Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] MSU had 4 OOC losses last year, but I'm clearly wrong and should just pencil us in for the NIT. [Title]

Output: MSU had 4 OOC losses last


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] Don't you think that's putting words in my mouth a bit? All I said is I think we can end up with the same seed we had last year, and who knows what happens come tournament time. Compare last years OOC schedule to this year, they're not even close. If we played last years schedule, Michigan would be a 0 or 1 loss team and that four seed wouldn't seem so unrealistic. [Title]

Output: Don't you think that's


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] They're good losses (minus Charlotte), I think it all gets pulled together by the time conference play rolls around and we show enough in the B1G to get a 4 seed. Admittedly this is mostly based on my eyeball test, but I have a decent enough feeling about it. Even though it was a loss, I felt like progress was shown this game over where we were in Puerto Rico. [Title]

Output: They're good losses (minus


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] The truth is, Michigan is one of the youngest teams in the nation, playing one of the toughest schedules in the nation. They're not bad, just inexperienced. Things will get better, and my outlook is still the same as it was at the start of the year. Finish with a 4 seed, sweet sixteeen type team. That's really not a horrible thing to be in college basketball, it's what we were last year and look what happened in the tournament. [Title]

Output: The truth is, Michigan is one


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] The foul call was obviously bad, but so was the OOB play on the previous possession that clearly went off McGary. I'm not really in the business of blaming the refs most of the time, when it's so easy to look over the game and pick out bad calls for both sides. [Title]

For what it's worth, I mostly just read here, but I think you're an exceptional member of the blog and I lean on you for understanding of the game just as much as I lean on the guys employed here. I also fully agree with you on the points you make here. Personal attacks on the coaches and their weight is completely pointless and immature and that sort of attitude completely detracts from my experience on this site. I have no problems with criticism of coaching style and things to do with the game, but it shouldn't be all that hard for people to maturely make their point. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 hours 59 min ago [Body] I care because I love football, and love Michigan football in particular. I care because I want to see football continue. I care because I think the hypocrisy will damage football. Frankly, as I've said clearly, everyone needs to make an informed decision on the well-being of their kids. But yeah, if the number of those who choose against participation in football continues to grow, that could be the end of football. And yeah, I care, because I wouldn't be happy about that. [Title]

Output: Why do I care?


Input: [Date] 7 hours 2 min ago [Body] I've enjoyed reading all the different responses, from different perspectives. I posed the question, now I'll share a few of my own thoughts. These are my own personal thoughts, which I well realize might not be particularly relevant to you. Still, here are my two cents. First, I completely agree with those who say to let your kids tell you what they're interested in. Our son has played soccer, baseball, football, ran track, been on the park district swim team, and wrestled. He would have played hockey, but that wasn't in our budget . . . it costs way too much for me. He definitely wanted to let go of swimming. Of the rest, he gravitated especially to baseball and football. I never pushed him to be in any sport . . . except after he registered and joined the team. Once you're on a team, I think you owe it to the team and to yourself to finish what you started. One thing I really disagree with is the whole "my kid is too skinny/small/uncoordinated," etc., etc. I feel pretty strongly that the number of kids who make it to High School teams, and to Div. 1 College teams, and to NFL teams, is irrelevant. Just because you're kid isn't going to be playing for Michigan doesn't mean he shouldn't play. The other thing I keep on hearing about is having the "right body type." And just what is the right body type? Obviously, not many have the right body to play OL. And not many have the right speed and hands to play WR. But that's ok! Let your kid play for the fun of the game, not because he will make a career of it. Oh, and IIRC, Tom Brady didn't have the right body type. And we know how that turned out. It happens that our son is a natural left hander, with a strong arm. As such, his potential really is in baseball, and he knows it. But he will keep on playing football as long as he loves and enjoys it, and as long as he makes the team. I have seen firsthand the huge benefit of football as a team sport. it is something where the entire team has to work well together. Play the game because you enjoy it, not because it will be a career. I really regret never having the opportunity to play a team sport as a kid. It is a valuable experience. I strongly agree with Jim Harbaugh on this, and am surprised that more of you don't agree with our coach and support him, at least indirectly, by allowing your sons to play. As regards football this Fall, we made clear that as kids are getting bigger and stronger and faster, there definitely is the risk of injury. I guess even with the risk of concussions and leg injuries, and CTE, the benefits outweigh the costs. I have nephews who played and starred in HS football in Ohio, one at St. Ignatius outside of Cleveland, winning a state championship and scoring touchdowns. They both eventually quit the game because of injuries, which makes sense. But neither regrets their experience: one is a lawyer, the other a coach. My last comment. Everyone needs to make their own decision, and do what is right for themselves, and for their family. We've done what works for our family. You do what works for yours. But yeah, it does make me shake my head to see fans here on the blog want a "mean streak" on the OL and DL, and want Michigan to ring OSU's bell, but be completely closed minded to their own son playing ball. [Title]

Output: My two cents


Input: [Date] 7 hours 6 min ago [Body] Your post is very realistic. Some dads (and moms, and coaches,) need to get a grip. Play hard, play right, play for fun, but you're not out to injure someone. Insightful comment on NFL, and your experience on injuries is mine too: in five years of youth football, I think I saw a single serious injury. Not common. [Title]

Output: Your post is very realistic


Input: [Date] 7 hours 12 min ago [Body] I couldn't agree more. Well put. Tackle has been a wonderful experience for our son. His last team was terrible, for reasons out of his control, and they didn't win a game. But you know, the experience of sticking with it even when the team was losing was also very valuable. [Title]

Output: Couldn't agree more


Input: [Date] 7 hours 14 min ago [Body] FYI, they do not allow a huge weight disparity in youth football. This is why many large linemen don't begin playing til they're in the highest weight class. From 3rd up through 7th grade, you had to be in a pretty narrow weight band. If you were light, you played down a class. If you were heavy, you played up a class (or two, or three.) It wasn't until 8th grade that you started to see more variation in the weight of players, and even that pales compared to HS (which pales compared to college and pro football.) [Title]

