Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Grammar/Spelling Nazi is Torn [Body]

Output: Dealer Camel, you are unfortunately too educated and have spelled Pharaoh correctly. (Upvoted you accordingly.) However, the horse's name is American Pharoah as in the OP. It was accidentally misspelled when registered and now must remain as is. Will refrain from suggesting this contributes further to the dumbing down of America. Either way, sure is a damn fine beautiful horse!

Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Checked for updates on her condition this morning [Body]

Output: From the Boston Globe: The woman, who was not identified, was taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, said Boston police Officer Rachel McGuire, a department spokeswoman. There was no word on her condition late Friday night. At 7:45 a.m. Saturday, Beth Israel spokeswoman Jennifer Kritz said the hospital is not providing any information regarding the condition of the woman at this time. Don't want to speculate, but it seems if she was doing better they'd say so.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Gardner switched to WR because everybody said he should [Body]

Output: and he thought it would give him a better chance to play. He'd switched for the good of the team at Michigan (and yes, to get actual playing time), and then switched back to the position he'd trained for. He worked out as a WR, showed he was willing to switch and work at getting better, then P'burgh says, "Hey, let's see what you can do at QB." Apparently they think enough of him and what they've seen so far to give him a shot. And he's probably thrilled for the chance.

He doesn’t have any varsity coaching experience but founded and has coached one of the most successful club basketball programs in the country, Meanstreets.

Input: [Date] 9 weeks 3 hours ago [Title] My dad too in WWI, but in the Philippines [Body]

Output: He was a refugee from Nazi Germany, got out just in time right out of medical school, getting a Master's at Michigan-- which saved his life in more than one way (long story). When the U.S. entered the war, he and his older brother, an engineer, immediately volunteered to serve, Dad in the Philippines as a medical officer and his brother in Europe (in the OSS). They both survived, but we can only imagine what they saw and experienced along the way and how many of their fellows never returned. Our world today is dealing with the same kind of insanity that would not have ended without the men of WWII, and few of us today would have the courage and dedication to willingly put our lives on the line to fight this new version of global insanity. So, OP, thanks to you and for reminding us that it's a good day to remember.

What happened to the guy on 2nd? Didn't say double play... Only reported two outs, but the inning was over. Something like that happened yesterday too, a couple times.

Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] I think you are missing what "Little Brother" really means. They are not little brother because of their record. It is because no matter what: win, lose, or draw they are always measuring their success next to the Maize and Blue. This is a fact which they want to deny to the end of their days, so let me give a sample size. After their loss to Ohio they found it necesary to say things like "at least we aren't Michigan" or "I am a better QB than Denard." Classic little bro move. Measure your success/loss always in the shadow of your big brother. That being said I have refrained from calling them little bro until we beat them- not that it changes the fact...They are always little brother. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Body] The 3 years of Rich Rod were abysmal but can you imagine how much worse they would have been without Denard? So much fun to watch and single handedly kept Michigan relevant by his individual performance. I love Denard- a true Michigan man who is leaving some big shoes to fill. Not worried about when he leaves, just going to miss him a lot. [Title]

Output: The 3 years of Rich Rod were

All he has is heart and intensity- Not to mention he led our team in scoring and rebounding today. If he was anymore intense he would turn green and be called a The Hulk [Title]

Output: Are you insane?


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Body] I love that- definitely voted for Terelle Pryor and googled his name to make sure I spelled it right. I was shocked that even google had it wrong. The proper spelling is derived from a latin sub category which sounds like Bitch- o' wait it is bitch. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Body] I really think this kid could be a great fit for us- Not just because he is a great talent, but he is really well spoken and seems to now what's important. Also I can only imagine that Hoke is pointing to all the good things Koger did in our offense this year. Who is Koger's potential replacement this coming year? [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 36 weeks ago [Body] Lets remember he retired from Florida for "health reasons" (amongst other things)... Why would he take on a program which is in shambles and under the NCAA and everyone's microscope? The only thing worse for his health would be taking over at Penn State- I think he is staying in retirement. [Title]

Output: going to tOSU would result in a heart attack

Input: [Date] 9 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I has season tickets from my time as a student in 1988 through 2013 (unfortunately, started and ended on a dramatic 1 point loss- Hurricanes and Buckeyes..but many great games in between.). Prior to Brandon getting canned, didn't regret the decision at all. But an amazing amount of good happened all of a sudden and I am damn glad I was able to get back in. [Title]

Output: It's a decent course.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 3 days ago [Body] There are so many big games that one play would make a huge difference. The 73 tie with OSU, the phantom TD in the Rose Bowl, the Miami Hurricanes onside kick in 88, Colorados Hail Mary, Texas's FG in the Rose Bowl, our onside kick in 2006 against OSU, heck, even the non lateral to Breaston on our crazy last second play against Nebraska in the Alamo Bowl. Then you have so many big hockey games were a goal versus a post would be huge. In basketball, Weber coming down and passing to Rose to nail a 3......maybe a late play in the M 2013 national title game. But my number 1 would be Bo's last game. Take back the holding flag on the fake punt and M likely wins that game to finish 11-1 with a potential share of the National Title. It would have been an awesome end to an awesome career. [Title]

