Output: Threats of violence are always harmless and innocent, until they aren't.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Gravity can affect time [Body]

Output: Gravity can affect time (relativity links space and time together.) For instance, the clock in GPS sattelites have to slightly correct themselves because they're much farther from the center of the Earth than we are. Now multiply that factor by a huge number (black holes are really massive,) and you have the time dilation of being near a black hole.

Output: Since it doesn't stop solid objects, it won't be much good at helping our passing defense. Protecting the fans from the shock wave of a Jabrill Peppers tackle, on the other hand, would be a worthwhile endeavor.

Output: Not really sure we need to concern ourselves with signing another DB. All I'm really concerned with at this point is Treadwell. It'd be nice to get Green as well but we can always pick up an elite back in next years class.


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Being a Kent State grad, I'm [Body]

Output: Being a Kent State grad, I'm pretty familiar with Ohio (not that Ohio). They are streaky behind the arc, very quick, and athletic. They rank near the top of NCAA in steals. When their shots are dropping they can be a load. At the same time, they dont' really have a lot of height under the rim and rely almost exclusively on their guards to make plays. I'm still trying to decide whether I like this matchup. Additional Note: Walter Offutt, a transfer from Ohio (yes that Ohio), plays for Bobcats. He has had a very good year and was a regular contributor for Buckeyes as a freshman.

Output: I spoke with an Ohio fan who explained (a) Michigan's O-Line haul in 2012 and thus far in 2013 is irrelevant because Ohio garnered the top D-Line class in 2012. And (b) the commits with offers from both schools chose MIchigan because they didn't have "Commitable" offers from Ohio State. He can't seem to accept that Hoke and the UM staff have beat Meyer to the punch on several recruits (getting in early). Discussing football and recruiting with Ohio fans sometimes reminds of of talking to my 9 year old nephew.

Output: This is good news! We'll have an opportunity to see BWC and QWash tonight, albeit against a weak offensive front. Pipkins will need to step it up EARLY next year as we will need him in a relief role at the very least, possibly as a starter.


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Title] I like them. Looking back I [Body]

Output: I like them. Looking back I recall the stripes on the sleeves of the away jerseys. Aside from some of the finer details such as the numbers they do look much better on the players. I can only hope that the white pants are NEVER EVER worn again however. I have spoken with a few friends this week and, according to principle, I understand the reticence to accept this alternative jersey thing. In many ways I completely agree. Yet, it appears to be a vogue marketing and recruiting tool and hey, at least the three different looks we've sported haven't made us look like complete clowns (uh MSU, MD, OR)


Input: [Date] 3 years 33 weeks ago [Title] I just spoke to a friend of [Body]

Output: I just spoke to a friend of mine who grew up in Pittsburgh. His words were "Pitt needs to fire their AD immediately." First, the moron hired Haywood without conducting a background check and thus was unaware that he had been arrested on domestic assault charges. Next, he chooses Graham over Bradley.

Input: [Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Body] "1234" would be the perfect jersey number... they would never have to worry about it being worn by anyone, its as generic as it gets and it would open the door to other popular jerseys numbers such as 1243,1324, 1342, 1423, 1432, 2134, 2143, 2314, 2341, 2413, 2431, 3124, 3142, 3214, 3241, 3412, 3421, 4321, 4231, 4123, 4132, 4231, 4213.... now if they really want to get creative they could use consecutive numbers like 1111, 2222, 3333, 4444 or even better use symbols such as !,@,#,$ [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] Marty may or may not be one of the killer, however, I found ties to religion and the type of women Marty associates himself with parallel with Dora's death. - The Women: Based on his reaction to the girl cheating on him and meeting the guys that messed around his with daughter, he definitly shows he has the rage to do some pretty crazy shit. Cohle also describes the type of girl Dora would've been in the first episode. The description sounds a lot like the girls Marty hooks up with. Also, note the conversation and reaction Marty had with the whore boss. She either read him pretty well or knew him from before. - Ties Religion: Rust invokes religion during episode 3 (i believe) and we see Marty freak out. In his defense it was dark, but it was a touchy subject for him. We also find that Marty found religion during his marriage from his ex-wife interview and if you play poker, you'll see for a second Marty shows his poker face when they bring up Tuttle death. He also leaves the room after he finds out that they believe Cohle is behind it somehow (I think he really left because he was involved behind Tuttle death and was going to let one of the other members know that Cohle was on to them). My point here is that religion has a big part of the dora's death and I see Marty hiding his views on it very well... I also think thats a reason why Ledux was shot. He said he saw Cohle in his dreams... maybe the guy was on LSD or something when Marty was trying to warn the others about Rust...also its ironic that they get a lead on the iron "crusaders" and it just so happens that they had cop uniforms and a suicide mission the same day Cohn visits them? [Title]

Output: two reasons why Marty could be a killer...

What's ironic about what Foote is saying and the Irish jumping ship, is that havent they lowered their standards to make room to play teams like BC, WF, GT.... If you asked, Im sure they care less about standards if it means they can increase the lead in all time winning percentage. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Body] Bad influences are found on every college campus. If they were to say FSU/OSU had a coaching staff that they trusted would protect their child from making the wrong decisions is one thing, but to just come out and say leaving the state will protect their son from being surround by bad influences almost comes across like you're throwing in the towel as a responsible parent.

Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Body] Its true kids are impressionable and other schools may challange their paradigms, but if your program has it all vs all the others, does it really take a great sales pitch to sway you away from your dream?!

