Output: That 3rd down play with Rawls


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] It will be absolutely critical to get a score when we get the ball to start the 2nd half. A field goal would be okay. A touchdown would be spectacular. [Title]

Output: It will be absolutely

Output: He is missing this season due


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] You keep on bringing up Minnesota's 11th ranked pass D in the country. This is who they played: @UNLV, New Hampshire, Western Michigan, Syracuse, @ Iowa, Northwestern, @ Wisconsin, Purdue, and then us. The best passing offense out of all those is Syracuse. Only two teams out of nine on their schedule so far are in the top 68 in pass offense. Do you wanna know where Minnesota ranks nationally in rush defense? 81st. There's a reason why teams aren't passing on them, and that's because teams are running it on them. [Title]

Output: You keep on bringing up


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] I knew as soon as DG started to perform well this past Saturday that people would start questioning Denard starting at quarterback ever again and it made me want to crawl in a hole. Devin playing well is spectacular. What that means however is that we now know we have a more than adequate backup behind Denard and then more than likely he will be the quarterback full time in 2013. Enjoy DG's performance, please. But don't question one of the all time greats of Michigan. [Title]

Output: I knew as soon as DG started

Input: [Date] 24 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] Great post, Seth! Really well [Body]

Output: Great post, Seth! Really well written and thought out, and I think you make excellent points.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Holy crap! This is funny. I'm [Body]

Output: Holy crap! This is funny. I'm not alone in wanting to make an effort to make sure my coworkers and employees are comfortable. I don't think that makes me a little bitch, or is in any way dependent on me being good at my job. Note: I'm not worried about getting fire or in any way actually punished. I'm trying to be respectful to others. Maybe if you stop being such an ass you'll eventually find yourself in a similar position, where blowing of some time at work is no ones concern but your own.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Man, it's gotta be hard being [Body]

Output: Man, it's gotta be hard being so perfect. Never effing off at work, probably always eating right, giving to charity and just rocking out and living the perfect life, all the while being stuck here with the likes of us. A bunch of jerks that read Mgoblog AT WORK! Of all places! I'll ask you to reserve your judgment and shut up next time you want to get high and mighty. Most professional jobs allow you to take some time during the day to "eff off." For the record, I'm more concerned with the bikini pic avatars making my secretary uncomfortable than of getting caught by my boss.

Output: Would Roman also coach a position? If so, which? Or is he just a coordinator?


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 1 day ago [Title] If he drops the mic and walks [Body]

Output: If he drops the mic and walks away, he wouldn't be able to insult several millions of michigan fans when a few question him. #theshield


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 2 days ago [Title] If he would have turned us [Body]

Output: If he would have turned us down early in the process, then there would be no hard feelings. At this point, if he turns us down it is hard to see his actions as anything other than playing Michigan. I think he'd be a villain.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Counterpoint: I'm willing to [Body]

Output: Counterpoint: I'm willing to bet there would have been no drop off between our second and third string QBs either. Frankly, there really wasn't that much of a drop-off from our 1st string to our 2nd string QB.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Also, Urban's offense under [Body]

Output: Also, Urban's offense under Addazio was pretty crappy. Urban's unquestionably a good coach, but history does suggest he relies on his coordinators.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Is it possible that football [Body]

Output: Is it possible that football passed the curse back to basketball? If so, the positive is that we can look forward to a good football season.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 4 days ago [Title] So, I'm torn ...On the one [Body]

Output: So, I'm torn ... On the one hand, I feel like I should attack the messenger of all negative Harbaugh news. On the other hand, I love all things Charles Woodson and cannot brig myself to attack him.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I'm honestly not tying to [Body]

Output: I'm honestly not tying to challenge you, so please don't take this as that. However, I have to suspect the former AD you spoke with is Bill Martin, and based on your conversation it seems like he is more plugged into this coaching search than the one in 2007 when he was ON A FUCKING SAILBOAT at the critical juncture with Les Miles. If memory serves, Mary Sue actually stepped in and was instrumental in bringing in Rich Rod. Like I said, I'm not trying to challenge the veracity of your post, but I'm just frustrated that it seems like everyone seems to have their shit together EXCEPT when they are at UM. When Brady starts winning with a coherent spread offense at Oregon State, we'll know it's time to apologize to the gypsy.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I'm not trying to be a jerk, [Body]

Output: I'm not trying to be a jerk, but can someone explain the "in before delete" posts?

Output: Miles. Mora Jr. BRADY HOKE. All superior to Schiano and Addazio.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Vegas doesn't try to "know" [Body]

Output: Vegas doesn't try to "know" anything. Lines/odds are adjusted based on the bets being made, so that they make money. If all of the action is on one side, even as the odds are quartered, it signals a problem to Vegas so they pull it off the board. Even for "chump-change" bets - if these weren't monitored as closely as any other bet, Vegas would get killed on them. Vegas only reacts to the betting public. In this case, if the betting public is betting one position so heavily that Vegas takes that bet of the board, it signals that something has happened or some info has leaked causing the heavy betting.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 11 min ago [Title] So, you think Vegas is being [Body]

Output: So, you think Vegas is being all loosey-goosey with their odds? Like, "oh, hey! That's a lot of money coming in on that one bet. Let's quarter the odds and then take the bet off the board!" Odds and game lines are actually set by some pretty smart people, and are also monitored by some pretty smart people. When a bet is getting too much action, Vegas tries to limit their exposure by lowering the chance of winning on that bet or the payout for winning on that bet (e.g., by decreasing the odds or improving/increasing the odds for an opposite bet, changing a game line, etc.), which also encourages bettors to bet differently. This is usually a slow process that involves small nudges in one direction or the other. A drastic shift - and 8-1 to 2-1 to off-the-board is drastic, especially over the course of a day - shows that something has changed or there is some new info (for example, look at the OSU vs Wisc line after JT got hurt). This isn't quite the same as a game line changing because there is no betting "against" Harbaugh to Michigan (a lot of against bets would push the odds back up into balance with what the bettors are taking). I'd be interested to know what happened to the line on other coaches or the field. If those all proportionally increased AND the money kept coming in on Harbaugh, then you can be almost certain that Harbaugh is coming and that either something changed last night and/or some info leaked.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 47 min ago [Title] This was actually the first [Body]

Output: This was actually the first thing that came to mind when Ace first wrote about his health issues. I'd like to think some doctor has checked blood sugar by now, but in my experience that isn't always the case. Good luck, man.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] Maybe if the odds moved over [Body]

Output: Maybe if the odds moved over a few days or weeks. Overnight? There is no way that we, as an alumni/fan base, collectively came together and pushed the line this severely. This move is the result of a lot (LOT) of money that came in over a short time period, and kept coming in despite the odds crashing through the floor to the point that Vegas eventually took the bet off the board. This may not be as rock solid as "insider info," ( sarcastic!) but this means something. Most likely something positive.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] My sources are telling me [Body]

Output: My sources are telling me Urban is the #1 target for the 49ers.

Output: I'm not sure. Let me know if he doesn't so I can start sending him hate mail.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 19 hours ago [Title] Ugh. Sean Payton, Bill [Body]

Output: Ugh. Sean Payton, Bill Belichek, Jim Harbaugh ... Why don't they just make the obvious hire and ressurect Bo?