Output: Great question


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Tickets weren't too bad. I bought 13th row lower bowl mid ice for $45 last night from the box office. Upper bowl was $20. For a championship game, that seems reasonable. Premium games at Yost are $30 I think. [Title]

Input: [Date] 30 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I would say winning the Sugar Bowl in Hoke's first season and beating OSU in 2003 to capture the B1G Title were some pretty great days. Even beating Indiana in 2006 to go to 11-0 going into the OSU game was a great day. [Title]

Input: [Date] 31 weeks 19 hours ago [Body] They have been so bad lately that I would love to see improvement there. We must have the longest streak in college football without returns for touchdowns (Stonum kick return in 2009 against ND and Odoms punt return in 2008 I think are the most recent.). [Title]

Input: [Date] 37 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Stoops also had Oklahoma in the National Title game after the 2003, 2004 and 2008 seasons. He lost 21-14 to Saban's LSU squad, 55-19 to Carroll's USC team, and 24-14 to Meyer's Florida team. I would say making the National Title game 4 times is pretty impressive. But even if not, its definitely, out of the ordinary. That may be the most any team made it in the BCS era. [Title]

Output: You might want to check some facts

Output: I didn't either


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 4 days ago [Body] People all thought it was great when Hoke said his goal in college was to try to drink every beer in Podunk Indiana when he was in college. And when he preached toughness. Why does Michigan always want to win on physical play? Being a strong academic school, shouldnt we try to win with smarts over physicality? Bring back Fritz Crisler's Mad Magicians! [Title]

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Title] While I disagree with you [Body]

Output: While I disagree with you about the potential payoff for lacrosse versus soccer (even this game ended with 15 total goals scored), I do agree this was a boring game. It was bound to happen when two of the slowest pace of play teams in the NCAA played each other on one day of rest. Hopefully more people tuned into the semifinals on Saturday. Both were incredible games with great finishes.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Title] They didn't say that's where [Body]

Output: They didn't say that's where it NEEDS to happen. They said that's where it is GOING TO happen. We'd all love to see the big football schools add men's lacrosse. That won't happen very frequently for a lot of reasons. In the past 36 years it's happened exactly twice, at Notre Dame and Michigan. Meanwhile a couple of dozen or more smaller D1 schools without football have added men's lacrosse. That will continue to be the trend. Women's lacrosse will continue to be added at big football schools with regularity. Great Title 9 add.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Title] How many roster spots does a [Body]

Output: How many roster spots does a men's rowing team have? I just glanced at the Wisconsin roster, and it's huge. You would probably have to add two or maybe even three women's sports to offset those numbers. Can't see that happening.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] Great write up L'Carp. It [Body]

Output: Great write up L'Carp. It was a really good weekend for the Big Ten. From a conference that struggled a bit through the season and wasn't expected to get more than one bid to having three bids and all three advance to the final 8. Shows the level that Michigan still has to get to, which obviously won't happen overnight. For me Albany is the team to watch. They play the game the way it's meant to played...fast. It's very entertaining. Reminiscent of lacrosse in the 80s and 90s. I would love to see them beat ND and get to the final four. Tall order though. ND is probably the most balanced team in the tournament. Hopkins turned a corner when they played Michigan. Earlier in the season they were losing close games to ranked teams, mostly because their goalies couldn't save a beach ball. Their senior starter played really well against Michigan, and since then you could argue they are playing the best lacrosse of anyone in the tournament.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Title] But is Michigan strong enough [Body]

Output: But is Michigan strong enough yet to take advantage of that weakness? I think so, but I would be a lot more confident if they were winning faceoffs this season.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Title] As a club team alum I love [Body]

Output: As a club team alum I love this. JP and the athletic department are clearly building the varsity program (Team Four and all that), but they are also making a real effort to honor the past. It's smart. The club alums are the donors and job network for the current players. The guys from my era had a lot of fun and made great friends playing, and the guys from the last few club teams have a lot of pride in the championships they won. And in Michigan's case, which is kind of unique in lacrosse, the D1 program came about in large part because of the way the club team was built.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Defense is much improved over [Body]

Output: Defense is much improved over the last few weeks. Not sure what people are seeing when they say awful defense. Yes there were a few breakdowns, but overall you can see the improvement. And other than Logan, they are doing it without a single guy who I would call great at that end. No defense, I don't care who you are, can shut down a good offense (and Ohio State has a good, not elite, offense) if the other team has the ball a lot more than you do. Faceoffs are the biggest factor holding this team back. And today there were a few untimely turnovers, both on offense and on clears, that didn't help. I loved the scrap in the first half. Diving for loose balls and flying around. They just played a muderers row of faceoff guys between Maryland, Rutgers and Ohio State. They survived Rutgers because they actually are a slightly better team and they had just enough offense, but Maryland and Ohio State without the ball isn't going to work out too well. I'm hopeful they can compete a little better for faceoffs in the next two weeks. Hopkins and Penn State are good there, but not like these last three. If this team beats Penn State and makes the Big Ten tournament that's a success for this year. Everybody picked them to be last of six, and they already are positioned to be 4th or 5th.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 10 hours ago [Title] Release says attendance was [Body]