Output: Youth football classed by weight

Input: [Date] 5 days 6 hours ago [Body] I think it depends on personal connection. Sometimes, it is fine to contact a kid if you have a reason to, and a personal relationship. (friends of your own kids, or on a team you coach, or kids of your own friends, etc.) But even when you know someone, you need to be careful. When my kids were in middle school I learned that the teachers had pretty strict internal guidelines about how an in what forum they communicated with kids. IIRC, it was considered inappropriate to use social media (FB, etc.) for a teacher to contact ANY of their students, sometimes especially those with home they had a good relationship. [Title]

Output: Think it depends on personal connection


Input: [Date] 5 days 6 hours ago [Body] I never liked the 70's style domes. Have been in Tropicana, Silverdome, Superdome, Astrodome, and Georgia Dome, none of which I liked. But I think the worst was going to an Expos game in the Olympic Stadium in Montreal in 78. For a different experience, I have avoided Wrigley Field like the plague. However, with recent renovations, might consider going for the first time in my life. [Title]

Output: 70's domes


Input: [Date] 5 days 6 hours ago [Body] Obv. I'd like better, but really, 9 - 3 is a reach which would be a huge improvement. I think we are too far behind MSU and OSU right now, and there are several other games we could easily lose. If I had to predict, I'd say we lose one non-conference game, lose to OSU, and lose one other Big 10 game. Again, from my perspective, that's a huge success. EDIT: And FTR, I'd gladly take 8 - 4 if we won against MSU & OSU. That raises a sub-question: which game is it more important to win this year: MSU or OSU? I'm really torn on that one, but I'd have to say OSU. Long term, I believe we'll dominate MSU again. But we have to stop the bleeding against OSU. [Title]

Output: 9 - 3


Input: [Date] 5 days 14 hours ago [Body] Dragonchild, I mostly agree with you. That's why I had the qualifier "prior personal connection" in the OP. It happens that beyond relatives, I have a reason to relate to quite a few teenagers and college students. Some are friends of my kids, some are kids of my friends, some I teach, some attend my church, some I see in yet another context. The point is, they're not strangers on the Internet. There are good reasons for me to be in contact, so it is reasonable to be in connection with them via social media, texting, in person, etc. My issue is contacting someone out of the blue for recruiting purposes. That's where I have a problem. [Title]

Output: To dragonchild: agreed


Input: [Date] 5 days 18 hours ago [Body] I'm not quite sure what you mean, Monkey House. I thought you had to have a twitter account to "follow" someone on twitter. The extent of my seeing any tweet is to read a link that is posted on mgoblog (or in this case, 11W.) Reading information that is publicly posted I guess I can live with. But contacting anyone via twitter, especially recruits, or contacting anyone via twitter, for that matter, isn't something I have any interest in doing. Let alone joining twitter, so I can follow someone. [Title]

Output: Not sure what you mean


Input: [Date] 5 days 20 hours ago [Body] I couldn't agree more. But Ramzy says it best: tweeting at strangers and telling them what you would like them to do with their lives is creepy. Always. There are no exceptions to this rule, and those who break it are categorically assholes. [Title]

Output: Agree completely


Input: [Date] 6 days 4 hours ago [Body] Alas, I'll be in Chicago. And I look nothing like my avatar. Speaking of Chicago, I'm disappointed there aren't any events here in the area, whether with Brian or the coaches. Not sure if I missed them, or if they didn't happen this year. [Title]

Output: Great idea


Input: [Date] 6 days 10 hours ago [Body] I'm waiting to hear something definitive on the curious case of Dennis Norfleet. The mgoblog depth chart has him removed as of 5/13/15. The mgoblue roster still has him listed as of today. It has been reported that he has been released to speak with Muskegee. But Harbaugh has been quoted as saying it is possible for him to continue. The other thing which is not clear to me is injuries. It is possible for someone to remain on the roster, but to have a medical redshirt for 2015. To date, I am not aware of any continuing injuries on the team. [Title]

Output: I'm waiting to hear something definitive on Norfleet


Input: [Date] 6 days 11 hours ago [Body] I don't know the answer, but I am sure of this. Both AC & Woodson are better remembered with their former jersey numbers in circulation than if they were "retired." Brian said it well on the front page: the Legends idea was not bad, but the execution was poor. There are only so many numbers to give out, and taking numbers out of circulation makes it difficult to give everyone on the team a number. The jerseys were just too busy with the patch and all. My personal preference would be to treat all retired numbers like 1 & 2: they can be used at the discretion of the coaches, when they feel a young player (freshman, sophomore at most) wants the number change, has earned it, and has the potential to be a star. I would guess that in most cases, the coaches know after a year or two whether someone is going to really shine and stand out or not. [Title]

Output: Don't know answer

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Yeah, I know that Michigan won the title. I watched the game, loved the team. But why Rumeal? I'd put Rice higher than Robinson. And, if you surrounded Denard with the same kind of talent that Rumeal was surrounded by . . . we would have seen a lot more from Denard. But beyond that, even prior to the shameless exploitation of his mother that put Rumeal into jail, I don't remember him ever being an ambassador for Michigan Basketball. I, for one, don't judge success just by championships. [Title]

Output: Denard

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] You know, I almost don't have any lamentable stuff. No RR, No Hoke, No Brandon. No bumblebee jersey, no jerseys, no nutsacks. (I can't comprehend the last. SMH in horror.) My tastes run toward classic, timeless stuff, and so that's all I ever buy. I personally love my neon Michigan Adidas t-shirts (and before that, ancient Nike maize t-shirts,) my old Champion reverse weave sweatshirts, my block Michigan hats. They all still look good years later. Realistically, the oddest or tackiest or strangest stuff didn't start until several years ago when MGoBlog starting throwing in a Tee with a $50 HTTV order. I wear the yellow photobomb Tee of Brian when I'm mowing the lawn or cleaning the gutters, etc. That shirt may be the ugliest shirt I own at all, let alone of Michigan stuff. [Title]

