Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Why would a starting senior in a top-tier defense, program, conference, and university decide to chuck it all for one season at a rebuilding program? Yeah, Harbaugh and all. But this transfer hardly seems likely -- unless the kid has somehow fallen out with his team. But I've seen no indication of same. EDIT: If his mother just got a job at UM, I guess that's motivation enough. But does anyone have any meaningful indication that her son is actually hoping to transfer? Or are people just assuming? If so, that's a big assumption. [Title]

It would be easy for him to end this thing now. But he hasn't. And he clearly has some attachment to Michigan. Plus, Harbaugh and Wheatley. Plus, doesn't Urban normally forbid verbal commits from meeting with coaches from M and MSU? If Weber just met with Dantonio, and if he's scheduled to meet Harbaugh, wouldn't this suggest that he and OSU aren't very solid? [Title]

Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Thank you for saying this. Sure, S&C coaches are important. But jeez. Rare is the S&C coach who's a game-changer, one way or the other. I'm sure Barwis is a perfectly good one. But mostly, it seemed, he just had a good branding thing going. When a team is no good, everyone always points to the S&C coach. Usually, though, it's more complicated than that. [Title]

Drafting him was a reasonable bet, especially given how few draft picks are sure things. Smith, by contrast, was widely known to be selfish, overrated, and generally not a good egg. The team didn't revolt against Darko. And his contract wasn't nearly as crippling as Smith's. This isn't a close call. [Title]

But I'm sure the coaches know the transition will ultimately produce some attrition (and will therefore open additional spots). There will be guys who just don't fit the Harbaugh Way. Or don't want to fit. We'll likely see a few transfers by the time spring practice is done. Also, the whole "we only have a few spots left" is a helpful sales pitch. [Title]

Input: [Date] 28 weeks 16 min ago [Body] If I were a coach, a silent commit would make me far more nervous than a kid who isn't yet committed. Silent implies significant degrees of uncertainty and deception, and I'd constantly be wondering if I'm being played. With silent commits, you're holding places for them. With players who haven't committed, at least you can keep recruiting other players at that position and not be left holding the bag on NSD. I do wonder re the percentage of silent commits who end up backing out. But I guess we'll never know. [Title]

But of course it was. Also, he wasn't exactly blessed with a high-caliber passing attack. He's a really smart guy, and a remarkable athlete. He could make this transition. He may well be a better long-term investment than a certain other Michigan WR. [Title]

Input: [Date] 28 weeks 6 days ago [Body] The whole "LA is a bad sports town" is yet another one of those lame cliches about the city. Most of its teams -- Dodgers, Lakers, Kings, even the Galaxy -- draw very well. The Clips and Angels do respectably. So do USC and UCLA. Yes, attendance tends to flag when the teams struggle. But you could say that about most cities. Been to a Pistons game lately? Or a typical MSU football game? LA's NFL reputation had merit only to the extent that LA -- where there's plenty of alternatives, and where there's no real winter -- doesn't desperately need NFL football. But its "failure" to keep an NFL team stemmed mostly from bad, flighty ownership. Also, today's NFL is far more popular than it was when the Rams played in LA. And while it's true that LA fans tend to arrive late and leave early, that's generally a function of LA freeway traffic. If you're leaving work at 6 PM, or if you've got to get the kids in bed by 10, you're gonna miss part of the game. [Title]

Input: [Date] 30 weeks 4 days ago [Body] It's ridiculous how swiftly and decisively the peanut-gallery has given up on Shane. No, he hasn't set the world on fire. But he's had very limited game experience, under pretty crappy circumstances. Most QBs ride the pine for 2 or 3 years. And most need substantial starting reps before they hit their strides. (Few people saw much potential in a young Tom Brady, either). Everybody points to the young QBs at FSU and OSU -- but those QBs are a) exceptional and b) surrounded by NFL-caliber lines and RBs. Give Shane a minute to prove himself before you summarily dismiss him. [Title]

Input: [Date] 31 weeks 3 days ago [Body] It's highly unlikely that M will have to pay SF anything. By most accounts, NFL contracts are restrictive only re the NFL. A coach can quit the NFL, and therefore his NFL contract, at any time, without penalty. It's unlikely Harbaugh's contract prohibits him from leaving for the college ranks. I'm not sure such a contract would even be legal. [Title]