Output: Release says attendance was 800 and some change. To be expected I suppose on Easter Sunday. I seem to recall that the date of the spring game was changed within the last couple of months, so I would guess that had something to do with it. That and the regime change with both new Jims taking over. Probably other factors too having to do with the Big Ten starting up. I suspect they have less flexibility with their own conference scheduling than they did with the ECAC. I'd love to see them do what Ohio State does with their spring game and lacrosse game combo. They play the lacrosse game first, then have a real game for the spring game, which helps draw huge crowds for both. Winning also helps I suppose. Huge win yesterday though. Nice to have King back. They got dominated at faceoffs for the second straight week, but this time found a way to overcome that. Ohio State looked great last night against Hopkins. Chances for an upset depends on which Buckeye team shows up on Sunday. The one last night or the one that laid a goose egg against ND and lost to Detroit. Hopkins, as much as they are struggling, will be a really tough out, especially on the road. That game is their homecoming (yes, they have their school homecoming in the spring at a lacrosse game). Penn State seems to be the best chance to get another win and hopefully lock down a tournament spot.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] Got to go to the game [Body]

Output: Got to go to the game yesterday. Maryland is a top 3 team for a reason. To be fair, three of Michigan's losses this season are to the current #1, #3 and #10. This is still a much improved team in its fourth year. They just don't have the horses and skill sets that the elite teams do yet. A few thoughts from this one. 1. Maryland is loaded on offense, but they don't wow you there. They are very methodical. Where they kill you is on faceoffs, where Raffa is a complete animal, and defense/goalie. Michigan didn't get the ball much because of Raffa, and when they did they had a lot of trouble generating quality shots. The Maryland goalie ate up most of the shots they did manage. They are giving up less than 5 goals per game this season, which is insane. 2. Michigan really misses King. As I said, they had trouble getting good shots and then burying them. It can't help to be missing their one legitimate great player on that end, especially against the best defense in the country. I thought the Michigan players were athletic enough to make some things happen offensively, but their sticks let them down a lot with turnovers or bad shot placement, and Maryland jumped all over mistakes like a top-5 team should. Kyle Jackson made some things happen, but he can't do it alone. Shlosser is really fast and explosive, but his stick needs to improve. 3. It was a good crowd, maybe 3,000 or so. Lots of Michigan people. Byrd Stadium is too big for lacrosse, like Michigan Stadium, but they do a good job with the event there as you would expect at a school where lacrosse is really important.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Here's the [Body]

Output: Here's the release; http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-lacros/recaps/100811aaa.html I think your memory is a little sketchy. That was their second D1 scrimmage. They played Providence at home before that, losing 11-10 in OT. The score against St. Joe's was 9-5. They were down 5-3 at the half. Granted, that was not yet a good St. Joe's team back then. Both teams have been steadily improving since then, but obviously St. Joe's had a big head start as an older program. They did get smoked 14-2 by Towson that day. Maybe you're remembering that one. Either way, this was a good win for this team right now. St. Joe's was 11-4 last year and thumped us at home. They almost beat Virginia earlier this week. To win this one on the road without a guy like King after losing two in a row says a lot about their fortitude.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Watched the stream. You can [Body]

Output: Watched the stream. You can really see how much the offense misses King. Schlosser was great until St Joes put their pole on him. Then there weren't a lot of other offensive options. Would really like to see Jackson get back on track. He was so promising the past couple of years but seems like he's mostly ineffective this year. Is he playing hurt? Great to see the defense step up. Logan is part of that, and he played great, but the defense has been so inconsistent. They played well today, even without regulars like Hatton and Moore (assume both are hurt?). Slides and recoveries were better. Generally better on ball. Were forcing a lot of shots that Logan could save. He did bail them out a few times, but great goalies do that. Lott had a good faceoff day today, and that made a huge difference. I thought the St Joes guy who was having success late was moving early every time, but they only got the call a couple of times. Hard to tell from the angle they showed if the Joseph goal in the first OT should have been good or not. It was close.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 11 hours ago [Title] He has a nice comment about [Body]

Output: He has a nice comment about our lacrosse team in that article. Anyone know if Coach Paul had also offered him back when he accepted the OSU offer? Could he play both?


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Coach Paul needs to teach [Body]

Output: Coach Paul needs to teach Mama G how to spell lacrosse. Nice to the see the boys pulling away from teams that they were close with last year. Definite signs of improvement. Next step is playing close games with top-10 types of teams. That might still be two or three years away, which would still be fast for a new program. Was wondering when Kyle Jackson was going to blow up in a game. Hadn't happened yet this season.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 2 days ago [Title] You are projecting a loss to [Body]

Output: You are projecting a loss to Drexel? You're right, that will be a tough one. Although they did lose in a blowout to Albany today. I think Brown and St. Joe's could both be really tough as well. Hopefully these next two are wins. Even starting 4-1 with the only loss to one of the top teams in the country is a HUGE step forward.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 2 days ago [Title] IrishLax, Really appreciate [Body]

