Input: [Date] 4 years 21 weeks ago [Body] So you think if the best player available is a WR, TE, or RB we should take them? If so, that's absolutely ridiculous. I agree that OT would be an acceptable pick, but we have a much bigger need at OLB and CB. As for your comment about the defensive line, apparently you didn't watch the games too closely last year, because they generally dominated the line of scrimmage despite having a terrible secondary and linebacking core behind them. And KVB, who you for some reason want to replace, goes 100% every play and still has 3 years left on his contract. Are the Lions great? Absolutely not. However, best player available is no longer an option. [Title]

Output: So you think if the best


Input: [Date] 4 years 21 weeks ago [Body] For the first time in years, "best player available" is not the right strategy, which is sweet but makes the 13th spot less than optimal. I think we should and will go CB and OLB in the first two rounds (the order will depend on who is on the board). Offensive tackle and then maybe a fat back or possession reciever in the later rounds sounds good. As for all the safety talk, I really think Spievey will be solid alongside Delmas. He showed flashes last season and will only get better, considering he was new to the position last year. [Title]

Output: For the first time in years,


Input: [Date] 4 years 21 weeks ago [Body] Having a broken foot has nothing to do with Peterman's insistence on getting at least one false start penalty nearly every game. Nor being a below-average NFL guard his entire career. [Title]

Output: Having a broken foot has


Input: [Date] 4 years 22 weeks ago [Body] Couldn't agree more. He is, admittedly, quite athletic and coordinated for a skinny, 6'8 middle schooler, but when you are that much bigger than the kids you are playing against you are going to dominate. If he plays varsity at a D-1 high school as a freshman, I would be surprised if he made much noise. [Title]

Output: Couldn't agree more. He is,


Input: [Date] 4 years 22 weeks ago [Body] Seeing as DB wasn't AD at that point, it's pretty hard to blame him for that. [Title]

Output: Seeing as DB wasn't AD at


Input: [Date] 4 years 23 weeks ago [Body] With the talent Hoke has coming in, I see anything less than 7-5 as a disappointment. That being said, the more important thing will be to see steady improvement throughout the season. Yes, our team was young last year, but to show absolutely no improvement on defense and special teams was quite alarming. [Title]

Output: With the talent Hoke has


Input: [Date] 4 years 26 weeks ago [Body] You sound a bit like Holden Caufield. Admittedly, the search was an absolute circus, however, it wound up netting Greg Mattison and a solid head coach. [Title]

Output: You sound a bit like Holden


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] I made it through both CMU and NW as well. Though I would have to say staying through the whole OSU was easily the most miserable. It was cold, rainy, and an absolute blow-out. [Title]

Output: I made it through both CMU

Input: [Date] 24 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Central Football has been at [Body]

Output: Central Football has been at or below .500 almost every season the past 5 years. This does not really seem that encouraging.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 2 days ago [Title] What's the maximum for a [Body]

Output: What's the maximum for a team? 85? This doesn't seem like too big a deal with attrition being what it is. We've already had two (three?) players leave for elsewhere.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I can't believe some posters [Body]

Output: I can't believe some posters are reacting this way. If the coaches deem a recruit worthy of an offer, that should be good enough. How can you be upset a coach tweeted one word and it may not mean what you want it to mean?


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] So he should downplay lower [Body]

Output: So he should downplay lower ranked recruits so he has credibility with US????


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Title] It seems like it's more the [Body]

Output: It seems like it's more the coaches making sure to cover their bases. We still have a shot with these guys and it could be that they haven't made their minds up yet. No reason to put all the eggs in one basket.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Disagree. Weber, by all [Body]

Output: Disagree. Weber, by all accounts, is torn, so it makes sense to continue to recruit the position. It'd be irresponsible not to.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Title] A lot of people are getting [Body]

Output: A lot of people are getting really worked up over someone who isn't even coaching at Michigan. Who cares what his reasons were?


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 2 days ago [Title] If Michigan does land him, it [Body]

Output: If Michigan does land him, it will be interesting to see which side of the ball he ends up on, especially if Pickard commits and Clark re-commits.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Good for him. Why should he [Body]

Output: Good for him. Why should he have to answer meaningless questions and why does the media keep asking him questions when its clear this is what's gonna happen?


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I think McGary and Horford [Body]

Output: I think McGary and Horford leaving early is more of the problem for this year's team, which McGary would be back this year if not for afwul NCAA rules. So not just direct NBA attrition.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Nice! A position of need for [Body]

Output: Nice! A position of need for sure and seems to be a solid player! Welcome to Michigan!


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Looks likely that we're gonna [Body]

Output: Looks likely that we're gonna get several strong players who will be ready to contribute and looking at our depth chart down the line these guys will need to!


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] No player's ever done [Body]

Output: No player's ever done 50/50/90 before. Also, a lot of people have been talking about the Hawks, there's not too much time spent on them because they don't have a huge star. Reminds me a lot of the Pistons when they won the title.

Output: 1. HUSTLE 2. LOYALTY 3. RESPECT


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Title] The Pistons actually did [Body]

Output: The Pistons actually did request to interview Trye Burke at the combine, but they were denied. Each team only gets 18 interviews and they put in their requests and the NBA decides who talks to who. Plus, Burke made a comment that he was already pretty familar with Dumars, and I'm sure the Pistons probably had scouts at most UofM home games.

Output: I was thinking Sunshine from Remember the Titans could have made that pitch.

Output: Play outdoor game he would score 50.

Output: Anyone saying he should have to graduate is only saying that because they selfishly want him to stay longer.


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Title] The ref tried to stop the [Body]

Output: The ref tried to stop the game then the players said they wanted to keep playing. I wasn't watching the game closely but I'm pretty sure both team's players wanted to continue.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] This whole thing is so [Body]

Output: This whole thing is so fucking stupid.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] Whey were they playing such [Body]

Output: Whey were they playing such few minutes?


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] I don't really care about the [Body]

Output: I don't really care about the BTT at all. I'd rather the players were able to rest up rather than wearing themselves out in 3-4 games in as many days. Honestly, Michigan's probably going to be a 4 seed or better, and that's fine with me. This team is good enough to beat anyone on any day especially on a neutral court. Don't need to be a 1 seed.


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Who considers this a rivalry? [Body]

Output: Who considers this a rivalry? The only "rivals" the Wings have had were the Avs pre-1st lockout.