Output: Interesting question


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I'm betting that if you had this reporter one on one over a beer, he'd much rather have Jim Harbaugh over Jed York. He's paid to write, and there will always be sour grapes when a winning coach leaves. Always. Regarding clock management, I'll be watching that. We see all the gifs of JH going wild on the sidelines. Could this affect clock? We'll see. Regarding offensive play calling, and whether JH is too conservative, I dunno. I think his conservatism did just fine. And I don't fault the calls. Regarding JH cliches, I find that to probably be true, and to be amusing. One overall comment on the board and how they respond to this thread. Ya know, there have been people here who loved RR. And people here who believed Hoke pooped gold. You know who you are. I myself stayed in Hoke's corner too long. Mea Culpa. Here's the thing. I'm delighted JH is Michigan's coach. But the adulation and deification has me SMH and rolling my eyes. Right now, Harbaugh can do no wrong. Soon enough, after a tough or bone-headed loss, the fickle crowd will turn. I guess that's the nature of fandom. Nonetheless, I for one think it is better to keep an even keel rather than getting too high or too low. JH isn't perfect. Neither was Bo. Nor Urban, or Saban, or Miles. But he is a good coach, and I'm looking forward to a long run, warts and all. [Title]

Output: Take with a grain of salt


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I loved that interview with BR. He was honest, and I liked his answers to boot. I guess I'm old enough that I also didn't have an opinion on several he didn't have an opinion on. And his answer regarding MJ Lebron and Kobe was awesome. They're all great. [Title]

Output: Liked it!


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Well, two out of three. Lane Tech in Chicago was good in football, as is Glenbard North where my kids go. My HS in the Detroit Metro area wasn't very good, and the high school has since been closed. [Title]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Great post. State of MI. That's good. Getting back to my OP, I have been concerned about the OL for some time. I still blame the terrible line recruiting under RR for setting us back a long time. The line makes QB's and RB's look good (or conversely, very bad.) The running game may have improved a bit from 2013 to 2014, but not hugely. And I get the feeling that Gardner was running scared much of the year. I really haven't heard much of anything on Samuelson or Bars. But, to tell you the truth, I also haven't heard much about Fox, Tuley-Tillman, Dawson, or Kugler. (Let alone the redshirt freshmen.) I'd love to see several really take a big stride forward, and push the starters. As mentioned by others, it really helps to have competition, and there hasn't been much. [Title]

Output: Touche

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] My dad remembers going to a football game at Stanford during WWII and how beautiful it was. He was stationed on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay while in the Navy. I always wanted to see what he was talking about. As a result, about 10 years ago, while on a work related trip to Redwood, I drove to Treasure Island while on the way in. My flight out was a redeye, leaving me 12 hours to bum around. I ended up spending time at the tide pools, eating fish on the coast, and also spent a few hours walking around the Stanford campus. It was gorgeous, and very different from Ann Arbor, to my way of thinking. It reminded me just a bit of the ND campus in South Bend, except much prettier setting, and nicer buildings. I love Ann Arbor, but Stanford seems much more clear of a defined campus than UofM, with such a gorgeous physical setting. Can't blame anyone who goes there, especially on a scholarship. [Title]

Output: Stanford campus is gorgeous


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I was intrigued by your statement, in how it reflected Patrick Omameh, "who all started quite a few games on some really good Michigan teams." So I did a bit of checking myself. If I calculated right, he was in the last group recruited by Carr, and was here for 3 years of RR & 2 years of Hoke. I think Omameh outshined his 2 star rating, but I would be hard-pressed to call any of those teams "good." I guess you could call Hoke's first year good. Omameh doesn't surprise me in being an outlier, being that he didn't play football until 9th grade, and came from Nigeria. It will be interesting to see if he sticks with the Bucs, and how long he lasts. Being that he started 16 games for them last year, the prospects are pretty good. Regarding your chart, it is a great start. In the final analysis, you can often do a little digging, and see some who really are overrated and some who are underrated. This is where we'll see Harbaugh and his staff's coaching and talent evaluation ability (or lack thereof.) Personally, seeing guys in person, at camps, around the country, seems a brilliant way to identify talent and uncover those missed by other scouts. It will be fascinating to see how Dytarious Johnson, Sean McKeon, Josh Metellus, Antwaine Richardson, and Rashad Weaver do in their senior year of High School as well as at Michigan. If four of them bump up in ratings (one already has,) and two of them shine at Michigan, it will prove the value of summer swarm. [Title]

Output: Omameh


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Body] My head is spinning. First Bredeson, now Metellus, possibly two more from Flanagan? WOW! Is that a set of triple commits from Flanagan? Or triplet commits? Or, if we count Bredeson, quads? I don't care what is called, it is all good, and Ace is putting in OT. [Title]

Output: Pairs? Triplets? Quads?


