Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] I get the anger but [Body]

Output: I get the anger I really do. It has been maddening to watch this offense implode and become a laughing stock incapable of winning a game that is practically handed to them (Iowa, Penn State) or get manhanled and not respond (MSU, Nebraska). The defense has played their hearts out even as they eventually give up the game late. But this nuke the coaches from orbit and start over mindset is more madness. Continuity in coaching and players is critical in football. An offense has to become second nature, players have to gel, repition breeds success, etc. i am not syaing Borges is the answer on offense or I would be upset if we brought in someone new but we can't clean house. Just a few plays and a few games can change a seson very easily. Especially when you are talking sophmores in college. This year we just haven't found a way to make those plays. Missed field goals against Penn State ruined a nice second half. Today a number of dropped passes killed drives and momentum (Funchess in particular). Things just are not clicking. Everybody is talking about how Michigan State is in better shape than we are but have you forgotten last year? They lost a bunch of close games. Andin 2009 they lost 7 games. They have built a tought defense and found their offense. They used to have a reputation of not being able to win close games but this year they have been solid. Yes, the offense looks lost but an inability to block, a lack of identity and critical dropped passes will do that to you. There is no silver bullet that will magically make this team a contender. It will take time and development. Firing Hoke and starting over would be a disaster. We need to make some changes but wholesale change because the season went south is not the answer.


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] "you'll all likely be angry at several points on Saturday" [Body]

Output: Um, yeah, bit of an understatement, no? Given past performance, etc. Perhaps it is ridiculous optimism but it has felt like Michigan is often just a few plays short of getting on track but just can't seem to make those plays. A dropped pass, a bad read of inaccurate pass, a missed assignment, not holding a block for half a minute longer, all these things keep the team from getting first downs or splash plays and destroys an rhythm. I wonder if the win last week and the success in OT could carry over and we could see some actually real live offense. Another ugly performance heading into The Game would be so depressing.


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] Thanks, useful [Body]

Output: I was looking for something along these lines. Less Argh, Borges an idiot and more here is something we could do that is not a huge change but would work marginally better and that could add up to an offense that moves the ball more consistently. I agree that this spread them out more as a way to back off the pressure could work. I remember when on one of the Steelers Super Bowl runs they couldn't run the ball until they had success with passing early on. Against both the Colts and Broncos they came out passing more agressively against stacked fronts and then were able to go to more ball control offense with a lead and the defense backed off. The Steelers have never had a great offensive line but try to find ways to make it work and hope the line can gel at some point. Obviously, Gardner isn't neccesarily Ben Roethlisberger but since I am a fan of both teams the similarities struck me.

Output: That's a clown question, bro ... [but I will admit it has crossed my mind a time or two ...]


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] What can we do in the short term to win games? [Body]

Output: This is really what I would like to see from the X and O folks (not me). What tyype of plays do you think would work and how can Hoke/Borges keep making progress on the offense they want to run while still winning games. My gut sense is that Brian and Space are both right to some degree. This is an execution and preparation problem but it is also play calling stubborness that is costing Michigan games this year. The eyeball test tells you that these runs have no chance of success. They are just running into bodies behind the line. So with a o-line that can't block and has serious confidence issues, a QB that has been abused for weeks, how can we move the football. Is it West Coast style quick hitting dink and dunk with some constraint plays that offer the opportunity for chunk gains? Is it some spread elements? A hurry up pass heavy style that gets the defense off rythym? If this has been posted elsewhere I would love to see it.


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] Very useful [Body]

Output: if incredibly depressing post. It is hard to acknowledge that we are still digging out of a hole. Would love to see an x and O breakdown of the kind of offense we should be running give our current players.


Input: [Date] 1 year 37 weeks ago [Title] losing confidence [Body]

Output: I am not sure how you can have confidence in anyone at this point. It is one thing to get beat it is another to look absolutely clueless and lost at home for a critical conference game. I have not been on the fire Borges train but that game was attrocious. Key turnover and two runs for lost yards? That is just like giving up. And they just kept doing it over and over. Madness. Yes, the oline is a dumpster fire but a creative coach has to find a way to use the talent he has effectively. It is not like Nebraska is Alabama. As Ace notes, one drive of creativity and then hang on and hope not to lose? How can you possibly pick this team to win any of the game left? And then what? I am wondering just where the bottoum is at this point.


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Surprisingly less angry about this game [Body]