Output: IrishLax, Really appreciate this post. I think you nailed it about the the ND team. I was hoping for an upset this week based partly on the GTown score and partly on Michigan's two blowout wins, but reality hit today. ND was a national finalist (and ACC champ, which is no joke) last year for a reason and is better this year. Michigan is a fourth year program with three recruiting classes and only one superstar. The only thing that really surprised me was the faceoff struggles until Michigan apparently started using a pole there. They are an above average faceoff team. But that's often a matchup thing that can sometimes go either really well or horribly wrong despite prevous stats and match-ups. It's way to early to say if JP is not the guy. As you say, the team is showing very steady improvement and from all reports they are blowing the doors off in recruiting (which Paul is ultimately responsible for) starting with their 2016 class. I played club with him and have so much respect for all that he's accomplished. But who knows? I'd love to see what he can do with a team that is loaded with ND level talent. I am really happy to see this rivalry starting. As Michigan's program gets better, it's going to be great to see these games turn into battles. Congrats to Coaches Paul and Corrigan for getting it going.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Oosterbaan is definitely an [Body]

Output: Oosterbaan is definitely an advantage, but since the lights were replaced a few years ago I'm always amazed at how bright it is in there compared to the old days. Plus they painted the walls blue recently, which makes seeing the ball a lot easier than most indoor buildings (Penn State, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Ultimate where Detroit plays) that have white walls. I may be wrong here, but I believe that Notre Dame practices and plays on a narrow field in Loftus as well, so the "tight confines" may not be such an advantage. They definitely have a track around their indoor field, so the building is bigger, but I believe they play the football sidelines. Completely agree that the early season success is encouraging, but Notre Dame is a whole different level. Will be very interesting to see if the boys can hang.

Output: "what set them apart was undying school loyalty, a fatherly love of their players, and the utmost integrity off the field." I think you just described Brady Hoke. The characteristics you listed were all true of them and many other great coaches, but I believe what set Bo apart (and Woody to be fair) were personalities that were at once unassuming - not wanting to be celebrated, but at the same time filled a room. And they won. That always helps in the fond memories department.

Output: On a related and more serious note, the lacrosse team actually has Gerald Ford's grandson Christian committed to their 2016 class. He's a top 50 recruit from San Diego. Pretty solid legacy situation there. Wonder if he'll wear 48?


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 4 days ago [Title] How is this unique? I don't [Body]

Output: How is this unique? I don't know of any college coach who misses a day for being sick unless it's a serious illness. It's part of the job and not all that weird.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 5 hours ago [Title] Since when does Denver have [Body]

Output: Since when does Denver have just one D1 sport? Their two "major" sports (the ones they consider their big-time sports) are hockey and lacrosse. In fact lacrosse is preseason #1 this season and has made the final four a couple of times in the past few years.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] It was added because Brandon [Body]

Output: It was added because Brandon wanted to add it and because JP had built a monster of a club program that was successful both at winning and raising money. DB always said he was adding it for business reasons. He thought the growth trends showed lacrosse would be a much bigger sport in the future and wanted to be on the front end of that. The money that was raised was not nearly enough to endow the program. That would take 20 or 30 million at least. DB said it was just to offset costs the first couple of years. If the average cost of a scholarship is about $50k, and lacrosse gets 12.6 (the NCAA limit), that would make the annual cost to the athletic department $630,000. Not insignificant, but won't break the bank.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Can't answer that, but I do [Body]

Output: Can't answer that, but I do know the team won the department's community service award two years ago. Since then they switched to recognizing individuals, and Jeff Chu was one of the winners last year. So they take that role seriously.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 3 hours ago [Title] Only the 3rd varsity athlete [Body]

Output: Only the 3rd varsity athlete or are you including all athletes? Abdul was on the varsity-club lacrosse team. Won the Rhodes and the Marshall and was commencement speaker in 2007. http://www.michigandaily.com/content/2008-11-24/u-student-wins-prestigou...


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Football and basketball [Body]

Output: Football and basketball generate net revenue, although you could remove the basketball revenues and barely notice the hit to the overall budget. Hockey is more or less break-even and made money in the Big Chill year because of that one game. No other sport at Michigan makes more than it spends. But it's not quite that simple. Facilities are paid for mostly through donations. Some scholarships and coaching positions are endowed. Other revenue sources bring in a lot (BTN, donations, sponsors, etc.). I do know that in the case of lacrosse the first few years of operating expenses were covered by donors. I know this because I'm one of them (although my check was pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things).


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Maryland lacrosse, both men [Body]

Output: Maryland lacrosse, both men and women, are also very good.

Input: [Date] 38 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Or even the lacrosse team. [Body]

Output: Or even the lacrosse team.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Varsity lacrosse [Body]

Output: Varsity lacrosse (obviously). Night football games. I wish we played one or two every year. Best atmosphere I've seen in my 50 years of going to games. The wins in those games don't hurt. Support for all non-revenue sports. Important to remember that new facilities come from donor gifts, not from ticket revenues. Many of those donors wouldn't give for other causes. They want to see their names on buildings and/or direct their money that way. More power to them. Also important to note that while lacrosse is a non-revenue sport, they raised a ton of money on their own to kickstart the varsity program and probably brought of lot of additional potential donor support in the future.