Output: Social Media can be really awesome every so often.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] MMA/UFC/"Gladiator" people [Body]

Output: MMA/UFC/"Gladiator" people arent killing themselves (EDIT: and others) and donating their brains to science.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] i think it would have to be [Body]

Output: i think it would have to be something along the lines of leaving your feet to launch at the other player would be a good determining factor. that plus leading with your head and aiming directly at the opposing player's face. if they went back to actually tackling instead of trying to make EPSN's highlight reel with a big hit, there would be a lot less ambiguity about the call. it would be harder to call it a hit on a defenseless player if you're wrapping your arms around for a tackle rather than just trying to blow the guy up.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] and i think a lot of this [Body]

Output: and i think a lot of this comes from something that drives me crazy as a football fan. basically once a player with the ball gets beyond the linebackers, tackling is no longer involved. how many times do you see DBs shoulder block a guy catching a ball near him, 90+%? if the guys actually wrapped their arms around and tackled i think just that in itself could take away some of the helmet to face you see so much of


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] time to start letting it go [Body]

Output: time to start letting it go man


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] Keep on the front page [Body]

Output: this needs to be kept on the front page somewhere, even if it's just the date somewhere to avoid the hundreds of threads between now and April asking if anyone knows when the game is.


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] i'm from NC and absolutely [Body]

Output: i'm from NC and absolutely can't stand duke and i know they'll lose a handfull of games this year but i seriously doubt this will be one of those


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] a lot like i tell my daughter [Body]

Output: a lot like i tell my daughter almost daily, don't get yourself in that position to where you can get caught up in something bad. either way it's a very unfortunate situation for all three to be in with their futures potentially changed forever.


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] For sports [Body]

Output: as far as sports go The Show is the best baseball game out there. i haven't played this years because i have last years and there really wasn't much new that mattered to me. NHL is always a solid choice as far as sports go as well. like someone said above, Red Dead Redemption can be found in game of the year edition for around $20 and you can waste away so many hours of your life on. this, just like the show, is more so a single player game IMO but NHL is a blast online but has some good offline features as well.


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Title] not going to lie [Body]

Output: i'm not going to lie and say that didn't bring a little tear to the eyes. it's great hearing about how these guys who are really still kids themselves putting in the time with kids who i'd imagine just want to forget where they are and why for just a little while. this was a great story about two great people, very nice


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] i ask because i honestly [Body]

Output: i ask because i honestly don't know any better but i looked at dead period and quiet period rules and i didn't see anything regarding statements from the university or anything like that as being a rules violation, only against contact beyond "hello" to recruits. what am i missing as far as any rules being broken?


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] i don't know... [Body]

Output: i don't know if i can go against ND. all season long i've pulled against them and hoped for them to lose, even as recently as last week when it was basically a 3-way tie at the top. BUT, now that it's this week and if ND loses it will in all likelihood be an all SEC NC game again, i'm more so pulling against that than a ND win. i dislike brian kelly and basically the whole ND team but as a college football fan i have gained a lot of respect for Manti Te'o as a football player and as a human this season, so in a way i rationalize it that way i guess.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] it's unbelieveable how much [Body]

Output: it's unbelieveable how much they believe it. i talked to a couple last night and one swears about how he knows someone that ran into someone that would know and he said it's a done deal, so it's gotta be the truth. the other tells me about how it was a done deal last week but when you ask why they haven't just come out and said it, this time it's because the MNF deal won't let them announce it until the last monday night game this season, which makes absolutely no sense to at all, but i'm a michigan fan so what do i know.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Kiffin == Herpes [Body]

Output: Kiffin is like a gift that keeps on giving, even when you don't want anymore


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] The fans hate Sunseri almost [Body]

Output: The fans hate Sunseri almost more than they hate Dooley but then again I know a lot of UT fans personally and they as a whole could possibly be one of the most irrational and delusional fanbases I've ever seen.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] very few. if you read some of [Body]

Output: very few. if you read some of the Tennessee boards, they all are certain he's coming and its just a matter of time. it's rather amusing reading come of their crap.


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Title] USA Today is doing their best [Body]

Output: USA Today is doing their best to make it happen. so far two SEC teams have passed USC in two weeks even though they haven't lost. same thing happened last year when bama and lsu passed oklahoma while all three teams were undefeated.


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Title] i'm not so certain i would [Body]

Output: i'm not so certain i would "vote" for the voiding of a LOI in the event of a coaching change. you hear all the time that players should commit to the school and not the coach, even though you can't blame an 18 yr old kid for getting attached to people that schmooze him and tell him everything he wants to hear for commiting to the coach rather than the school. i think if nothing else any school that's being investigated by the NCAA and there is even a slight possibility there may be a head coaching change coming because of said investigations, it might keep some players available to other schools by knowing that if they sign the LOI and the coach that offered and promised them more than other schools gets canned they're stuck there and won't be so fast to pull the trigger


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Title] I think one other thing that [Body]

Output: I think one other thing that makes a difference is how ESPN likes to tell everyone over and over that the SEC is the best and toughest conference. If you're an 18 yr old kid and you know that you're going to be seen by more people around the country by playing in the SEC because ESPN is going to show the majority of their games and you'll get even more face time on Sportscenter then why wouldn't you want to go there if exposure is one of the big things you're looking for. This I think helps funnel the players to the SEC more so than the other conferences as a whole, perception becomes reality.


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Congrats! [Body]

Output: Yes Congratulations Tom and Ms. VH since she did most of the work up to this point. If only baby VH could have held out until tomorrow he would have the same bday as me.

Output: Merry Christmas to all you guys and girls that make this site great. May you enjoy every moment of it with friends and family!


Input: [Date] 3 years 33 weeks ago [Title] that stadium is literally [Body]

Output: that stadium is literally less than 10 miles from my house and the field always looks that way. during the summer they use it as a race track and they have demolition derbys and all kinds of what not there that destroys the field. but you're right, you'd think they could do a little more to make the field at least playable on.


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Title] bad thing is it probably will [Body]

Output: bad thing is it probably will happen with how much espn and all the other press and media love them some SEC. i was pissed when alabama and lsu jumped oklahoma despite the sooners not losing or even having close games as far as i recall


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] i'll take the blame for this [Body]

Output: i'll take the blame for this one too, i gave up the traditional #1 jersey for a new M hoodie. it was so soft and comforting i couldn't not wear it. the question i have about that is should i have washed it first before wearing the first time, could that have made the difference. it will definately be washed before next saturday and IF i choose to wear it again an M loses, then anyone want a free hoodie?