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Title] No love for cookout? [Body]

Output: Never had In-N-Out, but I like Five Guys. But having recently moved to Raleigh, I can say that Cookout is the shit. Simple, flame-broiled burgers for cheap. Mmmmmm


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Proud UMF grad [Body]

Output: I think you're generalizing a bit too much. I am a UMF grad and I claim to be an alumnus of the University of Michigan because that's what my degree says. But on my CV, Linkedin, etc. and if anyone asks, without hesitation I tell them I graduated from Flint. No, it's not the same campus or admission standards (for sure), but smart people come from everywhere. I was admitted to Ann Arbor for undergrad, but it was MUCH cheaper for me to live at home and commute to Flint. In my field (chemistry), the ACS standardizes the curriculum for a certified degree and it's the same at every university. The same core concepts are convered and I guarantee that I could take any chem class in Ann Arbor and get all As just like I did in Flint. I'm now getting my PhD from NC State because I like the research that I'm doing here with a faculty member that's in an NSF collaboration with some of the best people in the country, including Melanie Sanford in AA. But having "Flint" on my degree didn't stop me from also being admitted to AA, Wisconsin, Washington, and UNC for grad school. Oh, I also had an NSF fellowship as an undergrad. There are definitely people who try to "fake" going to AA, and I don't condone that at all. But your elitist attitude toward this subject is why many people view UM grads as arrogant and entitled. I'm an alumnus of the university and I do my best to represent it as well as I can. I wish everyone else could say the same. I hope my accomplishments are "polished" enough, because I'd love to climb up onto that horse with you.

Output: That picture of Funchess is amazing. New desktop background.


Input: [Date] 1 year 48 weeks ago [Title] Thank-you for saying what [Body]

Output: Thank-you for saying what needed to be said. They don't give out the numbers for the benefit of the fans. It's a great honor for the players and draws attention to the great tradition at Michigan. And for those complaining about players making their own legacy, they could always use the number from before the switch. If Gallon really does do enough to have #10 put into Legends circulation, then they can use that number. BUT, do you then honor Gallon or Tom Brady? I gurantee people wouldn't be screaming "get off my lawn" if Gallon had been awarded the #1.....


Input: [Date] 1 year 51 weeks ago [Title] The only ads in the stadium I [Body]

Output: The only ads in the stadium I would care about would be the ones on the video board. Stadiums that use 30% of the board for advertisements are just plain ugly. Other than that, I don't care about advertising. Vendors are all over the place peddling merchandise and services. The game program is basically just an ad book with a roster and a player profile. I don't think you'll ever see the stadium being "plastered" with ads.

Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] All Conference Lists [Body]

Output: Can we get an All B1G list based on selections by Brian, Ace, and Heiko? I feel like it would be much more accurate and fair than the official pile of crap lists. It seems like the people selecting (even the coaches) don't know jack.

Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Agreed [Body]

Output: Good read. I find it utterly ironic that Dantonio said that line about "where's the threat" because as I recall, it was him that said "pride comes before the fall" after Hart immortalized the little brother terminology in 2007.....

Output: I think I've fixed the spreadsheet, judging by what people had entered into each field. All the column headings should be correct now.

Output: I wish McDonough could call all our games. IMO he just has that voice you want in someone who's commentating. I can still hear "TOUCHDOWN!! GREG MATHEWS!!!" in my head every time I think of McDonough.


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Title] I'll venture a bold guess and [Body]

Output: I'll venture a bold guess and say Marian the Librarian, because we'll badly need our secondary to perform well if the revamped DL can't get pressure by themselves.


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Title] Uh-oh, Brian put "informative [Body]

Output: Uh-oh, Brian put "informative update" in all caps. The pressure's on, Ace!!!

Output: along the same line, i love how he just says "Ohio". Great to see that these kids have that attitude already


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

Output: While I agree the joke is harmless and not really that bad, I just wouldn't want to be a recruit that saw that type of talk on here. Not saying we we get a lot of them, but it's possible. I agree that criticism of the staff is sometimes warranted (I do it too), but not when it comes to the abilities of a player. I think in this particular scenario they've earned our trust. But how does JUB put it? UM fans are more like opera critics than football fans? ;)


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

Output: I really don't like that we're criticizing the recruitment of Sypniewski so much. If the staff felt he deserved a scholarship, who are we to judge? Give the kid a chance. Just throwing that out there.


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Title] whoa pal [Body]

Output: Let's just agree on our love of all things Michigan and leave chemistry out of this. :)


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Title] Ya, but there's nothing wrong [Body]

Output: Ya, but there's nothing wrong with Wolfe. Nolta's like the standard for orgo, but Dr. Wolfe is a cool guy (as seen in the video above).


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Title] It's a good thing we obsess [Body]

Output: It's a good thing we obsess over football players' weights. If we did this with female athletes we might destroy some lives. haha

Output: Don't hockey players remove their helmets and gloves to intentionally deal blows to heads? Isn't that something that happens every game? And it's not like it's in the run of play.

Output: THUGS! CRIMINALS! ALL NHL PLAYERS!!


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Not to take anything away [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Title] 1.) Sport Management at [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Ok this is just inaccurate on [Body]

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

Output: With Baits unexpectedly closing in addition to the scheduled East Quad closing next year, Northwood I-III will be almost entirely freshman next year.

Output: Based on how Stanford has looked this season and their schedule, I wouldn't be surprised if they go undefeated and I highly doubt ND beats them.


Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Well, looks like Pitt and [Body]

Output: Well, looks like Pitt and Cuse to ACC are official according to ESPN bottom line, and potentially UConn and Rutgers to follow.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] The MLS is certainly growing, [Body]

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

Output: Argh


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] Lions aren't really [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 4 years 10 hours ago [Title] The Tigers don't have one [Body]

Output: The Tigers don't have one game left against the Red Sox, Yankees, Angels, or Rangers. This schedule should get them to the playoffs regardless. Once the playoffs start, the Tigers are way overmatched anyway.


Input: [Date] 4 years 10 hours ago [Title] Maybe if they were in any [Body]

Output: Maybe if they were in any other division, but since EVERYONE in the Central has a negative run margin, it's probably not a big deal.


Input: [Date] 4 years 19 hours ago [Title] I love hip hop but I know [Body]

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

Output: You'll be fine, I had similar grades and test scores, coming from out of state and this seemed higher than average. Out-of-state can get really interesting with these weird GPAs. I know in my county in Florida, there is no limit to how high it can go. Our valedictorian graduated with a 6.6 GPA, hard to compare that.

Output: Did you really just... insult my user name?


