Input: [Date] 5 years 6 weeks ago [Body] I talked to Denard at the Domino's pizza on Main Street the weekend before last. I was wearing a Michigan football shirt, so he asked me if I was going to any games this year. I told him all of them, and Penn State too. So we talked about how that's going to be a night game, and how cool it's going to be to play Notre Dame at night in the Big House next year. He asked me what grade I'm in and when I said I just graduated but am going to grad school and will be here a while, he responded that hopefully I'll see a national championship soon! He had just been coming into the store a second time to get some extra ranch sauce, and when he left, I told the girl working there that he was the Michigan Football quarterback. She said, "Oh, that's who it was... He walked in here and asked, 'Do you know who I am? I'm Denard.' And I was like, Hi, Denard." I thought that was pretty funny. I was going to post this story on here right after it happened, but I thought it would get a lot of "that's a cool story, man" sarcastic responses. But since you asked... [Title]

Output: Denard: National Championship for Michigan soon


Input: [Date] 5 years 6 weeks ago [Body] Actually, the bye week has already been implemented. Starting this year, the Big Ten is extending play to the 13th week of the season with each team having a bye week. This pushes the Michigan-Ohio State game to Thanksgiving weekend, which could affect attendance (don't get me wrong, I still expect 110,000+ sellouts, but it's going to lead to some students skipping UM-OSU who attend the games for social reasons primarily). The Big Ten made this change to deal with criticism that B10 football ends too soon before the other conferences. [Title]

Output: Bye week


Input: [Date] 5 years 7 weeks ago [Body] This does not sound good. Shame on the Athletics Department and Admissions Office for not getting this figured out before the offer was made. And shame on the Detroit/Ann Arbor media for likely ruining this kid's chance to make a new life for himself in Michigan. One of the reasons it was expected Dorsey was coming here was to get away from a negative environment in Florida with his peers. If he ends up in a D1 program like FSU, it might not provide him the opportunity he would have at Michigan. This is not the time for the University to further vindicate the "investigative reporting" of the local media. [Title]

Output: This does not sound good.


Input: [Date] 5 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Smaller football programs that lose money already would still have a problem, but the NCAA could cap the amount that players would be paid. This would at least limit competition based on pay between big-time programs. This might limit some blue chip recruits from going to lesser programs for the opportunity for earlier playing time, but I think there would be a similar pecking order of schools going after recruits to what we see now. The programs that would be able to afford the maximum player stipend would usually be the successful ones that top recruits are interested in anyways. [Title]

Output: Smaller football programs


Input: [Date] 5 years 11 weeks ago [Body] I think what it shows is that it's not worth going for it on 4th down from around the 45 until you get into field goal range. If you miss, they have excellent field position. If you make it, they only have about 4-5 yards worse field position than if you had just punted from where you were on 4th down within the 45. This wouldn't be true if the extra ten yards that could be attempted after getting a first down would make a field goal likely, but in that range of the field (30-45 yard line), punting position should not be a factor when deciding whether to go for 4th down. [Title]

Output: I think what it shows is that


Input: [Date] 5 years 13 weeks ago [Body] If the purpose of advertising during football games is to donate to Mott, I'd be OK with it even during the season, and by that measure advertising during the spring game to donate is something I can support too. I just see this and the expected Big Chill ads as the first step towards advertising in the Big House for football games to provide revenue for the program, not for donations. If they only stick to advertising for donations or for negative revenue events like the spring game or the Big Chill, then they're doing everything right. We'll just have to see how many seasons it is before we have "Allstate" on the field goal netting and an Arby's logo next to the block M on the scoreboard. [Title]

Output: Ads


Input: [Date] 5 years 14 weeks ago [Body] I'm beginning to get concerned about this advertising. Advertising in the Big House for spring practice and the Big Chill is a slippery slope. Just because there's money to be made doesn't mean it's worth breaking this tradition. I know David Brandon is a savvy businessman and he's looking to increase revenues, but they need to be careful about this. We were supposed to be able to afford the stadium expansion without corporate advertising, or at least that's what was said when the idea was sold. The other item of note from that press release I see is that a website is going to be launched tomorrow featuring "Victor the talking puck". [Title]

Output: Advertising


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] death to pom poms [Body]

Output: It turned out OK, but, at the start the game there was a woman a few rows ahead of me in Section 5. She had hoarded approximately 8 pom poms and had clumped them all together so it looked like she was shaking an enormous fuzzy meatball on a stick, blocking the view of the game for many people behind her. One of said guys behind me, after the first kickoff says, "I gotta say something to her!" and convinced her that her pom pom-ing was excessive. She yielded and everyone went about their merry way.


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Video boards [Body]

Output: continue to confuse me. Not only is the person in charge of the game info such as down and yards-to-go wrong nearly every time, but the lack of stats until garbage time isn't helpful. At least twice my brother noticed the video board stat guy thought Umass was going the opposite direction and ticked off the yardage in the wrong direction. Surely they can create an overlay-style system that puts one long transparent band across the bottom of the screen displaying down and yards plus stats. Then use the bottom mini video display for player stats (correct me if I'm wrong but it currently only shows Player X's name and class and hometown), and other game stats. That Sparty ranter has a good point, and in our case, that mini screen underneath the board can be better used instead of putting "DEFENSE" and "MARCHING-BAND" on it.


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Title] happier note [Body]

Output: anyone else think the home unis looked super sharp? reminded me of the old school black/blue mix color from the 90s instead of last year's different shade of blue. unless it was just the sun playing tricks on me...


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] right where we want 'em [Body]

Output: It makes for a more satisfying season when Michigan climbs the polls anyway. We all know #8 was too high and it showed. Being ranked high for week 1 is often a curse for Michigan (2002 win vs. Washington the lone exception I can think of). Can't wait to see them leap back into the top 12 to 15 after the Notre Dame game. Speaking of ND, anyone else shocked they didn't somehow make it into the top 15 after winning one game? Those AP voters are losing their marbles! Or maybe it's the coaches' poll...


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] a few bowl opponents [Body]

Output: I don't think anyone has mentioned the '05 Rose Bowl loss to Texas. No, it wasn't a beatdown but that was a loaded Texas team with Vince Young running all over us. 2006 USC was also extremely good, and a better team than 2007 Oregon. Hope I'm getting my years correct. Even though I was young that '91 FSU game sticks out. Whew what a team.

Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Anyone besides me wondering [Body]

Output: Anyone besides me wondering if Adidas made crappy receiver gloves just like the jerseys and the ball slips out of their hands? I began to hope for non-gimmicky gloves that actually allow people to play football instead of just looking cool. But then again the running backs haven't been fumbling like mad, just made me wonder if Michigan needs an equipment adjustment.