Output: I don't believe any coaches


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Hard to say what our decommits will do. Generally, though, Harbaugh's arrival would no doubt have a sensational impact on this recruiting class. He's one of the true coaching rock stars. He'll pull at least a few big recruits. Also, given his reputation with QBs, don't be surprised if he makes a serious run at one of the most coveted QB recruits -- to go along with Malzone, presumably. (Given that M has no established QBs, I could see Harbaugh taking two this year. Yes, it's a small class. But all coaching changes bring attrition, and this class could easily exceed 16). Four of the top QB prospects -- Rosen, Town, White, Browning -- are from California, where Harbaugh's reputation looms especially large. All four are committed elsewhere. But here's guessing at least one of them would return Harbaugh's calls. [Title]

And the AD has ample money to offer Harbaugh. The rest is out of Schlissel's hands. Also, if we're to glean anything from comments made by botth Schissel and Hackett, it's that M has limited its candidate-pool to coaches who haven't taken "short-cuts." That's a bold statement -- especially if they hold true to it. We'll see. [Title]

The recent graduation rate is great. But M, like so many other schools, has frequently steered students down the ol' General Studies/Kinesiology path. Neither is necessarily bad. But they tend to be the paths of least resistence, academically speaking. I assume a brilliant educator like Schlissel, having reviewed everything, had reason to come to his initial conclusion. He simply thinks M could do better on this front. Which is true. His apology, I'd imagine, was mostly a diplomatic one. [Title]

Input: [Date] 33 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Gil Brandt is such an ass. He's the guy reporters call when they need somebody to say something quotable. He's been out of the game for a while.

The Morris incident escalates the situation on a national level because of the emphasis we have put on player safety on all levels over the last couple of years. I believe the UM fan base and the MGoBlog community would still be just as anxious to get rid of Broke (Brandon & Hoke) just due to the 2-3 start, our record over Power 5 teams, and the overall decline of the progam. It just wouldn't be on the ABC nightly news broadcast. Of course the Morris incident wouldn't make too many waves if we were 5-0. They didn't impeach Clinton just because of Monica but it didn't help his case.

Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Title] KIDSZONE [Body]

Output: I received an email from UM during the week prior to the App St game. There was a promo in it for KIDSZONE seats for $40 + tshirt (for the kids). My boys had never been to a game so at $40 a pop I jumped on it. There was a miscommunication regarding the tshirts so we didn't get them. I didn't really care I was just happy to get $40 tickets. They sent me an email the following week apologizing for the screw up with the tshirts and offered to mail me the shirts AND complimentary tickets to an up coming game (select games of course). I had already purchased 6 tickets at the $40 KIDSZONE pricing for the Minn game. I asked for possible credit toward the tickets I already bought and they said they can't refund tickets so it was either 3 tickets to another game or MDen gift cards. I thought it was great they offered to correct the oversight but found it pretty interesting they were going to give me 3 free tickets just because they screwed up on giving my kids $10 tshirts. Another thing that I never thought I would see....When I went to pick up my tickets at will call (at Crisler) people were just walking up and buying tickets. The cashier/attendant even asked "where would you like to sit". Seriously? Obviously things are down right now but I never thought I'd see the day you could just walk up and buy tickets the day of like going to a minor league baseball game. Made me a little sad. I think you can still get the KIDSZONE deal just by using the promo code KIDSZONE. There is very little choice of seats but I didn't really care my boys are only 5 and 8. One last thing. When leaving Crisler after getting our tickets we walked up the stairs and into the stadium right behind Levert and Irvin. It was pretty cool seeing them up close like that. Not everyday you see dudes that tall walking around.

Output: If you're a fan of this team you will stand by it's side even in it's darkest hour. If you don't do that how do you consider yourself a fan? It's the very definition of badwagon fan and will not allow anyone to brand me with that label. I will wear my Michigan gear today and wear it proudly. If you can't find it in your heart to do the same today, or a week, or 2 weeks from now, then find a new team because you're not a fan of this one.

Output: They also have/had the most potent offense in baseball so they could afford to sacrifice some offense to make their rotation absolutely dominant.