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Thank You. The NBA isn't [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] I like the NBA. At times 100% [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 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 22 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: 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 29 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

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]

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]

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?

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: If he tweeted that after the


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Maybe he didn't like how he phrased his response. It's not easy when people are picking apart every single word used in 140 character bursts, and looking for positive signals or something that suggests a lack of credibility. [Title]

Output: Maybe he didn't like how he


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I suggested to him that the 49ers would have been 7-4 at the time of these alleged initial discussions. He responded that it might explain why interest was low at that point. I responded again that it would have been an distraction (with Harbaugh reasonably focused on making the playoffs). He deleted his response to me. I'm not sure why. I always find that odd. [Title]

Output: I suggested to him that the


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 23 hours ago [Body] Brian has cited him in some of the coaching search updates. Moss has been around a long time. He has some sources. This isn't totally random internet rumormongering. [Title]

Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I think he first tweeted that day that the press conference would be held and that Brandon would be fired. It beat everyone else. It wasn't a random guess. And, he's not really in that business, from what I can tell. That said, I'm not the guy who you mock for buying every internet rumor that comes along. I totally get the skepticism. And, I don't care what you all believe. I'm just saying that the salt that goes with this report in particular should probably be of the grain and not the boulder variety. [Title]

Output: I think he first tweeted that


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I'm not saying he's right about this, but I think he had Brandon's firing before anyone else. Brian might vouch for that. [Title]

Output: I'm not saying he's right


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I think you are reading too much into it. Read the next sentence after he mentioned bowl games: "They may be in bowl games. They may be…you know, wherever they are in their status..." I don't think you can make any judgment at all about a pool of candidats limited to college coaches based on that statement. [Title]

Output: I think you are reading too


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 1 day ago [Body] This probably wasn't intended to be a diary, but I'll just point out that it seems unlikely to me that Harbaugh would be stupid enough to go to Miami given the acrimony in that front office. Have you read the backstory on Aponte? It doesn't sound like she's going anywhere, and if that's true, Harbaugh would be jumping from one bad situation to another. I'm not sure even Ross's money could paper that over. [Title]

Output: This probably wasn't intended


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Great. Well, then the problem was either provider-specific (which AT&T denied) or it was an issue in certain pockets of the city. [Title]

Output: Great. Well, then the


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 1 day ago [Body] There was a problem with the broadcast in the Atlanta area (and possibly others). They screwed up the regional coverage such that ABC and ESPN2 were both showing Texas A&M vs. SMU. This continued until some point in the 3rd quarter when the complaints must have finally bubbled up to the people who fix these sorts of things. At that point, the UM game became available on ESPN2. [Title]

Output: There was a problem with the

Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Body] Year 3 under Rodriguez is identical to Year 3 under Hoke. We have not improved. Also, we could easily be 4-7 right now. Some of those wins are functional losses. But tell me more about how great things are... [Title]

Output: Year 3 under Rodriguez is


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 days ago [Body] It looks like Benoit will continue to close (from Danny Knobler on Twitter - I can't embed for some reason): @DannyKnoblerCBS Tigers will keep Benoit as closer, use Veras along with Smyly in the 7th and 8th innings. [Title]

Output: It looks like Benoit will

Output: Michigan 38 - ND 31


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] I'm guessing "DB" isn't "wondering what happened to Beilein and the program in such a short time frame" because Dave Brandon is smart enough not to evaluate the status of a major program by only looking at a three week period in which nothing that could be construed by any reasonable person as "negativity breed[ing] negativity" took place. [Title]

Output: I'm guessing "DB" isn't

Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Body] No, I'm well aware of the last four years, thanks. As I said above, I just think this is overkill. I don't think that's that controversial of an opinion. [Title]

Output: No, I'm well aware of the


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Body] For what reason do they need to travel around the country and "get the former players pumped up?" I'm not being a smartass. I really don't see why it's necessary. I'm not saying they need to spend all of their time watching film like has been suggested above. [Title]

Output: For what reason do they need

Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Body] I don't understand why this is necessary or a valuable use of the coaches' time. I understand the perceived need to "mend fences" or whatever, but if this is true, it seems to be overkill. [Title]

Output: Let's just watch the spring


Input: [Date] 4 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Butler lost two starters and they were pretty important. Gordon Heyward was their best player and a lottery pick in last year's NBA draft. Willie Veasley (who now plays in Japan) was a critical defender that, like Heyward, could guard almost anyone. Their struggles early this season were almost entirely related to defense. They've found a way to make up for those losses. [Title]

Output: Butler lost two starters and


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I agree with this. Stand all [Body]

Output: I agree with this. Stand all you want during key plays and touchdowns, but it can really ruin the experience for anyone who is not 6 ft tall or doesn't have the knees to stand and sit all the time.


Input: [Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Title] Nik hits a 3 vs State this [Body]

Output: Nik hits a 3 vs State this year at home and forces a timeout because Crisler is losing its mind. His mom (seen on TV) quips, "He's mad now"


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Title] Should I be worried about [Body]

Output: Should I be worried about this? Tickets for the semifinals session are ~$50 at this point on Stubhub. I can't imagine paying that much on the street just to get in

Output: There were quite a few instances at the game of me grabbing my knees and an "I cant do this"


Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Title] If we lose to both of those [Body]

Output: If we lose to both of those teams, I'll be shocked. That would say more about us than a loss to state. I fully expect this team to regroup. The 2010 psu game was definitely the turning point, but that team had just come off of two losses that they didn't really have much of a shot in (save some late game throws by Forcier vs Iowa). I would say that these next 3 weeks are the proverbial Penn State 2010 for this team. They are expected to win and they should win against lesser opponents and failing to do so would certainly fuel the offseason chatter about the staff.


Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Title] Well they're 7-1 with a great [Body]

Output: Well they're 7-1 with a great defense. I don't see how that doesn't make them good. When you're starting from the 50 most of the time like they did yesterday, you're going to score points. Comparing scores is irrelevant. We scored 59 on CMU and 28 on Akron but CMU is better than Akron. It's not so black and white


Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Title] MSU is a good team. I'll [Body]

Output: MSU is a good team. I'll hold my judgment til the end of the season. We still have 3 very winnable games on the schedule leading to osu. 9-3 is not so unrealistic and I think everyone would have been good with that record coming into this year.


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] Not sure if trolling [Body]

Output: Bill Murray used the term "Cinderella Story" in Caddyshack to refer to an underdog winning. So underdogs are Cinderella. Cinderella went to the ball also known as a dance. Hence, the big dance.

Output: Provided Michigan beats Kansas and Gulf Coast beats Florida, on a scale of 1-10 how crushed would you be if they beat Michigan? Gotta admit it'd be fun to see this team in the final four, no matter how big the dong punch.

Output: You might want to rethink that last sentence


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] I respect him for saying [Body]

Output: I respect him for saying that. Last year was kind of a perfect storm for a tourney loss. Quality wins all year, a B1G share, being almost basket away from a sweet 16 the year before, and an overrated seed that we didn't deserve. I can't really blame them for taking a MAC team lightly. Tourney experience will help the team this year since Trey and Tim and co. will have the idea of how easy it is to go home fresh in their minds.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Can we get a travel call? [Body]

Output: Not a specific sports-instance for one, but everything this symbolized and reflecting on it now is pretty cool.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] I like to remember the [Body]

Output: I like to remember the Wisconsin game a few years back--the infamous "backboard game." The season seemed lost and everything hopeless, but everyone remembers that season for the tournament (The Eulogy of Bruce Pearl and KICK IT OUT TO STU, DARIUS!). The season's not over and there's still a lot of basketball to be played. Beilein has seen low points in a season and has seen his teams recover well.

Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] 1.) I think there are [Body]

Output: 1.) I think there are certain SEC programs that 'dirty' recruit players (e.g. "friendly" coeds and the like), but would guess that the number of SEC schools offering cash to players is pretty low and not much above average compared to the rest of the country. 2.)If there was more Ben Franklin handshakes, then I think more people would come forward than just the "he said, she said" stories that are usually passed down through the grapevine. Just one man's opinion

Output: Apparently Dawson may have thrown a punch against Purdue. Hard to tell from the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo-Xtlhhre0&feature=player_embedded Regardless, fun to read Sparty's justification of it. One guy said that (if it was a punch), it was deserved because of the way the Purdue player played dirty the moment before and Dawson was just doing what anyone would do. Deja Vu, eh?


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] If confirmed, it would make [Body]

Output: If confirmed, it would make for a pretty pessimistic offseason for MSU. Please be true.


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Criticizing the decision is [Body]

Output: Criticizing the decision is fine (i.e. USC's situation, coach, what would appeal to him about playing there, etc.), but too often people on this site and elsewhere get so caught up in it that they resort to namecalling, putdowns, or wild speculations (e.g. "Michigan is a much better fit for him, School X must be paying him. School X is a bunch of cheaters). In the end, you may disagree with the presumed reasons that a recruit picked a school, but only the kid and his family know the real reasons and made the decision they felt was best for them. Even if you don't think it was the best for them, you have to respect the decision.


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Good luck to him. Can't blow [Body]

Output: Good luck to him. Can't blow up at every missed recruit


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Not necessarily "rooting". [Body]

Output: Not necessarily "rooting". There's no denying it's good for their program. As far as "learning from mistakes", I am hopeful that the precedent has been set for universities so that nothing like this will happen again in the manner that this took place. PSU didn't get a slap on the wrist (though if anyone was rooting for the death penalty, then anything would seem minor in comparison). Furthermore, I find the lawsuit to be disappointing, but the university has made it clear that it is not affiliated with it in any way, so I would say that it's fair to assume they university learned their lesson.

Output: He has been in the conversations for a lot of open NFL head coach spots. Per ESPN, he was on the Browns and Eagles short list and had some interest from San Diego and Arizona http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8811109/cleveland-browns-interviewed-p...

Output: the score is a bit misleading. There's no doubt we dominated, but Eastern spent the last 8 minutes or so just chucking up shots with no semblance of offense.

Output: Can't wait to draft a WR who was "the best player available" because we have so much depth at other positions that we can just draft whoever we want

Output: So at this point in which I'm writing, Nevada has run 75 plays and had 32 first downs. They're getting a first down on 42% of their plays and scored on 4 of those plays. Wow

Output: "Nebraska may consider taking a safety here." LOLWUT What a ridiculous idea


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] I get spacy during games and [Body]

Output: I get spacy during games and get bothered really easily (e.g. there was a college age girl who sat behind me at the Iowa game who wouldn't shut up the whole time.). It especially bothers me to be around people actively cheering for the other team. I'd rather watch from the comfort of my own living room and not worry about anything other than the game.

Output: Wasn't there, but got pissed with 10 mins left in the Darius Morris Duke game. Tuned in to see the last play and missed all the build up. Did the same thing with 2009 MSU

Output: If only Denard had Gardner's scrambling instincts. DG does a good job of trying to run if the pass is not there instead of hanging in the pocket, but there are times where he's trying to do too much (re: yakety sax pt 2 to Dileo). Gotta think it's the result of DG running the spread at Inkster while Denard was in a pro style.

Output: Maybe it's time to give the guy a break. Some of his antics are pretty funny, but being a lame duck coach and having something like this go on cannot be a very high point in his life.

Output: lol wut


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Ehh, that was the first time [Body]

Output: Ehh, that was the first time they'd ever run the play in a game and the D didn't know what to expect. Correct me if I'm wrong, but every time Denard's pitched it (which is only a head-scratchingly few times), it hasn't gone for more than a few yards.


