmm...... well up until that I had been joking............. Yikes!


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I doubt devastatingly [Body]

Output: I doubt devastatingly effective and beloved by supporters really matches Cutler's profile.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Just remember, Pictures or it [Body]

Output: Just remember, Pictures or it never happened.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I hope there's a path for him [Body]

Output: I hope there's a path for him to come back and get a degree, it's hard to be told that you're not a part of the future on a team, in a job, etc. I have a ton of sympathy for h and hope it all ends up working out.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Agreed, but most in the [Body]

Output: Agreed, but most in the military know that most of that is window dressing. If you're connected or a "performer" a DUI is kep quiet if it's at all possible. Then the others get crucified when they get caught, so appearrances can be maintained. Minick may have thought he was going to be fine as he was connected and knew nothing was ever really going to happen to him. I would also argue that the message gets repeated so many times that eventually people tune it out.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I can get behind the license [Body]

Output: I can get behind the license suspensiuon over it, but attaching any legal prosecution issues to it is MAJORLY problematic constitutionally. Revoking a privilege is fine(if not my favorite thing either, as someone may just be cantankerous or doesn't want an arguably inaccurate test to determine his or her fate and losing a privilege for a year for that seems.....excessive), but the criminal penalties associated with DUI are (rightly) so severe that assigning them simply based on a refusal to take a test just cannot be justified, with or without the fifth amemdment. As always I ask, what if it was you in this situation, what sort of legal protection would you want?


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Military has a big-time alcohol culture [Body]

Output: I say this as an Air Force vet, the military culture is defined by two things in relation to alcohol: 1. Alcohol is often an integral part of group events and is used quite often(which I don't necessarily have a big problem with as god knows I participated in that quite willingly and had a lot of good times through it), it does lead to an issue where you don't know if you have friends or drinking buddies. 2. If you get a DUI in the military, it will either get swept under the rug or get you crucified depending on how connected you are. If you're a "performer" or buddies with the commanders you're typically fine. If you're not in those groups your career is over. This may have led Minick to assume the same rules apply on the outside and so he may have honestly been surprised to see this become a thing.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Sometimes you just need to admit you're losing [Body]

Output: I get taking contrary opinions and most of the ones you have on here aren't terrible surface-level observations, but you seem to be getting torn apart on counter-arguments and your need to respond to each one isn't a good look. Every once in a while you may just want to let it rest.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Refusing a breathalyzer likely means guilt [Body]

Output: Anyone with half a brain knows to refuse the breathalyzer if pulled over for DUI. If anything that makes me think he's even more likely to be guilty. I get the impulse to wait until the facts come out, but I'm not sure it's going to help anything.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] There's no way this isn't a [Body]

Output: There's no way this isn't a big deal for the guy who is suppossed to be in charge of discipline for the program. I'd expect there to be a "mutual resignation" before everything plays out. You just can't have this sort of thing happen and let it slide for the person in charge of discipline. A coach may get away with it, but not the Director of operations.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] What a shame, but understandable [Body]

Output: Glad he graduated and will take the opportunity to expand his horizons if that's what he feels is the best thing for him. Best of luck to him wherever he goes.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Only commenting to say I hope [Body]

Output: Only commenting to say I hope you get nuked to Bolivia for this. Norfleet was a badly needed blast of personality for the program and was entertaining, I know I'll miss him.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Damn! Always hoped he would [Body]

Output: Damn! Always hoped he would breakout. This is a real shame.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 2 days ago [Title] It makes some sense, but I [Body]

Output: It makes some sense, but I wonder if they're bypassing the tyroshi hair dyed boy which seems like a pretty major point.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Given the TV series will [Body]

Output: Given the TV series will actually end and the book series likely will not, I'll go with the TV series. I appreciate the ride George R.R. Martin has taken me on and the first three books were sublime but it's getting harder to have faith he'll overcome his writers block.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Niks defensive weaknesses [Body]

Output: Niks defensive weaknesses were constantly mentioned, but he was a sublime offensive player that Caris has not yet become. Don't think that's entirely fair.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I would love to go back to [Body]

Output: I would love to go back to teaching pilot training in the Air Force Reserve, but that's out for a variety of reasons. The other one would be starting a small flying school out in Colorado/Wyoming. Now to just convince my wife that we can live in a small town and just above the poverty line so I can chase my dream of living with almost no responsibility!


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Title] There's continuing to pursue [Body]

Output: There's continuing to pursue someone heavily when you think you have a chance and then there's continued checking in as a courtesy when you get the sense they're not interested. I think this is the latter. I actually don't mind it as it is all about how you use your recruiting resources. If there's bad vibes from Corpey then put the press on someone else who may be more receptive. Given how Michigan will still be playing from behind with a lot of these guys, it's probably the best way to go.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It's time for Harbaugh to [Body]

Output: It's time for Harbaugh to start winning again so he can put a stop to this crap. I'm glad he made a decision that works for him, but this train of kids from Michigam to OSU is not a good thing in any way shape or form.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Title] That!........Was really [Body]

Output: That!........Was really funny.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Yeah, given all that Cal has [Body]

Output: Yeah, given all that Cal has going for it, I'm not going to start assuming shenanigan's. Just doesn't seem likely.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I mean, I want to laugh, but [Body]

Output: I mean, I want to laugh, but that looks really painful.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Rare sure, outdated..... [Body]

Output: Rare sure, outdated..... Doubtful. Point taken on chemical engineering being a broader way to accomplish the same goal. I wonder if this is just a graceful way to eliminate OSU when he's an Ohio native.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 16 hours ago [Title] It has always been like that. [Body]

Output: It has always been like that. Not sure it says some horrible thing about society. It's much easier to talk about trivial things after all.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Title] So far I really like what [Body]

Output: So far I really like what they're doing. There is just a ton of fat in books four and five that they're either doing away with altogether or combining from multiple storylines. The bones are still in place, but it feels like this is what Martin would have written if he had an editor who would have been willing to challenge him over the past couple of years. Frankly, so far I like this version better.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Vague speculation on where [Body]