Output: I am not a big basketball fan. I grew up watch Michigan football and that is the strongest conenctionf for me. I didn't live in AA nor did any of my family go to UM. It was just a cultural aspect I picked up before I even realized it. I watch Michigan football and hated Ohio State. By a weird twist of fate I ended up living and working in Columbus, Ohio. I have now stocked and nursed my hatred of OSU into a fine sharp point. And with all of the ups and downs of football have developed a somewhat tragic sense of life when it comes to sports. And so I was afraid to start carrying about Mcihigan basketball again (I got caught up in the Fab Five frensy while in college and paid the psychic cost when that all unraveled). I followed the teams (mostly through this blog) and the last couple of years slowly began to increase my interest. Last year, I started to actually watch the games. This year I got sucked in. I started watching the games from the start and found myselfing reallying caring about the team again. As I watched heartbreaking losses to Ohio State, Indiana, Wisconsin, etc. I thought "what have I gotten myself into?" It isn't like I need more sports heartbreak, right? But I wasn't going to be one of those fans who abandones the team once they struggle and so I kept watching. And man did the tournament pay off that committment. It felt so good to see everything come together and see the players not only make big plays but seem to really have fun and play as a team. It felt like they were able to shake off the demons and bad bounces of earlier in the year and just play at a higher level. The first half last night felt like that trajectory would continue. But then Hancock began to rain down threes and my gut began to clench and suddenly it was more like a heavyweight fight - less joy, more determination. And in the end Michigan just didn't quite have enough to get past an incredibly determined and focused Louisville team. In the end I felt not anger but frustration a sense that those players were so close to an incredible opportunity only to fall just short. I wished all that joy could have continued in one last improbable victory. As Brian notes, I wished somehow I could reduce the misery they felt. And of course, lving in Columbus I had to deal with the jerks on FB and Twitter and everywhere else savoring the loss and the misery. But as my duaghter (age 8) said to me this morning as we were discussing it in the car, Michigan is clearly a program to be reckoned with again. And I think that takes a little of the sting of the loss away somehow. Michigan feels back somehow. Maybe I am a bandwagon fan compared to all of you longtime fans but it feels good to committ to a team and feel good about where they are and where they are headed.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Thanks for the insight into your world [Body]

Output: Having been involved in blogging, both personally and professionally, I know how hard it can be even when you love your subject. Your unique health situation adds another wrinkle. I appreciate what you do and the passion you bring to it. Thanks for bringing the joys, and disappontments, of this season to me through your writing. Best of luck finding the right balance moving forward.


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] This thread reminds me of this [Body]


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Two plays inflated offense in first half [Body]

Output: Take away the big Roundtree and Robinson plays and Michigan has like 137 yards in first half. I think it is a little over-the-top to just blame Borges for loss because of poor play calling in the second half. Yes, I think running up the middle was foolish and I wish there was more creative use of Denard and Devin. But the difference to me was turnovers and Carlos Hyde. Hyde allowed Ohio State to grind out yards. Michigan had no answer. Michigan had the opportunity to win and didn't make the plays when they needed to. The only difference between this game and Northwestern is a miracle throw.


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Thanks [Body]

Output: Sorry to have missed it. I am not an alum so probably why I didn't hear about it.


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Was Bacon in Columbus for a book signing? [Body]

Output: If so, that sucks that I missed him. Ironically, I talked with Michael Rosenberg when his book came out.


Input: [Date] 4 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Agree about long term trends [Body]

Output: It would be more interesting to see how Michigan compares across a longer period of time. Was there quanatative decline at the end of Carr with 2008 being destruction and now clear rebuilding back to the average UM #s and beyond? Be interesting to see what the typical range for the team has been the last ten years. Easy to request others do more work ...


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Behind Enemy Lines in Columbus [Body]

Output: I live in Columbus and it gets old after a while. Most people are not real jerks about it but the overall assumption is that everyone is a Buckeye fan; plus you get lots of dirty looks when Michigan is doing well and lots of jokes when they are down (I have lived here during both Cooper and Sweater Vest). You really can't get away from it as it is on TV, radio, stores, work, even at church the pastor will mention the game (Chris Spielman and John Copper both attend my church). I will forget I have on my UM hat and when the guy at the drive-thru says he won't serve me with that hat on and starts laughing it often takes me a moment to figure it out. My mom came to visit close to The Game one year, however, and people were giving her crap all over town so she changed. I told her you can't let them win but she didn't think it was worth the hassle. Of course, my wife's family all went to Michigan State so I have to take crap from them now too ...

Output: What about Cliff Stoudt?


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I don't understand the complaint [Body]

Output: Having Michigan fans write and debate what happened and what they think it means is too much? If this is to be a true community where fans interact - in addition to reading Brian's unique perspective - then people will have to deal with comments, diaries, and board posts. I don't think it has descended into site destroying chaos and anger today.


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] huh? [Body]

Output: If tl;dr means "too long didn't read" then how exactly do you know it isn't diary worthy? Do you get extra points for using internet slang even if it is nonsensical? Sorry it wasn't up to your obviously high standards ...


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Also keep in mind [Body]

Output: that Ohio State was trying not lose from the start (once we gave them a TD and missed a FG). I am not saying the D didn't play better because they did. But if OSU has to win that game - rather than watching us lose it - I think things would have been different. Maybe we win, maybe we don't, but it wouldn't have been the same game.


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Here is hoping [Body]

Output: I am shouting for joy instead of spending the weekend explaining to my kids why it is wrong to say bad words and why they shouldn't be repeating them all day (like happened for Purdue and when the Bengals swept the Steelers last Sunday). A win tomorrow would make my year (yes, it has been one of those years for me). Winning and losing can be a close thing. If everything comes together Saturday who knows what can happen.


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Tragic indeed [Body]

Output: I bear the burden of being a Michigan fan in Columbus. The Spielmans go to my church and I listen to him on the radio frequently so it feels like a death in the family somehow. Chris is a class guy and Stephanie always brightened whatever room she entered. Definitely praying for the family during what must be a very difficult time.