No question theres so much to consider, which is why I enjoyed reading some of the comments on this thread. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Body] The thing I dont understand is if a kid grew up loving a program, it offered everything they needed and they had the opportunity to play in that uniform and stadium, why would they all of a sudden decommit or consider someplace else? Seriously, I want to hear about kids are kids and its different these days (we were all 18 at some point). If your favorite program gave you everything you needed (academics, playing time, facilities...) why would need to reconsider? That's why I love kids like Morris and Ferns who appreciate the opportunity they have. [Title]

The #2 ranked player in the country has commited to the 2014 class, 69% of this years class is either a 4 or 5* vs last year when we were we finished at 62% of the class ranked at either a 4/5*, a MSU recruit decommited to join the class, were recruiting nationally with 11 of the 16 recruits are outside of Michigan/Ohio. Looking at 2015, I see 2 of the 4 current commits being 4* and if we can win with the 2012/2013 recruits I see us in the mix for more. [Title]

Our freshman RB were better at blocking and running than Toussaint, who had years to develop the skill and understand the scheme. Senior RB's are expected to block well and the example of Vincent Smith is a perfect example of which.... You could say Toussaints shortfall at this skill was a result of poor coaching, but I truly believe it was more of a case that he didnt like to block. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] I think you're being a little dramatic... Gardner came out to play against ohio and I'm not going to discredit his numbers against Indiana, but look up the numbers Purdue put up against them, I believe it was pretty close to 500 yds passing in that game as well. The interceptions dropped, but do you want to explain the fumbles and yards for loss that continued to get worse and cost us games (btw, 2-4 was our record in the final 6 games). Your boisterous comments on the topic, lead me to believe you feel that Gardner is a lot better of a player than Morris, but all I'am saying is that I dont think their is. A lot will change between now and next season, but if they are almost equal going in I would rather see the younger player develop and gel with the other players, which happens to be young. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] Im not 100% sold that Gardner is that much better... Dynamic? Absolutely. Overall skill better? Im not so sold.. Also, its pretty obvious Gardner was frustrated in himself and regressed every week. Frustration will not keep us competitive and its contagious (hence, comments from players after the BWW bowl game). All I'm saying is that if Morris has a year like Gardner did last year, it's going to benefit us more the following year than if Gardner as another year like he did. My point with the recruits is that the coaches need to show that they can develop and win games with the players they've recruited. I think a player like George Campbell needs to see that. [Title]

Output: Im not 100% sold that Gardner

Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] IMO, Gardner has a better opportunity playing WR in the NFL than QB. Let the Morris era begin... As far as 2013 vs 2014, I agree that the group coming in has a higher ceiling and can see Harris and Darboh compete for some major playing time... [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] Following that 97 season we had two WR"s that were drafted 3rd and 5th overall when they entered the draft... Drew Henson who ended up cutting his football career short to play for the yankees and with the defensive players we were developing every year I thought we were bound for another Heisman... Call me crazy but Mattison is the type of coach that will develop a Heisman winner and lets not forget Derrick Green will be running behind a very strong line a year or two from now... Our expectations never changed after the 97 season and they shouldn't... We've had some disappointing seasons since, but looking at who we've recruited I truly believe we could see another Heisman winner within the next 5 years. [Title]

Did you forget that in 2011 DUKE won the conference championship before winning the title? If you lived in the triangle long enough you should also know that being called the #1 ranked school is kind of a big deal... helps in recruiting and more importantly it helps the rivalry. UNC/Duke are great academic institutions and are always contending for a national championship in basketball, but an honest assement (unbiased) is that UNC fans tend to be more knowledgable about there program than Duke fans. Your post is the perfect example why. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] A week after throwing for a career high in yardage [Body]

Output: A week after throwing for a career high in yardage, some people want to jump all over the kid.... after a win no less. Remember, Roundtree got caught from behind last week on what was TD pass #4 for Denard. Add in the drops by receivers and the fact that he did not play the whole game, and Denard could easily have passed for 340 plus yards against 4 TDs and 2 INTS last week. Sure the weather effected his throwing yesterday. Not saying it was all weather related but anyone who has played quarterback at a fairly high level would know that weather does play a significant factor in your success. Moreover, it has been a long season. First all the Heisman talk then all the talk of how this team can't win in Big 10 play. All those things take a toll on player.... especially a first year starter. Denard was bound to reach whats commonly referred to in other circles as a "rookie wall". And if this is his wall, over the last few weeks he has still been playing pretty well as he battles through it. Rich Rod cautioned people after Denard's early success. He warned us that as a first year starter, he would have periods where he would struggle. In our Heisman giddiness we hardly paid attention to those words from RR. Well, he was right. But this has been hardly unexpected. I expected it, many you probably expected it and I know the coaches expected it, so why panic now that we see what was expected? Patience people.... patience. Denard is just a Sophomore, and considering the tremendous leap that he has made from year 1 to year 2, his best days are likely ahead of him. Last sobering thought: Is there a better Sophomore quarterback in the country? Maybe... maybe not. But Denard is certainly in that discussion. ...


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Yes, he had incredible measurables. But more than that [Body]

Output: Yes, he had incredible measurables. Like you correctly pointed out, "once in a century". But more than that, his feel for the game, vision and instincts were off the charts. There were times it seemed like he had eyes in the back of his head. Just an incredible talent. A born running back. Without a doubt, he had the potential to be the best ever.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Agreed. The 2 long passes to Roundtree [Body]

Output: Agreed. The 2 deep passes to Roundtree were right on target and beautifully laid out there for him. Showing marked improvement in touch. The second long one to Roundtree easily could have been his 4th TD pass if Roy didn't get tracked down from behind. Still, great play by both guys.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] The coaches often have Denard [Body]

Output: Great point about more CEO's being introverts. That said, the coaches often have Denard entertain recruits. Probably more than any other player. So whether he is an "I" or an "E" there can be little doubt that he is a charismatic guy with great leadership skills.

Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] I have always been impressed with Avery [Body]

Output: I have always been impressed with Avery this year. The kid competes, is always around the ball, is rarely out of position and has great hips to stay with receivers. And that tackle against Sheelhaase was one of those things that you can drill on all day everyday but it really can't be taught. If you could teach it, all of our players would be capable of making that play. And as we know from this year, they really haven't been able to do it. That was pure football instinct. And Avery has it. Even on the one play where he got beat, he was right there. Unlike some of our other corners who get turned around and badly beaten, I haven't seen that out of Avery at all this year. This young man is a keeper who will only get better with experience.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Just noticed [Body]

Output: Just noticed my double "pass" gaffe in my post above. Multi-tasking while at work can do that. Anyhow, that pass play was awesome. Go Blue!


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] That was my favorite too [Body]

Output: That was my favorite too. I kept yelling for Denard to run the ball because it was wide open for him. Then at the last minute he threw a frozen rope to Junior and for Junior to, first of all, catch that lazer was amazing. Then for him to use some nifty sideline footwork to turn that play into a touchdown was simply awesome. The Tate pass to Junior pass which bounced around at the goal line would have to rank next - one of the few times all year that fortune has favored this team. Followed by the Vinopal stuff.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Denard and Tate both played a whale of a game yesterday [Body]

Output: Denard and Tate both played a whale of a game yesterday. I was particularly pleased with Denard and his growth and maturity as a passer. Some of his throws were simply outstanding. If you add in the easy dropped passes..... he was really 14 for 20 with somelike like 325 yards (conservatively, adding in the dropped passes). And if Roundtree had a little more speed, he would have had 4 touchdown passes. All of that said, I agree.... sometimes these guys just need to take the easy yardage. I think that will come in time.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Speaking of mentors, I bet Denard [Body]

Output: Speaking of mentors, I bet Denard has been a huge mentor to Tate. If for no other reason than Tate watching Denard and how he always give deference to his teammates and makes everything more about team instead of himself. Just being around a person like that can be huge for a young man's (Tate) maturity and development. Gotta love this young team and how they work together. And you have to feel good for Tate. He waited patiently, played team ball and was justly rewarded for it yesterday.

Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Vinopal is a fan favorite [Body]

Output: Vinopal is a fan favorite and should be. The kid is blue collar and is fighting against the odds. America always loves an underdog. That said, he looked in above his head last night. Missed tackles and blown off the ball by blockers. He can potentially be a good one but right now he should probably be taking a red-shirt. It is a shame that we have to rush him into action because we have virtually zero options at that position. Carvin did not show much as well last night. Probably another guy who should be taking a red-shirt. Why MRob not seeing the field remains a mystery which points more and more to the fact that he must be viewed as a liability in pass coverage. LB here he comes. On a positive note, I have been quite impressed with Courtney Avery. In limited action, he has been able to stay with his man and use his hips very well. Terry Talbot made a bad play last night but has shown some ability to cover as well. Those 2 corners may end up being pretty good for us.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] We need to stick with RR and fire [Body]

Output: We need to stick with RR and fire Gerg. Much like Illinois did with Zcrook. That is a completely different team with new coordinators.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Iowa game planned against Denard for 2 weeks [Body]

Output: Iowa game planned against Denard for 2 weeks. And he is still among the leaders in the nation in pass %. Moreover, one of the throws by Tate to Junior was underthrown and into double coverage, requiring the defender to fall down and for Junior to make a play on the ball or else that would have been interception # 3 for Tate. Possibly even more troubling, Tate continues to carry the ball like a loaf of bread and is a turnover waiting to happen unless he cures that very bad habit. I think things stay the way they are. Rich Rod is a pretty solid guy who is not given to whimsy or flights of fancy. No knock on Tate but RR knows what he has in Denard and will continue to cultivate his monster talent. Things will not change UNLESS Denard physically can't go. ...


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Denard [Body]

Output: If you look solely at the way Denard threw the ball BEFORE the last 2 weeks, would you still feel that way? Maybe, maybe not. But whether you feel either way about this question, the gap in your decision would not been as large as it may be today.... today after 2 sub par games. So really, the question is, why are such rash judgments being made after 2 sub par games? Why are blanket statements and blanket conclusions being drawn after just 2 sub par games? Before the last 2 games, Denard was making every throw.... long, short, slants, you name it. He was actually throwing the deep ball better than I have ever seen Tate throw the deep ball. As Coach Rod said after the Indiana game regarding Denard's deep ball, "his completion % on those deep throws is actually very good". And Denard is still among the leaders in the nation in overall completion %. Denard is merely going through a slump right now. Something that tends to happen with all young quarterbacks. You have to stick with them and let them play their way out of it. ...