Output: I was thinking the same thing. A few weeks back I heard an ESPN radio host ask an analyst if Hoke was on the hot seat and he said yes. I'm not an expert or professional analyst but I keep up on UM sports as much as I can and haven't heard anything about him being on the hot seat. So what is the basis of this analyst saying he is on the hot seat? Just pure, blind, speculation? Or real knowledge? I would guess the former. I can't fault someone for assuming he is on the hot seat just due to a couple mediocre seasons but I would expect an "expert analyst" to have some real proof or evidence before making such claims.

Output: He's been quieter than I would like. I don't think he's been playing to his strengths this series. That might be a testament to how TB has defended him, but I wonder if he's been trying to do too much.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Not just comparable [Body]

Output: But worse, even. I'd say that Palat's hit on Glendening was worse than Kronwall's hit. Then you've got Zidlicky out with a concussion and no one seems to be bothering to look at Morrow's high hit (with an elbow) on him that wasn't even done to defend the play. Then there's Subban's two-hander. No suspension. Byfuglien's utter cheap shot on Corey Perry. No suspension. I'm not defending Kronwall's hit. At the time, I thought it was clean, but when I took a few more looks at it, I can see why he got suspended. Strangely, though, if Kronwall had done what the league says is a legal hit, the outcome might actually have been worse. And Kronwall's making a defensive play and not intending to injure. Again, not saying he's innocent here, but there's a consistency problem with supplementary discipline.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Maybe I don't get it [Body]

Output: I suppose having an ego that would make you resist being moved to the bullpen may be part of what makes a starting pitcher successful, but it seems to me that if the writing is on the wall and it's clear that you are not the pitcher you once were (at least as a starter), then it's not so bad to be changed to a relief pitcher. You still get to play the game you love (unless you're just burned out), get paid a pretty good sum to do it (and at that point, money is not likely to be much of a problem for you anyway), and still get to contribute to a team (even better if that team is a playoff contender). There are worse ways to finish a career.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 3 days ago [Title] There are years left in the tank [Body]

Output: I don't know how awesome they'll be, but if he heals properly and is managed properly, he'll still be a good #2 or #3 starter for a few more seasons. Fans, though, will need to adjust their expectations - as others have commented, he will likely not return to Cy Young levels of performance. Fewer (if any) complete games and no more hitting 98-99 mph on the radar gun in the 8th inning. He's now on the wrong side of 30, has pitched a lot of innings, has had increasing problems with injuries, and so forth. But he could still get the Tigers around 15 wins a season, and that's not nothing.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] This is exactly what I do [Body]

Output: Seriously, I've done it for years. I have many friends and acquaintances (not to mention my older brother) who are Sparty fans. Now me and my brother will get into it, because we know we're just talking shit and it's no big deal. But with everyone else, this is how I act. And sometimes, my Sparty interlocutor will not believe that that's how I feel and tries to press it further, but I don't fall for it. Then they just don't know what to do.

Output: Lake Michigan tends to get the love, but I like Huron just as much.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I do like it a great deal here [Body]

Output: It would be no surprise to me at all if I lived here in Seattle for many more years. At this point, that is probably the mostly likely outcome and that would be just fine. I'm just more open to moving back to Michigan if the opportunity was right than I was several years ago. That opportunity may never come along, and if so, I'll be happy here too.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Funny you should post on this [Body]

Output: I live in Seattle, Washington right now (and have for the past 14 years or so) and I've been contemplating a move back to Michigan myself. No concrete plans, and I may never actually do it, but I'm more open to doing so than I was 10 years ago. Seattle is a great place, and I know a lot of folks would say I'm crazy to even think about moving back to Michigan. If I did move back, though, Ann Arbor would be among my top choices. It's one of my favorite places ever.

Output: My high school commencement exercises were held at the Silverdome.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I've attended the rivals of both teams in the NC [Body]

Output: Undergrad: U-M Grad school: Oregon State and University of Washington. So, um, yeah.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I was also thinking of Harbaugh vs. Dantonio [Body]

Output: They've both pretty intense fellows so this should be interesting to see play out, that is, if Dantonio doesn't complain next that it's "disrespectful" for Michigan State to have to go to Michigan to play games every other season.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Yep. [Body]

Output: It's a preemption.

