Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Body] This is the case and how these contracts work. Again, it will be easier to analyze this once the details come out. Nike does sell better here in the US, that's a given. But to your point of the kids wanting KD's and Kobe's and such, that's becuase of the name attached to it. Kids want the Lebron's because they're Lebron's, not Nike's. This is part of the reason why adidas chose to let go of the NBA contract. People don't buy Kevin Durant jerseys because they love adidas, they do it because they love Kevin Durant. Similarly, (outside of the <.05% of the fan base that posts on here) people don't buy Michigan apparel because they love Nike or adidas, they do it because they love Michigan. These deals are far more valuable to the apparel companies than the schools, you'd be naiive to think otherwise. Now I'm not saying I don't expect to see a spike in apparel sales, I totally do and I think the fanbase as a whole is ready to move on from the DB/RR/Hoke era, and the Nike contract ushers in a fresh start. Will it make up for the money we left on the table with adidas? I HIGHLY doubt that, but it remains to be seen. The thing that scares me is that it's a 12 year deal. That's a long time. A lot can change in 12 years. 12 years ago Under Armour was just gaining momentum, and still was only making baselayer/compression gear. Look where they are now. Just something to think about. [Title]

Output: This is the case and how


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Are you really trying to say that fans will go to more games when the team is in a bad stretch just because there's a swoosh on the uniforms? Like I get some of the arguments on here but come on now,that's a massive stretch. [Title]

Output: Are you really trying to say


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Agreed, I'm going with blue. White is minimally acceptable, and only on the road. [Title]

Output: Agreed, I'm going with blue.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Body] This has nothing to do with adidas. They will still be the supplier for the upcoming season. It likely has more to do with the "generic" numbers they had last year not being worn by prominent players this year for football, like 98 for example. And I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a new basketball template this season. [Title]

Output: This has nothing to do with


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I keep hearing this argument, but is there any actual proof of it happening before? Genuinely curious. It doesn't make sense to me that a brand like Nike or adidas would pull funding for an AAU team, consequently pissing off 10-20 members of their key demographic just because one player went to a school they don't sponsor. [Title]

Output: I keep hearing this argument,


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Body] No question about it. And I think the 3 hole playoff was great for TV as well. Some of my friends who aren't even golf fans were glued to the TV for the end there. [Title]

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Not sure I agree with you there. He finished in the top 5 of all 4 majors last year, the only other players to do that were Jack and Tiger. Give the kid his due - he's only 26 years old and most golfers don't hit their prime until their mid 30s. HERE is a good look at what he did last year, impressive to say the least. And whle I was rooting for Sergio today, good to see Rickie pull one out. [Title]

Output: Not sure I agree with you


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Man that sucks. It's a shame too, the first thirty minutes of the game were some of the most entertaining basketball I've seen in quite a while. [Title]

Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Body] FWIW, I know someone who ran track at ND and graduated last year, she says that ever since the UA contract went into effect, the track team won't train in UA footwear. They all go out and buy their own adidas or Asics. [Title]

Output: FWIW, I know someone who ran


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Where are you hearing this? One of the big reasons ND went with UA was that they wanted to have the largest contract in the NCAA, but adidas refused to make their deal worth more than Michigan's, whether through loyalty or contractual obligation. Also, when asked about the potential of more team/player sponsorships, UA's CEO said "we're not going to compete with our dumbest competitor." I think this kind of shows that company's direction, and I highly doubt more high profile college sponsorships are in their future. LINK to that story. [Title]

Input: [Date] 20 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I hate that I agree with you, because I want to believe that true competition still exists anymore, but this is spot on. Wisconsin is the B1G's only chance to bring exposure to the conference"brand" this March, so they need to advance and get a high tourney seed, simple as that. I'm staying positive because we played pretty well, but the odds are against us [Title]

Output: I hate that I agree with you,


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Doesn't look great right now, but if a couple calls went our way it would be a 10+ point Michigan lead right now. We're not out of it at all. [Title]

Output: Need a GIF of that


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 3 days ago [Body] NIke is better based on what? I keep seeing the argument "Nike is clearly better" but have not seen any concrete reasons why other than "kids like it." You say that adidas sucks, but also say you only have ever bought one piece of apparel? I'm not saying everything they make is amazing but it's impossible to judge based on one item. And when we first signed the adidas contract, I would have agreed that Nike does make a superior product. adidas was crap up until about 2 1/2 years ago. But now, adidas has the top performance footwear on the market, hands down. And like it or not, tournament unis bring exposure to the brand. You're talking about it, and that was the goal. Remember when Nike had all of their schools wearing gray a couple years ago? People on here would have had a meltdown if that happened to us. There's also something to be said for being a company's flagship school. Given our recent success we'd be a middle tier Nike school at best. I mean look at Miami (YTM). They were the original sponsored school, but they've been down for a few years, Nike treats them like crap and they end up leaving for adidas. [Title]

Output: NIke is better based on

Input: [Date] 42 weeks 3 days ago [Body] This captures my thoughts on the issue perfectly. However, I'd be utterly shocked if he does even ONE of the things on this list. I don't feel like I matter to the AD, and that's a problem. He takes this "this is big business, you wouldn't understand" attitude to things and it's very off-putting. I've never felt so disconnected from the program [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] For me? Yes I think that's awesome that I can be a part of something so cool and historic. But for the average student who doesn't post on football message boards, the at home experience of a game against some tiny directional school seems just as good as being there. [Title]

Output: For me? Yes I think that's


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] Why? He is basically saying that the University has stripped everything away from games that made them fun and unique. If i want obnoxiously loud piped in music and advertisements at every stoppage of play, I can get that in the comfort of my own home by turning on the tv and cranking up the surround sound. The only difference is that I saved hundreds of dollars on parking, tickets, and absurdly overpriced food, and hours of time spent waiting in lines. The one thing I would miss out on by not going to the games now is the halftime show. And since they decided to turn that into an advertisement as well, i'm ok with missing it. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Would love that [Body]

Output: Would love to see that, but I honestly don't think they make a run at either of them. I'm guessing the one big offseason pick up will be a starting pitcher. Preferrably a left handed starter that can break up the string of righties. I'g going to guess they go with Inge again and also wouldn't be surprised to see them bring back Betemit. I'd also be surprised to see them resign Magglio. Young in LF, Jackson in CF, Boesch in RF going forward with Dirks being that 4th OF and Kelly and Raburn having the ability to play there in a pinch.


Input: [Date] 3 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Thanks [Body]

Output: Thanks again for posting this. Really enjoyed reading this and it really shows how much the Michigan family cares about each other. Much rather read an article like this and would really wish the NCAA/media would focus more on stories like this.


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Title] Very true [Body]

Output: And I am not saying I wouldn't want him, I just never thought accuracy was one of his strong attributes. I also didn't know he was recovering from a torn ACL. On my search for his stats I came across this article that was just published today about him and his recovery progress. http://www.cantonrep.com/sports/x1146473761/Hoovers-Appleby-is-trying-to-keep-his-football-dream-alive BTW Appleby's stats from last year = 93-of-187 passing for 1,427 yards and 14 TDs, 57 rushes for 18 yards and one TD.


