Input: [Date] 38 weeks 2 days ago [Title] This is a very good point, [Body]

Output: This is a very good point, but I think it also gets at the basis of the problem here. The Athletic Department did Yeoman service for the Mealer family, which is fine, and if that's why Elliot Mealer feels obliged to carry their water, that's understandable. Butr it misses ehy this whole "muggle"/"civilian" issue matters. There shouldn't BE a bunker mentality about this. The Athletic Department shouldn't be seen is seperate from the fans/alumni/students, because it all falls under the same institution. All these groups are extensions of the same entity, which is the University of Michigan. The relationship is meant to be symbiotic: without the fans there can be no team, and no AD to take care of them. If you start to see teh fans relationship to the team as parasitic, and seperate from what the AD does, you're not seeing the forest for the eco-system. I mean, if you want to see the players, the fans and the AD as soldiers, civilians and state department fine, but in that metaphor, we're still one nation. Can you imagine the metaphor if soldiers started to see themselves as so removed from civilian affairs that they constituted a different species? Chilling.

Input: [Date] 40 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Negatory, sir. Pitt's OLine [Body]

Output: Negatory, sir. Pitt's OLine was also stripped of talent and experience when Chryst took over, and its last two recruiting classes were decimated by no less than three coaching changes. Chryst essentially inherited a program on the brink and cobbled together some success. I wrote a longer post about this further below.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Some Context on Chryst [Body]

Output: I talked about Todd Graham to add a "boots on the ground" context, so I might as well chime in on the subject of Chryst. While Chryst hasn't had a lot of success at Pitt on paper, there are some things that should be noted. First, most importantly, don't underestimate what a trainwreck Pitt was when he took the helm. The Panthers managed to burn through three head coaches in two years, not counting interim head coaches, complete with two scandals. Two successive recruiting classes fell apart, and they went from pro to spread to pro in three successive seasons. They had much the same problems with youth and depth on their lines, and an underwhelming picture at QB. Chryst exacerbated this by running a clean ship and getting rid of problematic student athletes, like 5* Rushel Shell, further limiting his talent pool. Chryst is a first time HC, and the warts are there. Particularly, his cloack management has been poor, and some rushed decisions at critical times are noted; that could be the result of inexperience, but it alsio seems to be a running theme with pro-style coaches. That said, Chryst has shown some real upside, and I've often used it to highlight Hoke's flaws. He recruits well, he's been getting some big name kids to stay home, and whateeeever else you want to say, Chryst can identify and develop talent. He saw Tyler Boyd, whose third to choice after Pitt and WVU was Michigan State pretty much by default, and saw talent; Michigan can't offer everyone, obviously, but Pitt fans were aware of what a talent this kid was supposed to be and what a big target he was for them, and he wasn't on Michigan's radar. Sure enough, he'll probably be in the pros after next year. More notable, I think, is James Connor. Connor was a non-descript, 3* DE in his last year of HS. He committed to Pitt, and suddenly it was declared they wanted him to be a running back. Pitt fans shrugged. Yet Connor became, from his first year, a better RB than Michigan has had since Mike Hart, and with an equally talent and experience-denuded OL. I look at him with some whimsy as he does all the things I know RBs are supposed to do, like break tackles, burst through holes and drag piles, make yards after contact. Michigan wouldn't have recruited Connor anyway, because the kid had grade problems in HS, but that's not really the issue. Chryst looked at a no-name DE and saw potential, and then quickly realized that potential into performance, which are skills Hoke has lacked. He can develop QB talent too, for what it's worth. He got Savage drafted, and that was not seen as a likely feat when he took over. People in Pittsburgh see his work with Savage as a continuation of what he did with Russell Wilson. Boyd, Savage and Connor are anecodtal examples, I know, but I hold them out as examples of what Chryst does right. He took a program that was worse off than I think anyone unfamiliar with the program realizes, and has largely stabalized it. I tend to think given two more years the Panthers will be doing well enough that Chryst will be a much hotter commodity, which is, all-in-all, not a bad trajectory for a first HC job. At Michigan? Well, he's obviously a gamble, but I think there are riskier gambles out there that are being talked about. I think more highly of the job he's done at Pitt in three years than the job Hoke has done here in four, especially given the disparity of experience, resources and prestige.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] I don't disagree in any [Body]

Output: I don't disagree in any particular. I think, though, that the difference between Graham and the other coaches you listed is slightly more than an issue of bad etiquette in the manner of his departure. That is to say, nobody blames a coach for moving up the ladder as a buisness decision (or at least, not too loud or for too long). I think the difference is, it's expected a coach on the rise leaves the program in better condition than when he inherited it. Most of the coaches you listed remained for multiple years, or in Brian Kelly's case, which is illuminating, for three, which is ample time to make your bones and to improve the school's situation for the next guy. The difference between one year and three can be dramatic, but I'm not trying to make that case, per se. Obviously Rice was better off, in a sense, than when he first came there. Pitt, on the other hand, actually suffered from his year-long tenure. And that, I think, is more the issue. I think I made the comparison to Chryst, somewhere in all this, who had the opportunity to leave and did not. At a minimu, whether it was the focus of his decision or not, he had to be aware that if HE left after a year, he would be the fourth Panthers coach to depart (willingly or not) in a three year span, and a program already on the brink would probably have collapsed in a fairly definitive manner. I think the fact that he remained reflects well on him, and he has done a great deal to restore the Panthers roster and on-the-field product to, if not exactly the heights of football, then at least out of the gutter.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] I believe he was at Tulsa [Body]

Output: I believe he was at Tulsa longer, but he was certainly one-and-done at Rice and Pitt. His departure from Pitt was used against him in recruiting with some success at ASU, at least initially, although I assume his extending tenure and winning ways will have silenced most of that. Of course, the more he moves around, the more some of that negativity will resurface.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] I wouldn't contest that, but [Body]

Output: I wouldn't contest that, but as a counter argument, it is believed (at least by the locals) that Paul Chryst received inquiries about the Wisconsin job after his first year and had the opportunity to take it. With that in mind, Pitt fans were resigned, and couldn't really fault him (being a Madison local/lifer). The story has it he stayed because he understood Pitt would completely unravel if he lleft, and he felt an obligation to build up the program before he moved on and upwards. Not groundbreaking stuff, again, just context. I do think most coaches feel an obligation to stay in a program for longer than a year. I don't even think Graham was much of a cultural fit, so perhaps it was for the best. I would draw a distinction between Hoke taking a job he was clear from the onset that he always wanted and would take and Graham, though, largely for the other, oh, we'll call them flourishes.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] I'll add this too, but just [Body]

Output: I'll add this too, but just for context: he did face some of the same problems Rich Rod did trying to take the Panthers from a pro team to a spread team, including the tempo-fatigue we became familiar with. The pro-style linemen he inherited would wear down under the fast tempo, and their play would unravel in the latter stages of the game. Much the same with the defense, if the the offense couldn't remain on the field. Naturally, that's a self-correcting problem over time: the players become more accustomed to the tempo as time goes by, especially as new recruits selected for the system come up. It didn't make for a pretty sight over the course of one season, though, especially given how it ended.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] He's a Texas native, who [Body]