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Apologies for threadjacking, but its a time of dire circumstances. Myself and the other members of the solar car team would like to watch the game from Australia, either at a sports bar or on a webstream, or anywhere. The hostel we're staying blocks a lot of video sites (justin.tv,espn3) so anything off the beaten path would be helpful. We are currently in Adelaide, if there are any locals who know of any good bars to watch at. Thanks guys, Go Blue! [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 2 weeks ago [Body] I played with him in high school, he's a good guy, and a damn good football player too. Even on a crap team like Troy Athens he still managed to put up numbers despite the fact that everyone knew he was gonna get the ball. He's also deceptively fast, sort of the long strider type. I don't ever remember him getting caught from behind. Best of luck to the Duze at the next level. [Title]

Output: I played with Jake.

Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Title] I think the worst gift Iever [Body]

Output: I think the worst gift Iever got was a slinky...............when I was 28! I went to my wifes family's house and apparently they felt the need to give me a gift and didn't ahave one there so they ran to the local drug store and picked up a slinky! The thought was sincere but it was just funny becasue how do you react to opening a slinky when you are 28 yrs old. And no, it wasn't a prank gift either!

I hope he rests in peace and feel sorry for his family but he was a GOOD FOOTBALL COACH, PERIOD! You don't sit by and let what transpired happen and expect everyone to forget about it.


Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Title] No, I expect my self to see [Body]

Output: No, I expect my self to see the process through and make sure that there is something done about it. Not swept under the rug for 15 yrs. If you were in the same position and you did as he did would you be satisfied with the results? I think not. I feel bad for his family and for everyone that was close and lost him and I hope he rests in peace but to ignore the fact of what happened and his role in it is not fair to all the children involved and to anyone who had ever been monlested.

Output: It's gonna go more like this. Hoke is gonna walk up to Fickle at the pre-game handshake and say.. "You know I'm gonna kick your ass today right? There is nothing you can do. I'm not gonna get flashy, tricky , or sneaky. I'm gonna run this damn ball right down your throat and sprinkle in a pass every now and then to mix it up and then my main man Mattison is gonna make Braxton and Herron wipe the snot bubbles of their noses every other play. The only reason it won't be every play is because we want you to come back out after halftime. Have a great day and tell Meyer to put on his big boy pants cause its gonna get ugly from here on out! Or something to that effect!


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] You all have it wrong. He [Body]

Output: You all have it wrong. He announces that he doesn't know what the fuss is about because he already suspended him from practice yesterday. See, I told you he has zero tolerance and was fast to act on this. They don't stand for that stuff at State!

Output: Well, If we are being honest then ummmmmmmm......YES.


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Title] I like it and think that it [Body]

Output: I like it and think that it creates a crazy game time atmosphere but what it all boils down to is the players. They seem to react and get pumped during the important times that it is played and I think it is gonna be up to them and the coaches on when and how it's used. As long as it helps them in some way why should anyone else give a damn.


Input: [Date] 3 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Damn, I saw the TomVH at the [Body]

Output: Damn, I saw the TomVH at the begining of the title and got so happy that I just rushed in here thinking for some odd reason he had come back to us! Unfortunately this was like opening a package at christmas only to find out you got socks. It is useful in an everyday sense but just lacked the suprise factor I was hoping for! Oh well. Good post anyway op. Thanks.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] Exactly. Sounds like he had [Body]

Output: Exactly. Sounds like he had to contact him to confirm, not the other way around. And normally if there is a press conference and it is good for us, the recruit.contacts Tom and he is the OP.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] Even though they can, I don't [Body]

Output: Even though they can, I don't think anybody would want to have to rely on a true freshman @ receiver. Imo, there is no way they take less than 1 wr and probably end up with 2.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] The only way I could [Body]

Output: The only way I could positively put a spin on this for us would be that it has always sounded like he has really liked what Michigan had to offer but earlier in the process he wasn't ready to commit and they parted ways. Now, with a renewed interest, having seen the other two schools as well, the limited spots left, and the HUGE ND visit weekend, he doesn't want to miss out a second time so he is making a decision. I know that might sound crazy but if we didn't have a legitimate shot, why even announce we were back in contention to just decide the next week. I say 50/50 Michigan/PSU. Just got a feeling ND Oscar third wheel.

Output: Evan smotrycz would like a word


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 3 days ago [Title] being able to hack it on the football field is NOT a requirement [Body]

Output: Thats on the coach for misevaluating a kids character or talent. If the player broke no rules, he gets to keep his scholarship. Those are the guidelines the by the book coaches keep, and any coach who operates under a different premise unevens the playing field and obatins a competitive advantage. Bottom line is this.... player broke no rules, is academically eligible and wants to stay on scholarship, then guess what, he gets to keep his scholarship.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 3 days ago [Title] backdating only matters for the 25 man per year limit [Body]

Output: Not the 85 overall cap. You cant backdate your way out of counting up total guys on scholarship for the 15 football season. The 85 total cap is the limiting factor here. 85 minus 73 equals 12 total scholarships currently available for the 15 class pending further attrition.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Does anybody know [Body]

Output: why Snyder still gets and has always gotten normal access to the basketball program? why isnt he blackballed?