Input: [Date] 3 years 40 weeks ago [Title] i'm not really sure of a way [Body]

Output: i'm not really sure of a way that this could be of use and i'm sure most of you have seen this but it still makes me laugh. maybe you could put it somewhere in the money.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] Fitz [Body]

Output: i'm hoping for a huge dose of toussaint this year, he absolutely kills in NCAA 11 and 12 so that means he can do it for real right? Fitz has always been one i've been very excited to see what he can do with the chance


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] i can't recall who the OP was [Body]

Output: i can't recall who the OP was that is responsible for this, i just saw it pop up on here a few weeks ago and saved the link. hopefully someone can claim it and get their credit. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/SyWIae2ZOLxXjwxM0FFkDozBXRnq3xKyuvrh1lQBmfU?feat=directlink


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] go buy it [Body]

Output: i have played the show since 09 and like you purchased a PS3 specifically for the show. i never really got into the pitching much on the previous versions because i could never truely control where the pitches went, they would be close but consistancy is what frustrated me. the meter pitching is wonderful this year, you have much more control over up, down, left and right with the ball. as others have said, the point system is so much better also. you don't usually rack up 150 points in one game, mostly when hitting, like you could easily do in previous versions but you don't get a fail on certain challenges because of the dumbass computer baserunners, you still get points for good contact, timing and/or working the pitch count. as much as it's still the same game, the minor tweaks were a great improvment. and yes the commentating is terrible as a lot of people say but the have some funny lines every now and then.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] i always thought that with [Body]

Output: i always thought that with all the prep work tate did to become a top qb he may have been pretty close to his ceiling as a freshman while denard was so raw his ceiling was so far away. tate was as good as you could have expected as a true freshman but maybe there just wasn't that much room for improvement as far as his capabilities. i still wish the kid well though.


Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Title] i'll be getting on sometime [Body]

Output: i'll be getting on sometime later today and i'll send you guys some friend invites and go from there inviting you guys to a team.


Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Title] yes i'm talking about the [Body]

Output: yes i'm talking about the EASHL teams. just looking for some new guys to play with, i generally play center, what about you guys?

Output: you could always rock one of these


Input: [Date] 2 hours 1 min ago [Body] I wonder what he's up to these days. He seems to be one of those former players who has disappeared off the face of the earth. I felt the same way about Elvis Grbac until Harbaugh had him talk to the team a few months back. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad [Title]

Output: I wonder what he's up to


Input: [Date] 14 hours 57 sec ago [Body] I'm still blown away that the conference would even allow such a thing to happen in the first place, Dave Brandon or no Dave Brandon. In the last 40 years, no B1G team has had to travel to a rival's stadium two years in a row. That's unheard of in the modern era. Granted, because of the number of teams in conference, there have been instances where there have been two straight (non-rival) meetings at one stadium but it was always evened out. For instance, we played Minnesota at the Metrodome in 2002 and 2003 and we played them at the big house in 2004 and 2005. In the 80's, we did a similar pattern when we played Iowa. Why the crap is there no effort to even out this thing with Sparty? I was never a fan of Dave Brandon and I'm glad he's gone. But did he really have the power to fight that? [Title]

Output: I'm still blown away that the

Output: Because the league providing


Input: [Date] 1 day 8 min ago [Body] Agree. I'll take Army, Air Force and Navy over the MAC schools or 1-AA schools any time. Navy was a pretty common opponent during the Schembechler years. It's also the only time you'll hear the big house crowd cheer for the opponent. During pregame of the Air Force game a couple years ago, it was weird to hear the cheers but at the same time, it made sense. You're not going to boo the Air Force. [Title]

Output: Agree. I'll take Army, Air


Input: [Date] 1 day 1 hour ago [Body] I kind of like the thought of a wall of honor...or something along those lines. But I'm with you on honoring over retiring...except when it comes to Harmon. It just didn't feel right to see his number brought back. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad [Title]

Output: If you give me your email


Input: [Date] 5 days 34 min ago [Body] I love how excited the crowd is to do the wave in 84. I have an old Detroit News article on the 85 Notre Dame game (Harbaugh's junior year) and it mentions that the first half was a total snoozer. The only entertaining thing being the students several failed attempts at starting the wave. Had the newness of the wave already faded after two years? Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad [Title]

Output: I love how excited the crowd


Input: [Date] 5 days 39 min ago [Body] That's kind of impressive when you also factor in that Cook had a superior defense and better OL to work with than Rudock. Rudock's stats behind a horrible OL ala-Michigan are already a pleasant surprise. I'll honestly be shocked if he isn't the starter this Fall. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad [Title]

Output: That's kind of impressive

Input: [Date] 1 week 48 min ago [Body] That video from 77 is amazing. I envy anyone who got to experience THE GAME during the Ten Year War. So many times where both teams were ranked in the top 5 and battling for that Rose Bowl or no bowl. OSU marveled in dickish behavior like they do now (trying to rip down the banner, Woody taunting the crowd, Woody punching TV cameras, throwing sideline markers.) Give me a time machine and I'm going to that 77 game. I'd love to see what the campus was like before and after. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad [Title]

Output: Going in knowing what we know


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] That was a good read. I'm kind of disappointed that this is Harbaugh's first game. Even with the pieces Utah lost, it's going to be very difficult to win there. I'm not expecting us to be world beaters in year one but winning the first game to a hopeful start of a new era would feel pretty amazing. [Title]

Output: That was a good read. I'm


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] I kind of agree but the original title of the book was, "The rise and fall of Michigan Football," which many found a little too depressing. Now that we have Hackett and Harbaugh, you can say "return" in regards to them. But I'm sure many others outside the program will find the title to be very Notre Dameish. [Title]

Output: I kind of agree but the


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] With "Three & Out," I read up until the night before RichRod's first game but couldn't go any further and relive the countless horrors. So I mailed the book to my uncle in California. With this one, I'm going to read through the whole thing, because of the epic light at the end of the tunnel. Not just the hiring of Harbaugh but Dave Brandon's exit. Although, I'm still kind of in shock mode that Harbaugh is our head coach. I fear sometimes that I'm going to wake up and it's still the week following last year's Minnesota game. [Title]

Output: With "Three & Out," I read up


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] All of last season is a horrible blur of crap. I can't remember which day it was but Desmond said on Gameday that he went to the Michigan practices that week and didn't like what he saw. Something about Peppers looking like the only player that was putting any effort in. [Title]

Output: All of last season is a

Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I can't believe some posters are reacting this way. If the coaches deem a recruit worthy of an offer, that should be good enough. How can you be upset a coach tweeted one word and it may not mean what you want it to mean? [Title]

Each team only gets 18 interviews and they put in their requests and the NBA decides who talks to who.