Output: He's a Texas native, who seems most at home coaching and recruiting in that region, so you may be right. On the other hand, never underestimate a freebooting mentality. He might come to Michigan if the price is right, and to climb the ladder of school prestige. In that regard, though, he would be a flight risk as soon as a better, or perhaps even equitable, job opened down south.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] I was in Pittsburgh the year [Body]

Output: I was in Pittsburgh the year Todd Graham (now known in the Steel City as "Fraud Graham") coached the Panthers and fled. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to reject the guy without delving into stereotypes of accent and religion. It wasn't just that he pulled a one-and-done in Pittsburgh, he lied to everyone, including administrators, players and recruits, along the way, and wrapped it up by leaving the AD standing on his doorstep when rumors made their way into the news and questions required answers. Then he texted the team a quicck goodbye on his way to Arizona. Once at ASU, he gave what was essentially the same speech he gave when he got to Pittsburgh, a great to do about the school being a dream job, integrity, yadda yadda. Maybe not as well known in Michigan, but go to a Pitt fansite and ask them their opinions about Graham. I guarantee you, faith and folksy mannerisms will not be in the top ten list of negative things you hear.

Output: Being a true freshman QB is a lot less of aproblem when you are A.) An elite talent, B.) throwing to an elite WR, and C.) Facing a team with no pass rush. Right now that's check, check and check. Which in not to say that we WILL need him at PSU, but on the road, in a very hostile environment, we may. But your statement was broader than that, and if you don't think we'll need him against MSU, or maybe even to generate some pass rush against pass-happy Indiana, I don't know what to say.


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] That's, like, your opinion, [Body]

Output: That's, like, your opinion, man.


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] It's purely anecdotal, so [Body]

Output: It's purely anecdotal, so take it for what it's worth, but in a similar situation I've seen a similar move produce positive results. In Wannestedt's last year, the O-Line was thin, the center an undersized JUCO. The Panther's got off to a woeful start, couldn't move the ball against lowly New Hampshire, got trampled and embarassed on national TV by Miami. They reshufled the O-Line and had a substantial increase in tehri play. They wound up with a respectable(ish) 8-5 record, which they likely would not have had if they stuck to the original configuration for consistency sake. As I said, it's anecdotal, but it impressed upon me that O-Line, like everything else, must be subject to change, and that change may potentially yield positive results.


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] Welcome to the family. You [Body]

Output: Welcome to the family. You will not regret your choice.


Input: [Date] 2 years 1 week ago [Title] It's actually a surprisingly [Body]

Output: It's actually a surprisingly well written story. Now, the key is it may not be a very entertaining story. But the underlying metaphor is very well crafted. In an age of movies without any form of plot or structure, I appreciate the competence of the storytelling as much as the homesickness inducing tour of A2.


Input: [Date] 2 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Surely you can't be serious? [Body]

Output: Surely you can't be serious?


Input: [Date] 2 years 3 weeks ago [Title] That's what I figure. Depth [Body]

Output: That's what I figure. Depth chart going forward has to look mighty appetizing to players who want playing time, on top of the usual assets PSU has. Silver linings. I'd also say, it's reasonably encouraging to see so many NJ and MD athletes scatering across the Big Ten. To the degree that we expanded to improve our footprint in recruiting areas, that seems to be paying off some returns.


Input: [Date] 2 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Also forgot G: "Bunk" [Body]

Output: Also forgot G: "Bunk" Westmoreland: Built low to the ground, good with leverage. His motto is "to protect and serve" his QB. Possible drinking problem.


Input: [Date] 2 years 3 weeks ago [Title] I've always thought of [Body]

Output: I've always thought of Barksdale as a Pro-style QB: real gunslinger, prefers to stay in pocket. But I hear he might have a real challenge this season holding of unheralded recruit, Marlow Stanfield.


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Please believe me when I tell [Body]

Output: Please believe me when I tell you, just because an academic institution is accredited, that doesn't make it a fully functional academic institution. LOTS of schools in LOTS of fields have been accredited contrary to the common good of all mankind.


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] You know, to the downvoters: [Body]

Output: You know, to the downvoters: that was a legitimate comment. If his offer holds true, with Watson's committment, this could be his last chance to commit, if he's worried about another DB taking his place. So...in the same manner as O-Linemen dropping earlier than they expected because their potential places started filling up: maybe it's Westphal.


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Maybe Westphal? [Body]

Output: Maybe Westphal?


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] It is indeed great to be a [Body]

Output: It is indeed great to be a Michigan Wolverine.


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Spurs. Liked them since David [Body]

Output: Spurs. Liked them since David Robinson. And they're not the Pistons.


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Oregon and Nike have had a [Body]

Output: Oregon and Nike have had a quid-pro-quo relationship for years. Orgegon gets all the trashy uniforms they want, and Nike gets a professional football team.


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Is that....is the bear?...is [Body]

Output: Is that....is the bear?...is the guy?...seems like more of a game warden thing, to me...


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Well then I hope you have a [Body]

Output: Well then I hope you have a flexible definition of "soon."


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Grimm committed to Pitt about [Body]

Output: Grimm committed to Pitt about aweek ago.


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Largely well said. This is [Body]

Output: Largely well said. This is essentially the same schedule that got us to the Sugar Bowl, but with what seems to be a more talented team. To me, 8-4 would be a pretty substantial let down. I would imagine we split the ND and OSU games, and likely a split on the MSU and Northwestern road games. The possibility of a loss to one of Nebraska or Penn State is real enough as well. But generally, I think the firepower is there to win 9 or 10 games, barring unforseen exigency.


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] WOOOOOOO! [Body]

Output: WOOOOOOO!


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] You snooze, you lose Runyan! [Body]

Output: You snooze, you lose Runyan!


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Title] It's not really fair to cast [Body]

Output: It's not really fair to cast it as "underperforming." He's only going to be a true sophmore, and the common assumption going in was that he would need a redshirt year to work on technique, if not size (which as it turned out, he needed as well). I think the fact that you hear so much about Bolden and Ross is because of their talent (especially with Ross) and depth issues.


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Title] I think we could well use [Body]

Output: I think we could well use another WILL. Some think Gedeon will wind up at MIKE, which, if true, doesn't really leave that much behind Ross, who may well be a three year man based on his potential. RJS is his backup now, and Gedeon could be a WILL, but if you remove Gedeon it gets thin fast.


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Title] We're also keeping a close [Body]

Output: We're also keeping a close eye on Dru Tranquill, for what it's worth. Hasn't been offered yet, but has exploded in camps and may well get one.


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Title] I truly am weary beyond [Body]

Output: I truly am weary beyond imagining of the "They Have Hotter Women" meme that seems to come up whenever we're talking about schools from the SEC. Honestly, I suppose now that Mizzou is part of the SEC, their women have been promoted to goddess status as well. In my years at Michigan, I never once thought to myself "Why, why oh Lord, why did I go to a school populated by a race of savage turtle-women?" You know what I remember? Attractive women. And I wasn't even a football star. Then someone will bring up parkas, as if UofM girls walk around completely obscured like Kenny from South Park; as if they wore parkas in class and in the bedroom; as if it doesn't get cold in Lexington KY (it does). Honestly. Women don't become more attractive because they live south of the Mason Dixon Line.


