Input: [Date] 30 weeks 5 days ago [Body] A couple Raiders beat/blogger types still seem fairly certain this thing is not over and the Raiders have a good shot. This would seem to be coming from within the Raiders org., so it would seem they feel this way because of contact from the agent. It would fit with the info from this post. That said it seems like this agent is the source for much of the NFL pessimism from the beginning. Either he is really anti him going back to UM (Brian mentioned he may be losing JH as a client if he goes to college) or JH really wants to hear the offers before coming. [Title]

Output: Fwiw

Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Body] The author of this article completely screwed this up. If it was based on the rankings he would simply apply to more widely used national criteria to the regional schools. Even a "top" ranked regional school would struggle to make the top 75. Creighton accepts 80 percent of its students and as a 25 percentile ACT score of 24. It isn't some academic powerhouse. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Body] I disagree with the "major diversity" suggestion. I think it would only reward schools that offer a large group of academically questionable majors. Remember when Ohio State was making fun of Michigan for having so many kids concentrating on General Studies while they players majoring in "Family Resource Management" and "Sports and Leisure Studies". Furthermore, kids who didn't care would still be pushed into random majors. I think it is actually beneficial to put players who don't have a specific interest into concentrations like General Studies at Michigan, Business at Notre Dame, or Science, Technology, and Society at Stanford (info from old mgoblog article "Destroy Harbaugh"). It gives them a manageable selection of classes(considering their intense athletic schedules) and allows them to take classes with their peers while offering them exposure to college level courses and helping them build basic communication/analytical skills. If they fail to make it in football and desire a more specific education at a later time, schools should offer them a full-ride and admissions help to a grad program of their choosing. If anything, I think the NCAA should push to standardize education for atheletes across schools and ensure that athletes meet some core set of criteria in their coursework. Granting Terrell Pryor the status of Academic All-American is a greater mockery of college athletics than pushing kids towards a more managable course of action. [Title]

Output: I disagree with the "major


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Body] Which RB coaches would have made any of the RR-era backs into multiyear NFL players? Touissant's injury pretty much ended his NFL hopes. V Smith was never going to make in the NFL. STEVE SLATON IS NOT IN THE NFL. Does Rich Rod have any RBs currently in the NFL? Rawls was just a body in the 1 month 2011 class. Jackson hyped him up. Jackson hypes everyone up. Justice Hayes is still under 200 pounds. Hayes will still be a RS Jr. He looked pretty good in the bowl game, even if he is moving to slot. Drake Johnson, who was supposedly very raw coming out of HS, was competiting for the starting job. I thought Smith and Green improved a good amount over the course of the year. [Title]

That's not the worry. Given the high profile of this site, can't you also see why some people who are just talking out their ass would like to be worshipped as some news-breaking inside source? Not saying that's the case with this guy, but I don't know either way. I'm not aware of him posting anything here before that had inside info like this.

Or because he thought he wasn't being treated fairly and wanted to speak about it. He didn't bomb the whole program. He didn't go on a twitter war like that Illinois player. Pipkins said his piece and I have no problem with that. He's upset he's not playing football and not playing with his teammates anymore. This is not like Boren at all. Boren shit on all his teammates and transferred to OSU. You say he has no evidence, but his evidence is his own body.

Yes, there's some flopping in the NBA, but it's not that bad and it's fairly recent. And I don't watch the NBA anyway. Also, a guy flopping doesn't result in some 15-minute bullshit argument that stops the game for so long. It really wouldn't be that hard to cut down on it. Just need stronger diving rules, perhaps even after the game with some officials making the call. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 5 days ago [Body] "What does academic prestige do for an academic institution?" No, that's not my question. I worded it very poorly. What I should have said is how does being in the AAU raise their prestige? Does it actually make them a better university or have better professors? It seems a school joining the AAU just gets to now say it's an AAU member because you fit some criteria. Anyway, Nebraska isn't in the AAU. They were kicked out in 2011. So I guess the B1G doesn't actually have those standards anymore. Is Michigan really worse off because of that? http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/26078/nebraska-loses-aau-status Wikipedia's AAU page also lists them as former members so I guess nothing has changed. It seems Stanford and Cal do fine with their academic reputations without worrying about their football teams playing other football teams who attend schools that aren't as prestigious. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Well, at least they were dominating the North division when they were there. And I think they can recruit better in the Big 12 because of the Texas connection. What does the academic prestige actually do to Nebraska in practical terms? I agree though all the reasons they left in the first place seem the same, mainly Texas.