Honestly, Michigan's probably going to be a 4 seed or better, and that's fine with me. This team is good enough to beat anyone on any day especially on a neutral court. Don't need to be a 1 seed.

Output: And there's three scholarship QBs and two walk ons. It has only mattered for the copper bowl where one of the priorities is getting younger guys more practice and game time. Should he have recruited extra kickers/punters because Gibbons can't go and Hagerup is suspended? A bigger priority at the time was trying to build depth at OL and LB where players rotate and get injured much more often.

Output: From being at the game these numbers definitely match up with how possession/momentum went. 1st: even with BC edge 2nd: Michigan gaining momentum but still mostly even 3rd: Michigan basically dominates possession Top two lines seemed like they were pretty much dominant possession wise. Even more impressive when you consider how BC play, highly skilled and like to possess the puck.

Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Title] Total team corsi is good for previewing a matchup, [Body]

Output: Total team corsi is good for previewing a matchup, especially in B1G pay when we'll see each team four times. But as a post game recap I find it less useful, it simply says who carried pay which is more or less obvious by watching the game. Player/line corsi is more useful at breaking down who played well or poorly in a particular game, but is obviously more time intensive. GbG stuff is a lot more informative on the technical side.


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Title] Doesn't seem like he cares [Body]

Output: Doesn't seem like he cares about being signed right now, probably wants to see how the draft shakes out first.


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] I wouldn't forget the Ducks [Body]

Output: I wouldn't forget the Ducks in the West, have been playing very well this year and could easily give Chicago a run for their money over 7 games. There's also Montreal and Boston out east who still have stronger goaltending than the Pens, which is the great equalizer in the playoffs.


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] I went to bed at one and Iggy was Boston-bound, I [Body]

Output: I went to bed at one and Iggy was Boston-bound, I wake up at 9 and he's going to Pittsburgh. I can only assume the Pens pulled the same witchcraft from when they got Crosby, Malkin, and Fleury all at once.


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Title] The series at Yost was [Body]

Output: The series at Yost was probably just before the really crappy part. Going into that series Michigan hadn't scored less than 4 goals in a game and went another weekend before scoring less than 3. After that the real crap began and they had a 6 game stretch where they scored 6 goals total and averaged 4.5 goals against, a trend which continued until basically Febuary. That said I really like our chances, we seem to be playing out of our minds (or maybe just to our talent level). And Miami lost last weekend to FYS, which in the games I've seen them play is deservedly the worst team in the conference. Not to mention we have been lighting up some of the top goalies in the country in Slubowski and Hjelle and will need more of the same against Ryan McKay who is pretty much hands down the best goalie in hockey

Output: He was not on the bench for the second half


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Good Assessment [Body]

Output: I agree with all that you said. This team just doesn't do "the little things" like they should. The refusal to dump and chase, poor board play (better tonight), losing almost all the puck battles, unable to keep the puck in the zone (often leading to odd man rushes). These are the little things that less talented teams like Bowling Green are beating us at. There are some players doing these consistently - Copp, Sinelli, Treais, Nieves, Kevin and Travis Lunch come to mind. But as a whole they're not done enough.


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Title] More energy overall, the [Body]

Output: More energy overall, the problem is when we're down there's only a few guys who keep the energy up (playing physical, getting to loose pucks, holding the Blue line etc.)

Input: [Date] 4 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Reposted from a thread with no traffic (is that allowed?)... [Body]

Output: What they did is wrong according to the rules. We can ALL debate ethics until the end of time. But, when rules are set and established by a governing body they are expected to be followed. There is no way to draw the line: $1 or $1 million, it's all the same. You can say what you want about the NCAA, but they have an extremely hard job policing ALL sports, regardless of division. They can only condemn a program or someone in cases where hard evidence has been provided. Name one case where someone was in trouble with the NCAA and the allegations weren't too far from the truth. "Where there is smoke there is fire." Needless to say, I am sure there are instances where the NCAA knows there has been wrongdoing but do not have the evidence to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. It's kinda like the court of law! In addition, don't you think they have some of the best lawyers that are guiding their exposure to financial litigation? Agree with it or not, the NCAA is totally justified in handing the hammer down. As for Mr. T, this makes me wonder how much was going on with Mo Clarett. C'mon, the guy did not have an abundant childhood. But, yet Mr. T didn't notice that his "star" player was driving a vehicle that was obviously out of his parent's spending budget. And, didn't his Heisman QB get in some trouble about some payments for jobs he never did. Hhmm, I wonder if that University knew of his "employer"?! It didn't just start here folks, this guy has been turning his head for years.

Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Carr [Body]

Output: He beat Tressel how many times? Out recruited him how often? Played in more Championships? The list goes on. It's funny how the fan base basically forced the man into retirement after he was outclassed by App St and beaten very badly by Oregon at home. THE MASSES SCREAMED the 3 yards and a cloud of dust thing was DEAD! They wanted things more wide open. So, out they come in the Gator bowl against Florida and Urban Meyer's wide-open offense and beat them at their own game. And, off he rode into the sunset. The Michigan fans wanted something creative, innovative, and high-powered to keep with the new direction of college football. In came RR, which at time, was probably the most recognized offensive mind at the time. For some unknown reason, UM fans had a problem with the way he handled his situation at WVU. They were upset about the thought of a "buyout"...a buyout (reiterated for purpose). They were mad about Boren, an OSU transfer, proclaiming some mess about "family values." He went 3-9 in his first season with Steven Threet (that's been widely successful at his up-teen collegiate stops) & Nick Sheridan. 2nd year, he goes 5-7 with a back-up QB starting as a True Freshmen. 7-5, with signs of dangerous his offensive system could be. True, the defense was lousy. However, they WERE (and, still are) young. People please stop comparing true freshmen DBs to Charles Woodson (for that matter, don't compare anyone to him), they aren't him. RR only had 2 true recruiting while at UM. Wasn't he like 20 scholarship bodies under the limit at one time. Think about that, that is 20 additional allotment of player's he had to choose at his discretion. I can remember people calling for his job the 1st year he was at UM. Face it, he didn't have the support of the fan base, alumni, and local media from day one. He was always behind the eight-ball. Sadly, due to this whole "Michigan Man" thing, a bunch of self-proclaimed "Michigan Men" ran the man out of town. You can break down win-loss records all day, but anyone can recite all sorts of stats to skew reality in one's favor. So, was it working is definitely debatable (for another thread). I think the decision had to be made soley based on the fractions in the athletic community. It was becoming a circus atmosphere and that is the thing that is not the UM way. Who cares what plays a coach calls to score touchdowns and stop people from scoring. Tonight you are going to watch two of the most unconventional systems in all of college football playing for the 2011 MNC (14 years after UM's last MNC). Let's just hope the new coach knows how to motivate players and put them in the right spot to be successful, no matter what kind of scheme it is or what part of the country he has done most of his coaching!!!

Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] LOL!!! [Body]

Output: "If so, I might not have a pulse but you have no brain." This is classic. Of course you root for the team, but going into you had to have some kind of idea that they would get man handled up front against what is probably the best offensive line in the Nation.


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] In season... [Body]

Output: You can't tackle live during the season in practice. Of course, you use drills to simulate as much as possible. However, live tackles create injuries and during season when guys are banged up....um, not such a great idea. Nonetheless, the defense needs a spark and maybe a new DC is called for. But, regardless this team is only going to improve. Did you notice how many times the announcers addressed the amount 4 & 5 year seniors playing for Wisky? I'm just saying...


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Not so harsh [Body]

Output: Hey, no one is perfect. True, he has made his mistakes. But, at the same time he also has done a lot for the university and the city of Detroit. It's not like he has been to prison or locked some girl in a bar restroom or directed a "cat" fight ring or beat up his gf or etc, etc, etc. So, he likes to dance after he catches another 40 yard touchdown for the 1st place Jets. Simmer down, Skipper!!!


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Um.... [Body]

Output: Read above...


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

Output: Late in the game I was hoping the offense didn't turn the ball over for a touchdown. I was thinking, "Please just give the defense good enough field position to get a stop." HA


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Weather? [Body]

Output: Weather shouldn't matter. You still have to execute. Gotta be able to pitch & catch when the weather is adverse. The good teams do it. Nonetheless, they still didn't have the same wide open playbook that you normally see.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] FCS?! [Body]

Output: Is your reasoning that UMASS is an FCS school? Well, the potential ACC Champs and top 20 ranked Va Tech LOST to an FCS school at HOME. You can always learn from something when you don't play well. However, much rather spend that film session watching a W!!! "There is no such thing as a bad win."


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Offense Watered Down? [Body]

Output: Watching the game today it seemed as though RR didn't want to show too much on film going into the next 2 weeks. Once it looked like the defense was going to be able to handle their own against Purdue that he decided to keep it simple. I think due to some of the lack of creativity in the offensive game plan hindered the offense some. Sometimes pulling the reigns back a bit can throw off your momentum.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] "Karma" +1 [Body]

Output: That was well played, Sir.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] 2nd half [Body]

Output: I agree he had a tough time getting off of blocks. However, he seemed to play a little more aggressively in the 2nd and was often in position to make the play in the edge. IMHO, he grew up some today. It's exciting watching puppies grow up isn't it?


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] The defense overall... [Body]

Output: Played well for the most part. If they could learn to eliminate SO MANY FREAKING BIG PLAYS, they would be formidable. My personal opinion, the only difference b/w this offense and Oregon's is a defense that forces turnovers and 3 and outs. Look at what our offense was able to do today even with 5 turnovers due to the defense actually forcing some 3 and outs/TOs on downs. Lots of youngsters, but they are starting to grow up.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Cam Gordan [Body]

Output: I think Cam showed today why they think so highly of him. He played lights out and made some monster plays. With his size and athletic ability he is going to be one helluva player before it is all said and done.


Input: [Date] 4 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Wow! [Body]

Output: The other offense never goes backwards. The defense looks like a bunch of chickens with their heads chopped off...

Output: 1) Are you serious?!! 2)I mean, really, are you serious? THEY LOST 1 GAME!!!


Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Title] This is 4 years away... [Body]

Output: Has anyone thought about the fact there will be more QB recruits in the coming years. And, if recruiting goes as well as RR hopes than there will be a lot of QB battles in the coming years. Hopefully, this argument is mute. Competition is necessary when building a program. Look at the humbling lessons this has taught Tate. He learned a lot from sitting back and watching, thus is a better player. Isn't that the purpose of a coach, do whatever it takes to get the most out of his players? Devin has 3 more years for a redshirt. Besides, its better to have 3 QBs than 2.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] To the OP!!! [Body]

Output: You my friend are what we consider a traitor and should be ashamed of yourself. You ever heard of anything called loyalty to the people that pay your bills? I have been a Michigan for my entire life, but I do have enough for respect for the institution that awarded me my degree that I will have on my orange and brown at the game this weekend. As much as I want to see Michigan do extremely well, this is all I have to say... Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba Zoomba Zoomba, Ay-Ziggy- Zoomba-Zoomba-Ze, ROLL ALONG YOU BG WARRIORS!!! IMHO, if UM doesn't get their defense squared away they will lose this weekend. This team knows how to score points and they have for the past half decade or so. This team is going to be better than UMass. With that said, I think UM played like shit this past weekend and they will probably play a lot better next weekend.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Brian is 100% Correct [Body]

Output: In Cover 2, the corner's responsibility is to read 2 to 1 (that is the middle slot & outside receiver). The Sam backer (or whatever the heck that hybrid position is) should be leveraging #3 running to the flats. The corner should be getting depth with #2 and ideally sqeezing the outside receiver to the safety. The safety needs more depth so the he can see everything. The way this play should have played out is with the corner dropping off on the deep 15 yard out and the safety taking the deep route running into his deep half. If they would have thrown to #3 in the flats, you have two players (the corner and the Sam) with enough depth to rally to the ball. It was a good call by the offense, but the defense was definitely in bad position. If I were a coach grading the corner and safety, they both would have received a minus (maybe a double minus for the safety). Neither of them were correct...


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] This is hilarious!!! [Body]

Output: +1 to you, Sir.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] KSU over PSU...why not?! [Body]

Output: PSU looked horrible versus Alabama and Youngstown. Their defense looked slow and the offense looked very meh with their true freshman QB. We just witnessed 2 FCS teams upset BCS conference teams just last week. Kent State is in the MAC, a FBS conference, going against what has looked like a very average PSU team thus far. Now, mayber PSU proves me wrong an busts out this week. The way they've looked, I doubt it. Why is it crazy for him to pick this game as an upset?! KSU lost to Boston College in what was a fairly close game other than the 2 touchdowns scored in the 3rd quarter. Not to mention the MAC has played a lot of the B10 games tough over the past few seasons. IMHO, "Crazy" Lou's prediction is far from off-based...