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Title] Accuracy? [Body]

Output: From what I've heard/read Appleby completed about 49% of his passes and also threw a pick on about 5% of his passes. I could be wrong, but that's what I remember hearing.

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

Output: I think Feliz had a really good year. And ya I definitely didn't phrase my comments correctly. I just get upset about voting for relievers over position players, especially with how much each of them dominated their respective positions as rookies. But maybe that's just because I was a position player lol


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

Output: My condolences to you and your family Dallas.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Here's the problem with all of that [Body]

Output: You are comparing a reliever to mostly starters. Besides Papelbon and Soria everyone you named was a starting pitcher. I'm not seem going to go into it because you to know your stuff, but I think you are making a HUGE mistake comparing guys to starting pitchers. If you included relievers in your search you would get much different results. Speaking of guys above 9.2 K per 9 in the AL. Henry Rodriguez (10.73) Koji Uehara (11.25) Tony Sipp (9.86) Darren Oliver (9.49) Jason Bulger (9.38) And yes all of these guys are relievers. 2.3 BB per 9 is very good, but unfortunately he couldn't even beat out his own teammate. Darren O'Day (1.7 per 9) .6 HR per 9 would place him 5 if you are comparing only him to the starters in the AL. He is actually 78th if you add all the relievers, but since not all of the relievers qualify he would probably by around 50th. Guys he didn't beat out Dontrelle Willis! (.6 per 9, beat him out by percentage points) Brad Thomas (.5) Dusty Hughes (.5) Trevor Bell (.3) Like I said in my first post Neftali Feliz is a very, very good pitcher. I just don't think they should be included in the discussion of Rookie of the Year because they do not go out there and play as much as position players do. If this was a starting pitcher I wouldn't have as much of a problem with that because at least they are out there throwing 6 - 7 innings a time and racking up twice as many innings as relievers. That is why I said there should be a Rookie of the Year and Rookie Pitcher of the Year.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] I think it makes sense [Body]

Output: They split it up with the Cy Young and there are plenty of rookies who qualify each year, it just makes sense to allow players to be recognized even if they aren't on a very good team.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] what stats were great besides saves? [Body]

Output: his 40 saves were really good, but honestly what else was so amazing? He had a pretty good WHIP, but he averaged 1 strikeout an inning and had a pretty marginal ERA.


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

Output: I will preface this by saying Feliz did have a terrific year and he is very deserving of recognition. But I 100% agree with Yoss Tree on this. Feliz winning this award was complete and utter bullshit. To compare a relief pitcher to an everyday position player just isn't fair. They should split it up with a rookie pitcher of the year and rookie player of the year. I hate when the writers vote because honestly they don't know shit. They are glorified fans who get to write articles about the games we all watch.

Output: but if you are OK with just throwing those guys away for literally nothing, then it's a fine deal


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Title] That's being a bit generous [Body]

Output: either that or you've forgotten about signing Weiss, or trading for Legwand, or lettting Filpulla go, or going half a decade needing to add defense and somehow not managing to do it once. He's drafted well and managed to not make any super nova fuck ups with a core of established players but it's a stretch to say he's done a particularly good job lately, especially considering his great drafting is due in large part to Andersson's excellent scouting. It's probably time for him to move on to greener pastures and let someone who can actually go out and get some free agent or trade help take over. He's set them up nicely for the future, but the team is going to need a change of leadership from the top down if it wants to bring this young group of players to cup contention.

I'm not sure on an exact count but I'm pretty sure he's lost less than 10 matches since starting high school, and most of them were close matches to older, multi-championship winning wrestlers like David Taylor.

Input: [Date] 28 weeks 1 day ago [Title] All you need to know about MSU wrestling [Body]

Output: Is that you could damn near walk from campus to St. Johns, and yet every single wrestler from there goes to Michigan. They were OK as a team when they had the Simmons and I think Boudro, they've had a few scattered AA and a champ since then, but that's almost entirely a result of being in a wrestling rich area. I would like to say that a big part of why that gap is starting to grow is Michigan's willingness to spend. McFarland was able to hire 2 huge name assistant coaches a few years ago from the olympic program, and Michigan has probably the nicest wrestling practice facility in college.

Output: That if you twist one of your e's into a u, and the other into an h, your name is an anagram of Harbaugh? .... Harbaugh?


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Nah [Body]

Output: Still more work in college. Acquiring players is just a much more time consuming task in CFB than it is in the NFL.


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Sorry if this is out of line, but here's some wild ass speculati [Body]

Output: This feels like the kind of article that gets written when some big wig see's the "48 Million Dollar" report on TV and calls the office saying "I just saw an obscenely large number next to a dollar sign on Sportscenter, get the sports econ dude on this!" which then causes him to get on real quick and stretch 2 regurgitated talking points into an article because there isn't any real sports econ story here. Not that he's necessarily wrong, Harbaugh might stay in the NFL for those reasons, it just seems lazily written and out of this guys wheelhouse


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] P.J. Fleck is the name you were looking for [Body]

Output: Row the dang boat


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 1 day ago [Title] How much does he put into the dolphins? [Body]

Output: It's not like owning an NFL team is cheap


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Too smart for his own good? [Body]

Output: Christ you sound like Skip Bayless with that


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Don't diss Wet Herrera [Body]

Output: The greatest coach in the history of organized sports


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Title] They are 20 million over the cap next year [Body]

Output: So they take this team, which is already relatively old and not that good, and dump 20 million in salary, plus either the money to pay their picks or the picks themselves in the draft. They are going to win maybe 7 games then have to flat out cut starters this off season. They are a tire fire


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I can see it now [Body]

Output: "Jim, before I take this job, there's one thing I absolutely have to do. I'm gonna need your plane, I'm going to need the entirety of my contract, in full, in non sequential peso's, 20 pounds of rotel and velveeta, and one of those bomb suits. Yeah, like from the hurt locker"


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Title] He's a GIANT improvement defensively [Body]

Output: going from the worst OF in the game to Cespedes is a huge upgrade, and he's at least as good offensively as Hunter


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Title] That might be bullshit [Body]

Output: He's not coming to Michigan, but New Orleans is going to be a trainwreck next year, and he's just watching it slowly crash. It wouldn't absolutely shock me if he took another NFL job because he doesnt' want to be stuck in rebuild mode


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: It was 3. You can get Simon's production off the damn scrap heap, you don't need to be trading players for it.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Title] He's hot ass garbage [Body]

Output: He was incredibly lucky over the first half of last year, he's much more the guy who had a 4.5 era in the second half of the year. That is hot ass garbage in the NL.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Was Harbaugh at Stanford for 11 years? [Body]

Output: Or are you just gonna ignore that part of it?


