Output: How about recruiting rucksack ?


Input: [Date] 3 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Dog Park North of the City [Body]

Output: Try the Olson dog park out on DhuVarren Rd. just past Pontiac Trail (need to drive there). We've been going there for a while and never have encountered anyone from the city, but "legally" you do need a license. There is regular park next to the dog park there that in the winter is rarely used. Lots of bikers in the summer, so careful about letting the dog off leash then. Steer clear of letting your dog off leash in the Arb, at least during the spring/summer/fall, you will be told to put it back on a leash by someone as Ann Arborites never fail to let you know what you are doing wrong. Winter is a different story because not many people venture out there in the cold/snow. There are plenty of regular parks around, just takes a bit of exploring.


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Title] trial example [Body]

Output: Correct with the Bayesian therory, however, when you are a juror you must presume the defendant is innocent (or are at least instructed to do so) until proven guilty by the prosecution; thus, in reality you should start out 0/100 until evidence and argument is heard. Just sayin'...


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Unfortunatley, you jump to [Body]

Output: Unfortunatley, you jump to incorrect conclusions. I grew up in Ohio, so YES I know that Ohio is different from OSU. The difference is OhioU, as everyone from Ohio calls it, has little to no presence in the state. It is dominated by OSU, so much so that people wear OSU gear to the OhioU football games. If VT people see us saying beat Virginia, they will just laugh and think we are idiots. It won't bother them in the least, infact they may relish it because they have been the king of football in the state of Virginia for ages. I can't remember the last time UVA beat VT. VT has huge presence in the state of Virginia in general. The best part of saying Beat Ohio is that is means something (going back to Woody and TSUN) and it pisses OSU people off. It does not carry the same weight with VT, so there is no point and we just look stupid.


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Just no. [Body]

Output: Beat Virginia doesn't work because Virginia is UVa, not Virginia Tech. Very very different. UVa even sells car stickers that are"Virginia" while all things Virginia Tech are VT. Having lived in Virginia it makes a very big difference.

Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Legacy like whoa. [Body]

Output: I'm the 25th member of my family to attend Michigan, going back to great-grandparents. My paternal great-grandfather graduated with an engineering degree from Michigan in 1918 and, remarkably, my great-grandMOTHER graduated with her masters in english and latin in the early 1920s. My grandfather was a third string fullback for the wolverines back in the day. My parents met at UM, married here, and then moved to Ohio for my dad's job. I was raised a Michigan fan in Ohio during the Cooper years, so at least I won all the bets on games, although I received crap all the time from OSU fans. I still remember my third grade teacher asking me in front of the entire class why I was wearing a michigan sweatshirt to school and telling me to take it off. This adversity made me and my brother extremely fanatical because we had to be on top of our game at all times to trump OSU fans. My parents have had season tickets for 40 years and I've been attending football games since I was 6. I had to miss my first game when I was 5 because I had the chicken pox (thought this was the end of the world, but it made for a good admissions essay). You better believe my kids will be brought up blue, even though the fiance is a state fan (has degrees from both state and UM), because who has season tickets?? This girl! Go blue!

Input: [Date] 6 years 18 weeks ago [Title] SPSS [Body]

Output: SPSS is archaic, but hard to mess up if you know what statistical tests you need to run and how to interpret them. I'd recommend SAS version 9.2, which you have access to as a student. Can be purchased for $40 (student price) at the union if you have a PC. SAS is the standard statistical analysis tool.

I have to say the piped in music made me cringe but i accepted it, the lack of Bullwinkle time is anathema to me. [Title]

Output: All of these are gone?