Output: Vague speculation on where the show might go based on book info below: I have a feeling D+D are cutting through the famed "Meerenese Knot" with an axe and not playing the little game Martin did in the books by drawing out an insanely boring and overwrought timeline. Therefore as important Selmy is to the events in Mereen, if they decide to not even have events in Mereen he may become far less important.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm pretty sure I know the [Body]

Output: I'm pretty sure I know the one you're talking about and while that would be cool, I'm not sure I buy it. There's a lot to support it, but there's a lot that would be inconsistent with how the world has been set up. That said, it would be REALLY cool if true and would give a way to answer a lot of questions.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I actually think the show [Body]

Output: I actually think the show runners are having similar thoughts. Books 4+5 are just not as good as the first three and the story is BLOATED. I am fully on board with them tightening the story up and moving it along. As they're not dealing with a combo platter of writers block and telling editors to go to hell.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 4 days ago [Title] You know it's bad when even [Body]

Output: You know it's bad when even the team's social media accounts are basically.....who the hell is this guy?


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Double post [Title]

Output: If anyone researched


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 5 days ago [Body] If anyone researched Harbaugh's recruiting at Standford, you would see nothing has.really changed but school colors. The guy recruits above average athletes that can compete and multiple positions and sorts in out on the field. Having already done the research, I asked the guy I know within the AD, how Jim will react to the boobirds in the offseason if he continued on with that recruiting philosophy here considering 80 percent of the fanbase would rather with the signing day title than a National Title. He laughed, and said Jim likes who he likes, recruiting rankings be damned. You may as well get used to it. He marches to his own beat. [Title]

Output: If anyone researched


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Body] The King coaches are very pro MSU though. They are the leaders of the Harbaugh/Michigan doesn't care about Detroit battle cry currently going around the high school coaching circles. It won't take much for that staff to have their own interpretation of what happened with Dennis. [Title]

Output: The King coaches are very pro


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Sam said Jaylen would gradually cut the list down until he hot to two and then announce. He knows way too much about this recruitment for it not to go out way, right? Right?! [Title]

Output: Sam said Jaylen would


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 2 days ago [Body] You don't think his friend Tyrone Wheatley will ever share anything with him? Mattison gives him stuff too. [Title]

Output: You don't think his friend


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 3 days ago [Body] How was Webb able to do it? [Title]

Output: How was Webb able to do it?


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Body] 247 is awful [Title]

Output: 247 is awful


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Poor Sam. He is the best Michigan insider by far, he says that UM has a legit shot at Brown. They may even be in a top 2 situation and Ace refuses to believe there is a chance. [Title]

Output: Poor Sam. He is the best


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Body] It is pretty funny to read through this thread and realize that 70 percent of the Michigan fan base is dumb about basketball. [Title]

Output: It is pretty funny to read


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Mario's injury is serious. [Title]

Output: Mario's injury is serious.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 4 days ago [Body] How many different boards do you offer this ignorant hot take about Chatman on? [Title]

Output: How many different boards do


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Yeah, that was real funny. [Title]

Output: Yeah, that was real funny.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Sure it does. Any college athlete that is giving serious consideration to Harvard places some sort of premium on academics. The longer a diehard fan of any school goes without pledging the better. Look at how many "diehard" Michigan fans are playing football for someone else. [Title]

Output: Sure it does. Any college


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Body] This has been in the works for awhile. I was told his mom landed a job at the University. She at least has been applying. [Title]

Output: This has been in the works

Output: Yet Brian subscribes to them?


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Scout is having a flash sale for 30ish markets. I am not sure why the Michigan site would need such a thing as they have the 2nd most subscriptions on their network. North Carolina has the most shockingly enough. Perhaps Fox/Scout are offering that deal to their most popular sites hoping to catch more of the fringe fans after the sale is done. [Title]

Output: Scout is having a flash sale


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 1 hour ago [Body] They have been vetting some grad transfer options on the holes they have on D since they have gotten in the full swing of things. They have 1 strong possibility, perhaps 2. [Title]

Output: They have been vetting some


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Have YOU seen him play? I have. I actually played D1 basketball so I do have an eye for what it takes to play at that level. He is not out of place at all. He is an elite spot up shooter. Shoots well off 2 or 2 dribbles. Pretty good passer. He is skilled. [Title]

Output: Have YOU seen him play? I


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 1 day ago [Body] The doubters on Duncan will be creating the same threads now that they are about MAAR and Dawkins when 90% of this board was like wtf Beilein when he took them. I watched him play an open gym a few times with the guys. He is one of the better players on the roster offensively speaking. He is a terrible defender quite frankly, but the kid is dang near automatic when you give him a clean look. Deibler is the perfect comp. Weak defender, iffy handle, EXCELLENT spot up shooter, and pretty dang good pulling up off 1 or 2 dribbles. Bilas and Shulman were raving about the kid when they were in town. [Title]

Output: The doubters on Duncan will


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Yes he is [Title]

Output: Yes he is


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 3 days ago [Body] You are out of your mind. You are not a wet blanket, you are drunk or not that bright. [Title]

Input: [Date] 26 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I am looking for the Maize and Blue shoes that Beilein had on during Gameday. I have been looking for them in a size 12 since I saw them on Wheatley in a photo at Cass Tech. [Title]

Output: I am looking for the Maize


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Body] It is so dumb and shortsighted to think that just because he played LB that is all that he will ever be able to competently coach. I could list dozens of former players that coach a different position than they played. Hell, Roy was a successful RB coach before Michigan hired him on. [Title]

Output: It is so dumb and


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 22 hours ago [Body] Who knows with a new AD? He may have a different take on the no MSU night game stuff. [Title]

Output: Who knows with a new AD? He


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Sam posted on GBW that he was in town the same day he posted that Durkin and Drevno showed up. When was that? Like Saturday night? Safe bet he is on staff. [Title]

Output: Sam posted on GBW that he was


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Sam posted on GBW a couple of days ago that this guy was in town. [Title]

Output: Sam posted on GBW a couple of


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] It did? Please explain what [Body]

