Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] I usually don't buy into conspiracy theory but... [Body]

Output: This makes a ton of since. As a Falcons fan I don't like giving Mora too much credit, but if UCLA wins it would make a ton of sense. Oregon really got F***** this year lol


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] I am also new to MGoblog [Body]

Output: But I am not new to recruiting and I think this is completely normal for any recruiting cycle. Yes, it sucks to have our players decommit but compared to other universities, who allow visits, our recruitment at Michigan has much less drama than other places like USC or most SEC schools. At schools who allow visits, their commits go on every official visit and give another school a shot at flipping them. My friends at UGA sit on the edge of their seats literally EVERY week not knowing whether a kid got "blown away" by a visit they took. So I say relax because we are Michigan "For God's sake".


Input: [Date] 6 days 4 hours ago [Body] Sam Webb has been out of the loop for the last six months and is quickly losing value as an insider. Everyone else seems to be in agreement that Nuata is more or less done to Georgia and Upshur just canceled his announcement so he can go visit FSU again. This is all bad for Michigan. [Title]

Output: Sam Webb has been out of the


Input: [Date] 6 days 4 hours ago [Body] Hope he is good. In video posted his handles don't look great and quality of competition seems lacking but if Beilien likes him then hopefully that is good enough. [Title]

Output: Hope he is good. In video

Output: Said on missing out on Hill.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Body] One of the greats and greatest of all time is two completely different statements. Brady is one of the greats but isn't the greatest of all time. Both are true statements. But of the QB's listed Brady might have had the most help of any of those guys for most of his career. Elite defenses for the first half of his career, one of the best coaches of all time, his best year included maybe the most physically gifted wr of all time, etc. [Title]

Output: One of the greats and


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Body] Last time I checked Brady didn't win any super bowls playing for Michigan and the Patriots don't play in Detroit. I get liking Brady but he didn't cement his legacy as a great qb while at michigan. [Title]

Output: Last time I checked Brady


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Body] Always a great way to land a recruit when it is because osu doesn't care because they think they can get better players but whatever he seems good so I'll be happy if he ends up here. Peoples-Jones is about as close to a must get as any recruit could ever be. In-state 5 star who is probably a top 10 player in the country with two parents who went to Michigan at a position of extreme need where early playing time isn't a bad sign. If he goes anywhere else it is a problem. [Title]

Output: Always a great way to land a


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Body] Montana was better, Marino was better, Manning was better.He may be tied for the most accomplished quarterback but he isn't the best. If you had the oporutnity to draft every qb at their prime brady wouldn't be the first one taken. It is that simple. [Title]

Output: Montana was better, Marino

Output: Biefeldt is gone because if


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] Shocking that the pre-season national championship favorite would be the most talented team in an otherwise shitty conference. OSU might take like 5 players from the rest of the conference combined as starters. They probably have the most talented player at every position on the field in the big ten. Doesn't mean we can't beat them, but they are the better team on paper and most likely in reality also. [Title]

Output: Shocking that the pre-season


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Man people are getting so salty about this. They had hundreds of things on sale over the course of the day including some desirable stuff over 50% off. Sure things sold out but that is because they had a lot of people interested. They sold more stuff than black friday so clearly enough people found things they liked. It also caused walmart and bestbuy to also put things on sale, between those 3 places you could get most items on sale for most of the day. How is that bad? Amazon never has and never will do a 20% off everything sale and anyone expecting that was bound to be disspaointed. Prime is an amazing deal between the free movies and free 2 day shipping plus random deals throughout the year. Not sure why people are so upset at Amazon for including things like diapers in their sale rather than just putting up fun toys. If you were stocking a kitchen or had a baby yesterday was great. Not every sale is about getting a new tv. [Title]

Output: Man people are getting so


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] That tweet is a stupid response. No way is saying UA is a threat to Nike next year. UA barely existed when current high school seniors were born so Nike still being liked better isn't shocking. But UA's growth has been pretty big and they are just entering the shoe market now and have Steph Curry to market it. They also have Spieth signed to a 10 year contract in golf as well and a bunch of baseball players including Bryce Harper. They've done a really good job of getting in on big young stars for marketing purposes and that will pay dividends. Plus with Notre Dame, Auburn, South Carolina, Maryland, Northwestern, etc they have a pretty good toe hold in college athletics for being a still young company. [Title]

Output: That tweet is a stupid


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] While we are at it other annoying things from uva. Wearing ties to football games and pretending to ignore that the University of Maryland has the largest mall in the country, not UVA. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Stop saying grounds. Its a fucking campus. Also when I was there for a model un conference in high school we went to the white spot and it was pretty good. Plus as the only predominatley black school at the conference we found it funny in a "uva frats have been known to make their pledges but on black face and pick cotton and they have a restaurant called the white spot" sort of way." [Title]

Output: Stop saying grounds. Its a

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 hours ago [Body] Thats not really true for graduate schools. In state tuition (as in just straight tuition) at michigan $26,367 for in state $27,867 for out of state. You save a whopping $1,500 a year. Harvard on the other hand is $57,200 so going to public school over private might make financial sense. As far as I can tell Georgia in state is a litte over $19,000 for in state. My guess is people aren't making the decision to stay in state in Georgia vs going to Michigan because of $7,000 a year but maybe I am wrong. [Title]

Output: Thats not really true for


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 hours ago [Body] According to US news which is whatever but an easy baseline OSU is the 18th best public school in the country and Georgia is the 20th, not a huge jump there in terms of the actual academics he will receive while there. Florida and Texas A&M are also in the top 25 of pulbic schools (which is all that really matters here, if it was strict academic rankings, Stanford, Duke, Northwestern etc would be top 10). Plentyt of schools in the sec are in the same academic grouping as big ten schools. [Title]

Output: According to US news which is

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Maryland basketball has one of the largest arenas in the country, has the largest student section in the country, is in one of the best recruiting parts of the country and has a top 15 program history. Sure they aren't great at football but Maryland adds a lot of value on the basketball side. Maryland sports also won 7 big ten championships this year, the most of any school. Maryland is also located in the 4th largest metro area in the country (Baltimore/DC), is a well respected research institution, has access to the library of congress, etc. The only reason Maryland was a bad addition is if the only thing you care about is football. I just think its funny that people love the Nebraska addition when literally the only positive thing they bring is football. [Title]

