Input: [Date] 1 year 5 weeks ago [Body] I think we are going to have a really good defense this year. Especially the back seven. Not sure if Jabrill will win the Heisman, but maybe in another year or two. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 5 weeks ago [Body] Can't comment on Justified but I loved Timothy Oliphant in Deadwood. [Title]

Output: Can't comment on Justified


Input: [Date] 1 year 6 weeks ago [Body] Yeah, no GoT really sucks. But a couple of new shows I've been watching and am now really into are Penny Dreadful (Sunday nights) and Salem (Thursday nights). And I too am looking forward to The Leftovers and Strain based on the trailers I've seen. [Title]

Output: Yeah, no GoT really sucks.


Input: [Date] 1 year 6 weeks ago [Body] Hmmmn, interesting news but seems to contradict other recruiting.... It sounded like we were recruiting Hjalte Froholdt (who is an interior lineman) pretty hard up until he committed to Arkansas. I wonder what changed? [Title]

Output: Hmmmn, interesting news but


Input: [Date] 1 year 11 weeks ago [Body] Wow, so much negativity. I bet at least one of these guys turns into a great receiver eventually. And I bet at least one of them sees significant playing time this year, not just on special teams. I know not every recruit is going to be a stud, but I would be very surprised if all three of them turned out to be busts. As bluekoj said, there is almost nothing to go on at this point. Lets give them a chance before we just write off the entire 2013 receiver class. [Title]

Output: Wow, so much negativity. I


Input: [Date] 1 year 12 weeks ago [Body] After reading the above comments, I'm now convinced the NFL draft is the perfect Rorschach test for Michigan fans. The optimists see the silver lining and the haters see confirmation that the coaches suck. [Title]

Output: Rorschach Test


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] I'd be really pissed if I were the security guard. He suffered a vicious attack for simply doing his job. If it were me, I'd want Jayru Campbell to receive the full wrath of the law (as a minor, not the bs where they often find some loophole to charge kids as adults), not some slap on the wrist. Counciling and anger management classes.....what a joke. [Title]

Output: I'd be really pissed if I


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] I have no problem holding the coaching staff accountable. But I absolutely insist that we give them a few years to rebuild first, then fire 'em if they aren't getting the job done. I'm not sure RR was the best for Michigan but I definitely don't want his replacement to be run out of town before he even has a chance to field a decent team. And I don't want to be in a 20 year cycle of rebuilding like Notre Dame. [Title]

Output: I have no problem holding the


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] Seems like stability to the program arrived with Hoke. I hope we actually follow through and give him a chance to rebuild the program. Otherwise we will be rebuilding for another 3-4 years if we get rid of him after this year. [Title]

Output: Seems like stability to the


Input: [Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Body] Yep GoT and Walking Dead are great. I also am absolutely loving the first two episodes of Turn on AMC so far. Another good one that I just watched is the first season of Black Sails (on Starz). And Vikings (History Channel) is pretty awesome too if you haven't seen that yet. I've heard some people say that The Black List is good. I liked the first few episodes but it got silly when every week they catch a new super-criminal/terrorist. I don't really like one hour self contained shows anymore. Instead I prefer the series format. And yeah, Project Free TV is the best. [Title]

Output: Yep GoT and Walking Dead are

Output: Not so fast. We're still in


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Body] I'm surprised no programs have offered to let star recruits design the team uniforms as an incentive to come to their school. Or maybe we just haven't heard about it? [Title]

Output: From what I heard, Nicholson


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] Perhaps you guys know more about this than I do. I live many states away and have only read a little about this but from my understanding, there were never any charges filed against Gibbons because the alleged victim did not want to pursue the matter. Then many years after the alleged rape that never warranted any charges, Gibbons is suddenly expelled because of a change in University policy. So Gibbons gets thrown under the bus by the university and now his reputation is forever destroyed.....and he may not have even done anything wrong? If anyone's civil rights were violated, it was Gibbons. Or am I missing some important legal details? [Title]

Output: What About Gibbons' Civil Rights?


Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Body] I don't know about that. The fans demand wins or the coaches head. Are we willing to trade our higher academic and character standards for wins on the field? LF is saying yes, loosen the standards. I'm not saying he's right, but he does sound like much of our fan base. [Title]

Output: I don't know about that. The

Output: Shhhhh......


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Body] I had the opposite reaction. He completely embarrassed himself and will probably regret these comments when he grows up a bit. Now, instead of everyone talking about what a great corner he is, we're all talking about what a jackass he is instead. [Title]

Output: I had the opposite reaction.

Output: Whaaaaaa


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Mark May must really know how to push his buttons because Holtz just lost it when May said he was out of order. Holtz yells "I'm sick of everybody jumping on coach". I guess he's earned the right to just go by the nickname coach, but who talks about themselves in the third person like that? [Title]

Output: What a little Diva


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] This is in reply to you and Mr. Rager. From Wikipedia: On January 15, 1982, Texas A&M offered Schembechler nearly $3 million for 10 years—the richest contract in the history of college athletics at that time—to become the school's football coach and athletic director. Schembechler turned it down. "Frankly, I've come to the conclusion that there are things more important in this world than money," Schembechler said. "For that reason, I've decided to stay at Michigan."[5] But thats not the whole story according to my father (U of M alumni graduated mid 70's). My dad says that Bo was very close to leaving. Three million over 10 years was an astronomical sum at the time and Bo was certainly tempted. But at the 11th hour some Michigan alumni got together led by Tom Monighan and bought Bo two Dominos Pizza franchises (in Columbus, OH by the way) and the University gave him a 40% raise so he would stay in Ann Arbor. [Title]

Output: Bo almost left in '82 for money


Input: [Date] 1 year 49 weeks ago [Body] MA's (missed assignments) and loafs. I learned something new. They do keep stats on linemen. I'd kind of like to hear about those stat lines on the other lineman too. Especially the guys battling for the other Guard spot and the Center position like Bryant, Braden, Miller, Glasgow etc....

Output: Muppets on Sunday?


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Body] I know that about 80% of Michigan charter schools are "for profit". Is this school? The reason I ask is that you are soliciting donations on behalf of the children. [Title]

Output: For Profit?


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Body] Great idea. Shouldn't be too tough since we have 78 All-Americans, 3 Hiesman Trophy winners, an ex-President and a bunch of all time great coaches to choose from. [Title]

Output: Great idea. Shouldn't be too


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Body] ESPN just did an "exit interview" thing with all of the departing seniors. One of the questions was about which 2012 red-shirt they expect to make a big impact this year. At least three of them picked Jeremy Clark and had some really nice things to say about his development and his performance on last years scout team. I don't think he's going to beat out Thomas Gordon and Jerrod Wilson for the starting safety spots, but it sounds like he has a good chance to see some playing time this year. http://insider.espn.go.com/colleges/michigan/football/story/_/id/9206884/departing-seniors-believe-michigan-wolverines-good-hands [Title]

Output: Jeremy Clark

Output: Not to pick nits but they


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Body] I am completely baffled as to what point you're trying to make and I'm quite sure my point sailed right over you're head too. You picked two outstanding examples of what a real football players ought to be. Devin and Denard have always done whatever the coaches want without complaint or hesitation - block, tackle, switch positions, etc.... And you would never ever hear those words (I don't want to block) coming out of their mouths. Like I said above, maybe the interviewer misunderstood or failed to follow up with a question letting him know he would be doing a lot of blocking as a receiver at Michigan? But all I have to judge is this quote that makes Andrews sound like a bit of a prima donna. [Title]

Output: I am completely baffled as to


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Body] Yeah I can't believe the interviewer didn't ask a follow up. Thats an incredibly shocking thing for a football player to say and not clarify. [Title]

Output: Yeah I can't believe the


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Body] I'm glad we missed on Mark Andrews. He doesn't want to block? GTFO with that crap and go play dolls or something. You don't think Jeremy Gallon blocks his tail off? Wow, I've literally never heard a football player say those words. [Title]

Output: Andrews is not a true football player.