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Title] You could make it about the product too [Body]

Output: They have been extra terrible lately. The fact that they even published the Dr. Football bullshit shows where they are


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] Much like the 49'ers O-line [Body]

Output: I failed to properly execute, and have double posted.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] O-line regression is probably the biggest culprit [Body]

Output: They went from being probably the best unit in football to not very good at all in a year. Without that killer run game defenses have been able to key in on Kaepernick, and though he's a very good QB, he's not in the class of guys who can beat you even if you gameplan entirely around stopping them.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] To steal a line from PFT_Commenter [Body]

Output: this is about teling not speling smh


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 19 hours ago [Title] Sorry [Body]

Output: But local papers aren't going to stop covering a coaching search at a Michigan out of common courtesy.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I follow him on Twitter [Body]

Output: It's absolutely fascinating. He's not dumb, he's fairly well versed in like, the space program, he's relatively religious, he has a warped up in depth knowledge of history. Like, one second he's saying how ridiculous it is that someone thinks we faked the moon landing, and his next tweet is about how aliens built the pyramids.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Stephen Ross doesn't either [Body]

Output: I'll be he's got some say though. Just because you don't have a job title doesn't mean you have zero influence on the decisions made by the university, and there are ways to buy that influence other than cash.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I was at the Oregon game [Body]

Output: It wasn't all sunshine and fucking rainbows


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Title] He's not Hoke [Body]

Output: He's Ferentz. If you gave Ferentz what Harbaugh left Shaw, I'm convinced the exact same thing would have happened. Terrible game manager, archaic offense. It works if you can absolutely destroy up front, which Ferentz has been able to do every 3 or 4 years when he develops a full O-line together, and Shaw had when he was left with what remained of the Harbaugh O-lineman, but it's not a great strategy. Shaw isn't a bad coach, and he could probably get Michigan to be what Nebraska was under Pelini due to the slight recruiting advantage he would have over Ferentz, but I'm not thrilled about hiring a guy who probably has a ceiling of what just got Nebraska's coach fired.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Title] The lid won't be as tight [Body]

Output: It just can't be, there are too many moving parts in a coaching search. No one outside of Schembechler hall and the search firm Hackett has been talking to needed to know about this news, and even then he could have kept his forays into looking for a coach vague enough that no one would come forward as a strong source. This is different though, you're going to have to have much more direct conversations with interested parties, and those parties are well outside of Hackett's control at the moment. Harbaugh, Miles, Mullen, every candidate he talks to that would seriously consider the job is going to tell someone. Whether that be Harbaugh or Miles talking it over with family/friends to try to come to a decision or Mullen going to his AD to see if he can't get a contract to match what Michigan is willing to pony up, there will be loose ends that can't be tied off.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] The results are in! [Body]

Output: And it looks like the Michigan faithful have elected.... The muppets..... The muppets are going to coach Michigan.... Animal would be a hell of a recruiting coordinator. He's basically a slightly more hairy Coach O.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Schiano is literally last on my list [Body]

Output: Like, I'm reaching out to Howard Schnellenberger before Schiano. He might be ahead of O'Neal, actually.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] What was that old nickname for the big ten? [Body]

Output: Big 2, little 8? Remember that? Take out the stuff before forward passing was invented and Nebraska is on even footing with Michigan.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Stop it with your filthy facts [Body]

Output: Those are only allowed when they confirm our beliefs in old school man football! Defense! Run the ball! Also would love to point out that was facing a conference that might not have a single offense as bad as half of the big ten


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Hes constantly putting up crazy offensive numbers [Body]

Output: I mean maybe he is a one side of the ball guy, but he's more than one play. The dude knows offense and is well respected in the coaching community. Just because he's not a great candidate for Michigan right now doesn't make him "lol basically a high school coach with one play"


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Not even close [Body]

Output: I mean, big bang theory pulls like a 4.5, walking dead is damn near 9. Talking dead might out draw BBT by now.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] They've been pretty close [Body]

Output: Since Gimple took over. The Hospital was a complete departure this year, and they obviously aren't doing a shot for shot remake, but they hit on a lot of the big moments. The scene tonight with Rick by the parking garage was straight out of how he dealt with the cannibals in the comics. If you are interested in that stuff, Gimple did a great episode of Girl on Guy recently where he talked about how he translates the comic to a show and working on it as a fan of the comics. It's very, very VERY spoiler heavy though, including a gigantic comic spoiler the show has not gotten to yet.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] He will be the head of Alexandria [Body]

Output: Who's name escapes me. But yeah, charismatic nice guy in WAAAAY over his head? That's Brady


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Still depends entirely on him [Body]

Output: He was never going to get fired, he's too valuable a commodity and Baalke isn't going to just kick him to the curb for nothing. They can't trade him until well after the super bowl, well after the coaching search will be resolved, and he was going to have to use whatever buyout clause he has in his contract anyway. The trade rumors change nothing. If anything that fact that the rumored destinations would have him working under Reggie McKenzie or John Idzik make it less likely he stays in the pros.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] The one thing you need with Miles [Body]

Output: Is one of the coordinators has to be a guy you are OK with taking over the program when he leaves. He's old enough that you have to plan for his retirement, and the program has had too much turmoil to go through another culture change in 5 years. If he can grab a big name offensive coordinator (not Cameron or Loeffler, please god not them) and bring Chavis or even just Pelini along for a few years, you can probably find someone in that group who can keep a program at a 10ish win level.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Sorry, he doesn't get a pass [Body]

Output: anytime they go up against an offense with a pulse they put up 35. He's good, not great.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I think it was the way that was presented [Body]

Output: The faux concern over player injury was pretty bad. He also catches some flack, maybe not fairly, for the "#karma" tweet by his wife. He's certainly can coach football though


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 3 days ago [Title] One of the best [Body]

Output: Plus, he's running one of the top offense's in D2 while recruiting players to a school that is about as hard to get into as Michigan, only it's 1/10th the size. I know he's not a realistic candidate but damn it he's a good football coach and I hope someone hires him so I can see him at work more often.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 4 days ago [Title] "smoked the SEC" [Body]

Output: Is the key phrase. The SEC title, which LSU won that year.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Problem is I don't have faith in that [Body]

Output: I mean, if they hire Schiano? Or another uninspiring candidates? Plus, what in the last decade would lead you to believe Michigan will be in the title hunt?


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] yep, nothing is worth anything [Body]

Output: There is no way to predict anything and we shouldn't even try because occaisionally things don't work out. Probability isn't even a thing! It's all just fucking random chance! Let's hire a fucking fifth grade to coach football because no one fucking knows anything!


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Oh, I don't know [Body]

Output: Maybe someone who has run or even been involved in an athletic department before?


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] You're entirely correct there [Body]

Output: I don't think the fan experience stuff will be as much of an issue with him because, well how could it be? Brandon was so bad it almost appeared as thought he was trying to fail at times. I think a lot of us aren't worried that he will become Brandon, just incredibly dissapointing that the university/Schlissel think he is the best man for the job when that is so incredibly unlikely.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Look for session beers [Body]

Output: Brews like All Day IPA or Bean Flicker with lower alcohol content are great for day drinking, and generally you can find decent ones in all styles. Hell I've even had a session stout, although only on tap


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Eventually he's right [Body]

Output: after you've been hit in the head enough times you're liable to believe the sky is falling


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] And now my post's are reproducing asexually [Body]

Output: It's like the worst possible version of Jurassic Park only with internet comments instead of dinosaurs


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Um...that's what we are worried about [Body]

Output: That he really doesn't know how to hire a good football coach, and if Harbaugh won't come he will saddle us with someone like Schiano for 4 years.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] What other AD in the country [Body]

Output: Would have the balls to charge 450 bucks for season tickets to a team that won 5 games the previous year?