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Very limited trade market for Monroe bc he has a no trade clause [Body]

Output: Monroe has a 1 year no trade clause because he signed the qualifying offer. The pistons had to make the qualifying offer to make him a restricted free agent. But since he didnt either sign an offer sheet from another team or agree on a long term deal with Detroit, the only avenue left was signing the one year qualifying offer. This makes him untradable without his consent this year and an unrestricted free agent next year. So any team the trades for him cant offer him an extension because the deadline has passed. So he will reach free agency no matter what. This means no team is going to give up anything significant for him. Hes not an elite player, so teams will just wait til the summer to make a run at him.

Output: Dave Brandon is flying in the Ferguson police dept. as we speak


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Most sportsbooks just copy and paste the lines [Body]

Output: Lines typically orginate first from an offshore sportsbook for games that day or that week. Of course, they are futures lines like Jamie listed, but these arent for nearly every game. From what I understand, CRIS and pinnacle are the offshore books that put out lines first and many other sportsbooks duplicate those lines, with some subtle adjustments, usually not more than a half point or some extra vig, to account for the bet patterns of their client base. For example, a sharp book like pinnacle might open an NFL game team A −6.5 v. team B. And a square or public book might open that same game team A −6.5(−120) v. team B (meaning bet 120 to win 100 as opposed to 110 to win 100). Or if they anticipate even more action on the favorite, they might open team A −7 vs. team B to dissaude too much action on team A. But in most cases the lines are the same, any differences in the lines are small and the differences get hammered out pretty quickly. The books that put out opening lines typically have lower bet limits to reduce their exposure to having released a bad number. So there are occassional arbitrage opportunities where two books have different lines simautaneously, but the house edge makes the opportunities difficult to generate a profit for the effort level required. I go to donbest.com to look at lines, as they have about 15 different books listed. But there are others with odds screens like vegasinsider.com, pregame.com, covers.com and probably some obvious sites im missing.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 3 days ago [Title] It doesnt impact bets already placed [Body]

Output: When you place a bet at a sportsbook, that wager stands even if the line moves. So if you bet Michigan +12.5 vs. MSU right now and at game time the line is Michigan +9, then your bet will be graded as it was when you made the wager. The line movement is just saying whats available to be bet on now, as opposed to what was available previously. The most important thing in betting is getting the best of the number. So, you will be a +EV bettor long term if the line moves in favor of the team you bet on.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Title] 31 to 24 [Body]

Output: Michigan 31 Utah 24


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Teasers are very rarely valuable [Body]

Output: Unless, youre teasing across both 3 and 7, its usually not worth it. Teaser sides have to each hit about 72% or more to be profitable. .72 X .72 = .5184, which should be around break even point if standard vig. If you think plus 11 is a good bet, take that. But moving from 11 to 17 or 17.5 doesnt shift your probability of winning that leg of the bet by enough to be worth it. In general, I would only tease in lower scoring games with spreads in single digits. just my opinion, though. Have fun betting a safe amount.


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I am hoping that they do a delayed home and home like this [Body]

Output: And only one of McQuaid and Coleman. Assuming a 3 man class and the 4 spot filled by transfer


Input: [Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: This kid is incredible. I've been reading about him for a while. Great shooter and playmaker. Pretty damn good athlete as well. I think if he played HS in US he'd be a top 10 recruit


Input: [Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Title] DJ Wilson [Body]

Output: he is going to play the 4 at Michigan. Hes 6 foot 8 with pretty good vertical athletecism. If you dont think he gets the bulk of his minutes at the 4, you havent been paying close enough attention to JBs tenure at MIchigan. And I think Donnal gets most of the backup 5 minutes in lieu of Bielfeldt or Doyle. When in doubt and when there are minutes up for grabs, Beilein tends towards guys with more perimeter skills. I really really think Wilson is going to play a lot this year, even more so if MItch leaves, which would bump Donnal up to starting at the 5. Shoot, if MItch leaves, Chatman may even start at the 4.

Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Title] Mercer Mercer Mercer Mercer Mercer [Body]

Output: Mercer Mercer Mercer Mercer Mercer Mercer 81st in Kenpom or 7th. 77th in sagarin or 20th. This isnt even close. I think we know Tennesse isnt quite the 7th best team in the country, but theyre atleast top 25. The gap is pretty large between the two teams.


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] I think of Manny Harris too [Body]

Output: not in the sense that hes the only one I think of, just the first one, because I think of that 09 season, my senior year.


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] when this happened [Body]

Output: Jalen and Rembert starting yelling “eff yo couch” ala dave chappelle.


Input: [Date] 1 year 24 weeks ago [Title] Seriously? [Body]

Output: Nik Caris screens would just get switched every time. Then it'd be an isolation or have to get into another action.