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Body] I heard on another site that Scarborough is being recruited by Alabama as a WR instead of RB. That may be the reason for the renewed intrest. That and Alabama already has a stable full of NFL running backs. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Body] Yes. It really was just coaches being coaches. SBnation has the video: http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2013/3/8/4079900/ohio-state-kic... Pretty unremarkable if you ask me. Not sure why its getting all the attention. [Title]

Output: Yup.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Body] True. I love Coach Brown. Free info and interviews on recruits. Just like what the pay sites are trying to sell me for the low low price of $9.99 per month!!!! I used to love Tremendous for the same reasons, but he sold out and now wants to make a living selling me information about the University I love and recruits who might go there. Lol, can you see the reason some are polarized? [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] Hand specifically names Bud Foster as his favorite coach but says Michigan's coaching staff is his favorite. After reading the article I think the op is making a big deal out of nothing. The interviewer just quoted some nice things Hand had to say about each of his top 5 schools. He definitely wasn't hinting at Michigan being his leader because he likes the coaching staff the best. [Title]

Output: Hand specifically names Bud


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Not sure if you're updating you're list but I've heard quite a few names that should be added to your list.

Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Whatever happened to Hunt last weekend? I thought he was here to visit us but ended his visit at the Michigan/Ohio bball game in Columbus? Maybe thats why he's no longer being recruited. I think 6 OL is more than enough anyway. Bring on Green and Smythe! [Title]

Output: Whatever happened to Hunt


Input: [Date] 2 years 29 weeks ago [Body] Wow, this sucks. That was my second favorite Michigan site behind mgoblog. I'm dissappointed but they deserve it and 247 will be a lot better because of these guys. Everyone should take this as a reminder to click on a few ads here on MgoBlog. The ad click revenue is how Brian is able to make a few bucks and keep this site free! [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Body] I miss the days when players stayed with one team for their whole careers. But those days are long gone and Wells is just stating reality. And towards the end of the article Wells admits he hasn't lived up to expectations. [Title]

[Title]

Output: Does not compute....


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] We're way too thin at CB still. I guess if Lewis turns out to be better as a receiver, that is where he will eventually end up but we really need depth at CB right now. And as others have pointed out, he might need a year to get bigger before he is ready for any positionl [Title]

Output: This.


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] A few years back Charles Barkley was considering running for Governor of Alabama. When a reporter asked about a possible run he said "why not, if it weren't for Mississippi and Arkansas, Alabama would be last in everything". [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I have no problem with giving these kids a gift package for all the hard work they put in. Too bad they don't get a little share of the bowl payouts too. It would be nice if they got a check for a thousand bucks or something and call it a grant or scholarship award. [Title]

Output: Nice Schwag


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] Sorry for another "I heard" comment but I've also heard that Stribling is due for a big ratings bump. I was assuming that mean't he would be a 4-star. Not that I care so much about stars and rankings, but it does seem like an affirmation of our coaches eye for talent, eh? [Title]

Output: Sorry for another "I heard"


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I believe I saw a tweet last week regarding Deveon Smith and Rivals rankings. Supposedly he's going to make a huge leap into the top 100 today due to the monster senior season he's having. Deveon my be one of our most underrated recruits to this point. [Title]

Output: Snoop Pearson


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] I hate ND for a bunch of reasons. First of all would be their smarmy fans. I'm originally from the Chicago burbs and ND fans are just as unbearable as Ohio or Lil' Brother. Next, would be the fact that they just snubbed the B1G in favor of the ACC. And finally, although I could probably go on, is that they don't deserve the season they are having. We should've beaten them and a few other teams probably should've too. ND proves that being lucky is better than being good. [Title]

Output: I hate ND for a bunch of


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] I'll always remember the day Bo died because one of my female co-workers who knew I was a big Michigan fan came running into my office saying that Michigan's coach had died. I was horrified and couldn't believe Coach Carr dropped dead right in the middle of the season. After frantically looking around the internet I realized it was Bo, not Lloyd that had passed. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] They tried to steal Bo from us in the early eighties. I was too young to remember the details but my father talks about Bo almost leaving for a $3 million/10 yrs payday to Texas A&M. Back then, it was richest ever I think. But the Alumni got together and took care of Bo. I think they gave him a couple of pizza franchises or something. [Title]

Output: Another reason to hate TAMU


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Body] The gay friends I have might refer to each other as "queer" and mean it as a term of endearment, but would be offended if a stranger just showed up and started calling people queers. Sort of like the "n" word can be acceptable among the African-American community. Oops, didn't read jhender85's above post. Pretty much same sentiment here. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] Me too. Reminds me of the Bo/Woody days. My father and grandfather used to tell stories of Woody sending spies up to watch our practices and Bo closing them to the media. Even if Hoke is just being paranoid, it ads to the mystique of the program by keeping practices closed to the public. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] A close friend of mine quit the football team after his freshman year in college. We all asked him to reconsider and told him that he was making a mistake, throwing away a huge opportunity, etc.... None of that mattered to him. He didn't like getting hit constantly. I think my dissappointment came because I felt like he was blowing an opportunity I never had. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] For obvious reasons, Michigan fans are blissfully unaware of a offensive line recruiting battle going on at Cass Tech for the services of Dennis Finley. Finley is a 6-7 300 lb OT who is rated as a mid 3 star on all the recruiting sites except ESPN where he was awarded a fourth star (just barely). Given the fact that most of the OL talent in the Midwest has already committed elsewhere, Urban Meyer is going after Finley pretty hard at this point I believe. Michigan State wants him too as well as Wisconsin and Illinois and some lower tier schools too. Unfortunately, there's just not enough room for every Cass Tech kid at Michigan. Cough, cough....Delano Hill. [Title]

Output: Unfortunately UFM is Tapping in to Cass Tech

Input: [Date] 3 years 3 weeks ago [Body] You're the one who needs to be told not to get their panties in a bunch. A few posts ago, you blatantly accused Auburn of cheating and paying players for the past 30 years.