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Title] I don't mind that the players [Body]

Output: I don't mind that the players are, in essence, not Scott and Westphal...I refuse to second guess the coaches on talent. The nature of the school worries me more than a little...normally I assume the coaches would be on top o ofttha sort of thing, but IO have no idea how it works when the offer comes abruptly at camp like this.


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Well, that sounds unsavory... [Body]

Output: Well, that sounds unsavory...


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Justim HILard yesterday, 2014 [Body]

Output: Justim HILard yesterday, 2014 WR Freddy Canteen today, along with a CB teammate of Canteen (also today).


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Oh, no doubt! (Actually- a [Body]

Output: Oh, no doubt! (Actually- a fop. Dandyism was a later fashion wave created by Beau Brummel which was meant to get the effeminiate nature of fop-ism at a distance that men could still be fashionable). BUT- either way, I wouldn't care how much many pinches snuff my QB wanted to snort, how perfumed his handkerchief was, or how high pitched his laugh is....if he could summarily murder a guy with a few whispy waves of his sword. At least, I wouldn't laugh too loud.


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Title] To be fair, that guy was [Body]

Output: To be fair, that guy was pretty lethal. That was the point. He was a "crouching tiger hidden badass" trope.


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Uhhhh.uhhhhhhhh...g.! Oh, [Body]

Output: Uhhhh.uhhhhhhhh...g.! Oh, dammit, I'm so bad at this!


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Title] To be fair, last year we were [Body]

Output: To be fair, last year we were crowing about how OSU was going to be locked out on LBs because they waited too long/couldn't flip Gedeon and McCRay, and whiffed on all of their top targets. And that ended pretty well for them. Urby closes late, can usually flip late-risers who committed early to lesser programs and work his mojo on top recruits who wait forever. That's just how he does it. I grant you, I don't know how that will play with QB recruiting, given the nature of that particular beast- QBs, elite or otherwise, don't tend to be hanging around late in the process, or as likely to flip as any other position.


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Title] I mean, statistics don't [Body]

Output: I mean, statistics don't always tell the tale. The idea of UConn's defensive quality, based on points per game, really should be filtered through a quality of opposition caveat. Playing in the Big East with a soft non-conference schedule is going to skew things wildly. I mean, that takes into account a shutout of UMass, which is still functionally an FCS team, and the normal squad of hapless Big East punching bags like South Florida and Temple.And I'll give you the fact that they held Louisville to an abusrdly low score (maybe Bridgewater was injured that day?) and did well against Rutgers (who were very up and down with Nova), but they also gave up 40 points to Nassib and Syracuse and 34 to Cinnci, and even 30 to Western Michigan....and after losing five starters, including several NFL draft picks, you think Gardner and Co. can't put up gaudier numbers than 14 points? I just don't see it.


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Title] ...I really can't see the [Body]

Output: ...I really can't see the logic behind the 14-6 projection. Truthfully, one does notice that Borges is more conservative on the road. Part of that might be because he didn't trust Denard's arm. Factually, Borges let Gardner air it out against Minny and South Carolina. If you want to say Minny was just that bad...well...UConn isn't THAT much better. It's not really enough to say their linemen are big and their Mike is elite. BC had Luke Kuechly, after all, that was never enough.Really, a 14-6 prediction for an away game is almost projecting a tossup. All it would take is one careless pick-6 or the like, and the game is in the air.


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Title] You really think Oklahoma is [Body]

Output: You really think Oklahoma is so much more distant than Virginia?


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Maybe for your birthday, [Body]

Output: Maybe for your birthday, Champ.


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Agreed. Thomas, if he's as [Body]

Output: Agreed. Thomas, if he's as advertised, you want on the field for every down. Nickel is supposed to be an easy to ease-into position, perfect for athletic, talented freshmen to get their feet wet. Let Thomas hand it off to Peppers, and so on down the line.


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Title] For the record, I'm aware of [Body]

Output: For the record, I'm aware of that: I'm not saying he's wrong, I'm not saying the sky is falling, I'm not saying he's going to Bama. I simply thought this was of note. It simply seemed like an anomoly, six predictions that way in the last hour. It WAS the sort of strange, en masse shift that preceded Chase to Michigan. People can take it entirely for what it's worth.


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Title] And on that note, though not [Body]

Output: And on that note, though not on the same topic, DeShone Kizer (2014 QB from Toledo) just committed to ND.


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] I like those five picks as a [Body]

Output: I like those five picks as a starting point for 2015. Now if only they'd stop dithering and drop the hammer! HOKE CAN'T CLOSE! RABBLERABBLERABBLE!


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Any real program would want [Body]

Output: Any real program would want to bring in a talented QB every year, but PSU has even more reason to want to do so. They've been wobbly at QB for what seems forever now, with Mat McGloin, a walk on, being their best option (an gone). Not only is the QB situation totally unsettled now, but they're thin there as well. If Hackenberg goes bust (always a possibility) or gets injured, they're in a world of hurt. Which is not to say that I disagree with you about the lack of line recruiting. Then again, the Pats have been neglecting their OLine for a while, and Brady has been paying the price for that, do maybe O'Brien has a little of the spread nd shred fever, where you think of offense in terms of skill position players and not the guys up front.


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] As has often been pointed [Body]

Output: As has often been pointed out, he is not a Florida kid, he just moved there (by way of TN, even) to get requalified. He is from the great frozen north. And it may be the kid just isn't that good, obviously the staff wanted Speight more than they wanted him. It IS possible, I imagine, that his reclassifying for 2014 instead of 2015 may have had something to do with it. Maybe coaches wanted to watch him throughout a year against better opposition than he faced up in Canada, and that prevented him from giving them that chance? That's pure speculation, so take it for what it's worth.


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Mmmmm, point of parlimentary [Body]

Output: Mmmmm, point of parlimentary procedure, sir, your complaint concerning complaints is invalid unless seconded from the floor, and supported by a quorum of MPs no less than 2/3's in number, and not containing any Welshmen (save those who fought under Chelmsford East of Suez, of course). Mmm, yes, bully.


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Nobody's guaranteed playing [Body]

Output: Nobody's guaranteed playing time. He's not transferring anywhere just because he won't be a three year starter, guaranteed.


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Carlisle isn't worth [Body]

Output: Carlisle isn't worth mentioning.


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Vlad Emilien, in particular, [Body]

Output: Vlad Emilien, in particular, suffered a debilitating injury which he never fully recovered from. He said one of the reasons Michigan got him was the fact that they persisted when other schools were backing away from their offers. But it didn't pan out. Also: insert list of kids with elite offer sheets who have worked out HERE. Longer list, isn't it?


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] HEY! We don't recruit like [Body]

Output: HEY! We don't recruit like that at Michigan. That's SEC stuff!!! ...especilly in TN....mmmmm...dry rub...