Input: [Date] 1 year 24 weeks ago [Title] it actually depends [Body]

Output: If Austin Hatch is on scholarship next year, Michigan needs to lose one guy through attrition, whether by NBA draft or transfer. If Hatch is not on scholarship, Michigan can return everyone and still be at 13. They have 11 this year, so 2 open. They graduate Morgan, taking them down to 10. So Chatman, Doyle, Wilson makes 13. Michigan whiffing on Booker and Blackmon opened up some scholarship wiggle room. It all depends on Hatchs status. I hope he can play for Michigan.


Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Title] my god [Body]

Output: this cant be real


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Title] I think the intuitiveness of going by 3pt allowed [Body]

Output: rather than by % allowed is that teams tend to shoot threes when they are open, and dont when they arent... thus most teams have a roughly similar distribution of the opennesss of attempts agaisnt them. Thus measuring attempts would imply a certain amount of each type... open, semi contested and heavily contested. And that % allowed is highly variant and that most teams havent played enough games for that to normalize, and likely wont by the end of the year.


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Title] This draft isnt acutally that deep [Body]

Output: It just has 6 to 7 possible franchise players at the top of it. Embiid, parker, wiggins, randle, exum, smart, gordon... after that a big dropoff to guys like Saric, G Harris, Cauley Stein, ZLavine, Vonleh, Hood, GR3, James young, Selden, Harrison twins, Dekker, payne,


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Title] Yeah [Body]

Output: I haven't heard anything either way about which way Mitch is leaning. And I don't think Mitch's rehab would be sufficiently different depending on his draft preferences.


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Title] Nbadraft.net is a joke [Body]

Output: Don't use that site. look at espn chad fords stuff and draft express


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] Yeah I dont know [Body]

Output: if they were only switching off ball screens, or if they were switching on ball screens as well. Regardless, Irvin wasnt in position to switch and prevent penetration or to hedge, whatever th assignment was. I wish someone could ask Beilein about that play so we can properly allocate blame and credit. But yes, Stauskas was weak at the end, and shoulda made more effort to box out Smith once it was clear petteway was past him and Smith was his man on the roll.


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] Stauskas defensive criticism last play [Body]

Output: I want to address this. I dont think its as simple as saying he got blown by. Nebraska runs a screen the screener action. Irvins man sets an off ball screen on GR3, freeing Robinsons man to go set a ball screen for petteway on Stauskas. In theory, this is intended to eliminate the hedge help and allow penetration, because GR3 would have to fight over the off ball screen just to get in position to defend the ball screen and may not get to the right spot or be off balance. However, Michigan switches everything as they often do on last possessions. Irvin doesnt quite communicate in time and is caught too low to help on the action. Its easier to see in the highlight vid on mgoblue.com than in the gif above, but if you pause it when petteway crosses the 3pt line, Irvin should be a few feet higher and wider and thus petteway would either have to retreat dribble or pass it off. I actually thought Stauskas did a good job of locking and trailing around the screen, which never actually got set, but he had to take that angle around the screen in anticipation of it. Its clear by Niks positioning that they are forcing him to use the screen, rather than pushing the ball handler baseline, so Nik is expecting help middle. It just never comes because of Nebraskas off ball action made Irvin a split second late. Good play drawn up by Tim Miles, and it works in part because it makes Irvin, a wing, the big man defender in a ball screen, a role to which he is largely unnacustomed.


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] Yep Nebraska much improved [Body]

Output: Mich was a 5.5 pt fave at the sportsbooks, and projected to win by 4 by Kenpom ( which doesn't know about McGarys injury). 1pt win isn't that far off expectations and if Mich had made free throws or Nebraska didn't go crazy from 3 they'd have been right on. Still lotta issues on D guarding screen roll that need to be fixed. But I expect Nebraska is better than NW an PSU and could compete with purdue for 9th in league.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] So you are asking our coach (who is one of the few coaches who doesn't act like an idiot, one who doesn't yell at his players and instead tends to teach his players and calmly explain the situation) to berate his team, his boys, during a hostile road game??? I can assume you have never coached in your life because as a Coach your behavior is one of your most valuable tools. You cannot just become a d*ck to your players when times are bad. its not about motivation. its out of character for beilein to act that way. And I am glad he didn't act that way. [Title]

Output: soo.


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Body] I love that whenever we play Wisc...even in 30 years we can more than likely include (insert best athlete here) will dunk on that ginger from Wisconsin. [Title]

Output: ginger


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Body] Only problem is that Wisc has never been the more athletic team and yet they find ways to check teams. This one is probably going to be ugly. Let's hope for a minimal amount of heroball needed today. Mich by 3. [Title]

Output: only problem


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Body] It seems to me that this year might be a low in state number of recruits. The big 3 and a couple cass options. Gotta snag at least one of the Big 3. [Title]

Output: It seems to me that this year


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Body] I like the names you chose! As a soon to be parent...choosing a name is quite the task. Congrats! [Title]

Output: cool names


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Do you think they will let us know if Coach has ever been an assistant along the way? We never hear about that. [Title]

Output: Beilein


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Michigan is probably behind Ohio in the hunt too [Body]

Output: I've already seen a ton of Drake's quotes expressing his great respect for urban and coombs and that a visit will be scheduled there very soon. I have almost read nothing in that respect concerning a visit to Michigan. Which has me very concerned because lately there have been a lot more recruits from Michigan other than Damon Webb and Drake Harris expressing great interest for Ohio. For example Cass tech RB Mike Webber already has OSU as his leader. MSU may be falling on their faces right now but Ohio is sweeping into Michigan very hard now.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Do you think [Body]

Output: Do you think Alabama take him back after the way he left them? I mean I guess it would be like us taking Dawson back sans the retarted tattoo.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Ritch is a nice guy [Body]

Output: But I think if Bama loses we may have to see them again in the Capital One Bowl. Not saying we would lose again but I'd much rather play another team. Although, I wonder how Gardener would fair in a rematch?