Output: A fine winter beer.

Output: ...are awful.

Output: Wishing you all the best for a full recovery.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: Nike supplies OSU's gear as well.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 22 hours ago [Title] I've always liked Devin [Body]

Output: Sure, I could be critical of his play (maybe a bit unfairly from time to time), but I've always been impressed by his character and his resilience. He could have left Michigan for another school - and who would have blamed him, in retrospect? - but stayed here and did everything that was asked of him. And just when you think you've seen enough, he does something like this. That's the Michigan Difference.


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 15 min ago [Title] It's not just today's youth [Body]

Output: I don't think the young people of today are any less empathetic than any generation that preceded them. The issues this article raises go back a very, very long time.


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] Re rape culture [Body]

Output: It's a charged term, to be sure, but I can't think of any story I've read in recent memory that illustrates how it works better than this article. It works on so many levels here: the "friends" who showed no empathy for Jackie and were more worried about their social lives, the guy who brought her there who acted afterward like nothing wrong had happened, and the institutional practices that served to conceal the extent of the problem, among other things.


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] It's a horrible story [Body]

Output: But, if you can bring yourself to do so, you should read it. It's a very powerful story and something that more people should know about.


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] I don't get too upset about this kind of thing [Body]

Output: A player has to do what he feels is best for his future. If Weber thinks going somewhere other than Michigan is the best move, then I respect that. At the same time, if a player doesn't want to play for Michigan, fine. We'll find someone else to replace him.


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 23 hours ago [Title] He will, though. [Body]

Output: There's at least one more game we'll have to live through before he gets the firm handshake.


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 6 days ago [Title] What's funny [Body]

Output: The same opposing fans who laughed at Michigan for having Rodriguez as head coach are now laughing at Michigan for firing him, as if that was their position all along.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 44 min ago [Title] Agreed [Body]

Output: No need for that shit.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 1 day ago [Title] A guy I once knew [Body]

Output: He said pretty much the same about Notre Dame: "Everyone I know who went to Notre Dame was a dickhead. In fact, I think they have a checkbox on their application that says, 'I am a dickhead' and if you don't check it, you don't get in."


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Glad you said something [Body]

Output: Stuff like, "the women would be worse" (how exactly?) is really not very mature. I hope he grows out of it.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Body] In Lisle, but pulling for MagnUM! [Title]

Output: I'll be at the Chicago Wildfire game


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I came across this game 3 years ago and have since, gone from a neophyte to owner of one of the professional teams in the AUDL (professional league). I even had a magnUM player on my team last year and one of M's women players (Flywheel) working with me. I don't want to use MGoBlog as an advertisement for my personal interest in Ultimate, so won't embed any highlights, but if you don't know the game, get to know it. It's unbelievably athletic, strong value set that every parent wants to teach their kids and played by over 5 million people in the US alone. Awesome game. [Title]

Output: Ultimate Frisbee is awesome!


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 2 days ago [Body] at my dentist's office down on Wacker. To be honest, I was introduced to him only as Ernie and didn't realize who it was. We talked for awhile and he was just a kind and respectful man. When I told him I was originally from Detroit, he couldn't stop talking about Al Kaline. It didn't seem as if they knew each other, he was just a fan. I always liked him, but after that, I liked him a little more. RIP Mr. Banks. [Title]

Output: I met Ernie about 5 years ago


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 3 days ago [Body] This is not directed specifically at MichiganSports, but I long for the days when the credibility of the material I read is greater than a 50/50 shot. Tom VH is a friend and was responsible for getting me to join MGoBlog years ago and while I don't post much, I've really enjoyed the blog over the years for both its information and entertainment value. However, it now seems the majority of posts are speculation disguised as information and not nearly as enjoyable. I'm sure someone is going to tell me that if I don't like it I can leave - and they're right. I just hope I don't have to. Thanks and Go Blue! [Title]

Output: So much misinformation in threads lately.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 days ago [Body] initially referred to the ideals that Michigan stood for, not that he was connected with the University at some point in the past, whether within a short or long-term tenure. If that's correct, we don't have to forget the past, we should embrace it and appoint coaches whose value set reflect that (and you know, actually be able to coach) - regardless of whether they've ever worn Blue before, or not. [Title]

Output: I thought being a Michigan Man


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 6 days ago [Body] When a person can not defend themselves, the classic reaction is to alter the focus and put the other party on the defensive. So, instead of defending the indefensible on his side, he puts the attention on fans and puts them on the defensive. Sorry Brady, too transparent. This isn't about "real" Michigan fans, it's about whether we have a "real" coach. Keep the focus where it belongs. [Title]

Output: Classic cracks in the armor comment.