Output: It did? Please explain what point I missed. Brand recognition matters to an extent. Winning and player development matter more. The end. Harvard has great brand recognition. That data point means next to nothing without a competent football team to go along with it. But MSU is doing pretty well for themselves on the recruiting trail as of late even without a $100 million deal from Nike.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Or we could just win football [Body]

Output: Or we could just win football games? That would probably be helpful.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Porchetta on the pellet smoker [Body]

Output: Not the authentic Italian version with a suckling pig but I'll wrap a center cut pork loing in a huge piece of pork belly and roast on the smoker for 3 hours or so. I am a huge fan of the RecTec it allows me to not be attached to monitoring my fire for 6-12 hours when bbq'ing.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Oh, and run Bayshore in [Body]

Output: Oh, and run Bayshore in Traverse City in the spring if the oppurtunity comes up. That is a PR course and small scale marathon put on at a very high level.,


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Title] We've only ever stayed at the [Body]

Output: We've only ever stayed at the RenCen, it is close and reasonable if you book through the detroit marathon link. The course is really nice, although most will tell you the back half is a little boring (it is) and sparsely populated by fans (true as well). Mostly flat course although the bridge will take its toll later in the race if you don't check your pace. You will have evil thoughts towards Belle isle forever - bridge incline mile 19 going on and 23 going off and will run into a head wind the entire time. I've run 5 differennt courses and Detroit on 4 occasions, I think it's a fairly hard course. Running my first Boston in 2 weeks so I'm interested to see how it stacks up in comparison. I was almost stopped heading into Canada by border police because my bib was concealed. I carry my enhanced ID for piece of mind by it probably isn't necessary although if you are stopped you are screwed. I've never seen anyone get stopped unless their bib is covered. Ambassodor bridge sunrise and coming out of the tunnel into America is unlike anything I've experienced in a race and for the cost I recommend.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 3 days ago [Title] One of those future pros was [Body]

Output: One of those future pros was Griese, he started around 100 games if memory serves me right. Not saying he was a pro bowler but still it takes a little talent to accomplish that.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I have no love for Izzo, but [Body]

Output: I have no love for Izzo, but it sounds like he considers pre-college activity to be the source of the problem. I don't necessarily agree with his assessment but I don't think he is taking any sort of shot at Michigan. I'm also not sure how the question was asked but the part about Lavert probably get's the lead because he was a more significan player then Bess. He says identical things about both guys so he is either taking shots at himself and our coach or just commenting on the issue with no agenda what-so-ever. I'm not sure stress factures, tendonitis, or other over-use injuries are more common now but I think he has a point about taking time away to rest the body. Most of these injuries start as something the guys can play through so they do that and the cumulative effect sidelines them eventually.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 1 day ago [Title] John Clayton already gave it [Body]

Output: John Clayton already gave it to you. He couldn't get an offer out of another NFL team because they all recognize his terrible personality will tear apart any organization he touches. So going back to college was his only option, you see? He literally begged Michigan to hire him.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 3 days ago [Title] They basically made a front [Body]

Output: They basically made a front page story out of Schefter's tweet. I really can't remember if there ever was any integrity or investigative skill at ESPN back in the day, but now it is nothing more then sensationalized re-hashing of sporting events and news. They have nothing to offer when it comes to actual news stories and their "reporters" are ill equipped and trained to handle breaking news - they just don't have any practice at it. Didn't basically the same thing happen with Mantei Teo? Didn't ESPN refuse to report and acknowledge sources outside of their own? I get needing to verify sources and not just recycling the reporting of others if you can't independently verify - but the bigger problem seems that they aren't getting any information of their own. Well except for Wiley and they seem to be ignoring him.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I thought that too but [Body]

Output: I thought that too but "staffers" could be any of 100 employees. Could be the water boy or it could be their anonymous league source. Or it is made up bullshit - I could go either way.


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 5 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 day 2 hours ago [Title] Question? [Body]

Output: What was the question? ...I can't watch from work.


Input: [Date] 1 day 14 hours ago [Title] You can get it in the airport [Body]

Output: You can get it in the airport now too... Just had some last week!


Input: [Date] 1 day 21 hours ago [Title] RE: Hill [Body]

Output: Am I correct in understanding that once a prospect has committed, no more Crystal Balls may be placed for that school? ...So for Hill, people can only pick a school other than PSU (such as Michigan.) No one can jump on the PSU bandwagon, but throwing a UofM pick in there might earn them a few points, if he flips, right? Not that this means the M picks are meaningless, but I think the trend might hold more weight with the uncommitted prospects rather than the committed ones. Do I have the proper understanding here?


Input: [Date] 2 days 17 hours ago [Title] Feed the troll. [Body]

Output: Sorry. I forgot. Why play the games when you can just average the recruiting rankings of the players and get your answer ahead of time? I'd hate to think we have a staff that could identify and develop talent. Who was it who said "Jim Harbaugh: College Football's biggest winner"?


Input: [Date] 2 days 17 hours ago [Title] Plan A [Body]

Output: How about Plan A options... as in Already committed: Sean McKeon


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 24 min ago [Title] His choice, or the coaching [Body]

Output: His choice, or the coaching staff's?


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Title] B1G? [Body]

Output: I'll hazard a guess: We're not in football season, so room for more wide-ranging posts. A potential starter for an in-division competitor has left the team. I can't say I'll revisit the thread again, but did find it interesting. It's at least more relevant to Michigan football than Clint Dempsey tearing up a pad of paper.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Davis effect? [Body]

Output: I wonder how much of a factor, if any, Kingston Davis might have been in this offer. I am in no way suggesting that Joshnson is not worthy of an offer on his own merits, but having both teammates committed (along with Washington already on campus) will only help our attempts to keep Davis in the fold as he fields more serious interest from many of the top SEC programs. Clearly the coaches would not have offered Johnson if they did not feel he was qualified, but maybe the teammate factor weighed in a bit?