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Yes, but with how ND has partially joined the ACC and conferences and conference championships seem very helpful for getting into the playoff, it seems things have changed. The thing about all the repeated attempts to get ND in the past is that nothing was any different year after year. Realignment and the playoff especially seem to have changed things. Would be great if we could replace Nebraska with ND. No idea about how open ND really is to it though. [Title]

Output: OK, Ace Williams.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Now this is something that can be evaluated. I wouldn't be very happy being a Bo Pelini Nebraska team. I wouldn't accept oversigning. What happened in the post Ace talked about? Eh, I thought it was bad. I'd definitely prefer that it doesn't happen and I'd hope Harbaugh would be put under some pressure. I would definitely accept a few recruits who the staff thought they don't need anymore because of higher-ranked guys knocking on the door if they had already committed. Would rather the staff waited until the next cycle to start picking higher-hanging fruit even if signing up a couple mediocre players cost us a win (don't see how it'd cost more than that for a couple guys who are just so-so). EDIT: Reading who Gameboy was originally replying to and what he said, I'm not sure we really disagree at all actually. I don't think Harbaugh should be fired if he does like he did in Stanford in 2010, but I would like to hear some pointed questions from the media that would cause him to back off of doing that in the future and hopefully a conversation with Hackett behind closed doors (that we would probably never catch wind of).

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Win what exactly? The Hoke question was a serious one. What win percentage or number of B1G titles over X number of years would you be happy with? Can you name a coach who is winning conference titles regularly that treats kids well according to your criteria? Again, it's great that you have standards, but it's easy to have standards on overcommitting without having standards on winning. Clearly teams who do shady shit are at an advantage. [Title]

I remember we walked into some restaurant or fast food place and got a bunch of looks when people heard us talking and knew we weren't from around there. It was weird. It's the same looks I've gotten traveling in Asia, except, ya know, I was in America still. EDIT: Not that anyone cares but this must be some kind of record for me.

To be fair, I do think we're getting more and more egotistical. It's just that it's been going on for a long time and it's stupid to blame it all on rap.

Input: [Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Title] Davis really did make an [Body]

Output: Davis really did make an argument for more playing time. Hopefully it wasn't a result of the competition level as it was nice to see. The game also clarified Altidore's role I think. As Brian said, he didn't have many one-on-one scoring opportunities, but he did a good job of boxing defenders out and fighting for possession. There was a nice sequence in the second half where Altidore controlled a long pass, kept the defender away from the ball with his body, made a quick little pass to Bradley who tried to thread another quick pass to a wide open Davis which was just narrowly deflected. I have a feeling that more than one goal in this World Cup will follow that model: Altidore fights for possession deep allowing the rest of the team to come up, quick pass to Dempsey, quick pass to Bradley, etc, as opposed to a lone player streaking down the field beating defenders.

Input: [Date] 1 year 40 weeks ago [Title] I very much like this theory, [Body]

Output: I very much like this theory, and giving the coaches some credit in general. Regarding important games, I would throw in ND, which would seem to be a datapoint in Borges's favor. Now, for the tackle-over stuff, I think it makes a lot of sense to deploy it for the two-game Minny/Penn St. stretch. Its a totally sensible gameplan against Penn St. in particular who are thin at the linebacker position. However, it would very much be a datapoint against the coaching if we continued to see it this year. I think another factor behind running non-optimal plays partway through the season is that we want to hide plays from Michigan St. and Ohio. Make them prep for weird stuff, and then throw something completely new that they haven't seen. There are only so many times we can reinvent the offense during the season, and it makes sense to try to have some stuff off-film going into those games. For example, it would make a lot of sense to me see this team turn into a short passing team that utilizes the strengths of Gallon, Dileo and Norfleet in those games. But if that (or some other direction) is coming in the future, we don't want it on film yet, so it should stay in the barn against inferior opposition. Furthermore, if that is the plan, then you don't want to be throwing lots of bubbles, because you don't want to see press coverage on every play.


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] There's another option, which [Body]

Output: There's another option, which is to change up the playcalling. This line has been better at pass-protection than run protection. It seems to me that an emphasis on short passing routes might get some defenders out of the box and make the running game easier. The problems come when the opponent knows we're going to run and we run anyways.

Output: You can't draw conclusions from data with such low R2. The R2 is telling you that the percentage of the variation you're accounting for with this variable is 2-3%. So of all the wild outcomes that can occur on the basketball court, the 3pt attempts can explain less than 3% of the result. Don't get mislead by the fact that the conclusions line up in a way that you can rationalize - this data isn't conclusive at all.

Output: Exactly. Reductio ad absurdum: QBs have higher PAN than offensive guards, so we should stop recruiting so many linemen. Clearly this is wrong. There is a tradeoff between defending the run and defending the pass. Teams that sell out to stop one open themselves up to the other. I think its reasonable to say that one reason Russel Wilson's numbers look so good is precisely because Wisconsin's running game was so dominant.

Output: The play-by-play breakdown adds depth that isn't available from summary statistics but I think everyone understands that this is a busy recriuting season, and you're looking for a break after football. Maybe you could focus on ufr-ing "interesting" games (like this one), probably games where something either went really well or horribly wrong, on either side of the ball.