Input: [Date] 3 years 3 weeks ago [Body] I believe USC's 2013 class will be 18 recruits. From what I've read, they are limited to 15 schollies per year but as long as 3 of the recruits EE, they can be counted towards last years class. But I could be wrong so somebody correct me if you know better. [Title]

Output: I believe USC's 2013 class


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Body] I agree. And I don't think the coaches would accept a commitment unless he's 100%. The things that bother me about this is that just a week ago he planned on visiting Oklahoma and Ok. St. as well as possibly visiting USC. Thats a huge change in such a short time. Guess we will find out "soon" according to the young man himself. [Title]

Output: I agree. And I don't think


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Body] possible [Title]

Output: oops, please delete if


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Body] I was nine at the time so I have no memory of the game but my dad still brings this one up once in a while. And he's still pissed about it too. [Title]

Output: I was nine at the time so I


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Body] Funny. Tell Magnus he goes by Successful Quon on twitter. I don't think he'd be insulted by M fans calling him Quon. [Title]

Output: Funny. Tell Magnus he goes


Input: [Date] 3 years 5 weeks ago [Body] I would think even someone from W. Virginia would believe we gave RR a fair chance. He had 3 seasons at a premier football university. His best season was 7-6 and he lost every game to our cheif rivals OSU and MSU. Even if he were given a fourth year (last year), no one believes he would've won 11 games including the Sugar Bowl. [Title]

Output: I would think even someone


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Body] That was really cool. And emotional. Thanks for posting that. Too bad Chris, Jimmy and Ray couldn't be there to share that with Juwan too. [Title]

Output: That was really cool. And


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Body] Now that is a true Michigan fan dog's name. Unfortunately, the name is the easy part. Getting the dog to watch the game with you is the impossible part. Every dog I've had hides when the Michigan game is on. [Title]

Output: Taco Pants!


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Body] I was also suprised by the boxers. I kind of thought boxing was on the decline. Almost everyone I know is much more into the UFC. [Title]

Output: I was also suprised by the


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Body] This. I was especially angry with Congress when they decided to butt in. As if they don't have enough real problems to deal with. Frankly I think the owners have donated so much $ to the politicians, that the politicians do their bidding. And I'm not singling out either party, they are both beholden to their campaign donors. The owners used the bought and paid for Congress to make it seem like baseball was really getting cleaned up. The whole thing was about image, not a genuine desire for a clean game. Anyway, good for Roger. I'm happy he beat those bozos. [Title]

Output: This. I was especially angry


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Body] Perfect response. I like his confidence. And I believe the coaches frankly explain to the recruits that Michigan is going to bring in top athletes year in and year out. [Title]

Output: Perfect response. I like his


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Body] I think Bailey and McQuay are supposed to be visiting in the next few weeks. Our main competition for Bailey is FSU. It would be nice if this one goes our way. [Title]

Output: I think Bailey and McQuay are


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Did Ondre say what his weight is right now or what his target weight is? I remember him talking about the Army All-American game last year where he said he played at 360 lbs. [Title]

Output: Did Ondre say what his weight


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Thanks for posting that. It's not suprising that Hoke and staff pay no attention to the star ratings. [Title]

Output: Thanks for posting that.


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Body] High School kids do just fine with long snapping. It doesn't seem that hard. I'm with the pissed off crowd wondering why a walk on can't suffice? But that was interesting to see that the other major football powers feel its an important enough position that they will burn a scholly on it. Trust the coaches and all that.... Welcome Scott Sypniewski! [Title]

Output: High School kids do just fine


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Sucks that we missed on Isaac but Green and Wilkins are both pretty good. I just hope Wilkins gives us a fair shot and is able to visit next weekend. Anyway, it seems likely that we might take a 4th receiver if we miss out on these two. Are there any other RB's that have mutual interest? [Title]

Output: Sucks that we missed on Isaac


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Lol. That's messed up dude. I wish I could "un-see" this. [Title]

Output: Lol. That's messed up dude.


Input: [Date] 3 years 9 weeks ago [Body] I gotta say, his apology was a lot more real than any politician's I've ever seen. None of that "I'm sorry if anyone was offended" crap. Seems a lot more genuine than just covering his own ass. I can't speak for everyone but I accept his apology and will happily forget about the incident. [Title]

Output: Seems genuine to me


Input: [Date] 3 years 9 weeks ago [Body] The fact that he hasn't been kicked off the team is good news. But that being said, this news is very alarming and dissappointing heading into a year with such high expectations. We've been rooting for BWC to live up to his potential for years. And this crap always happens at the position we're the thinnest at. Ef Murphy. [Title]

Output: The fact that he hasn't been


Input: [Date] 3 years 9 weeks ago [Body] You've got a good point that we already have two tall possesion-type receivers committed to this class and that Devon Allen would add a speed dimension to our passing game. But I think Treadwell is a much better prospect. I know ratings don't mean bupkis but Treadwell is considered an elite, top ten receiver by almost all of the services. The only way I see us taking Allen is if we whiff on Treadwell (make my head asplode) or if the coaches decide to take 4 wr in this class. I hope neither of these things happen. [Title]

Output: Treadwell and done


Input: [Date] 3 years 9 weeks ago [Body] We're way overdue for some good news. I believe I heard some strong rumors last week that we could get one or possibly two commits very soon. I'm still buckled up.... [Title]

Output: We're waaay overdue


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Body] Actually, yes I am. And I will think of that fucking cowardly "neck-crank" on Denard whenever I see Gholston on TV or see his name in print forever. And, I don't think a one game suspension was a sufficient deterrence from seeing this kind of play again. And I don't think D'Antonio got the message either. Anyway, mostly it should just be fuel to the fire for next years game. [Title]

Output: Actually, yes I am. And I


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Body] We'll have the answer to that question soon enough. I read the whole article. Apparently Gholston apologized for the incidents and wishes to be thought of as a person of high character. If Gholston turns into a goon and purposly tries to injure our best players again this year, he is a sociopath. If he can play clean, he's not. [Title]

Output: Sociopath?


Input: [Date] 3 years 14 weeks ago [Body] I believe he is announcing at 3pm on Tuesday (tomorrow) at his school. [Title]

Output: I believe he is announcing at


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] No prognostication but I'm hoping to see some good stuff tomorrow. I want to see a crisp, efficient Denard passing game. I bet everyone is particularly interested in the D-line. I want to see how BWC and Jibreel look as the starting NT and DT. I want to see how Devin Gardner looks at WR. And I really want to see how the EE freshman play. Joe Bolden has been getting a lot of mentions in spring practice pressers and Jerrod Wilson too to a lesser degree. [Title]

Output: No prognostication but I'm


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] From what I hear, Dymonte played a critical role in the recruitment of Ben Gedeon. [Title]

Output: From what I hear, Dymonte


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] I didn't hear about this last night. What a great way to wake up. There will definitely be some productivity loss at work today. [Title]

Output: Productivity loss


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] You are assuming that local schools didn't want him. Perhaps it was the other way around? Maybe his plan was to go to school someplace warm and he let MSU, Iowa and Wiscy know he wasn't in play. [Title]

Output: Its a mystery


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] Unfortunately, Mathis may have some grade issues. I'm just passing along some info (not sure how solid) that I read on 24/7. http://michigan.247sports.com/Board/59424/RE-Mathis-8886671/1 The article is in the Michigan section but it appears to be from a USC fan. I remember last year we wouldn't take Aaron Burbridge because of questionable grades and I think Anthony Standifer was misssing a requirement so I know how strict our requirements are. I hope these reports are false, but they should be looked into before we pencil Mathis into our rotation. [Title]

Output: Please don't shoot the messenger.