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] My problem with #2 is that [Body]

Output: My problem with #2 is that people are flipping the script. Their talking about the propriety )class) of the actions of a teenage kid, who is simply recounting an anecdote he found amusing from his life, about a grown man pursuing him against his wishes. It's his story, it's his to tell. There was actually no judgment about Meyer or his wuality as a human being, just that he had a funny look on his head. But here you have people weighing in on the quality of his actions, criticizing (and disparaging) someone for his perceived criticism of someone else. THAT would, by the definition of the criticism, be classless in and of itself. It was classy of Hand to hide the identity of the coach who made the weird Michael Jackson gaffe. But that reflects well on him, he's under no obligation to do so. Telling an anecdote about a pushy coach, or judging a kid's actions from a distant remove: which is more classless?


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Why should McDermott care if [Body]

Output: Why should McDermott care if Meyer's reputation suffers? He doesn't owe him anything. In fact, if a rival power house program's coach's reputation suffers, in a way that's a good thing. If it happened, he can say whatever he wants. These coaches are flying all over the country trying to attract recruits to their programs. I think it behooves recruits to remember they are but mortal, but all he did here was recount the events of an anecdote as he saw them. He didn't slander the man in any way.He doesn't owe Meyer any more, especially not while the man tries to tempt him into his gingerbread house.


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Come on now, brother. It's [Body]

Output: Come on now, brother. It's been a long night and my English has gone a little south of Wuthering Heights. I'm still above Fifty Shades of Grey, that's all that should be asked of me.


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] There's at least six [Body]

Output: There's at least six Michigan commits from Ohio who've talked about Urban showing up to recruit them, after they've made it clear they're solid. So you really think he wouldn't put in the effort in THIS case?


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] It's also totally in keeping [Body]

Output: It's also totally in keeping with Meyer's track record. Since year one, he's poached recruits from others, shown up to recruit kids already committed to Michigan. To him, no means maybe. Now, you can say that's good recruiting, because some time it pays off. But if someone I told not to bothered showed up face to face? I feel I'd have the right to tell him a firm no. In any other context, Meyer's conduct would be stalking.


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Campbell would be a [Body]

Output: Campbell would be a problem for Ways, not the other way around, and as noted, Scott projects more to the slot position.


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] That's all true, top to [Body]

Output: That's all true, top to bottom. I think playing at Heinz Field is a double edged sword. It does keep the fan numbers low, especially in the bad times. Pain in the ass to get there. BUT, more so than other college teams playing in pro-stadiums, I think there is an upshot for Pitt. Unlike most teams, which are just leasing the field, Pitt has a strong working relationship with the Rooney family. The Panthers don't just play in the stadium, they use the same facilities on the South Side of the city. They LITERALLY spend their college careers under the noses of the Steelers staff. That gets some extra pro attention, and since what one pro staff knows generally becomes common knowledge to scouts, that's led to a lot of extra attention to Pitt players. Not a far stretch to imagine that's why so many of them have placed so well. The Big East, I think, is what's held them back more than anything. Their downturn really was tied to the creation of that poor doomed conference.


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Sure. Pitt had a ranked team [Body]

Output: Sure. Pitt had a ranked team and a ranked recruiting class going into RichRod's last year, when Michigan was buried in problems. SO things never change in this game. Of course the geography, quality of education and pro potential arguments concerning Pitt haven't changed either. So I suppose most football recuits don't make decisions based on your expectations of the future. Strange...


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Yes. Yes he has. [Body]

Output: Yes. Yes he has.


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] On the stability logic, no [Body]

Output: On the stability logic, no one would have committed to Brady Hoke before his first season. A lot depends on the faith a coach can instill in recruits with regards to bis vision of the future. Hoke did it. Chryst has had considerable success in recruiting Western PA already: Off the top of my head, Orndoff and Holtz both had Michigan offers but chose to stay home and play for Pitt, as did Dorian Johnson. I add, parenthetically, that Pitt's profile as a university is essentially the same as those of Big Ten schools...in fact, it would rank ahead of most Big Ten universities in school rankings (or it did as of a year or two ago). Moreover, as to the stability, if Chryst didn't leave Pitt for Wisconsin, he can make a strong argument that he intends to make good his committment to Pitt.


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Pitt insiders have implied [Body]

Output: Pitt insiders have implied that his heart is with Pitt, but his mind tells him the train wreck of their program isn't going to get any better. Given his own inclinations (it is said) he'd wait and see how the next season develops, but he's afraid he'll lose his spot at Michigan or Ohio if he waits. The implication was that even he was wavering back and forth on it. That's a take it for what it's worth thing, I have no special insight beyond what Pitt people say on the matter.


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Beeeecause...you're from [Body]

Output: Beeeecause...you're from Western Pennsylvania? Because Pitt has lots of players in the pros? Because you get to play/practice/train in the same stadium and facilities as the Steelers? Because you like the city of Pittsburgh? Because they also offer a good education?


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] That's not really true. There [Body]

Output: That's not really true. There are plenty of programs that make hay without much star power- in the Big Ten, Wisconsin and Iowa being prime examples. ANd some coaches can squander all the talent in the world because they don't know what the hell they're doing. Look at all the NFL talent Zook recruited, then see how he did on the field.


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Well, Brady is 2-0 against [Body]

Output: Well, Brady is 2-0 against Fitzgerald...so there's that...


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Ryan is RichRod holdover. [Body]

Output: Ryan is RichRod holdover. Kind of early to weigh in on any of the actual Hoke recruits, as most of them have yet to see much real action. Those that have and stand out are Funchess, Ross and Morgan.


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] "The sneezeguard is broken! [Body]

Output: "The sneezeguard is broken! THERE IS NO LAW!!!"


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] "Oh Danny Boy"? [Body]

Output: "Oh Danny Boy"?


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] Golson made his first start [Body]

Output: Golson made his first start against us. Reese's relative success against us, I posit, had more to do with the relative talent gaps between our teams, which is evening out quickly.


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] And Marshall to MSU, lest we [Body]

Output: And Marshall to MSU, lest we forget. I think we can stop thinkingof the crystal balls as reliable predictors of the natural order and think of them as what crystal bars really are...shiny props to distract people for entertainment value.


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] Denard. Unique athlete, [Body]

Output: Denard. Unique athlete, superb human being and true Michigan Man. Carried us through some dark times, gave jaw-dropping performances and he did it all with class.


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] No offer for Jayru yet. Nor [Body]

Output: No offer for Jayru yet. Nor from Ohio. He was told he should come to Michigan's camp to see how he's developed. So I guess you'd sy they're keeping an eye on him/ I think it's also safe to say he isn't their top choice by any means.


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] Actually, I would think the [Body]

Output: Actually, I would think the most famous writer of minstrel show tunes was Stephen Foster, who was from Pittsburgh and only went to the south once, for his honeymoon in Louisiana. That means the writer of "My Old Kentucky Home" never spent any real time in Kentucky. Foster is so controversil for his happy slave songs Greenfield Village in Dearborn, contrary to their normal practice, doesn't use his name to label his house. Actually, if you are ever on the University of Pittsburgh's campus, just nect to the Carnegie Museum you will see an utterly shameful statue of Foster composing, or something, sitting in an elevated position over a bald, smiling, and, I kid you not, shoeless african american playing the banjo.


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] I have to say, that does not [Body]

Output: I have to say, that does not in any way endear the tune to me more. I mean, it does make sense though. The first line is 'I wish I was in the land of cotton," which I guess implies that you aren't at the time.