Output: Ok, second worst, for our level (3A). I played college baseball at a four year university and my assistant played 13 years of professional baseball (a couple stints in the big leagues). We've lost multiple games by 20 plus runs and it is tough for people to understand. Bottom line, these are kids, and regardless of their ability, they don't deserve to have the score rubbed in their faces, especially by a bunch of insensitive people who have no idea what it's like to be in their position. If you don't like getting beat that bad, work harder." Ya, you're an idiot.

The responses of individuals on this blog are starting to make me feel ok about that fact. It seems like quite a few people (and its not just a select few) are really arrogant punks who seek out the opportunity to belittle people. It really has gotten to the point where I avoid reading threads because it drives me nuts. Go ahead, tell me what I spelled wrong.

Output: I didn't know that my wife and I, both UMF grads, both with grad degrees (she from Purdue, I from UMAA and YTM), were so deficient in soft skills. I guess we had to make up for that absence with our pure ambition- nope, can't have that unless I am UMAA or Ivy pedegree (but apparently not Cornell or Brown.) Some day, when I am lying on me death bed and my mind revisits my life, I will finally comprehend why there was such a huge empty chasm in my soul. I will have to tell my daughter at BGSU that she is destined for mediocracy. Say, if she married someone of ultimate grooming like you would she still be accepted in society?


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 4 days ago [Title] CROB [Body]

Output: I took nearly all my classes at the MMB but I did work-study from the Plant Dept building next to I-475 4x a week as a groundskeeper. I would first walk to the old now non-existent Halos next to CROB before heading to work. If you used to see a guy covered with dirt and grass and drenched with sweat while mowing the grass or shoveling snow it was likely me.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I went to UM-Flint back when [Body]

Output: I went to UM-Flint back when it was still split into two campuses: the science/math building and the CROB campus. I enrolled because my father told me I could go there and he would pay tuition, or go somehwhere else and I would. It was a no-brainer, as I had no money whatsoever. I don't know if I could have enrolled at Ann Arbor, for I had major surgery in my freshman year in HS and my grades suffered. I likely could have transfered into AA after two years at Flint, but I met my future wife there and my path was set, as she is much more important than the prestige of AA. I got my degree and went to UM AA for grad school, and later med school at the UM way down south (YTM.) I do tell people that I graduated from UM-Flint; that is on my CV. I donate money to UM-Flint, not Ann Arbor. I love Ann Arbor, my son is finishing off his Masters there following his BSE last year, and I consider both schools my collegiate home (but not YTM.) I am not ashamed to any extent of my degrees. Are the schools different? Of course, as UM-Flint still has a large commuter and older student population, and a goal of servicing these students in a cost-effective manner. I would bet that the students generally come from poorer backgrounds, often blue-collar, and often working their way through school as I did. The drop out rate is much higher as a result. I found my professors much better teachers at the expense of not having much ability to mentor research. UM AA is a much more research-intense environment, with more higher-level high school applicants, with a lot of classes taught by TAs of varying ability and interest. The best students at Flint are equal with the best at AA, (and I have/do know many extremely smart and talented individuals), but as others have pointed out there are greater number of the best in AA overall. I now live and work in Ohio. For 99.9% of Ohio I am merely the Michigan fan from up north. I consider myself a Michigan grad. They don't care from which campus I got my degree, or even know of the existance of satellite campuses, just like most Michiganders don't know all the OSU campuses. As far as work goes the name on your undergrad parchment does not have a lot of advantage for many, perhaps most, jobs. As soon as you get into college your HS diploma is nearly forgotten, and when you get into grad/professional school your undergrad degree soon loses value, and when you get a job only your effort , drive, and results have long-lasting meaning (unless you are named Jeb). I could not tell you where 95% of my residents did their undergrad, but I know where they finished Med School. Rambling over.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 4 days ago [Title] You have to scramble and try [Body]

Output: You have to scramble and try to find a program in the field you wish to study that did not fill all of it's residency slots. Depending on the specialty you are interested in it may be fairly easy (but you have to be flexible where you are going to live for a number of years, and it may not be the best program) or impossible for the upcoming year (in the very popular specialties.) Occasionally a slot opens up because of unforeseen events and you may be able to wiggle your way into the slot if you are at the right place at the right time; more often you either start training in a less popular field and try to transfer after a year, or do a research year somewhere to burnish your resume' and try again the following year. If you did not get into a less popular field to begin with you likely had a bad academic record, did not interview at enough instititions, are bad at interviewing, or went to school off-shore or a DO school ( and I have had residents fom both, one of whom later became my partner, but the success rate from these schools is lower, particularly is you apply for residencies on the coastlines or heavy academic/research universities.)