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

Input: [Date] 5 years 50 weeks ago [Body] I have worked in dealer service as an advisor for 7 years. I can probably answer a lot of your questions, so fire away. Blazefire, dealers are independantly owned and operated. Manufacturers have no ability to tell the dealers what to do. You can complain, and those complaints will be forwarded to the dealer, but they cannot force the dealer to do anything. bj, the dealer i work at would have charged you $100 to tell you that. gas cap = evaporative system leak. Diagnosing this usually means they had to pressurize the fuel system and follow for the leak. The tech is gonna charge 1 hour labor for that. that being said, when a customer tells me their service engine light is on my 1st question is always 'did you just get gas? is the cap tight? check it and call me back'. gordie, was the car new when you bought it? if so the remotes are probably covered under the factory warranty. i would guess at least 3 years, but i don't know what specific make you have. there are dozens of different extended warranties out there. some cover remotes, some don't. you can always call them directly and ask, it's possible the advisor is assuming they don't cover it cause so many don't and he never specifically checked. did you already try replacing the batteries in the remotes? if it's not the remotes themselves then yeah, i could see having to leave it off for a while, electrical diagnostics are a bear. hope this helps [Title]

I think it's gonna be somethign that for me Michigan football has not been in a while.... exciting. I think the offense will be dynamic and fst-paced, and the defense.... well the defense will keep us on the dge of our seats. Are we gonna be 12-0, 11-1 or even 10-2. no i don't think so. will i root for and expect them to win each individual game? of course. I'll be okay with 7-5 but i will expect much more.

Crable is on IR as the previous poster stated, but from what I had gathered his special teams performance was lacking and one reason he hadn't seen any playig time even prior to his shin injury. Also, AD is not out for the season at this point but it's still early. [Title]

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Title] No, not in terms of the [Body]

Output: No, not in terms of the worthiness of the relative activities. I understand that some people will enjoy one and not the other. That is perfectly fine by me, no argument there. It is confusing to me that someone who thinks it is worth their time to watch other people play an athletic game on tv think it is dumb to watch a competitive esport on tv. Reading this thread it seems there are a lot of them.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Indeed. It is also odd to me [Body]

Output: Indeed. It is also odd to me that being a nerd is still seen as a bad thing by some people. Is not Game of Thrones, an epic fantasy, not essentially the most popular show on television right now? And isn't every other major blockbuster a superhero movie these days (not that I support that trend). It seems so mainstream. Odd to me that video gaming still has that stigma attached while it is now relatively "normal" to enjoy nerd content that was once seen in the same light.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Cracks me up that so many [Body]

Output: Cracks me up that so many sports fans think it is weird that some people like watching competitive video games. How is it any more useless of an activity than watching other people play real games? The validity of watching esports is exactly the same as watching real sports. It is just a matter of preference or what you enjoy.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Even more crazy is that some [Body]

Output: Before he got there, the farthest VCU had ever made it in the tournament was the round of 32, and they had gotten there 5 times EVER. He made it to the round of 32 or farther in 3 of his 6 seasons. His system won't work at Texas? Pitino runs an awfully similar system at Louisville and he seems to be doing just fine.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 19 hours ago [Title] People put too much weight on [Body]

Output: People put too much weight on NCAA performance when judging a coach. Yes he has had a couple bad exits in recent years, but his teams have consistently performed at a high level during the regular season. The tournament wins will come. Texas isn't a basketball school but they are always able to get some great athletes who will be able to run his system effectively. I think this is a great hire personally.

Input: [Date] 19 weeks 4 days ago [Title] This is somewhat tangential [Body]

Output: This is somewhat tangential to the article, but I don't know where else to ask. A while ago in one of his numerous Brandon criticism pieces Brian referenced something (an article? a book? I can't remember) that talked about how modern companies have begun to focus on short term financials rather than care about the quality of their product. This is hurting the long term viability of these companies because eventually their product is crap and they can't compete even though they maximized profits for a few years. Does anyone know the source that he was referencing? I have seen this trend in a number of areas and I would love to read the full article (or whatever it is). Any help would be much appreciated.

There is now a third high school which is called Plymouth High school, whose mascot is a Wildcat. Fun fact, the winner of the community vote for Plymouth's mascot was "Plymouth Predators". Due to the negative connotations of "predator" it was changed at the last minute to the ever generic wildcat.