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Apologies if this was already [Body]

Output: Apologies if this was already pointed out earlier in the thread...but, oddly, when I asked my Dad if there was an abundance of piped-in music to the point of ridiculousness, he said he didn't really notice. He sits in the corner opposite the band, so maybe in that part of the stadium it isn't as overbearing? I'm attending Nebraska and OSU this season so I'm curious to find out for myself if that's true. On TV though it is unbearable, since all the sound travels up and their microphones are like mounted on the outside of the press box so it catches it all really clearly and makes me want to watch games on mute :(


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] ...because it is. And the [Body]

Output: ...because it is. And the players don't know how to run said gimmick plays properly, so they're creating the giveaway to opposing defenses that if Gardner is taking the snap, prepare for a de facto punt.


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] All we can do is just not [Body]

Output: All we can do is just not watch the show, I know I'm not going to. Poor choice for the game of the week, I think Auburn-LSU would have been better. Gameday is gonna have to call in the extra security strength to handle all the couch-burning and violence.


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Endorse this comment. The [Body]

Output: Endorse this comment. The whole problem was Dantonio acting like that was the worst thing ever said about his program in the history of the universe, and making everyone in EL dwell on it for the last 4 years. Hoke kicked his ass in recruiting for next year and MSU will go 2-4 the rest of the way just like always, and act like that's a satisfying season. Little brother they shall remain for all eternity. Keep the saying.


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] 6 personal fouls for 90 [Body]

Output: 6 personal fouls for 90 yards' worth by my count, on top of the rest of the 11 penalties that they incurred for the game.


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] The last time Gameday was at [Body]

Output: The last time Gameday was at Oregon they had a pretty raucus crowd for the 10am airtime, even though they go live before sunrise. But I agree, Oregon-ASU is a lame matchup. They said on their Twitter account they were gonna go to Pullman for Wazzou's game this week until they blew a lead in their game last weeked. That would have been more interesting IMO :(

Output: If you were to buy the Kindle version, if you get annoyed at the lack of color just use the Kindle Cloud Reader app on Chrome, that is usually full color. Just as good as reading it on an iPad. And besides, the new Kindle Fire is coming in November so you'd be able to transfer it to that device!

Output: Did someone go up to him and was like, "Hi Dan! How's your bod??"


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Hilarious play [Body]

Output: in the NDSU-Minn game. NDSU picked off Minnesota, ran it back a ways, the guy got tackled but fumbled the ball behind him and a teammate picked it up and ran the rest of the way to the endzone to close out the half. Minnesota is looking awful right now.


Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Difficult to decide which [Body]

Output: Difficult to decide which team has the more terrible QB. Harris is an INT machine kind of like Drew Tate or an ND quarterback Bauserman is like on par with Steven Threet, only worse because OSU's receivers are decent and he still can't hit them or get away from pressure. If the NCAA had any sense they'd just strike this game from the record books for this season


Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Title] small pet peeve [Body]

Output: notice they weren't putting the score or the downs onscreen during the highlights? Really irritating. I miss Michigan Replay too much I guess :/


Input: [Date] 3 years 46 weeks ago [Title] I don't think that's the [Body]

Output: I don't think that's the right outlook. And recall RR had a comeback win over ND last year and the year before, and Wisconsin in 2008? Indiana in 2009? 4 comeback wins in three seasons is a pretty good ratio.


Input: [Date] 3 years 46 weeks ago [Title] wondering [Body]

Output: if there is any noticeable differences in the experience of watching a replay on BTN vs. ESPN Classic ? I haven't watched anything on Classic in years but I just discovered I get it on my cable service. Does anyone have a preference for rebroadcasts? Does it matter?


Input: [Date] 3 years 46 weeks ago [Title] After waking up [Body]

Output: and making sure we weren't all being Inception'd and dreaming within a dream that we won that game, I watched a repeat of Gameday Final 'cause I missed the opening segment with our game's highlights. Denard took that game over, and our clan of receivers have earned my proverbial helmet sticker for getting their act together and catching everything thrown at them in the second half. tangent observation: I was so confused who was on the field throughout the game due to the jerseys not having names on the back. Plus, I didn't realize a few of the guys changed numbers so I was spending the majority of the defensive possessions figuring out who was making those big plays in the second half! Damn you, pizza dave!


Input: [Date] 3 years 46 weeks ago [Title] seriously [Body]

Output: ESPN really dropped the ball with that. Their big primetime game was starting and they didn't bother to bump the silly SEC matchup over to another channel? The alumni bar I was at in DC had to resort to putting the ESPN3 stream on, with no sound for a bit, until that damn game ended. I hate the SEC!!!


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 8 hours ago [Body] I'd feel worse for him staying on the Kings. Both franchises have been awful on the court, but the Sixers have a (very tenuous) path forward, which Nik could potentially be a part of. I don't see any evidence at all of such a path with Sacramento. [Title]

Output: I'd feel worse for him


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 8 hours ago [Body] Yeah, I dunno, I'd probably decide on "better franchise" based on something along the lines of their respective chances of being late-round playoff teams in the next five or so years. By that metric, I'd go with the Sixers. Who could be all means continue being terrible. But given their assets -- lottery 5s and otherwise -- I think they def have a better chance of breaking through than do the Kings. [Title]

Output: Yeah, I dunno, I'd probably


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 2 days ago [Body] The occurance of disasters is an excellent prompt to donate, and I also encourage everyone who can to do so. I'd also encourage everyone to do some research about where their money is going and how it's likely to be used. Specifically, I'd strongly encourage givers to resist the urge in give in such a way that their money is earmarked for Nepalese disaster relief. The bottleneck in providing immediate disaster relief is generally not money (as we saw in post-earthquake Haiti, post-Sandy NY, post-tsunami Japan, etc.), and making generalized donations now can help improve the responses available for future disasters. Along these lines, Felix Salmon, in the aftermath of Sandy, made what I thought was a strong case for giving to MSF rather than the Red Cross: "Which isn’t to say that donating money is a bad idea, when disasters hit. But it is to say that donating money to the Red Cross might not be the best use of your dollars. My advice is to give instead to MSF, or an organization like it, which is dealing with disasters every day of the year. That gave them the experience ability to respond quickly when disaster struck in the USA — and it also means that if your money would be put to more urgent use somewhere else, like Zimbabwe or Honduras or Chad, then that’s where it will go. We should spend as much money as is needed here — but don’t force the matter and earmark $117 million for Sandy relief, when no one knows whether even the Red Cross thinks it can sensibly spend that much. The Red Cross didn’t need to promise to spend all that money on Sandy and Sandy alone, but it made that promise anyway." [Title]

Output: The occurance of disasters is


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Body] This point tends to get carried too far. No reasonable idea of usefulness would reduce to immediate and specific vocational preparation. Case in point: the training that a good student receives in a good philosophy department (cultivating, namely, the ability to think precisely and to manage complex ideas) can be of enormous value, both in a variety of employment contexts and in the general practice of citizenship. [Title]

Input: [Date] 19 weeks 6 days ago [Body] So in otherwords: you like the aspect of the uniform that looks very much like a million other uniforms Michigan basketball has worn, but you're not a huge fan of the glaring dick-cumberbun that's been vomited onto the shorts? To me, that would mean that I don't like the uniform. [Title]