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] Yeah, we really do have a decent shot at finishing the class that way. And the other WR will be a stud too. We're in on so many good ones. [Title]

Output: Yeah, we really do have a


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] We have so much talent on the D-line that we are going to have to have line changes like in Hockey rather than individual substitutions. [Title]

Output: We have so much talent on the


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Body] Saban looked like their best QB. [Title]

Output: Saban looked like their best


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Body] If you didn't like the coaches decision to not redshirt Talbott, get ready to be very dissappointed over the next few years. I don't think Hoke & Staff can afford to RS many players. The pressure is on to win and win now. Perhaps in a few years when he's had four or more recruiting classes and plenty of depth he will have the luxury of RSing players? [Title]

Output: Its a matter of depth


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Body] And halfway expected a belated April fool's prank. [Title]

Output: Guilty.


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Body] There were a few big name receivers I didn't see mentioned: Darell Daniels, Robert Foster, Marquez North and James Quick. Not that any were Michigan leans, I was just wondering if you've heard Michigan is being considered by any of these players? [Title]

Output: There were a few big name


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Is this one of those cases where a guy is "criminally underrated", as Aquaman loves to say? On paper, it looks like we already have two cornerbacks committed that are higher rated than Butler plus a killer safety. Seems like we would only be interested in elite DB's with so few spots left. [Title]

Output: 3* Devin Butler


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Body] That sucks bro. I enjoyed your updates. Hope you change your mind. [Title]

Output: That sucks bro. I enjoyed


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Body] I stand corrected by the man himself. Sorry, I thought you had some way of verifying which kids have offers and which ones didn't. [Title]

Output: I stand corrected by the man


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Magnus does a good job of keeping track of who has been offered: http://touchthebanner.blogspot.com/p/2013-offer-board.html JoJo has not. [Title]

Output: Magnus does a good job of


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Daniels is just one of many high quality receivers we are in hot pursuit of. You can check out interviews and updates about Daniels on Tremendous' site: http://thisismichiganfootball.blogspot.com/2012/03/darrell-daniels-update.html A few of the other receivers we are looking at: Eldridge Massington, Devon Allen, Marquez North, Sebastian LaRue, Marcell Ateman, Demorea Stringfellow and Uriah LeMay. Of course our #1 target is Laquon Treadwell. The only problem I see is that Treadwell is the only one from the Midwest so it may be challenging to get these guys to visit. [Title]

Output: Daniels is just one of many


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Apparently Sam Webb says the coaches are planning for this class to be 24 recruits. That means we have 8 spots left. I hope we finish with Ty Isaac, Henry Poggi, EJ Levenberry, Ben Gedeon, LaQuon Treadwell, Darell Daniels, Greg Webb and Su'a Cravens. [Title]

Output: Apparently Sam Webb says the


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Ouch. Too soon, too soon. [Title]

Output: Ouch. Too soon, too soon.


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] I'm sure the coaches could care less about a recruits rankings which is how it should be. Rankings and stars are for fans. Otherwise what the hell are we gonna argue or complain about for the six months of the year our guys aren't playing football? [Title]

Output: I'm sure the coaches could


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Thats an understatement. I've heard some say Isaac would be considered a top 10 receiver if that were his position of choice. [Title]

Output: Isaac can play receiver too


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Warning to everyone..... This idiot trolls the 247 Wolverine boards too as "HOWARD STERN" making ridiculous predictions that never come true just like he's doing now. Some people just need attention. [Title]

Output: Troll Alert


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Sounds like we're going to be using a lot of 2 TE formations heading into the future. That means we need more on the roster. I also hear some people talking about sub-positions that I'm not as familiar with. I wish Ace or someone would come out and explain what is the difference between a U-back, Y-back and TE. [Title]

Output: Sub-positions


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] I don't think we've seen enough of him to tell if he can "carry the load" one day. He played a little last year (true freshman) so I think that is a good sign of his potential. Anyway, I think spring practices are going on right now so there may be info coming in the next few weeks about our running back situation. [Title]

Output: I don't think we've seen


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Yep, depends on who the RB and TE are. I'd take Isaac over any TE. I'd probably take Derrick Green over an extra TE too for that matter. I hear his visit went very well. As far as TE's go, there doesn't seem to be that many high quality guys left not committed or heavily leaning towards other schools, so lets use the scholly on a better player at another position of need please. [Title]

Output: Yep, depends on who the RB


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] The two guys I'd love to snag this weekend are Henry Poggi and Deveon Smith. [Title]

Output: The two guys I'd love to snag


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Seven is about the age I started going. Your son will love it! Makes me wish I was a kid again seeing the Big House through those eyes. [Title]

Output: Seven is about the age I


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Body] As long as we're having delusions of granduer, they might as well be really grand, eh? [Title]

Output: As long as we're having


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Haha. Ty Isaac is like a Rorschach test. Everyone sees something different in him. But hey, I'd love a Dickerson/Brown combo back. [Title]

Output: Haha. Ty Isaac is like a


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Who are the other redshirt juniors that might not get asked back for a fifth year? [Title]

Output: Who are the other redshirt


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Body] My impression is that we are recruiting Su'a as an Athlete. He can play Safety but may also line up at RB or WR. [Title]

Output: Athelete


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Body] Michigan won a share of the B1G title already based on regular season play. What is at stake if a team wins the B1G tourney? [Title]

Output: Michigan won a share of the


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Body] I was thinking the same thing. Every time I turn around someone is posting "Shane Morris said X" on twitter while talking to other players. In fact, I think Shane is really keeping after Ty Isaac by Twitter. Perhaps our recruiters should warn kids of the potential trouble they could get themselves in? Too bad Yuri Wright didn't have a little better guidance last year. [Title]

Output: Recruiting


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Body] Dukes, Lewis and Dawson are all in Scout's top 300. Last year all of the recruits in the top 300 on Scout were ranked as 4-stars. So, I would expect all have a good chance at getting their 4th star by the end of the recruiting cycle. SIAP [Title]

Output: Dukes, Lewis & Dawson


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Body] Get an offer out to him right away too please. [Title]

Output: Jabrill Peppers


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Body] My first thought too. I just checked the Onion homepage and it's not from them. And April 1st is still weeks away so.......... [Title]

Output: My first thought too. I just


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Body] I'd be suprised if I'm the first one to point out the resemblence with McLovin. [Title]

Output: It's Ace!


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Body] When I first heard his name I thought I heard Ben Gideon and immediately thought of the bible distributing evangelical group called the Gideons. [Title]

Output: Gideons


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Body] I still can't believe we got Kugler and the rest of the o-line. All of these kids seem like high character individuals as well as good athletes. [Title]

Output: I still can't believe we got


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Body] By all accounts, he is a very talented lineman and could potentially play guard or center. Rivals and Espn rate him at 4-star while 247 and Scout give him 3 stars. We are think at O-line and have 4 guys graduating. Kozan would be a big help at a position of need. [Title]

Output: Exactly


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Body] I'm worried that Isaac is distracted by too many other teams at this point. We can't go all the way down to the last days of next January waiting for a commitment from this guy. If Deveon Smith or another decent 4 star running back wants to come to Michigan I say we take them first and hope that Isaac will still come. But judging from this interview, he is by no means a lock for Michigan. [Title]

Output: I'm worried that Isaac is


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] Kate Upton must be on hostess duty again this weekend. [Title]

Output: The only explanation.