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] There are hot women [Body]

Output: There are hot women everywhere. And we all know we'll be fine without him. None of that changes the fallacious reasoning of your original post. Painting Ole Miss as some kind of valiant underdog who seems to be doing things on the up and up is incredulous at best. So sure. They have hot women. I'm sure that reasonably overrides the pictures of money he tweeted. Nothing to see here, move along. Also utterly unconvincing: your hypothesis that we won't recruit against them regularly. The better they do, the more we'll bump heads. Auburn had one good year and suddenly we were engaged in, and losing, multiple recruiting battles with them. Why should Ole Miss and their head coach be any different, except, apparently, because you say so? Also ALSO I don't need to know they are dirty to dislike them. The Rebels they named themselves after aren't the Rebel Alliance. I'm offended every time they score a touchdown and Dixie starts playing, so no, even if you WERE right, I still have every reason not to root for them over LSU and Alabama.


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] Pull up a chair and I'll tell [Body]

Output: Pull up a chair and I'll tell you the story of a lad named Treadwell and his tweeted pictures of piles of cash, my friend...

Output: Go get 'em, girls.


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Title] Where's the fish coming from? [Body]

Output: Where's the fish coming from? Kyle Trout committed to OSU.


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Title] Peppers- It does make me feel [Body]

Output: Peppers- It does make me feel nervous that he suddenly has a Rutgers crystal ball prediction on 247.


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Title] It is a "product," it's what [Body]

Output: It is a "product," it's what we're paying for. And you CAN pay to go them all, you just have to pay for transit. I come from Pennsylvania to do just that. Is it worth it? For you, apparently not. Maybe that's because it's so expensive. Parenthetically, nobody cares about what you would do in an alternate universe where you could go to all the games. It is not relevant to the issue. Parenthetically, some of us may equally be worried about the fact that the team has to wade through a killers row of a shcedule every other year rather than simply having a balanced schedule every year, which would probably be better for the team, aside from being more enjoyable to the fans.


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Title] Sure. Because we get them for [Body]

Output: Sure. Because we get them for free. So the quality of the product doesn't matter.


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Title] How does Brandon keep letting [Body]

Output: How does Brandon keep letting this happen? Does he get payoffs for setting up butcher seasons every other year? WTF?


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Title] Just becaue Rutgers is (going [Body]

Output: Just becaue Rutgers is (going to be) in the Big Ten does not make it part of the Big Ten footprint for recruiting purposes. We do not have deep roots there, we have not had much success recruiting there. It is an eastern state, He is referring to the Midwest, which is where most of our recruiting traditionally happens, and where Hoke's predominant success has occurred. Getting top talent from Utah, Florida and New Jersey are firsts for Hoke here.


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Title] At minimum, I'd say there's [Body]

Output: At minimum, I'd say there's nothing "cautious" about that optimism.


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Title] Sensory deprivation chamber. [Body]

Output: Sensory deprivation chamber. Only safe course.


Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Title] You make us proud, Mr. Smith. [Body]

Output: You make us proud, Mr. Smith.


Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Title] A good and worthy man, and a [Body]

Output: A good and worthy man, and a credit to his Alma Mater.


Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I see a distinction. OL [Body]

Output: I see a distinction. OL requires both numbers and time to cultivate, along with the highest rate of error in determining talent. QBs also generally need time to develope, and that situation has been admittedly mishandled, but the policy of taking no more than one a year, to make it obvious who the leader is, is a part of that. We can, and have, taken more than one RB most years. RBs are also the position most likely to walk on to the field and have an immediate impact. It is logical to take one every year, but in our situation- lots of numbers, small incoming class, many talented recruits at other positions interested- I don't see it without the talent. We don't need bodies at RB, we need skill. Because if some combination of Rawls/Johnson/Norfleet/Hayes/Shallman can't carry some of the load for the Green and Smith, adding more comprable huys isn't going to help. That's simply the outlook for the immediate future.


Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Without arguing the logic of [Body]

Output: Without arguing the logic of your conclusion, you're looking three years into the future (after Green leaves) while assuming NO addition of RBs after this year. I don't think th lack of a RB in this class will lead to an apocalyptic "obly Smith, Johnson and Noefleet" scenario, especially with two very probable (and seemingly talented) RB options that could be called Michigan leans in the 2015 class.


Input: [Date] 2 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Typically, they do not. Not [Body]

Output: Typically, they do not. Not anymore, that is, they used to. Their physical and academic standards rule out a great many players, especially linemen. They usually look at a class of players who fit into their triple option system, which allows them to get a different breed of athlete, often overlooked by other schools, who are interested in serving their country. That's why the Armed Forces Academies allrun the same system: Navy proved they could make hay with it in their unique situation. The obvious caveat is that some of these recruits do have offers from higher schools, and simply make life decisions.


Input: [Date] 2 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Good for the lassies/ Go [Body]

Output: Good for the lassies/ Go Blue!


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Title] Roh following in RVB's [Body]

Output: Roh following in RVB's footsteps, I suppose.


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Title] Yes, but when? WHEN? My [Body]

Output: Yes, but when? WHEN? My refresh button can't last through July.


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Title] GOOD NEWS, everyone! [Body]

Output: GOOD NEWS, everyone!


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Title] It's not bad news. [Body]

Output: It's not bad news.


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Title] Heavy is the flag that flaps [Body]

Output: Heavy is the flag that flaps in the tsunami breeze. That's as cryptic as I can make it for you.


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Title] Well, it's kind of relevant, [Body]

Output: Well, it's kind of relevant, since he was competing for the QB position of a team we're playing next year, and every year hereafter. Moreover, it means Hackenberg (aka PSU's Shane Morrison) is almost guaranteed not to get a redshirt now.


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Title] That came out of left [Body]

Output: That came out of left field...


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Title] Wow. What a year for Michigan [Body]

Output: Wow. What a year for Michigan athletics.


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Title] Buh-bye. [Body]

Output: Buh-bye.


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Title] ...who...committed to a [Body]

Output: ...who...committed to a different coach, running a different system, and left when it became clear that coach was about to be shown the door.


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Real Classy [Body]

Output: Classy, classy, classy.


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Buy your own helemt, and [Body]

Output: Buy your own helemt, and you're hired.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] This is based on a false [Body]

Output: This is based on a false premise anyway. Whatever else, he wound up at PItt because he pulled a Touchdown Tony and knocked up his local girlfriend. He's abandonibg her and his newborn twin daughters to transfer, BTW, quite against her and his family's wishes.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Ray Grahme was supposed to [Body]

Output: Ray Grahme was supposed to leave that year before he tore up his leg. Even then, he was 1. Recovering from an injury, 2. A different type of RB (smaller, shiftier) and better suited for division of roles, and 3. At worst leaving after one year instead of lining up almost exactly with your remaining eligibility. Do you think these worse case scenarios are equal: backing up Ray Grahme for one year before taking the starting role vs. backing up Derrick Green for ywo years before competing for the starting role with whatever other backs an ascendent Michigan is bringing in?


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] That's not how systems work. [Body]

Output: That's not how systems work. There are such a thing as squre pegs for round holes. And Pitt's style of play is hardly for all.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] great googamoogum! [Body]

Output: great googamoogum!