Output: Maryland basketball has one


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] How is using sling tv an argument right now? People who argue that unbundling will cost more are projecting that the landscape will change as well. When unbundling does occur netlfix will either cost a lot more, cease to exist, or only have seasons that are old on it because stations will get more propietary and host things exclusively on their websites for their subscribers. Same thing with hulu. Sling tv exists in the current market, nothing about its pricing model is helpful for determining how much ESPN would cost in an unbundled world because ESPN doesn't need to charge sling tv customers $30 to remain viable in the current market. [Title]

Output: How is using sling tv an


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 5 days ago [Body] None of you guys have clearly ever visited a caps message board. He gets more flak than he deserves but I don't know a single Caps fan who thinks he is worth the money you guys just paid. Of course knowing Caps history he will probably end up in the hof. [Title]

Output: Sounds like Harbaugh fucked


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Yes it was worth it. Sports teams make a city feel nice, they aren't actually drivers of economic growth and now the city has millions of dollars to spend on other things rather than a stadium. Seattle's economy is doing just fine without the sonics, so yes not spending millions to keep them with a project with no roi was the right call. [Title]

Output: Yes it was worth it. Sports


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I'm an easy target. Every hype video or glimpse of the band taking the field brings a tear. At any other point in the year... Post-NC clip of Griese receiving MVP. Brock Mealer (obviously). "The Great Michigan Spirit" (Ufer).

Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Body] That game holds a special place in my heart as it was my first ever game in the Big House - I was 9 and had no idea what was going on other than that the ending was crazy exciting. 2005 Penn State may be my #1... sitting on the field with the marching band to witness that Manningham catch and then rushing the field was unforgettable.

Input: [Date] 3 years 33 weeks ago [Body] Absolutely. The difference is very obvious when you see a player from another team interviewed - "I've done a lot for my team" and "I think I deserve ____ award", etc. Our young men are always very humble and respectful of their teammates and coaches. It's great to watch them get rewarded for their hard work and perseverance! [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Title] Columbus residents [Body]

Output: I've lived in Columbus for the past 9 years, and for the most part, it is good natured ribbing. However, I would never put anything on my car or wear Michigan gear to a restaurant. Aside from drunks flexing for their boys, anyone that would do something dispicable wouldn't do it to your face. Like I said, most people are cool, but it only takes one coward to key a car or put some "fromunda" cheese on your steak. That being said, the Convention Center and Arena district is a great place to hang out. The Arnold is a cool event and great for people watching. Be sure to check out the North Market and tsio campus is a short drive up High Street if you want to see what people not smart enough to get into Michigan look like. Go Blue and keep Louisville weird!


Input: [Date] 1 year 24 weeks ago [Title] Cabs in Columbus [Body]

Output: They are ridiculously expensive. COTA busses are notoriously unreliable. There is plenty of cheap parking for the Schott, but you have to ride a shuttle with all of the osu mouth breathers.


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Title] ohio by a mile [Body]

Output: Perhaps I'm just biased because I live in the belly of the beast, but ohio fans are just so insecure. They're the pretty girl that needs to tear everyone else down. And their obsession with Michigan (the state and school) borders on psychotic. MSU fans are just the desperate, drunk girl who'll do anything for attention.


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Title] The worst vice is advice [Body]

Output: This year's point guard class isn't particularly deep, and his size and raw talent make him very desirable. However, with the looming lockout, it doesn't seem that any team would throw first round money at what some would deem a project. The young man has a tough decision, and I hope he is getting solid advice. As far as the team goes, I live in Columbus and I saw Trey Burke play a couple of times. He's very fast and will be a great distributor, if not scorer. His Godfather (another M fan in Cbus) told me that he was ready to sign with Cincy. Ultimately, he decided a Michigan education was too good to pass up, even if it meant backing up Darius for a year or even two.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] At the very least... [Body]

Output: I hope Hoke will amend his schemes to fit his players, then recruit his "type" of player. I think that was what's his name's biggest mistake. If the players like him, that is good enough for me.


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Body] Given the circumstances surrounding Penn State and considering some of the other issues that have popped up as of late throughout the NCAA, does anyone else get the feeling we may be hearing of other violations/cover-ups over the next year or two? [Title]

Output: Given the circumstances


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: Not really sure we need to


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: Being a Kent State grad, I'm

Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: I spoke with an Ohio fan who

Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: This is good news! We'll


Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Body] 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) [Title]

Output: I like them. Looking back I


Input: [Date] 3 years 32 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: I just spoke to a friend of


Input: [Date] 3 years 32 weeks ago [Body] Not to worry about Dymonte, love it! Maybe Urban will use his premonitions of death and dreams of players in Ohio uniforms while he fulfills his new "Dream Job" as recruiting tactics. [Title]

Output: Not to worry about Dymonte,


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Body] The fact that he's a baller is just a bonus to me he's probably been our best recruiter this year! [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Body] All star competition a couple years ago I'm pretty sure our boy Devin also could heave one 80+ yards. I think a lot of people forget how good of an arm he has and IMO he's the next big thing and will fit nicely in this system. All the boy needs is some snaps. [Title]

Output: Do you remember the under armour


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Body] These predictions are fun to read but at the end of the day they are just that. The Bama team we see next year will more than likely look a lot different than the team we seen last. Look how well auburn faired after a nt. Its anybody's game/guess! [Title]

Output: Agreed sir 110%


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Body] It would be Oregon instead of Stanford [Title]

Output: Sorry


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Bama/ Stanford and Lsu/ Ok st either way we probably end up watching the "rerun" anyway but at least there's not "as much" controversy with the outcome. It would have to work better most years than what we have in place right now. [Title]

Output: My guess would be

Output: Thanks fellas


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Considered a satisfactory playoff system? IMO a plus 1 is ideal I don't like the idea of completely abandoning the bowls and would hate the thought of college football being like the NFL. If you finish the season undefeated the last few games don't matter....thoughts? [Title]