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 4 days ago [Title] For everyone saying it's [Body]

Output: For everyone saying it's either impossible or wouldn't save Hoke's job ... You should remember that most of the 90s was built on mediocre seasons that closed with a win over OSU. It's been a while, but I think people forget how good it feels to beat OSU. A win there and Hoke is almost certainly back, IMO.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Just curious ...How much is [Body]

Output: Just curious ... How much is Weis now getting paid to not coach? The man really is a genius.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Gary AndersonThe guy is a [Body]

Output: Gary Anderson The guy is a good and versatile coach, when he isn't inexplicably sitting Melvin Gordon.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] Gary AndersonI know he just [Body]

Output: Gary Anderson I know he just started with Wisconsin, but I remember thinking that he was a great hire. Previously, he had done a nice job turning around Utah State. I don't think he's regarded as being an offensive innovator, so he isn't likely to be a board favorite, but his history indicates that he's a good coach. I'm not sure if we could steal Wisconsin's coach - or what the B1G backlash would be (remember how salty Bielema got when Urban stole one of his recruits?!) - but I think this guy should be considered as a replacement for Brady (if the Harbaughs won't come).


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Title] This was such a strange year for football [Body]

Output: Nothing - NOTHING! - seemed to work. We couldn't run, our defense seemed to be OK, though not great, Devin was an interception machine for large portions of the year, the coaches were terrified of Devin being an interception machine for (different) large portions of the year and therefore limited Devin, Devin got hurt and couldn't run as well after MSU ... It goes on, and on, and on. Yet, still, we were 11 points from 11 wins. I ... just ... how???? Other than Gardner, Funchess, Gallon, and a reasonable defense, what kept this team from "Wolverine-quest"?


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] Great post! [Body]

Output: This inspired me to call up some old friends to reminisce. The energy on campus before that game was unreal. Just an amazing time to be at michigan!

Output: At quarterback, Number 98, #DevinGardner. Hashtags are super hot right now.


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] So ... [Body]

Output: If it makes money it must be good? This mindset brought Maryland and Rutgers to the B1G, and is rapidly eroding something special (college football - michigan in particular) into a generic, mediocre product. It's shortsighted at best.


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] Nice write-up! [Body]

Output: One of your best, IMO.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] He hired Bob Diaco who's had [Body]

Output: He hired Bob Diaco who's had one year with a tire fire of a roster. He tried to hire Narduzzi before that so he clearly is at least paying attention to up and coming coaches.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Title] The statistics show the balls [Body]

Output: The statistics show the balls were within a range at halftime that would indicate they were within a legal range at the beginning of the game. Unless you think the Patriots had a devious plan to overinflate the balls, get them tested, then deflate them to a lower, yet still legal, level, then it doesn't really make any sense.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Title] You figure worst case on [Body]

Output: You figure worst case on these kids is that they have the desire and drive but not quite the talent so they end up being productive depth players and starters by the end of their careers while also creating relationships and building pipelines into talent-rich places that Michigan hasn't really recruited that heavily in the past.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Title] https://www.youtube.com/watch [Body]

Output: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOmGMGUDPbk I don't think it's a bad call but it's definitely not as obvious as it would be now. Allow me to submit this 2006-2008 NFL best hits video as evidence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twO-Uxfa9-k

Output: I like the Arizona ones.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Having an experienced back up [Body]

Output: Having an experienced back up is very nice for you and I. Spending another year putting in all the work and time required to be an experienced back up is a totally different thing.


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Having been a big name in [Body]

Output: Having been a big name in California football for the last 8 years, it makes sense to try and capitalize on that and build some pipelines in the state.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 1 day ago [Title] As long as the hackers stick [Body]

Output: As long as the hackers stick to small things like identity theft or domestic abuse and stay away from the large issues like under inflated footballs the NFL is willing to let it slide.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Bellomy hasn't shown much but [Body]

Output: Bellomy hasn't shown much but neither have any of the other QBs on the roster. Assuming that neither of the true freshmen win the starting job, you'd probably want them to redshirt which would leave Speight as the only other option. Losing one of a not that large or experienced group of unproven players doesn't seem like a good trade off for that scholarship, especially this late in the recruiting period.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 3 days ago [Title] This happened TO the players [Body]

Output: This happened TO the players so they can actually investigate it.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 5 hours ago [Title] Mudblood is the bad word but [Body]

Output: Mudblood is the bad word but only because it means that they have dirtied their blood by mixing it with muggle blood. They obviously couldn't insult a wizard by calling them a muggle since they clearly have powers so they have to use a word that associates them with muggles. If you look at the word from a positive/Harry point of view, the word doesn't carry any negative connotaions, it's just used to refer to non-magical people. However, from a Voldemort point of view, muggle does carry a negative connotaion. Muggles (and to a certain extent squibs) are so far beneth the wizarding community that they aren't even worth mentioning and are best either killed off or enslaved by the purebloods. Without knowing which side a person is on, the term could be used derisively to show that the non-athletic population doesn't have merit or it could just be used simply as a way to show how different groups have differing opinions on the issue.

Output: If he's going to be a career backup, perhaps Cardale Jones should start playing more school.


Input: [Date] 1 year 4 days ago [Title] How is Stanford able to get [Body]

Output: How is Stanford able to get David Shaw to show up for work with all that money he has in his bank account? Or is that, somehow, a totally unrelated thing?

Output: They sell on Sundays now.


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] It's not hating on New Haven so much as saying why [Body]

Output: It's not hating on New Haven so much as saying why drive there if you're already in Hartford.


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] Liquor store close at 9 pm [Body]

Output: Liquor store close at 9 pm now. I've never seen someone get denied at a respectable establishment for having an out of state ID. Someone said it above but I also agree that you shouldn't go to New Haven, it's closer to 40 mins away and you can either head to West Hartford Center or you can stay in Hartford on Allyn and Ann St near the XL Center. Also, remember to read up on the greats from UConn teams past http://www.uconnhuskies.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/uconn-in-cfl.html.


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] Well said, I think a younger, [Body]

Output: Well said, I think a younger, less experienced team like the one this year is going to be more prone to getting up for big games and having the proverbial hangover for, what should be, cupcakes. Games like this even show that you have to show up every week and wins aren't just handed out and it should be a good lesson learned heading forward.


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] Is it too soon to start the [Body]

Output: Is it too soon to start the "Hoke can't recruit top tier defensive linemen meme?"


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] Wots was that if uconn beat Maryland it was going [Body]

Output: Wots was that if uconn beat Maryland it was going to be a late game but will now be at noon.

Output: Also listed ahead of Michigan: Texas and USC.