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] I just noticed Dymonte Thomas moved up to #40 overall on 24/7 rankings. I believe he was #77 previously. Edit: LTT moved up too. Can't remember what he was but he's #89 overall now. [Title]

Output: Dymonte moved up too


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] Agree totally. Even small and medium size companies are hiring social media directors all accross the country. [Title]

Output: Agree totally. Even small


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] SIAP but did it say anywhere what Treadwell's timeline is? I hope we don't have to wait till the Under Armor game again, sheesh. [Title]

Output: SIAP but did it say anywhere


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] Totally agree and I'm afraid to go to bed because I might miss another 4 star or two committing before sunrise tomorrow. [Title]

Output: Totally agree and I'm afraid


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] 41 minutes ago on Twitter, Tremendous said that we might not be done for the day. So maybe we do get one more. At any rate, today has been amazing. [Title]

Output: 41 minutes ago on Twitter,


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] On twitter TomVH pointed out that this time last year we had ZERO commits and it took all the way untill May for us to land our seventh recruit. I'm sure the fact that Hoke had only been on the job for a month at this time last year had something to do with it, but damn we sure are off to a fast pace this year. I would also bet that six out of last years first seven commits weren't 4 star recruits. So we're off to an even faster and better start than last year. [Title]

Output: On twitter TomVH pointed out


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] I'm listening. I think Sam said sometime this hour it will be announced. And damn Bosch was an awesome surprise! [Title]

Output: I'm listening. I think Sam


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] That would be pretty amazing. Not too many recruits higher on our board than Pocic I bet. [Title]

Output: Ethan Pocic


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Body] That shit is real damn funny until it happens to you. [Title]

Output: Hilarious Gif


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Body] Fwiw Scout has him as a mid 3 star rating (86/100) and he doesn't seem to be ranked by the other services. However, I think I'll trust Mattison and Hoke's evaluation methods. [Title]

Output: Fwiw Scout has him as a mid 3


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Body] Awesome show. And the only reason I wouldn't love to see a real zombie apocalypse is because I'd miss Michigan football. /s [Title]

Output: Awesome show. And the only


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Body] There are a bunch of big names visiting this weekend. Some posters on the 247Wolverine message board are speculating that we might get a commit or two this weekend. Specifically from Chris Fox (high 4 star o-line) and Jaron Dukes (not ranked but probably low 4 star wr). [Title]

Output: There are a bunch of big


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Body] Sounds like we'll have plenty to complain about regarding Urban Meyer and his methods but I don't think this is one of those cases. I seem to recall at least two instances last year where Jamal Berry was either in a fight or just plain attacked another student on the quad. The articles posted here about the incidents seemed to indicate Berry had either a drug problem or perhaps mental health issues. Anyway I hope the kid gets well and gets to play football again one day. [Title]

Output: Sounds like we'll have plenty


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Body] I've been hearing a lot about him lately. Some of the people talking about him seem to feel that even though he is as of yet unrated, he is nearly as good as Ty Isaac. I've even heard a few say he might be better (but those are in the minority). I think 24/7 is the site I've heard him talked about most on. [Title]

Output: Deveon Smith


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Body] I'm suprised he wasn't considered a top 100 prospect. [Title]

Output: Deveon Smith


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Pee Wee reminds me a little of Warren Sapp. Can't wait to see him walk-the-walk next year. [Title]

Output: Warren Sapp


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Body] I love your optimism. [Title]

Output: I love your optimism.


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Post a link so we can at least see what you are talking about. [Title]

Output: Post a link so we can at


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Not cool man. [Title]

Output: Lol, what a jerk.


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Wow, this really really sucks! [Title]

Output: Wow, this really really


Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Body] Thanks for posting that. Scout does a great job of breaking down recruiting rankings by school, conference and even by position. Its also helpful that they assign a point value to each player. Michigan already has the number #1 offensive line class and we still may add blue chips - Garnett and Diamond. Maybe Kozan too (low chance at this point)? Our defensive line is rated #5. Linebackers #3. DB's #10 with blue chip Reeves still a strong possibility. There are a few things about their rankings that bothered me. One area that surprised me was the TE/WR category. According to Scout Funchess, Williams and Darboh are all 4 star rated and Chesson is a high 3 star. I'm not sure why we didn't make the top 10? Seems like a mistake on their part. The other thing that bothered me was our conference ranking. As a whole the B1G is ranked #5. We're slightly ahead of the Big East and just behind the ACC in recruiting as a conference. I suppose it could be because Penn State is having a down year but I also think schools like Michigan State and Wisconsin are doing a poor job of capitalizing on their on-field success. Seriously little bro, 11 wins and you should be able to grab half dozen 4 star players at least? [Title]

Output: Thanks for posting that.


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Body] I don't think the board is being hypocritical. Yes its true we do seek information and access as fans but people don't like Ace Williams in particular because of things he's done in the past (unverified rumors, phony predictions, taking credit for insider info on paywalled sites, etc...). In this case, no one was mad at Ace Williams per se, they were just mad that this proven scumbag may have been the one to break the news about Yuri Wright. The AW hatred was there long before this story, thats why I say there is no hypocrisy. [Title]

Output: I don't think the board is


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Teabagging is a sex crime? I love how the police claim they're taking this very seriously. Yeah right. I'm sure they're laughing their asses off too. [Title]

Output: Teabagging is a sex crime? I


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Great. I hope its on par with what the basketball players have in the new PDC. State of the art training facilities are a must if we want to recruit against the top football programs. [Title]

Output: Great. I hope its on par


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Body] If we were going to take 2 wr before Stonum was dismissed, it seems logical that now we would be looking to take 3. [Title]

Output: If we were going to take 2 wr


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Body] I hope not. We're almost as thin at TE as we are at WR. [Title]

Output: I hope not. We're almost as


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Totally agree. Thats why I felt the OSU punishment was a slap in the face to schools who don't cheat. [Title]

Output: Totally agree. Thats why I


Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Body] I didn't see a rating for him on Scout or Rivals but 24/7 only has him as a 3-star (88 rating) which is actually slightly lower than Jehu Chesson (89 rating) got from them this year. Although his offer sheet seems to be of a much higher rated recruit. [Title]

Output: I didn't see a rating for him


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Body] I think he's visiting Jan 13th. (btw I think Garnett is visiting that weekend too) [Title]

Output: I think he's visiting Jan


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Body] If anyone finds that deal again, please post it. Thanks. [Title]

Output: If anyone finds that deal


Input: [Date] 3 years 31 weeks ago [Body] I bet you had some epic battles in your day. [Title]

Output: I bet you had some epic


Input: [Date] 3 years 32 weeks ago [Body] Its not beyond the realm of possibility that we get both Reeves and Wright. We were interested in Wright long before Anthony Standifer decommitted so I assume the plan all along was to take 3 corner backs. [Title]