Input: [Date] 18 weeks 4 days ago [Title] But how to change it? [Body]

Output: I did the match 25 years ago and fortunately managed to get my first choice. I now sit on a residency committee and interview and rank med student applicants every year. I agree that the match feels arbitrary and can be a very vexing, often expensive, and nerve-racking experience that can result in great highs or utter disappointment. I remember some med school classmates being devistated that they matched a thousand miles away from where they wanted to settle down, or not match into the field they wanted. Now being on the other side of the ranking system my colleagues and I are often amused by the number of interviewing applicants that are clearly using us as practice for later more coveted programs, cancel an hour before the interview session, or tell us how much they want to join our program only for us to find out that the matched in a completely different field of study. The interview system for us also lasts months and takes a lot of our time we could be doing patient-care or teaching. At least the match is supposed to be more slanted to the applicants than the programs' ranking compared to decades ago. I know that not every resident who joins our program had us listed in their top couple choices. We work hard to make their time with us productive, happy, and resulting in successful board accrediation and acreers. I am not at all perturbed that neither of my kids did not choose medicine as a career. Many of my residents have 200-400K in debt after 6 years of post-grad training. I remember being elated that after med school I could finally read a novel instead of a textbook. You really have a have a passion for your area of study, a thick hide, and acceptance of greatly delayed gratification.

Output: My son was on the travel team during his first couple of years at Michigan and had a lot of fun. It also got him into great shape. Watching a dozen teams go at it at ND was really cool. Unfortunately his Areospace Eng. major at up all his time and he had to stop competing. The team survives on a shoestring budget while several other B10 teams give scholarships.


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Title] The Truth about scores [Body]

Output: If you are planning to enter a non-competitive specialty then passing is good enough, especially if you a a US-trained graduate. If you are planning to enter a more competitive field then a great score is necessary. I am an associate residency advisor for a competitive field and interview 40-50 candidates; about 300-350 applications are filtered. What is a great score? 250-255. The score can be lower if you are applying in the Midwest, or smaller community-based programs, or if you have ties with the program. Doing an away rotation helps tremendously, especially if you are active and help with a paper or poster. We elicit resident assessments of the visiting med student to help rank them, and most rotating students will at least get an interview unless they are underwhelming. Once interviewed the scores are mostly tiebreakers, as interviewing well is the most important factor.

Input: [Date] 15 hours 29 min ago [Title] I don't think consciousness [Body]

Output: I don't think consciousness is required for super intelligence - just a very good recursive learning algorithm + processor speed + energy + memory. we already have processor speed exceeding that of biological brains (by 9+ orders of magnitude). We likely already have memory that exceeds bilogical brains (tho not at a pricepoint that makes it likely that we develop HLMI in less than 20 years). I think the learning algorithm is inevitable and likely very soon (10-20 years?) to be written. The key will be energy effeciency - the 20 W the human brain uses is miniscule compared to the Megawatts a machine would require. I was unconvinced that we should worry about this based solely on the consciousness and machine morality arguements, but that article negated both of those for me. The scariest part is not that the machines would likely kill us all (amorally or not), it's that either way it goes ("good" for humans or bad), it will lead to a fundamental change to how life is lived (and defined, really) on this planet. So significant a change that we likely could barely recognise it as life as we know it today. Also, I am now firmly in the camp that alien intelligent life greater than ours does not exist.

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Title] On the other hand, taxonomic [Body]

Output: On the other hand, taxonomic nomenclature has been almost completely revamped as biologists have learned more and more about the diversity of extant and extinct life -- it now seeks to describe the phylogeny of life (patterns of evolutionary descent), rather than simple similarity. Astronomical nomenclature could definitely use a similar update so that it reflects something real. This is true. But that's what they essentially did by reclassifying Pluto- it's not just looks and size, it's about how it evolved to it's current state. The orbit (and a few other things) suggests it did not form like/with the rest of the solar system. Size, volcanic activity and current satellites are similarity classifications. Evidence of formation mechanisms describe Pluto's evolution to it's current state.

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I attended a brief [Body]

Output: I attended a brief presentation from the office of Admissions about a month ago: due to population loss (or relativly low gain) the state isn't providing the best applicant pool. As a result, the %age of OOS student admittance has risen. BTW, they also made it a point to hammer it in that the UofM would NEVER go private. I'm sure that's been a talking point for every talk an admissions officer gives. Seemed almost to belabor the point, IMO. As an ASR living OOS, my communications from the admissions office has indicated that they are not excited to generate more applications unless they are from very compeditive students/schools. Any additional recruitment must be in a very targed manner to attract the best to apply.

Input: [Date] 5 years 29 weeks ago [Body] That bylaw seems fairly vague to me. It states that the committee must award at least 50 percent of the championship field to conferences that meet automatic-qualification criteria and provide a play-in criteria. The remaining 50 percent of the championship field shall be reserved for at-large teams. I don't think that the bolded sections quite mesh. Are they aiming for a true 50/50 split, or are automatic qualifiers more important? On top of that there is already an exception for football, and the phrase "sufficient number of applications" probably has some wiggle room. I took that from 31.3.4.7.1 Team Sports Other Than Men’s Basketball I don't think the bylaws are a hindrance to this playoff proposal, but hopefully somebody that has a better grasp of them can explain it to me.