Output: In no particular order: Notre Dame MSU South Carolina


Input: [Date] 1 year 48 weeks ago [Title] It may not have been the proper but Brady is a [Body]

Output: It may not have been the proper but Brady is a major spokesman for and part owner of UA. I'm sure he would love to see Michigan in their uniforms.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] i think it would have to be [Body]

Output: i think it would have to be something along the lines of leaving your feet to launch at the other player would be a good determining factor. that plus leading with your head and aiming directly at the opposing player's face. if they went back to actually tackling instead of trying to make EPSN's highlight reel with a big hit, there would be a lot less ambiguity about the call. it would be harder to call it a hit on a defenseless player if you're wrapping your arms around for a tackle rather than just trying to blow the guy up.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] and i think a lot of this [Body]

Output: and i think a lot of this comes from something that drives me crazy as a football fan. basically once a player with the ball gets beyond the linebackers, tackling is no longer involved. how many times do you see DBs shoulder block a guy catching a ball near him, 90+%? if the guys actually wrapped their arms around and tackled i think just that in itself could take away some of the helmet to face you see so much of


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] time to start letting it go [Body]

Output: time to start letting it go man


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] Keep on the front page [Body]

Output: this needs to be kept on the front page somewhere, even if it's just the date somewhere to avoid the hundreds of threads between now and April asking if anyone knows when the game is.


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] i'm from NC and absolutely [Body]

Output: i'm from NC and absolutely can't stand duke and i know they'll lose a handfull of games this year but i seriously doubt this will be one of those


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] a lot like i tell my daughter [Body]

Output: a lot like i tell my daughter almost daily, don't get yourself in that position to where you can get caught up in something bad. either way it's a very unfortunate situation for all three to be in with their futures potentially changed forever.


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Title] For sports [Body]

Output: as far as sports go The Show is the best baseball game out there. i haven't played this years because i have last years and there really wasn't much new that mattered to me. NHL is always a solid choice as far as sports go as well. like someone said above, Red Dead Redemption can be found in game of the year edition for around $20 and you can waste away so many hours of your life on. this, just like the show, is more so a single player game IMO but NHL is a blast online but has some good offline features as well.


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] not going to lie [Body]

Output: i'm not going to lie and say that didn't bring a little tear to the eyes. it's great hearing about how these guys who are really still kids themselves putting in the time with kids who i'd imagine just want to forget where they are and why for just a little while. this was a great story about two great people, very nice


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] i ask because i honestly [Body]

Output: i ask because i honestly don't know any better but i looked at dead period and quiet period rules and i didn't see anything regarding statements from the university or anything like that as being a rules violation, only against contact beyond "hello" to recruits. what am i missing as far as any rules being broken?


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] i don't know... [Body]

Output: i don't know if i can go against ND. all season long i've pulled against them and hoped for them to lose, even as recently as last week when it was basically a 3-way tie at the top. BUT, now that it's this week and if ND loses it will in all likelihood be an all SEC NC game again, i'm more so pulling against that than a ND win. i dislike brian kelly and basically the whole ND team but as a college football fan i have gained a lot of respect for Manti Te'o as a football player and as a human this season, so in a way i rationalize it that way i guess.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] it's unbelieveable how much [Body]

Output: it's unbelieveable how much they believe it. i talked to a couple last night and one swears about how he knows someone that ran into someone that would know and he said it's a done deal, so it's gotta be the truth. the other tells me about how it was a done deal last week but when you ask why they haven't just come out and said it, this time it's because the MNF deal won't let them announce it until the last monday night game this season, which makes absolutely no sense to at all, but i'm a michigan fan so what do i know.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Kiffin == Herpes [Body]

Output: Kiffin is like a gift that keeps on giving, even when you don't want anymore


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] The fans hate Sunseri almost [Body]

Output: The fans hate Sunseri almost more than they hate Dooley but then again I know a lot of UT fans personally and they as a whole could possibly be one of the most irrational and delusional fanbases I've ever seen.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] very few. if you read some of [Body]

Output: very few. if you read some of the Tennessee boards, they all are certain he's coming and its just a matter of time. it's rather amusing reading come of their crap.


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Title] USA Today is doing their best [Body]

Output: USA Today is doing their best to make it happen. so far two SEC teams have passed USC in two weeks even though they haven't lost. same thing happened last year when bama and lsu passed oklahoma while all three teams were undefeated.


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Title] i'm not so certain i would [Body]

Output: i'm not so certain i would "vote" for the voiding of a LOI in the event of a coaching change. you hear all the time that players should commit to the school and not the coach, even though you can't blame an 18 yr old kid for getting attached to people that schmooze him and tell him everything he wants to hear for commiting to the coach rather than the school. i think if nothing else any school that's being investigated by the NCAA and there is even a slight possibility there may be a head coaching change coming because of said investigations, it might keep some players available to other schools by knowing that if they sign the LOI and the coach that offered and promised them more than other schools gets canned they're stuck there and won't be so fast to pull the trigger


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Title] I think one other thing that [Body]

Output: I think one other thing that makes a difference is how ESPN likes to tell everyone over and over that the SEC is the best and toughest conference. If you're an 18 yr old kid and you know that you're going to be seen by more people around the country by playing in the SEC because ESPN is going to show the majority of their games and you'll get even more face time on Sportscenter then why wouldn't you want to go there if exposure is one of the big things you're looking for. This I think helps funnel the players to the SEC more so than the other conferences as a whole, perception becomes reality.


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

Output: Yes Congratulations Tom and Ms. VH since she did most of the work up to this point. If only baby VH could have held out until tomorrow he would have the same bday as me.

Output: that stadium is literally less than 10 miles from my house and the field always looks that way. during the summer they use it as a race track and they have demolition derbys and all kinds of what not there that destroys the field. but you're right, you'd think they could do a little more to make the field at least playable on.


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Title] bad thing is it probably will [Body]

Output: bad thing is it probably will happen with how much espn and all the other press and media love them some SEC. i was pissed when alabama and lsu jumped oklahoma despite the sooners not losing or even having close games as far as i recall


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] i'll take the blame for this [Body]

Output: i'll take the blame for this one too, i gave up the traditional #1 jersey for a new M hoodie. it was so soft and comforting i couldn't not wear it. the question i have about that is should i have washed it first before wearing the first time, could that have made the difference. it will definately be washed before next saturday and IF i choose to wear it again an M loses, then anyone want a free hoodie?


Input: [Date] 3 years 40 weeks ago [Title] i'm not really sure of a way [Body]

Output: i'm not really sure of a way that this could be of use and i'm sure most of you have seen this but it still makes me laugh. maybe you could put it somewhere in the money.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] Fitz [Body]

Output: i'm hoping for a huge dose of toussaint this year, he absolutely kills in NCAA 11 and 12 so that means he can do it for real right? Fitz has always been one i've been very excited to see what he can do with the chance


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] i can't recall who the OP was [Body]

Output: i can't recall who the OP was that is responsible for this, i just saw it pop up on here a few weeks ago and saved the link. hopefully someone can claim it and get their credit. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/SyWIae2ZOLxXjwxM0FFkDozBXRnq3xKyuvrh1lQBmfU?feat=directlink


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] go buy it [Body]

Output: i have played the show since 09 and like you purchased a PS3 specifically for the show. i never really got into the pitching much on the previous versions because i could never truely control where the pitches went, they would be close but consistancy is what frustrated me. the meter pitching is wonderful this year, you have much more control over up, down, left and right with the ball. as others have said, the point system is so much better also. you don't usually rack up 150 points in one game, mostly when hitting, like you could easily do in previous versions but you don't get a fail on certain challenges because of the dumbass computer baserunners, you still get points for good contact, timing and/or working the pitch count. as much as it's still the same game, the minor tweaks were a great improvment. and yes the commentating is terrible as a lot of people say but the have some funny lines every now and then.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] i always thought that with [Body]

Output: i always thought that with all the prep work tate did to become a top qb he may have been pretty close to his ceiling as a freshman while denard was so raw his ceiling was so far away. tate was as good as you could have expected as a true freshman but maybe there just wasn't that much room for improvement as far as his capabilities. i still wish the kid well though.


Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Title] i'll be getting on sometime [Body]

Output: i'll be getting on sometime later today and i'll send you guys some friend invites and go from there inviting you guys to a team.


Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Title] yes i'm talking about the [Body]

Output: yes i'm talking about the EASHL teams. just looking for some new guys to play with, i generally play center, what about you guys?


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Title] you could always rock one of [Body]

Output: you could always rock one of these


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] i think it would have to be [Body]

Output: i think it would have to be something along the lines of leaving your feet to launch at the other player would be a good determining factor. that plus leading with your head and aiming directly at the opposing player's face. if they went back to actually tackling instead of trying to make EPSN's highlight reel with a big hit, there would be a lot less ambiguity about the call. it would be harder to call it a hit on a defenseless player if you're wrapping your arms around for a tackle rather than just trying to blow the guy up.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] and i think a lot of this [Body]

Output: and i think a lot of this comes from something that drives me crazy as a football fan. basically once a player with the ball gets beyond the linebackers, tackling is no longer involved. how many times do you see DBs shoulder block a guy catching a ball near him, 90+%? if the guys actually wrapped their arms around and tackled i think just that in itself could take away some of the helmet to face you see so much of


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] time to start letting it go [Body]

Output: time to start letting it go man


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] Keep on the front page [Body]

Output: this needs to be kept on the front page somewhere, even if it's just the date somewhere to avoid the hundreds of threads between now and April asking if anyone knows when the game is.


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] i'm from NC and absolutely [Body]

Output: i'm from NC and absolutely can't stand duke and i know they'll lose a handfull of games this year but i seriously doubt this will be one of those


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] a lot like i tell my daughter [Body]

Output: a lot like i tell my daughter almost daily, don't get yourself in that position to where you can get caught up in something bad. either way it's a very unfortunate situation for all three to be in with their futures potentially changed forever.


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Title] For sports [Body]

Output: as far as sports go The Show is the best baseball game out there. i haven't played this years because i have last years and there really wasn't much new that mattered to me. NHL is always a solid choice as far as sports go as well. like someone said above, Red Dead Redemption can be found in game of the year edition for around $20 and you can waste away so many hours of your life on. this, just like the show, is more so a single player game IMO but NHL is a blast online but has some good offline features as well.


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] not going to lie [Body]

Output: i'm not going to lie and say that didn't bring a little tear to the eyes. it's great hearing about how these guys who are really still kids themselves putting in the time with kids who i'd imagine just want to forget where they are and why for just a little while. this was a great story about two great people, very nice


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] i ask because i honestly [Body]

Output: i ask because i honestly don't know any better but i looked at dead period and quiet period rules and i didn't see anything regarding statements from the university or anything like that as being a rules violation, only against contact beyond "hello" to recruits. what am i missing as far as any rules being broken?


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] i don't know... [Body]

Output: i don't know if i can go against ND. all season long i've pulled against them and hoped for them to lose, even as recently as last week when it was basically a 3-way tie at the top. BUT, now that it's this week and if ND loses it will in all likelihood be an all SEC NC game again, i'm more so pulling against that than a ND win. i dislike brian kelly and basically the whole ND team but as a college football fan i have gained a lot of respect for Manti Te'o as a football player and as a human this season, so in a way i rationalize it that way i guess.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] it's unbelieveable how much [Body]

Output: it's unbelieveable how much they believe it. i talked to a couple last night and one swears about how he knows someone that ran into someone that would know and he said it's a done deal, so it's gotta be the truth. the other tells me about how it was a done deal last week but when you ask why they haven't just come out and said it, this time it's because the MNF deal won't let them announce it until the last monday night game this season, which makes absolutely no sense to at all, but i'm a michigan fan so what do i know.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Kiffin == Herpes [Body]

Output: Kiffin is like a gift that keeps on giving, even when you don't want anymore


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] The fans hate Sunseri almost [Body]

Output: The fans hate Sunseri almost more than they hate Dooley but then again I know a lot of UT fans personally and they as a whole could possibly be one of the most irrational and delusional fanbases I've ever seen.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] very few. if you read some of [Body]

Output: very few. if you read some of the Tennessee boards, they all are certain he's coming and its just a matter of time. it's rather amusing reading come of their crap.


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Title] USA Today is doing their best [Body]

Output: USA Today is doing their best to make it happen. so far two SEC teams have passed USC in two weeks even though they haven't lost. same thing happened last year when bama and lsu passed oklahoma while all three teams were undefeated.


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Title] i'm not so certain i would [Body]

Output: i'm not so certain i would "vote" for the voiding of a LOI in the event of a coaching change. you hear all the time that players should commit to the school and not the coach, even though you can't blame an 18 yr old kid for getting attached to people that schmooze him and tell him everything he wants to hear for commiting to the coach rather than the school. i think if nothing else any school that's being investigated by the NCAA and there is even a slight possibility there may be a head coaching change coming because of said investigations, it might keep some players available to other schools by knowing that if they sign the LOI and the coach that offered and promised them more than other schools gets canned they're stuck there and won't be so fast to pull the trigger


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Title] I think one other thing that [Body]

Output: I think one other thing that makes a difference is how ESPN likes to tell everyone over and over that the SEC is the best and toughest conference. If you're an 18 yr old kid and you know that you're going to be seen by more people around the country by playing in the SEC because ESPN is going to show the majority of their games and you'll get even more face time on Sportscenter then why wouldn't you want to go there if exposure is one of the big things you're looking for. This I think helps funnel the players to the SEC more so than the other conferences as a whole, perception becomes reality.


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

Output: Yes Congratulations Tom and Ms. VH since she did most of the work up to this point. If only baby VH could have held out until tomorrow he would have the same bday as me.


Input: [Date] 3 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Merry Christmas to all you [Body]

Output: Merry Christmas to all you guys and girls that make this site great. May you enjoy every moment of it with friends and family!


Input: [Date] 3 years 33 weeks ago [Title] that stadium is literally [Body]

Output: that stadium is literally less than 10 miles from my house and the field always looks that way. during the summer they use it as a race track and they have demolition derbys and all kinds of what not there that destroys the field. but you're right, you'd think they could do a little more to make the field at least playable on.


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Title] bad thing is it probably will [Body]

Output: bad thing is it probably will happen with how much espn and all the other press and media love them some SEC. i was pissed when alabama and lsu jumped oklahoma despite the sooners not losing or even having close games as far as i recall


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] i'll take the blame for this [Body]

Output: i'll take the blame for this one too, i gave up the traditional #1 jersey for a new M hoodie. it was so soft and comforting i couldn't not wear it. the question i have about that is should i have washed it first before wearing the first time, could that have made the difference. it will definately be washed before next saturday and IF i choose to wear it again an M loses, then anyone want a free hoodie?