Output: Brian, thanks for this analysis but I was actually hoping to get your opinion on the PSI of the footballs used in the Patriots-Colts game... Just kidding of course. Interesting stuff. I know this is probably wishful thinking in the modern college game, but I really hope they try to get Peppers involved in the offense as well. Seems like even using him as a slot guy that only runs a handful of plays would be extremely dangerous. I doubt there are many college DBs that can run with him.

Input: [Date] 28 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I wouldn't be so quick to [Body]

Output: I wouldn't be so quick to take the loss. Don is looking at the coaches retrospectively and not their attractiveness at the time of hire, which is unfair. I would say from that perspective this staff compares favorably with that one. It is quite possible Drevno, Durkin, Wheatley, and Harbaugh the younger go on to have glorious NC winning careers.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Their play styles aren't even [Body]

Output: Their play styles aren't even remotely similar. Manziel is an improviser/scrambler type while Mariota is much more of a pure runner/system passer. Mariota won't be a successful traditional NFL QB (just like Manziel won't) but if any NFL team decides to try a college style spread Mariota would be the number one choice to run it.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I am really hoping he falls [Body]

Output: I am really hoping he falls to the eagles and allows chip kelly to build a true spread offense with a dual threat quarterback like he had at Oregon. I might actually watch the NFL if that happened.

Output: One of the cool thing about coaching searches is that you learn about other people/coaches to root for. I started investigating Stitt after Brian brought him up and followed him on twitter. He seems like a genuinely fun guy and a really smart coach. As silly as it is I will probably follow the rest of his career and cheer for his teams. Stuff like that is part of what makes college football so much fun.

Input: [Date] 33 weeks 5 days ago [Title] This is a good point. The [Body]

Output: This is a good point. The biggest variable in everyone's evaluation of Mullen is how you take the quality of his competition into account versus other candidates. Even most advanced models have a difficult time taking into account how bad the teams he beat were and how good the teams he lost to were. So to bring it back to your point, the pro Mullen crowd would disagree that he has a history of okay coaching. I'd say he pretty solidly outperformed MSU's historical average. This year put him on the map as a guy who could make it big, but I think he was already a solid candidate before this year. Besides, look at the other plan B's that are popping up. Does anyone really want Schiano or Addazio over Mullen. Like, really? I just don't see the need for having that debate. The only real debate in plan B's is Mullen versus Les.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Here is my opinion on the [Body]

Output: Here is my opinion on the Harbaugh yes/no pendulum: Harbaugh hasn't made up his mind. Friends/colleagues/acquaintances are constantly asking him about the Michigan job. He gives his thoughts without giving a definite answer. The people asking are left to read in between the lines because "He hasn't decided" isn't buzzworthly insider new. So they give their personal spin on it. Most NFL guys read into his indecision as a "no" because they believe no one would ever leave the NFL if they didn't have to (as Brian keeps stating). Most Michigan guys read into his indecision as a "yes" because what michigan guy wouldn't want to be the new Bo? They are just defaulting to their own current bias on the situation. So really, we just have to wait until Harbaugh makes up his mind. All this crap is just people who don't know shit giving us their opinion about Harbaugh's indecision.

Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Body] First of all Andrew Luck is a REDSHIRT SOPHOMORE. But anyway, on to your question. I can't speak for others that want Harbaugh, but I think your question raises an important point. Some say that people only want Harbaugh because he went to UM, but as you say, people weren't clamoring for him before now. As for me (a person who wants JH to replace RR), I supported RR from day one. I liked the hire and was excited about it. I thought at the time it was too soon to hire Harbaugh. After Stanford had a decent run last year and we had a losing record again, I still supported RR and was willing to give him another year. I also knew that if JH kept it up and RR kept losing, I was going to want him to coach here. Then after this year, when Harbaugh lost his Heisman Trophy runner-up RB and yet improved his team's record to 11-1, while our team got either pasted or beat handily by the top half of the Big Ten, I knew it was time for a change. Harbaugh has proven himself now and has done enough to earn the coaching position at Michigan. If we hired him three years ago, I honestly think we would be in much, much better shape than we are in now, but he hadn't done enough at the time. We didn't know he was this good of a coach. Now we do and it's time for him to come home. [Title]