Output: What is


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] to see how this plays out too they are all good in their own skill set. Id say the battle for starting position will be intense. I think Smiths lack of success had alot to do with the play calling hes a stout runner I seen him upend MM in practice or spring game cant remember which but the boys got some moves. How many times did RR send him on a suicide mission straight up the middle same play over and over... [Title]

Output: Id like


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] It is fair to say Hoke and co. are working around the clock were you on the sight a few days ago when fans were lined up on ledges and bridges around the country. Even though we havent actually signed many of these recriuts momentum has definately swayed and there are alot more intrests in the program that was definatly lacking last week. It may be premature but i understand the enthusiasim. [Title]

Output: Although


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] about the whole square peg round hole thing. But i agree and am glad you pointed out the TOP I think that has been overlooked on alot of these posts and it will be very advantagous for our defense. Dont really think the offense will suffer tremendously though Denard may not be Andrew Luck but he is a better than average passer, I realize alot of his success comes from defenses loading the box to stop him from running. AB made it clear in his interview they were going to try to develop his passing game and if the running game improves(it will) he can set the same stage with p/a. Dont sell them short just yet. [Title]

Output: Hope your wrong


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] RR also tried to do this with no real defense to speak of. With Hoke/Mattison working on the D and the the depth problem there I think we're potetially going to be a threat on both sides of the ball. Many returning starters next year who will be improved and a ST coach who can hopefully turn our kicking game around. Dont see any reason why they couldnt succeed. [Title]

Output: RR


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] I never said the guy was too old as a matter of fact I cant think of another DC id take over GM. All i was sayin was JH could be thinking of giving the younger asst. in waiting a chance. I know the history of these men Hoke/Mattison coaching with the Harbaughs and believe Harbaugh wants GM to be be happy but it wouldve never happened this way if JH hadnt seen things he liked out of GMs replacement. Thats all Im sayin. [Title]

Output: Hello Dick


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] for ST the ball security was a big issue at first but he seemed to take care of that. Meskos departure definatly hurt but Hagerup was highly recruited as well as Gibbons and SB. I sat on the 40 yd line at this years bowl game and watched them drill several 30+ yd field goals during the warm up and watched in dismay when the kicking unit took the field on a 4th and 4 somewhere inside the 20! Couldnt possibly imagine how frustrating that must of been for RR seeing them make a high percentage of field goals all week in practice and screw the pooch on game day. [Title]

Output: I cant blame RR


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] at this point but fun none the less. I look for Toussaint/ Hopkins to have breakout years. I loved what I seen from both of them last year besides ball security. Shouldnt be a problem next year look at how horrible odums was year before last and hes a pimp now. I think Denard will run a considerable amount less than last year which in turn will make it a lot more effective when he does im guessing he still gets close to a grand on the ground and alot more through the air. Everyone from ESPN to MGO is freaking out about whats going to happen on offense how will Borges use ALL that talent... Seriously recieving core is really strong we're really deep at rb, O line is monsterous and we have two pretty good qbs(passing). I would really like to see more of DG definatly not the runner Shoelace is but i think he has a bigger arm he should be a better fit in an AB system in a couple years. The B1G should fear us maybe they dont it yet but they soon will. GO BLUE! [Title]

Output: This is all speculation


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] i had enough points to upvote this [Title]

Output: wish


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] of what offense we run I think we will execute better when Denard learns to make the reads and when nothing is there use his legs. Nobody has a clue what kind of offense were going to run although theres been alot of good ideas. The pistol could definately work if coached properly along with a dozen other schemes. We just need to change it up enough that defenses cant figure it out and shut it down like they eventually did last year. We would be crazy to think that this staff wouldnt utilize Denards super human abilities alothough i dont expect to see him run as often as he did last year. Hes young and very intelligent if he makes as much progress next year as he did the season before in the off season... [Title]

Output: In spite


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] I was completely agaisnt the Hoke hire. I wanted Harbaugh, Gruden, any high profile OC/DC over Hoke. With the way things are falling into place...man it feels good to admit i was wrong! Very excited about the the next season, the staff, and even THIS ( yeah i said it) this recruiting class. The way things are shaping up im betting we steal a few last min guys. [Title]

Output: that makes two of us


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] The defense was sold short...i mean it was bad on a historic level but theres talent there. I expect Matty will do big things with the rerurning starters. My god if he just teaches them solid tackling we will be much improved right? My prediction was the defense would be better this year anyway but now im even less worried about the matter. Do you think Matty could teach SB how to make a 30 yd field goal? [Title]

Output: Your right


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] but i follow them a little bit and it seems suspect to me as well. Mostly because of his age not ability i think JH is probably looking more to the future and wanted the younger assistant to take over. Now im definately not slighting the hire im very excited about this especially since while he was at UM our D was only giving up an average of 17 pts a game! Cant remeber the last time i was excited about the defensive side of the ball! Does anyone know how his D holds up against uptempo spread offenses? [Title]

Output: Not a Ravens Fan


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] Best one Ive heard all day. [Title]

Output: Nice


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] I certianly wouldnt say back but it would be a vast improvement. I was reffering to the "backwards progress" to pro style. Just because we are going back to our old scheme doesnt mean we cant be more than mediocre or cant win bowl games/ national titles. To qoute DB Hoke isnt very polished and hasnt had alot of pr work, obviously he looked like a deer in the headlights at the press confrence. But i believed everthing he said and more importantly i think he did too! Hoke the sexxy pick not really but definately very passionate and intense. I dont think we as fans should put a cieling on Hokes career before they even play their first game. [Title]

Output: I certianly wouldnt say


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] It was never meant to be an argument, just a joke about the press confress. I realize we are all under diress as a result of this years recruiting class but lighten up. I never meant for anyone to read into it that Crawford couldnt be used, hes a beast, just that we were most certianly going to suffer casualties with the coaching change. Everyone is freaking out and pointing fingers because of the recruits that we lost, that we may have never had in the fisrt place. No one seems to be giving any credit for retaining current players an even bigger feat in my opinion. [Title]

Output: come on


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] this tried to post twice?? [Title]