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] He wouldn't want to come to a [Body]

Output: He wouldn't want to come to a place where he has to compete with Derrick Green. Nor would we want someone who ahd personality disputes with Chryst over exercise and training (which is the word from the Pitt fansite grapevine).


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Mmm...it's a pretty sweeping [Body]

Output: Mmm...it's a pretty sweeping assumption. He left CMU, where he was a star and the focus of the team, because they fired his father. He's leaving Pitt because he's a role player who doesn't really fit the system, and who won't make it to the next level, even in Europe, if he doesn't go somewhere he can be the focus of play again. Is this sort of thing normal? No. On the other hand, there are rational, non-dramatic reasons for both moves. I add, for what it's worth, I rode on a megabus from Ann Arbor to Pittsburgh with Ziegler, and he struck me as a humble, well-grounded and respectful person.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Ah [Body]

Output: Well, it is ON TV, just shifted to primetime. Look at the bright side.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Based on picks for Nerlen [Body]

Output: Based on picks for Nerlens Noel and Cody Zellers? Yes. Top-5 isn't really the middle of anything.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] If he has the numbers he's [Body]

Output: If he has the numbers he's putting up now, he will, or near them, for a year he will, without a doubt, wind up in the top of the first round. Many big men have been highly selected for less.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Unless you're against [Body]

Output: Unless you're against retiring numbers in general, I don't see how you can argue against retiring Burke's number. He WILL be national POY, and at a minimum he led this team to the Final Four. I don't even care about leaving after two years, and I'm someone who believes adamantly in players staying and finishing their degrees. Burke has already done everything he can for his draft stock, it will never rise higher. If he comes back, it will only decline (if only slightly) with the possibility of being hurt. In the end, if Burke's number isn't retired, their really isn't a scenario in which we retire ANY number ever again.


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] Hoke has a big "I told you [Body]

Output: Hoke has a big "I told you so" coming from Magnus's direction. Damn.


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] Strange how bad decisions end [Body]

Output: Strange how bad decisions end badly. Huh...


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] In point of fact, RJS was the [Body]

Output: In point of fact, RJS was the ONLY commit at that particular game. Of course, many more followed shortly thereafter.


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Title] They have a lot more to lose [Body]

Output: They have a lot more to lose than to gain with this. There's a reason Pitt extended Dixon, because they realized he might not be one of the best, but the odds of getting someone better were worse than of them getting someone worse. Indeed, Gken Mason'ed. On the bright side, Smith will land on his feet, just like Illinois's coach. He's good enough a decent program will want him.


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Kentucky [Body]

Output: In the words of Willy Wonka: "You get NOTHING! You LOSE! GOOD DAY, sir!"


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] Uhhhhh....I'm not going to an [Body]

Output: Uhhhhh....I'm not going to an event in a place that frowns on...feel good juice. Yeah, that should be SFW...


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] Or Kick Ass, the super hero [Body]

Output: Or Kick Ass, the super hero from the movie of the sam name.


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] You can take that farther. [Body]

Output: You can take that farther. The Lions need safties, special teams players, and players who won't make headlines for all the wrong reasons. Kovacs has the hat trick.


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] If those numbers for Kovacs [Body]

Output: If those numbers for Kovacs are considered legit, I can't believe he wouldn't be drafted. His instincts aside, those are fantastic numbers, easily worth a late round pick. You could do much worse than get a high-character, never say die special team's ace in the 7th round, and those numbers say capable backup at the very least. On other notes, was Denard on display at the Pro day? And is there any knowledge of what teams are actually there?


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] That 2010 class deserves a [Body]

Output: That 2010 class deserves a "Never Forget" banner of its own. That list truly reaches Charge of the Light Brigade levels of martial tragedy.


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] For the proper perspective, [Body]

Output: For the proper perspective, it seems that the RT-LG switch has solid reasoning behind it, although I couldn't say what it is. The Pros do, though. It seems to happen a lot in the NFL. As an example, Willie Colon, (fomerly) of the Steelers moved between RT and LG.


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] I know, right??? [Body]

Output: I know, right???


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] ...touche. [Body]

Output: ...touche.


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] Well...this isn't BAD [Body]

Output: Well...this isn't BAD news...so I refuse to comment on it!!!


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] We all salute one of the [Body]

Output: We all salute one of the greats! Surely he will dine in the halls of Valhalla, where the legends of yore shall live forever! In death it is a warrior's best and only bulwark!


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] I'd feel a little iffy about [Body]

Output: I'd feel a little iffy about it if one of them was Doles. And I hope that's not seen as a knock on Doles, but given how stacked our interior is, I would think we would need at least two tackles. Doles seems like more of a quality depth guy at a position where we have all the dept in the world.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Plus infinity for the [Body]

Output: Plus infinity for the Serpentor reference.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Michigan is one of the finest [Body]

Output: Michigan is one of the finest centers of learning in the world...and we're getting out scienced by A&M???


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Then I call shenanigans! That [Body]

Output: Then I call shenanigans! That would mean they got more than a thousand votes in the last hour.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] It's getting pretty hard to [Body]

Output: It's getting pretty hard to come up with a permutation of events where Burke doesn't end the year as an All-American. If you don't want to go too deep into hypo. pound-for-pound comparisons, that puts him in pretty august company.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] Same with me. I was texting [Body]

Output: Same with me. I was texting my sister, who'd been groaning about the officiating all night, after the McGary TO. Then I looked up: glory.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] Ahhh...TRADITION!!! [Body]

Output: Ahhh...TRADITION!!!


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] I think the point is that one [Body]

Output: I think the point is that one without the other is an equally invalid argument. You have to take the good with the bad and visa versa.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] GRIII is not, and never was, [Body]

Output: GRIII is not, and never was, a one and done kid. He came out strong in mock drafts because he has a high-profile name, played for a high-profile team, and had a massive surplus of highlight reel plays. That's all a lot of these people making mock drafts see: stat lines and highlights. But any judge of horseflesh could tell you he didn't have the skill set yet. He doesn't generate offense on his own, doesn't play defense, doesn't rebound the ball... And none of this should be interpreted as malice to Little Dog. He's a god kid and he'll be a good player. I just always laugh when I see people crediting mock drafts as anything other than a source of entertainment. GRII has a big future if he can grow as a player, but if he went out now? 2nd Round at best, based on athleticism alone.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] That's not going to happen. [Body]

Output: That's not going to happen.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] For whatever reason, I've [Body]

Output: For whatever reason, I've been pretty at peace with this. Usually a loss would send me into a funk, but not this time. This particular silver lining, however is not why. If they were going to learn from abject humiliation, they would have gotten their act together after the Michigan State game...or in the week layover before Illinois. What we have is what we have. Nothing is going to change before the end of the season.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] I would agree with that. [Body]

Output: I would agree with that.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] ....has been careful to not [Body]

Output: ....has been careful to not say we "lead," though he's made multiple comments on us setting the standard. High on us? yes. Likely to commit? Yes. Said we lead? Not unless that happened in the last day or two.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] Coles was the prediction [Body]

Output: Cole was the prediction everyone was making before the weekend. Doles is another safe money bet. We're filled to the brim with talented interior linemen, we can't possibly take that many more in this class, so if he wants to come, he'll drop sooner than later. He's also the last guy left on the board for 2014 who's said Michigan is his out and out leader. What Brown essentially said here is "I guess the most likely guy to commit will be the next to commit. Unless he isn't." I don't know, maybe he is the next Lorenz. It seems to me he's trying to be by getting ahead of the curve for 2015. But as it is, he's never said anything to make me trust any cryptic tweets of his.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] C'Mon MGoPeople!!! Denard [Body]

Output: C'Mon MGoPeople!!! Denard gave us years of glory, the least we can do is give him the cover over some WR NOBODY outside of Dixieland has ever heard of. MUST....WIIIINNNN....