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Title] I am actually rather calm for once [Body]

Output: Weird how expectations play out. Despite the desperate need to win one more game, I just felt like Wisconsin was the better team today. For, I guess, obvious reasons Illinois and Purdue felt very different.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] A little late [Body]

Output: I think a whole lot of people already panicked. Luckily by the time I signed in things began to return to normal.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Obligatory nice post, Brian comment [Body]

Output: Although, I have never wanted RichRod fired or any other major overhaul, I admit I felt some panic. I appreciate Brian laying out nicely in one post why patience is needed and why he thinks next year will see improvement. I would still like to see a spark in the next two games that indicates this team won't always panic or over-react to things. As has been said by practically everyone, beating Ohio State would really make the pain tolerable.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Exactly [Body]

Output: This was my point (probably poorly made). The sense that the team was not improving but still in that find a way to lose mentality was what bothered me.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] For the record [Body]

Output: 1) I will cheer for this team and watch every game no matter how ugly it gets. I saw the once dominant Pittsburgh Steelers struggle for years before winning a Super Bowl, I will be a Michigan fan no matter how bad it gets or for how long. 2) I have repeatedly said I don't want the coach fired nor do I think that is the answer. 3) What I wanted to know is whether the folks who continually told us not to panic feel like panicking yet. To me this team feels much closer to last years team in terms of poise and finding ways to lose - despite the better offense - than I would have hoped. And it doesn't seem obvious to me that we will make huge strides next year.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Fair enough [Body]

Output: I would submit that phrasing it as a question is less than a flat out statement that we can't win those games, but that's semantics. So that's my mistake. I didn't mean to say that winning was impossible just that it is hard to look at our play the last five games and see us winning.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] I would like to think I have a tiny shred of patience [Body]

Output: I have watched every single game this year. But here is the rub: "things should hopefully be better next year." I hope so too. But hoping is a thin read these days. If I knew, or had solid reasons to be confident, that the defense wasn't going to be the same or worse and that the O-line would improve I would feel better. But I don't have any reason to do so. Yes, I think the skill players on offense will be better after a year of playing but I fear this means we will just lose high scoring games.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Not what is possible but what is probable [Body]

Output: I never said we have no chance whatsoever against UW or OSU. I asked if anyone felt confident stating that we could beat them. Has there been any indication in the last six weeks that this team has the poise and confidence to do it? I don't see it. Yes, we could play our best games of the season and beat those two teams. But the defense gives up points at an alarming rate and the offense, despite scoring points, seems to have miscues when the game is on the line. As someone else said, I think we have a better chance beating OSU because Pryor seems to go ice cold at times. But that Ohio State defense could also give our offense a great deal of trouble. I guess we will just have to wait and see.


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Title] I think the basic idea is good [Body]

Output: If you have intelligent football criticisms or complaints, fine. But name calling and venting doesn't help and vulgarity and stupidity just reflect poorly on the person making the comments. If you aren't upset by this loss you are not a football fan. Saying this team is about where we thought they would be is not that helpful right now. They just got absolutely shellacked by a heretofor very bad football team. But fans want to know what is wrong and how it is going to get better. That is what I want to know. And I think the continuity is critical. Constantly changing coaches is a recipe for disaster.


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Kids and swearing [Body]

Output: I wasn't so lucky. I yelled dammit and my 2 year old son has been saying it all night.


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Title] I'll take it [Body]

Output: 28-17 sounds good to me. Of course, I would love a real beatdown of a very bad team. A game where there are no turnovers, dumb drive killing penalties or blown coverages that lead to untouched TE waltzing into the endzone. I know the defense is what it is and there are a lot of freshman involved, but I can dream right? It would be nice to see the team gain some confidence and show that they won't play down in these kind of games. Strong games against Illinois and Purdue would help the confidence level heading to Madison.


Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Well, looking on the bright side [Body]

Output: Wait, what's the bright side again? What kind of time frame is reasonable at the college level to turn around this lack of talent/depth? Is the expectation for next year to suck but not quite as bad and then the year after have a chance at a functioning secondary? I don't follow recruiting closely do don't have a strong sense, particularly on the D side, how quickly recruits can turn things around.


Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Title] What I would like to see [Body]

Output: Is less "They are what we thought they were." And more here is why I think we can still beat IL, Purdue, WI, OSU, etc. Or why we seemed to compete with Iowa at Iowa despite five turnovers and yet get blown out by Penn State at home. What was the difference and what does it mean for teams like WI and OSU? I understand that there are lot of folks going with the OMG!!! type reaction but can we move on to a better understanding of where this team is? I fully expect Brian to provide this in the coming days. I too have a gut feeling that Forcier is getting a lot of blame for poor blocking and dropped passes - not getting first downs kills the momentum and rhythm - but is his injury serious or not? I look forward to the UFRs.


Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Title] depends on what you mean by rational [Body]

Output: We are not talking science for the most part but differing definitions of what is reasonable, etc. Heck, most of the time it is hard to agree on basic facts. Given this, however, I think there is always a huge chunk of fandom who are more emotionally attached and engaged in cheering their team than they are rationally or logically setting expectations and reacting to wins and losses. I also think there has been a lot of polarized arguments here in reaction to Saturday's game. A lot of people upset not so much that Michigan lost but that it was so ugly. A lot of people pushing back against over-reaction by saying that Michigan is exactly where any rational person thought they were going to be - better but still not all that good. I am in between those two poles. I don't think the program is in trouble or that RR is an idiot but I also think the game was a step back and a troubling potential indicator in the short term. If Michigan smacks Illinois around then I will chalk up Saturday to a bad day and feel better about a bowl game. If we struggle against Illinois or lose then I will be forced to wonder about another losing season and what that means for the future. You can be rational and still disagree about what constitutes progress and what are reasonable expectations.


Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Yes and no [Body]

Output: As others have noted, you don't have to be a fair weather fan to feel that this game caught you by surprise and lowered your expectations. If you are worried that the team doesn't have the talent to compete with the top tier of the league and are worried it won't be there next year that doesn't make you a fair weather fan. Yes the emotions go up and down but if this game doesn't make you at least worry about a late season slump you are a bigger man than me.


Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Title] I share the entiment but wonder [Body]

Output: just how far the analogy goes. I was all set to post something very similar here but it appears I have lurked for too long without leaving comments or posting a blog - my blog posting privileges have been revoked. But I linked to this post from my blog (http://www.kevinholtsberry.com/kh/2009/10/24/michigan-football-flunks-it...). I guess I learned the wrong things from the two Iowa games (PSU and ours): that we were a good team who just had to stop turning the ball over and that PSU wasn't that good on offense. I will believe we are a mid-level B10 team when we beat up Purdue and Illinois but not until that happens. - I don't see how RR can keep putting Robinson in if he is going to turn it over with such regularity. - I wonder why we can't seem to keep our best option at QB healthy. Do we need to recruit bigger players at QB as well? - Does anyone have an explanation for the play of Warren? When your best player in the secondary plays like that: Doom!


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Title] What a great feeling [Body]

Output: It has been a long year for me professionally and I was in the precarious position of looking to UM football for encouragement. Well, the team has delivered! My mom called knowing how happy I would be after the big win. What a feeling to know you have a QB who can make the plays when the game is on the line. To watch him win like that was sweet.


Input: [Date] 6 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Thanks [Body]

Output: People are of course free to disagree with Rosenberg, but I think the book is a great read. I also wish people were better able to disagree intelligently. But emotions are understandably running high.


Input: [Date] 6 years 38 weeks ago [Title] This is a chance to prove [Body]

Output: Michigan can actually beat a bad team. If the team can't find a way not to make stupid turnovers or give up big plays against a highly mediocre Purdue team then we know they are simply incapable of doing so. If they can play competent football for four quarters they win, IMO. But I wonder if UM is capable of playing four decent quarters in one game - not great, just decent. I know, the data seems to indicate this question has already been answered, but I am an optimist for one more week.


Input: [Date] 6 years 38 weeks ago [Title] If not for Toledo [Body]

Output: I could be optimistic. But I just can't see how a team who couldn't find a way to beat Toledo is likely to beat anyone. Two or three wins wouldn't shock me but neither would losing them all.


Input: [Date] 6 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Rosenberg [Body]

Output: Heh. Well, I didn't pay for the book so that isn't an issue for me. I chatted briefly with Rosenberg about the RR issue at a book talk and he seems dead set on thinking that RR messed up at the start (lawsuit, letting players leave, etc.). He thinks RR will be a successful coach but that he got off to a bad start and could have handled this season better. I know many around here disagree vehemently about some of those issues. I think the book is very different than his column. It is much more focused on telling a story and not taking sides. A column is about taking a strong position with few words. I really do think anyone who has an interest in this rivalry would enjoy the book.


Input: [Date] 6 years 40 weeks ago [Title] I agree [Body]

Output: I think Rosenberg, and many others, simple can't accept the fact that something had to change and it wasn't going to be pretty at first. They insist that Michigan could have hired Miles (and kept all those players, etc.) and the program could just keep on humming along; maybe not great but not this bad. They are in denial about what was likely to happen no matter who coached the team. Sometimes it takes an ugly season to regroup and jump start a program or team. I am willing to deal with this because I have faith the the program is going to be better in the long run. The aim is not mediocrity but greatness and sometimes that risk means an ugly season.

Input: [Date] 1 week 13 hours ago [Title] I've had a couple of classes [Body]

Output: I've had a couple of classes with the guy, and I can say he's 100% the kind of guy you want to root for. Really kind, polite, smart, and responsible. Makes an effort to introduce himself to everyone and contribute in class, and takes things more seriously than most non-athletes I've seen. And not in a "good by athlete standards" way either, he would have no problem being a top student without the scholarship. Anyway figured I would share since a lot of times what you see of these guys on TV isn't really how they act in person. Jehu's a great dude.

Output: Always thought he was immensely talented as a returner, even though our awful special teams never let him truly show it. He'll light it up in D2 and I wouldn't be surprised to still see him try out for an NFL team when he graduates. Best of luck to the guy


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I'm really into role playing [Body]

Output: I'm really into role playing games, and I spend a lot of time playing and prepping games, which includes a lot of creative writing. I was raised on D&D but recently have gotten really into Star Wars: Edge of the Empire. I'd be curious to know if there's anyone else into RPGs on this board, you would think not but you never know. Other than that I work out a lot, and alternate between being into different activities like running, boxing, etc. Those figures look great, by the way. That's another hobby I want to pick up, once I have the money.

Input: [Date] 12 weeks 51 min ago [Title] Everybody saying he couldn't [Body]

Output: Everybody saying he couldn't have contributed on returns because of his poor stats in the past don't understand just how bad our blocking has been on returns the past few years. Kid was elusive as hell, and with better blocking (read: any blocking) I think his stats would be a whole lot different. That all seems to be a moot point if he was dismissed, though.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] Good lord. Have the refs [Body]

Output: Good lord. Have the refs supply the game balls if it's that big of a fucking deal. Not that that will happen of course, because the NFL doesn't care about the actual rules as much as they do pandering to public opinion. Good grief...