Output: First of all Andrew Luck is a


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Can it not be true that we both needed a transition and that RR is not the right person? What have you seen to be convinced that we are going to be dominant in recruiting? What have you seen that suggests we are going to contend for national championships? I think you really just assume this stuff but after watching our team for 12 games, we don't seem close to competing for a top 3 finish in the Big Ten, let alone a MNC. We definitely aren't burning up the recruiting trail. I agree we needed some sort of change but that doesn't mean we chose the right guy to do it. [Title]

Output: Can it not be true that we


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Body] But his thread title stated that Wojo was "at it again," presumably meaning he was again suggesting Rod should be fired. I think that is the part with which the second poster was taking umbrage. Even the most ardent supporter of RR can no longer say that people calling for his ouster are out of line. [Title]

Output: But his thread title stated


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] I think that is what is so distressing--the "had the offense started earlier" excuse can be applied to 3 of our 4 losses (our offense against MSU never really came around). One or two slow starts is expected but three starts to seem like a pattern, We can debate the reasons until we are blue in the face but the fact remains that when we needed our offense to keep pace with the other teams', it didn't. [Title]

Output: I think that is what is so

Input: [Date] 5 years 13 weeks ago [Body] There is no way OSU wouldn't automatically be on our schedule. That's only 3 conference games in your division, so there are 5 others to be filled. I'd guess there would be one locked-in opponent for us and the other 4 would rotate. Not sure how it would work logistically, but I see no way that the B10 would ever do away with UM/OSU on an annual basis [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 20 weeks ago [Body] If you want to indulge, then go to Sona and get the tasting menu. The chef is David Myers and he is amazing. I have only been once, but it was by far the best (and most expensive) meal I have ever had. It is on La Cienega just north of Beverly Blvd and you will not be disappointed. Other Favorites: --Umami Burger (few different locations in Hollywood. quite possibly the best burger in town, if not the hippest) --Lucques does a sunday night tasting menu called "Sunday supper" which is $45 a person. It's a different menu each week and is a pretty good deal for high-end gourmet food that tastes great. Check their website midweek for a0 --Il Pastaio--Beverly Hills staple that just makes damn good Italian food.

Input: [Date] 5 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Love the suggestions everyone. Anyone have any suggestions on books about Post-Communist Russia? I'm fascinated with it, especially after Scott Anderson's article in GQ: http://www.kavkazcenter.com/eng/content/2009/09/06/10979.shtml For those that are haven't heard about it, Anderson wrote this piece on the FSB apartment bombings that took place around the turn of the Century. The reason that I didn't provide a GQ link is because you can't find it on their website. They ran the article, but tried every way possible to bury it. Here's an NPR article on why Conde Nast buried it and tried to make sure it wasn't read in Russia: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112530364 It's fascinating stuff and Anderson's investigative article is amazing.

Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] I grew up a Michigan fan in Ohio too. Granted, those were the Cooper years so we had the upper hand. My fandom came from my dad taking me to at least one Michgian home game every year. It was THE event of the fall for me as a kid. We would arrive in Ann Arbor early Saturday to get good parking near the stadium, walk downtown go to Steve and Barry's, go to my uncle's tailgate, watch the Marching Band march to the stadium, go to the game early for the band pre-game show, get a pop during the game so we could have the plastic take-home cup with the schedule on it, and drive back home listening to the post-game radio. Kids don't need lots of swag, I was perfectly content to have my cup and a t-shirt. There is nothing like a football game-day experience to build fandom, but since you are in Toledo, you could easily come up for a hockey game, baseball game, soccer game..etc. Show him there is more to Michigan than just football (I know, crazy, right?). If your child is athletic, you could also see if there are any summer sports camps he could attend as he gets older. I came to the summer swim camp and stayed in West Quad for a week in middle school and high school. That was a great way to see Ann Arbor in the summer and get to know the town and school better. You could also come up and see some of the student plays and shows if that's your thing as well. There is also the exhibits at the Natural History Museum. Good luck! [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 3 weeks ago [Body] Try the Olson dog park out on DhuVarren Rd. just past Pontiac Trail (need to drive there). We've been going there for a while and never have encountered anyone from the city, but "legally" you do need a license. There is regular park next to the dog park there that in the winter is rarely used. Lots of bikers in the summer, so careful about letting the dog off leash then. Steer clear of letting your dog off leash in the Arb, at least during the spring/summer/fall, you will be told to put it back on a leash by someone as Ann Arborites never fail to let you know what you are doing wrong. Winter is a different story because not many people venture out there in the cold/snow. There are plenty of regular parks around, just takes a bit of exploring. [Title]