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] Clearly he'd like to close [Body]

Output: Clearly he'd like to close out his career on the same team he started with, which is to be admired. It's not like he needs the money, and it helps to get a better team around him. If I were him, I'd take the cut conditional on the front office spending it on O-Linemen.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] If Doles is coming at all, [Body]

Output: If Doles is coming at all, expect him to drop soon. I would not expect more than two interior O-Lmen for this class, given our surplus.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] He has the football skills [Body]

Output: He has the football skills and dedication to Michigan which make him a viable recruit. However! What puts him over the top is his glorious coif. Between him, Ryan and Bolden we have enough musketeers to make for a novel.


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Title] I heard he made them from a [Body]

Output: I heard he made them from a yeti he killed with a trident. Also, he takes showers in grain alcohol and he lassoed a tornado and rode it to the west cpast, just to offer Joe Mixon in person.


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Do you burn your bridges [Body]

Output: Do you burn your bridges behind you?


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Title] We know you are. [Body]

Output: We know you are.


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Your first sentence is [Body]

Output: Your first sentence is correct, your second sentence, more arguably, as well. Notably, though, neither has anything to do with either of the things I said.


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Title] I guess that will hurt us [Body]

Output: I guess that will hurt us with Mone; and McDowell; and Marshall. And who knows how many othe recruits he was in on, recruits he's going to try and steer towards Oklahoma now. Most of all, though? It's just embarassing.


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Title] I'm sure Hoke apologizes for [Body]

Output: I'm sure Hoke apologizes for not doing better than 19-7 and a BCS Bowl championship with players recruited by someone else for another system.


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Title] I never understood why Brian [Body]

Output: I never understood why Brian was so worked up about this. There was never anything suggesting the move was permanant, and it seemed to me pretty clear this was about CB depth, with Countess and Floyd both down and out.


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Ok then, lets hear them [Body]

Output: Ok then, lets hear them out...


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Title] ...In fact...forget the [Body]

Output: ...In fact...forget the recruiting!


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Title] You forget Michigan vs. [Body]

Output: You forget Michigan vs. Indiana in 1937, when most of the stadium was destroyed by invading martians in the second half. The only surviving player, a Hoosier, when on to score 58 unanswered points before the game was called by an injured referee who escaped the alien slave-crafts.


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Title] To be fair, we're no longer a [Body]

Output: To be fair, we're no longer a top 5 team.


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Pretty good summation at top. [Body]

Output: Pretty good summation at top. Somewhere along the line this turned from a team of athletic young dynamos to a team of jump shooters. That's really all you can say about us anymore. The defense is flimsy, the physicality is non-existant and the offense has no Plan B if the jump shots don't fall. We don't even look like we're playing smart anumre, which is never something I thought I'd say about a Beilein team.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] I like the way you think. [Body]

Output: I like the way you think.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] You think there's that much [Body]

Output: You think there's that much difference between the MAC and the WAC?


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Fate: tempted. [Body]

Output: Fate: tempted.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] I suppose, as other people [Body]

Output: I suppose, as other people are now pointing out, we could add Adoree Jackson tothe list. CB from CA with good offers, who's been making noise about being the next Charles Woodson, so maybe that's something.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Yep, forgot about Bars, but [Body]

Output: Yep, forgot about Bars, but that's kind of unspoken. I mean, I don't recall ever hearing a quote where he said Michigan leads, and while his brother is here, he has two other brothers in other programs. It's just that he's visited here so often. Westphal made the comment that Michigan is the standard he measures other schools by, and people seem to think we have a good chance with him. Peppers, they say, is more of a lonshot (kind of like Hand- in his top group, mentioned, but behind other schools, so the legends say) IThe names I put up top (except for Holmes) were there because they've said Michigan leads. If you want people Michigan has a good chance with, Westphal and Bars are good additions, but you could add Scott and Cole as a package,.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] The only two recruits who we [Body]

Output: The only two recruits who we seem to be way ahead on as a matter of record are Brian Mone, the Utah DT (who would seem to be a 250 type) and Doles, who probably isn't a 250 type guy (yet?) because of size. Maybe you add Corey Holmes to that list, because he grew up a Michigan fan, but then again, so did Marshall. Of course, nobody knows who's really ahead for a lot of these kids. I don't think we were ahead for Bosh or Kugler (especially Kugler) before they dropped and dropped early.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Conley went to a school he [Body]

Output: Conley went to a school he didn't have an offer from when he first committed. Lawrence had his choice and made it. So there's that difference.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] McDowell is also a different [Body]

Output: McDowell is also a different position than Marshall. So...


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] We can but hope. [Body]

Output: We can but hope.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] I'm...sure they would like [Body]

Output: I'm...sure they would like to. That's not the kind of thing that's easily replicated, especially since, by all accounts, that wasn't a stage managed event. Especially since we aren't in on a lot of Michigan and Ohio kids, who formed the bulk of that event, I doubt we'll see the like of it again this year, if ever.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Bad news bears, no way to [Body]

Output: Bad news bears, no way to whitewash it. Can't keep on top if we can't even stay afloat in recruiting our own state. I give Meyer credit. He's targetting kids that aren't just good players, but the high-percentage targets we need. It's like a scorched earth campaign, burning the ground out from under us. Man. I am not happy today.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Treason! Call out the [Body]

Output: Treason! Call out the guards!!!


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Well, as to the latter point, [Body]

Output: Well, as to the latter point, that's why I observed they diod well for themselves "at college." In as much as this is a UofM board and not a Detroit Lions fansite, I would think that;s the primary concern. As it is, when Keenum and Moore needed to rise to the occasion, they usually did, so while their success was predicated on weaker opposition, it's not as if it was a boondoggle at the NCAA level. And while the defenses will be better than they were accustomed to facing, the offensive line and supporting cast Speight will have around him will be improved as well. As to the level of competition, I see that. My big fear was what would happen when he meets up with the CBs Ohio has been hauling in. It won't matter how on target the ball is, if it takes a week to get there, those guys will hawk it. On the other hand, having a big arm and no questionable accuracy would be just as much of a problem. I think the truth is, anybody is going to have a tough time with that kind of an elite secondary.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] He does not, in fact, have [Body]

Output: He does not, in fact, have great arm strength in relation to velocity. I will observe, though, that Kellon Moore and Case Keenum didn't have elite arm strength either, and they did well for themselves at college. That's all that should matter to us.


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Title] May you strike mighty blows [Body]

Output: May you strike mighty blows for Michigan and bring honor to your clan, young samurai.


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Title] That was like watching a rap [Body]

Output: That was like watching a rap in a spaghetti western.