Input: [Date] 5 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I came on too strong in my original post, but Brian's take on the first Winston assault has been grating on me for a year. He's wrong in treating the first Winston fight like everything is cut and dry, when it’s really a jumbled mess. Claiming that Sturges was innocent is an example of that. Despite what the “witnesses” (fellow hockey players and their friends) have to say, he was involved to some extent. Another thing is the belief that Winston beat on Sturges so badly that he had to be hospitalized (though not mentioned in this post, Brian has mentioned it before, and it does appear to be the prevailing view on this site). Based on Sturges own words, it’s more likely that his severe injuries came from falling to the ground after he was hit. Same legal outcome, but two drastically different events. Michigan State has had 20% of its entire team involved in unprovoked violence against other students for two consecutive years. The 20% number isn’t true for last year’s fight and I think it’s an overestimation for the recent assault as well. And last year’s incident was not an unprovoked act. it seems reasonable to think that light punishment from Dantonio and the school for the first one may well have emboldened the players to do it again the second time Brian also said that the current incident was caused by last year’s incident. I think that’s quite a stretch. If they felt the punishment was light, then why the ski masks? The “light punishment” (multi-game suspension, jail time) didn’t cause the second attack; it just changed where it happened. I’m not saying any of this to justify the actions of Dantonio or anybody on the football team. Winston should have been kicked off the team last year, as should any goons involved in this year’s assault. There should also be jail time. I just think it’s funny that Brian’s attitude on this story seems so similar to the msm attitude that he regularly rails on. And why are people so surprised and pissed that Rosenberg is acting like this? Writers have to get in their licks when they have the chance because winning makes everything else irrelevant. Right now MSU is winning (yeah, 6-6 is winning for that program) and Michigan isn't. It's that simple. Win and it all goes away. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Sorry for not linking that guide and forcing you to look it up. I think that the measurements and spacing requirements only apply to new stadiums, which is nice, but the no benches thing applies to all World Cup stadiums. If all of that is correct, I'm curious as to what the Big House capacity would be with seats instead of bleachers. [Title]

Output: You're Welcome


Input: [Date] 5 years 41 weeks ago [Body] "The wording is vague on whether bleachers are considered actual seats or not." No, it's not. From Fifa's Football Stadiums: Technical recommendations and requirements - 4th Edition: All spectators should be seated. Seats must be individual, affixed to the structure and comfortably shaped, with backrests of a minimum height of 30cm to provide support. To ensure a minimum level of comfort, “tractor-style” seats, with only a tiny flange purporting to represent a backrest, are not acceptable. The provision of backrests also helps to prevent the highly dangerous forward surge of spectators which frequently took place on the old standing terraces whenever a goal was scored and which still happens today in some stadiums where the seats have no backrests. Standing viewing areas and benches of any kind are not acceptable under any circumstances for the FIFA World Cup. There are also specifications on leg room and distance between seats. [Title]

Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I can't believe people are mad about this and think it is dirty for being "deceptive." Other common football things that are deceptive and designed to throw the defense off: Play action Pump fakes Hard counts Fake punts Fake field goals Pretty much any trick play They are all perfectly legal, and if the NFL thought they were too mean, they would eliminate them. New England did something unique that Baltimore wasn't ready for, and that is nobody's fault but Baltimore's. They could have called a timeout, or they could make sure the guys they pay millions to play defense every year can identify eligibility based on formation, especially when there is announcement that someone else is checking in as eligible, which immediately indicates somebody else must not be.

Input: [Date] 31 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I have only taken the class once, and thus only have first-hand experience with the professor who taught the class, but the vibe I've gotten is that your experience will be greatly impacted by who's teaching it. (Same holds for EECS 281 if you decided to take it some day) I checked the class listing, and there appear to be 4 secions taught by either Ringenberg, Fu, and DeOrio. I have absolutely no idea who the second two are, but Ringenberg was my professor for ENGIN 101 and also taught other sections of 280 when I had it. (He may have even co-taught it; don't honestly remember) Ringenberg is a good professor who was generally very helpful when you needed it and also does a nice job with his lecture content, but his voice is a little monotone, so if you tend to get bored in lectures, beware of that. Other than that though, I would recommend him without any hesitation if you can swing scheduling his section. Projects, however, tend to be mostly the same except when they blow them up every one in a while, perhaps due to too much cheating. They are pretty managable though as long as you don't totally blow them off (especially the Sorry project, they give you enough time to not have to do it on Spring Break if you don't want to, but you better have done some of it before then if you want that to happen, as that is the most time consuming of the 5 or 6 there are, or at least where when I took it 4 years ago) Too bad for you Noble isn't teaching it next semester. Noble is one of the very best, and I am extremely happy I was able to take the class with him. [Title]

Input: [Date] 46 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I was okay with the decision to go for it, but I was a,azed at the play call. The clock stops for a change of posession anyway, so if you're going to go for it, you really ought to do a pass play with the option to scramle for it because it offers you a better chance of getting the first down and also burns more time for the play itself in the vent you are not successful. Given that the call was a run right up the middle needing 4 yards in a system not really designed for conservative runs right up the middle, pretty much every other option that didn't involve going for it was better IMHO.

Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] Yale was the last team in last year and won the national championship. If we had beaten ND in the CCHA Final, last year's champion wouldn't have even meade the tournament. Losing to PSU definitely makes me not feel good about our chances, but then slamming Minnesota does again. We're wildely inconsistent this year, but the nice thing about the tournament is you don't need to be consistent, you just have to be on the upside at the right time. That's how we managed to win it all in 1996 and 1998 but NOT win in 1997. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] I go down there and attend something at the convention center around mid to late January every year and I've never had a problem. Especially when you're there for an event at the convention center, most of the people around you aren't from around town anyway and probably aren't OSU crazies. Obviously there is always some risk, but I'd say its pretty low; no more likely to happen than if you drove around any other Big Ten town with Michigan stuff. I think most of the stories that go around come from football games. When I go down there for The Game, I am extra careful, because all the crazies ARE in town at that point and you are going right into the eye of the storm. For that you would want to take every necessary precaution and avoid any unnecessary risk, but for a convention, you'll be fine. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] There was rain, sleet, snow, and hail at some point during the game, and all I had was a windbreaker because it was actually not too bad when I left. Spent halftime in the bathroow huddled around a heater with everyone who didn't leave. There were maybe 20,000 left by the end of the game, and I stayed because the game was close, but of course the team didn't come back, given it was 2008, nor did they have the decency to let Northwestern pull away and let me leave. Oh, and literally the first 4-5 buses at CC Little showed up out of service. There were literally about 100-150 people, maybe even more all desperately trying to huddle under the tiny shelter (this was before the fancy ones there are now) and the numbers kept going up because some idiot decided not to make sure all the buses heading to North Campus weren't taking a break at the same time. The truely awful thing is, I initially forgot my ticket and had to go back for it. My roommate hadn't left because he decided he didn't want to deal with it. Should have taken that as a sign, but hey, at least I can say I'm loyal. (But seriously, they should have given everybody their money back who stayed for the whole thing as a sign of gratitude) [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] It has generally been to my understanding that Yost wasn't as bad with religion as he was with race. The story I've heard is that he hated Notre Dame because their AD stuck his nose into some thing over rereunning a race at a track meet and he got so mad about it he swore to make sure they never got into the Big Ten when he was previously all for it and it was probably going to happen soon thereafter. Everything he said after that was pretty much gaming public opinion at the time to stick it to ND, but he was totally cool with Catholics or Jews on the team. He definitely wasn't a fan of African Americans though, and that has been well documented. [Title]

Output: Yost and Notre Dame


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Body] And that's not being a homer. I've been there twice and both times was shocked at what a dump it is. I expected it to live up to its reputation in stadium rankings and what I got was a cynder block. The whole thing is solid concrete, and what few parts aren't concrete are painted grey to match the concrete. Even the routunda was riddled with cracks and off-color patches to the concrete all around it, while the upper bowl looks like it has gotten zero maintenence since it was first put in. Its cracked, chipping, and ugly. By far the worst stadium I've ever seen. This is out of Michigan Stadium, Spartan Stadium, Ross-Ade, Bryant-Denny (not for a game), and Bronco Stadium (also not for a game, loved the smurf turf though) for reference. Haven't been to enough other venues of different sports or the NFL to make a call on any of those, although I will say I liked the Superdome when I went for the Sugar Bowl, and I thought Progressive Field was pretty nice when I went to the Frozen Diamond against Ohio, in terms of non-Michigan, non-Detroit venues I've been to. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] So if they joined for just one sport, why are we so sure they're going to get into the CIC? I mean, it would be great if we DID allow them in, but what's stopping us from doing that anyway? The CIC still has Chicago in it, and whether JHU joins the conference for lacrosse or not, they certainly aren't affiliated with another major conference in any way, so they could just let them in anyway. While it is practically speaking all the B1G schools, its not like they couldn't make an exception if they wanted to. Also, if the conference is willing to take on an affiliate member for sports only a handful of schools are sponsoring... WHY THE HELL DID IT TAKE SO LONG TO GET A HOCKEY CONFERENCE!? [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Body] I was pretty confident I'd get in, although I was a little insecure about my ACT score and decided to take it again just to be safe. I got accepted two days before my new score was released. Talk about a waste of $50 and a Saturday. Applied to MSU and MTU as backups but frankly never figured it'd be a problem anyway. I guess I thought of MSU as the backup, but in reality I likely would have gone to Tech in that case. Also, thanks to the internet, I knew before I got the letter I had gotten in. IIRC, they milked that pretty hard though. They just e-mailed me saying they had decided, then made you go to the website, go to a page, and then click on "View Decision" to find out... Also, totally jealous of your age. You were here at a rediculously good time on the athletics side of things. Hockey team coming off a national title coming in, and them and football getting one a piece while you were in school.