Output: So in otherwords: you like


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I never played past high school, but I did manage to accumulate a fair amount of joint injury: a torn ACL/meniscus and four subsequent knee surgeries and continued wear left me unable to do anything ballistic with my legs at a young age, and I already have a fair amount of arthritis in that knee and same-side hip, both of which I assume will have to get replaced at some point going forward. I know that this pails in comparison to the joint injury/pain that a lot of guys go through, but I say it to establish the fact that I can appreciate the costs of joint damage. That said, I'm grateful that, aside from getting my bell rung a few times, I never accumulated much head trauma. I just see a qualitative difference between brain injury and bodily injury; bodily injury can alter your life, making it inconvenient and painful (in ways that I acknowledge can be pretty awful), but brain injury can fundamentally change who you are. And this is what I, and I assume others, find so frightening about the risk from concussions. I could see myself with full information trading a few years of playing a sport that I love for a future of moderate physical disability. I could never see myself making that trade for a future of middle-aged advanced dementia. [Title]

Output: Head injury vs. joint injury


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 6 days ago [Body] It's interesting to see this outcome after reading a really fascinating Grantland piece recently on advanced defensive metrics: http://grantland.com/features/department-of-defense/. Among other things, the article makes the case for Chris Paul as the best perimeter defender in the association. [Title]

Input: [Date] 21 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Honest, straight-faced answer: I would give zero fucks if I was largely clueless about where guys would end up before they committed somewhere. I would care more about losing scouting content, but that content doesn't seem to me to be dependent on the element of the business model in question. [Title]

Input: [Date] 21 weeks 3 days ago [Body] With respect go the question of whether anyone would pay him a cent: possibly, though at the margin, certainly fewer. my broader, more tangential point: the world would not be a poorer place if some of these hypothetical guys were to empty their contact lists of 16-year-olds and go back to selling insurance or whatever. [Title]

Output: With respect go the question of whether anyone


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 3 days ago [Body] The 'certain definition of value' I referenced is the one that you presuppose: the one that centers entirely on the guy running the site. A piece of recruiting info also carries value for (at least some) of the people who absorb it, whether or not they pay. It also carries some (possibly negative) value for the players/coaches/families from which it was extracted. [Title]

Output: The 'certain definition of value' I referenced is


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Under a certain definition of 'value', yes. Also, I'm not entirely convinced by my own argument, but I'm much less convinced by your fact/opinion distinction, either with respect to its logical structure or its application to statements about what recruits will do. [Title]

Output: Under a certain definition of 'value', yes.Also,


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I dunno, man. I have a really hard time swallowing the notion of statements of fact about the world as property. Whatever the legal framework, items of prose seem to me to be qualitatively different from kernels of knowledge, and it seems to me that the latter can't properly 'belong' to anybody. Granted, there's a collective action problem here; if everybody gets info for free, then nobody gets paid to collect it, and everybody gets less recruiting bits. But I feel confident in saying that the socially optimal level of recruit pestering is way lower than what goes on now. [Title]

Output: I dunno, man. I have a really hard time swallowing


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I could be mistaken, but my impression of the twitterverse is that you could find a cure for cancer, and you'd still get a dozen people telling you that you're a vagina that rhymes with "punt".

Input: [Date] 24 weeks 2 days ago [Body] The success of autodidacts doesn't mean that schools are useless. And I think we may have to agree to disagree on the interpretation of my experience; in my view, there is vanishingly little danger here, and the use of (very modest) university resources to encourage students to be less shitty than I was at times in undergrad seems reasonable. [Title]

Input: [Date] 24 weeks 2 days ago [Body] So if I'm Roma, and I'm kind of bummed out that my ethnic identity is used as a shorthand for fucking people over (an association that has been used as a pretext for my ancestors' systematic extermination at various points in history), I should realize that I'm part of the problem. Got it. [Title]

Output: So if I'm Roma, and I'm kind


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 2 days ago [Body] The thing with a simple "be considerate" message is that many people (and I would place my 20-year-old self firmly in this camp) have no idea that some of the things they're saying actually are deeply incosiderate. I would regularly call things retarded, and I would regularly admonish my friends to not be such fags when they wouldn't want to go out in the cold and such. I don't do this anymore, not because I'm such a better person now, but because I realize now that I was being demeaning and shitty. [Title]

Output: The thing with a simple "be


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 2 days ago [Body] In requesting that people not say certain things because other people find them hurtful and demeaning, the university isn't providing a nudge to exercise self-control so much as it's letting people know that some of those things actually are hurtful and demeaning to others. I used to say a lot of things in friendly conversation that I now consider socially unacceptable and, with the exception of the occcasional slip up, rarely use. It's not because I'm so much more in possession of myself, but because I now realize in ways that I didn't before that I was kind of being an asshole. [Title]

Output: Self-control vs. understanding of context


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 2 days ago [Body] There is an enormous gap between 1) censoring ideas, and 2) requesting that people be civil to each other. The notion that my ability to formulate and openly argue for ideas is somehow compromised because Big Brother has asked that I not call anyone a fag is...not particularly compelling. [Title]

Output: Free thought


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Belle Waring: "98% of what people angrily claim is “Political Correctness” is just manners. Politeness. If something I were saying at a dinner party offended another guest and my host explained why, I would stop saying that thing, in all likelihood. I myself used to call things “retarded” all the time when I was a kid, and I carried it into adulthood, and then people on the internet made it clear that they found this hurtful and demeaning, so I stopped. I explained to my children, I have a left-over bad habit in that I will occasionally call something retarded and it’s not an appropriate thing to say; will you please correct me when I do it? Thinking about what I wanted my children to say helped me here. Likewise, although I don’t know that I said anything particularly unpleasant about it ever, I was comparatively ignorant about issues facing trans people until some years back. Does this make me angry because the word “cisgender” exists now? No, because I’m not an asshole." [Title]

Output: An onerous task: don't be an asshole


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I'd actually disagree about Westwood village being awesome. It's kind of like a scaled-up South U, except with more douchebags in Maseratis and 50-year-olds with plastic faces. Other things of note: CTools is a lot better than UCLA's course computing website, and people get ticketed for jaywalking on campus all the time, which totally sucks. Let the negative recruiting commence! [Title]

To your initial point: this isn't to say that insurance companies are extracting excess profits from people in affected neighborhoods. But it does demonstrate that a lot of (potential) drivers take a huge hit on premiums through no fault of their own. [Title]

Input: [Date] 26 weeks 2 days ago [Body] This raises an interesting point over what counts as "political". I'm assuming that you're objecting to the comments on race and racism because they cross the no-politics line. But I'd argue that discussing the stability of Grosse Pointe's elite status without acknowledging that the form of segregation from which it draws its status represents one of the biggest moral failings of 20th Century America is, at the very least, a tad political.

Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Body] The point is that "grown men", as used in the initial comment, refers to the stage of life development at which dudes are likely to be not so into being led around on a string. Yes, 22yos are often asked to bear tremendous military burdens, and we should all solemnly introduce this point in as many threads as possible. But the relevant sense of "grown men" has a lot more to do with not getting care packages from mom, making solo trips to Bed, Bath and Beyond, etc. [Title]

Output: Why should we praise Goodell for giving an extremely weak punishment and taking his sweet time to do the right thing after he sees that the whole thing isn't blowing over? I don't think it really matters if he saw the tape or not. The issue I have is that he has just screwed up the entire situation and made the NFL look stupid in the process. Goodell is lying about something. I don't really care if he loses his job, but I wouldn't care in any way if he did.