Input: [Date] 3 years 40 weeks ago [Title] i'm not really sure of a way [Body]

Output: i'm not really sure of a way that this could be of use and i'm sure most of you have seen this but it still makes me laugh. maybe you could put it somewhere in the money.

Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] go buy it [Body]

Output: i have played the show since 09 and like you purchased a PS3 specifically for the show. i never really got into the pitching much on the previous versions because i could never truely control where the pitches went, they would be close but consistancy is what frustrated me. the meter pitching is wonderful this year, you have much more control over up, down, left and right with the ball. as others have said, the point system is so much better also. you don't usually rack up 150 points in one game, mostly when hitting, like you could easily do in previous versions but you don't get a fail on certain challenges because of the dumbass computer baserunners, you still get points for good contact, timing and/or working the pitch count. as much as it's still the same game, the minor tweaks were a great improvment. and yes the commentating is terrible as a lot of people say but the have some funny lines every now and then.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] i always thought that with [Body]

Output: i always thought that with all the prep work tate did to become a top qb he may have been pretty close to his ceiling as a freshman while denard was so raw his ceiling was so far away. tate was as good as you could have expected as a true freshman but maybe there just wasn't that much room for improvement as far as his capabilities. i still wish the kid well though.


Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Title] i'll be getting on sometime [Body]

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Body] He hired Bob Diaco who's had one year with a tire fire of a roster. He tried to hire Narduzzi before that so he clearly is at least paying attention to up and coming coaches. [Title]

Output: He hired Bob Diaco who's had


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Body] The statistics show the balls were within a range at halftime that would indicate they were within a legal range at the beginning of the game. Unless you think the Patriots had a devious plan to overinflate the balls, get them tested, then deflate them to a lower, yet still legal, level, then it doesn't really make any sense. [Title]

Output: The statistics show the balls


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] You figure worst case on these kids is that they have the desire and drive but not quite the talent so they end up being productive depth players and starters by the end of their careers while also creating relationships and building pipelines into talent-rich places that Michigan hasn't really recruited that heavily in the past. [Title]

Output: You figure worst case on


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Body] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOmGMGUDPbk I don't think it's a bad call but it's definitely not as obvious as it would be now. Allow me to submit this 2006-2008 NFL best hits video as evidence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twO-Uxfa9-k [Title]

Input: [Date] 19 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Having an experienced back up is very nice for you and I. Spending another year putting in all the work and time required to be an experienced back up is a totally different thing. [Title]

Output: As long as the hackers stick


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Bellomy hasn't shown much but neither have any of the other QBs on the roster. Assuming that neither of the true freshmen win the starting job, you'd probably want them to redshirt which would leave Speight as the only other option. Losing one of a not that large or experienced group of unproven players doesn't seem like a good trade off for that scholarship, especially this late in the recruiting period. [Title]

Output: Bellomy hasn't shown much but


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 3 days ago [Body] This happened TO the players so they can actually investigate it. [Title]

Output: This happened TO the players


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 5 hours ago [Body] Mudblood is the bad word but only because it means that they have dirtied their blood by mixing it with muggle blood. They obviously couldn't insult a wizard by calling them a muggle since they clearly have powers so they have to use a word that associates them with muggles. If you look at the word from a positive/Harry point of view, the word doesn't carry any negative connotaions, it's just used to refer to non-magical people. However, from a Voldemort point of view, muggle does carry a negative connotaion. Muggles (and to a certain extent squibs) are so far beneth the wizarding community that they aren't even worth mentioning and are best either killed off or enslaved by the purebloods. Without knowing which side a person is on, the term could be used derisively to show that the non-athletic population doesn't have merit or it could just be used simply as a way to show how different groups have differing opinions on the issue. [Title]

Output: Mudblood is the bad word but

Output: It's not hating on New Haven so much as saying why


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Liquor store close at 9 pm now. I've never seen someone get denied at a respectable establishment for having an out of state ID. Someone said it above but I also agree that you shouldn't go to New Haven, it's closer to 40 mins away and you can either head to West Hartford Center or you can stay in Hartford on Allyn and Ann St near the XL Center. Also, remember to read up on the greats from UConn teams past http://www.uconnhuskies.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/uconn-in-cfl.html. [Title]

Output: Liquor store close at 9 pm


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Well said, I think a younger, less experienced team like the one this year is going to be more prone to getting up for big games and having the proverbial hangover for, what should be, cupcakes. Games like this even show that you have to show up every week and wins aren't just handed out and it should be a good lesson learned heading forward. [Title]

Output: Well said, I think a younger,

Output: Is it wrong to hope for another


Input: [Date] 3 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Michigan/MSU is not a high priority to CBS since they mostly televise SEC games. If the punch play was the first/only thing I saw, I would agree that Lewan was the aggressor. When more film is shown, the overall context is further understood. At least he was man enough to publicly admit he made a mistake and apologize for it. Hopefully he will learn to get all the facts in the future prior to posting comments. If Michigan football is important to you, than I don't think CBSSports would be a good place to be employed. [Title]

Output: Entire scenario seems logical


Input: [Date] 3 years 40 weeks ago [Body] He seems too big of a risk to be a distraction to a team. All I can think about is the guy who steals someone's girlfriend, and then is surprised and upset when she leaves him for someone else in the future. I don't want to be that guy. [Title]

Output: Agree completely


Input: [Date] 3 years 42 weeks ago [Body] Michigan will not be able to win all the remaining games on their schedule with 3 turnovers per game. I will go with 10-2, 11-1 is possible if the turnovers are eliminated. Either scenario could lead to an additional loss to Wisconsin in the Championship game. Wisconsin just looks so much better than everyone else in the B1G. Edit: Before the season, I thought 9-3. Was hoping for a split in the ND & MSU games, did not think Illinois would be a problem, and thought Nebraska & Ohio would be much better than they appear right now. [Title]

Output: Depends on how many turnovers a game the offense has


Input: [Date] 3 years 42 weeks ago [Body] During the summer, I thought the Wildcat could be amazing with DG & DR. The Diamond went way beyond my imagination. However, after much consideration, I just do not want to see it used very often. Please save it for the end of the season. Maybe run it once or twice a game to keep upcoming opponents nervous. My big fear is that by having both QB's out there at the same time, you increase the opportunity for one of them to get injured. [Title]

Output: I love all the possibilities with this formation


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] and kind of scary. Exciting to be 4 - 0, and have realistic opportunities to win the next 6 games. However, it is scary to think that Michigan could end up with an outstanding record this season, and set up expectations which might be too high for next year. Next year's schedule is brutal. Could be very probable to have a better team next year with a worse record due to the difference in schedules. [Title]

Output: The favorable schedule is kind of exciting


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] but some of this has to be attributed to the constant blitzing, and pressuring of the QB. Opposing QB's are not getting to stand around all day while waiting on a 3 man rush. Therefore, the DB's don't have to cover as long. This helps reduce exposure to double moves and long crossing routes. [Title]

Output: I do agree that the secondary is playing tighter in coverage,

Output: I distinctly remember Corso putting on


Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Body] in Bowl Games. Outside of that, every OSU loss is a good loss. Not only because I can't stand them, but because Brady is making such a huge recruiting push in Ohio. Until Michigan can consistently beat MSU every year again, MSU losses are good as well for recruiting purposes. [Title]

Output: Generally, I root for Big 10 teams vs. Non-Conference


Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Clemson and Illinois both deserve to be ranked ahead of us. Georgia Tech is a toss up, only because of success the last couple years. [Title]

Output: Michigan will be in the top 25 when the polls come out.


Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Also, I believe Virginia and Virginial Tech. are a package deal....kind of like Oklahoma and Oklahoma St. [Title]

Output: Only if Florida and South Carolina will give consent.


Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Body] after # 5 or 6, I could drink malt liquor and be happy (at least for a little while). I try to base my opinions on #'s 1 through 3. Of course I just finished # 7 of various types from 5.1% - 8%, so maybe I will think differently tomorrow. Oops, it is tomorrow. Maybe I think differently already. Shocktop Raspberry Wheat is now my new favorite! I do highly recommend the Sunset Wheat. However, it does kind of taste "Fruity"...sort of like a blueberry.

Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Almost everything you listed is completely "Greek to me." Must just be that those are not readily available in NC. I did have the Summer Shandy, and everyone I spoke to in Michigan absolutely loved it. However, it was definitely not my favorite. I much preferred the coriander affect in the Sunset Wheat. Never had anything with that flavor before. I do tend to prefer the wheats. [Title]

Output: Have to admit


Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Body] With the jumpstart in verbal commits Hoke & Co. have on 2013, I have definitely been curious about the other offers. Can't wait for the rest of the intial rankings to come out. Saw commentaries on ESPN Recruiting today about a potential early signing period. I think this could be extremely beneficial to U of M recruiting to sign future kids early, and not have to worry about verbal commitments changing at a later point in time. [Title]

Output: Great to have this list

Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Body] with your mother-in-law. 99% of the population would be upset with the thought of it. The remaining 1% who might actually go through with the idea (after enough alcohol), would wake up in the morning asking theirselves "What in the Hell is wrong with me?" . [Title]

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

Output: Brian, good for you. The quality of writing from the staff here is usually top-notch, and it was a shame to see it get crapped on by idiots on a regular basis. There seem to be only a few commenters here that actually offer useful insights; the rest is just an echo chamber of complaining, flaming, and animated GIFs. I would love to see an up-vote system where only the editors can vote... I'd like to see a curated collection of useful comments instead of having to wade through and endless stream of garbage. From someone who is mostly a lurker and just an occasional commenter, thanks for all that you and your staff do, and keep up the good work.


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] It's lack of experience, not lack of talent [Body]

Output: These are just kids, everyone. They're going to make mistakes. From what I saw, most of the problems were missed assignments: failure to identify the correct person to block. I think that is understandable from a young offensive line, and it is correctable with coaching and repetitions. For the guards and the center, it's a split-second decision of figuring when to chip, when to double, and when to release to the next level. If they make the wrong decision or make it too late, then they're lost. You fix this by giving them hundreds of repetitions until it's second-nature and they don't have to think about it... you can't expect them to reason it out in their head in a game situation as the play unfolds. Obviously we're all disappointed in the performance of the line, but suggesting that we put in an even less experienced player doesn't make a lot of sense to me. The problem is not with their physical skills.


Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Title] Silver lining? [Body]

Output: Well... at least it's an opportunity to develop the younger guys. Better that this happens for CMU than ND.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Hint hint [Body]

Output: My favorite thing about the MGoQuestions is how they not-so-subtly articulate our collective MGoOpinions, like HEY YOU SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR THAT RUNNING BACK SHIFT and HEY THEY BROKE TENDENCIES LAST YEAR SO WATCH OUT FOR THAT TOO. It's a refreshing change from the usual MSM fluff. Al Borges seems to have gotten wise to this ploy, though.


Input: [Date] 2 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Nomenclature; Offense Line Issues [Body]

Output: I've always known a "bear" front to mean that the center and both guards are covered by linemen, so your usage will confuse me for a while. Then again, "okie" had always meant something else to me too but I've come to accept your version of it. So yeah, use whatever terminology works for you. I'm getting greatly concerned about the interior OL. We need Coach Funk to get whatever magic dust Mattison is sprinkling on the DL.


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

Output: I really think Al Borges is starting to love Heiko and the MGoQuestions. I think he recognizes that there's a level of depth behind the questions that the other reporters just don't give. No fluff, just a sincere interest in scheme and playcalling. There's gotta be a part of that that tickles him.


Input: [Date] 2 years 51 weeks ago [Title] Roll your own in the long run; Twitter for now [Body]

Output: The idea of creating your own system is feasible... perhaps starting from an existing open source project, or enlisting MGoProgrammers to help with the effort. The advantages of this are: you would never be subject to cost increases; you could make it look and act exactly how you wanted; and, you could tie it into existing MGoBlog user identities. The downsides: you probably wouldn't get this up and running in time for the 2012 fall season; you will probably have problems with server capacity with nine thousand simultaneous AJAX-connected users; and you'd have to deal with all the issues of security and robustness that CIL has already got covered. So with all that being said, perhaps Twitter is the easiest way to go for now. And yes, we'll probably all have to create separate Twitter identities specifically for this purpose. I do see a potential business opportunity for anyone who wants to create a CIL clone that costs less than they do...


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Trying to agree with you here [Body]

Output: @Bellanca, re: "I don't understand the comment, below, i.e., that the differences between cover-2 and cover-4 comprise distinctions without a difference..." If that's my comment you're referring to, read it again: I said that for casual fans, the differences are minor. I'm not trying to disagree with you. I'm only trying to explain to some of the other readers here that (a) they probably are misinterpreting your use of "quarters" as "four deep zones", and (b) that it is easy to mistake quarters coverage for cover-2 man if you're not paying attention to shading and how the safeties are reacting to routes. In quarters, if the DBs make a "clue" check on one side and an "alert" check on the other, to most casual observers and fans it will look exactly like cover-2 man. I am quite sure that Al Borges and Greg Mattison are fully aware of what defense Iowa runs, and that's really all that's important.


Input: [Date] 3 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Not much difference [Body]

Output: Just to clarify and hopefully make some peace here: what is described by modern DC's as "quarters" is not a four-deep zone coverage (which is kind of an old-school definition of the term), but rather something quite similar to a cover-2 in most situations. The difference with quarters is that (a) there are specific pre-snap reads that the corners and safeties make, often causing them to change their responsibilities, and (b) the corners rarely will chase receivers inside, instead staying with the widest receiver. It's quite possible that Iowa does run quarters but it's hard to tell with most TV camera angles. And anyway, the difference for most casual fans is small enough that whether you call it "quarters" or "a cover-2 variant" is not really going to matter.


