I was just getting at the guy has provided an abundance of reasons to tear into him about outside of his tubbiness (including his apparent arrogance bringing it on himself). I guess I cringe when I hear the comments from Buckeye fans and hope we can at least be more creative. Either way, Al's playcalling has cost him any level of criticism filtering!

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Body] It seems to me that you and I will never agree, since the core of my argument is that the playoffs should be decided by series (7 game series at that) in order to determine who is the better team. Short series and the spacing between the games allow teams to roll out their aces twice a series, whereas longer series are a test of depth. Baseball has always been about the depth of teams. That is why the regular season is so long, and that is why until recently it was considered absurd to have anything but series. I don't entirely disagree with you and see that there is some merit to your reasoning, but I disagree with you entirely that these benefits outweigh the assault on the very core of the game itself. There are 162 games in the regular season, and if one wildcard makes it in by a couple games over the next best ones, then so be it. Just like the Braves, they could have helped themselves by winning their games. [Title]

Output: It seems to me that you and I


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I understand these arguments, but I think some of the positive components of what you outline are overridden by what happened in 2012 during the first iteration of this format. A 94 win Braves team had to play an 88 win Cardinals team and ultimately lost a game played under protest due to one of the worst calls I have ever seen. Anyone who watched that game - which wasn't many because it started at 5PM on a Friday - should understand why a one game anything in baseball is not tenable; precisely because of that randomness. That the Cards went on to win the WS is a moot point, as they had no business being given equal treatment to a team that had a 6 game advantage on them, which played in a superior division, and which had won 5 of the 6 games against the Cardinals that season. Any benefit is far outweighed by the above being allowed to happen. [Title]

Output: I understand these arguments,


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Body] An individual baseball game is more "random" because there are far more variables at work than there are in basketball, for example, where the same 6-8 guys play the same 6-8 other who run more or less the same plays. In baseball the batter-pitcher matchup, coupled with just how difficult it is for the offense to score in general produces such outcomes. I think baseball would be less "random" if the playoffs were as inclusive as other leagues, where the top 6-8 from the AL/NL each make it and they play a 7 game series (5 game series are too short IMO). In that scenario I think the better teams would win out at a similar rate as in football. That being said, I would hate that as a baseball fan. I think the 1 game play-in game is an abomination that should be strapped to an ICBM and launched into the sun. [Title]

They were out on South U and elsewhere picking fights and whatnot the Friday before. Funny how they didn't seem to be around on Saturday night. This is when I lost all respect for PSU, well before the most recent...events. This and Braylonfest were the two best live moments in sports for me.

Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Body] I'm just going to say this and get it out of the way. It's been harder losing these games this year than it has last year. At least last year I knew we shouldn't have been good, but this year I feel there's not as big of an excuse. This team has started to go downhill and it's a pretty big bummer. I know we're better than this so what the hell? I guess it doesn't help working in C-bus this year where last year I didn't, so going into work on Mondays have been brutal. Hopefully we can get Purdue next week. Just really looking for that bowl bid at this point. [Title]

Output: I'm just going to say this

Input: [Date] 5 years 40 weeks ago [Body] I'm really disappointed with yesterday as well, but at this point I'm really just looking to make it to a bowl game. If we can get it together to win a couple more games that would be great. We're already better than last year but yesterdays game brought back memories of what we used to look like. I'm not too worried though, we shouldn't look that bad for the rest of the year (just hoping anyway). [Title]

Output: I'm really disappointed with


Input: [Date] 5 years 40 weeks ago [Body] I like Cincy as well.. Texas really hasn't done anything for me this year to prove they're the number 1 team in the country. I think yesterday was really their first impressive win all year. Bama and Florida haven't done much for me either, but I do like Bama still to be at the top. I would love to see a Bama/Cincy match up for the National Title, but that unfortunately won't happen. [Title]

Output: I like Cincy as well.. Texas


Input: [Date] 5 years 40 weeks ago [Body] I feel great about this game. I've been ready for this game since the second the Del St game ended. I really think we have this game. I don't doubt that PSU is a good team, but I still think they are a bit overrated. I see UM winning by 10-13 points (that's what I'm wishing for anyway) with a 34-24 victory. [Title]

Output: I feel great about this game.


Input: [Date] 5 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Brady is insane right now. The fact that 5 TD's have never been thrown before in a quarter and Brady did is excellent, but with him doing this in the snow is just fucking crazy. Go Brady Go.. [Title]

Output: Brady is insane right now.