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] I don't know about that [Body]

Output: I don't know about that. I understand being excited about Tate but a little perspective is in order. Tate's decision making yesterday was not all that great. Not saying that Denard's was either but I don't see how any reasonable person can say one has better decision making than the other. Case in point: Tate really should have had 3 picks yesterday. That ball that he threw into double (possibly triple) coverage (the first pick), the ball that he threw into double coverage (the second pick), and the ball thrown to Junior in double coverage which was clearly underthrown and right to the Iowa defender. How that Iowa defender does not come up with the ball is beyond me and was completed due to what seemed to be a combination of poor footwork by the Iowa defender and the tenacious ability of Junior to fight for the ball. But if that Iowa defender gets his footwork together, plants himself and comes forward he catches that ball because he was much closer to it.... but instead he fell backward. In short, from a coaching stand point, all 3 decisions were poor. And for the life of me, I still can't understand why Tate carries the ball like a loaf of bread. Jeez.... you would think that in all this time he would finally have gotten that corrected. The way he runs around back there carrying the ball like a loaf of bread is a fumble waiting to happen. That said, overall, I think Tate did a good job. Certainly better than Denard yesterday who seems to being going through something of a slump. But to say one makes better decisions than the other is merely opinion devoid of the facts imo. Both of these guys have made poor decisions.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Denard was not at his best [Body]

Output: Denard was not at his best but I don't think Denard's play was necessarily the problem. He rushed for over 100 yards and threw the ball fairly well (decent not great) but the bigger problem seemed to be the playcalling and penalties that keep killing drives. Some of the playcalling has been highly suspect of late and a number of times we marched the ball down the field (getting 7 yard runs on 1st down, moving the ball) only to have penalties back us up and kill drives. I wouldn't be so quick to change quarterbacks after a couple of sub par games. Every quarterback has ups and downs.... particularly young ones. You have to let them play through it.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] I think Tate had an advantage [Body]

Output: I think Tate had an advantage in that he had not been game planned for. Iowa had been game planning for Denard for 2 weeks. Moreover, Denard has not been anywhere near 100% lately. The bye week could not have come at a better time for Denard.


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Denard is in the best position [Body]

Output: Denard is in the best position. I don't care if he is ranked 1st or ranked 5th.... if he puts together a couple of big games against some of the better Big 10 defenses, and plays solid in the other games, based upon his numbers, the fact that he has broken records this year and the publicity that he has gotten, he would likely win it. Although cases can be made for other players, for most non-homers, Denard is the first person that comes to mind when thinking about the Heisman.


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Without knowing more facts [Body]

Output: Without knowing more facts, it is hard to tell whether he is a criminal or just a very bad business man - guy who let his ego get out of control but maybe a guy who actually had good intentions when he started out but got in over his head. Again, I say that based upon the ESPN segment - meaning, without more facts. The fact that he actually flew down to Jamaica a number of times shows that he had some type of "intent" to create the vacation resort. And then his business partner ran out of money. And his partner was supposed to be the guy with the "deep pockets" on the deal. Thus, that left Rumeal holding the bag sort of speak. There can be little excuse for the strip club charges and a few of the other exhorbitant purchases however. And one thing is clear, the guy is a selfish jerk. There is no excuse for him to treat his mother the way he did.


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Coach Rod can't catch a break from the media [Body]

Output: Coach Rod can't catch a break from the media. All the guy has ever done is care about young men, be a stickler about going to class, run a tight ship regarding keeping kids on the straight and narrow (very few discipline problems), and make a mistake that most teams have made regarding practice time.... and for his reward all he gets is demonized at every opportunity. The guy has to live up to an impossible standard - perfection. When I look at what he looked like when he took this job (youthful and vibrant) vs. what he looks like today (vibrant but hardly youthful anymore), sadly, in 3 short years Coach Rod's face has become a roadmap which shows the enormous pressure this guy has been under. He is a good human being. He deserves better


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] I never said [Body]

Output: I never said he would be stuck on the bench. I said that he may be a #2 or change of pace. And as we all know, once you are a #2 and prove yourself, you can always end up as the starter. It happens all the time in the NFL.


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Ummm..... not to split dreadlocked [Body]

Output: Ummm.... not to split dreadlocked hairs or anything. But students have had stood eyeball to eyeball with Denard put him at a solid 5'11". And Mel Kiper, Jr. said that he is 5'11 1/2". But of course you could be referring to Tay Odoms. Well, if that is the case..... my bad.


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] When you look at guys like Dennis Dixon [Body]

Output: When you look at guys like Seneca Wallace, Mike Vick, Dennis Dixon, or even Vince Young.... not saying he is as good as those guys yet.... but when you look at those guys at the same stage that Denard is at (2nd year player), they never came close to being as accurate as Denard is. Thus, I think it is safe to say that Denard can make it as an NFL QB. I think it is easy to be enamored with his explosiveness. But once Scouts see him throw the ball, I think they will come away very impressed. And there will likely be a Scout or GM with enough vision (like Rich Rod) to put him at quarterback. And once given a shot there, I would never bet against this kid.


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] They said the same thing when Denard came [Body]

Output: They said the same thing when Denard came out of high school. And Rich Rod saw what others didn't see and now he is rewriting the record books as a quarterback. And much like Rich Rod saw something the others didn't see, there will be a scout and/or GM that sees the same thing and goes against convention by putting him at quarterback in the NFL. And he will succeed there. Maybe not as an every down signal caller but definitely as a #2 or change of pace quarterback. And it should be noted that they said the same thing about former Iowa State quarterback Seneca Wallace. Scouts predicted that he would have to change to wideout. Scouts also said he was too small at 5'10 1/2". Seneca Wallace is now in his 8th year of playing quarterback in the NFL. And Denard is by far a better quarterback prospect than Seneca Wallace ever was.


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] I have noticed this too..... and the aplomb in which he does it [Body]

Output: I have noticed this too.... and the aplomb in which he does it. I am sure those reporters constantly have to do a double take and ask themselves, "did he just dodge me?" He is so smiling, unpretentious and non-offputting with it that you don't see it coming until it is too late. It is as if he is toying with them at times. A subtle dilithium shot. Left, right and gone!