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Speechless. This clearly a [Body]

Output: Speechless. This is clearly a bridge too far. This would eradicate any sense of the players being "amateur" athletes. Why not ust make a minor league for the NFL and have done with it? Not that I think the NCAA deserves all the money it makes, mind you.


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] There will be no "After [Body]

Output: There will be no "After Beilein." We're going to live forever.


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] WE #1!!!! [Body]

Output: WE #1!!!!


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] Oh? Is Green playing defense [Body]

Output: Oh? Is Green playing defense now?


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] May the winds be ever in [Body]

Output: May the winds be ever in their favor.


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] You can be on a scholarship now if you transfer within the Big Ten. The new "punishment" is that the year you have to sit out counts against your eligibility. In other words, you can't use the sit out year as a redshirt year. [Title]

Output: No, they changed that rule


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Body] see this press release from Minnesota in regards to their RB Kirkwood, which frankly only raises more question about the current situation http://www.gophersports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/011911aaa.html "University of Minnesota running back Donnell Kirkwood has been granted a medical hardship waiver by the Big Ten Conference. Kirkwood's participation in the 2010 season will not count against him and he will have four seasons of eligibility remaining. "This is great news for Donnell and for our football program," head coach Jerry Kill said. "We're happy for him and we appreciate all those who assisted in getting the waiver approved." Kirkwood rushed for 107 yards on 27 carries, averaging 4.0 yards per carry, early in the 2010 season before missing the remainder of the year with a leg injury. -UM- " [Title]

Output: Yep this is true


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Arkansas. I know it's not out of the ordinary to recommit, but it's more the exception. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 33 weeks ago [Body] this incident occurred two years ago when Gibbons was a Freshman, but was never identified at the time. Although, it was strongly rumored to be him. Article on arrest: http://annarbor.com/news/university-of-michigan-student-arrested-after-r... Also, here's the writeup on the actual comments by Mr. Smith "In 2009, a UM football player and field goal kicker, Brendan Gibbons was arrested for allegedly raping an 18 year old freshman at a CHI PSI fraternity party, where she had been served alcohol to the point of intoxication." http://annarborchronicle.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Comments-for-the... *********** With all of the being said, I would still be in favor of just locking but not deleting this thread.

Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Body] I think people should prepare themselves for the very real possibility that Devin is not getting his redshirt. This theory that this decided after eligibility is exhausted is not true. It is only true for people trying to get a sixth year (like Case Keenum), not just a generic medical redshirt. Now I'm no expert on the NCAA/Big Ten rulebook but here are some examples: Junior Hemingway: http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/hemingway_junior00.html "Sophomore (2008) ... received medical redshirt ... played in four games and made one start at wide receiver ..." Donnell Kirkwood (RB Minn): http://www.startribune.com/sports/blogs/114249984.html "Kirkwood had 50 yards against Middle Tennessee State that night, but the 18-yard gain was his biggest of the season. He didn't carry the ball again after straining his right hamstring on Sept. 25, just four games into the regular season. As a result, the NCAA has restored a year of eligibility for the 19-year-old tailback, allowing him to play four more seasons at Minnesota." So, these are just two quick examples of people being granted medical redshirts after their Freshman and Sophomore. [Title]

Output: I think people should prepare

Output: No I get that they're dependent on each other


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] but the pre-season practice reports were not glowing of the wr corps either. The point is I think the staff has weighed the relative need of taking a second DT versus getting skill positions on offense and determined that those skill positions are a more pressing need given the play to date and the current makeup of the recruiting class. I'm not sure I disagree with them, if that is indeed the case. Or perhaps this is all spin out of Webb and O'Brien simply was never going to go to Michigan, which is certainly possible. [Title]

Output: It's not just the games


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] "I dont think O'brien adds as much to that as, say, Darboh would add to our WR situation. " I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head here. The complete lack of an emergence of a go to WR and RB has played a big role in this, in my opinion. [Title]

Output: "I dont think O'brien adds as


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] "Apparently the Big 10 is working with Nebraska to facilitate entrance into the AAU." Nebraska was in the AAU at the time of their admittance and then schools like Michigan and Wisconsin voted them out of the AAU. So not sure the above statement is particularly accurate. [Title]

The Champions League is more of a tournament than an actual league, in my view. The games are usually during the week as opposed to league games on the weekend. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 1 week ago [Body] Agreed. Also, towns and ski resorts bid millions of dollars to host the start and end of each stage. This affects the route more than any factor aside from clockwise/counterclockwise in alternate years and a few historical considerations. Yes, they need summit finishes because they increase tv ratings, but the summits bid dollars for the privilege. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Body] It's true that no-one is forcing them, but an employer has the responsibility to identify risks, enact prevention and mitigation measures, communicate them and ensure they are fully understood. They also have the responsibility of conducting an incident investigation, identifying both root causes and causal factors and then communicating them across the organization and sometimes the industry. Only degrees of this may apply to football depending on the type of injury, but the NFL has obfuscated, denied, and colluded to misrepresent the risk of brain injurires. College and earlier levels of football even further externalize all the risk onto the player. Accountabiliy for risk is shared by the organization. It's not enough to acknowledge "there are risks" and make it entirely the player's responsibility. If people (and parents) knew all of the risks it would change things, be it decreased participation or coaches sitting more players out of caution. Smoking: aside from marketing, manufacturers colluded to suppress and manipulate science. Maybe "everyone knew it could be bad for you" but they certainly did not know how bad (this is not dissimilar to the NFL's manipulation of brain injury studies the past two decades though they did not go nearly as far). I'm not discussing the political solutions and lawsuits but those companies lied about their product so they share some of the risk with smokers irrespective of how they were held accountable. It's simply not true the organizations are not responsible for the end use of their processes, product or brand. [Title]

Output: It's true that no-one is


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Body] You'd only have a real time accuracy of at best 3 yards. You could do better, but the ball would have to rest at is forward location for 15 minutes and you'd have to repeat it 6 hours later with different satellite constellations. Video is the only option but then you'd have to review nearly every spot so the only realistic option is goal lines or by coaches challenge. [Title]

Output: You'd only have a real time


Input: [Date] 3 years 3 weeks ago [Body] But when you watch football, half the time you are watching men lay on top of or underneath other men. So either football players are gross and nasty, or your comments regarding cyclists are totally fourth grade gay. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 3 weeks ago [Body] So are you grossed out by all camera shots of men's asses in footpall pants? Cyclists essentially wear the same outfits as football players minus shoulder pads, though there is one notable difference: football pants are the Capri version of bicycle shorts. [Title]

Output: So are you grossed out by all


Input: [Date] 3 years 3 weeks ago [Body] Voeckler has spoken out on this issue previously. I think he has a point, but if I remember correctly he is a bit of a retrogrouch and doesn't train with a cadence and power monitor. He doesn't like technology, which is part of his panache. It definitely could contribute to risk taking as well as distract a rider when infinitesimal reactions are required. They are banned from all races but the world tours, so it would be interesting to see them banned and the impact that has on strategy. Teams would have to rely more on their captain, rogue breakaways may be more likely to succeed, and there may be more individual attacks. But you can make an argument they improve general well being and safety with greater communication for medical and mechanical needs. [Title]