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 6 days ago [Title] One big difference to my [Body]

Output: One big difference to my understanding: In rugby, you can give up an extra yard or two without any major consequences. As such, players are much less likely to go for the head-first "big hit" that stops the ballcarrier in his tracks. In football, an extra yard or two can make all the difference, and players are taught to tackle as such. Not to mention that rugby has its own major concussion issue going on right now. I wouldn't exactly look to that sport to model after.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Good lord. I cannot for the [Body]

Output: Good lord. I cannot for the life of me understand why people are so emotionally invested in talking politics on a sports blog. I agree that that post shouldn't have been locked - it should have been deleted. Yeah Harbaugh was tangentially involved in the whole thing - that doesn't make it an appropriate subject for a sports blog. If Harbaugh told people to go out and vote, should we have some huge discussion on the relative merits of the presidential candidates? Hell, this is a UofM sports blog, and UofM is a public university (i.e. part of the state of Michigan), maybe we should have a "Thoughts on Governer Snyder" post stickied on the MGoBoard? The first post about his tweet was toeing the line as is. This past post pretty clearly past it in my opinion. The No Politics rule is a damn good one, as evidenced by what happens in every single goddamn political post on this blog. If you want to talk politics, you can very easily go elsewhere to do so.

Output: It's an amazing album. GKMC was, for me at least, one of the all-time greats, and I wouldn't quite say the same thing about Butterfly (yet anyway). But it's still amazing. "u" had me in tears. Hearing Pac on the outro made my jaw drop. I'm just gonna repost my reddit comment on the subject: It really is an immensely dense album. Unlike GKMC it doesn't really have one unifying theme, but many - black culture, self esteem, the "pimping" of rap artists and black culture generally by America.... If I had one bone to pick it would be that the meaning is so convoluted at times that it doesn't always land as well as I feel it should. There are some songs like u (Kendrick's best in my opinion) and Blacker the Berry that are just so raw and emotional, they're incredible. But there are others on the album that left me somewhat underwhelmed, if only because they were so difficult to decipher. This isn't necessarily a bad thing - having more to digest can be good too - but it does detract from the overall feel at times and for me it's the difference between a 9/10 and a 10/10.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 5 days ago [Title] If that album made you feel [Body]

Output: If that album made you feel on top of the world you weren't listening very closely. No offense.... Outside of "i" the bulk of the album is depressing or at the very least darkly political.


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] I like to think I had a big [Body]

Output: I like to think I had a big role in that one :D


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Much as I really want to say [Body]

Output: Much as I really want to say "go for it, have fun"... if it were me, I would definitely feel out of place. The student section is full of rowdy 18-22 year olds, and as a student myself I can't say I see many adults there. If you can just own it and have fun in that sort of environment then absolutely go for it, but if you have hangups about standing all game and getting some weird looks from drunk students, those are probably legitimate hangups. Just my $.02


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 5 days ago [Title] 3:05 was nice too. He looked [Body]

Output: 3:05 was nice too. He looked good in this video, it's nice to see that he still has that great arm he came in with, despite how bad he looked the past two years. I still think his biggest challenges are going to be decision making and consistency in his throws, which we obviously can't glean from a video like this. Still, he looked good.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 16 hours ago [Title] Kicked off isn't the same as [Body]

Output: Kicked off isn't the same as having their charter pulled, which is done by their national fraternity and not UM. To answer your question though, they have not gotten back on campus yet (though they tried and failed this year).


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Sure, if Calvin Johnson was [Body]

Output: Sure, if Calvin Johnson was a great but not game-changing WR and Reggie Wayne was a 24 year old all star...

Output: Fair enough and like I said I agree with all of you. Just figured I'd share since it's relevant.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I heard from a sorority [Body]

Output: I heard from a sorority member affected that they did basically the same amount of damage last year that they did this year but were never kicked out or reprimanded, and the going theory is that Treetops only invited them back so that they could kick them out and sue them later. I'm 100% of the belief that this was ridiculously immature behavior and those involved deserve whatever punishment they have coming... but I do believe at this point that Treetops (which is going through a bankruptcy) is just trying to make a buck off of them.

Output: I had both. What I liked the best was the hard ass head coach and the more laid back assistants. Best of both worlds. Obviously you don't want someone who won't help you improve regardless which style you like.

Output: It's a win/win for both sides. If after his treatment there is a chance he can play football again just having the opportunity to play could be the driving force for the guy to do everything he can to rehab as quick and as effectively as possible. He now has a goal and is setup for success.

Input: [Date] 50 weeks 4 days ago [Title] You're kidding right? And [Body]

Output: You're kidding right? And yeah I am aware I've been in the locker room with plenty of gay guys.. I have gay friends.. How is it any different than men and woman showering and changing together? You don't think most women wouldn't be comfortable with guys there when they are changing or showering? That's a valid question. It's more or less the same thing. You even bring up being raped is absurd.


Input: [Date] 50 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I have a legitimate [Body]

Output: I have a legitimate question... Does he still change and shower with the team? They don't let straight woman shower and change with the male athletes and vice versa. I've often wondered about that after each one of these announcements...

Output: She's actually pretty amazing on the field. Having had quite a few chances to watch her play in person and she's just one of those athletes that are both physically and skillfully gifted. If you haven't had the chance to see this softball team play, catch a few games when you can.