Output: They aren't as bad as I imagined they could be. I actually don't mind Maryland's other uniforms either. The only thing that looks bad on this jersey to me is the declaration going down onto the shoulders/sleeves of the jersey. It looks fine on the helmet. I like it quite a bit more than NW's patriotic jerseys.

Output: This place is just a whole lot more fun when Michigan beats the hell out of somebody, especially the Irish. Lets keep that going. I have a good feeling about this team. We have some special playmakers and I wanna see Notre Dame walk away from this rivalry with its tail between its legs. Go blue, stomp em


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Agreed [Body]

Output: That's how I've always looked at games like this. I don't really root for anybody in particular. I just take joy in the positives of each scenario. I generally lean toward LOL MSU, though.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] nice work [Body]

Output: That maize is extra highlighter-y, and I don't mean that as an insult. I'll probably use this on my laptop when I get home


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] agreed [Body]

Output: I figure we'll be thinking MOAR FUNCHESS a little bit anyway. Overall I don't think the running backs do much, but just enough to help extend a few drives.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] Homers [Body]

Output: Im not sure why exactly, but I have a lot of confidence in this team to beat Notre Dame. I can't really explain it, but I just like what this team has. There's plenty of weapons on offense, especially if the line can hold up and create a few running lanes. I think the main thing for me is the confidence in Nuss. I actually think he will make sure he adjusts his offense to what they can do effectively. If the line falls apart in the run game I have faith that he'll open things up through the air. I'm extremely interested in seeing what types of plays he introduces for this game. I'm really tempted to predict a big win for M, but I'll say it ends up a little closer than it should. Something along the lines of 28-20 in favor of M. Gardner and the receivers shine while the OL opens up enough holes to get Smith and Green a couple runs of 10+ yard runs to keep the defense honest. Can't wait for the game, go blue.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] TIE! [Body]

Output: Obviously the tie is the best outcome. /s On that note I had to look up what the record for most overtimes was because the only way I can imagine a tie game now would be a case of insane OTs. The 2003 game between Arkansas and Kentucky holds the record with 7 OTs. The game ended in a 71-63 win for Kentucky. Interestingly enough, Arkansas was also in a 7 OT game in 2001 against Mississippi. There's some random facts for you.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Speaking of Lou... [Body]

Output: Did anybody else see him Saturday evening on ESPN? He basically started talking about how you can't tell anything from week one because all these teams are playing cupcakes, then he goes on to say Notre Dame is awesome because Rice. Rece Davis and Mark May were pretty baffled. I love that they openly made fun of him, though.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Well... [Body]

Output: Well, I'd say that's the key.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Also [Body]

Output: Phase 1: Eat the lemon Phase 2: ??? Phase 3: Profit


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Her voice [Body]

Output: Her voice bothers me for some reason. There are women with voices that don't bother me.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Telling [Body]

Output: I also noticed the team has some very promising sock technology working in their favor on game day. Hell, even some of our more rambunctious MGoBloggers (I'm looking at you WD) are getting in on it... which is nice.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Wow [Body]

Output: Jesus, man. Really? It does make me curious when this first became a common practice, though.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 3 days ago [Title] No [Body]

Output: Both hits were nice, but Woodson really smashed that Baylor guy into the ground. Countess had solid contact to start the tackle, but then the ASU player just kinda falls down. Having said that, we're splitting hairs and we should probably just enjoy the hits.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: I was about to say the same thing. I liked the Peppers hit a lot more than that Countess hit, but tackles are always nice.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Agreed [Body]

Output: I've hated him from the moment I saw him on ESPN. It may be that I just hate all the youngest guys they've added (I really freakin hate the newest guy I noticed that they bring in to talk about the NFL). I'm 22 so it's not like I hate young people, these young guys just seem to be real dopes. Jesse Palmer is the only one I can tolerate for any amount of time. I'm gonna start sidetracking here, but I really felt like puking when I watched the SEC Network before the USC Tex A&M game. They were just trying way too hard to compliment everything about each team, the stadium, everything SEC, etc. I get it because it's the SEC Network, but the Big Ten Network isn't that bad, is it? I really hate Tim Tebow, and I'm not even sure why. He seems like a truly great person, but I think his voice is mostly what annoys me. That bald Paul Finebaum can be somewhat of a dick, too. I probably need to avoid ESPN as much a possible.

Output: Groot, what gives? When did you add all these words to your previously borderline nonexistent vocabulary?

Input: [Date] 48 weeks 3 days ago [Title] 2-4 [Body]

Output: In my experience the majority of scalpers have sets of two together, and sometimes you can find people selling 3 or 4. That's about it. I can't imagine finding 10 together from a scalper would even be possible. It seems like it'd be pretty hectic with that many people together anyway. I'd recommend just having each person scalp individually, but if sitting together is that important go on stubhub.


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Love it [Body]

Output: I might actually use that just because the picture looks so damn good and I'm incredibly pumped for football to be back. I've also been using the MBB bench reaction to the infamous Burke 3 against Kansas. I love that background and all, but I think it might be time to move on.


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 6 days ago [Title] ads [Body]

Output: Oddly enough I was also smacked in the face with a red ad, but mine was for Flagstar bank. Other than that the site was pretty bland. I'm not really a fan. I think the lack of dividing lines or sections makes the ads stick out even more than they would normally. There's way too much white on the screen for me, but others may feel differently.

Output: There have been numerous dumb comments regarding RR on this site, but yours wins first prize. STFU


Input: [Date] 3 years 14 weeks ago [Title] Good Grief [Body]

Output: I appreciate the fact that these men have made a choice to serve their country. However, they will be subject to a hell of a lot worse than booing from opposing fans in the very near future. I feel confident that they can handle what any other opposing team has to deal with at a typical road game. I have plenty of family members that have gone through various service academies that will tell you that the deification of service members has gone beyond the pale since 9/11. If you choose to serve, good for you, but joining in and of itself is not a heoric act and does not mean you're a patriot.

Output: This story is nearly a year old.


Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Title] contact Congress [Body]

Output: I've worked on the Hill for the past six years and I can tell you definitively that your member of Congress will not base his/her decision regarding SOPA on constituent outrage. Check campaign contributions first. If he/she took cash from the entertainment industry then you can conclude pretty easily how they'll vote. This is normal DC culture.


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Title] who cares? [Body]

Output: who cares if pat white or denard become nfl quarterbacks? a coach is supposed to find the best player for his system. Obviously RR has proven that he is very proficient in doing that.

Output: until your wife bangs your best friend. Hilarious!


Input: [Date] 3 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Very Dumb [Body]

Output: Apparently you didn't read Bacon's book because if you had you would have realized how often Denard gets accosted by super fanboys like yourself. I'm sure he was nice about it, but jesus christ, give the kid a break.