Output: Its not beyond the realm of


Input: [Date] 3 years 32 weeks ago [Body] Good pickup. I like that Morris is going to have a high quality corps of receivers the minute he joins the team in 2013.. [Title]

Output: Good pickup. I like that


Input: [Date] 3 years 33 weeks ago [Body] I would rather have Pharaoh Brown as one of our TE's than either Skip Holtz or Sam Grant. I hope the coaches can find a way to get him back on board. [Title]

Output: I would rather have Pharaoh


Input: [Date] 3 years 33 weeks ago [Body] I'd love to see David Molk go to the Lions. [Title]

Output: Molk to Lions


Input: [Date] 3 days 22 hours ago [Body] Given their defense's performance in some big games in recent years it's pretty appropriate that Nebraska's unis look like a truck ran over them. [Title]

Output: Given their defense's


Input: [Date] 5 days 22 hours ago [Body] Over 10 years ago I paid $600 a month ($1200 total, a 2 BR shared with a friend) that was furnished, a few blocks away from the old Blimpy Burger. But that was over 10 years ago, and these new digs are much nicer. [Title]

Output: Over 10 years ago I paid $600


Input: [Date] 5 days 22 hours ago [Body] I'm sure the notiion of "it must be the cell service" came from some high-priced consultant who got paid a pile of money to come up with ideas to increase attendance.

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] I think if you see what Tyus himself was saying, and then what happened, there's a pretty strong inference that Tyus wanted to go to Michigan and his parents basically made him go to Syracuse. Now why that is, we won't know unless someone spills the beans at some point, but Syracuse hasn't exactly been on the up-and-up (see, e.g., their current sanctions) so wondering what exactly transpired there isn't unreasonable. And I get the feeling that whatever was going on, Tyus had nothing to do with it himself. I think if it were solely up to him, he never even would have decommitted. [Title]

Output: I think if you see what Tyus


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] That's only a problem if you eat flour tortillas. If you only eat tacos, or buy them for home use, you just get the corn ones, which don't have that problem and are healthier in pretty much all respects than flour as well as much tastier. No one's making tortilla chips out of flour tortillas for good reason. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 16 hours ago [Body] Hell, FIGJAM's money games in practice rounds still go on and aren't exactly a secret. One reason he and Keegan Bradley wanted to play Ryder Cup together (and did) was they regularly played together in those practice rounds. And in the old days of the tour hustling on the side with money games was really common, since they didn't exactly make massive amounts of money the way the top guys do now. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Body] He was the owner and he didn't give a shit what any of us thought or did. This is an owner that actually said that Stanley Cups were too expensive. Literally the only things we could do is stop showing up and hope eventually he'd start actually losing enough money to give a shit, and pray for his death. Wirtz died just before the '07-'08 season. Attendance increased by 4000 a game that season, and then up to averaging a sellout the following year. You Lions fans have had it GREAT with the Fords compared to the Hawks under Bill Wirtz. Imagine that now that the Lions make the playoffs and the best players are expensive, the owner mandates that they trade or let go of Megatron, Stafford, and anyone else expensive, including trading a fan-favorite star who grew up in the Detroit area to the Bears or Packers. Because that's what Wirtz did in the 90s. Out went a 25 year old Roenick, out went an in-his-prime Belfour, and then out went Chelios, the fan favorite, born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, to the Red Wings. That's when attendance started to drop from consistent sellouts/near-sellouts they'd had the previous 15-ish years. [Title]

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Louisville's pitcher who is a first rounder might not be a first rounder anymore. Most recent Keith Law mock doesn't have him in the first round, and his mock is based off what he hears from industry people and scouts, not his own opinion. Funkhouser (great name, insert your Curb gifs now) has had a severe velo drop (like 5 or 6mph off his fastball) of late and having other command problems. Unfortunately for us, they'll probably start him against Morehead, which means if we win, we get the guy that Baumann called the best pitcher in the regional. [Title]

Input: [Date] 9 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I suspect that if Nairn doesn't take a big step forward, MSU's lineups by season's end will actually feature Valentine as a Pippen-style point forward and just play two shooters in the backcourt rather than have a true point guard. Valentine was already 2nd on the team in assists last year (not far behind Trice) and did play that point-forward role at times. [Title]

I can certainly see where playing elsewhere in a zone system where you have to think he can win a starting job (given his success in a zone in 2013) might be more interesting to him than trying to play man press here again and potentially seeing less time on the field.

Athens, yes, because everyone wants to live in the middle of the deep south 4hrs from a beach, 105 degrees, 95% Humidity and then at night it's still 85 degress and now 99% humidity. Oh and it gets better, when you walk outside, your instantly covered in sweat, not the good kind because it's so humid it forms a layer of slime on you. Georgia, cause everyone loves having to stay inside all day in the summer cause it's a 1000 degrees and you can't cool down cause your pool is 95 degrees..........Yeah, been there and as I said one place to visit and that's it.

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Remove Helmets [Body]

Output: Remove Helmets and start taking money out of players pockets for leading with their heads. By removing money I mean, suspension for intentional helmet hits, offensive players too for droping their heads for hits. And not the same as the drug policy but after so many personal fouls for helmet to helmet up the suspension to 2 games no pay. Then force players to sit for caused concussions resulting from an intentional helmet to helmet hit, ie a caused concussion equals 2 games for the offending player. Also, get even more strict on the launch hits. I still see a number that aren't called. It's the only way to fix the issue. The other thing, any failed ped tests should limit liability for this. I still say believe players are juiced and it's a major cause for the severity of injuries, namely head injuries in football. Players want the nfl to pay for head injuries then they should subject themselves to even more ped testing.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 42 min ago [Title] kentucky...vs the field, take kentucky [Body]

Output: Imho officiating would have a lot to do with Kentucky losing. Meaning this team just bullies opponents inside. So, unless we get a crew that is calling a tight game against a solid shooting opponent like Duke, Virginia, Wisconsin, Arizona and maybe a couple others, Kentucky is going to roll this tournament. Kansas, being the next best team in that bracket is weak. They don't play consistent ball at all and do not have a player capable of taking over a game against Kentucky. If they make it at all. ND doesn't have the size to stay with kentucky so they get rolled if they make it. By bracket, Kentucky is automatically in the final 4, so imho it's a 2 game tournament for Kentucky.

Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Title] The spring game/practice [Body]

Output: The spring game which is realy a glorified practice is not the place to determine anything about the 2014 team. Talk to anyone that has attended an actual practice to tell you the story rather than reading something from someone who never attended any of the practices. Don't take too much out of spring because after spring summer workouts and fall camp you will then find out who has put the time in all off season. Spring you get some info on what is going on. Best news out of spring is the dline looks far better as a group right now and the players fitting the responsibilities of the 4-3 over better has payed off for them. So, we will wait till the first game of the season and see how that matches up. O Line has been hit/miss but will wait and see again.

Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Title] Win respect [Body]

Output: In sports you earn/win your respect. Florida is getting respect due to how they are playing and the fact their coach has to titles. They have done it. Ky is getting respect because the program is tops in bball, and they just won a title 2yrs ago and have top talent now, just very young and you see them growing up infront of us this tournament and the sec tournament. Michigan, hasn't seen a ton of respect this tournament namely becuase the 3 stars from last yr's run are either in the nba, or injured now, mcgary! So looking at our games agianst msu and wisconsin it's obvious our team can be pushed inside. Hence, tennessee being the popular pick due to their length at the perimeter and strength of their inside game. Msu, getting a ton of respect now getting their top inside players back and msu looking like an izzo team again. Like ky, they are playing very well and the team has taken big steps the last few weeks. Hence they became the hot pick to win it all. Wisconsin, has beaten 2 teams nobody thought they actually would given the matchups. Big10 just earned a ton of respect all 3 beating teams that were considered tough matchups for each team. All 3 into the elite 8! They won the nations respect as a conference. I'll say this, it doesn't matter who wins the national title as far as conference strength is concerned. I never got that arguement... alabama wins in football to me has no bearing. Fsu won it in football this yr and doesn't remotely convince me that the acc was the best. This yr sec 0-2 in bcs games and acc is 2-0 with the national title...who here thinks the acc is a better football conference? Same in basketball... Florida could win the tournament or kentucky, wouldn't remotely convince me the sec is a better bball conference than big10, big12, acc or pac12!

Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Title] Me, nobody, maize man, not sure, [Body]

Output: All I can tell you is I have been to spring practice with maizeman, know him and he does work for the athletic department which is how he is in. He expresses his views from what he see's. Coachbt, he is a hs coach from the toledo area that attends every coaches clinic and also gets to attend a couple practices as a result. Eroc, knows maizeman and has gone to many practices via maizman. They all have developed relationships within the athletic department. I have met many other posters that attend the coaches clinic, that have ties to the athletic department via friendships of ad employees, former players, coaches and boosters. Know a couple that are big boosters. Am I an insider, not remotely. But as I stated last yr I did go to a couple practices with maizeman and know very well he has access to the staff, players and practices as it isn't a claim it is a fact. The guys that want to insult my writing, wgaf what you think, I shared something I have actually seen, know and witnessed. You, you bitch and complain about others who shared and wasn't trying to charge anyone money for doing so. So, wtf ever


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Title] You don't know what I thought! [Body]

Output: I stated an undefeated osu should have been in over a 1 loss sec team. That I stated, that I believe of any bcs team. If you are going to post my thoughts at least know them. I stated the sec is over rated in that 1 loss sec teams deserve to be in the title game over undefeated teams. Get your head out of your tail about my thoughts.


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Title] and you guys insult their writing….. [Body]

Output: And you guys insult their writing and analysis. Kind if does... reeealllyl.... I went to spring practice last yr with maizeman. He does have access. The two practices I saw last yr, Ross was playing awesome and was the best defensive player on the field. I got to see Countess doing drills and knew last yr was going to be rough as a man corner for him. Offense, Darboh and Chesson looked better than Funchess....and you didn't see Gallon do anything. Jake Ryan was on crutches and he was everywhere encouraging the defense and lbers.... So, while you all accuse them of knowing nothing I can vouch for them not that it means anything as I don't personally know any of you all. But, everything i saw fit to what happened last season. Run game sucked, interior oline just wasn't what I thought it would be and the dt's were a work in progress. Honestly last season I was fooled by the nd game though. I thought they would lose that game and end up with 10 wins losing to either Osu or Nw as the other loss opposite nd. I thought nd was better than what they showed in that game. Ross was not close to the player he showed in spring, Darboh's injury really hurt, oline burzynski's injury really hurt. Bosch was the best technically of all the tr fr and rs fr oline, however Braden was physiclaly awesome and starting at LG all spring. That was last yr... So, reports on spring practices remember, they are practicing against their own team and get used to the calls of the other side of the ball and the player infront of them. So, you have to take it with a grain of salt and realize the reports are just that. Mixed opinions of what they see. I was at practice and had some disagreement maizeman's analysis. But that is also why I try to put what coach bt says along with maizeman and come up with what's in the middle. Both attend practices, both know the coaching staff far more than you guys would like to admit. So sit back, enjoy your beer threads, btw, bells two harted, madtree gnarly brown and guiness are still the best beers on the planet!


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Title] Have known a few d1 players that used. [Body]

Output: All of them said the same things. Coaches push them to get better, if you only were bigger, if you were just a bit stronger if you were quicker, faster.... Always pushed them and compared to best players on the team. Natural right... the message would be clear, get better or go elsewhere... it's up to you... They would make sure they knew well in advance of testing. Don't fail the tests, we don't want any athlete failing tests... this is when the test is... don't fail the tests.. continually repeated over and over adnauseum. They would also say, you could tell who was and who wasn't. Abnormal weight gain is not going from hs s&c to college elite s&c. Normal weight gain is about 15lbs of muscle over 1yr period of time. 20 can happen but he had to work out a whole heck of a lot more than just the last 4 months from january through spring ball!!! Guys putting on weight is normal, 25+ lbs of ripped shredded weight and he is juiced! But there are a lot more ped's than just testosterone. Hgh, blood doping for endurance, beta blockers for focus that many qb's will use, students will use... which I have no problem with.. but they all use them.

Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] ad ... [Body]

Output: Is the increase for more support staff needed? I wouldn't think everyone just received a 62% pay increase though some may have been given a pay increase to match the going rate of their position. In that case it is needed... for any and all. For me the questions are.. Is the ad financially living within the budgets set? Are they making more money than they are spending? Are building for the success of the athletic programs now and in the future? And last, with the expansion of the athletic campus and all the related projects have they been able to meet the financial burden of those projects and continue to sustain for the future. The obvious to that is yes. It has to continue as well. I am sure that Brandon and company see what concerns the donors/alumni/ticket holders have. I would bet they will be quick to back off it they reach the tipping point. Something was posted on another board via an alumni function last spring where Dave Brandon spoke. At length he spoke about the goals of winning the bigten, bcs and national title in football as the best ways to increase revenue and the last one by far has the biggest impact. He cited the effect it had on other universities that have won football national championships and how much it increased cash flow into the athletic department of those schools. So, that is the goal.....


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Title] Consider, Michigan hosted them [Body]

The family, osu fans/grads yeah they could have taken the osu hats off but who cares about that to be honest. imho it showed michigan is above all that!

Howard was out, streets was battling a hammy. Forgot all about that........ Reminds me of how good they were to keep overcoming everything. On offense, overcame some bad turnovers and field position the 2nd half. Got enough points with limited offense and still won. Defense just took over that game!

Output: Far too many athletic depts have done this and pro teams as well...... A friend of mine a 20yr season ticket holder for the bengals of all teams had good seats and paid the psl when they built pbs in cincy. He paid that psl and then got moved to lesser seats only to find the corperate buyers were buying blocks of good seats and he got moved as a result...add to that, they didn't refund the difference in the psl they charged to the rate for the seats he was given. I haven't heard michigan do this to season ticket holders yet so long as they paid the donation...however it has been done I am sure. Really sucks.....