Input: [Date] 5 years 41 weeks ago [Body] I just got done looking at the BCS rankings and I couldn't believe the Wisconsin ranking. They just lost at home by 10 and lost to OSU by a good amount the week before, am I missing something here? I'm enjoying Cincy at 5, it's nice to see a different Ohio team in the top 5 other than OSU. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 41 weeks ago [Body] I sat in the endzone next to the band in row A and heard them the whole game. Usually I hate listening to the opposing teams band and would prefer listening to our band, but I have to say I really enjoyed listening to Del St yesterday. They were not only entertaining but they really seemed to be having a good time. When they walked past us after the halftime show you could tell they really appreciated the applause they were getting from the crowd. I became a fan of the Del St band yesterday. [Title]

Damn, I love C-bus right now. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 41 weeks ago [Body] I'm absolutely loving this. After I got back in Ohio last night after the Michigan game everyone I talked to seems to be having a buckeye meltdown. Last week, buckeye fans were saying it didn't matter if Pryor struggled because their defense is apparently so damn good that they could win every game for them, but this week it's a different case. I just can't wait to get to work tomorrow in C-bus so I can hear more crying. What a good weekend. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 42 weeks ago [Body] Someone posted on here last night that he was suspended for violation of team rules, but I assumed it was a one game suspension. This would be news to me that he could be missing more games. I'm wondering what he did.. even so we were okay without him but it would be nice to still have him as an option in case any kind of inuries occur. [Title]

Output: Someone posted on here last


Input: [Date] 5 years 42 weeks ago [Body] I agree, Michigan will be tough to beat in the upcoming years when our team are no longer full freshmen but full of juniors and seniors. If we look like this now, I have high hopes for our future.. and if not, well it can't be as bad as last year, right? [Title]

Output: I agree, Michigan will be


Input: [Date] 5 years 42 weeks ago [Body] I hate people that are pissed about being 4-2 after going 3-9 last year. We weren't going to win the National Championship this year, we're still really young. It sucks to lose, yes, but damn calm down. We lost by 2pts to a good Iowa team, we'll be alright.

Output: Graham is an animal. And


Input: [Date] 5 years 42 weeks ago [Body] Living in Ohio I see how much everyone hates Michigan and considers us as a rival. Even the teams you don't really think about still put a target on our back.. it's definitely a compliment. People hate us because we are the best and beating us is pretty far and in between. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 42 weeks ago [Body] I've also looked ahead and will be going bowling with the boys this year.. looking ahead as fans is alright. The team will do what they need to take care of D. State and then they can take care of PSU like I think they will. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 42 weeks ago [Body] Yeah, turnovers were brutal tonight. BUT, we just barely lost to a 12th ranked Iowa, at night, on the road. Looking ahead at Penn State in a couple weeks, we should be more comfortable at home and if we can get in control of the ball we should be alright in these big games still to come. Tonight was a huge bummer, but we'll be alright. [Title]

Output: Yeah, turnovers were brutal

Output: I live in Columbus.. it gets pretty brutal sometimes depending on where you are. The most popular question I get when I wear any kind of Michigan gear is "Don't you know you live in Ohio?" Apparently, I'm only allowed to like Ohio State here. Most people will just joke around about it to me but I do every once in awhile get cussed out, people have even thrown shit at my car. I really really can't wait to get out of this town.. one day.


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Title] I couldn't really believe it [Body]

Output: I couldn't really believe it either. I drive from Columbus and every week I see a good amount of Michigan fans driving up with me but today it seemed I didn't see many UM fans till I hit Michigan.. I knew early on in the day that I was going to be surrounded by OSU fans, it's bad enough I have to live in this damn city and deal with them daily..

Output: I don't want RR fired.. I still like the guy he just needs to figure out what the hell happened to our team from the beginning of the season to now. We're playing like a different team altogether and it's getting pretty hard to watch. I really wasn't worried about losing to ILL today even after they took the lead back from us, but now I'm starting to wonder what other games we can win this year after this loss today. Definitely not looking good, but maybe things will come together for us (preferably right before OSU).

Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Body] I personally think the article's headline is a bit misleading because the "profit" was on Michigan's expense allowance for the game, and does not include Michigan's share of the remaining bowl revenue for the Sugar Bowl and other bowls. Unless the conference had to pay more in unused tickets than it received for its bowl bids, Michigan should still pocket a nice chunk of change from its share of the remainder. [Title]

Output: I personally think the


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Body] LSU fans quickly gobbled up the school's allotment of 37,000 tickets, breaking a school record for a regular-season road game. Oregon sold out its 15,000-ticket allotment. http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/ncf/news/story?id=6715802 Given the misbalance between the schools' allotments last year, I don't expect there is room for Mr. Jones to give more tickets to Michigan. This year, we aren't the equivalent of LSU facing a distant, nascent fanbase. We are matched against the defending national champions who are located within driving distance of Dallas. I suspect Jones will use the remainder of the tickets for local/Cowboys purposes, and the best we could hope for is a small group of seats or a large allotment of standing room only seats. [Title]

Output: Different situation this year?


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Body] http://www.mgoblue.com/tickets/fbl-cowboys-classic.html Victors Club members with 50 or more priority points did not face a limit unlike those who could order yesterday. Anyone who ordered more than 4 with less points either will have their order reduced, or the Athletic Department did not enforce their own policy, which is frustrating for those of us who would have ordered 1-2 more but were maxed out. [Title]


Input: [Date] 4 years 19 weeks ago [Body] I think the NCAA did not suspend the players to provide OSU the opportunity to appeal. Although they ended up only appealing the 5th suspended game, if there had been less proof, OSU potentially could have appealed the entire charge/punishment, which could have led to no suspensions if successful. You could think of it similarly to being on bail until final sentencing. [Title]

Output: I think the NCAA did not


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] God help him get the support of the fanbase if he can't even face his old team. That game is a bellwether for the rest of the season and beyond. Think back to the MWC team we played at the start of 2008. It's an opportunity to show progress against an up-and-coming non-AQ team. [Title]

Output: God help him get the support


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] I was more disappointed from that article to see that Hoke bailed out of SDSU with nothing more than a text message to his players. Michigan should have provided him the opportunity to take the extra 4-6 hours to hold a team meeting and explain his decision in person. [Title]

Output: I was more disappointed from


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] You're absolutely right. Hoke will have fewer distractions than RR due to the relationship with the fanbase and media that is clearly going to be less strained than it has been the past three years. However, the only good that can provide is if it leads to more winning. A smoother relationship with former players and boosters has not and will never be a substitute for winning. Dave Brandon clearly felt that Hoke is qualified for the job, and he does not deserve a pass due to his lack of experience as a BCS coach. I will definitely be cheering like crazy at every game next year. But until Hoke starts performing in the areas where RR failed, confident and inspiring talk will not have me convinced we are immediately on track for greatness again. [Title]

Output: You're absolutely right.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] What does letting go of RR have to do with applying the same standards to our new coach? If Hoke can't do better than 3 wins next year, or 7-6 in year 3, would you really think we should keep him? Judging by people's expectations here, 7-6 by the third year would be highly unlikely. He would be significantly underperforming, and undeserving of a fourth year based on traditional Michigan expectations. [Title]

Output: What does letting go of RR

Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] Lol if the BR media is chasing BBQ receipts and iPhone photos, their heads are going to explode if they have to start a coaching search on January 11 or 12. Then again, the Detroit media was chasing down the Domino's corporate jet at Willow Run tonight based on blogs' obsession with FlightAware. I don't know which is funnier. [Title]

Output: Lol if the BR media is


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] The Big Ten does not allow signing 27 so that coaches can greyshirt kids. There are some minutiae with scholarship numbers that allow a team to count early enrollees in the previous year's class if you have enough extra room in your scholarship limits. Michigan took advantage of these rules last year to stock the roster back up to 85 for 2010. [Title]

Output: The Big Ten does not allow


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] And here I thought the NCAA only cares when entrepreneurial reporters dig up a story exposing a violation. It turns out that even when violations are admitted out in the open, there has to be excessive stretching involved to justify a response. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] I think it would be worth pulling out the checkbook for Gruden. We are in a much weaker position than we were three years ago in terms of the attractiveness of the job, but we still have a huge checkbook to go along with state of the art facilities, and I think we should take full advantage of that before we lose it. I think his national visibility from MNF and his NFL experience/Super Bowl win more than make up for his lack of recruiting experience as a college HC. Look at the way he talks up every damned player who completes a first down on MNF. Can you imagine how convincing he could be selling the Big House and winged helmets? [Title]

Output: Gruden


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Body] You will also want to look at this link. http://www.mgoblue.com/genrel/081309aaa.html It states that a student ID is required to validate the tickets. Whenever I have had tickets validated, I have presented my ID, although I may have provided it without being asked in every case. You should absolutely be able to find a student in the Michigan Union Friday night before they close around 6 or Saturday morning before the game to validate it for you if you hand them the cash, so I wouldn't be too worried.