Input: [Date] 3 years 31 weeks ago [Title] worst metaphor ever? [Body]

Output: Yes. That is all.


Input: [Date] 3 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Reread the book [Body]

Output: Everything you mentioned is part of the reason the team failed on. the field. Half the senior class left in 2008 specifically due to Carr's meddling. How would Hoke have done this year with Nick Sheridan leading the team? Obviously you were biased against RR before you read the book, so it's not a surprise that you didn't enjoy the material.

Input: [Date] 3 years 39 weeks ago [Title] email exchange between me and Rosenberg [Body]

Output: Michael, Now that the public knows that you had a major role in sabotaging the career of Rich Rodriguez at UofM, what do you have to say for yourself? John Bacon's book portrays you as the vindictive leader of a witch hunt, which seems apt. I find it intersting that your sister paper is publishing excerpts of the book all week while the sham of a paper that you write for remains silent on this issue. What, you don't think Detroit cares about the three years under Rodriguez? Or is it that you don't want the public to know that you're guily of character assassination? Speaking of books, how is yours selling these days? It's good to know that Michigan fans provided some fine reader reviews to help you out. Best, Seth Thanks for your e-mail. The author of that book quoted me saying things I never said and assigned me motives I never had. This was not shocking, since he was granted access to the coach and made minimal attempts to contact anybody who would contradict the coach’s point of view. As a result, the book is filled with misinformation, half-truths and lies (and many of them don’t even have anything to do with me or the Free Press). I don’t have the time or inclination to detail all the book’s flaws here. But just to give a few examples: Rich Rodriguez’s own agent has stated in his deposition for the West Virginia lawsuit that he called Michigan to pitch Rich’s interest in the job, shortly after pitching Rodriguez to Arkansas; the idea that Lloyd Carr lured Rodriguez to Michigan is fiction. The author quotes Rodriguez saying the coaches never said anything to Justin Boren; in fact, Boren had already been quoted on the record about the coaches’ language. (The author also quotes the coach, in the same breath, saying he had not met me, when in fact he had. The author never asked me about this.) The author writes, with no attribution, that Carr told his players they could skip class during rivalry weeks. In fact, as a running joke, players would ask Carr if they could skip class. Nobody ever believed they were allowed to do that – except, apparently, the author of this book. In the author’s world, nobody was breaking rules, but when the team started losing, it was because they weren’t able to do what they had done before. The author also claims he “initiated” the investigation into Michigan basketball, which is ridiculous. The Free Press broke that story. (Not me – I didn’t even work here at the time.) I could go on, but I won’t. I’ve covered a thousand stories in my career and I’m not interested in rehashing this one. I never have harbored any ill will toward Rich Rodriguez. If he learns from his mistakes at Michigan, I think he can be successful in his next job. We stand by our reporting. Take care, Michael Michael Rosenberg Columnist, Detroit Free Press Author, "War As They Knew It: Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler and America in a Time of Unrest" mrosenberg@freepress.com

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

Output: I've been with this site since the beginning as it coincided with my undergrad days. The meltdowns are unfortunately tightly coupled with the sub-par field performance, and that's certainly sad. Enjoy this Team folks, enjoy the community and the game but take a step back and look at this as entertainment, not your life or lifestyle. I personally enjoy the WLA community as they take a perspective on our fan base that reflects on the obsession and looks at it critically, which I feel is necessary. We are a crew who are incredibly passionate, and that manifests itself in folks who confuse that passion as being knowledge. Do we need to, as a fanbase question every recruiting detail, every call, every coaching move and mundane detail? The WLA folks were great at calling out these aspects, and I feel it is necessary. Michigan football is an institution but at the end of the day it affects my day in 0 ways. Act accordingly. Maybe I don't agree with the ban first ask questions later mentality, but I am open to the suggestion that it is necessary. I enjoyed chitown's perspective. I liked reading it here. If it's no longer welcome, so be it. Rad on, MGo.

Output: I hope that folks don't conclude that this is a problem that is isolated to Michigan. Last week I attended the BC game and their GA student section didn't become 70% or so full until almost halftime. That was against FSU: they had a top 10 opponent and one of the most exciting freshmen QBs coming into town!

Output: 1) From speaking to UConn fans: at a minimum they had to purchase a 3 ticket package to get a seat to this game. Some of the fans were a little bitter about this, especially seeing how many Michigan fans were in attendance 2) Every UConn fan I spoke to wanted a B1G invitation 3) The Margarita's in East Hartford was flooded with Michigan fans both before and after the game 4) Hotel parking lot tailgates were a bit weird, but allowed. The oddest tailgate spot for me is still at the T parking lot for Boston College games


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] FTR [Body]

Output: For the record: I love Michigan athletics and have a deep emotional attachment to this team. I'm also a 2 decade cycling fan, and from enjoying a sport that has put in true doping controls I can't help but be skeptical when I see these sort of out of character/ human body performances. I would love to be wrong. But I also was more than once. And with reason. I don't think Peyton or many/ all NFL types are clean. This is not a Lance comment. Pick your heroes carefully and question these performances


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] Baseball [Body]

Output: Can't the same be said for baseball? "How can PEDs help you eye a curveball or a fastball." I'm not buying any of your position arguments. A PED will give you an edge over the field if nobody else is using them. Period. In 2007 the Cowboys QB coach Wade Wilson was suspended and fined for purchasing HGH. Was he buying this for the Cowboys linemen? http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3019472 The fact is we have a 37 year old putting up numbers we have never seen before off a recent injury that many were predicting would render him a shadow of his former self. If you're not at least skeptical you haven't been following the trend in sports too closely lately.

Input: [Date] 2 days 14 hours ago [Body] they haven't shown much because our coaching the past couple years has been horrific.. and non-existent.. They just need a line to hold for more than 3 secs so the QB can actual throw the ball..

The oline and Gardner single handedly lost us that game last year..

We handed them the game in every way possible. Their run game and pass game was predictable which will make them easy to defend again this year. I think we will run all over them with drevno and an experienced line this year [Title]

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 3 days ago [Body] the teams that win some of these big championships can make millions, but most of these teams are sponsored and a lot of the winnings teams have to pay out their sponors and others a lot of the money they win. The majority of their money is made like you said thru streaming and youtube pages.. Most twitch people make most of their money thru donations.. Even some of the people who are horrible at games in general or even some girls who just get creep guys to donate.. This one girl was on their and the top donator for the month was like 2500$ to her paypal.. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I'm fine with any shade of maize that [Body]

Output: 1. Looks good from the stands 2. Looks good on SD, HD, 1080p and 4K (i.e. It should look good on all current broadcast viewing tech) 3. Is as close as possible to our historic colors as possible given the first two constraints I suspect others might put 3 in place of 1 or 2, but to me the orange-y yellow looks worse on TV than the slightly highlighter yellows, and I think that will continue as pore-o-vision tech becomes the new norm. As long as we pick the color given a reasonable arrangement of those three points, we'll be good.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I don't agree about unbundling [Body]