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] The thing about that Mike Martin/Shoelace pic [Body]

Output: The thing about that Mike Martin/Shoelace picture, is it clearly shows Shoelace to be closer to his listed 6 foot than we were being led to believe by a few of the pundits and/or TV announcers earlier this year. I also noticed last week that as he was being helped off the field for the couple of plays that he missed with his sore knee, that when he stood up next to the Trainers, Denard appeared atleast as tall if not taller than them. And they were the Trainers who looked like they may have played ball at some point - not those little guys that you sometimes see. As many have reported here on Mgoblog (from in-person sightings), Denard is atleast a solid 5'11" .... and may very well be a legit 6 footer


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] And lets not forget that he hit the deep ball when he needed it [Body]

Output: And lets not forget that he hit the deep ball when he needed it. That deep pass to Hemingway with a 300 pound lineman about to tee off on him was money!!! Denard has guts! Most people would not have been able to get that pass off under those conditions.


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Wow..... have we gotten spoiled [Body]

Output: Wow.... have we gotten spoiled. The guy has connected on those passes all season long. He simply had an off game with the deep ball. It happens. See Jay Cutler and Eli Manning last night. Even Payton Manning and Drew Brees have been off and on with their deep passes this season.


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] He doesn't have to sustain it [Body]

Output: He doesn't have to sustain it. Even if he puts up numbers somewhere around 70 to75% of what he is putting up now, those will be some pretty incredible numbers.... and certainly enough to keep him the Heisman frontrunner. That said, 2 things will be his key: 1) stay healthy, and 2) keep coming up big in big moments. The guy has been clutch! He needs to keep that up. If he does, and if he stays healthy, he will win the Heisman.


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Is it just me or does the OP sound like [Body]

Output: Is it just me or does the OP sound like a guy who not a fan of Denard. As ElGuapo shrugs his shoulders at that utterly puzzling thought.... then goes, "oh well, haters are gonna hate!"


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] First player in HISTORY to pass for 200.... rush for 200 [Body]

Output: First player in HISTORY to pass for 200+ yards, and rush for 200+ yards twice in a season. If it is so easy to do, it would have been done before.


Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Title] Whats disturbing about Rock is [Body]

Output: Whats disturbing about Rock is not so much his lack of strength (because Barwis can bring that up) but his lack of speed, quickness, balance, anticipation, instincts and effort. Basically, all the other things that a football player needs, he appears to be lacking. You can coach up strength and possibly effort to some degree.... but the others you pretty much naturally have or you don't. Sheesh, I hope I am wrong.


Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Title] I understand where you are coming from. And.... [Body]

Output: I understand where you are coming from. And without question it is good to know that we have Tate ready to go who has polish and experience. And Devin (who really had 2 deep touchdown throws - one Hemingway dropped; the other called back by penalty) capable of filling in too and throwing lazers although he is still obviously learning on the job. But there is only one #16. I wrote this earlier: Although our backups are good players, there is only one #16. A guy with a 70% passing percentage who leads the entire nation in rushing.... a video game character. Those type of players come around only ONCE IN A LIFETIME and what they do for the image of the University..... what they do for recruiting and building a program.... lasts beyond a game or even a season. It is imperative that we keep Denard healthy. And any notion of "oh well, run him into ground because if he gets injured we have great backups waiting in the wings" is hubris devoid of perspective. Perspective of Denard means towards this season but more importantly, what Denard means to this program for the years (possibly even decade) that follows.


Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Title] Although our backups are good players, [Body]

Output: Although our backups are good players, there is only one #16. A guy with a 70% passing percentage who leads the entire nation in rushing.... a video game character. Those type of players come around only ONCE IN A LIFETIME and what they do for the image of the University..... what they do for recruiting and building a program.... lasts beyond a game or even a season. It is imperative that we keep Denard healthy. And any notion of "oh well, run him into ground because if he gets injured we have great backups waiting in the wings" is hubris devoid of perspective.

Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Title] Denard does it all [Body]

Output: I saw this posted elsewhere on a "free site" so I can't take credit for it but I thought it was pretty much spot on. Essentially, "Denard does it all". "The fact of the matter is, Denard does it all. I was having this discussion with my buddy yesterday and we both agreed that if you gave Denard the running ability of an "average college QB," it is still a high probability that he starts at QB for this team based strictly upon his throwing ability. DENARD IS EXTREMELY ACCURATE AND THROWS A GREAT DEEP BALL. Fact is, as much as other fans might try and tell us differently, Denard is a great passer. He is connecting on 70% of his passes and he has done it against solid competition for the most part. Add in his exceptional running ability and you now have weapon that is unheard of.... vis a vis a record breaking quarterback. A video game character. I also noticed the "tempo" of the offense is not the same with Tate or Devin out there. Brian Griese commented on this and he was right. It was almost as if Bowling Green was taking a breather without Denard in the game - despite the fact that they were still giving up points (Lol). The tempo of the offense slowed down considerably. Denard just puts sooo much pressure on a defense. Denard is a special quarterback people. And really, with his being able to do everything.... throw, run, lead... there is no need to substitute for him with the lone possible exception of wanting to give him an occasional break. Besides, I don't think Rich Rod will do it anyhow. Rich Rod knows what Denard means to this offense and, consequently, I highly doubt that we would ever see packages or the kind of tinkering with this offense that would see Devin of Tate consistently substitute in for him".


Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Title] I think that would be a classy move [Body]

Output: I think that would be a classy move. The kid has done a lot for this University. And I think it will happen too. I think we can do both.... help Devin maintain his confidence and show our appreciation to Tate. I don't think they are mutually exclusive. Hopefully we get up on the opponent enough so that both see plenty of action.


Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Title] You are entitled to your opinion my friend [Body]

Output: You are entitled to your opinion my friend. But no way do I risk tinkering with the confidence of the future franchise quarterback for Michigan. You obviously think nothing of that. That is where we differ.


Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Title] I think at some point we have to acknowledge [Body]

Output: I think at some point we have to acknowledge that Devin Gardner has feelings and emotions too. In 2 games so far, he was next up off the bench if Denard couldn't play. That has to build up an expectancy in a young player's mind. He now likely expects to be called 2nd. In all likelihood he has prepared himself mentally as the 2nd string quarterback. And unless he has done something to warrant demotion, you have to give him the call 2nd up or risk hurting the young guy's confidence.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] We have the most exciting player in the country [Body]

Output: The general consensus seems to be that we have the most exciting colleg football player in the country. For the first time in my lifetime, I am now reading SEC fans post things like, "I want to try and watch as many Michigan games as I can this year just to see Robinson play". And "boy, that Robinson sure is fun to watch". Add in a big play threat in Stonum, a reliable receiver in Roundtree and a back with big play potential in Shaw, and yes, I believe we arguably have the most exciting offense in the country.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Easy, easy there big fella. [Body]

Output: Easy, easy there big fella. For all practical purposes last year is irrelevant with respect to anyone but the players we have not seen this year. And we have seen Denard this year. And this year, he stands fearlessly in the pocket - that can't be denied. For the most part (because we have not seen him) we have to look at last year for Tate - and Tate's first instinct last year was to scramble - that also can't be denied. That said, who really knows how Tate would do today? Again, we haven't seen him. Maybe he would be different and change from his instincts of last year? Thats possible. But from what I recall of the Spring Game, he seemed to change very little. And we must remember, that although we haven't seen him, the coaches are seeing him every day. And they have likely made certain decisions based upon those observations.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] He displayed some serious touch and accuracy on [Body]

Output: He displayed some serious touch and accuracy on those deep passes last week.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Denard is a record breaking quarterback [Body]

Output: Denard is a record breaking quarterback. We can call the Heisman talk "hype" and yes, it is early, but lets also be sure not to go the other direction with this thing and try to downplay what Denard has done. Denard has worked his arse off, broken records and put up numbers that boggle the mind. Everything he is getting right now is deserved. He earned it wth his play on the football field.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Scouts often have divergent views [Body]

Output: Scouts often have divergent views on different players. For instance most scouts thought Seneca Wallace (Iowa State) was too short to play NFL QB. He is around 5'10". Most scouts predicted that he would have to switch positions in the NFL. But one scout saw things differently and guess what.... Wallace has been playing NFL QB for quite a few years now and proving all doubters wrong. Denard is very accurate as a passer. Has a gun and runs like a deer. And from personal accounts of his size, most say that he is atleast 5'11". But even if he is shorter (which I doubt) there will be an NFL team out there (much like there was with Wallace, Tebow, and few others) that will see his potential at QB (ironically, much like RR did) and give him his shot there..... and he is likely to impress. Being made of delithium and all, I would never bet against Denard. ...


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] I totally agree [Body]

Output: I totally agree. If a kid earns playing time, he should play. This team is woefully devoid of depth.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] 2 ways of looking at that [Body]

Output: 2 ways of looking at that. 1) If you want X player to help his college team long term then sure, we can have him longer if we redshirt him, but 2) if X player's college team needs him now, then why redshirt him if it is not going to cost the kid an NFL future? In other words, all things being equal, why look at winning 5 years from now when the kid can help us win today? Win today and 5 years from now the recruiting would have been so strong that X player essentially becomes replaceable. Lose now and recruiting dries up. Again, the one caveat being, that his playing today does not cost the kid an NFL future. And typically, with skill position players in particular, that NFL potential shows up long before a redshirt 5th year.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Isn't it extremely rare for a college player to improve by leaps [Body]

Output: Isn't it extremely rare for a college player to improve by leaps and bounds between his 4th year of college ball and his redshirt 5th year? In other words, if a kid has NFL potential, that usually shows up long before his redshirt 5th year. Thus, if playing him early is not going to cost him an NFL future, I am all for playing him.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Thats right, it was KSU [Body]

Output: Thats right, it was KSU. I got my schools mixed up. Thanks guys.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] I remember that too [Body]

Output: I remember that too. The peanut gallery is pretty rough out there tonight. -1 ??? Wow


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Just goes to show you why Lemming is not a coach and Rich Rod is [Body]

Output: Just goes to show you why Lemming is not a head coach and Rich Rod, Urban Meyer and guys like that are. They clearly saw things that Lemming couldn't see. Denard is passing the ball at 70% as far as accuracy. He is very accurate. Passing deep, passing short, doing it all and doing it all with touch where need be... and a rifle when he has to gun it. Denard simply didn't have the coaching before arriving at Michigan. The talent was always there. It merely had to be coached up.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Bb011 ...... gutsy post [Body]

Output: Bb011 ..... gutsy post. And I see where you are going with it. I think it is easy to be reactionary and bomb this guy for his post but if we can put emotions aside for a moment and see what he is saying, I think he raises some good points in an educated way as opposed to trying to flame and make his points. 1. Denard does throw the ball with more zip. 2. That zip does help on those bubble screens as they seem to be working much better this year. The ball is arriving earlier, consequently, the receivers have more room to make a play. 3. Denard throws a very accurate deep ball. 4. Denard is much more accurate than we ever could have imagined. His passing percentage is among the highest in the nation right now. 5. Tate always had the reputation for being accurate but we never saw it with his deep throws last year. 6. And with Tate's shorter throws, it does little good to be accurate on those throws if you can't get the ball there quick enough for the receiver to make a play with it. 7. Tate was not very fast but was somewhat elusive. He average 2 yards a carry last year. Not very productive in an offense where the quarterback is expected to make a major contribution to running attack. **All of that said, I think it does little good to compare Denard and Tate. They are both good quarterbacks but they both obviously have different skill sets.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Thanks Huss, I didn't realize they had a [Body]