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

Output: Denard: National Championship for Michigan soon


Input: [Date] 5 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Actually, the bye week has already been implemented. Starting this year, the Big Ten is extending play to the 13th week of the season with each team having a bye week. This pushes the Michigan-Ohio State game to Thanksgiving weekend, which could affect attendance (don't get me wrong, I still expect 110,000+ sellouts, but it's going to lead to some students skipping UM-OSU who attend the games for social reasons primarily). The Big Ten made this change to deal with criticism that B10 football ends too soon before the other conferences. [Title]

Output: Bye week


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

Output: This does not sound good.


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

Output: Smaller football programs


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

Output: I think what it shows is that


Input: [Date] 5 years 14 weeks ago [Body] If the purpose of advertising during football games is to donate to Mott, I'd be OK with it even during the season, and by that measure advertising during the spring game to donate is something I can support too. I just see this and the expected Big Chill ads as the first step towards advertising in the Big House for football games to provide revenue for the program, not for donations. If they only stick to advertising for donations or for negative revenue events like the spring game or the Big Chill, then they're doing everything right. We'll just have to see how many seasons it is before we have "Allstate" on the field goal netting and an Arby's logo next to the block M on the scoreboard. [Title]

Output: Ads


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

Output: Advertising

Output: Yeah the loss yesterday was tough to watch..but Ohio is playing for a #1 seed today so were still looking at a solid 3 seed. I have a feeling it will be against Ohio U. The selection commitee loves doing stuff like that.


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Title] Both look like great [Body]

Output: Both look like great talents. I say make room for all of them. Wow two years ago we couldnt find a LB..now we have a chance to be stacked!!


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Title] The main thing in this game [Body]

Output: The main thing in this game is to just get out of there with a "W". I look for PSU to give us their best shot today. Burke an Hardaway will have to play well an I think we will be ok. An for some reason it seems on the road we jack up alot more 3's? Maybe its just me but it seems that way. Just run your sets an then we can all root for the Suckeyes to win..ughh!!


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Wow this is a great o-line [Body]

Output: Wow this is a great o-line class so far. The theme that I keep hearing is that they play with a nasty streak. I think ive read that about all the recent o-line commits. If your a top talent running back in the 2013 class why wouldnt you want to run behind the talent Hoke is bringing in. Hoke and his staff are doing a GREAT JOB on the recruiting trail!!


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Beach Balls are definitely [Body]

Output: Beach Balls are definitely still bouncing around the stadium. I love it when a young kid gets ahold of one and spikes it right in some 60 year old womans face 2 rows down..awesome.


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Title] The 8-0 record in the whites [Body]

Output: The 8-0 record in the whites is an interesting number. I love the maize but I also think we have wore them to much this year. I say white vs. Ohio an up that record to 9-0 in all white this year.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I learned how standards work [Body]

Output: I learned how standards work on my first dirt bike when I was 12 or so, and it wasn't hard to translate that into driving a stick. The first car I really drove extensively was my ex-gf's father's 944 in high school.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 12 hours ago [Title] I understand the law [Body]

Output: I understand the law completely, and I stand by my point. A free-rider criticizing those who pay for the good they are consuming for free is an interesting concept.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] I find it interesting that [Body]

Output: I find it interesting that someone advocating an illegal alternative would strike such a holier than thou tone, but that's just me.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I think you have it wrong [Body]

Output: What I never understood is how "cocksucker" became a derogatory term. It seems to me that, no matter your orientation, they are doing a service to somebody. Are you anti-blowjob? Seems to me like they should be praised for the good they are doing society. Cowherd, on the other hand, is awful.

Output: Utilities are absolutely "national security stuff," and they should be more than fretting about the "possibility" that their systems may be compromised.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 23 hours ago [Title] From a national security [Body]

Output: From a national security perspective, this pales in comparison to what Snowden released. And I'm saying this as one of the affected.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Title] '68 Mercury Cougar [Body]

Output: Dad bought it when I was 13 (1999) and we spent the next couple of years restoring it. Convinced him to drop a 351C in place of the 302 it came with stock. Pros: chick magnet, a ton of fun to drive Cons: cop magnet, 13MPG, no A/C Never going to get rid of it. Too many memories.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 22 hours ago [Title] Or in this case we do know [Body]

Output: Or in this case we do know who is reading it, which is instructive.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Title] It seems to me that you and I [Body]