Output: The Internet is a boon for distribution of content, in that the rights-owners of the content have lower distribution costs and can better identify the people who will buy what they have. Sports programming is no different. ESPN rents the rights and will make their money either way; it's not like network television, where you can go to Hulu/iTunes/whatever and get the exact same thing for a cheaper price if all you want is every episode of "Royal Pains". If you want B1G Football, the Big Ten Network will sell those rights to various distributors for enormous dollars, and those distributors will absolutely make sure that they get paid for distributing it to whoever wants it. Whether that's a subscription to ESPN Sports or a cable subscription, it will be about the same amount because ESPN and the B1G don't care how you watch, they just care that you pay to watch. By the same cable unbundling becomes widespread, the economic picture won't change for the B1G - they'll have made enormous profit, and will make still more for every school they add, as long as the distributors think that the additional cost to them will result in additional subscriptions to enhance their profits. Put simply, adding Maryland and Rutgers has already paid off, and will continue to pay off because people will pay for Maryland basketball and Rutgers alumni sports fans will pay for Rutgers sports - one way or another.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Skill against Skill alone [Body]

Output: Any prospect where the odds are slightly in his favor at hand fighting works for me. "I could kill you now" also works.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Title] The lack of contact and the late grayshirt [Body]

Output: should not be tolerated here. As others have mentioned, if we recruit someone and tell them "You're getting an offer, but you might have to grayshirt the first semester" up front that's one thing. Telling them on Signing Day "Thanks for the LOI, but you're not getting a scholarship" is something different (and yet another reason for recruits to not sign a letter of intent if they can avoid it). The lack of contact just seems ... wrong. Of course, coaches aren't usually going to come out and say "You got hurt, we're yanking your offer", but there's got to be a better way to do this. I suspect this is one area where Harbaugh will bend us away from what I'd like us to do, and whether we'll tolerate it or not depends on how much he wins (and how much of it he does).


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Title] A pattern emerges [Body]

Output: Despite the available 14 scholarships, of which 12 are now taken, Harbaugh continues to go after anyone he thinks can help. That implies the class is going to be huge - perhaps as high as 25 as others have tweeted. (That in turn implies that at least some players we might have counted on next year are not going to be there, whether by transfer or by medical exemption. That doesn't make me happy about the upcoming year.) Harbaugh appears to have great confidence in his ability to take raw talent - the kind of player with athletic gifts but not mastery of skills - and turn it into what he needs. With his track record, that confidence is justified - as long as he can find the guys who have all the gifts but none of the skills, and can learn the skills quickly. One resolution to our Three-Star-Dilemma is thus: - the staff is hoping to fill out the top end of a large class with players with both skill and talent, but know that those guys are both worth saving spots for and commit on their own schedule, such that you can't count on a majority of those targets for your class. - the three-stars we're getting are guys who will be good at football once they get top-notch coaching, but for whatever reason aren't there yet Put more simply, we're getting a lot of three stars because we always were going to need them (given the class size, our recent mediocrity, and the staff's short time at Michigan), and because the right three-stars are committing now, rather than risk the wrong three-stars in February.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I would like to think that the goal of admissions is broader [Body]

Output: Specifically, it's not just about people who'll donate more, but turning out people who live up to the standards of alumni past and are well prepared to tackle the modern world in their field of study. That tends to correlate well to success and hence to donations, but skipping past the middle and heading to the dollars leads you to more Dave Brandons and fewer top artists.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 1 day ago [Title] It always comes back to execution [Body]

Output: This is one reason I have a hard time getting worked up about play-calling. The right play call means less has to go totally right to get a success, but one guy getting it wrong can always kill you. That said, it would be nice if we both didn't get it wrong and called the right plays.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Title] My OL take [Body]

Output: I assign about 40% to RR recruiting, as it left us low on talent and bodies. This was papered over by Molk, and then Denard, but it showed up even before that. Next would be 30% to Borges, although I can't sub categorize that. I don't see the tinkering as the problem as much as I see it as a response to a problem (a response that made things worse, granted, but given the state of the team it's not clear that blocking at the 75th best level would have made any difference versus the utter shambles we actually were). Put another way, we were failing, and rather than hope we gelled, he tried anything he could think of. I can't really fault that, even if it didn't work; it's not clear that anything would have. The bottom line is that it was his job, and he couldn't get it done. Finally I assign Funk about 15% - he has to get some, but he also did good work with Glasgow, Magnusen and Cole, and was the coach for the rebound to bad (from utterly abysmal, granted). The remainder I assign to injury (I think Kalis's back boo-boo has been a big factor in his lack of success thus far, for example), and slight over expectations - even five star linemen fail more often than you'd think, and we didn't exactly have wall-to-wall future-Sunday guys. Put more simply, I think that first year gave us less tolerance for what followed. May we never have to dissect a similar failure again.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Names have power [Body]

Output: My wife was never in a class without at least one person with the same name. I, on the other hand, never met anyone with my first name until well into adulthood (despite it being relatively common for my ethnicity). We both wanted to honor our son's dual heritage, but while my wife wanted something uncommon, I wanted Joe/Steve/Sam :). We also took into account both how he might feel as an adult and his initials, and came up with something that we both really liked. He has a first name from my side of the family, and a middle name from my wife's, and goes by those initials for now. If he wants to use his first name, he can, and if not, his initials work just fine. (As it happens, my people have a formal-name-and-a-nickname tradition, and there is a traditional name that sounds just like his initials, so everyone is happy.) I have sympathy for the wait-until-you-meet-them-to-name-them approach, as well. My son's first name means Sky, and he definitely has a sunny personality, but it didn't have to work out that way.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 hours ago [Title] Unless he got hurt [Body]

Output: There's an alternate universe somewhere in which Henson spurned the Yankees and re-injured his foot in his first game, and never came back from it at all. If it was all about the money, his choice represents a guarantee of life-altering money versus a chance at ... Twice as much life-altering money. It may have ripped the heart out of our fans (and I'm right there with you - I didn't want him to leave), but it's not the awful decision we would like to think.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Michigan haiku [Body]

Output: So many skilled wings! but why so few proven bigs? In Beilein we trust.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Damn that man could play [Body]

Output: I saw him in Nyon, France in 1982 as part of the Paleo Folk Festival - a bunch of bands I'd never heard of, the Stray Cats, and BB King (I was on a summer exchange program). My host brother wanted to see a bunch of the bands so we drove from Geneva to Nyon and saw the show. I remember thinking after the Stray Cats finished their set that I was done and could go get food now, but then BB King came on and blew the doors down. Fantastic live performer, and someplace on high is getting a real treat now, even by divine standards.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 hours ago [Title] Tipler FTW! [Body]

Input: [Date] 12 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Anything by Journey [Body]

Output: Stone in Love, Don't Stop Believing, Who's Crying Now? And on and on. Btw, y'all have decent taste; about half the songs here started playing their hooks in my head as I read the names :)


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 7 hours ago [Title] Both [Body]

Output: Manage expectations correctly, though. InAOut is a drive-thru fast food burger which is very good for that category. Five Guys is a step up from that, but that puts it in the category with your local sit-down burger joint. Both appear to be good places to work, though, and are decently run-businesses. I tend to go by Five Guys more often because there's one in the mall with my son's preferred option (Panera Bread).