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] "Almost everything has turned out different than we expected" [Body]

Output: *looks back at the Hoke reaction* oh....


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] If he does those things then great [Body]

Output: But it's not likely, and even if he wants to theres effectively zero chance he's the best person to implement those plans. You and others pretend like there is absolutely no way to have an opinion on something until it plays out in it's entirety, which is asinine. To think that there is a non negligible chance that Hackett is the best candidate for the job is complete and utter lunacy. Sure, this might work out, but that's what people were saying about Brady Hoke. It's yet another in a long line of screw ups by the university with regards to the football team


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] This goes doubly so [Body]

Output: When you have a wealth of experienced and incredibly qualified candidates out there. Yeah, maybe not all of them would take the job, but there would be one. If you aren't willing to outbid Boston College or fucking UConn for the guy who will run one of the biggest athletic departments in the country you seriuosly need to reevaluate some things.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] But he didn't [Body]

Output: Which is why he's gone, and it's why it's pretty reasonable to be worried that the person making one of the most important decisions in the history of the football program has no experience in those decisions whatsoever.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Zero experience [Body]

Output: Keep thinking this is mostly about him being a CEO though, it helps drown out the common sense that screams how fucking stupid this is


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] It's not about him being a CEO [Body]

Output: It's about him having precisely zero experience running or even being involved in an athletic department.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Boy, you must be excited [Body]

Output: For new Michigan Football Head Coach Scot Loeffler


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] This guy knows what up [Body]

Output: We just need to be patient. Sure the football program has been a disaster for a decade, but be patient. This upcoming football hire will be one of the most important in the history of the University, but shouldn't we give the guy with zero fucking experience a chance? What's the worst that could happen, another 4 years of terrible football and a deeper hole to dig out of? Just be patient


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It is a part though [Body]

Output: And the offense is hot garbage. This Lions team is still not a very good football team, and they've been helped by some ridiculously luck and an easy schedule. Next year they will be back to the same old Lions


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 5 days ago [Title] That's most big time fan bases [Body]

Output: Just the nature of the beast.


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 5 days ago [Title] So? [Body]

Output: He wins. There aren't gonna be any perfect candidates, Graham is at least a good coach.


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 2 days ago [Title] No [Body]

Output: Stahp. Pleez.


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm not gonna pile on [Body]

Output: But....ya done goofed


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 5 days ago [Title] We could do worse than a collective kick to the nuts [Body]

Output: That doesn't mean I'd be happy if it happens.


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Because Hoke is a shitty coach [Body]

Output: Who never should have got the job. RR is a damn good coach who was screwed by the University.


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 6 days ago [Title] If you steal the other teams defensive calls [Body]

Output: It would mean you are on offense.... So... Not sure what you are getting at


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I actual like him a lot [Body]

Output: Seems to have a good grasp of who to hire, has had success in a lot of things despite not being at a university necessarily known as an athletic powerhouse.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] We live in an offensive world then [Body]

Output: How much money does football bring in? Now how much does literally every single other sport? Are you honestly going to tell me that Alabama's AD could ever possibly get fired as long as Saban is there and he manages to not get caught in a huge controversy? Yeah, you have other responsibilities as an AD. None of them are as important as football.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 1 day ago [Title] You've got 2 jobs as an AD [Body]

Output: Hire a good football coach, or don't massively fuck up elsewhere. If you do even one of those right, you keep your job. DB did neither, he deserved to be fired.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I threw up a little, in my mouth [Body]

Output: It tasted like dissapointment.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Right after the App State game [Body]

Output: So yeah... Not getting my hopes up. Not at all due to Johnson, but the O-line was demolishing Indiana. That won't happen against a team with a pulse.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Just cross out the Brandon [Body]

Output: Replace it with Dombrowski, and wait until just after the winter meetings.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Let's be honest [Body]

Output: Most of the football players aren't providing a particularly high quality service at Michigan currently....


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 4 days ago [Title] That would make Michigan seem bad though [Body]

Output: And we can't have that. After all, the Michigan football program is a shining beacon of excellence, and gave Rodriguez it's full support. That's why he hasn't had any success since then, I mean, if you can't win at Michigan, why would you be able to win at Arizona


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 4 days ago [Title] That's why he's failing at Arizona [Body]

Output: And west Virginia, and everywhere else! Oooor, maybe, if a guy is successful literally every single other job he has, other than at Michigan, it's a fucking Michigan problem, fergodsakes.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Oh hi Johnny [Body]

Output: I didn't know it was you


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 5 days ago [Title] A Michigan fan going to Florida? [Body]

Output: You poor, poor soul.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 6 days ago [Title] These aren't the reason [Body]

Output: They are just symptoms of what is wrong with Brandon.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 6 days ago [Title] This is just crazy [Body]

Output: These responses are things you would expect from random Internet commenters. He comes off as immature, petulant, and above all, unprofessional. The fact that he felt the need to respond to emails in any way other than standard corporate "We appreciate your input, go blue" is incredible, but to take it to this level of just douchebaggery makes it damn near unbelievable.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 6 days ago [Title] For future reference [Body]

Output: All good news goes to umhoops.com


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 4 hours ago [Title] I'm sorry [Body]

Output: I just can't feel bad for a guy who gets fired because he can't do his job. People get fired for waaaaaaay shittier reasons than that every day, and they don't get millions in a buy out. Hoke will be fine, a little worse on the ego front, but I'm not going to let that ruin the few weeks of hope I have that Michigan might become a national power again before we hire Scot Loeffler


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] One problem [Body]

Output: PSU has an actual, real life, honest to god football coach. Michigan has one of those monkeys you wind up that play the cymbals


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Numbers [Body]

Output: Dominos had it's IPO in 2004 at about 14 dollars a share, which was kind of low for what people thought it would go at. Between then and Brandon leaving for the AD job, it rose to a high of 32 dollars a share in 2007, before completely tanking to hit 4 dollars a share in 2008. When he left Dominos in January of 2010 it had recovered slightly to about 11 dollars a share. In the nearly 5 years since then, it has risen to 87 dollars a share. So yeah, it's pretty fucking fair to say he wasn't hitting a home run with Dominos


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Boo fucking hoo [Body]

Output: A guy paid 4 million a year to do a job he is obvious not qualified for is getting called names.


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 4 days ago [Title] She's also been under better testing than most [Body]

Output: I mean haha porn jokes and all, but the "Sex workers are riddled with diseases" meme is kind of shitty and totally false. People in porn are subjected to regular screenings for STD's and are pretty damn careful about the sex they have outside of the work place, as one screw up could mean the end of a career.