Output: not sure


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] I look for Hopkins and/or Toussaint to explode this year. Nothin but love for Smith and Shaw but i think the former backs are more well suited for the offense Hoke will try to employ. Excited to see them on the field, loved the idea of the spread but utterly sick of seeing smith get stuffed on EVERY 1st down. RR pissed me off by not using Hopkins/Toussaint more they did well what litle bit they were on the field. [Title]

Output: Moving forward


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] Everyone knew crawford was gone there were rumours before RR was fired. No doubt it sucks but Hoke isnt going to be looking for the same kind of players RR was. It is admirable to keep the the players you were left with and try to work your offense/defense around them but to recruit more guys that dont fit your scheme is unheard of. Hokes players are going to be big and tough both physically and mentally, and have a fanatical love for the game and what is michigan and accountability. Im not so sure Hoke wanted to touch Crawford like he does the other kids. Seriously Id say Hoke pulls a few solid recruits this year 15+ or so given the time he has to work with but next year we have a top 20 recruiting class. [Title]

Output: Surprised?


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] I hope not sounds foriegn to me. He was a really good dc when he had that NFL front 7. Even at at that he was powerless against the spread he couldnt even scheme against app state someone please tell me this is a cruel joke No habla. [Title]

Output: Are we speaking English?


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] Roundtree has the potential to be one of the best recievers to come out of michigan. He was a little frustrating to watch in the last few games but so was the rest of the team. His yards after the catch(when made) are particularly impressive to me. I think it goes back to how young they are or possibly missed assignments on the coaching staff. Either way i think our recieving core is full of talent one of the few areas we dont have to worry about. [Title]

Output: Roundtree


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] I have to agree with Token_Sparty on this one, who wanted Tressel when he was at youngstown? And im sooo sick of hearing all the comparisons of Hoke and Carr why because he was in Carrs staff, because hes a pro style guy? Lets see, Harbaughs a pro style guy and wanted to be on Carrs staff and was turned down. I bet we wouldnt be hearing all this if Harbaugh wouldve got the job. In fact Harbaugh reminds me alot of Carr w/o that conservative edge, pro style is still an effective way to win games case in point the orange bowl this year. Stanford blew up Techs version of the spread and mobile qb and hung with the mighty ducks for a half. Now i have to admit i did not want to see RR and his explosive offense go i feel if given a couple more years he couldve possibly turned things around but we had to have a middle of the pack D which we didnt. RR was not DBs hire and i think DB wants to leave his footprint on the program by hiring the coach that turned the program around...Hoke is a gamble but i like the odds. I for one dont want to be part of the division that utimately caused RR to fail and if Hoke turns out to be another Carr (with balls and plays aggresively) we will be more than ok we will be the leaders and the best. [Title]

Output: I have to agree


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] No doubt this recruiting class is looking like a train wreck but i cant blame Hoke for this hes only been there a week. He still has time and hes passed my first test with flying colors by retaining the current players(denard!!). I think we'll be ok if we get a good kicker and a good DC, theres a lot of young guys on the team but next year is do or die! [Title]

Output: No doubt

Output: ok yeah we all wanted austin white more than nick hill but hills also one heck of a player and who cares if he got ranked higher...when it comes to the spread offense, guys like white and drake who are more elusive are worth more than mere rivals rankings...

Output: Just because he's not rated on rivals and scout doesn't mean he's not a good CB. Its gotta say something when Michigan is already in good standing with CC, Mathis, and Knight and would offer a kid after that. He's a straight up sleeper and if you're premium on rivals/scout you would know why...

I am not a basketbal geniuse but I think Beilein does a pretty good job calling set plays out of timeouts. I could be wrong I haven't looked up the stats on it or anything but as a novice watching the games he seems to do pretty well. [Title]

Output: In eight seasons you have


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 3 days ago [Body] If Walton is healthy enough to play you bring him off the bench to spell Spike and Maar. It could be a big help just getting those two a couple of extra minutes of rest. Wisconsin is also vulnerable to dribble penatration and Walton brings more of that to the game than Spike. But I don't think it is realistic to expect Walton to play more than 10-12 minutes off the bench in this game. [Title]

Output: If Walton is healthy enough

Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I agree. Remember Brian has stated he is running for Regent in the next election. Is this the way someone who wants to help run the University should behave in relation to its students? Calling out a horrible idea totally fair game. "Jokeing" about ruining anyone who agrees with a idea you don't like not so much. [Title]

Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Would you write a sermon about one of your church members like this blog post if they had put forth a bad idea in a church board meeting? Then go on twitter and tweet out their twitter handle with the hash tag excominicate Bob Joe parishoner? When you hold young adults accountable do you do it by holding therm up for ridicule and a mob to help ridicule after your done? Their is a difference between calling someone out for a bad idea wich is fair game justr like Ace did and being a jerk Brian is being a jerk in this. Brian of bringing down Dave Brandon fame is "joking " about ruining peoples careers if they support a idea he doesn't like. This is the behavior of someone who has announced their intention to run for regent of the univeristy. Do you really think this blog post is how someone who wants to help run the university should respond to its students? [Title]

Input: [Date] 21 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Yea, the pay is actually [Body]

Output: Yea, the pay is actually incredibly low relative to the other professional sports. Obviously MMA is younger and less mainstream, but even Rousey will only get about $2mil for that fight without sponser dollars. That seems like a ton for 14sec, but that's months of training and she's one of the sport's biggest names. Its growing fast though, and she's paving the way for a whole new boatload of female fighters. Pretty awesome to witness for a fan of the sport!


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Yet another Vikes fan. I see [Body]

Output: Yet another Vikes fan. I see no way he wears a new uniform next season. Whether or not he wants to play for Minnesota or not, he knows where the paychecks are coming from. The trade return isn't going to be worth the player, and I can't see this organization making a deal with Dallas specifically for anything less than a solid haul of picks.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 3 days ago [Title] In the non-call boat, I think [Body]

Output: In the non-call boat, I think it was 2010 when DeShawn Sims was hacked by State in what should have been a last second layup for the win at Crisler. I remember one of the refs got injured during the game and had to leave, so the view from behind Sims where he was being held down was just missed.