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] To say that a patient is lazy or the doctor is incompetent if not "recovered" 5 months after an ACL reconstruction is just a ridiculous statement. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] But the clock did stop at :43. Watch the replay. Not for long, but clock stopped, chains were moving, and the ref started the clock going again. Quite quickly if you ask me but clock did stop. [Title]

Output: But the clock did stop at


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] The clock DID stop at :43 for the first down. The chains were (kind of ) reset, and the ref started the clock. We lost 11 seconds at the line of scrimmage trying to get our next play off before the ref stopped it again for the review. It seems to me that refs this year are really starting the clock very quickly after first downs. I've noticed several times that the chains are not even reset and the clock gets rolling again. [Title]

Output: The clock DID stop at :43 for


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] I believe that had the call been reversed, the clock would have been reset. Given that it wasn't, I think it was correct to not change the clock. Once they did restart the clock it probably did cost us an additional 3-4 seconds as we didn't snap the ball right away. [Title]

Output: I believe that had the call


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] Generally speaking, yes. The ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow is often times partially torn for a time and may or may not be completely torn at the time of reconstruction. it is typically a pain and loss of velocity issue, as opposed to gross instability, that leads to surgery, and this process can occur over time or sometimes acutely. While there are partial ACL tears that do not destabilize the knee and do not require surgery, the vast majority of ACL injuries result in a complete or high grade partial tear of the ligament that renders the knee unstable and in need of reconstruction. ACL injuries are acute. They are really two very different problems. [Title]

Output: Generally speaking, yes. The


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] No. ACL injuries are traumatic, not attritional or degenerative. The ligament tears acutely and destabilizes the knee. Typically, the knee is fine and then a split second later it is not. [Title]

Output: No. ACL injuries are


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] I don't agree with that. There is no literature to suggest that an ACL reconstructed knee is necessarily stronger or better than pre injury. While the transplanted patellar tendon or hamstring tendons are both stronger than the native ACL at the time of surgery, they undergo significant remodeling and revascularization which significantly diminishes their strength and stiffness at least early on, if not always. This is not to say that ACL reconstruction is not effective; clearly many if not most recover. Not all are able to return to 100% pre injury status however. [Title]

Output: I don't agree with that.


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] Orthopaedist here. Pure speculation, but a 2 week prognosis would imply cleaning up a small flap of cartilage or small flap tear of the meniscus that was removed (as opposed to repaired or stitched). With a first rate staff of docs and trainers like M has and a high level athlete, 2 weeks is possible but that is not typical for the average weekend warrrior. Once again; speculation - I know nothing at all of what Roundtree had done. [Title]

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 19 hours ago [Body] It seems to me that you and I will never agree, since the core of my argument is that the playoffs should be decided by series (7 game series at that) in order to determine who is the better team. Short series and the spacing between the games allow teams to roll out their aces twice a series, whereas longer series are a test of depth. Baseball has always been about the depth of teams. That is why the regular season is so long, and that is why until recently it was considered absurd to have anything but series. I don't entirely disagree with you and see that there is some merit to your reasoning, but I disagree with you entirely that these benefits outweigh the assault on the very core of the game itself. There are 162 games in the regular season, and if one wildcard makes it in by a couple games over the next best ones, then so be it. Just like the Braves, they could have helped themselves by winning their games. [Title]

Output: It seems to me that you and I


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 22 hours ago [Body] I understand these arguments, but I think some of the positive components of what you outline are overridden by what happened in 2012 during the first iteration of this format. A 94 win Braves team had to play an 88 win Cardinals team and ultimately lost a game played under protest due to one of the worst calls I have ever seen. Anyone who watched that game - which wasn't many because it started at 5PM on a Friday - should understand why a one game anything in baseball is not tenable; precisely because of that randomness. That the Cards went on to win the WS is a moot point, as they had no business being given equal treatment to a team that had a 6 game advantage on them, which played in a superior division, and which had won 5 of the 6 games against the Cardinals that season. Any benefit is far outweighed by the above being allowed to happen. [Title]

Output: I understand these arguments,


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 1 day ago [Body] An individual baseball game is more "random" because there are far more variables at work than there are in basketball, for example, where the same 6-8 guys play the same 6-8 other who run more or less the same plays. In baseball the batter-pitcher matchup, coupled with just how difficult it is for the offense to score in general produces such outcomes. I think baseball would be less "random" if the playoffs were as inclusive as other leagues, where the top 6-8 from the AL/NL each make it and they play a 7 game series (5 game series are too short IMO). In that scenario I think the better teams would win out at a similar rate as in football. That being said, I would hate that as a baseball fan. I think the 1 game play-in game is an abomination that should be strapped to an ICBM and launched into the sun. [Title]

I can't believe how many M students sold their tickets during fall break; A2 was INFESTED with PSU bros that weekend. They were out on South U and elsewhere picking fights and whatnot the Friday before. Funny how they didn't seem to be around on Saturday night. This is when I lost all respect for PSU, well before the most recent...events. This and Braylonfest were the two best live moments in sports for me. That Saturday was one of the biggest party nights that took place while I was at M. I think because it was a generally terrible season to that point and the game ended at night the student body turned it up to 11. [Title]

Input: [Date] 12 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I'm not really sure they are at a disadvantage in recruiting because Michigan is running a series of half day camps in the South. Auburn is permanently located in Alabama, so I don't think things have changed. Plus they pay their players, etc. They are just whining because they are babies. Also I think it's hilarious that Auburn thinks it is a bigger name than Michigan. [Title]

Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I had similar experience too, and it was an extremely bizarre feeling. On one hand I wanted us to ruin what I perceived at the time to be a small chance they would make the playoffs, just so I could be assured that they wouldn't win it all. On the other, I felt as you described - I needed Michigan to lose to ensure Hoke wouldn't be retained. I don't know if I was happy, but I sure wasn't upset about the whole thing. I hope I never have to feel like that again. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I never understood the [Body]

Output: I never understood the "dilute the regular season" argument. Isn't the whole point of the regular season to seed teams and determine who will play for the championship? It really serves no other purpose (of course it is fun, and of course each individual game is still important because you need to do well to be seeded well, etc.) I would rather go back to what made CFB really special and just play the bowls, then each poll can determine their own national champion.

I can boil down his actual criticisms of Harbaugh here: "Stone age" passing game Conservative offense, sent the FG unit on too much/too quickly Took awhile to get plays off Arguing with officials / sideline demeanor Answering questions with cliches or catchphrases Then 25% of the article is dedicated to criticizing Greg Roman (defensible criticism of Harbaugh too beause Harbaugh hired him, which is somewhat accurate I suppose). Basically, very little was a critique of Harbaugh as a coach and read like someone upset that they didn't get their way in press conferences with Harbaugh.