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I've heard that as well [Body]

Output: from.........sources


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 4 days ago [Title] If we hire Schiano I'll be sick [Body]

Output: As in, actually, physically ill. I will undoubtably be notified of the news on twitter or via text, I will witness the words "It's Schiano" and I will void my stomach immediately


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 4 days ago [Title] He's probably not a college guy [Body]

Output: But he is a hell of a coach, and probably one of the best defensive guys in the game right now.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Turns out [Body]

Output: Regent Illitch was actually an interdimensional multi-consciousness harnessed in one body, that voted 6 times to keep Dave Brandon, 3 times to fire him, and abstained once due to a personal relationship.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 4 days ago [Title] People who didn't know who Mullen was [Body]

Output: Weren't paying attention. He's not exactly lights out at MSU but the dude was a coordinator under Urban Meyer, has coached with Chip Kelly, and has had a lot of success just about everywhere. Mullen has been a household name for a while now


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] The tampa stuff was ugly [Body]

Output: Like, real ugly. Pretty much everyone roundly hated him in the league, he had some of that bullshit about going after players while taking a knee, he had the whole "Schiano men" thing, and above all, he had a pretty terrible team. I mean, he's ok for some programs I guess, but the situation right now doesn't need any of the toxicity he brings, especially when he has essentially zero pedigree outside of being slightly above mediocre at Rutger's while they played in pretty down conference.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] Which is just one reason [Body]

Output: Why the NFL can goooooooo fuck itself


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Hoke needs to go [Body]

Output: Brandon obviously needs to go first, but the problem with the on field product is entirely Hoke's doing. Dave Brandon isn't the reason there is no player development, or atrocious clock management. I have no idea what anyone could possibly see in Brady Hoke that inspires confidence, and can think of zero reasonable scenarios in which he should be coaching Michigan next year.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Negative Consequences? [Body]

Output: I mean, we wouldn't want anything to darken the bright rainbow unicorn fart this season has been thus far...


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 3 days ago [Title] My problem with showing up [Body]

Output: And why I find it hard to fault anyone who doesn't, is the simple fact that if you treat people like customers, then they will behave as such. Michigan fandom isn't a family anymore, and support is now a business decision. I know that sucks for the kids, who didn't decide to gouge ticket prices or run idiotic soda promotions, but that's just how it is. There are plenty of people who bust their ass just as hard and aren't good enough at football to play it in front of 100,000 fans.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 5 days ago [Title] He's not doing this by himself [Body]

Output: Do you really think Dave Brandon is making every single one of the string of stupid decisions he has with zero input or support from people around him in the athletic department, university, or alumni? We know Ross supports him still, and it would stand to reason that the regents at one point liked him enough to pay him very well for reasons that I'm not sure will ever be clear. He's not some mad king who gained absolute power through birth right, he was chosen for the job and he has been supported by the institution in a number of bad decisions. Skyrocketing ticket prices, the Coke promotion, the nightmare PR of the Morris concussion, the nightmare PR and general handling of the Gibbons case, the skywriting, the weird support Hoke thing he wrote. This isn't just Brandon, one person cannot fuck up so badly without some help.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 5 days ago [Title] You threw me for a loop with Cincy [Body]

Output: I was like, wtf, Cinci is in the Big East, they won it like 2 years ago. Which brings me to my next point. Cinci moved from C-USA to the Big East, spent 8 years there, and won a share of the title 4 times. They were conference champs essentially 50% of the time they played in the Big East before it folded. That doesn''t really add anything to this discussion, I just think it's kinda crazy


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Title] He's pretty meh [Body]

Output: I wouldn't be dissapointed if we got him, I think he's probably a pretty damn good football coach, but he's also not someone I'm going to be super excited about. I think he's probably a notch below Dantonio, in terms of a guy who can build a program given a little time. I do think hiring an Ex-Rodgriguez asst. would be HILARIOUS though


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Title] He's not evil [Body]

Output: He's just really fucking terrible at his job, and should be fired


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Title] He's been pretty good most places [Body]

Output: He's 57-37 career, 2 MAC titles, 2 Big East titles. He's got Tennessee looking....better? I guess. I mean he's not Harbaugh but he's better than most candidates.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Title] So? [Body]

Output: You could make the same point that Michigan needs to pony up and get a guy to improve football attendance, and Michigan had like 40 million more in athletic department revenue than Tennesse last year. He was also born in Michigan and played his college ball at Ferris State. He's a very real candidate


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Title] They are doing their job [Body]

Output: Which is to try and find out what is going on with the football team. That's a hell of a lot more than you can say for Brady Hoke


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Title] They can't [Body]

Output: Or at least shouldn't. They made a profit for the first time in a decade last year, and it was a whopping 60 grand. Tennessee is in bad shape financially


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] That Jones salary is wrong [Body]

Output: He makes under 3 million a year, and Tennessee probably doesn't have the extra cash to offer him a salary around what we pay Hoke currently


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Surprise! [Body]

Output: It's meth. You are now addicted to Meth. Enjoy


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I would gladly take [Body]

Output: Either the man on that shirt, or the man inside of it.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Don't know [Body]

Output: Probably similar reasons to why Brian Kelly was at GVSU for 12 years before taking the CMU job. Hell, Chip Kelly couldn't get a coordinator job above New Hampshire for 8 years.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Yeah, he will take the Georgia job [Body]

Output: After Mark Richt comes to MIchigan. Why? Mark Richt will be forced out after losing control of Todd Gurley, who will actually run through the back of the stadium, smashing building and cars in his wake, until coming to rest at an endzone somewhere in a deserted high school field in North Carolina.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Thank god we don't have that [Body]

Output: We only have kickers who get kicked out of school for rape allegations and a left tackle who threatened the accusor. But no one is getting any tattoos!!! Seriously, cut it out with the "we are so much better than everyone" bullshit.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Title] His Zona team [Body]

Output: Would take this Michigan team behind a woodshed and beat it like it fucking stole something


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] I'm not saying Craig James killed 5 hookers [Body]

Output: But I will point out that 5 hookers did disappear during his time at SMU


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE [Body]

Output: I FEEL LIKE A 14 YEAR OLD GIRL WAITING IN LINE OUTSIDE OF A JUSTIN BEIBER CONCERT!!!!!! PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN!!!!!!


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Chocolate Milk Beer works better [Body]

Output: The Chocolate Manifesto from Flying Monkey fits the bill. Basically tastes like someone took Milkshake Stout and poured Hershey's syrup into it.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Oh...mah...gawd.. [Body]

Output: There is a chance that later this season, in the playoffs, Slippery Rock meets future University of Michigan head football coach Bob Stitt's Colorado School of Mines Miners on the field of play. I will lose my shit


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Michigan can give him a raise [Body]

Output: In much the same way Texas did. I'm sure he would be happy to take the phone call then tell his AD that Michigan called and he needs a raise.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] It's a mix [Body]

Output: Had some Wowee Zowee by Short's for the first time today, got a six pack of Citra Black Pale Ale by Oddside, and to make sure it was enough, broke out a bottle of Molotov Cocktail from Evil Twin that I had been saving for a time like this


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Doesn't matter if he did or not [Body]

Output: Putting him back in without knowing 100% that he did not is just stupid.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] again, I only have 2 words regarding the coaching search [Body]

Output: And that is, Stitt Happens Also, if he does get the job, then quickly wins a Big Ten Title, John U. Bacon can title the book "From Sh*t to Stitt"


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm taking that extreme jump [Body]