Output: Dog Park North of the City


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Correct with the Bayesian therory, however, when you are a juror you must presume the defendant is innocent (or are at least instructed to do so) until proven guilty by the prosecution; thus, in reality you should start out 0/100 until evidence and argument is heard.

Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] Unfortunatley, you jump to incorrect conclusions. I grew up in Ohio, so YES I know that Ohio is different from OSU. The difference is OhioU, as everyone from Ohio calls it, has little to no presence in the state. It is dominated by OSU, so much so that people wear OSU gear to the OhioU football games. If VT people see us saying beat Virginia, they will just laugh and think we are idiots. It won't bother them in the least, infact they may relish it because they have been the king of football in the state of Virginia for ages. I can't remember the last time UVA beat VT. VT has huge presence in the state of Virginia in general. The best part of saying Beat Ohio is that is means something (going back to Woody and TSUN) and it pisses OSU people off. It does not carry the same weight with VT, so there is no point and we just look stupid. [Title]

Output: Unfortunatley, you jump to


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] Beat Virginia doesn't work because Virginia is UVa, not Virginia Tech. Very very different. UVa even sells car stickers that are"Virginia" while all things Virginia Tech are VT. Having lived in Virginia it makes a very big difference. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Body] I'm the 25th member of my family to attend Michigan, going back to great-grandparents. My paternal great-grandfather graduated with an engineering degree from Michigan in 1918 and, remarkably, my great-grandMOTHER graduated with her masters in english and latin in the early 1920s. My grandfather was a third string fullback for the wolverines back in the day. My parents met at UM, married here, and then moved to Ohio for my dad's job. I was raised a Michigan fan in Ohio during the Cooper years, so at least I won all the bets on games, although I received crap all the time from OSU fans. I still remember my third grade teacher asking me in front of the entire class why I was wearing a michigan sweatshirt to school and telling me to take it off. This adversity made me and my brother extremely fanatical because we had to be on top of our game at all times to trump OSU fans. My parents have had season tickets for 40 years and I've been attending football games since I was 6. I had to miss my first game when I was 5 because I had the chicken pox (thought this was the end of the world, but it made for a good admissions essay). You better believe my kids will be brought up blue, even though the fiance is a state fan (has degrees from both state and UM), because who has season tickets?? This girl! Go blue! [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 8 weeks ago [Body] That would be cool but I think they tried that a couple of years ago with probation/eligibility and it wasn't executed well. I used Michigan and had a couple of incidents over 4-5 years but a friend of mine playing with a SEC school (imagine that) complained about it being a huge pain in the ass. He lost several players for random amounts of games due to academics and off field issues. Maybe they'll try again in the future. I'm not sure why but EA loves to drop features and bring them back years later claiming they are "new". I'm still waiting for the play editor to return. Having Denard with full dreads and 99 speed/acceleration will ease the pain slightly. [Title]

I live in KY and the UK football team is the neglected child of the university. The basketball team is constantly getting media attention even during football season. It's kinda sad. The coaches are polar opposites. Joker is down to earth and a real person and then you have Calipari the pinnacle of douchebaggery. Well maybe a close second to Tressel. [Title]