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Title] even if it's in the student [Body]

Output: even if it's in the student section? the reason i ask is because stubhub doesn't have any tix listed there (just in case i need to sell it)

Output: I have an opportunity to buy a student ticket for $200 to the msu game I want it but there's a possibility I may not be able to go. Is it going to be a problem to resell it? (i'm not a student)

Output: Can anybody think of an instance where a crowd has cost a team a game like this? (Assuming BYU came back? and won?)


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Title] Don't look now, but MSU's [Body]

Output: Don't look now, but MSU's marquee win vs BSU is looking a little less appealing right now. Only up 15-9 on Miami (NTM) at the half at home.


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Title] Can anyone talk a little [Body]

Output: Can anyone talk a little about the stadium walk with the band? I'm going later in November to Iowa with my mom and I'd love to get the whole experience. How long before kickoff does it start?


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Title] Wasn't able to watch the game [Body]

Output: Wasn't able to watch the game live, so this is great. Seems like everyone is down on Smith for the INT, but Denard has the D-Line sealed and a lane up field. Scramble!

Output: I would guess hazing related


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] It's hard not to phrase this [Body]

Output: It's hard not to phrase this where I sound cynical, but all I see are a bunch of returns to the 25 (minus one or two). He had a few nice ones, but he also had one where he got crushed because he stopped moving his feet. Again, not trying to be cynical, just wondering what people see in him (in terms of vision, speed, etc.) to make us think he's our guy.

Output: Even so, I'm sure his release has stipulations about not transferring in-conference

Output: What is going on with the voice-over in the stadium? It sounds like live commentary


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Title] I didn't like it, either, but [Body]

Output: I didn't like it, either, but it could have just been Bielema talking out of his ass. What the Saints did was organized and over a long period of time. Bielema isn't the first coach to do something like this *coughDantoniocough* and he won't be the last.

Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Title] The principle was the same, [Body]

Output: The principle was the same, though. Hoke saw his opportunity and took it, knowing that it's not a sure thing he'd get the offer again. Like i said, how do we know Trey doesn't have a THjr-like season next yr with a different offensive focus and have his stock plummet?


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Title] So where were the torches and [Body]

Output: So where were the torches and pitchforks when Manningham and Arrington left? As far as I'm concerned, those guys are still "Michigan Men." You can be mad about the situation, but don't be mad at the guy. The game is a business. How does Trey know that he won't have a THjr-type season next year that will set him back in terms of draft stock? "When you make a decision that promotes your own interests over the interests of your teammates and the University, however reasonable that decision may be, the community has every right to be angry with you and act accordingly. Those who stay will be champions, not only on the field/court but also in the hearts and minds of their fans." We laughed at SDSU fans who called Brady Hoke a traitor for leaving for his dream job. How is this any different?


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Title] Your last two isentences contradict each other. [Body]

Output: You really don't owe him anything? He lead this team to a co-B1G title. You at least owe him a thank you. If now is when he wants to take his shot at the league, so be it. It's his decision. It might have been Morris last year who was so disgusted at the Michigan fanbase for the way they turned on him when he announced.


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Title] Holy shit, people. "Our [Body]

Output: Holy shit, people. "Our program can't catch any breaks." "Good luck in the D league." "Young...Immature...Bad decision...blah blah blah." How about taking the time to appreciate the kid and what he's done. He's made a big decision about something he's dreamed about since he was young. If you don't like the decision, at least respect it. Don't rag on the kid just because you won't be able to talk a little extra shit to your coworkers this offseason. This kid owes you nothing and to some of the responses here, that's what you deserve.


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Title] To be fair, the Wonderlich is [Body]

Output: To be fair, the Wonderlich is an aptitude test. Aptitude is not quite the same as intelligence, though they are related. The bigger question is why the NFL continues to give this test. People who score low can do well in the NFL while people who score highly can flame out.


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Title] This video is the first bit [Body]

Output: This video is the first bit of info EA has released about this game. They are scheduling gradual reveals of what this game will have every few weeks.


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Title] Easier said than done. Where [Body]

Output: Easier said than done. Where else can I play an NCAA football game? For as bad as the gameplay can be, EA does a good job introducing new features in the game each year (Coaching Carousel, Contracts)


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Title] I was in season 17 of an 8 [Body]

Output: I was in season 17 of an 8 user OD when the file decided to stop working. After contacting customer support, the only thing they could tell us was to start over. The only reason I'll buy '13 is because I don't want to lose the dynasty I'm in when they all advance to next year's game


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Title] Michigan is pretty good in [Body]

Output: Michigan is pretty good in '12, though it's almost guaranteed that Denard gets hurt at some point in the game.


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Awkward celebration jump into [Body]

Output: Awkward celebration jump into nobody by the guy in the hoodie at 2:15


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Title] I think he is holding out (if [Body]

Output: I think he is holding out (if he ever plans on moving) for a destination job like Duke, UK, UNC, etc. Illinois is a middle-of-the-pack B1G team. Even if he returns the program to 2005-like levels, it's still Illinois and the big schools will still be calling. The way I see it, a job like Illinois can do more harm than good for Smart. If he does well, it'll be no surprise, but if he does poorly, then his name won't mean so much once the big schools start calling.


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Title] From what I've read, Martin [Body]

Output: From what I've read, Martin has a good relationship with a lot of south Florida high school coaches. Not sure if he'd go to Illinois, but hey, he did go to an SEC bottom feeder.


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Title] If this were an option for [Body]

Output: If this were an option for him, I would think he would have waited to see what Burke does before leaving


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Sexual assault can happen in [Body]

Output: Sexual assault can happen in many ways, not just man on woman. Anyway, I feel this thread can only go downhill. I hope the mods have the good sense to delete it


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Title] I think an intern would be a [Body]

Output: I think an intern would be a great idea (pending Brian's approval, of course). How would their job differ from Ace or Heiko's, though?


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Title] What was that kid trying to [Body]

Output: What was that kid trying to do at 2:54? A alley oop to himself or just a bad shot?