Output: "Well I don't know.. you know.. I don't know...he might have had a concussion or not. I don't know that. And that wasn't something... and Shane's a pretty competitive tough kid. And Shane wanted to be the QB. And so...believe me...if he didn't want to be he would have come to the sideline or stayed down." That is Brady Hoke after the game basically saying "if he doesn't want to be the starter, he can come out of the game" which is so incredibly fucking stupid. He's a college athlete, of course he wants to fucking play! It's your job to know if he has a concussion, and then to protect him if he does! If you don't know 100 % that he's not concussed, don't send him out to get his brains fucking scrambled. I mean holy fucking shit, if you were a parent and a coach was recruiting your kid, and during a press conference he said "I don't know if he was concussed or not, but he sure seemed like he wanted to stay out there" why the fuck would you trust him to take care of your child? This is Lane Kiffin bad, he shouldn't be the coach for Rutgers.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Title] One big problem [Body]

Output: He is bigger than the fucking program. The program is shit right now. If you're Alabama you can do that, if you're Michigan you can't


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Get on the Stitt bandwagon [Body]

Output: Dude took over a program with zero inherent advantages, at a school that is incredibly difficult to get into, and turned them into a powerhouse. His QB this year is averageing like 400 some yards of offense a game. His QB, not his team, just the QB. He's on the cutting edge of pretty much every football movement, his trademark "Fly Sweep" is going to be all over college football in about a year after someone notices WVU is straight massacring people with it, he's relatively young, he's incredibly charismatic, and you can make SO MANY PUNS with his name. Come on people. I built this bandwagon, there is currently still quite a bit of seating on it. Stitt for Michigan


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 days ago [Title] You know how to fix that? [Body]

Output: Beat the fucking 5 win team at home. This team is not good at football. Would you rather the fans ignore that fact, pack the stadium to the brim, and cheer like soccer moms while they get fucking pummeled by a team that, again, won 5 games last year and is breaking in basically an entirely new defense? I would fucking LOOOOOOVE if people did that at my job. I would love if I got to fuck up that badly and people would just say "well, it happens. I'll keep purchasing from you in the hopes that you eventually stop fucking up!" But that's not how life works. You fuck up enough, people get mad, and you lose your job. You want the fans to support the coaches? Get them to stop being so bad at their jobs


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I loathe this train of thought [Body]

Output: Don't ever tell people how to spend their money, chances are pretty good you're spending money on some pretty useless shit that could go to better things as well. Whether or not skywriting or a banner is proper in this situation, the "couldn't you spend this on charity" comment is totally pointless. I could spend the money I buy beer with on feeding the homeless, but I don't, because I work my ass off so I can enjoy that fucking money how I please.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] That doesn't make it better [Body]

Output: You realize that right?


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 3 days ago [Title] When you play the game of coaches [Body]

Output: You either win, or you get paid millions of dollars to do nothing for a few years.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I'm conflicted [Body]

Output: On one hand, it's another thing to add to "Dumb things Jameis Winston has done" On the other....I would be lying if I told you I have never yelled that at friend's. Close friends, and in my defense it was actual, helpful advice


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 11 hours ago [Title] There will be nothing left [Body]

Output: Regardless of result, the fan base would consume itself from the inside like a dying star, eventually condensing into an inconceivably dense singularity of "I told you so"


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Hoke is the unluckiest coach ever [Body]

Output: Because somehow terrible things keep happening to him which make him look incompetant...but it's never his fault


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Miami hung with Michigan for a half [Body]

Output: Miami hasn't won a game since October. Of 2012. If they play that first half against a team with a pulse they are down 14 going into halftime.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I forgot [Body]

Output: Everything is Rod's fault! Gosh darn it, if only he had recruited better we could have hung with Notre Dame last week!


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Hold the snark [Body]

Output: Until he wins a single big road game. Just one. Just fucking one. Or come back and tell us how great he is after State whips his ass by 30


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 2 days ago [Title] It was a terrible call [Body]

Output: And it's not about it costing us this game, it's becoming a pattern that Hoke doesn't know what the fuck he's doing


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm so glad [Body]

Output: The most supportive argument in favor of Brady Hoke's terrible coaching is reminding us that he almost lost to Akron last year.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Truly sorry [Body]

Output: That we weren't talking about how great the coaching was after getting destroyed by ND.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm sorry [Body]

Output: I've forgotten that until this point, Brady Hoke was unblemished as head coach.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Title] When people have me flat cut briskets [Body]

Output: I always save the trim in a pile, mix it with some of the leaner trim off a top butt....oh man....it just does not get better


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Why is funk still on?! [Body]

Output: Should Daryl Funk really still have a job? Do you honest to god believe that? Also, what has Fred Jackson done lately? When has he landed a recruit that has panned out? What great Running Back has he churned out after Mike Hart, and even then how responsible was he for Hart? Jackson was kept on by Rod because he was familiar with the high school coaches in state and RB coach is a nice place to stash a guy who doesn't really bring a whole lot to the teaching aspect of coaching. He was an attempt at easing the transition to a new school and it's new recruiting footprint, something Hoke certainly does not need. Oh, and Manning was RB coach at Cinci in 2012 when they lead the Big East in rushing, so excuse me for thinking he might not ruin our backs.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Now there's a slogan for the Brady Hoke Era [Body]

Output: "Better than literally the worst" Oh, but Hoke masterminded the MSU game as well....


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Title] If you think we are beating MSU [Body]

Output: I believe you are being more unreasonable. I'm not reacting to one game, I'm reacting to the whole of Brady Hoke's tenure, which has been underwhelming at best considering the level of competition he faces on a yearly basis. I think it's reasonalbe to worry about the chances in conference when there are 2 tough road games on the schedule, and Hoke has been lucky to even stay competitive in tough road games during his tenure. Yeah, I could be wrong, we could still win the Big Ten, but it does not seem likely unless this team does things that Hoke has never proven capable of doing.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Title] The longer Harbaugh goes unsigned [Body]

Output: The longer this is a possibility. And yes, I know Brandon would never do it. If Harbaugh lets it be known to people at the university that he's not happy in his situation and would consider a move to Michigan, Dave Brandon will have no say in the matter.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Finally, an MgoFeature I have expertise in [Body]

Output: Fuck yeah, mad butcher skills coming at ya in the comments section. Though there isn't much to talk about burger wise. Try to buy it from smaller stores, though if you do shop at the larger Kroger/Meijer buy it from the case, not the pre wrapped or tube stuff. The stuff in the case is at least ground on site, from the trim they have from anything they have cut that day. If you want to make absolutely certain you are getting fresh stuff, pick out a chuck roast and have them grind it for you. If your butcher isn't willing to do that, get a new butcher. If you can talk your butcher into it, or have a grinder at home, try 50/50 mix of very lean beef (I prefer Sirloin Tip) and bacon. Any kind of bacon will do, it's a really good application for wayside if you have any laying around. Cooks up just like burger but has a delicious bacon flavor, and stays juicy even past medium rare! Finally, just a pet peeve. If you get burger home and it is brown on the inside, it's not because we hit old burger inside new burger. All meat, and hamburger in particular, needs oxygen to stay red. When it isn't exposed to air, meat turns brown, if you spread it out and aerate it, it will brighten right back up in a few minutes, though the taste is no different either way.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I'm convinced [Body]

Output: That if, somehow, Miami were to beat us on Saturday, I would find people here talking about how Hoke had a few bad breaks that game, how Miami got lucky, we were too inexperienced and just need some time to get things worked out. It really is like taking crazy pills. How much worse does this team have to get before people realize Hoke isn't a good coach? He's had like, 4 double digit win seasons in his entire career, and all but one of them came against MAC level competition. He's playing in a terrible conference, he has more resources than every school in the conferene other than one, he's one of the highest paid coaches in the conference, he has the highest paid assistants in the conference, and yet in year four, not a single soul expects him to compete for even a division title! That's supposed to be good enough?