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Trading up requires your player to become a star [Body]

Output: Or you would have been better off with the multiple picks. Obviously this varies by team and situation, but it's usually only worth trading up for guys who are so good a trade is unlikely e.g. Andrew Luck. Maybe if you're one player away or you have a chance at someone like Luck, but that rarely comes up. Almost every trade up is a bust. They would likely be better off taking BPA at #12 and either BPA or Winston at #19.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 hours ago [Title] Pitchers are volatile [Body]

Output: It's too bad for Nathan - he was very good for a long time, and you never want to see that career crash and burn like this. We still don't know how to predict who will get hurt, and relievers are even more volatile just due to the small-sample effect. 50 good innings is a season+ for a reliever, and a quarter season for a starter; it just is not enough data to know how good someone is. This is why signing pitchers to long-term deals is very risky, and why paying big money for a reliever is particularly foolish. Assembling a competent bullpen on the cheap is one of the hallmarks of the "modern GM" - picking through the bargain bin for failed starters, random guys with velocity who you can get on one year deals, breaking in young guns as relievers a la Earl Weaver - and for all his acknowledged acumen in nearly other GM endeavor, DD's (undoubted) efforts here have been badly snakebitten.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] 1985 [Body]

Output: MIT was a DARPA/ArpaNet hub, and my freshman year had Project Athena up and running for incoming freshman, so everyone got an account on the campus network, which was directly gatewayed into both the ArpaNet and NSFNet. It was actually pretty fast - dialup was so disappointing when I got it at home later. I didn't realize until later how much stuff I had access to via that setup - I used it for classes, USENET, and keeping myself on the top of the campus-wide Hextris (Hexagonal Tetris) and Trek73 leaderboards :) (For you younguns, DARPA=Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, ArpaNet was the network connecting the labs working with them, and NSFNet was the National Science Foundation network connecting the supercomputer labs to universities so people could time-share the super-expensive big iron for things like fluid dynamics calculations. Those networks were the proto-Internet and still form much of what used to be called the backbone.)


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Mendocino Sweet Hot Mustard [Body]

Output: Works well on almost everything. Spicy Brown Mustard is also a favorite, as is Sriracha.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 3 days ago [Title] The only time we have a problem is if two+ [Body]

Output: or Williams/Brown/LaVert want in, and Hatch doesn't agree that his career is over (he has to agree to the medical exemption barring an extraordinary waiver). In that case, I would rather turn away Brown and/or Williams than force Hatch out, even if it makes our team worse next year.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 6 days ago [Title] 529 plan here [Body]

Output: We liked it better than the Coverdell, and Utah's plan is well run with a few solid fire-and-forget options - for example, they have one that is aggressive early, then shifts to more conservative investments as it gets closer to maturity so that you don't get hit by a stock downturn just as you need the money. Although if your state permits tax deductions/credits for investment in its plans, do it - that's almost guaranteed to be a bigger savings than you can get elsewhere. CA doesn't, sadly, so we picked Utah's plan. (If you didn't realize it, you can invest in any state's plan and withdraw to pay expenses anywhere; the main differences are tax treatments and how the plans are run. Utah's consistently does very well in terms of low expenses and decent returns, with a wide variety of options, and is tax-advantaged for Utah residents.) The bigger point is to have a plan, and start it early. Sounds like you're up on both counts, so good luck!


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 6 days ago [Title] If you think 17-year-old boys aren't influenced by weather [Body]

Output: You're nuts. It only takes one trip to a CA campus where coeds study in bikins ... in March ... to remind you of the benefits of year-round sunshine. I mean, Ann Arbor had white Fourths of July while I lived there, and Stanford had at least one 80-degree-but-breezy-day this February. Not to mention the joys of seasonal-affect-issues, the ... exquisite fun ... of practicing in the cold rain, and so forth. It's not just an advantage because people say it is, it's because people act as though it is.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I don't think Kentucky is cheating to any real extent [Body]

Output: They don't have to. They are a basketball power, a blueblood for at least 50 years, and they have a championship winning coach who promises to give you the best chance at the NBA ... and delivers. If you're a one-and-done level talent, it's absolutely a top option for you. Rather than cheating, I see Kentucky as gaming the system to the point of absurdity. Their hoopsters are student-athletes in name only, but that's the logical end product of this set of rules.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 1 day ago [Title] He's not worth it in terms of value to society [Body]

Output: But that's true of many of us - possibly most of us. That kind of scale would value teachers and janitors well above what they get paid. He's not worth it on a linear scale either (which is the context for his remarks) - he's not doing five times as much work as someone getting paid $1M to coach a team. On the other hand, he's likely going to be underpaid in terms of what he brings to the program - the excitement of any new hire is already exceeding what we might expect because it's Harbaugh and not some other former player/coach. If he succeeds in turning our program around, the surplus value accrued to the university could easily double what it pays him. And if he gets us on par with OSU's recent success, the sky's the limit.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Our football program has a nearly unmatched history [Body]

Output: And we should use that to its benefit. Legends jerseys are one way of doing that, and I liked the basic idea. What I didn't like is the seemingly constant changing of numbers. Give them out when people first start, and let them keep them until they're done. It would be cool to have Peppers add a patch to an already legendary number.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 4 hours ago [Title] Failure but not a systemic issue [Body]

Output: This season is a failure in much the same way the Apollo 13 mission was - they didn't achieve the goal, but when faced with unexpectedly catastrophic circumstances, they didn't give up; instead they got better, and should fate deal us a bad hand again, they'll be ready.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I think McGary was always going pro [Body]

Output: Once he demonstrated he was healthy, he would have gotten a first round grade, and taken it. His age means that coming back was much more likely to drop his status than enhance it, if he could persuade people he was healthy. Not to mention that, for once, the NCAA isn't the one at fault here. Sure, the rule is stupid, but it's not like McGary took a principled stand against it and opposed it because it was dumb. He got caught doing something he agreed he wouldn't when he signed his scholarship. Still, "vigilante dickpunch justice" is worth the whole rant right there :)


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Scott Boras' greatest fear [Body]

Output: Is universal free agency with maximum one year contracts. That market would quickly correct to paying most players a pittance, while pitchers would have one year where they made 1000% of their other years pay before they got hurt and went back to the minimum. It's a really effective way to transfer wealth from players to owners.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I wish this was a Penn State thing [Body]

Output: What are the odds that a current Michigan student hasn't posted nude pictures of people without their consent?