Output: Sorry, don't know how to delete


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 1 day ago [Body] it's the feeling that there is absolutely no flow when at games anymore. You just feel like you never get to see more than about 3-4 plays before there's another stoppage. Very frustrating to be so excited for M football, see a possession growing and then have to stop again. EDIT: Sorry, I don't know how to delete the copies! [Title]

Output: It's not that the game is longer,

Input: [Date] 52 weeks 6 hours ago [Body] nutshell! I admittedly don't know the team as well as Michiganman2014, so reading this was enlightening and got my motor going! I'm now late for work but who cares, I'm stoked! As many stated, my concern (mild) is with the O-line. In particular, I'm very interested to see how Magnuson does with the change and am holding my breathe just a bit with Kalis. I believe in him, but he needs huge improvement this year. I saw a comment from one poster stating that a simplified play-set by Nuss would help the O-line tremendously and I sense it could help Kalis the most. Damn, you got me excited for this year! THanks MM14. [Title]

Output: Haven't posted in over a year, but you just pulled me out of my

Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] I spent a summer in Atlanta in the 80's and remember seeing that. I also remember the golf course at Stone Mountain, which if I remember right, was pretty fun. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! [Title]

Output: Wow, I can't believe they still do that!

Input: [Date] 3 years 9 weeks ago [Body] Ok, to be honest, I only listened to 15 seconds so I'm not sure how bad the whole thing was. I literally couldn't subject myself to listening to any more. One big UGHHHH! [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Body] jmdblue, I appreciate your honest effort at an evaluation. I can't do the same. I've disliked this guy from the beginning (way before the M piece) simply because he comes across as very amateur-ish. The M piece was just the icing on the cake. Does he deserve to go to SI? Who knows. I'm just glad he's going anywhere. [Title]

Output: jmdblue, I appreciate your


Input: [Date] 3 years 13 weeks ago [Body] I "liked" the site and posted a separate statement on FB. I really hope this kid is found and someone close kicks is ass for being so irresponsible (although it's certainly something I would have done at his age - and should have gotten my ass kicked too). That would be so much better than the alternative. Prayers to his family for a safe and quick return. [Title]

Output: I "liked" the site and posted


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] I've never seen that commercial - loved it! I live in Chicago, but get back to see my parents in Saline once a month. I rarely go up into AA but that commercial just clinched it, I'm going next week. Btw, Helle, you undoubtedly have my favorite avatar! I have six words for you. . .thank you, thank you, thank you. [Title]

Output: I've never seen that


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] I agree with the comments of those suggesting that the West is going to be a beast to get through. While Phoenix may be the only team in the top 6 without a chance to come out of the west, San Jose at 7 certainly has a chance. I also completely agree with those stating the importance of a healthy Helm. In fact, the health of many Wings will affect our chances. While many are back, they simply are not healthy. Helm's knee, Cleary's knee and Howard's groin are all concerns, IMO. Being healthy enough to dress and being truly healthy are two very different things. Btw, thanks to goblueram for setting up the MGoBlog challenge bracket! Go Wings! [Title]

Output: I agree with the comments of


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Body] I read the title, let out a resounding FUCK!, opened the thread, and murmurred a SHIT, as I knew I had been had. I'm half laughing and half pissed off right now. Oh well, Ohio lost so it's still a good day, but you are definitely now on my Biatch List! lol [Title]

Output: I read the title, let out a


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Body] I loved the film of this kid. I see what you're saying about not being explosive but he is square to his guy on every block and appears "county boy strong". He seems like a kid that will never be a 10 but will always be an 8. The first play set up the whole tape - he tossed his guy aside like a rag doll. Definitely will be interested in seeing how he progresses physically. [Title]