Output: It seems to me that you and I will never agree, since the core of my argument is that the playoffs should be decided by series (7 game series at that) in order to determine who is the better team. Short series and the spacing between the games allow teams to roll out their aces twice a series, whereas longer series are a test of depth. Baseball has always been about the depth of teams. That is why the regular season is so long, and that is why until recently it was considered absurd to have anything but series. I don't entirely disagree with you and see that there is some merit to your reasoning, but I disagree with you entirely that these benefits outweigh the assault on the very core of the game itself. There are 162 games in the regular season, and if one wildcard makes it in by a couple games over the next best ones, then so be it. Just like the Braves, they could have helped themselves by winning their games.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I understand these arguments, [Body]

Output: I understand these arguments, but I think some of the positive components of what you outline are overridden by what happened in 2012 during the first iteration of this format. A 94 win Braves team had to play an 88 win Cardinals team and ultimately lost a game played under protest due to one of the worst calls I have ever seen. Anyone who watched that game - which wasn't many because it started at 5PM on a Friday - should understand why a one game anything in baseball is not tenable; precisely because of that randomness. That the Cards went on to win the WS is a moot point, as they had no business being given equal treatment to a team that had a 6 game advantage on them, which played in a superior division, and which had won 5 of the 6 games against the Cardinals that season. Any benefit is far outweighed by the above being allowed to happen.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Baseball is somewhat random [Body]

Output: An individual baseball game is more "random" because there are far more variables at work than there are in basketball, for example, where the same 6-8 guys play the same 6-8 other who run more or less the same plays. In baseball the batter-pitcher matchup, coupled with just how difficult it is for the offense to score in general produces such outcomes. I think baseball would be less "random" if the playoffs were as inclusive as other leagues, where the top 6-8 from the AL/NL each make it and they play a 7 game series (5 game series are too short IMO). In that scenario I think the better teams would win out at a similar rate as in football. That being said, I would hate that as a baseball fan. I think the 1 game play-in game is an abomination that should be strapped to an ICBM and launched into the sun.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] I never understood this and [Body]

Output: I never understood this and it drove me nuts while I was in A2. It's MEIJER not Meijers.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] In the student section right [Body]

Output: In the student section right behind a group of 30 or so PSU fans that were huge assholes to everyone around them the entire time. I can't believe how many M students sold their tickets during fall break; A2 was INFESTED with PSU bros that weekend. They were out on South U and elsewhere picking fights and whatnot the Friday before. Funny how they didn't seem to be around on Saturday night. This is when I lost all respect for PSU, well before the most recent...events. This and Braylonfest were the two best live moments in sports for me. That Saturday was one of the biggest party nights that took place while I was at M. I think because it was a generally terrible season to that point and the game ended at night the student body turned it up to 11.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] If I'm not mistaken that [Body]

Output: If I'm not mistaken that correction has to do with the speed of the satellite in orbit being faster than the speed of someone standing on the surface. The same principle would apply if you placed a clock on an extremely tall tower - the top is rotating faster than the base. These are two different principles at work here. Says that guy who's never taken physics, anyway (me).


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] At some point doesn't the [Body]

Output: At some point doesn't the University have to consider how far it is willing to go to remain competitive in this environment? I think we have two great coaches in Harbaugh and Beilein, but as the years go on, Michigan will be challenged in its ability to do things the right way while also remaining competitive. I think we are currently very near the edge of the envelope.

Output: This is the same coaching staff who set up shop at Penn State right after the Sandusky-related NCAA sanctions were imposed. As far as antics go, I wouldn't put anything past Beckman.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I think my senior year [Body]

Output: I think my senior year (07-08) was probably the last year you could really sneak in as a late night destination. They kept everything locked, but we found a tree next to the fence on the on the Crisler side that was helpful in getting over the fence. Depending on the security guard's enthusiasm and weather, you could get a lot of time in on the field. It was pretty epic after a fresh snow. The best part is that the security lights were bright enough for you to see pretty well. I'm sure it's totally different now. Thanks, Dave Brandon.

Output: Age? 29 Occupation? Nuclear security/nonproliferation Location? DC Alum? LSA 2008 Most MICHIGAN thing you've ever done? (funny, memorable, etc.) Snuck into the Big House at 1AM and played football. We got a whole hour in before being run off.