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Agreed [Body]

Output: Depth is much greater on the D-line, which is also accustomed to platooning. O-line lacks the depth, and guys were not playing with the folks they usually would. To me the spring game only confirmed that we have much more depth in run defense than o-line, but not much more.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 3 days ago [Title] You missed it... [Body]

Output: ...His uniform changed.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Depth Chart Spacing [Body]

Output: Not redshirting Malzone would also provide a bit of space on the depth chart between Malzone and Gentry, though who knows if Gentry would stay around if there is a player just one year ahead of him who is at/near the top of the depth chart.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Or [Body]

Output: ...Or Rudock makes a leap with improved coaching and improves from servicable to very good. Either Rucock or any other QB functioning as a better QB this year than Rudock was over the last two is fine by me!


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 2 days ago [Title] 1 year [Body]

Output: Malzone, Gentry, Speight, and Morris will all have 1 year in the system. At this point it, unfortunately, seems unclear if Speight and Morris' previos time in the previous system was helpful. I expect a transfer before the 2016 season, but it could just as easily be O'Korn if he arrives this year and then realizes that any number of QBs already on the roster are in front of him going into the 2016 campaign.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Transfers [Body]

Output: I agree with the depth thought as well... Assuming no one transfers out before the season starts.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Turned stones. [Body]

Output: Has anything been published to indicate that he has any interst in Michigan, or vice versa?


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I believe so [Body]

Output: IIRC, Harbaugh did not contact DeWeaver at all, and Drevno let him know they would be recruiting other QBs in the class.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 4 days ago [Title] . [Body]

Output: Buckle Up


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 4 days ago [Title] A few thoughts... [Body]

Output: I'd go with ZIngerman's Deli over the Roadhouse, but that's just my preference. May add Pizza House to the list, depending on what you're looking for. Angelo's or the Broken Egg for breakfast.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Atomic Bunting [Body]

Output: If we're up big in the 4th at home, Bunting will be put in for punt returns so that he can do his own special dance to Atomic Dog.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Floor too [Body]

Output: Not that I am not excited for the real upside, but I'm happy to think how much higher the floor is as well!


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] Not true? [Body]

Output: I believe that I just read somewhere that there is no "conditional" release from an LOI. It's either in force, or it is not.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Seriously? [Body]

Output: I have a crazy idea... How about having the coaching staff spend more than one month getting to know the recruits before they have to commit?


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: Unless we start changing coaches every year, this will likely help notably more than it hurts. To answer your question, yes, I still want it... particularly as we have our (hopefully long-term) coach already on board.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] Certainly if Harbaugh [Body]

Output: Certainly if Harbaugh continues to bring in two QBs per year, we'll be seeing many moving out over time.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 23 hours ago [Title] Trying to make up for the [Body]

Output: Trying to make up for the derth of good NM high school football coverage.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Positive spin? [Body]

Output: I am going to tell myself that this is because the coaches feel good about Weber and started slow-playing Booker, even if it is just because this makes me feel happier going into the weekend.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Good strategy. [Body]

Output: Good strategy.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Rick [Body]

Output: Roll. Not appreciated.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Agreed. [Body]

Output: I wasn't adding that ingo to refute what you said, just adding a bit of info that the previous post might have been referencing. Without an offer, I'd call it evaluating more than recruiting as well.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 2 days ago [Title] No offer, I believe, but [Body]

Output: Markel Bush visited January 23rd. My quick googling showed no ratings on the major services, but I could have missed one.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Michigan should aim to be the [Body]

Output: Michigan should aim to be the best public school in the nation. I think UVA and UCLA have passed us in recent rankings and we've dropped to page 2 on USNews (which like it or not holds clout over hs seniors). Over 6,000 students is HUGE; it was a record 5,000 when I enrolled a decade ago and the dorms were crowded. President Schlissel, cut class sizes and return Michigan to its rightful perch as the best public Ivy in the nation.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 1 day ago [Title] the technology on this site [Body]

Output: the technology on this site is almost unbearable, at least we finally got the hd iphone app to use


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I love 2 halves in college [Body]

Output: I love 2 halves in college bb, the first sets up the tempo and game strategy for the second, and they both feel relevant. 4 quarters reminds me of boring NBA games where there's almost no reason to watch the first half


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Would rather we spent more [Body]

Output: Would rather we spent more supporting the current teams and bring home more NC's


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Brandon Minor. Without [Body]

Output: Brandon Minor. Without injuries and a burned redshirt, he probably would've put up an insane season opposite Denard.

Output: is the Joe always this dead?


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 12 hours ago [Title] 6 is the perfect number. It [Body]

Output: 6 is the perfect number. It rewards the top two teams and excludes 2 loss teams. The NFL playoffs area so much better with 6 on each side than 8 like the NBA

Output: chipotle mayo


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 1 day ago [Title] What ever happened to parity [Body]

Output: What ever happened to parity in college sports? The same group of teams win the actual championship every year in college football and basketball.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Why so much hate for [Body]

Output: Why so much hate for Wisconsin? They are not a traditional power and are succeeding without one-and-dones. Seems like a team to root for if there ever was one.

Output: Scaling with traffic is a solved problem as of 10 years ago -- that this site actually "upgrades" capacity instead of using an auto-scaled service like Amazon Web Services or Heroku is pretty unbelievable.

Output: I'm using MGoBlog HD, not sure why anyone would still be using the old app.

Output: Same. TomVH's stuff at ESPN has really sucked, even when he was only covering Michigan


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] BYU is a school with enough [Body]

Output: BYU is a school with enough national cache that they have their own television channel and deal with ESPN. BYU is a school which has a huge fan base, whether they're good or not. TV market share is not just for local markets, or else Nebraska wouldn't have been added.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] there is nobody left but BYU. [Body]

Output: there is nobody left but BYU. the big xii was too stupid and waited on Pitt and Louisville to their detriment


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 4 days ago [Title] ............. [Body]


Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: The author of this article


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: They offered Pallante a full


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] That makes more sense. From the OP I thought you were looking into buying gold as an "investment". [Title]

Output: That makes more sense. From


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] I don't know how you can claim it stays pretty stable when it lost around 30 percent of its value in 2013. [Title]

Output: I don't know how you can


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] Why would you buy gold? [Title]

Output: Why would you buy gold?