Output: I hate this damn conference. I don't care about the ease of schedule, I want to see Michigan play their rivals home and away and I want to see them in Assembly Hall. Is it selfish that I want my school to play other schools in our conference?


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Nothing to see here [Body]

Output: So late in the second half when I began to be more interested in people watching than the game itself, I noticed an awkward moment between Harbaugh and Desmond. Harbaugh stopped to talk to like 5 people on his way to the tunnel, just being courteous. Then he got to the tunnel, where Des was, and uncomfortably walked past him. Des even looked up, like how I would avoid an ex in high school. Just odd. Also, Jameis wouldn't even acknowledge the kids that wanted a picture, even the oddly placed kid in a FSU hat! Comeon mannn


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Airing of Grievances [Body]

Output: People that think something is wrong with offense in seemingly every sports just don't like defense, and I don't like them. Sometimes, things aren't broken - so don't fix them. Soccer is boring to me, so I don't watch it. They make a lot of money despite my decision. Baseball is exciting to me, so I watch it. If it bores you, don't. They will continue to make a lot of money, don't change my game. Charges are the most exciting call in college basketball, and I love Ted Valentine as a ref. I love MMA but the UFC is ruining it. What it did to this point pushed MMA into the main stream, and that's fantastic. However, they now are over-extending themselves and have too large a roster with too many events. Fighters aren't getting fights, and other organizations are dying. Reign it in for the sport. It frustrates me that NFL money isn't guaranteed. Baseball's salary model is the best in sports. The contract matters - when it's signed, it's done. If all sports could adopt this, they'd all be better for it. There will be another NFLPA strike soon and it will stem from how the NFL treated Adrian Peterson.

Input: [Date] 30 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Beilein definitely plays [Body]

Output: Beilein definitely plays favorites to guys who show willingness to be coached more. Normally, when they lack the starting/first off the bench talent, he molds them into defensive specialists and then let's them earn playing time from there. That's what I see MAAR as. Beilein likes him, he must show good stuff in practice, and will continue to use him defensively on a consistent basis. Hit a couple shots during that time and all of the sudden you're in, some I'm not worried about him!


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 4 days ago [Title] This. [Body]

Output: I feel like much of the hate comes from the ridiculous one-off uniforms and the yellow. Realistically, quality concerns are about the same across these 3 companies. If the AD doesn't want special unis, we don't get them. If they don't want highlighter yellow, we won't get it. Nike may have a patent on that specific shade of Maize, but they don't own every dulled shade of yellow. Basketball camps may be one legitimate argument, but that doesn't seem to cover the rest of the contract, imo.

Output: Once he left the game he was swearing up a storm and hitting the chair next to him - with a smile, of course. Sounds silly, but it was awesome just to see him be a kid mad that he missed a couple big 3s. So proud to have him on this team for the next few years!

Output: With Minnesota, Indiana, Nebraska, and Illinois receiving votes (in that order). Basketball conferences, man.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Football perspective [Body]

Output: As a Vikings fan, I have to admit I was hoping he'd fight it. Now with the plea, I expect a couple game suspension and a nice fine, but he'll be back this year. I didn't want to see that for football reasons... I don't believe he'll be back next year for $ reasons, so I see it as more valuable to grow the rookie RB and QB without AD out there. Obviously a better team with him out there, but I believe this growth by fire has been working pretty well thus far

Output: Just about everything has been said between the 2 posts, but there's one more thing that really pissed me off about how it was handled. I was at the end of the preline, and ran back and forth between the 2 a few times much to my amusement (I was drunk, so what wanna fight about it?). When el presidente decided to make the 2nd line, she had the maize rage 'core' walk about 100 feet away from her, then she announced her line just began, and then the glob walked up behind her. Outside of her claiming she was going to give the people in the other line 'fake' numbers to trick them into thinking they would get a good spot in line, it was the most dick thing she could have done. The core made a mess, and the athletic department cleaned it up.

I'm a 3rd year ticket holder and that's an excellent point, every game so far this season I've been jammed into a row (not a big deal at all fwiw) and looking back at my first 2 years, I never experienced that.

Of course being in that line isnt as fun as pregaming like before, but its not like you are just sitting looking at the floor. There's free food, phone charging stations, water and toilets. Theres a big ass tv to watch the early games and obviously you can bring in drinks (ooohh ahhhhh) and other stuff like that to make the time go by! Shit there's other humans too, talk to em.

Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Michigan fans why do you wish [Body]

Output: Michigan fans why do you wish to play the waiting game!!! The team has some of the most talent in the country and if you honestly think that Michigan is losing due to lack of talent or system then you are an idiot. There are no excuses to ever have a losing record with this team. Michigan is a team that should compete for the B10 title every year and those of you who are making excuses for the coaching staff need to stop being so ignorant. Changes can be a good thing and in Michigan's case, change would be fantastic for the coaching staff.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] excuses, excuses...The [Body]

Output: excuses, excuses...The defense has talent and Robinson and Rodriguez have no idea what to do with it. If a defensive minded coach...oh I don't know maybe Kirby Smart, would have coached the defense do you honestly think the defense would have been this bad?


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] I love Michigan and no matter [Body]

Output: I love Michigan and no matter the record I will watch every game and watch it passionately. Every week it is just harder for me to support Rich Rod. I spend so much time and money into Michigan football and so do many others. That is why it hurts so much to see them play like this. If Rodriguez does stay I will support him and devote my time and money for the team, but I still think some changes are necessary in the staff.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] I am not saying Rich Rod [Body]

Output: I am not saying Rich Rod should be fired for sure. But, if the team looks as bad as it has in the past 3 weeks for the rest of the season, I might say it is time for Rod to go. I believe there are several coaches who could take this exact roster and make them a top 15 team. I really hope Michigan improves but everytime I get my hopes up they seem to get crushed every Saturday.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] I know people hate it when [Body]

Output: I know people hate it when someone says anything they don't like about their beloved team. I did not come on here to make people mad I just want to figure out what fans like me are thinking about the team this year and what they think should be done if anything, because in my opinion what is being done isn't working and Michigan needs to look in another direction. But when I make a post I don't want people to call me an idiot just because I am saying bad things. I want people to explain to me why I am wrong and why I should look forward to watching games.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] I hope it does get better. I [Body]

Output: I hope it does get better. I am not hoping for Rodriguez to fail at Michigan. I want Michigan to win games they should and in the games they lose they should deserve to lose while not beating themselves. Rodriguez has proven he can win at West Virginia, but in year two he has always shown great improvement with his teams. Michigan is improved on offense for sure, but defense has been awful and is getting worse. I hope Michigan wins out and wins a bowl game, but if they don't I just don't want to hear the same excuses that I had been preaching when I believed in Rich.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] A team with a lack of [Body]

Output: A team with a lack of experience on defense should look their worst at the beginning of the season and progress during the season and get better. What else ya got?