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I was just in Tbilisi, though [Body]

Output: I was just in Tbilisi, though Yerevan is great too. I of course read mgoblog while there so at least for a time there's two mgobloggers in the Caucasus. EDIT: Okay, now there are at least three. EDIT EDIT: I accidentally upvoted myself, so rather than living with that shame I downvoted myself.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm not really sure they are [Body]

Output: I'm not really sure they are at a disadvantage in recruiting because Michigan is running a series of half day camps in the South. Auburn is permanently located in Alabama, so I don't think things have changed. Plus they pay their players, etc. They are just whining because they are babies. Also I think it's hilarious that Auburn thinks it is a bigger name than Michigan.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I had similar experience too, [Body]

Output: I had similar experience too, and it was an extremely bizarre feeling. On one hand I wanted us to ruin what I perceived at the time to be a small chance they would make the playoffs, just so I could be assured that they wouldn't win it all. On the other, I felt as you described - I needed Michigan to lose to ensure Hoke wouldn't be retained. I don't know if I was happy, but I sure wasn't upset about the whole thing. I hope I never have to feel like that again.


Input: [Date] 1 week 21 hours ago [Title] Can't really hate JT Barrett [Body]

Output: Can't really hate JT Barrett either, both kids seem to have good heads on their shoulders unlike some other represensatives of that team... I'm quite impressed with both actually, seem pretty mature.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 31 min ago [Title] Dumbass Thing to Say [Body]

Output: I would rather not win national championships / Big Ten championships than hurt these kids' lives. At the end of the day, football is just a fucking game. It doesn't really matter in the sense it doesn't really affect anyone's individual (realistic) standard of living. Kicking kids off the team / off scholarships / forcing them to transfer purely for competiveness' sake is a real and terrible thing to do.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Man I'm Old [Body]

Output: Class of 2017, huh? I was a class of 2011 BBA and graduation still seems like yesterday at times... Anyway, congratulations to the OP. As others have said, it's not all rosy in the Bschool. Specifically, there's a lot of arrogance and a lot of tools in there who think that somehow Ross is better than the rest of Michigan. I've always loved the school as a whole (and MGoBlog and football helps there, of course) so I didn't have that mentatliy, but watch out for falling into that trap. Classes shouldn't be too tough (although Year 1 is a little more challenging) due to the massive grade-inflation. You should definitely keep your GPA in the 3.8 range and above for jobs, which shouldn't be that hard with strategic class selection if you don't want to work that hard. Make sure you join and actively lead / participate in clubs in the career fields you are interested in. I didn't do anything there, which looks terrible haha. Networking is absolutely crucial to getting jobs, so start early and learn how to do it right (e.g., without being annoying). Learn from older classmates who were successful at getting good jobs. I was always terrible at networking and though I ended up in pretty good spots, it would have helped a lot more if I knew what I was doing. Anwyay, that's my unsolicited advice which is hopefully helpful for a freshly-minted BBA. Unlike the other schools (which are and should be focused on more theoretical academic knowledge, say philosophy or something), the purpose of Bschool is to get you a job. Use the school for its intended purpose without getting sucked in to a dbag mentality and you'll do well.

Output: I think the ending was pretty hilarious as well... Harbaugh just answers these questions like they are so blindingly obvious. Great shit.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Troubling [Body]

Output: I think it's worrying that King's former high school coach is speaking so much to the media about this - it seems that indicates relations have further soured between King and our coaching staff, boding poorly for us to pull recruits from there. Obviously a high school coach would stickup for his former player, but the tone of his statements almost seems like a mistrust of Harbaugh's reasoning, whatever it might be.

Output: Definitely - if you see this haha. Hit me up over email or Facebook at jcorqian for either (I use gmail).


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Thanks for compiling - [Body]

Output: Thanks for compiling - interesting data. Maybe Michigan isn't unique in this regard, but it seems to me at first glance that these lists are rather... short. I guess I would have thought we would have had way more fumble returns for a touchdown in our school history, for example. Same with kickoff returns for a touchdown.

Input: [Date] 23 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Some Advice From a Fall 2015 Admit [Body]