If he shifted at all and hit Morgan more to the side, that's a block or a no-call I think, but the way he proceeded to knowngly crash right into the middle of his chest I think sealed his fate.

Output: Allegidly


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] This season was definitely a failure for which the team deserves criticism for. True enough, the streak was never going to last forever, but we've had less talent than we did this year and won the conference; these guys just couldn't learn to play like a team until they dug themselves into a hole just a little too deep to get out of. Injuries didn't help, but they still should have been good enough to at least be more competitive than they were. BUT, there is a difference between being critical of the team and being a fairweather whiner. Completely ceasing all hockey coverage falls into the latter. That isn't legitimate criticism, it's completely turning your back on the team because they aren't living up to their collective draft statuses, and I think it is unbecoming of the largest Michigan sports blog, and particularly one that regularly covers hockey. The fact Brian came out and said he wasn't covering hockey because he was mad at how they were doing is even sadder. I can understand being less motivated to keep up given the cisrumstances, but just admitting you're rage quitting and mad you bought season tickets is pathetic. [Title]

Output: This season was definitely a


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] But there's getting a break or two to fall your way and then there's the crap ND and OSU have gotten away with this year. Ohio I don't know got an excessive about of luck; only the MSU fumble really stands out to me. ND, however, has gotten every break and every call. They barely beat a terrible Purdue team, they only beat us by a TD even though we gave them 6 turnovers, they needed two gifts from the officials to beat Stanford and Pitt, and they managed to get USC one week after their starting quarterback went down with a shoulder injury. That is more than luck, that is backing into a title game, but I guess that's okay because you need a lot more than luck to beat Alabama. [Title]

Output: True


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] That would be excellent. Do you have any more specific instruction to that site though? I'm looking at a map right now and I'm not seeing anything on sattelite that looks like what you're talking about near there. Searching for the location only yields two results that are on the other side of town. EDIT: Think I found it. http://www.columbus.k12.oh.us/specialolympics/ Google Maps search gave me the state-wide HQ which is across town. A general search turned up that, which is right where you mentioned and a VERY good parking location for $10. Very much appreciate the advice. Given your word on the people running it and the fact it is off to the side enough to be out of the way of passer-bys on the way to the stadium, that looks to be perfect and I will definitely go there. Thanks! [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Body] Notre Dame fans are unbareable enough when they aren't winning national championships and trash talk like they do. If they actually DO get another one then it is going to be that much worse and I don't want to deal with that. Also, this year in paticular, because I feel they are grossly overrated. Yes, I know, it is difficult to say that about a team that is undefeated, but they've had more than a championship team's worth of lucky breaks this year. It took a 2-minute drive to beat Purdue, a team we now know to be exceptionally bad. We dominated their offense and lost because Denard had the worst game of his career, and we frankly moved the ball at will when we weren't turning it over. They beat Stanford on an absolutely bogus goal line call. They beat Pitt because they were not flagged for having two guys with the same number on the field. They did, to their credit, beat Oklahoma. That game was not a fluke, they showed up ready to play and they beat them. That, however, is the only quality opponent they've beaten this year without help from the other team beating themselves or help from the officials. They are a good team, good enough for 9 or 10 wins, but they have gotten quite a few breaks to be able to call themselves undefeated and I doubt that is going to cut it if/when they play in the NCG. To be clear, too, there are a lot of title teams that survive a game on a lucky break. I'm not saying that should preclude you from being deserving of a title, merely that ND has had more than one, and a couple of them have been poor officiating (although not as bad as Colorodo's 5th down; that one deserves an asterisk next to their title).

Input: [Date] 26 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] Sure he does [Body]

Output: What's the worst they could do? Suspension? That's just a fine with a day off.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] Well he gave him the option [Body]

Output: Well he gave him the option of quitting so that seems like the exact opposite of slave master.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 7 hours ago [Title] He has a third option. Get [Body]

Output: He has a third option. Get fined. That 100k was more important to him.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 7 hours ago [Title] Well there's already 53 posts [Body]

Output: Well there's already 53 posts on this message board having little to with the a NFL. Sports center just spent a little more time on the NFL. If no NFL player ever did an interview or a pc the league wouldn't be what is today. What would be ridiculous is if the NFL didn't enforce it's rules. No one ever learned anything about football from a Super Bowl media day anyways, that's not the point.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 7 hours ago [Title] That's part of his job this [Body]

Output: That's part of his job this week, he gets handsomely reward for it. If you don't want media attention go bag groceries at Kroger or anything else really. NFL wants him to promote the league and in his own socially inept way he is. If the NFL just let guys out of it without fines then no one would ever show up. All this media frenzy helps promote what will be one of the highest rated programs in television history.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 2 days ago [Title] One of the downsides of [Body]