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Title] An alternative thread title [Body]

Output: An alternative thread title could be: "Everyone calm the fuck down"


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Title] I ask you and others [Body]

Output: Please stop trying to thinly analogize what I said with implications of sexual assault.


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Title] I forgot about the Cincy [Body]

Output: I forgot about the Cincy player. Interesting viewpoint.


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Title] That's not what I said at [Body]

Output: That's not what I said at all. The player deserves everything he gets. I am just wondering why the band was still there when the players were running onto the field as that is not something that should happen.


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Title] Is it a malicious act? [Body]

Output: Is it a malicious act? Absolutely. A bigger question is what the hell was the band still doing on the field at that point? Terrible communication by the stadium crew. The whole event could have been avoided. Even if he doesn't hit the kid, someone still could have been hurt.


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Title] Some people have pointed to [Body]

Output: Some people have pointed to the Lions drafting a certain position this April, but do you think they will do the "best player available" strategy again and go against the people's wishes for as long as I've been paying attention to the Lions (MOAR CBs and OL)? I wonder if being higher up in the draft will mean that the Lions hone in on need instead of adding additional talent to a position group.


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] This guy's rich if you didn't [Body]

Output: This guy's rich if you didn't pick up on it. As in, he has money. Did you read the part about the private suite? I liked the part about how much money he has.


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Girl just bid 5 dollars under [Body]

Output: Girl just bid 5 dollars under somebody. This is after she thought she'd won the previous round, but didn't realize the guy next do her did. She's not having a great day


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Lady totally got the easiest [Body]

Output: Lady totally got the easiest last spin. only needed to beat .35! Drew Carey is also slowly morphing into Bob Barker


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] The morning before March [Body]

Output: The morning before March Madness begins and ESPN is talking about Dwight Howard. Get off my lawn, ESPN


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Went to Dayton for the [Body]

Output: Went to Dayton for the 1st/2nd Round in 2009. Watching Siena beat Ohio State with a crazy 3 to force OT and another to win the game was insane. Lots of OSU fans at the game, so it was extra sweet.


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] You're reaching with the [Body]

Output: You're reaching with the Hardaway stuff. The kid has been riding his high school hype for 2 years now. He shoots about 50% from the FT line and plays lazy D. Don't want him


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Kid doesn't play a lot of D, [Body]

Output: Kid doesn't play a lot of D, has tunnel vision, has an almost 1:1 turnover/assist ratio, shoots less than 50% from the free throw line, and has had discipline problems. You can blame tunnel vision on trying to do too much because of who's around him, but how many guards can you name that shoot 46% from the field and only 49% from the line. That speaks volumes about his work ethic.


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] We don't want him. I've seen [Body]

Output: We don't want him. I've seen him play quite a few times this year. Kid isn't what he was hyped to be a few years ago.


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Why not use the $2000 to fly [Body]

Output: Why not use the $2000 to fly to nashville and watch UM play?


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] This is a bit more boring [Body]

Output: This is a bit more boring than I thought it'd be. 25 minutes in and they are just starting to talk about the announcement


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Played middle-school [Body]

Output: Played middle-school basketball. Everything I learned about football (both scheme and roster-wise), I learned from video games. Anybody remember Keith Jackson commentating on Gamebreaker 99 for playstation? Regardless, I know quite a bit about football, though I've never formally played.


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Title] 214 [Body]

Output: 214


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Though I don't necesarrily [Body]

Output: Though I don't necesarrily gravitate toward women's basketball, I appreciate the stress they put on fundamentals and playmaking. Not that men's bball doesn't focus on these things, but they are usually more easily recognized in women's games.


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Title] I love his confidence and [Body]

Output: I love his confidence and mentality, but wonder if GM's might worry about his personality in the locker room, especially if he's not seeing the field.


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Based on this article alone, [Body]

Output: Based on this article alone, I wouldn't say he has deep personality issues. It's more along the lines that he has the intelligence of a coach, but not the personality of one.


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Title] This puts a damper on [Body]

Output: This puts a damper on things.


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Title] WVU's student section looking [Body]

Output: WVU's student section looking like they wanna fight Marquette's coach in the postgame interview! Security got there in a hurry haha


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Title] huzzah! [Body]

Output: huzzah!


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Title] I don't see how you can be [Body]

Output: I don't see how you can be disappointed in his resistance to night games when he was responsible for scheduling one up in the first place. He just wants the night games to be special. Brandon is not the only AD in the country, either, who schedules neutral site games (LSU-Oregon last year).


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Title] The game itself against State [Body]

Output: The game itself against State under the lights would be great. But whatever the outcome, there seems to be more bad blood between Sparty and UM fans which, given a whole day to drink, puts a lot of pressure on the police force and the city itself to maintain peace between both fanbases. I am not saying ND fans aren't passionate, but it's a different kind of passion when it comes to MSU-UM.


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Title] DB essentially said a night [Body]

Output: DB essentially said a night game would never happen vs MSU because of crowd control and public safety. That said, I wouldn't mind seeing Wisconsin, Nebraska, or Iowa over the next few years


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Title] It was the 2007 coaching [Body]

Output: It was the 2007 coaching search and I was reading something by Rittenburg on ESPN. I looked in the corner of the page and Mgoblog was listed as a relevant team blog. Still remember the "Profiles in Cronyism" post about Hoke coming to Michigan after Lloyd left.


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Title] That's Braylon with a cigar [Body]

Output: That's Braylon with a cigar in his mouth


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Title] I didn't say they were a bad [Body]

Output: I didn't say they were a bad team, but they don't strike me as a 1 seed. I don't know if I'm reading it right but they're ranked 76 in Kenpom's SOS and from an eye test only have a handful of good wins


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Mizzou as a 1 seed? I don't [Body]

Output: Mizzou as a 1 seed? I don't buy it