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] Surely what you mean is that you don't have any memories of buying a drink at Ricks until after you graduated? [Title]

Output: Surely what you mean is that


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: I disagree with the "major


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: Which RB coaches would have


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] He must not be a big Under Armour fan. [Title]

Output: He must not be a big Under


Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Body] 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)? [Title]

Output: It is also important to have


Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: We didn't have relatively

Output: The 2011 team ran the ball


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: How is there a lack of demand


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] 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 [Title]

Output: It's supposed to be amateur


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: He could still get a pay


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

Output: Doesn't the BWW pick before


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: What are you talking about?


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: Amazon's CyberMonday site is


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] 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? [Title]

Output: Most of those guys appeared


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

Output: So we can lose the extra


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Body] Yeah they don't usually lose to less talented ND, Nebraska, Iowa, etc. teams almost every year. God bless you man, hmmmmmmmmm, [Title]

Output: Yeah they don't usually lose


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: It is one thing if talented

Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: They both had *a freshman


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: Young OL can contribute.


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Not always, but usually in sports when a coaching change happens the new coach coming in is dramatically different in X's and O's or personality. Outgoing coach: defensive mind...bring in an offensive guy Outgoing coach: players coach...bring in more of a disciplinarian Replace the previous coaches weaknesses with someone new who thrives in that area. Rich Rod struggled with the programs voice and connected the current team with the past players and fanbase. His defenses were also bad. Bring in Hoke who was a change in those two key areas. Not always the case, but it does happen frequently [Title]

Output: Not always, but usually in


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Not sure why Nussmeier would agree to stay so that he could share the OC duties. Will find his own job where its his and only his. [Title]

Output: Not sure why Nussmeier would


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 3 days ago [Body] A new HC from the outside rarely keeps coordinators. Position coaches yes. The chance of Mattison or Nussmeier sticking around is slim. Nussmeier has a higher chance I guess. [Title]

Output: A new HC from the outside


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I would think highly unlikely that Seely or Roman follow. Both have interests in interviewing for NFL HC positions. Fangio, I'm not as sure about. As far as affording them- Michigan can, it just depends if they will. [Title]

Output: I would think highly unlikely


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Two scenarios that I think seem possible, not saying they will- 1>Nussmeier gets promoted. 2>Mark Stoops takes the job and hires an OC with full control to implement and direct the offensive side (Stitt???) [Title]

Output: Two scenarios that I think


Input: [Date] 1 year 11 weeks ago [Body] "Dog" in his game reminds me of the description for Carlton Brundige. That didn't work out that well. I hope Davis has more to his game. [Title]

Output: "Dog" in his game reminds me


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Body] Real excited to see him after an off season in the weight program. He looks like he will split between the 3/4 spot. Love the length. [Title]

Output: Real excited to see him after


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] In reading the article, OT Ian Silberman will be a graduate thus making him a college free agent who is able to be eligible upon arrival. He is not likely to leave the south, but our depth chart has to at least look interesting to him. [Title]

Output: In reading the article, OT

Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Body] That does sound pretty BA. How many people were you cooking for? [Title]

Output: That does sound pretty BA.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Body] Tommorow morning: fire up the new smoker and toss in a 6 lbs brisket. Beers until the meat is done. Corn and homemade slaw to go along with it. [Title]

Output: Tommorow morning: fire up

Output: Has anyone seen video of


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Body] I would be fine with O'Connor. I like soome of the things he does and could see him being developed down the road. But I actually like Austin Appleby more. Watch his film and he makes throws to every part of the field. He hits sideline routs at 15-20 yards from the pocket. Drops the ball into the seams and does a good job with crossing routes. Some fans think that Gunner Kiel is getting ready to announce. I would be curious to see what would happen with Shane Morris if Kiel were to verbal. I don't expect it, but would Morris stay commited? [Title]

Output: I would be fine with


Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Body] Is Standifer going to be our first non Michigan/Ohio commit? Paired with T. Richardson of course. [Title]

Output: Is Standifer going to be our


Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Body] I am curious what people's thoughts are on comparing Dunn with other high school backs? As a NE ohio guy I think Chris Wells. I see some simalarities, but I think Wells was quicker in and out of his cuts. Dunn's running style, while upright at times, is impressive. They both have good straight line speed and the ability to punish defensive backs. Dunn's competition is much stronger. He is a gifted young man and I hope he has a good visit this weekend and gets any answers to his questions he may have. Second question, can anyone remember the last time Michigan got a verbal commit to switch from columbus? I don't know the answer, but I love the possibility. [Title]

Output: I am curious what people's

Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] 1979 vs Indiana [Body]

Output: Wangler to Carter on the last play of the game for the win! I was 11 years old and one of my older brothers was at UM. It turned out to be the only college game I attended with my dad as he died in the spring of 1980 at age 48.


Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Title] An Irish guy [Body]

Output: walks OUT of a bar..... Hey it could happen!


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

Output: I have noticed all year with many teams that when they send someone in motion or have players shifting they don't seem to get set for a full second. In fact in watching these bowl games it seems there have been times two players have been in motion at the same time at the time of the snap. I was just having this conversation during monday's games.


Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Yep, because [Body]

Output: Beamer runs a fake punt so often it has become predicable. Everyone knew that was coming. I know there are always a number of plays you can point at in a close game - the reviewed catch obviously - but that fake punt was really a key play.


Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Jake Ryan. He really impressed me. [Body]

Output: I haven't seen his stat line but it seemed like he was always around the ball. He caught the VT back from behind after a long gain with good hussle and the diving sack was great.


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Title] ND Fans! [Body]

Output: Too funny. Every time they lose a game they pretend they are only allowed to recruit Irish Catholic valedictorians. Also, it's been my experience that Catholic girls remove their panties at roughly the same rate as the rest of the population.


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Title] PSU out of B1G - [Body]

Output: replaced with ND.


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Sugar Bowl Uniforms? [Body]

Output: That would make sense. Oregon did it yesterday.