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Title] You need to try a 50/50 burger [Body]

Output: 50 % ground beef knuckle, 50 % ground bacon. It is a life changing experience


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Title] The best part [Body]

Output: Is in the blurb quoted here they mention 2 teams who seem to be on an upward trend, one of which went from being pretty bad to in the damned national title game in one year because they hired a guy some of us around here were praying Brandon would have at least fucking called


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Title] That's problem problem #1 with Hoke [Body]

Output: For him to succeed, he needs to be Gene Chizik, but he's too loyal. Just look at Fred Jackson, sitting there doing nothing while Roy Manning is forced to coach a position he has zero experience with, that is now struggling despite what appears to be a pretty good talent pool. Or Funk, who I'm pretty sure at this point could be reasonably replaced by a few stray hairs from Alex Gibbs or Dante Scharnecchia. Hell, they might be an upgrade, because at least we know at one point in time they were in the general vicinity of being able to coach an effective O-line.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I don't expect a rebuilt Rome [Body]

Output: I would settle for a few nice building here and there. I see a couple horse drawn carriages and the burned out shell of a library


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Title] It's not only the Rice thing [Body]

Output: Goodell has proven over and over again he is a paragon of incompetance. From his seemingly random handling of player discipline to the ref strike, all the way back to 2009 when he said in legal arguments that he believed repeated head trauma had no permanent effect on a person. Rice is only the most recent and damning piece of evidence we have that Roger Goodell has no idea what he's doing. Even if, somehow, someway he did everything in his power to acquire this video, something that can be seriously questioned if the AP story has even a shred of truth to it, his not seeing it does not give him a free pass on the subject. As he himself once said regarding the Saints bounty case "Ignorance is no excuse"


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Title] 9-3 is only possible [Body]

Output: Because they play the mother of all softball schedules. They can go 9-3 and be a pretty bad football team if they catch Hackenberg on a bad night. Put this team in the pac 12 or SEC and they struggle to get to 8 wins


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Title] On wrestling [Body]

Output: The team is loaded with a ludicrous amount of talent due to the recruiting power of the assistant coaches and a few banner years of just huge named kids in state, Massa, Thomas, Coon and the likes. They've put together like, 4 or 5 straight top 5ish recruiting classes, if they ever are going to really put it together and make a run at a conference, and by default a national title, this is it. PSU finally graduates Ruth and Taylor, Minnesota loses Nelson and...one of the Ness's...there's like 5. We've got one seroius threat for a national title in Coon, and I maintain that Massa will at least be in the conversation by the end of the year. Maybe you get one or 2 more surprise contenders out of a gaggle of top ranked recruits like Zac Hall, or Ben Whitford. All of them where top ten recruits in their class. Oh Michigan already has the number 1 recruit of the curent senior class commited, in no small part because he's the younger of the two Massa brother's. So yeah, we recruit at a ludicrous and nearly undheard of level ,but so far the results have been a little dissapointing. Michgian is still a very good team, they just havent been anywhere near good enough to compete for conference titles in the totally bonkers Big ten.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 6 days ago [Title] We only do it because we love having you around [Body]

Output: Also, Bob Stitt


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Are we bringing up crazy coach candidates now? [Body]

Output: Because I've got two words for that Stitt. Happens.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 6 days ago [Title] What's sad [Body]

Output: Mediocrity is the goal around here now. People see the team struggle and the overwheliming response is "but football is hard guys, it's not fair to say they are doing a bad job, i'm sure they are trying super hard, they just need more time, like, how about 4 more years. That might be enough time but we have to see and make sure nothing bad happens that would make it even harder to be good at football"


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 6 days ago [Title] We had a bad O-line last year [Body]

Output: And didn't get shut out by an ND defense missing 4 starters


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Bullshit [Body]

Output: You cannot play a good game and lose 31-0. They got destroyed in the secondary, they could do absolutely nothing against a very young and inexperienced defense when they had to. Michigan got tons of yards when it didn't matter and never stopped ND when it did, and because of that we're gonna pretend like this team did a good job? They got fucking killed!


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 6 days ago [Title] That's how it works [Body]

Output: When you get paid 4 million to win football games, and don't


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 6 days ago [Title] How many next year's does hoke get? [Body]

Output: 2? 3? Do we just stick with him hoping the magical experience fairy solves all our problems? When do we take an honest look at the program and team, realize they are not getting it done and will not get it done under the current staff, and admit that a change needs to be made?


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 6 days ago [Title] This 'Football is hard" bullshit is getting real old [Body]

Output: Hoke has been here 4 years, they didn't have these problems in year 1, they have developed them as he's been head coach. Eventually the players are no longer simply young, they are unprepared


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] allofmywut [Body]

Output: Mark Richt could coach circles around Hoke. Maybe wait until Hoke even makes a championship game before comparing him to one of the most succesful head coaches in the game


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] Rodriguez was 4 years ago [Body]

Output: When is it going to be Hoke's fault? Was 11-2 all Hoke yet somehow getting the shit kicked out of us 4 years later is all on Rich Rod? Or is it Borges and Funk? Who...exactly...do you think hired those guys? Who kept Funk on staff after the single worst O-line in Michigan history?


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] So, don't express negative opinions towards the program [Body]

Output: Worst loss against ND in...what...ever? Nothing to see here, just gonna clap along with Brady! 3-7 in the last 10 games with no quality wins? Why, that's exactly why he gets paid 4 million a year! Fuck that, it's not like anything said here is going to change the AD's mind or have even the slightest impact on the program. Let people bitch into the void, it's cathartic.


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] You know why it's not a Jim Harbaugh comment? [Body]

Output: Because like everyone loves to say on press conference day, no one would care if he was winning


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 1 day ago [Title] What are they in danger of? [Body]

Output: Becoming a mediocre football team only thought to be elite because enough people still vaguely remember when they were dominant? Because if that's what you are worried might happen....i've got some bad news.....


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Arizona would whoop UofM's ass [Body]

Output: If they played this year, it would be ugly. At least they have wins against teams with a pulse. Brady has beaten the worst OSU team in a decade, a few mediocre ND squads, and a VT team that had no business being in the BCS. That's it.


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I guess my biggest problem with your evaluation of Hoke [Body]

Output: Is I don't even think he's the guy who gets us back to good. I don't think he's Doug Collins, I think he's Mike D'antoni, in that he had success elsewhere, took over a once proud franchise in a down period, and added exactly zero value. We are doing nothing but biding time with Hoke, and it would be better to rip the band aid off now than to drag it out another 3 years, winning 8 games a year without ever beating MSU or OSU, only to have to do it once Hoke's recruiting mojo has worn off as his complete inability to develop or improve players is showcased.