Output: I loved the film of this


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Skapanza, I was reading the posts in this thread and while I found them entertaining, I then saw yours and starting laughing my ass off! Thanks for the giggle dude! [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Body] I don't know that what I'm about to say is much different than what many have already said but seriously, I always enjoyed your posts. There's a lot of pissing and moaning from time to time, but you're one of the few posters from an enemy camp that was always respectful and seemed to truly have his ear to the ground. I don't know where the backlash is coming from or to what level, but I hope you brush it aside and continue on. If not, it's been a joy reading your material. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Body] I agree with Michfan4borw, myblueheaven and others that have indicated any players right to pursue their life after college. I, like most here, am fairly fanatical about my support for M and would hate to see Burke go. However, we have to keep in mind that he, like all of us, are going down the road that we believe leads to the life we want to live. The difference with athletes is that during their "preparation" for life, they also face injury risks that can end their dream in an instant. In many cases, these athletes are the best hope for a better life for a whole family as well. At this point, Burke is only exploring options and evaluating opportunities. While I would hate to see him go and think it would be a mistake, I have NO problem with him trying to make an intelligent decision that is in the best interests of him and his family. Finallly, lets keep in mind that he has worked his ass off to become what he is this year and by extension, brought a lot of us a ton of joy and pride in what M accomplished this year. [Title]

Output: I agree with Michfan4borw,

Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Thanks Magnus. It's ironic you posted this as I've been wondering how a guy like him feels in light of Shallman and all the talk about back recruiting. I wondered how he might see the fullback position and his role as such. It sure seems clear that he understands the role and embraces it. Love his comment about not being scared of anyone. He sounds like a "search and destroy" guy. Thanks again. [Title]

Output: Thanks Magnus. It's ironic

Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Body] I love the LB's. Admittedly, I don't know enough about Bars to truly compare the OL guys collectively, but I love the Kalis, Mags, Braden trio! Obviously, the 13' OL group is stellar but I'm just as excited to see how their being here pushes the 12' OL group. Watching this is going to be fun! [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 1 week ago [Title] Caliber of Recruit [Body]

Output: How can we all not be excited by the caliber of recruit who visit on their own dime! Hoke and the staff are exceeding expectations on a weekly basis. We get Green and Peppers with Hand a legit possibility, outstanding! If they managed to beat LSU and BAMA for Fournette Michigan will be on a whole new recruiting level, a level the program has never been.

Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Breslin Blues [Body]

Output: Michigan is down by 10 pts just by entering the Breslin center but somehow overcome the terrible B1G refs...errr, Home Court advantage to win 75 - 68 in a much closer contest.


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Title] OL Baby! [Body]

Output: It all starts with the big uglies and Hoke has delivered! If the 2012 and 2013 work out we could have something special in 2014 - 2016.


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Welcome [Body]

Output: He fits the mold for a proto typical "West Coast" offense QB. Good footwork will be key in the play action to the FB or H back. We are not going to get a top notch guy with Shane just signing so getting a kid you can coach up is perfect.

Output: Offense snaps the streak of not scoring a touchdown in 8 quarters with a big play (50+) on the opening drive...


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Title] Contract clauses [Body]

Output: Universities would put that sort of clause in a contract where if you take our team to a lower level or two, it's automatic firing without compensation....


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Title] Recruiting focus [Body]

Output: I think that would make coaches focus more on recruiting players they know would stick around. It would prevent a Kentucky-esque basketball situtaion where Calipari recruit five kids that win him the title and they all leave... Coaches would have to encourage the children to stay in school longer, thus more houses of learn-ed doctors, as Dale Dobeck would say.

Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Title] Green Bay will be the best option [Body]

Output: The WIAA is more than likely going to end up using the Resch Center in Green Bay....currently used by USHL's Green Bay Gamblers (Alex Kile!!), the UWGB men's basketball team and various concerts and expo shows....it's the best optino and the Green Bay community is excited about the option.


Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Title] He was out anyway [Body]

Output: As it says in the rule exerpt, "It also is incomplete when a player leaves his feet and receives the pass but first lands on or outside a boundary line, unless his progress has been stopped in the field of play or end zone" He landed on the boundary line, and his progress didn't stop in the field of play....regardless of the ball hitting the ground. He was out. Don't understand why the side judge even thought it was a grab....He was out from the get go


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] High school wings [Body]

I keep clicking on "cjm's blog" and I don't see it, so I go back I click on "San Diego State Wallpaper" and it takes me here...not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions?