Output: I'm in agree if when people are legitimately resisting but there have been many a situation where the person being detained had not resisted and in many cases simply questioning the situation. Obviously in this case it's different but many times police will just charge you with whatever they can to see what will stick in court.


Input: [Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Title] There were so many rumors of [Body]

Output: There were so many rumors of issues last year that were constantly being dismissed by the majority of people here. It was obvious that there were problems.

Output: Awesome! Welcome to the family and best of luck to you :)


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Title] I think you simply don't [Body]

Output: I think you simply don't understand what I am saying. As that sometimes happens on the internet. Anyone who says that you will not have an issue in Columbus is making a blanket statement in regards to his or his vehicles safety. Is it possible he will have zero trouble while visiting, yes absolutely but he also needs to expect that anything can happen there. I have a full list of things I could go into detail about would explain why I feel like you're taking a chance no matter who you are. Personally after having my own car keyed I chose not to even tell people I was originally from Michigan because I never knew what type of person I was dealing with. I'm not taking anything personal as I know from personal experience how horrible buckeye fans can be. I just enjoyed pointing out the irony of a blanket statement attacking my blanket statement.

Output: You don't?!?! Oh man, sending my cousin a Facebook poke right now ;)

Output: It's not Michigan Stadium but it's still cool to see and you can drive right up to it.


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Title] Really? So attacking me for [Body]

Output: Really? So attacking me for sharing my experiences is okay? Pay no attention to the irony of your response to what I said. Just stating what I've seen and know. Sure lots of people have never had anything happen, but you're still taking a chance. I had to take my alumni association sticker off my car because it was keyed. It was just a small sticker on the back side window. The rest of the stuff I've seen all happened to people I know personally and not stupid made up internet lore. Why insult me for sharing my view?


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Title] Just trying to be [Body]

Output: Just trying to be realistic... Even with the Michigan shirt there is a chance of some sort of interaction. Had the parents of a 7-8yo child send their son over to me in a parking lot to tell me "fuck Michigan" while they laughed. It's an interested level of classy there. I know they all aren't like that but there area good number of bad ones. Downtown is pretty decent and some good places for food and a beer if you drink. Also if you have the time and haven't been, drive by the horse shoe and take a look. It's only 10-15mins away from where you will be.

Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Title] You do make a valid point, [Body]

Output: You do make a valid point, but there is a risk at the event and anywhere else he may stop.


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Title] I lived there for a few [Body]

Output: I lived there for a few years... Yes there is a very high chance something will happen to your ride. If someone tells you it will be fine, they don't know what they are talking about. I know multiple people he have come down or even live there where something had happened either because of something on the outside of the vehicle or even something UM related on the inside that was visible. You may get lucky though. If you need any good places for food or anything in the area, let me know...

Output: I doubt it's Urban _eyer.. He's too big name to get caught doing that. Would be just dumb. Would probably be someone whoa in danger if losing their job or a bottom feeder team.

Output: I won't watch when they are in Indiana :(


Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Title] People with issues know now [Body]

Output: People with issues know now how easy it is to walk into a school of any kind and shoot till they get the attention and revenge they think they deserve... And it won't stop until it's no longer "safe" for them to do so. Hopefully people recover quickly and fully and the shooter is brought to justice!

Output: Said Michigan the last 4 years...

Output: Wrong, I know someone who was in that situation and felt it was the "best" option at the time for various reason I will not get into here...

Output: The hilarious part about this was someone said this about a week ago and the poster was attacked for it. Good luck Rawls, and I hope you find a better OL to run behind. Tough depth loss for Michigan.. :(


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Title] All five of those guys are [Body]

Output: All five of those guys are good players... Don't pretend this won't be a difficult game for any team to win. MSU is at home and has a fantastic home court advantage. If Michigan wins it's going to be because they out executed and flat out wanted it more. They need this win for later in the season when a stronger MSU team comes to Ann Arbor. With that being said, I hope MSU gets blown out :)


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Title] I'm very excited for this [Body]

Output: I'm very excited for this season... Way to go girls!


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Title] Yes... I still believe a [Body]

Output: Yes... I still believe a reliable dual threat QB is the future of football. They don't need to have Denard rushing ability but be mobile and have an accurate arm.

Output: So is the only requirement that you have to just be an AA member now and not an actual alumni/alumnus ? I've never actually looked into it...

Output: I don't know why he's getting so much hate... He's a good QB, he's lead that team to some great wins! I'd rather see him declare but hey I'm not biased or anything ;)

Output: Good for Trey! I really thought he should have waited another year and I still think he should have but I am very happy things are looking up for him. He really seems to have got up to speed and it's looking like he may have a productive future ahead of him.

Output: Cool story Mbro! I'm sure it will all go well and wish you a speedy and safe recovery!


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Title] He certainly had his ups and [Body]

Output: He certainly had his ups and downs this season. I won't dwell on the downs and without him the OL would have found even more ways to disappoint. Thanks for giving the team and school your senior year! Hail!


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] Cool story... Really. I'm [Body]

Output: Cool story... Really. I'm sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing an not so ordinary interaction with us. I'm with you on not harassing him just because you had the opportunity. There is a time and place for everything and how you handled your interaction was nothing short of respectful and classy. To your grandfather! Go blue!