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 5 days ago [Title] The difference being [Body]

Output: Alabama did not put up negative rushing yards against one of the worst run defenses in the country. Borges did more to make himself look bad than any fans ever did, he was a good coordinator a decade ago, he hasn't been for years.


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Mason Cole isn't Cam Robinson [Body]

Output: Pretty big difference between the two


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Only to a team he agrees to go to [Body]

Output: Can't trade a QO player without their consent


Input: [Date] 1 year 1 week ago [Title] If you like Backwoods Bastard [Body]

Output: You need to try Burton Baton by Dogfish Head. Not Michigan, I know, but they make one of the best IPA's I've ever had, any of their varieties, and the Burton Baton is an Imperial IPA that gets the Barrel Aging treatment. It's absolutely outstanding.


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Title] I take offense to that [Body]

Output: I work with meat all day and I usually only blow up at my co workers 1, 2 times in a full work day max. BUT MAYBE IF THEY WOULD PUT THE FUCKING TRAYS BACK WHERE THEY BELONG WE COULD CUT THAT NUMBER DOWN!!! .....yeaah.....perfectly calm and composed....


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Title] No, go crazier [Body]

Output: Trade Scherzer to the Braves for Alex Wood, Tyler Pastornicky, and one of the dozen bullpen arms they have.


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Title] Your last paragraph scares me [Body]

Output: The Lions do think they are close to making that leap, despite hiring maybe the worst coach in the league. I could totally see Mayhew and Lewand sitting down and saying "If only we had a shut down corner like Champ Bailey, we could really take the next step towards a title" Keep in mind I do not think he is a shut down corner, and he would get absolutely abused by the top 2 receivers on any team in the NFC North save maybe Minnesota. The Lions though, they might think he is, because again, Lions gonna Lions.


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] If it was damn near any other owner [Body]

Output: I'd say this is just stupid rumor mongering. Gores however, is quickly in the running for worst owner in the NBA. Really shouldn't be surprised though. He has a passing interest in basketball at best, and is a bona fide scum bag.


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Title] If KD is the Slim Reaper [Body]

Output: Can Austin Daye be the Trim Sleeper?


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Title] He looks waaaaaaaaaaay too much [Body]

Output: Like characters I would make in like NBA 2k6. Just, 7 feet tall, 99 everything. Dropped 200 in a game with him once...had 50 rebounds too....


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Title] Got in just as the shit was about to hit [Body]

Output: I'm sorry mods, this is why we can't have nice things...


Input: [Date] 1 year 24 weeks ago [Title] What were the respective teams' records again? [Body]

Output: How was OSU last year compared to Michigan? Maybe, perhaps, he wants to go to a better program?


Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Title] "like most of you" [Body]

Output: There's your problem right there. Not that I would insult anyone for there taste in comedy, but that show gets pretty mixed reviews from the type of crows Mgoblog attracts.


Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Title] I think the problem was not having a plan in place [Body]

Output: He traded him for cap space, and he knew who was going to be available. That was a pretty bad free agent class, there weren't any great fits for the team, and he refused to accept that the team was in decline. While the cap room move is generally a good idea, it was so poorly executed, it's hard to call it a success. Why not hang on to Chauncey, and try to deal someone else? Were the other players contracts so bad that they were untradeable? If so, who gave them those contracts? Did he simply overvalue Prince/Hamilton? The notion of "get cap space" is all well and good, but the giant clusterfuck surrounding every other aspect of the trade is impossible to ignore.


Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Title] Exactly [Body]

Output: A GM desperate for another year does incredibly dumb things. 4 years for Josh Smith? Why the fuck not, it's not like you'll have to deal with more than 1 if it doesn't work out.


Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Title] I never got that line of thinking [Body]

Output: Especially when, if you don't like Gores, there is plenty to criticize him about. Like rushing on the floor after a preseason game, or not letting Dumars use the amnesty on Gordon. I'm not sure if anyone has reported that, but there is NO WAY Dumars was dumb enough to trade a first rounder to dump a contract, if he could wipe it clean off the cap with the amnesty, unless the owner told him to do so.


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Title] That's setting a pretty high bar [Body]

Output: Trey Burke and a bunch of scrubs who won 1 game out of 12 while he was injured were 21 points better than the Pistons at the Palace.


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Title] We've seen that story [Body]

Output: Ever hear of a guy named Barry Sanders? Detroit fans are sick of losing. We don't want exciting players, we want a winning team. I'd trade Calvin Johnson if it helped the team win. That trade doesn't exist, but if you gave the fans a choice between Calvin Johnson and a division title, you know what they would pick. I would give my left testicle to have 2 rings like the Giants. It doesn't mean shit that we have Calvin Johnson and you have a Qb who wouldn't look out of place selling used Honda's.


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Title] Since Ford bought the team in 1963 [Body]

Output: The Lions have had 13 winning seasons 5 seasons of double digit wins 10 playoff appearances 3 division titles 1 playoff win So forgive Lions fans for assuming the team will be awful until he sells it.


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Title] This gif is hypnotizing [Body]

Output: It's like the entertainment from Infinite Jest. I can't look away


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Title] auburn was also a 3 win team [Body]

Output: Improving from 7 wins to 9 isnt the same as 3 to 9. That Auburn team last year was abysmal, this years team is better than any Hoke has ever fielded. So no, it can't happen.


Input: [Date] 5 days 16 hours ago [Body] finally someone understands that winning a coach of the year award means you are a good coach! signed, The winner of 2011 B1G coach of the year and Maxwell national coach of the year Brady Hoke. [Title]

Output: THANK YOU!


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] Did you seriously just ask Chunkums how he has 10k points? I'll tell you how, he is an OG and has been the creator of some of the best things I have ever seen on this site..gtfo my lawn and all that [Title]

Output: Bahahaha


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Title]

Output: I like this goal


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Body] that it started in 2007, but it was still ok to be an arrogant Michigan fan that year. It wasn't until 2008 that we really had to eat our first humble pie. Really we haven't been good since I found Mgoblog, every year I accept that a bit more. I hope it's finaly over and I can enjoy some good times in the future with this group of Michigan fans/nutjobs. [Title]

Output: I agree


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Body] when people say Harbaugh still wanted him badly. DeWeaver decommitted like a few hours after Harbaugh left his house. Obviously he wasn't happy with the way the visit went. [Title]

Output: That's why I laugh


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Body] judge of talent, but I like this kids tape better than any recent qb recruit weve gotten. He's big,strong, good arm with accuracy, and a fearlss runner. On top of that he looks like he plays with confidence and swagger. I miss watching a qb who has that look. [Title]

Output: I am no great


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I am the watcher on the couch....and now my wait begins. [Title]

Output: I am


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Brian Greise, and John Navarre had about as many reps in Arizona. Denard is getting more reps than Cousins is, they are at RB but they are still NFL reps which you seem to value so much. Also when did reps become the measure of a quality palyer?