Output: OP, it seems we are the exact same age and are looking at a similar type of situation, so hopefully my advice is useful. Just for background, I graduated Michigan undergrad b-school in 2011 and will have worked for about four years before starting business school in the fall. I applied Round 1 to Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, and Columbia and got denied by Stanford, waitlisted at Harvard, and accepted in Wharton and Columbia. I will most likely be attending Wharton in the fall. A couple things standout to me: You seem in a rush to go to MBA because you hate your current job Your GMAT is low You have not stated what you want to do coming out of MBA You are considering MBA programs lower-tier than Ross Given these things, here's my advice to you, in order of priorities: Figure out what you want to do, at least directionally. You seem to just want a career change but don't really know what your goal is. This will get you slaughtered both in the admissions process and while at school, because your admissions story won't be all that cogent and even if you get in, you will have a hard time prioritizing what to do / how to spend time etc. and could very well potentially end up in a job you don't actually like (or can't find a job because you aren't focused enough). I think this is extremely important and I am a firm believer that no one should go to MBA just to get away from their current job and without knowing themselves enough to know what they want (not that it can't change later). Get your GMAT score at least to 700. This will make you at least competitive at top schools - you want the GMAT at least to be a reason not to go against you (even if it doesn't directly help you). I firmly believe the GMAT is not a test of intelligence, it is a test of memorizing random tricks and applying them under time pressure. If you study enough, you absolutely CAN get a score of over 700. When I first started studying I got a 670 - through concentrated studying, I raised it 100 points. This is possible if you put in the effort. Narrow down your schools based on a few criteria - I think the two most important are what kind of career you want coming out and if the right people recruit at that school (notice that figuring out what you want is the number one priority), and the location that you want to be in post-graduation. Now the top schools will allow you to largely go anywhere (e.g., if you go to Stanford you can still get jobs in NYC), but if you are planning to look at lower schools then choosing a school based on where you eventually want to live is more critical because they don't have national reputations. I would rule out schools ranked lower than Ross. I think Ross is a good option because basically most of the good companies who would recruit at a Harvard still come to Ross, and the power of the Ross alumni network is still decent nationally. Now, once you go lower than that, you are losing these two pieces - you mentioned UW - Foster but I really think that's burning money and would just simply focus my efforts on getting a job / changing careers without MBA. In business and law schools, the level of "prestige" matters incredibly (in contrast to, say, medical school - you can still be a doctor going to any medical school). Given these things and just how hard it is to get into anywhere decent during Round 3, I would absolutely urge you to suck it up at the job and wait it out and apply Round 1 this fall. First of all, you won't have the time to figure out what I stated above before Round 3. Second of all, I think you should consider the longer-term implications of your decision rather than just running away from something. I know the current job sucks (I'm in one I hate as well) but the risk of going back to school, doing something just as bad, and burning money at the same time is too high to not make an informed decision. Sorry this isn't all rosy, but the real world is a cold place and I want to give as real of advice as possible. Good luck with everything from a fellow die-hard Michigan fan.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I don't know if you can [Body]

Output: I don't know if you can comprehend this, but the starting quarterback at the University of Michigan posting pictures at the hospital probably does a lot of good in of itself to raise awareness for the hospital and the sick patients. In fact, there's a valid argument to be made that all the other athletes should post pictures too as it will raise even more awareness. Go ahead, think about it. I'll wait.

Input: [Date] 35 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Confusion [Body]

Output: So I'm a bit confused because I thought I had read right here on MGoBlog (perhaps in one of Brian's Searchbits posts) that Hackett was very reluctant to even take the interim AD job? And that he was content in his retirement and definitely didn't want the permanent position but was just filling in because he is a huge Michigan supporter and former player with fairly good leadership experience? Since then, I haven't heard anything along these lines and it seems more and more like his term is getting longer. Just wondering if anyone had a perspective on this - doesn't seem like these two positions really reconcile. Did he simply change his mind and decide he likes being AD?


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Hopslam [Body]

Output: To be honest, I don't really love Two Hearted. I'm a huge Bells fan (and general small brewery / craft beer fan), but I don't think Two Hearted really differentiates itself significantly from many other pale ales out there. Don't get me wrong, it's great, but not something I'd go out of my way for. The Michigan ties and the good times I had while drinking it obviously make a difference, but it's not enough to make it outstanding. Now Bell's Hopslam is a ridiculously distinctive and noteworthy beer that is much harder to find outside of Michigan (I live in NYC and have seen a few times, but nowhere near how much Two Hearted is distributed). The stories I could tell about getting hammered on the deliciously enjoyable beer...

Output: This is kind of a weird point to me. I have no reason to doubt what you are saying (empirically it seems true), but who cares? I am a fan of Michigan football and so long as a coach can help the Michigan Wolverines be successful, I honestly don't care if the players he develops are amazing in the NFL or not. Would it be nice? Of course. Is it a priority / does it really matter to me? Nope. I'd be pretty happy with a Tebow, with a Prescott, or with a Gardner being used correctly.

Output: Not to pick on you too much, OP, but your post is a classic example of picking out an outlier to make an untrue assertion. Sure, it worked for Michigan THAT YEAR, but that doesn't mean that you can use 1997 as a predictor for 2013 or any other year since of course the actual trend is for teams which are younger overall not to do as well.

Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Thanks for this update, I for [Body]

Output: Thanks for this update, I for one really enjoy hearing about all Michigan sports and would love to get regular info beyond football and basketball (which are obviously great).

Output: Maybe they should call Tim Beckman... He seemed ready for the big leagues. Oh wait, 2012 just happened...


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] It's an easily debatable [Body]

Output: It's an easily debatable decision, but I wouldn't say it's inexcusable by any means. Brian, the Mathlete, and others have been advocates of going for it on fourth down. I would love to see what the math says in this situation. We had been moving the ball pretty well on that particular drive as well. People talk about the impact of not making it and all the downsides, but they don't focus enough on the upside. Say we make it and really crush the spirit of the Buckeye defense, get momentum, etc. There is such thing as generating positive momentum, not simply losing momentum. There was a great Smart Football article about this.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Excellent post OP. However, [Body]

Output: Excellent post OP. However, I disagree on the 4th down play. I watched it over and over (sickeningly) on the game highlights at MGoVideo and Denard had already been engaged by a Buckeye defender. Lewan does whiff his block completely, you are right, but it's unlikely that Denard would have gotten 3 more yards while being slowed by a defender allowing Buckeye help to get to him. While this wasn't a straight up the middle play, it also wasn't attacking the edge which we did earlier extremely effectively. I'm still not sure why we don't just have Gardner rollout with a run-pass option. That seems like our best play threatening the defense in multiple spots.


Input: [Date] 1 week 21 hours ago [Body] Can't really hate JT Barrett either, both kids seem to have good heads on their shoulders unlike some other represensatives of that team... I'm quite impressed with both actually, seem pretty mature. [Title]

Output: Can't really hate JT Barrett


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 31 min ago [Body] I would rather not win national championships / Big Ten championships than hurt these kids' lives. At the end of the day, football is just a fucking game. It doesn't really matter in the sense it doesn't really affect anyone's individual (realistic) standard of living. Kicking kids off the team / off scholarships / forcing them to transfer purely for competiveness' sake is a real and terrible thing to do. [Title]

Output: Dumbass Thing to Say


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Class of 2017, huh? I was a class of 2011 BBA and graduation still seems like yesterday at times... Anyway, congratulations to the OP. As others have said, it's not all rosy in the Bschool. Specifically, there's a lot of arrogance and a lot of tools in there who think that somehow Ross is better than the rest of Michigan. I've always loved the school as a whole (and MGoBlog and football helps there, of course) so I didn't have that mentatliy, but watch out for falling into that trap. Classes shouldn't be too tough (although Year 1 is a little more challenging) due to the massive grade-inflation. You should definitely keep your GPA in the 3.8 range and above for jobs, which shouldn't be that hard with strategic class selection if you don't want to work that hard. Make sure you join and actively lead / participate in clubs in the career fields you are interested in. I didn't do anything there, which looks terrible haha. Networking is absolutely crucial to getting jobs, so start early and learn how to do it right (e.g., without being annoying). Learn from older classmates who were successful at getting good jobs. I was always terrible at networking and though I ended up in pretty good spots, it would have helped a lot more if I knew what I was doing. Anwyay, that's my unsolicited advice which is hopefully helpful for a freshly-minted BBA. Unlike the other schools (which are and should be focused on more theoretical academic knowledge, say philosophy or something), the purpose of Bschool is to get you a job. Use the school for its intended purpose without getting sucked in to a dbag mentality and you'll do well. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I think the ending was pretty hilarious as well... Harbaugh just answers these questions like they are so blindingly obvious. Great shit. [Title]

Output: I think the ending was pretty


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I think it's worrying that King's former high school coach is speaking so much to the media about this - it seems that indicates relations have further soured between King and our coaching staff, boding poorly for us to pull recruits from there. Obviously a high school coach would stickup for his former player, but the tone of his statements almost seems like a mistrust of Harbaugh's reasoning, whatever it might be. [Title]

Output: Troubling


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Definitely - if you see this haha. Hit me up over email or Facebook at jcorqian for either (I use gmail). [Title]

Output: Definitely - if you see this


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Thanks for compiling - interesting data. Maybe Michigan isn't unique in this regard, but it seems to me at first glance that these lists are rather... short. I guess I would have thought we would have had way more fumble returns for a touchdown in our school history, for example. Same with kickoff returns for a touchdown. [Title]

Output: Thanks for compiling -