Ncaa investigates and there is clear evidence that the Head coach lied, covered up student athletes actions to keep them eligible to win more football games to make a bcs bowl or bcs championship game. Ncaa, did they follow their own by laws to punish ohio st? No, they let ohio st walk with minimal penalty as the head coach clearly broke the rules. What did ohio st do, they fired the head coach and said this is all on him. Ncaa what did they do, they gave minimal punishment and didn't at all charge ohio st with the crime of lack of institutional control as defined by a coach knowing about extra benefits and hiding them. No, they got minor charges a few scholarships and a 1 year bowl ban. So, now let me add, North Carolina with proven academic fraud, Auburn had a players family take nearly $200,000 that we know and the ncaa dismissed the investigation, Oregon paying people to send recruits to their school, Miami fl and that fiasco and several more I am forgetting to mention............................... The ncaa cannot even keep it's own house clean and yet you and everyone else thinks it's okay for them to punish pennst for something that didn't involve a single student athlete, or coach at the university. Now, before you rip me, Sandusky was not a football coach when the known incident happened. Now, the ncaa jumping in on this is like the department of education going and grabbing a drug dealer and stealing, ie fining him every dime he has because he sold drugs on school grounds before the fbi could arrest him.............it isn't their jurisdiction no matter the crime commited. Even worse it was obvious what the ncaa's motive was, and it sure as heck wasn't to do the right thing. The right thing Pennst, should have settled immediately with all victims and offered every victim full tuition education or pay off all student loans for those who already had grown and gone to college. Pennst should have offered to pay for or repay all expenses for therapy incurred to the victims. IE, pennst needs to make it right for the victims completely, that is the right thing to do. Ncaa, had no business in this, they had no intention of doing any thing right for the victims and their fighting with the state of pa over the 60million proves I am right. They thought they had a money grab and I am glad the state of pa shoved that right up the ncaa's arse and said no, that money will stay in state and go to childrens charities. Pennst the unveristy should pay a price, but rather it's football or not idk, I first and foremost believe the punishment should have come from the dept of education and dept of justice to put away those responsible and then put down further punishment on the university as they saw fit.

Output: But I thik it's retarded to punish the football program and fanbase, alumni and everyone else involved with football or the university that had zip to do with this, which is everyone outside of the few people that actually knew and 4 in charge that could have done something about it. The rioting that is the football culture of not wanting to believe the icon had something to do with covering it up. A case, although extremely weak that paterno reported it to superiors is true but he also was proven to have influenced not reporting it to 2nd mile and to the state police and arresting sandusky......so that blows that out of the water. My opinion of Joepa is forever changed as his rep was built on great character the do it right kind of person to lead young men. That's gone, but it doesn't mean the university shouldn't be able to move on and build what should have been. Pennst deserves punishment and has got that punishment from the ncaa, I just don't think the ncaa had any business or place doing it. IE, they went to clean pennst's house and they can't even clean their own as though they had moral authority. Tell me when the ncaa went to nd, msu or any other campus to investigate sex crimes alleged by athletes? The dept of justice and dept of education are the entities that should have handled this and should have told the ncaa to get out of their way period. On another note, before anyone goes high moral standard about pennst and covering this up, the very reason the laws about reporting sex crimes on any federal funded university, high, middle or elementary school is in the books is because of this very reason. How many times have we heard complaints over the years of colleges sweeping rapes under the rug to keep crime statistics down. That happened at so many places across the country it is disgusting, and just as disgusting as what happened at pennst. Or athletes raping girls and getting away with it and the girls intimidated or forced to leave school for their safety all to protect the program because said player may help them win games. Those are the reasons these laws do exist. But has the ncaa ever investigated one of those that are actually involving student athletes? Never, so a case they had no business in they jumped on for media attention and a 60 million dollar money grab. Yes that money was forced to stay in the state of pa and that was after the state told the ncaa it wasn't allowing that money to go elsewhere as all funds at psu are considered state funds if the university is to pay out money. The ncaa in it's briliance tried to argue it was athletic dept funds not univerisity funds. So you see where their real motive was!


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] I realize my opinion isn't popular that's fine [Body]

Output: From 2002 Pennst, namely the 4 people who allowed it are culpable. Not the 40,000 who had nothing to do with this as they can't do a dang thing about rumor or innuendo, but the people who had real knowlege, Spanier, Shultz, Paterno, McQueary and his dad and one other I am forgetting could have, should have and didn't! They are the ones to be punished, put in prison for a cover up. Punishing the football program and saying the ridiculous things about blowing up the stadium is just retarded. It doesn't do a dang thing to fix what happened or punish the actual cuplprits. As they are the ones who allowed Sandusky to use the brand, facilities and anything else. 60million was only to stay in the state for children after the state of pa said it wasn't leaving and told the ncaa as much. Ncaa tried to fight it, so what does that tell you about their motive. 2002 was a real incident, no more rumor and inuendo. And the people that covered it up need to pay the price, I will always say that. They deserve prison as well, all of them. Just like anyone who knew a Michigan professor was harboring child porn....should pay the price. Not the pennst program that had nothing to do with this.


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] Ncaa is full of it and needs to be sued! [Body]

Output: Ncaa was way out of bounds to punish PSU as not one single by-law was broken regarding student athletes. Second, Ncaa had zero interest in what was right. They saw a money grab, ie $60 million dollar fine! For what? To go to who, to do what with? Tell me I am wrong cause they sure as heck was not giving a dime of that money to the victims. Not one person of the 4 who knew of the incidents are around at all. NCAA went back to 1998 which was bs because that investigation found nothing and Sandusky was forced to step down. There was nothing anyone could do legally at that point. The legal system coudln't do anything so what was pennst going to do other than what they did at that point. 2002 the McQueary deal, from then on Jopa and company were responsible for covering up for a friend. It had nothing to do with protecting football as the ncaa had no boundary. And if paterno turns in a friend then and the chief of campus police acts, they are hero's for doing the right thing.....and what would have happened to football? Nothing, so stop the bs it was to protect football it was to protect a life long friend by joepa. Pull your heads out of the cloud that the culture of football did this, it was one friend protecting another cause nothing else was on the line. That happens every day in our society across many fronts including criminal. Ncaa is a joke, I hope pennst sues and wins against the ncaa. Now, Pennst deserves to face what ever punishment as a university from the Dept of Education for not reporting this as required by law. But again, why punish anyone and everyone who is not there for something that they didn't do. Who deserves to be punished. Joepa, and the other 3 that covered this. Not the 40,000+students and facualty. Not the football players and coaches that have nothing to do with this. And I read tear down beaver stadium, seriously. Michigan just had a professor with child porn that wasn't immediately reported, uhmmm do you want to destroy the entire university and rip building down by building for this? Cause that is illogical thinking. Oh, Sandusky, lets not forget, he is the criminal and deserves life in prison and everything that goes with that. EIther general population or solitary, idk either way......

Output: Glassgow didn't help chip, push the nt, Miller was beat at the snap by the nt, the de gets upfield and holds contain forcing the play to stay inside. Kalis is lost and doesn't know wtf to do and doesn't block anyone.... If Kalis sets the backside block there is a cutback for Fitz and a good lane there as well. If Glassgow helps chip on the nt and gets the nt flowing without penetration then he can scrape to the lber. If Kalis blocks his lber or finds someone to block there is a cut back. If the TE gets to the de and doesn't let him penetrate the hole to go through is either much bigger or there is room for Fitz to bounce. No matter what, this play was blown up from the snap! This happened all game long!