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] I am not saying in one [Body]

Output: I am not saying in one practice a problem will be fixed. I am saying that after 3 weeks the defenses problems are getting worse and in no way better. Are you actually thinking the coaching staff is doing a good job with the defense lately? The players aren't idiots they want to play well and it is the coaches jobs to teach them technique and execution. I think the coaches are working on tackling and staying home in practice, but however they are doing it the players don't seem to be getting any better. I have a question for you. What in your opinion needs to change for Michigan to win these next two games, and to win in the future after this season.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Agreed...I am tired of people [Body]

Output: Agreed...I am tired of people making excuses for this team. It is not lack of talent. Michigan recruits well every year and when people say Michigan fans have no right to think they are better than any other is a little strange to me. The actual fans aren't better than other fans, but the Michigan football team should be one of the better teams in college football every year, and not the worst in the big 11 two years in a row.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Offense did look better this [Body]

Output: Offense did look better this week for sure but you act like its ok for the defense to suck and that Rich has nothing to do with that. He is the HEAD coach and I know Robinson is to be blamed for the large part of the defensive struggles, but Rodriguez has to be blamed as well. The team was winning both of these games at halftime yes, but in second half situation football Michigan has been awful lately. People are out of position, giving up big plays, and missing tackles. These are things they should be stressing in practices and they obviously aren't doing a good job. They made no adjustments of defense and they got burned bad in 3 straight games. My friend literally puked during the Illinois game because he couldn't believe lack of execution.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] I will always be faithful to [Body]

Output: I will always be faithful to Michigan but when I see great athletes and a great program pour so much money into their athletics and coaching and get beaten so badly, I want to think things will get better but they haven't and the team is looking worse especially on D.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] So are all of you guys [Body]

Output: So are all of you guys telling me that any coach that Michigan had hired would bring in a new system and have this little of success. What homework haven't I done? What don't I understand? I supported Rich Rod this whole time until now. How is it acceptable for a team to look so unprepared for three weeks in a row? I understand every great program goes through a tough time once in a while, but this roster has proven they can perform well...they just haven't consistently which is a form of poor coaching.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Michigan football took a [Body]

Output: Michigan football took a beating last year and many of the loyal fans stayed patient and understood that Rich Rodriguez was in a tough situation with no quarterback. Well, now ten games into his second season a Rich Rodriguez coached Michigan team looks lost and poorly coached for the third game in a row. Rodriguez's excuses are running out and the majority of the fans in Ann Arbor are getting impatient. If Michigan fans liked to play the waiting game and wait for their team to be great again, then Rich Rod is their man. But, the Michigan faithful never want to wait, they want to win now and when they don't there are never good enough excuses. I have supported Rich Rod ever since he was hired until today. I have never been so disgusted watching Michigan games in my entire life and the pain that the greatest fans in the world have been going through must stop now. If Michigan can win their next two games I believe Rich Rod deserves at least one more year to show the world what he can do. If Michigan loses their last two games and does not make a bowl game, I can't see any other way than to let Rodriguez go. There are no excuses for taking the winningest program in CFB history with some of the most talent in the country, and then turning it into the laughing stock of a mediocre Big 10. Michigan fans deserve better than anything less than a championship contender. Rich Rods time is running out and unless the team can end the season in spectacular form, he should be gone. Many do not support the hiring of a new coach right now, but I feel that there are several qualified coaches who can bring this exact roster to a top 15 ranking. Michigan will always have talented players and they deserve a talented coach to lead those players to a bright future. Many fans are looking at successful and current head coaches to come in such as Chris Peterson of Boise State, Brian Kelly of Cincinnati, or Gary Patterson of TCU. These coaches could very well be the future of Michigan football, but I feel that the best choice for head coach would be Kirby Smart, defensive Coordinator from Alabama. Smart is a former Georgia Bulldog defensive back and has worked with Nick Saban for years, including in the NFL. Every position Smart has coached has been nothing short of spectacular and I feel that he would turn Michigan and their defense into a winner right away. Smart is only 33, but as Josh Mcdaniels is proving in Denver, age is overrated and studying under Nick Saban is a plus for becoming a head coach. I feel Smart would turn next years Michigan roster into an immediate winner and he could turn the program into one of the most respected again.

Input: [Date] 5 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Seymour was not really utilized as a pass rusher in that defense. He was mostly tasked with taking up multiple blockers so that the LBs had gaps to attack. That being said losing Harrison, Vrable, Bruschi, Seymour, Hobbs, and now Mayo is really taking it's toll on the D. Dan Pees on the pass rush: "We can always improve in the rush, but also some of it designed by gameplan to play some coverage and some of it was designed to put some pressure on them.