Input: [Date] 3 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Well a Lions SB [Body]

Output: is the only championship I haven't seen. I always tell my wife that I will stop watching sports when it happens because my sports world will be complete. (I may have to change that to - I can now die happy.) I've seen the Tigers, Red Wings and Pistons win championships. I've seen Michigan win it all in football, basketball and hockey.


Input: [Date] 3 years 31 weeks ago [Title] But it really depends [Body]

Output: on the program/field of study. MSU would be an excellent choice for elementary and secondary education for example.


Input: [Date] 3 years 31 weeks ago [Title] I would have to root [Body]

Output: for my kid if she was playing a sport against M. However, my daughter is not an athlete and is looking at the always lucrative (heavy sarcasm) Musical Theatre programs. She's only a Soph in HS so is still early in the process but is considering Michigan, WMU and Elon. She really wanted Northwestern and while she's at the top of her class - took the SAT in 7th grade and so on - she's won't get into NU.


Input: [Date] 3 years 32 weeks ago [Title] Tough to argue with [Body]

Output: your list - other than a few spots up or down. So would #1 play #16 and #2 play # 15 and so on? Using your rankings M would get Okie State! Yikes!


Input: [Date] 3 years 32 weeks ago [Title] I guess I'm "old school". [Body]

Output: I don't boo our opponents and don't allow my daughter to do so. They are just college kids.


Input: [Date] 3 years 33 weeks ago [Title] No that would be [Body]

Output: Steph infection. Totally different.


Input: [Date] 3 years 33 weeks ago [Title] Here it is - mark it down. [Body]

Output: Early L's to Bama and ND will have some panicked and jumping off the bandwagon. They will rebound to win the B1G - beating Sparty by at least 3 TD's, beating Ohio by 3 in C-bus and by 10 in the B1G Championship. They will also win the Rose Bowl. Final record 11-3. 2015 They will beat RR - Arizona in the Rose Bowl.


Input: [Date] 3 years 33 weeks ago [Title] Auto bid? [Body]

Output: Is the auto bid really a big deal anymore? Now that we have a separate championship game rather than it alternating amongst the bowls - the BCS games seem to have lost some of their prestige. This year's Cotton Bowl is a better game/matchup than the Orange. The Cap One and Outback look to be as good. These teams will never be ranked #1 or #2 so they won't be playing for the MNC.


Input: [Date] 3 years 33 weeks ago [Title] Voting to end democracy? [Body]

Output: That's like fighting for peace or F-ing for virginity.


Input: [Date] 3 years 33 weeks ago [Title] Honey Badger don't care? [Body]

Output: You just got the bones in your back leg snapped like twigs! I bet you care now!


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Cold game in the 90's? [Body]

Output: I'm surprised there isn't a game in the 90's in the coldest list. I was at a 28-0 win and it felt very very cold.


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] 16 years already! [Body]

Output: That one was very memorable for me as well because I watched it in a hospital room with my new baby girl. She and my wife both slept through most of it and I cheered really loud - inside my head. Tomorrow that baby girl turns sweet 16! Hard to believe. She's a fantastic kid and big M fan. (Her only flaw is that she wants to go to Northwestern.)


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Title] No repeat of the '10 game. [Body]

Output: At least we won't be subjected to both teams going 60+ points in triple OT. Wind or no wind -rain or no rain - I feel good about this game. The illini look like they are regressing. This would be a decent road win and give us 8 wins with two game remaining. With a new caching staff and a (sort of) new system - I'll take that. In fact I would be pretty happy and excited with that.


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Title] I guess that would depend [Body]

Output: on the motive for the murder. Even then if it was a random murder of someone he didn't know we would think it strange - but this is just sick.


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Title] I would think [Body]

Output: a trial would answer a lot of these questions. Sandusky's testimony may shed light on the actions of some of the others.


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Exactly right. [Body]

Output: We are to believe that Joe didn't know? We are to believe all the circumstances of his retirement? Doesn't pass the smell test. Look at Sandusky's retirement banquet. JoPa shows up only in time to give a very uninspired speech and immediately leaves. Also we are to believe that when McQuery tells JoPa of the incident in 2002 he doesn't tell him details AND Paterno doesn't ask for clarification? Even if you are able to buy all that he still should have gone to the police and followed up with the AD. Then the grand jury report says victim 1 was brought to PSU facilities and even team practices in 2007. So what's the story there? They only told him not to take boys into the showers other parts of the athletic complex are fine? JoPa didn't know Sandusky was at practices with young boys? None of this really passes the smell test.


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Title] That's the key. [Body]

Output: 2002 wasn't the first time this had come up with Sandusky. In fact there were some accusations before 1998. The '98 incident actually sparked and investigation and there is a police report. From the outside it looks like they let Sandusky retire with a "farewell tour" year in 1999 with knowledge of that incident/accusation. And what about JoPa? Are we to believe that he didn't know of any of the previous accusations or the investigation about his DC?


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] 1998 -1999 [Body]

Output: After reading this I had to wonder what that 1998 investigation and report revealed. What did JoPa know at that time? Did they let him serve one more year - taking his victory lap in 1999? JoPa should be fired tomorrow.


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] PSU. [Body]

Output: I also loved my visits to PSU. Great fans and great school with a rich football tradition. None of that matters. The fact that they basically covered this up and didn't make sure this was reported to police is horrible. This is similar to the Catholic Church cover ups.


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] PSU fans. [Body]

Output: PSU fans/alums should boycott the games. Stay home and see how the message of an almost empty stadium plays. Seriously Joe Pa should be gone now - this week.


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] They have obviously [Body]

Output: made a point with him to continue to for the pass rather than run when nothing is open. You gotta let Denard be Denard. He could have scored there before half instead of trying to make a tough throw.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Too soon? [Body]

Output: Too soon?


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I worry that Brandon will [Body]

Output: I worry that Brandon will fire Hoke in-season to save his own job.


Input: [Date] 1 year 49 weeks ago [Title] Have any oline coaches or [Body]

Output: Have any oline coaches or defensive coaches noticed that Glasgow tips when he is pulling?