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Wish I could start my own thread on our underdogs [Body]

Output: Recently, I went through some of our less popular commits (Hurst, Stribling, Hill, Dukes,and York) and I am astonished by our ability to notice and lock down talent. I recommend the mgo-community go and check out some of those players senoir highlights. Especially Hurst, his film is unreal and I am VERY VERY glad we snapped him up. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/336860/highlights/2511384


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Im sure Channing is gonna get [Body]

Output: Im sure Channing is gonna get his third star but the question is if he is worthy of being a four star. I honestly don't care because the coaches are sold on him, but I know he as a player would appreciate that accolade. Also what was the official update on his injury?


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I really wish spell check was [Body]

Output: I really wish spell check was built into this text boxes my bad lol


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Basketball [Body]

Output: As much as I will miss the Wolverines storming to the field, watching them storm out on the court has been just as satisfying so far.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Interception [Body]

Output: Channing is great at positioning himself for impact plays. Underthrown but he is a playmaker.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] No he isnt a legacy player [Body]

Output: No he isnt a legacy player but I feel he falls into that genre because his family ties to the NFL. A lot of coaches sons have done well anyways though. I though Kugler had a brother that played college ball though, which I think makes you a legacy player in a way. I guess legacy may not be the right word but those strong family ties go along way in preparing a player.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Who was discussed [Body]

Output: I missed the broadcast but who was actually discussed that caused this major bias on the *buckeye side of things. I am on Wolverinenation and Tom often has to fend off of the stupidity of buckeye nation.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] This kid really softens the blow [Body]

Output: Of loosing Gareon Conely. Another phenomenal athlete picked up by the coaches. I expect to see him all over the field today.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I love that about our Michigan teams [Body]

Output: Whether it is basketball and now football, there are quite a few legacy players. We have seen how being a legacy kid has paid off for player like Hardaway and GRIII, really hoping this logic transfers to football.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I hope UCLA wins [Body]

Output: NOT a fan of Nebraska but for the B1G I think they could handle UCLA in the Rose bowl


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I usually don't buy into conspiracy theory but... [Body]

Output: This makes a ton of since. As a Falcons fan I don't like giving Mora too much credit, but if UCLA wins it would make a ton of sense. Oregon really got F***** this year lol


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I am also new to MGoblog [Body]

Output: But I am not new to recruiting and I think this is completely normal for any recruiting cycle. Yes, it sucks to have our players decommit but compared to other universities, who allow visits, our recruitment at Michigan has much less drama than other places like USC or most SEC schools. At schools who allow visits, their commits go on every official visit and give another school a shot at flipping them. My friends at UGA sit on the edge of their seats literally EVERY week not knowing whether a kid got "blown away" by a visit they took. So I say relax because we are Michigan "For God's sake".


Input: [Date] 6 days 8 hours ago [Body] Williams? Swarthmore? Pamona? lol. And don't give me this "they're great schools!" nonsense. These Forbe articles are nothing but an open hand from Forbes to have these smaller schools get advertisement and for Forbes to get some back door money - enrollment at small liberal art schools has been in decline since the last recession. Gee, I wonder why? They're paying to have articles/rankings written like this so they can try and reverse the declining enrollment. [Title]

Output: this shit is laughable


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Body] In order for us to move the contract needle in 14 years, it may need to be a tick (Nike) / tock (somebody else) to get these big bumps. It will be interested to see what college football looks like in 2031. [Title]

Output: From a game theory/negotiation standpoint


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Body] why not here, and why not now? Also, who are they lining up against that has you worried so much prior to October 17th and the last Saturday in November? Do we not have the coach that can actually take talent and develop it? Is the talent and coaching we face outside of two Saturdays really better? In my estimation, it's not. Last time I checked, our current guy has done that better than anyone else in the country. [Title]

Output: everybody has to start somewhere


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Body] which is not based on any forward looking realistic projection. Yes, the past was bad. Really bad. The talent _is there_ though. The coach sucked. He was a talent and food black hole. If you don't think there will be a marked improvement from the WR group (admitedly, it wouldn't take much) then I would love to hear your thoughts on how Harbaugh must be coachspeak bullshitter with respect to his comment on how he expects this group to compete for a national championship. [Title]

Output: tired of the defeatist bullshit here


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Body] with a guy who couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag. Look, there's a reason why Harbaugh said he's looking to win a national championship this year and it's not just coachspeak - the dude knows the hand he has relative to the schedule he's playing; he knows it can be done. [Title]