Output: Pete Carroll is a great coach


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Michigan cannot give Harbaugh "complete autonomy" when it comes to disciplinary actions regarding players. No school can, nor is it advisable. Federal law requires the university to conduct its own investigation for certain transgressions, such as assaults and sexual assaults, regardless of any other investigation or the conclusions reached in any other investigation. The federal rules also control several aspects of how the university goes about taking action and there is no way any university president, much less an athletic department, can trump that. It is the reason Florida State will soon face a massive civil suit -- they took two years to get theirs done on Jameis Winston. Undoubtedly the coach can deal with any number of player transgressions on his own, but there are certain categories that will remain under the control of the university, with the same protocol applying to football players as they would to other students. [Title]

Output: We are aware of federal Title IX laws?


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I know everyone is on the Harbaugh train. I think Harbaugh is a great coach but I'm not as excited about him coming to Ann Arbor for one reason -- the constant rumors we'd deal with every offseason that he is a candidate for an NFL job. We all know it will happen. No reason to pretend otherwise. Would he turn us around? Yes. Would he turn us around and return to the NFL? Also probably yes. It's a deal we'd all take. If he comes, great. But no one should imagine Harbaugh will come to Ann Arbor and finish his career there. There's just no way that is happening. He is somewhat like Saban -- though clearly Harbaugh is a better NFL coach than we've seen out of Saban in his two stints. Harbaugh will not be able to resist going after a Super Bowl. If he'd already won one, I'd feel differently. But he wants one in his career, no doubt. If Harbaugh says no, Whittingham deserves more than a look. He is an outstanding coach and the point about how he maximizes the talent he is able to land at Utah should not be underestimated. His teams are physical and sound. He gets a lot out of them. He'd do great with the talent he can attract at a place such as Michigan. [Title]

Output: Nice analysis, excellent coach


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 2 days ago [Body] He was actually the guy who brought along Michigan's passing game, which was never Bo's favorite part of the game. Moeller was a tremendous coach and, as a recruiter, he was just as good. He knew how to evaluate talent and recruit the players who could do it at the next level. We won several Big Ten titles in a row under Moeller. His demise was sad. If it happened these days, he might be able to enter a program to get help and keep his job. At the time, it was a huge deal, the video of him weeping did not help, and momentum rose quickly to get him out. It's too bad. I thought Lloyd Carr was a solid coach, but I never thought he was not nearly as good as Moeller. [Title]

Output: Moeller was a great coach

They did so at Cornwell's request, then he put the $7 million figure on the table, they rejected it -- and he then goes out and says in a letter that he knows has to be made public on request that they "demanded" $7 million. Shame on those who didn't see through this, one of the oldest scheister lawyer tricks in the books, before they just quoted his bogus letter. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2014/09/24/jameis-winston-flo...

Input: [Date] 1 year 12 weeks ago [Body] It's a shrewd move to hold the Big Ten tournament in D.C. one year, and not just because I live here, though that will get me buying tickets for sure. In terms of expanding the Big Ten footprint, the Mid-Atlantic area is far more up for grabs than the Midwest. It's a huge population base and it's important to not hold the tournament in the same city every year, especially if that city is Indianapolis. My sister lives in Howell, Mich., and I have driven there from D.C. several times. It takes about nine hours. For a road trip, not a big deal at all. I would think it's smart to give different live audiences a chance to go to the tournament. D.C. has been largely an ACC region. Holding the Big Ten tourney here helps change that. I'm all for it. Will the ACC be happy the Big Ten is doing this? No it won't, and neither will the SEC, which sees this region as part of the South and there to be claimed. So all the more reason to do it. [Title]

Output: Great news on D.C. and the tourney


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Body] This false "catfishing" claim only came out in the skewed form in which it was presented because it's the last weekend of recruiting and it was a chance to plant a negative story about Michigan. And this blog blew it too, because of its noted bias against Dave Brandon, who is an excellent AD and has really helped turn around a sagging program. What Michigan did was very smart. It is not catfishing to a) really exist, b) use your real name and c) friend someone on Facebook or follow them on Twitter. The point was to show players how easily their "friends" can spread everything they post all over the place. It's an important lesson. The media, and this blog is as guilty as any other outlet, just gets it wrong because of inherent bias. You really cant call this blog ethical with the way it always trashes Brandon. It gets so tiresome. The tweet that opens this thread is false. It begins and ends right there. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Body] http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2012/11/19/college-sports-m... It's not like the commissioner is hiding his strategy. This is what you do once war is declared, and the Big 10's view is the first shot came when Notre Dame aligned itself with the ACC. Even if you don't share Delany's vision, at least ackowledge the man seems to know when his conference is in someone's crosshairs. We all long for the sports lineups we are used to, but it is not like doing nothing is the smartest option, lest you prefer the Big 10 be in the ACC's shoes. It's business, it's life. Too many people are reacting based on the quality of the football programs at Maryland and Rutgers now, but money solves a lot of those problems. Remember, even venerable LSU sucked for years until Nick Saban showed up. The Big 10 is a mediocre football conference right now. And this is how we see the ways in which being the big player in huge TV markets offers a lot of protection -- even if our teams are down, the viewership is still there. The alumni are all over the Midwest and Northeast. That's our insurance. It is hard to argue with locking up the New York/New Jersey and Baltimore/D.C. markets in this current war, in which some conference or conferences are going away. If I could wave a magic wand right now, I'd try right now to recruit two of these three -- UVA, UNC and Duke -- and lock up the most progressive states in the South. They have to be thinking about their futures -- and Notre Dame may be doing the same. The Irish are about to start thinking they made a big mistake, and that's because they did make a big mistake. In my view, as it is the Big 10 has put the ACC in a very precarious position, with so many of the nation's largest TV markets now in the Big 10 footprint. The Big 10 is an attractive place to be, today and even more so tomorrow. Yes, it puts a lot of teams in the conference, and that makes it hard to win the conference title. We'll see schools celebrating division titles, a la the Major Leagues, but we have to be realistic as we react to what is happening. It's happening to us or by us. [Title]