Input: [Date] 1 year 51 weeks ago [Title] I bet there will be a [Body]

Output: I bet there will be a regional broadcast. It looks like WTEV will have it. I'm sure there will be a stream of it one way or another, plus an NFLN replay.


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Repost [Body]

Output: Probably shouldn't post this again after our own Yakkety Sax-esque performance two weeks ago, but those jerseys...yikes.


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Title] posted from iPhone [Body]

Output: Bet we'll get Arizona.


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I think you could apply all [Body]

Output: I think you could apply all of the same logic of past trends and records, recruting, ppg averages and so on to Hoke before he was hired. Oh...wait...I think someone did do that...And yet; 40-34, 10-2, potential BCS bowl, outside shot at number 1 recruiting class, etc. What statistical analysis would have predicted this before Hoke was hired? Meyer can coach. He's won everywhere he's been. TSIO will spare no expense to support him. It's gonna be fun. Two coaches with an intense understanding of the rivalry will hopefully restore it to the competitve balance of it's glory years. Or at the very worse a 1990's redux. (And I'm not against statistical analysis in general, I just don't think that parsing numbers looking to allay fears of a number one rival hiring a great coach is the best use of it.)


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I know that he is a popular [Body]

Output: I know that he is a popular target here, but I'll give him credit for coming out and making a genuine and sincere statement almost immediately after he lost his job. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3GDCo2BWAnU Illinois is handling this coaching transition better then Akron did with Rob Ianello.


Input: [Date] 3 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Ben Braden [Body]

Output: Braden did not play this week, as he was recovering from the effects of a concussion from week one.


Input: [Date] 3 years 49 weeks ago [Title] Brand [Body]

Output: The word "brand" is used 13 times in that article.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] His weight and conditioning [Body]

Output: His weight and conditioning coach at Rockford is former UM player Brent Cummings.


Input: [Date] 4 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Awesome [Body]

Output: I'll tell you, Rockford's coach is a MASSIVE UM guy. He's coached at their camps for years, and was/is very close to Lloyd and heavily influenced by Bo. I'm more excited for him that he has one of his players commit than I am for Blue to get their first player for 2012. Great news all around. I hope Ben has a great career!


Input: [Date] 4 years 46 weeks ago [Title] Your link and your avatar [Body]

Output: Your link and your avatar make for an interesting juxtaposition.


Input: [Date] 4 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Piped-in music? [Body]

Output: I think it was during the second quarter that they showed portions of Brock's walk, and then interviewed him on the sideline. The ABC coverage didn't start until 3:30, and I think the team was on the field at that point. During the latter stages of the game I realized that I hadn't noticed any piped-in music. Your mention of a Journey song was the first evidence that there was any. How was the mic-ed band? Was there a drop in piped-in music?


Input: [Date] 4 years 47 weeks ago [Title] I'm going to guess Adobe [Body]

Output: I'm going to guess Adobe Premiere (or whatever the current Adobe video editor is called) since the Adobe Universal Header is present as the players are massing early on in the clip.


Input: [Date] 4 years 47 weeks ago [Title] (No subject) [Body]

Output: I totally agree. This was my favorite of all of the hype videos that were produced this summer. Fantastic track, great editing. Really sums up the past few years nicely, and hopefully points to what the future looks like. GO BLUE


Input: [Date] 4 years 47 weeks ago [Title] I'd just like to nominate [Body]

Output: Sorry, submitted a link that was previously posted as a url.


Input: [Date] 4 years 48 weeks ago [Title] I think the mistake was for [Body]

Output: I think the mistake was for him to "assume that the guys behind them would have been at that level." Seems pretty straightforward.


Input: [Date] 4 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Strange [Body]

Output: Earlier in the clip it's like watching an alternate reality Barry where he briefly displays emotion after scoring a touchdown.


Input: [Date] 4 years 50 weeks ago [Title] Spot The Ball [Body]

Output: I remember after he was hired a WVU offensive playbook made the rounds. "Spot the Ball" was terminology for the offense to line up ready to play at the spot of the ball and start of the 25 second clock. If I recall correctly, "Spot the Ball" was one of the phrases that went up in the weight room back when the upgrades came together in early '08.


Input: [Date] 5 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Getzlaf, Rosby, Yzerman et all... [Body]

Output: Getzlaf is that douchey guy at the bar who thinks he is the shit cause he is making seven figures, even though he is balding with faux-Ohno facial pubes. His post-NHL role on Jersey Shore is calling. That he is going bald is scientific evidence of karma if ever there was any. Rosby is Rosby. Versus and NBC pull out their kneepads early and have their storyline for the next six months; it's Rosby's world, we just live in it. Yzerman FTG. Can't argue with that. Sacrifices taste to assemble a gold medal winning team. Super hard to root for the Western Conference A-Hole All-Stars, but at least he got it done for his county. Bad news is that now he'll probably leave the Wings to take a GM position with another team this summer.


Input: [Date] 5 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Opinion from the Planetary Society [Body]

Output: I don't know what the reputation of the Planetary Society is around here, but they are very enthusiastic about today's announcement. http://www.planetary.org/about/press/releases/2010/0201_Planetary_Societ... (Carl Sagan was one of the founding members of the Planetary Society, FWIW.)