Blazefire, dealers are independantly owned and operated. Manufacturers have no ability to tell the dealers what to do. You can complain, and those complaints will be forwarded to the dealer, but they cannot force the dealer to do anything. bj, the dealer i work at would have charged you $100 to tell you that. gas cap = evaporative system leak. Diagnosing this usually means they had to pressurize the fuel system and follow for the leak. The tech is gonna charge 1 hour labor for that. that being said, when a customer tells me their service engine light is on my 1st question is always 'did you just get gas? is the cap tight? check it and call me back'. gordie, was the car new when you bought it? if so the remotes are probably covered under the factory warranty. i would guess at least 3 years, but i don't know what specific make you have. there are dozens of different extended warranties out there. some cover remotes, some don't. you can always call them directly and ask, it's possible the advisor is assuming they don't cover it cause so many don't and he never specifically checked. did you already try replacing the batteries in the remotes? if it's not the remotes themselves then yeah, i could see having to leave it off for a while, electrical diagnostics are a bear. hope this helps [Title]

Of course they're stupid, you closed their schools and took their (likely outdated) books! (just kidding kiddos, dont get upset, im working towards a greater good here) Seriously, people have to wonder about this kind of crap? How is this possible? Why do we let our politicians be bought and sold by corporations like chattel? Everyone says the system is broken, yet no one seems to ever be able to do anything about it. If anyones got any ideas, Im all ears. We cant just let this country get run into the ground.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] I remember that color well [Body]

Bought it used, and they had the typical GM rotting floorboard allows water to seep in issue, so when I got that car (It had been parked for about a year) there was moss growing on the INSIDE of the windows because with the moisture and the heat of the summer the car had basoically truned into a terrarium. Oh yeah, it also had an aluminum head. The problem with the aluminum heads was that if they'd get too hot, they'd warp, and not even replacing the head gasket would help. I remember being stuck in traffic in that POS, watching the temperature gauge climb towards the ionosphere, and turning the heat on even though it was 95 degrees outside to try and keep it running long enough to escape whatever traffic jam I was in and put more coolant in. When I took it to the junkyard, I asked if I could push the crusher button on it, but insurance and safety and blah blah blah

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Gerald White [Body]

Output: was my first favorite Wolverine. My best friend in Elementary school (in Ohio) was also a U of M fan, and he had one of the old Champion M jerseys that had "MICHIGAN" emblazoned across the front, but otherwise looked just like game day jerseys (survivors of the 80's you may remember these). He had #23 because he loved Jamie Morris (didnt' everyone?) I wanted one of those jerseys so, so badly. Living in Ohio made them pretty tough to come by. At Christmas that year, my Aunt and Uncle tried to get one for me, but they weren't willing to drive to AA from Sterling Heights to get one, so I got my very first piece of licensed M gear, a sweatshirt with the seal. Finally, the next summer, we spent a week up at Sleeping Bear, Mackinac, Charlevoix, Torch Lake etc, and on the way back to Grandma's in Royal Oak we stopped in AA at Moe's. I ended up with Gerald White's #22, which was fine by me, because back then I played fullback in Pop Warner. Cool story bro


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] ok here is the math [Body]

Output: price- 1600 tax (8%) - 128 dealer "documentation" fee- $175 (they showed it to me the previous day) title/plates - $42.50 Total- $1945.50 So when I offered $1800 "out the door" I was not offering more than the advertised price. Also, keep in mind this was a car I determined the day before was worth $2k to me, so I wasn't trying to negotiate for every last dime. At the time it seemed about the best I'd be able to do for the money I wanted to spend and actually get to keep some of my planned budget in the bank long enough to pay other bills with, so I was ok with that

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] totally weird when I bough my car [Body]

Output: the first day I went to look the sticker said $2500, and their first offer was 3k including title and fees and tax and whatnot. After checking the carfax and talking to the mechanic who filed 32 service records, I told them I could go to 2k total. They came back at $2500 and we parted ways for the day. Next day, I was still thinking about the car and went back on their website. i was considering calling the dealer back and upping my offer to $2200. On the website, I noticed that the price had dropped overnight from $2500 to $1600. I called the dealer and verified it was the same car. And he says "now we can do the 2k you offered, out the door. do you want it now?" I said sure, but Ill only pay $1800, I had to spend some money last night on Thomas the Tank Engine playsets. Dude paused for a minute, probably annoyed that I was still chipping away at him, but I got it (also, it WAS month end, definitely helped. Im no wizard, nor do I claim to be)

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] cool story time [Body]

Output: For most of my life Ive driven "beaters" (for lack of a better term). What I mean is a car I buy outright that might need a wrench turned here or an alternator swapped there, keep them for a couple years and repeat. Recently, I sold the only vehicle I ever had a payment on, a 2003 F-150, that had been paid off for close to 5 yrs (bought it used. Never buy new!) Anyhow, Im scanning Craigslist and Auto trader and the local fishwrap classifieds and here is a piece of advice you may or may not want to incorporate into your own search. I found I had more luck dealing with a dealer than a private seller. On the face this seems odd, as dealers would upsell their mothers if they're given the chance, but let me explain my reasoning. I had 2 main reasons for this (and if things hadnt worked, I wouldve tried another dealer, or gone back to the drawing board). This isnt meant to be gosepl set in stone, more "suggestive". First thing- most dealers just turn and sell the vehicles they take in on trade (especially if theyre over 100k on the odometer) to a wholesaler or auction and make a couple hundred a unit and dont deal with whatever problems they might have. However, there are some dealers out there (you can find them) that will keep a select few of their traded in vehicles and sell them off of their lot. Generally these are the "better" trades that either have a higher resale, or are in pretty good shape. For the most part, if a dealer thinks the car might be a lemon that could end up in negative press they'll jettison it, but if they think its decent enough (from a low price high mileage car perspective), they will keep it and try to see if they can make a grand or so. Lots of times you'll get a free carfax too. The second reason you may want to see what a dealer has on the wholesale lot is because instead of having to bum a ride of a friend or realtive to go look at a car 20 minutes away only to find out the reason there was no picture of the right rear quarter panel in the ad was because there was no right rear quarter panel, and having wasted all that time, you can go to one place and see 5-10 cars all at once and increase your odds of finding something decent before youre friends start ducking your calls. Now, the dealer is going to try and make a few hundy off you, and they may say they cant deal with you too much because their margins are already slim, but you can still make an offer. I find the "Ill give you xxx, out the door, including tax title and plates" the best angle. It helps make their silly dealer fees vanish in a hurry. 3 weeks ago, I did exactly this after selling my truck, and I ended up with a 2003 Taurus with 117k on the clock. The car is as loaded as Taurus' got in 2003, and I paid $1800 for it, from a dealer, who had the price listed as $2500. So, do with this info whatever you like. Merely relaying whats worked for me in the past