Output: First of all Andrew Luck is a REDSHIRT SOPHOMORE. But anyway, on to your question. I can't speak for others that want Harbaugh, but I think your question raises an important point. Some say that people only want Harbaugh because he went to UM, but as you say, people weren't clamoring for him before now. As for me (a person who wants JH to replace RR), I supported RR from day one. I liked the hire and was excited about it. I thought at the time it was too soon to hire Harbaugh. After Stanford had a decent run last year and we had a losing record again, I still supported RR and was willing to give him another year. I also knew that if JH kept it up and RR kept losing, I was going to want him to coach here. Then after this year, when Harbaugh lost his Heisman Trophy runner-up RB and yet improved his team's record to 11-1, while our team got either pasted or beat handily by the top half of the Big Ten, I knew it was time for a change. Harbaugh has proven himself now and has done enough to earn the coaching position at Michigan. If we hired him three years ago, I honestly think we would be in much, much better shape than we are in now, but he hadn't done enough at the time. We didn't know he was this good of a coach. Now we do and it's time for him to come home.


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Can it not be true that we [Body]

Output: Can it not be true that we both needed a transition and that RR is not the right person? What have you seen to be convinced that we are going to be dominant in recruiting? What have you seen that suggests we are going to contend for national championships? I think you really just assume this stuff but after watching our team for 12 games, we don't seem close to competing for a top 3 finish in the Big Ten, let alone a MNC. We definitely aren't burning up the recruiting trail. I agree we needed some sort of change but that doesn't mean we chose the right guy to do it.


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] But his thread title stated [Body]

Output: But his thread title stated that Wojo was "at it again," presumably meaning he was again suggesting Rod should be fired. I think that is the part with which the second poster was taking umbrage. Even the most ardent supporter of RR can no longer say that people calling for his ouster are out of line.


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] I think that is what is so [Body]

Output: I think that is what is so distressing--the "had the offense started earlier" excuse can be applied to 3 of our 4 losses (our offense against MSU never really came around). One or two slow starts is expected but three starts to seem like a pattern, We can debate the reasons until we are blue in the face but the fact remains that when we needed our offense to keep pace with the other teams', it didn't.

Output: There is no way OSU wouldn't automatically be on our schedule. That's only 3 conference games in your division, so there are 5 others to be filled. I'd guess there would be one locked-in opponent for us and the other 4 would rotate. Not sure how it would work logistically, but I see no way that the B10 would ever do away with UM/OSU on an annual basis

Seriously though I've been looking for the right sponsor for our Podcast for a long, long time, and when Liz left the beer company she was working for to break out as a consultant and real estate agent, I approached her specifically for this, and made the price a secondary concern because she's the right kind of sponsor. She is, like Harbaugh, herself at full volume all the time, and part of the fabric of the Ann Arbor and Michigan Athletics community. With most of the things I sell we're just helping them market their thing because we have the right audience to market their thing. But this is one of those things where it's more like the sponsor wanted to help us and can justify it if a handful of MGoBloggers use her as their real estate broker. The podcast is a marketable thing that a lot of our advertisers have been interested in; it's not like it took us this long to find a sponsor; it took us this long to find Liz. [Title]