Input: [Date] 3 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Footwork [Body]

Output: When Al and Denard talk about bad footwork, it's not just about throwing off the wrong foot. A pro quarterback in this situation (facing a free rusher charging up the middle) moves laterally in the pocket to buy an extra second for the receiver to come free, and also to get a clear view of the passing lane. The chuck-it-up reaction from Denard is basically panic. If Denard scrambles a bit first, the safeties are the ones who have to panic and come up in run-support; if that had happened, Koger would have been hand-wavingly open at the back of the end zone. Fortunately this is something that is correctable with time and practice; it's not a systemic problem and it's not beyond Denard's abilities.


Input: [Date] 3 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Strange coverage scheme or Herron out of position? [Body]

Output: Does anyone have an explanation for the defensive alignment where Herron is sprinting out from an interior linebacker position to cover the split end on the opposite side of the field? I think I saw this at least three times, with each result being an easy completion for Carder.


Input: [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Numbering convention [Body]

Output: It's based on the numbering scheme given to defensive line positions. You could look at the UFR FAQ, but you may find a better diagram here: http://www.dawgsbynature.com/2011/4/11/2082375/draft-terminology-the-thr... Numbering schemes vary by coach and team, but the term "five-technique" generally refers to the position outside the offensive tackle's shoulder (not head-up on the tackle), particularly in a 4-3 alignment.


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

Output: Any word on his academic standing? I would hate to see this hit our APR.


Input: [Date] 3 years 49 weeks ago [Title] Reminds me of something... [Body]

Output: Here in Raleigh, the Carolina Hurricanes have a similarly dreadful arena-rock theme song. The chorus is "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, let's go, C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, let's go, C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, let's go Canes." The first line of the first verse is "Carolina has a fun hockey team". I cringe and apologize every time I bring my Red Wings friends into the arena and that songs starts to play. If Michigan ever adopts anything like this, I really will want to die.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 days ago [Title] HIT? [Body]

Output: "Reps to failure"? Does that mean High Intensity Training is back? Did we hire back Gittleson too?


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] When was the last time the fanbase was united? [Body]

Output: I sure remember a lot of grumpy FIRE LLOYD CARR people and the "sackcarr.com" web site a few years ago. Even Bo had his critics as he neared the twilight of his career. The fact is, as long as Michigan loses more than zero games per season, there will always be angry alumni and fans who complain the current coach isn't good enough. Those will be the guys who make the most noise and start campaigns to get the coach fired. It's up to the athletic director to tune the loudmouths out... and perhaps not change coaches every three years. I am irked that David Brandon is saying "be happy with whatever I decide". There will always be critics of his decision, and he needs to be able to answer that criticism.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Parting Gift? [Body]

Output: I wonder if we could send him some sort of medal or trophy, or at least a note... you know, as a gesture for putting up with all the crap he's had to deal with. It would be nice for him to know that a lot of us did appreciate him and what he did during his time at Michigan. I doubt he'll read MGoBlog and see this post.


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Doing It Wrong [Body]

Output: The only way this defense works is if somebody beats a block against an offensive lineman who weighs 40 pounds more than him. Letting an offensive guard plow one-on-one into Mouton just plays into Wisconsin's strengths. If we're trying to use our speed to our advantage, then I'd rather see the defensive ends pack in tighter, and rely on our linebackers to flow over the top to contain the stretch plays. That's actually doable in the context of a 3-3-5; we're just not calling it. As Brian says, this is not a stack. We're doing it wrong.


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Power I [Body]

Output: I believe what you called "Full House" is normally called "Power I".


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Patterson? [Body]

Output: I looked at this play extensively (http://realkato.com/blog.php?pid=1728). Who is the DL to the left of Martin? Is that Patterson? Whoever he is, I think some of the blame is on him. He lines up directly over the right tackle and that tells me he's got two-gap responsibility on that side (the B and C gaps). If that's the case, it seems like he shouldn't be turned to the side, moving down the LOS towards the playside, because that completely negates his chances of covering the B gap and closing down that cutback lane himself. Note that Baker passes within a couple feet of him, while his back is turned. That can't be right. I agree that Ezeh is not to blame here; I'm pretty sure he's supposed to go over the top and defend the bounce-out. Also note that the TE was covered on the play, so this was an obvious running formation. We thought that was weird a season or two ago when Michigan did that, but this play shows some of the personnel advantages this formation can give you.


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Got burned trying cover-3 too [Body]

Output: We got burned trying to play cover-3 against this formation too, for a touchdown. When you drop three deep, you don't have enough defenders to cover the in route and the out route from the bunch, as well as the slant route from the far side and potentially the tailback coming out of the backfield. My guess is that if Indiana reads cover-3, they send the tailback out instead of keeping him in to block. Here's my mini-picture-page version of this: http://www.realkato.com/blog.php?pid=1722 It's a play specifically designed to beat zone defenses. So you can respond by playing man-to-man and hope that your young corners can keep up with Indiana's veteran experienced WRs, or you can have your young safety jump routes and hope that he doesn't mess up and get beaten over the top. I think GERG's decision was: better to get beat underneath than to get beat long... bend, don't break. I don't necessarily agree with this approach, though, and as the season goes on, we're going to have to trust our secondary to make some plays.

Output: So... any chance RR tries to lure Ron English back?


Input: [Date] 6 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Unbalanced formation [Body]

Output: I'd like to hear some speculation on that weird unbalanced formation. I can think of two reasons for that lineup: one, to try to catch the secondary out of position and spring some blocks downfield; or two, to have Mathews sweep around and get the ball on a reverse. It can't be a tackle-eligible play since the left tackle is ineligible by number. Thoughts?

Output: Given the way Stabler lived his life its amazing he lasted this long. I wonder if Kenny's switch-hitting made it into his book.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] kinda sorta [Body]

Output: Well, the flexbone is *kinda* like the wishbone. Its really a cross between the wishbone & run-n-shoot. These days the R&S portion of the attack isn't run so much. But when the scheme was first used at Hawaii 25 years ago the shoot was a significant factor. There are other differences as well. In the typical wishbone the fullback lines up much closer to the QB than the B back does in the flex. As a result the physical profile of a B back often looks much different than the traditional bone fullback.

Output: Schools are decent in Berkley.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I can see that [Body]

Output: East of Woodward a couple blocks south of 9 used to have a pretty high WT quotient. There used to be a decent sweet spot that started maybe 3 blocks south of 9 and went to a little south of 8 1/2. Never got too familiar with the west side just south of 9. Really use to love the neighborhoods northwest of 9 & Woodward.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] what neighborhood? [Body]

Threw up right in the middle of the crowd just moments after getting daquiri ice. Absolutely cleared the place out within 90 seconds. Dad consoled me in the car afterwards by explaining how the owner had just a dozen weekends to make enough money for the rest of the year.

No. I develop my own techniques and knowledge based on the multitude of others I have worked with and trained under. I'm sure Coach Tolbert did the same. I'd trust Coach Harbaugh to know what's best for the program. [Title]

Input: [Date] 39 weeks 5 days ago [Body] When I see the OL from Wisonsin, Nebraska, etc I see men out there. Our OL still looks like a bunch of fat high school kids. Yes I have seen pictures of Green shirtless and such but great physique does not always equal football strength. I see our front seven getting pushed around and I think this comes from poor technique and lack of overall strength. It starts in the winter and summer programs and I hope one area that is changed is the weight room. [Title]

Conversation at dinner devolved into who would win in the octagon: a chicken or a duck? Had some fictional sweet action going with most favoring the chicken. [Title]

Output: If that is #5....