Input: [Date] 5 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Ernie [Body]

Output: When I was in middle school, my family would leave early for spring break to go stay in Lakeland for spring training. We stayed at the same hotel as the Tigers and everything. I have distinct memories of Willie Hernandez wearing a three piece suit to breakfast at the hotel restaurant, Cecil Fielder and his Nissan Pathfinder, and seeing Mike Henneman just about everywhere. My brother and I were total autograph hounds, and we'd arrive early to meet the players and get signatures on cards and balls. It felt like Ernie was just about everywhere. Always super gracious with his time and talking to everyone who was around. I remember him spending a lot of time talking with my mom and dad, while my brother and I chased Tigers with Sharpie's, cards, and baseballs. He chatted with everyone who was there, and I couldn't imagine how many people he spoke to during the course of spring training. I had one ball in particular that was riddled with signatures. Mostly it was covered with second and third tier players, but here and there you could find Trammell or Sparky written in there. Forget about Cecil. He was impossible to get, although my 5-year old sister somehow managed to get a 5-year old Prince Fielder autograph. But right in the sweet spot was Ernie. While he signed he asked us how school was going, where in Michigan we were from, what positions we played, and so on. Even as a snot nosed middle school puke, I could appreciate what a great guy he was. "Michigan's Grandpa," indeed! This was about the time of "Bo Don't Know Ernie." (I still have that bumper sticker packed away somewhere.) Bo was also everywhere around Lakeland, more often than not, sitting in the stands with the fans at Joker Marchant Stadium. I remember that conventional wisdom around West Michigan was that Bo had lost it. Here he'd just fired Ernie, and there was a lot of chatter before his retirement that he needed to go so that UM could compete for more national championships under Mo. There was a LOT of that chatter after Mo coached them to a bowl victory in '88. I remember my dad nudging me in Bo's direction and telling me to go ask him for an autograph. Heck, I was TERRIFIED of Bo. I'd seen enough games to know his demeanor. Plus, he reminded me of my grandpa, and I didn't like badgering him with requests, either. Eventually I summed up the courage to go ask him to sign my baseball, and he did, right in the sweet spot. He didn't bark or growl at me, and instead gave me that look that my own grandpa gave me which was somehow reassuring and slightly unnerving all at once. In the three years that our family went down there, and with all of the signatures on that ball, somehow the second sweet spot had never been signed. Not until Bo put his pen there that humid night. To make a long story longer, I have a baseball signed by both Bo and Ernie, in opposite sweet spots, from the height of "Bo Don't Know Ernie" era. Later that summer we flew to Boston to watch the Tigers at Fenway and to tool around Boston for a weekend. Through a complete accident, we ended up at the same hotel as the Tigers. We didn't realize it until we walked into the lobby and heard, "I haven't seen you guys since Lakeland! Glad you could make it out here for a game!" It was Ernie.


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 5 days ago [Body] This is a great story, and kudos to Hoke and Denard. But to your point, if the wins/losses trend (statistic) persists, the future BJ Youngs will be wearing green and white asking for Leveon Bell autographs. [Title]

Output: This is a great story, and


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 12 hours ago [Body] This is false, my uniqname was 8 characters during my time from 2005-2010. I vaguely remember a limit, but it was certainly more than 7 characters. [Title]

Output: This is false, my uniqname


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Body] May I also add, why do non-revenue athletes deserve such lavish facilities and special treatment (on top of free tuition) that the other 98% of students at the University don't receive? Plenty of students participate in extra-curricular activities that don't produce revenue for the school. [Title]

Output: May I also add, why do


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Body] You do realize that non-revenue athletes receive this level of support due to the price gouging tactics of Dave Brandon? When the future donors dry up due to his mismanagement of the customer relationship with students, alumni, and fans, watch the world class support of non-revenue sports dry up. They won't be able to afford it. [Title]

Output: You do realize that


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Body] I'm sorry, but you are either extremely naive or insane if you think you can find 5 tickets for less than $200 to the biggest game of the year. The issue with Crisler is that there is an extremely limited number of seats (around 13k) relative to the demand to attend this game. That means scalped tickets, whether StubHub or outside Crisler will stay inflated. Besides, the empty seats you saw during the UM v. Purdue game (the home one that took place several weeks ago) were likely in the student overflow sections. Meaning those tickets were sold and the ticket holders did not show up. It's not like there are blocks of unsold tickets out there, especially this year. If you really want to go, pony up the cash on StubHub. If you want to be cheap, no shame in staying home and watching on CBS. Besides, it probably wouldn't be wise to bring small children to a game that will have such a rowdy and intense atmosphere. Break them in with a Northwestern or non-conference game. [Title]

Output: You Are Insane


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] I have no insight on where Weishar is leaning, or if Michigan would need him in the 2014 class. However, I went to school with Weishar's cousin (a Michigan graduate). I know that he has been in this kid's ear for years about Michigan and they visited Ann Arbor together this past fall. Take that for what it's worth, but I wouldn't think that he is an ND lean as suggested above. [Title]

Output: Weishar


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Body] You know your social life is pathetic when you go on MGoBlog to brag about getting a girls number after seeing Les Mis (with your dad). Seriously, don't you have a friend you could call. You sound like a 15 year old going on his first ever date. (FYI, I don't have a problem with the thread. I just think your "Cool Stroy Bro" comments about meeting girls at the movie reflect poorly on you. Please make some real friends.) [Title]

Output: Beyond Pathetic


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] More likely comes from having an unreliable walk-on kicker who burned them early in the season. [Title]

Output: Probably Not


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] WMU had 4 wins on the season, not 3. Perhaps just the UMass - WMU result was wrong or maybe there are other games with the wrong result. [Title]

Output: Also


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] Not sure where you're getting your data, but Western Michigan defeated UMass (in a blowout actually, 52-14). Might want to double check some of the results in your data set in order to get a more accurate metric. [Title]

Output: Data Issue?


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] Yes, Champions for Charity makes a very small profit. However, you do not have visibility as to what makes up the operating costs that take up at a minimum $25 of a $32-36 entry fee. Salaries for CFC employees are likely built into that cost considering their business model Perhaps our AD believes that he can use existing resources (people already on salary, stadium resources, etc.) so that the margin funneled to charities will be much larger. [Title]

Output: I understand the math


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] It sounded like Brandon's decision to cancel the race had more to do with Champions for Charity's "for-profit" status than anything else. However, I would not be surprised if his comments today about hosting their own race were damage control due to backlash yesterday. I had read on a separate annarbor.com article that CFC takes approximately $25-30 of the $36 entry fee for costs and profits, while the remainder is funneled to the charities. I'm sure Brandon, as egotistical as he is, believe Michigan could manage the race and donate a higher percentage to charities. Anyways, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. For what it's worth, the CFC representative claimed that they offered to let the Michigan AD manage the race. [Title]

Output: Read Brandon's Comments