Output: I like how his top four teams from the conference are all from the "West" Division (Neb, Mich, MSU and Iowa)...I guess I can't blame him because he's probably just as confused as the rest of us as to who plays in which division...


Input: [Date] 3 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Nice work H-Town [Body]

Output: Too bad I was one year ahead in school, and we only roomed for one year. I got witness (from row 4) the No. 1 v. No. 2 in Columbus... We had the projection screen TV in the apartment for Tigers Playoffs '06, Wii bowling (when it was RAWK ON, MAN!), Michigan baseball in Super Regionals and all the (Insert fake holiday here) parties. Reindeer piss! Anyway, good luck in Austin. It's crazy how those years seem so far away...

Output: The music at the beginning of the highlights was the best music on the clip....i couldn't even watch the rest of the highlights because the music was so terrible. Was that like female rap/techno....? Using the indie-style music for these clips is the best thing that ever happened last year, and you should do the same...


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Three-way Finals [Body]

Output: I think I'm confused how New York athletics work because you said "there were 3 teams that went to the state finals" How did three teams compete in a state finals? Thus, I think I'm confused...


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Shouldn't happen [Body]

Output: Spread 'N Shred teams shouldn't line up in the I-form EVER Yes, a fullback is necessary when runing the I-form, but the formation should've never been an option against Illinois because of the lack of the fullback


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 weeks ago [Title] In the NFL it's up to the [Body]

Output: In the NFL it's up to the player what he wants....Strahan used the no-sleeve jersey style, while Brady likes the floppy sleeves. But you're point was very correct about Denard wearing the Techfit style...


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 weeks ago [Title] The Chargers' [Body]

Output: The Chargers' throwbacks/full-time uniforms are horrible...Light blue is terrible, and the white helmets look like 4th-grade Pop Warner helmets...pitiful


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 weeks ago [Title] The stitching on the "M" is [Body]

Output: The stitching on the "M" is very similar to the "M" stictching that I have on my white hockey jersey hanging in my closet. It's really not bad. It's not made to look crinkly like others suggest, it's simply a style of sewing... Granted my hockey jersey is a NIKE brand, but it's the exact same stitching style...


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] What was Prepseer talking about? [Body]

Output: The kid's a sophomore and has NFL size. He throws the deep ball really tight and was moving in the pocket well enough to find a late-breaking receiver. I don't know how someone couldn't be excited for a kid who throws the rock that well as a sophomore. Also, I don't know why the video editor felt the need to circle-highlight a kid playing quarterback?!?


Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Title] well said [Body]

Output: I agree. I skewed away from the original stance and argued against something he/she wasn't actually arguing for...my bad.


Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Title] correct [Body]

Output: After reading your synopsis and then rereading the original post, I can see your point that I may have skewed from the stance... I was talking about numbers


Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Title] Or... [Body]

Output: UConn and Tenn. womens bball, and ACC soccer, and IVY League lacrosse, and IVY League crew. There are certainly teams and sports that women have created a culture for and they wouldn't go away.


Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Title] rebuttal [Body]

Output: "...by forcing schools to treat female athletes as equal to male athletes." I'm just going to point at the elephant in the room and say they aren't equal in terms of athleticism at the college level. "...if high schools started cutting girls' sports, then women's sports at the college level might start drying up..." This would be good for colleges who could start, to you know, break out of the red and get back into the black. You know, start working with a budget and not always be in debt... The economy is so bad that it takes drastic measures, and if Title IX was repealed for 5 or 6 years, it would allow schools to start making money. I am for women's rights, but I dont necessarily think playing sports in college is a right. It's a gift. Most college athletes (men and women) don't have the gift, so why should a school be forced to recruit these athletes just to field a team in order for the schools to have equal teams to let their profitable sports exist.

Output: you never know. Odoms is smaller in height than him, but he's a pretty good outside receiver, with his downfield blocking and stuff. Maybe this guy will be the same kinda deal.