Output: Congratulations to Jim Delany and the Big 10


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Body] I think it's a stretch to call a top recruit like Devin Gardner a quarterback out of nowhere. He has shown indications when he's had a chance to play that he could be an excellent quarterback. I thought he settled down nicely against Illinois last year and I was at the MSU game in the ridiculous windstorm. That was a tough situation but even in that game he showed flashes. I would not expect him to play perfectly in those games coming in off the bench, and he didn't, but it was also clear he had ability. He's always thrown a nice ball and it seemed his accuracy improved the more the game went on, but he just has not previously had much chance to play. What I continue to wonder is what the coaches saw in practice that convinced them we'd be OK at quarterback without Gardner as Denard's backup. I really think it was less about QB and more about just trying to get a great athlete like Gardner on the field, and to make that happen they talked themselves into believing that Bellomy was ready to be the backup. (He wasn't, but that also does not mean Bellomy has topped out as redshirt freshman. He'll get better.) But I really think even if Gardner had not moved back this season, he still would have won the job as starting quarterback next year. I just never have thought Hoke would be eager to play Morris as a true freshman over a senior, but that's particularly true when the senior has a world of talent, as Gardner does. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Body] They ran a series riddled with errors and ignored requests that the paper run corrections. Even the report the NCAA produced noted the newspaper was in error. Drew Sharp hates the state of Michigan and everything about it. I would ask, why hasn't Drew Sharp or any of the others written about the rampant oversigning and fraudulent medical exemptions handed out by the SEC over the past 10 years? Or ripped the SEC coaches for voting unanimously against ending oversigning, while the university presidents in the league voted unanimously to stop it? Why has he not written that Urban Meyer's departure from Florida came soon after the university hired a new president who said he did not like oversigning and would no longer allow it? No, instead we see him constantly rip the Big Ten even as he praises the number of consecutive years the SEC has won BCS titles, with no discussion that the run by the league started with Nick Saban's arrival at LSU, where he commenced to blow open loopholes in NCAA rules, to the point that even the most shameless conference in the history of college athletics finally had to do something about it. I'd rather have a journalist who investigates legitimate stories worthy of investigations than to criticize the Detroit News for not making the same mistake the Freep did -- launch a U-M investigation without really even understanding the concept of countable hours, spend reams of time and ink on a series of stories that essentially detailed nothing more than a paperwork violation by the coaching staff, and then not have the decency to correct the errors in their report.

Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] And they always include a number of hypotheticals that leap ahead because the kid missed one game. I would imagine the coaches would like him to play quarterback in his final four (maybe five) games at Michigan. But hypothethically, we could ponder this again tomorrow, when we'll have 24 more hours to not have any idea where Denard's elbow stands. [Title]

Output: You're not wrong


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] It doesn't look like the leagues or the NCAA care what the voters decided. It's still banned. But this makes sense. There's no way the sports leagues would ever lead this charge. If the U.S. culture changes over time, they'll follow a long. But this is a long way from that. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2012/11/07/recreational-marijuana-sports-colorado-washington/1690651/ [Title]

Output: Totally agree with this


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] This law will have no impact on professional athletes, who have agreed in their collective bargaining agreements that marijuana is a banned substance and they can be suspended for it if they test positive. They have a signed contract with their employers that specifically bans marijuana and the law won't change that. Same thing for college athletes, Olympic athletes, etc. -- the rules governing them prohibit the use of marijuana. It does not matter whether the athletes are on the job or not. They cannot use it. The DEA today said the law changes nothing in their view: It remains against federal law to possess, use or cultivate pot. What we can expect in Colorado and Washington in the short term is.... nothing, at least until more of this is sorted out. What is most likely to happen is those state governments will be talking to the feds about how the feds will react as the implementation of this law proceeds. One could imagine the governor of Colorado letting someone try to open up a retail marijuana outlet, even though he knows the feds will come right in and shut it down. Turning enforcement over to the feds protects him politically because the voters in his state have said they don't want the state to enforce it. So when he says he will honor the will of the voters, that really means nothing. The feds typically do not prosecute marijuana cases unless it is a distribution charge involving a large quantity -- they leave the minor cases to the states. But if a state is declaring it no longer will enforce it, most analysts expect the federal government to sue Colorado and Washington on the grounds that a state law cannot supercede federal law. This is very similar to the Arizona immigration law in some respects, though the marijuana case will law actually be more clearcut in favor of the feds. In the case of Arizona, the Supreme Court split because it was a case in which Arizona was seeking to enforce a state law on the grounds that, in the view of Jan Brewer anyway, the feds had failed to enforce the same law. This is a case of a state in direct conflict with a federal law. The feds' potential actions could take many forms, from pursuing busts and criminal cases themselves to simply challenging the law in court and preventing it from being enacted until a federal judge decides. But I would say there is no chance of the feds just letting this go or the NBA, NFL, NCAA, MLB, USOC or any other sport governing body allowing it for athletes in those two states. [Title]

Output: Law will not change sports leagues' policies


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Body] I'm a little tired of all these SEC teams flattering themselves by talking about how great Alabama is, as if that makes all the SEC teams great. Alabama is a great team, but in my view there is a large gap between Alabama and the rest of the SEC. What Bama did to Michigan, they did to virtually every SEC opponent last year. Indeed, as this poster points out, LSU did not get in the end zone against the Tide in EIGHT quarters of play. We got dominated, no doubt. But I have watched Bama for years. I'm from Alabama, graduated from Michigan. In several games last year, the Tide did the same -- to Arkansas, Florida, Auburn and LSU. LSU? Less than 100 yards of offense in a national title game? This is the other 'unbeatable' SEC team? Don't think so. Alabama is a cut above the rest of the league. The departed seniors on defense meant very little. The team had its QB back, veteran lines and returning LBs. The losses were easily plugged. Plus, Saban has handed out like 163 scholarships over the past six seasons. That's an average of 27 guys, every year, with some of those replacing players who were basically cut or run off. In fact, this Bama team might be better than last year's simply because McCarron is experienced now. Last year, he was trying to nail down the job. After Bama, I see a bunch of SEC teams that are distant seconds. Does anyone really think John L. Smith is going to lead Arkansas to victory over Bama this year? Not happening. And I think Bama will beat LSU if the game is played in Miles' backyard. It's a coaching mismatch and Saban has increased the talent gap between his team and the rest of the league. If we had faced any other SEC team on Saturday, it would have been a different game. Who knows if we would've won. But we definitely would've been better able to hang with the other teams in the league. We played the best team in the country. That does not make every other team in their league as good as them, as much as SEC fans want to portray it that way. Their allegedly superior SEC teams have been getting killed by Bama and it will happen again this season. [Title]

Output: Agree! Bama a cut above rest of SEC