Output: Thanks Huss, I didn't realize they had a similar back waiting in the wings. That is great to hear because Dyer is not very similar - more of compact power back with some speed.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Dyer appears to be a different type of runner than Dee [Body]

Output: In watching Dyer, it almost looks like he has gotten too muscle bound or something. He seems almost stiff. Good back but not as shifty, fast or fluid as Dee. I don't believe Dee would be all that intimidated by the prospect of competing with Dyer. Unless Dee told the interviewer what he wanted to hear (which I doubt) or unless that Rivals article is inaccurate (which is possible though not probable), I am concerned about Dee committing to us now. The info conveyed in that article does not bode well for us.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Great analysis [Body]

Output: Great analysis..... and would add that Denard clearly (imo) throws the ball with more zip than Pryor does. Denard has a rifle. Pryor still "shotputs" the ball quite a bit. And despite his arm strength, Denard has also shown that he can throw the ball with great touch. But I agree with you respect to distance.... although Pryor lacks the zip on his throws that Denard has, Pryor can throw the ball very far. Denard can do that as well but whether or not he can throw as far or further than Pryor is a matter for debate. But I love what I saw of Denard's deep game yesterday. He consistently laid it out there with great touch and accuracy. Yes, I am a homer, but I take Denard over Pryor. ...


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] 42 points [Body]

Output: 42 points.... no delay of game penalties.... Denard played great..... our running backs played great.... our Oline played great.... RR was clear in his press conference, the shifts did NOT confuse this offense.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] All Denard can do is place the ball where it is [Body]

Output: All Denard can do is place the ball where it is supposed to be placed. That being the case irrespective of who the DB is or isnt. And today, Denard did just that. Those deep balls could not have been thrown more perfectly.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] If they dare Denard to beat them in man [Body]

Output: If they dare Denard to beat them in man, that will be a major mistake. Denard showed today that he throws an outstanding deep ball with nice touch and great accuracy. That said, you may be right - teams may well try that strategy. But if they do, Denard will make them pay.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Denard made some tremendous deep throws today [Body]

Output: Denard made some tremendous deep throws today. He threw the deep ball with great touch and accuracy. I was very impressed by his performance today. Say goodbye to the theory that Denard can't beat you deep.


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Title] I looking at film on Griffin [Body]

Output: I looking at film on Griffin, I am not impressed. Imo Denard is faster.... and Denard is the better quarterback.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] 4.5 in full pads will be the fastest player [Body]

Output: 4.5 in full pads will be the fastest player on the football field every time. And that, as the OP pointed out, after running around the field for a while and taking hits before the sprint. That would also mean that he may, in fact, be a little faster than his purported 4.32 forty yard dash without pads. It has been a long time since I have a seen a guy consistently outrun the angles the way Denard does. This guy is simply scary fast!!!


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Just a side note: [Body]

Output: Just a side note: Denard is the first player in college football history to pass for 240 + yards and run for 240 + yards. Record setting performances will get great media coverage.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] The coverage is FANTASTIC!!! [Body]

Output: The coverage is fantastic!!!! After so much nagative coverage, this coverage is a welcome relief. Besides, things will somewhat even out over time. Denard quite simply has played as well as anyone IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY of college football. That type of performance deserves to be talked about. Denard deserves all the kodos he is getting right now. But can he keep that going?? Likely not at this level but fairly close. Thus, things will start to naturally even out a bit on their own. He will be talked about but a little less as the season goes along and he has those normal ups and downs that Coach Rod keeps telling us will come with such a young player. He will likely continue to be a Heisman contender - just less likely to keep breaking records every week. Thus we have to strike now while the iron is hot. We now have one of those rare players that we have seen periodlcally with other programs but have been wondering (ever since Woodson left) when we would land such a player again. Well now we have him. Denard and the media attention that he is getting is great for recruiting and great for national perception of the program. I say, enjoy every moment of it.... enjoy it while it lasts.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Tate had an easier job in many ways because [Body]

Output: Tate had an easier job in many ways because it is always easier to get yourself up to play sensational for one game rather than two games back to back. Denard had to do it for 2 games back to back. It is a much harder task to get up for and play great football back to back versus a UConn and ND (on the road mind you), than Western Mich and ND. The Western Mich game was somewhat equivalent to the UMass game we play this week. UConn was a legit opponent. This is no knock on Tate. I am just stating the facts. ...


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Last year we were at home. [Body]

Output: Last year we were at home. What Denard did on the road before a hostile crowd was simply remarkable. ....


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Denard will start and play until [Body]

Output: Denard will start and play until the game is in hand. Denard will primarily throw the ball and handoff to the RB's. Denard is the clear cut starter and there is no need to upset team chemistry by changing that now. Plus, Denard is just a second year player. As great as he has played, he could still use the work. According to the depth chart next up will be Devin. After that will be Tate. The coaches have clearly shown that by: a) the depth chart released today, and b) by the substitution pattern in previous games that they are serious about Devin being # 2. Any notion about Tate starting or getting snaps ahead of Devin simply flies in the face of facts as we know them today.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Michael Wilbon on PTI stated today that Denard [Body]

Output: Michael Wilbon on PTI stated today that Denard "is like Michael Vick except that Denard is a more accurate passer". You don't move Michael Vick. Let alone a more accurate Michael Vick. You don't move that type of player for anyone. ...