Output: seeing as I'm only 20 years old. But I would say that, for the seemingly insignificant numbers of years I have watched hockey, Nick Lidstrom is the best I've ever seen. I think we can call him the best of this generation, eh?

Input: [Date] 7 weeks 10 hours ago [Title] I think BC should be higher [Body]

Output: I think BC should be higher on that list in reality. I've lived around Boston for my entire life and have only known 2 non-alum BC fans. It's the combination of a lack of interest in college sports in the area and the fact that people really find BC to be arrogant and annoying. Maybe if they were successful it would be different but they're not. They caught lightning in a bottle with Doug Flutie in the 80's and haven't done anything since. They fired their most successful recent football coach for daring to interview with the NFL and fired their most successful basketball coach of all time for no apparant reason. They are just the worst. EDIT: I should also mention that if you do care about college sports in this area you were likely a Big East hoops fan and hold a grudge against BC for single-handidly starting its demise to go play schools below the Mason Dixon line. Did I mention I don't like BC?


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Providence at 100/1 with the [Body]

Output: Providence at 100/1 with the best point guard in the nation is attractive.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] If I remember correctly, [Body]

Output: If I remember correctly, Countess was recruited by and commited to Rich Rod and then reaffirmed his commitment to Hoke? Is he the last player with a Rich Rod connection on the roster?


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I'm a big Providence College [Body]

Output: I'm a big Providence College hoops fan. I'm very excited about this series and thrilled that it honors the memory of the legendary Dave Gavitt, former PC coach and founder of the Big East. I love the new incarnation of the Big East. I don't miss any of the schools that have defected. The Friars have a much better chance to compete in a conference with smaller, like-minded, basketball-centric schools. It's a throwback to what the conference was originally supposed to be about. I think the series will be beneficial for both conferences but probably more so for the Big East. Out of conference schedules and performance are huge for a 10 team league. Hopefully in the years to come Michigan will make a trip out to Providence to play on Dave Gavitt Court. I would definitely be in attendence.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I love the 30 minute Gallon [Body]

Output: I love the 30 minute Gallon documentary and how it's the "official" Jeremy Gallon documentary. Don't be fooled by imitations.

Input: [Date] 1 year 7 weeks ago [Title] Very important cause. My dad [Body]

Output: Very important cause. My dad passed away of leukemia in 2011. He had a bone marrow transplant from a donor in Germany that they thought was successful at first but his cancer returned. I'll never forget the kindness of that stranger to give my dad a chance at life so it was an easy choice for me to join Be The Match. It's also a great thing to donate blood and platelets.

Output: In New England we always thought Pete was a happy-go-lucky idiot. Turns out he's stupid like a fox.


Input: [Date] 1 year 11 weeks ago [Title] Brady spent the AFC [Body]

Output: Brady spent the AFC Championship game last year forcing balls to Austin Collie because he was the only one he trusted at that point. I think Gallon is gonna have a great shot to not only make the Pats but thrive. I see them entrusting him with return duties right away to reduce wear and tear on Edelman.


Input: [Date] 1 year 12 weeks ago [Title] People here and around the [Body]

Output: People here and around the country forget what originally made the Big East great. The lack of football and the ability to keep northeastern city kids local caused its original success in the 80's. The conference became a national laughing stock because of what happened with its football programs but that was never supposed to be the emphasis. Now they have a chance to remake themselves in the image that the great Dave Gavitt always had in mind. I believe they will more than hold their own against the B1G. Some of the opinions on this thread are shortsighted and don't show a solid understanding of the history of the sport or where it's headed. Edit: For context I should add that I'm a die hard Providence fan.

Output: BC is not a major program. They are in a major conference though.


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Title] Mediocre? The winningest [Body]

Output: Mediocre? The winningest coach in the history of the school, 7 tournaments in 13 years, ran a clean program and moved them past their prior point shaving/gambling scandals. I hate BC but you can't say Al Skinner was mediocre.

Output: That was a real meeting of the minds.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] My high school teams were the [Body]

Output: My high school teams were the Blue Raiders so I always root for Middle Tennessee. Our logo/mascot was an eagle for some reason. MTSU went with what looks like a winged horse with a lightning bolt coming out of its mouth. Both solid choices.

Output: The thread that created Lloyd Brady. Not sure how to go about finding it though.