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 2 days ago [Title] If you're going to steal, steal from the best [Body]

Output: Terry Pratchett is a fabulous author whose critical appeal was definitely hurt by writing humorous genre books. It's the critics who missed out, though - this was a man in total command of his craft. I'll second the recommendations of Small Gods as an introduction - it's a stand-alone novel spending most of its time away from Anhk-Moorpork, which is the hub for many of the other books. Guards! Guards! is also a favorite. The two I reread most often are probably The Fifth Elephant - Vimes as an ambassador is not to be missed - and Going Postal - Moist Von Lipwig is a hoot :). The Night Watch might be the pinnacle of the series - despite the humorous bits, it's actually pretty dark, but Vimes and Vetinari dealing with the reformation of the Watch is exceptionally well done. As for Dr. Z, reading his SI columns taught me the importance of line play in football, and showed me how much the game really revolves around the trenches. Doesn't look like we'll get more of his writing, either :(


Input: [Date] 1 week 22 hours ago [Title] The way I read the situation [Body]

Output: The way I read the situation was we told him that in order to play again he'd have to sit for at least six months. As an uncommon senior that would likely be the death knell of his playing career. He's transferring to Texas tech where he has to sit for a year anyway. I'm not sure that the two schools doctors were actually in disagreement. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] Are you high? I'm not sure [Body]

Output: Are you high? I'm not sure that I've ever seen a player carry a team as much as Denard did for three straight years. Without him the dumpster fire would have been a dumpster inferno. I thought you people would shut up after the disaster that our offense became as soon as Denard left.

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I think my major issue with [Body]

Output: I think my major issue with this is that people go to university to learn to become the person they are, they find their own views. If we start banning things because people are discomforted by them, it's a slippery slope to only having one accepted viewpoint. I haven't seen the movie, but I highly doubt it's "The Birth of a Nation: Part Two". I think if you don't like something, by all means speak out against it and say why you find it wrong. I draw the line when it comes to surpressing what you dislike. As far as the safety issue goes, I find it to be overblown. Racist assholes are going to be racist assholes, this movie is not going to change that for better or worse. Especially on a progressive campus like U of M.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I totally understand where [Body]

Output: I totally understand where you're coming from, and typically and ideally that's how I try to approach things as well. I just have seen people like her in action enough to know it's primarily about attention and I can't take the hypocrisy behind it seriously. I'm definitely a little biased from past experiences, but I don't think my preconcieved notions will end up being incorrect on this one.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Title] It has nothing to do with [Body]

Output: It has nothing to do with American Sniper, but it does relate to the situation. If this girl is throwing pork at a fellow Muslims door, I think it calls her motivations and integrity into question. Considering that she is primarily behind this blowing up, I find it to be relevant.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I think the point is that the [Body]

Output: I think the point is that the girl concrned about anti-muslim sentiment caused by the film, also allegedly threw hot dogs and eggs at Mahmoods door. It takes away a bit of credibility.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Title] That would've been the way to [Body]

Output: That would've been the way to do it, if the concern was actually about this film being showed. Unfortunately, as you pointed out, the entire point behind this is that it fits a political narrative.

Output: This is disappointing. I thought this idea very unique and it got our history out in a much more prominent way. The "create their own legacy" argument doesn't make sense to me. We can't bother to remember two great players who wore the same number? It's not a cool thing to connect the past to the present?

Output: That FF XIII trailer definitely got me. Good song.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] RR's offense was on an upward [Body]

Output: RR's offense was on an upward trajectory. Where is any evidence he would've turned that defense around? It got worse every year. Both coaches failed.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Weird thing to me is that [Body]

Output: Weird thing to me is that this game isn't one of the bigger ones. Free tuition for the winning team is kinda cool though.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Title] The only value of spring game [Body]

Output: The only value of spring game attendance is if you are curious what the weather was like that day and don't want to check weather.com.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] Wouldn't that mean that all [Body]

Output: Wouldn't that mean that all this talk about competition for spots is bogus? They are still in the competition and a guy who got benched at Iowa (I know his stats look promising) shouldn't scare away guys from competing for the job I'd hope.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I agree completely. The press [Body]

Output: I agree completely. The press boxes look great blank and I don't need it looking like Penn State or some nonsense. That ring of champions thing has all the info you want just outside the stadium. I will also back you up on the helmet stickers, not a fan. But I'd rather have helmet stickers than crap on the press boxes.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Not a fan of either of these [Body]

Output: Not a fan of either of these developments. I thought the Legends jerseys were very unique and am not big on helmet stickers. Our helmet looks awesome as is. I'll wait to see what they look like before complaining more though.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Yeah. I don't blame the [Body]

Output: Yeah. I don't blame the player trying to get a ball and not allowing a tip-in because the shot wasn't close. Just a terrible call.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Title] My "ND never wins anything" [Body]

Output: My "ND never wins anything" policy finally bites me. Can't believe Northeastern didn't even get a shot that last possession.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 19 hours ago [Title] Holy crap is that a bad idea. [Body]

Output: Holy crap that is a bad idea.


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 5 days ago [Title] As long as you don't give [Body]

Output: As long as you don't give them a name every time, then I'm fine with more than one night game a season.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 19 hours ago [Title] I mean, we had to lose to NW [Body]

Output: I mean, we had to lose to NW at SOME point right? Better now than when we're contending in the Big Ten again. After the last few games in football and even basketball this year, I wasn't surprised to see it go that way. Sad, but not surprised.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] My house sophomore year where [Body]

Output: My house sophomore year where my room was a converted porch with no heat would like to speak to you about the worst living experience on campus. In fact my house senior year blew as well so I don't really agree with you at all on that. Also I would have hated to have to start my college experience and make that huge transition in addition to finding my own place to live there. Plus that's a great way to force socialization for people in a new place is having them live together. You think that's overpriced for meals where you could take as much food as you wanted? The amount of cereal and waffles I ate a day more than made up for that cost.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I really thought the grass [Body]

Output: I really thought the grass was going to make it. I'm bummed now.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Not getting the commericals [Body]

Output: Not getting the commericals on the BTN app so I got to hear Matt Shepard describe Larkin as a "flipping stud." Pretty good stuff


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Wow really weak [Body]

Output: Wow really weak


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 6 days ago [Title] But what of your smearing of [Body]

Output: But what of your smearing of the matte helmets Brian?! They looked sharp damn it!!


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Oh god, he must come here [Body]

Output: Oh god, he must come here now.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] I'd probably describe those [Body]

Output: I'd probably describe those other people you mention as evil.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] I also remember thinking the [Body]

Output: I also remember thinking the matte helmets looked sharp. And was going to comment on it so don't worry.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 5 days ago [Title] You won't be alone. I'll be [Body]

Output: You won't be alone. I'll be there and appreciative of a chance to enjoy a Michigan hockey game without having to drive 4 hours.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 6 days ago [Title] You haven't heard of it [Body]

Output: You haven't heard of it before because it hasn't been a big deal. It's only stupid because you didn't bother to google it for 5 seconds. http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/bucs/bucs-qb-johnson-paid-to-have-footballs-altered-before-sb-37/2214490 Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I just don't get how you [Body]

Output: I just don't get how you discount a head to head game so easily. Are the playoff games going to count if they are close then? Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Wouldn't they be in the same [Body]

Output: Wouldn't they be in the same division if it worked like the rest of the conferences? The Big 12 played every other team in their conference why do they need a championship game? Regardless there is no way OSU suddenly has a better resume for beating Wisconsin. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