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Oh.... I see the thread title has now been changed [Body]

Output: Oh.... I see the thread title has now been changed to the "ND" game. No harm no foul. We all make mistakes.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Vlad is not listed [Body]

Output: Vlad is not listed on the Rivals depth chart released today: http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1125677


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Tate is listed as #3 [Body]

Output: Not sure what depth chart you are looking at but the Week 3 depth chart just released by Rivals has Tate at # 3


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] We all know Denard is very smart [Body]

Output: We all know Denard is very smart. He is making all the right reads out there and is making wise decisions with the football. What is he.... something like 65 passes without a pick? You can't do that without thinking, reading and making great decisions on the field. One thing about haters is they only hate when you doing something well. Let them hate. It means that we being successful. It means that we are doing something right.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] I wouldn't go as far as to say [Body]

Output: I wouldn't go as far as to say that Tate will never see the field this year. Barring the unthinkable, I believe he will see the field at some point this year but likely after Denard and Devin have played. And it likely wont be meaningful minutes but in mop up duty. This coaching staff is serious about discipline and work ethic. RR is a very strict man in many ways. Cut class get in the dog house. Cut class too much, get the boot. This same philosophy applies to everything else with respect to the program RR runs. Do it the right way or suffer the consequences. Moreover, there is a reason Devin was widely regarded as the best QB in the nation last year - he is good. In the eyes of the coaches he has likely outperformed Tate and has deservedly secured the #2 spot with his play. Lastly, we have a record breaking quarterback currently at the helm who is taking the college football world by storm. A player that can be the pied piper for the program by bringing much needed positive exposure and elite level recruits into the fold. All talk of playing Denard anywhere but quarterback is ludicrous imo.

Output: Mr. Forcier is that you? Or is it the mysterious QBForce coming up with these threads?


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] I think we may be underestimating our accomplishments [Body]

Output: I think we may be underestimating our accomplishments a bit at this point in the season because of what happened last year. And because our defense can admittedly be a little scary at times. But the fact of the matter is that present day Notre Dame and elite level BIg East teams are conservatively comparable to mid level Big 10 teams. Thus, wins over a well coached UConn team and ND had to atleast be equivalent to a win over a Minny, Purdue, Illinois and possibly little brother. And that has to bode well for our overall prospect of success in Big 10 play. Moreover, I don't ever recall Minny, Purdue, Illinois or lil brother hitting like that UConn team hit. Roy Roundtree might still be shaking out the cobwebs from that bonecrushing hit he took against UConn. And we all know that Charlie Weis couldn't coach but he sure could recruit. That ND team has a high number of players who will playing on Sundays in the years to come. And to beat that team on the road was no small feat. I am trying to be conservative but I must admit to being downright giddy over what I have seen of this team this year. And I believe Monsieur Brandon has to see the direction in which this team is going and has to be gaining more and more confidence in Rich Rod. Yes, I think RR's seat is cooling. Far from cool but cooling.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Agreed on Kelly.... Crist should have been sat [Body]

Output: Agreed on Kelly.... Crist should have been sat for the entire game. You can't take the chance with the young man's future and well being. If history with respect to head injuries has shown us nothing else, it has shown us that the more conservative the better when it comes to any type of head injury. Kelly merely hedged his bet.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] There is also part of me that thinks [Body]

Output: There is also part of me that thinks Rich Rod is much much smarter than we have all give him credit for. Time has provided me more of an opportunity to look into this man's mind and I must tell you, I am starting to believe he is the smartest guy in the room. His "aw shucks" country boy spiel aside, this guy is smart. Why do I say that? I believe Tate is probably a long way away from being designated #2 knowing that that may cause the new starter to be constantly be looking over his shoulder. Tate still has a fairly sizable fan following to say little of the overzealous, demanding family that he comes from. RR wants Denard totally comfortable and he likely knows that putting as much distance between Tate and seat 1 will go along way towards doing that. Besides Denard has proven that he deserves to be comfortably #1. From his play on to field to the way that he has conducted himself off the field, Denard has earned the right to be comfortable. Keeping Devin at 2 likely helps with that objective.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Totally agree with Blazefire [Body]

Output: I agree with Blazefire. Denard is going to do wonders for recruiting. Sort of like the Fab Five (too soon?) of football. The Fab Five with its flashy passes and baggy shorts was something new and fresh that took the basketball world by storm. In that same vein we now have Denard with the long hair, the speed, the flair, and the catchy nickname "Shoelace". Our national recruiting should definitely pick up and, at the very least, our Florida recruiting should get even stronger. Little kids in ball parks across america are wanting that #16 jersey and are wanting to be "Shoelace". This is the kind of thing that kind turn a program around. Lets keep our fingers crossed that he stays healthy and that he keeps it up.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] The refs missed quite of few calls [Body]

Output: The refs missed quite a few calls. Denard got about 2 or 3 blows to the head after passing the ball. Clearly 1 or 2 of those should have been called. And now we have a pic showing a fairly blatant facemask. Denard is a warrior but we can't have him taking an unnecessary beating out there. Hopefully the refs will be more vigilant in protecting Denard moving forward.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Possibly Tate's attempt to be relevant again? [Body]

Output: Possibly Tate's attempt to somehow be relevant again? I say be a good teammate and humbly work your way back up the depth chart. Tell your family to leave the twittering alone and let what happens on the gridiron do all the talking for you. Let your play do the talking son.... let your play do the talking!


Input: [Date] 4 years 46 weeks ago [Title] Kelly also said, "he can pass the ball and he is very accurate" [Body]

Output: Kelly also said, "he can pass the ball and he is very accurate" in addition to saying he is a "running back". So no, I don't think Kelly was taking a shot at Denard.