Output: One of the downsides of wrapping up recruiting before the kids play their senior season is not seeing that development. A lot of kids make a leap or finally get playing time. As someone mentioned Jake Ryan is a good example of a post senior season sleeper, Desmond Morgan, Frank Clark, Omameh among others who weren't getting offers at Michigan until their senior tape came out. There is also a lag in stars because of this. Don't worry though a Michigan commit gets bumped to 3 star almost automatically.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Hoke was able to nab 3 Rivals [Body]

Output: Hoke was able to nab 3 Rivals 4 stars (Bryant, Taylor and Chris Barnett) in less time. These were borderline 3/4 type kids. Rodriguez got 5 solid 4 stars with a couple more weeks and more scholarships. I'd be surprised if Harbaugh didn't land at least two solid 4 stars.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I less under the impression [Body]

Output: I less under the impression you could be on the team with an academic scholarship, however as soon as you play it counts towards the 85. I seem to remember this coming up with Alabama's Bear Bryant scholarships for his players children that often gave them some wiggle room.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 2 days ago [Title] The only thing interesting to [Body]

Output: The only thing interesting to me in all this Twitter banter from outside sources is the RT by Chris Clark about Weber coming back to Michigan. Might say more about him than Weber.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Poor grammar, no source? [Body]

Output: Poor grammar, no source? http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/288936321.html Madison – Sam Madden, a touted offensive lineman from Barnegat, N.J., who gave Wisconsin an oral commitment in June and recently told the Journal Sentinel he was excited about working with head coach Paul Chryst and offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Joe Rudolph, no longer is a member of UW's 2015 class. Madden announced via Twitter Saturday he had de-committed from UW. He initially committed to UW when Gary Andersen was head coach. However, a source with knowledge of the recruiting process noted it appeared Madden likely wouldn’t be able to pass UW’s admission standards.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Not to be a wet blanket but [Body]

Output: Not to be a wet blanket but according to a Milwaukee paper the decommit is because he can't pass UW admissions. Could just be sour grapes and bad info but if true I doubt he get by UM admissions.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 4 days ago [Title] They tried to run plenty of [Body]

Output: They tried to run plenty of power while Denard was here, it's a handoff, the offensive line could never execute it with any consistently. A lot of that is coaching, Hoke wanted to run power here, then hired a West Coast OC and IZ Oline coach to go with his Read/Option personnel.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I wonder if it means anything [Body]

Output: I wonder if it means anything that he was introduced as secondary coach and not as corner or safety coach as recently rumored with Zordich coming aboard. I assume that Zordich does LB's in some capacity.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 1 day ago [Title] If the Lions had a coach take [Body]

Output: If the Lions had a coach take a team to the Super Bowl with Rex Grossman, he'd be a god, probably have a statue in front of Ford Field.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Really? Mattison, Fisch, [Body]

Output: Really? Mattison, Fisch, Baxter Wheatley and maybe Manning have never worked with Harbaugh, Durkin has for a few years but not since 2009, Jackson is relatively new to Harbaugh. Drevno is really the only long-time Harbaugh guy and even he left. Go back and compare that to RR whose only new guys were Fred Jackson and Shafer when they whiffed on Casteel and Hoke I think of only guy he hadn't worked with was Montgomery for the position he and Mattison coached it's not similar at all. I am not saying he's just hiring new guys but Harbaugh seems to want guys that want more, Carr,Hoke and Rodriguez seem to appreciate continuity more.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Our previous three coaches [Body]

Output: Our previous three coaches built staffs that they trusted and worked well with, there was very little turnover and loyalty was very high. Jim has built a staff of what seems like much more ambitious coaches. And a suspect the turnover will be quicker with Harbaugh coaches. There's also a nice mix of coaching experiences there, young and old and guys that have worked extensively with Harbaugh and fresh blood.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 44 min ago [Title] Re: Wheatley [Body]

Output: Per Sam NSFMF


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Would be better if it was the [Body]

Output: Would be better if it was the other way around and he followed Bunting and Clark followed him. Marrow feels like a big deal mostly because of how bad 'BBN' wants him.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I have a hard time believing [Body]

Output: I have a hard time believing QB can be much worse than last year. After that schedule projects to be 1.5 wins easier, imo. Hoke to Harbaugh has to be worth at least another 1.5 wins. Anything less than 8 wins would be pretty disappointing.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I'd feel more confidence if [Body]

Output: I'd feel more confidence if Sam was saying 98%, not his source.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 2 days ago [Title] You'd figure they'd have the [Body]

Output: You'd figure they'd have the inside track with Ty Wheatley Jr. If Ty Sr. is a coach. Even if dad stays in NFL Ty would figure to be a good bet to be in this class.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Fwiw [Body]

Output: A couple Raiders beat/blogger types still seem fairly certain this thing is not over and the Raiders have a good shot. This would seem to be coming from within the Raiders org., so it would seem they feel this way because of contact from the agent. It would fit with the info from this post. That said it seems like this agent is the source for much of the NFL pessimism from the beginning. Either he is really anti him going back to UM (Brian mentioned he may be losing JH as a client if he goes to college) or JH really wants to hear the offers before coming.