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] Guys... Please use protection [Body]

Output: Guys... Please use protection if you do


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] I agree that the bored has [Body]

Output: I agree that the bored has got a little crazy but these are crazy times... Crazy times indeed. I do not agree that we as a fan base cannot discuss a coach being let go. Why should I ignore the obviously and pretend all is right with program and only talk about it behind closed doors? Just seems silly to me.


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] Do you think Borges is a [Body]

Output: Do you think Borges is a republican or democrat? ;)


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] I'm all for diversity... [Body]

Output: I'm all for diversity... However, is he the best man for the job or is he the best non "white guy" for the job? I don't care who the coach is as long as they win and win the right way. As a person of color myself (black and not "African-American", I'm a black-American) I do not feel that race nor ethnic background should play any part in a coaching search.


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] I think he means ManBall!? [Body]

Output: I think he means ManBall!? Cause it's what all the top B1G teams run right?

Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] All it took was one [Body]

Output: All it took was one questionable post regarding Coach Funk... How is being realistic trolling? Being forced to post only unrealistic positive comments on everything here is no way to spend your time on a message board. Some people truly believe that Michigan Football can and will never do a thing wrong, I'm not delusional. Best part is I'll be attacked relentlessly for this comment.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] Oh you got me! I happy you're [Body]

Output: Oh you got me! I happy you're so proud of yourself.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] I think it's hilarious that [Body]

Output: I think it's hilarious that the same people who freak out when anyone has even the slightest non un realistically positive comment will insult a guy who posted an article... Coming from people who claim to be better and above everyone else as fans and alumni sure stumble off that high horse quite often. Go Blue?


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] Meh... I'm happy trolling me [Body]

Output: Meh... I'm happy trolling me makes you feel better about yourself.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] I'm hearing similar through a [Body]

Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] I believe nothing that comes [Body]

They didn't receive meals etc. the interim head coach kicked a player off the team when he stood up in regards to their treatment during a strength and conditioning session which cause the entire group to walk out on the coaching staff. The player has since been reinstated but suspended. It's a complete disaster there right now.

Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] Can't run the ball, can't [Body]

Output: Can't run the ball, can't protect the pass... Can't pressure the QB, can't not leave guys uncovered.... So horrible line issues and coverage issues still not fixed... But hey, they will never let this happen again... This is michigan after all.


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] Cool story Bro... Really [Body]

She was so proud of her accomplishment and made sure to share that fact with anyone and everyone.. Till employers would tell her she didn't have the right skills needed. The degree from Purdue got her the interviews but she just did not have the knowledge to do the jobs she wanted. Long story short she ended up back at a for profit college with a nursing degree. Yay for Comp Lit!

Input: [Date] 1 year 49 weeks ago [Title] I'm seeing the OL break down [Body]

Output: I'm seeing the OL break down after just a few seconds and the only way the QB has any real time to let a play develop is to boot leg or scramble out of the pocket.


Input: [Date] 1 year 50 weeks ago [Title] And according to Fred Jackson [Body]

Output: If he has an iPhone and or an iPod or anything apple just go with an iPad... Id suggest an iPad mini. Really like mine and I use it when traveling or easier surfing when on the couch.

Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] IIRC [Body]

Output: GMAT only went to ND b/c his son wanted to go to ND and they offered to pay his tuition if his dad came with. Don't know that he would have left otherwise. I do remember him saying this would be his last gig and now the timing is right. Will probably retire within a week or so.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] Lets keep in mind what Hoke [Body]

Output: Lets keep in mind what Hoke did with the last of the class that Carr recruited. RR was the worst hire we could have made and in my opinion and we are still feeling the effects. RR had no idea how to recruit lineman. The o line play was horrible and has been for 2 years now.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] I still think that Dantonio [Body]

Output: I still think that Dantonio is riding the wave of recruiting success that RR caused. When Carr recruited Michigan it was for two reasons, one was because of a belief that local boys would play harder because they grew up watching, and rooting for the wolverines, but he also knew that if they were playing for Michigan they weren't playing for Sparty or the Bucks. RR never got that and so a lot of kids that are now juniors and seniors on that team are on that team because RR never offered them. Granted kids like Gholston and Cousins were never going to go to Michigan because they grew up hating us but I would venture to guess that a lot of these kids would have been blue had we hired Hoke 6 years ago instead of RR. I think in the next 2 years, MSU will be back to being a 7 win school every year. All of that being said, yes I do believe that MD is the best thing that has happened to MSU since Saban.


Input: [Date] 1 year 50 weeks ago [Title] "Our helmets have wings". [Body]

Output: Still the best recruiting pitch ever.


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] I think DG is just what Dr. Borges ordered. [Body]

Output: There is no mistaking that Denard was exactly what we needed over the last few years to try to recover from the utter destruction of every record that our school held so dear. That being said, however, I have been so excited to see this offense be built around someone who was a quarterback who could run as opposed to a running back who could throw. I love DRob and sincerely thank him for all that he did on and off the field but lets face it, he was not much of a threat on passing downs unless there were angels in the field with him. Devin seems to be a really good next step for our program and i am very excited for the future.


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] did you forget about his luck against RR? [Body]

Output: RR owned the Big East until he left. That was when Kelley started rocking it at Cinncy. As bad as RR was here he never lost to Kelley. ND only got the better of us last year because of turnovers. We gave up 6 TOs and only lost by a TD. When we gave up that many to Weiss in 08 at least he was able to capitilize in it. Kelley can't even manage to keep his team together.