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I agree [Body]

Output: lots of people out there like to think of themselves as the ultimate fan. I know I did before I found MGoBlog. WD raises the bar for all of us. Also I'm willing to bet lots of the people who give him shit are jealous that they don't have that kind of free time. In the 80s I uses to add stats up with a USA Today and a calculator. Now I have a job and a family and a mortgage and "free time" means I got to poop without someone knocking on the bathroom door.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I love those threads [Body]

Output: when I wake up in the middle of the night to pee and can't shut my mind back off to get back to sleep those threads are better than Xanax


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I have [Body]

Output: 18 of his rookie cards. Yes please retire his number. maybe they'll be worth $4 each then


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I can still hear [Body]

Output: that goddamn clown laughing at me


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Born there [Body]

Output: Havent been back since. Well, when i was 12 my cousin and I used to ride bikes over there from his house in Berkley and oogle the cars in the Doctors parking lot. There was a Testarossa that gave me a funny feeling in my shorts


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Being that I live in Ohio [Body]

Output: I had the chance to see LeBron's SVSM team when he was a senior in high school. LeBron and his teammates grew up together and basically considered each other brothers. Those guys LOVED playing with each other and they were essentially indomitable.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Not stadium mustard [Body]

Output: Bertman's Ballpark mustard. Only found in Cleveland, I believe. Stadium mustard is garbage


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Irregardless [Body]

Output: for all intensive purposes we know what he was trying to say


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Title] you know [Body]

Output: I was feeling all full of myself because we have 3 rescues in my house, but EYB and his Wife (who sounds like a fantastic person) probably have a barn full. The world needs more good people like that. My hat's off to them


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Im thinking [Body]

Output: Staple his nutsack to the floor, using one of those industrial T-50 staplers


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Title] all i have to ask [Body]

Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Title] when I was little [Body]

Output: I thought his name was Roscoe Picotrane. Also, a little later in life my Parents bought a Bassett Hound puppy and I campaigned for his name to be Flash (my sister won, and he was named Crawford) That is all I have to share. RIP Mr. Best


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 4 days ago [Title] rated [Body]

Output: 5 fakes out of 5


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] It did? Please explain what [Body]

Output: It did? Please explain what point I missed. Brand recognition matters to an extent. Winning and player development matter more. The end. Harvard has great brand recognition. That data point means next to nothing without a competent football team to go along with it. But MSU is doing pretty well for themselves on the recruiting trail as of late even without a $100 million deal from Nike.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Or we could just win football [Body]

Output: Or we could just win football games? That would probably be helpful.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Porchetta on the pellet smoker [Body]

Output: Not the authentic Italian version with a suckling pig but I'll wrap a center cut pork loing in a huge piece of pork belly and roast on the smoker for 3 hours or so. I am a huge fan of the RecTec it allows me to not be attached to monitoring my fire for 6-12 hours when bbq'ing.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Oh, and run Bayshore in [Body]

Output: Oh, and run Bayshore in Traverse City in the spring if the oppurtunity comes up. That is a PR course and small scale marathon put on at a very high level.,


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Title] We've only ever stayed at the [Body]

Output: We've only ever stayed at the RenCen, it is close and reasonable if you book through the detroit marathon link. The course is really nice, although most will tell you the back half is a little boring (it is) and sparsely populated by fans (true as well). Mostly flat course although the bridge will take its toll later in the race if you don't check your pace. You will have evil thoughts towards Belle isle forever - bridge incline mile 19 going on and 23 going off and will run into a head wind the entire time. I've run 5 differennt courses and Detroit on 4 occasions, I think it's a fairly hard course. Running my first Boston in 2 weeks so I'm interested to see how it stacks up in comparison. I was almost stopped heading into Canada by border police because my bib was concealed. I carry my enhanced ID for piece of mind by it probably isn't necessary although if you are stopped you are screwed. I've never seen anyone get stopped unless their bib is covered. Ambassodor bridge sunrise and coming out of the tunnel into America is unlike anything I've experienced in a race and for the cost I recommend.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 3 days ago [Title] One of those future pros was [Body]

Output: One of those future pros was Griese, he started around 100 games if memory serves me right. Not saying he was a pro bowler but still it takes a little talent to accomplish that.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I have no love for Izzo, but [Body]

Output: I have no love for Izzo, but it sounds like he considers pre-college activity to be the source of the problem. I don't necessarily agree with his assessment but I don't think he is taking any sort of shot at Michigan. I'm also not sure how the question was asked but the part about Lavert probably get's the lead because he was a more significan player then Bess. He says identical things about both guys so he is either taking shots at himself and our coach or just commenting on the issue with no agenda what-so-ever. I'm not sure stress factures, tendonitis, or other over-use injuries are more common now but I think he has a point about taking time away to rest the body. Most of these injuries start as something the guys can play through so they do that and the cumulative effect sidelines them eventually.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 1 day ago [Title] John Clayton already gave it [Body]

Output: John Clayton already gave it to you. He couldn't get an offer out of another NFL team because they all recognize his terrible personality will tear apart any organization he touches. So going back to college was his only option, you see? He literally begged Michigan to hire him.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 3 days ago [Title] They basically made a front [Body]

Output: They basically made a front page story out of Schefter's tweet. I really can't remember if there ever was any integrity or investigative skill at ESPN back in the day, but now it is nothing more then sensationalized re-hashing of sporting events and news. They have nothing to offer when it comes to actual news stories and their "reporters" are ill equipped and trained to handle breaking news - they just don't have any practice at it. Didn't basically the same thing happen with Mantei Teo? Didn't ESPN refuse to report and acknowledge sources outside of their own? I get needing to verify sources and not just recycling the reporting of others if you can't independently verify - but the bigger problem seems that they aren't getting any information of their own. Well except for Wiley and they seem to be ignoring him.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I thought that too but [Body]

Output: I thought that too but "staffers" could be any of 100 employees. Could be the water boy or it could be their anonymous league source. Or it is made up bullshit - I could go either way.