Input: [Date] 1 year 7 weeks ago [Body] I too encourage people to register. I did so early last year when a friend's teenage daughter was diagnosed with a very aggressive leukemia. A selfless person became a match for her and she underwent a bone marrow transplant early last summer. At one point, she was hooked up to a device (ECMO) to keep her alive and given a less then 10% chance to survive. This past weekend, her family celebrated her high school graduation and she will on her way to college in the fall. Without the bone marrow transplant, it would have been a sadly different story. Its very easy to do. Just a cheek swab and mail it back in. Another website is bethematch.org. [Title]

Output: good cause


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 14 hours ago [Body] As a counter to this point, if OP has only seen the 909 and LA, you should at least check out OC before you decide where to live. I lived in Hermosa and loved it but after moving to Newport, I couldn't imagine going back. It's a totally different world, you'll know you've hit OC when traffic eases up, the streets aren't filled with potholes, there aren't old mattresses on the side of the road, and graffiti doesn't cover every sign, overpass, and stray dog. It has some of the safest cities in the country and because there's money and businesses here, the county isn't strapped for cash so we have public services that keep it clean, safe, and usable schools (applicable if you have kids some day). It may not be for everybody (it's not the most diverse) but if you are coming from living in the midwest, it may be a place you feel very comfortable living. There are beautiful areas of LA County - like the South Bay - but you are still brought down by the rest of the county. Also, be prepared to spend most of your life avoiding jury duty and watching out for the county's fundraising team hiding behind signs with radar guns and giving out jaywalking tickets. [Title]

Input: [Date] 12 weeks 16 hours ago [Body] You've got the right idea with Pasadena, I think that's easily the most A2 similar place in the LA area. As someone who works in Corona (possibly worse than Chino) and briefly tried living near the office, I know your pain. The good thing is that you are one of the few people to work in the Chino/Corona area so for commuting you have flexibility because you won't have traffic. Fullerton isn't a bad option, not as nice as Pasadena but probably quite a bit cheaper. You could take the 91 west or 57 North and not have traffic. I live in Orange - which also has a college, Chapman, and a nice little downtown called Orange Circle. Not as young as Fullerton but probably cleaner/safer/nicer, at least around the Circle. Has your wife looked at companies in Irvine - I don't know about bio/science jobs - but it seems more likely a company would set up there than LA? If she was there, it opens up the Beach towns, you could get from Newport or Costa Mesa to Chino in 30-40 mins. If you're not a big city person, and are looking for an A2 type experience, I think you'd be much better off with Pasadena than DTLA or the Hollywood area. It's a weekend and you are living in Chino, so you might as well get out of there and explore. [Title]

Output: You've got the right idea


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] The Michigan connection here is Kurtis Townsend. He was an assistant that Ellerbe brought in and he was responsible for some of the shadiest of Michigan recruits (Avery Queen and I believe Ingerson come to mind, probably Gaines). When I noticed him on the Kansas bench last year, it made me think that they must not be a clean program. This post helps clear that up. [Title]

Output: Townsend


Input: [Date] 4 years 32 weeks ago [Body] Having worked in sports, I wouldn't worry about getting your degree in Sports Management. The more important thing is that you start volunteering/working in the athletic dept at whatever school you go to (bigger schools are more impressive) and/or for a local pro team. Nobody is going to care what your degree was in but they will be interested in your experience. If you went to Michigan I would actually recommend doing LS&A and taking some marketing classes from the B-School and for fun do a couple Sports Marketing classes in Kines too. The advantage of this approach is you get a broader education that will serve you better if you change career paths and you get real world experience in sports that will better prepare you for it and allow you to start making contacts (ex. the marketing intern at a Michigan will become the Director of Marketing at a MAC school and if you worked with him as a volunteer he may hire you as a marketing assistant at the MAC school when you graduate).

Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Body] Agreed - I'm a Colts fan and always enjoy his writing. He is very level-headed and doesn't tend to be overly effusive in his praise, so these comments mean more coming from him than most. [Title]

Output: Agreed - I'm a Colts fan and


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Body] How is the U-M crowd at Sangria? Is it a good setup? I don't remember them having a lot of TVs when I've gone out there before at night. Do they set them up in the dance floor area or are they just around the bar? I'm considering heading up there for the MSU game. I live in Newport Beach and have no interest in going inland to Tustin for the official Alumni Club event. The bar I normally go to in Newport, Rudy's, is technically a Michigan State bar, so that could be a good week to check out Hermosa. [Title]

Output: How is the U-M crowd at


Input: [Date] 5 years 9 weeks ago [Body] Your annual law school loan payment would be more than a compliance job would pay - be prepared to make $30-40k/year. Also, if you couldn't tell by Labadie's responses - all 25 sports and every department - marketing, development, etc - sees you as a hassle and will avoid your voicemails and emails at all costs. It is very fulfilling work. [Title]

Output: Your annual law school loan


Input: [Date] 5 years 20 weeks ago [Body] He's got Dwight Freeney's uniform # and build - he just needs to develop that inside spin move that Freeney uses because I'm pretty sure he won't be able to throw the tackle to the ground in college. Looks like a good one though - hope he has a good visit. [Title]

Output: He's got Dwight Freeney's


Input: [Date] 5 years 23 weeks ago [Body] Those are good - I'll play around with it and see what I come up with. I also now know what meshuganah means, which is good. [Title]

Output: Those are good - I'll play


Input: [Date] 5 years 23 weeks ago [Body] Would be good if I was German. I saw a Dodge Caravan the other day that someone put one of those D stickers on and then a BMW logo badge over the Chryler one. I don't want to be that German. [Title]

Output: Would be good if I was


Input: [Date] 5 years 23 weeks ago [Body] Good thought and it could be available. I think I'm too old Michigan though to embrace All In enough to put it on my license plate just yet. Under consideration though. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 23 weeks ago [Body] Some good ideas there - I'll check on BLOCKM for sure and will think about an A2 one and the other campus references. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 23 weeks ago [Body] That's solid. The HL adds some mystery and makes it seem less like you are driving some guy named Victor's car [Title]

Output: That's solid. The HL adds


Input: [Date] 5 years 23 weeks ago [Body] I like it - that's clever. My only issue would be the car I'm looking at cost $100k new (depreciation is my friend - its about 1/3 that now) and being a young guy driving it, I'd probably look even more like a spoiled, yuppy douche. In a neighboring state of Michigan it would probably be easier to do, because more people would get the Blue meaning Michigan reference. Here they would just associate it with the expensive car. [Title]

Output: I like it - that's clever.


Input: [Date] 5 years 23 weeks ago [Body] That could work - I would have trouble deciding on the year though. The '01 is probably more significant to me but '09 paid for the car. Maybe UM 01 09 with the space between 01 and 09 being more of a half space. [Title]

Output: That could work - I would