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] or at least, [Body]

Output: Year 4 anyway


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] not to be a negative nelly, [Body]

Output: But I am far more interested in what they do on the field. I get what you are looking for but lets be honest, a 5* kid who does nothing on the field is far worse than a 3* who rocks it. Kelvin Grady is a perfect example.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Well I would definitely say [Body]

Output: Well I would definitely say that you scientifically proved that you are overly superstitious.


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Title] Just keep in mind that Nick [Body]

Output: Just keep in mind that Nick Saban was quoted (IIRC) 3 times as stating that he had no desire to go back to the college level.


Input: [Date] 2 years 43 weeks ago [Title] I had a conversation with a [Body]

Output: I had a conversation with a razorback fan the other day, where I pointed out that he was missing the bright side of the whole JLS debacle. He inquired what the bright side could be, and I replied "Well at least at this rate you won't have to worry about getting ready for a bowl game, so it frees up a lot of time to look for a new coach." He did not see the humor in the statement.


Input: [Date] 2 years 43 weeks ago [Title] since I live in AR I can [Body]

Output: since I live in AR I can assure you that there is a long line of people waiting to help him with that.


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Title] If I were the HC they would [Body]

Output: If I were the HC they would run me out of town and the world's largest outcry would come to bring BH back. #1 or 2 no not this year. Helmet stickers yes. Helmet numbers no Alternate uniforms on the condition that they are used as either a recruiting tool or a method of surprise to throw off the other team. or both My coordinators........ duh.........no brainer........ the ones we got dude. As far as the whole what type of offense I would run I am smart enough to know that I know less than nothing about anything so I would defer all decisions to my oober smart staff and I would hide in my office, until the crowd outside, mutilated Dave Brandon for hiring me. Given my choice I'll keep running my machine at work and let the great men that are our beloved UM coaches, just do what they do.


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Title] I recently talked to a [Body]

Output: I recently talked to a die-hard UF fan who told me that we better get ready to hate Urban because he would "own us". I went ahead and told him that I already hate him and then reminded him that Urban is 0-1 against UM.


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Title] I think that we will have to wait and see. [Body]

Output: At the end of the day, I think the only way to say if the punishment was adequate is to see if it happens again. If we are having this discussion again next year, we will know that it wasn't enough. On the other hand, I would hate to think that the team lost a winnable game over the defending national champs because of a mistake made by one person.


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Title] I Have to say [Body]

Output: It took long enough. I was starting to think that this staff would never get anyone to commit for 2014. You really have to wonder if this staff knows what they're doing. Nearly half way through the 2013 class and they're just now now starting to focus in 2014. I mean REALLY.


Input: [Date] 2 years 51 weeks ago [Title] I typically want sparty alum [Body]

Output: I typically want sparty alum off my porch as quick as possible so i tip well enough to shut them up and get them on their way.


Input: [Date] 2 years 51 weeks ago [Title] may be interesting to see what happens [Body]

Output: It is very possible that we have some attrition this year once the season gets rolling. Please don't take this the wrong way, that is not what I am hoping for, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone buried on the depth chart opted to transfer for more play time.


Input: [Date] 2 years 51 weeks ago [Title] wish the kid nothing but the best. [Body]

Output: Kind of wierd though, how he wanted nothing to do with UM as a recruit and now he is going to go play for an alum that most UM fans want nothing to do with.


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Does that include the girl in [Body]

Output: Does that include the girl in the bottom pic that is being urinated upon. Kind of weird dude


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Title] So what are you implying? [Body]

Output: I get the feeling that you're trying to say something about their ability to pull in the best recruits in the nation.


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Typically I sing "The [Body]

Output: Typically I sing "The Victors" whenever I hear something cool like this, but in light of this news can I just say "What I got, you got to give it to your momma".


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Title] We are currently at 21 [Body]

Output: We are currently at 21 commits with the addition of a long snapper. I believe what you are referring to is David Dawson (iirc) made a comment on twitter that there would be someone joining soon and the assumption by some was that it would be Poggi which came to pass.


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Title] I live in Arkansas and I have [Body]

Output: I live in Arkansas and I have had about all I can take of the whole "SEC is the best" BS. I would love to beat the best the Shitty Education Confrence has had to offer over the last 7 years. That being said, until we are up by 4 touchdowns with less than 5 minutes left in the game I will be wearing a hole in the carpet during every game.


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Title] I dont know that I'd say stole. [Body]

Output: I would go with earned, took, maybe ascended into, but not stole


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Out of principle I dont give [Body]

Output: Out of principle I dont give out my email but can I Just say "wow". That would be sweet. I have read other posts similar to this one and they all seem to say the same thing. That he is exactly the same on the field or in front if the camera as he is off the field. Congrats on the cool events. I just can't help but love this guy.


Input: [Date] 3 years 9 weeks ago [Title] Denard will wear #1 [Body]

Output: And play wr. Mealer has slimmed down so much that he is now moving into the qb spot and Gardner has put on enough weight that he is taking on Mealers spot on the line. It is the only logical explanation.


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Title] In spite of the overall [Body]

Output: In spite of the overall unlikability of BR I do have to ask the question "How in the Hell does Northwestern keep getting these QBs?".


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Title] My advice to you would be to [Body]

Output: My advice to you would be to wait until we beat them again this year and then tell him to piss off when he tells you he wants to come back to the Jedi.