We are doing other things with the alumni association (announcement to come). We also did an event with Todd Howard the night before the 2013 Northwestern (firedrill field goal) game that I put together. We had planned on doing that again, and had the venue chosen and everything, but Michigan was so unwatchable leading up to M00N that we canceled it. Maybe we'll do one after the season. Anyway if/when we do it'll be the second the Chicago Alumni Association Club asks us because they are an excellent group to work with. I think they're coming into town for Northwestern (homecoming) this year. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 days 7 hours ago [Body] One of the keys to all of this is Nebraska isn't leaving the Big Ten; everybody is joining the Big Ten, formerly known as the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives, so that for the sake of TV rights and whatnot all the powers are negotiating as one entity, and scheduling each other. I know it's a pipedream. What I don't want to see is the organic method of growing from a bunch of conferences into a league, because all that does incentivize the current conferences to snatch up any program bigger than a MAC school in a colonial land-grab, which is exactly how we found ourselves in a 7-team division with Maryland and Rutgers while Iowa and Wisconsin and Purdue come around less often than Utah. The conferences grew organically well enough when television was regional and limited to four networks, and declaring a national champion was just a nerdy postseason excercise between professions that have to pay half attention. Today conferences are billion dollar corporations with their television networks, yet theyr'e still functioning under a system that expects them to be faculty representatives from elitist, non-profit educational institutions. The NCAA had their chance to become a true regulatory body, but instead chose to act more like an industry trade organization*. The best thing for college football right now would be to acknowledge that the regional conferences that grew out of the 20th century are anachronisms worth preserving, like historic neighborhoods or whatever. Without that familiar structure the whole enterprise is at risk of becoming too desaturated, i.e. an NFL-lite, which is a crappier product fewer people will care about. When ESPN inevitably defaults on whichever round of promises it has to make to secure the TV rights to the last bastion of un-DVR'able entertainment, the BIG SIX or POWER SIX or whatever you want to term it will be in perfect position to cut Fox and Disney out of their revenue stream and make what they're making now by charging $5/month and selling ads themselves on a streaming college football channel. The Big Ten is just the body out of convenience; the organizing structure of any major conference is sufficient to expand to include the 60-64 schools that operate truly professional-level (i.e. highly profitable) football enterprises. Technically everyone joins the Big Ten, or joins a new conference that handles all the "conference" stuff for the group, and is such a tour de force in college athletics that the NCAA has to kowtow to it. I have no problem trying to fit Baylor and TCU into this (TT might be a stretch since their school's athletic budget is MAC-like despite the school's history). I only left them out because I thought a Texas-based mid-major conference would make for some rockin' good regional football. * Specifically, one for mid-19th century cotton growers [Title]

I would hate to lose Indiana even for a year just for the sake of recognizing 1 or even 5 good years out of say Bowling Green. Rather I capped the conferences at 11 and left spots open for expansion. If the Big East wants to add Rutgers or the Pac Ten want to add Utah there's a mechanism, but that is their only expansion and it forces their teams to all play a 10th conference game instead of an out of conf opponent.

Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Body] Every fan of every team makes all of these same statements about why their school is better, and totally clean too. Fact is the athletes are picking between heavens. Most campuses are beautiful. Most support staff are top notch. FBS coaches are among the top 200 in their profession. NFL talent comes out of so many schools that which coaches develop a position best has to mean less than what that individual player is made of (not that it doesn't matter, especially w/ quarterbacks). A little something extra makes a big difference because there isn't much difference between schools. As for fans, this site's existence when every other indie team site but 11 Warriors can't support even one blogging career speaks to something unique about Michigan fans' dedication. I have a hard time imagining there could ever be a Grantland for Just Clemson. Depending on what section you sit in though I'm sure you can encounter some pretty quiet old farts in Michigan Stadium.

Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Body] The charter schools are taking a few students. But the bigger effect is we built for a temporary population disruption. In the 1960s, 85% (that's ridiculously high) of Bloomfield Hills homes had school-age children. Today that's under 50%. Those numbers were repeated ad nauseum in the local paper/e-newsletter (Patch) during the merging of their high schools. Farmington won't be exactly like that--iBloomfield Hills was built almost entirely after the war and immediately filled with vets starting families, whereas Farmington was a thriving farming town for a century before it became a suburb. But that illustrates why, despite the population not being as hard hit as most of Michigan, these districts are still downsizing. A bit of school funding history: up until I was in college (and Engler was governor) your property taxes went right to the school district. Communities like Ann Arbor, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and Farmington voluntarily raised their property taxes to create elite schools. The rule itself though ultimately created an effect of really good schools in affluent areas and awful schools in poor areas, which isn't really fair considering the state should be providing a good education to all of its citizenry. So the state pooled everybody's property taxes into the state fund, shifted half of them to prisons, and doled out the rest evenly. In response these communities started passing regular bonds. Every few elections there's a bond issue on the ballot, everybody winks at each other, and we pass it, and that money can't be touched by the state. But it does raise the price of living here, because paying off the "bonds" is effectually a permanently increased property tax. It means if you're planning on sending your kid to private school, you can save money by buying a house in another suburb. School choice is a politically charged thing that affects everywhere because there are parents who prefer privitized institutions everywhere. I don't think it's a primary effect in this particular case because the #1 reason people live in Farmington in the first place is the public schools. West Bloomfield is right smack in between Farmington Hills and Bloomfield Hills, but WB has relatively crappy (read: "just pretty good") schools, and far lower taxes because they don't pass school bonds. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Body] I'm not advocating. I'm trying to explain what's going on in my community. We have half as many kids as when all four schools were built, and one routinely has the air conditioning break down and leaks all the time. We pay out the nose in taxes for school bonds to make sure our schools have a huge flow of money, but we've been falling behind Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills lately even though we all do the bond thing to pay for public schools that equate to private schools. That's because they've downsized. BH went to one high school. Birmingham renovated both schools and sold off a big chunk of Groves (my alma mater) to be a Michigan State satellite. The competition for young families in these burbs is fierce and school quality is #1 on the list. So that's why this is coming up. Like anywhere in the Midwest there are some poorer and some richer neighborhoods, but on the whole we're talking about a pretty affluent, education-obsessed suburban community that built for the baby boom and has been a bit oversized ever since that ended. There's a social component, since over time the schools have tended to become somewhat racially and economically segregated. When we do inevitably downsize to three schools, I imagine it will be a good opportunity to undo that. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Toilet Paper Getting on TV was still a relatively new experience, and affecting what so many people were watching was kind of a thrilling thing. You'd see the rolls of toilet paper flying down after the first touchdown of the game and think to your young self "wow it would be so cool to be the guy who threw the toilet paper roll." It really did look festive, like instant confetti or ticker tape. Anyway they stopped when I was 8 or 9 so I never got to throw a roll of TP. Marshmallows I was definitely around for this tradition. It was 99% college students being inebriated (sneaking alcohol or a joint into the stadium was pretty easy pre-9/11) and wanting to throw something harmless. A lot of the mallows went at other students--friends sitting a few rows down and a section over, or a group of girls you walked in with. But there was a mini-game of trying to disrupt the TV crews and the opposing band with them. You tried to aim it so your mallow would pass as close to in front of the camera as possible to screw up their shot, or once they started to bring clear plastic shields, you tried to thunk it off the shield or lob it over. Also by the late '90s the TV crews had these big sound-catching clear plastic radar/dome things, which were as tempting as an opponent's sousaphone. I don't recall there being any real point to the marshmallows. Just a bit of goofy gameday atmosphere. [Title]

Thus the highly ironic and idiotic nature of whatever boogeymen were out there during the RR era, pining for the good old days. Ever since Bo left, the offense we've run that bears the absolute least resemblance to Bo's offense..... is Lloyd Carr's! Lloyd's model was to find a bazooka statue and have him either give to the RB or shoot off rockets. I figure this is partly because Harbaugh showed what could be done with a QB with passing skills, and that combined with that being the direction the world was moving anyway, convinced Bo's successors to go find strong-armed QBs. Thus, Grbac, Navarre, Henne, etc. Bo's offense would've had little use for John Navarre; RR would never have recruited him. [Title]

But they don't bring anything and they mess up the symmetry and if you think Rutgers is worthy of being in the Big Ten then why not dozens of other programs? Besides, neat as Pluto looks, there are some moons in this solar system that look way cooler. If that's the only criterion I propose Callisto as a planet.

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Let's be clear: The new Wings arena isn't being financed with public money in the same sense these other stadiums generally are. I outlined this in another thread, but the "public portion" of the Wings arena is Downtown Development Authority money. DDA money is required by state law to be spent on economic development downtown. The DDA is financed by property taxes - but only that portion of property tax above the property's assessment prior to inclusion in the DDA. In other words, a parcel's taxable value before inclusion was X, when it was included it became X+Y, and Y is taken by the DDA to support downtown economic development - which again, by state law, is the only allowable purpose. X continues to go to the city for police and streetlights and whatever. This is why the DDA is called quasi-public. It's basically a homeowner's association for downtown businesses. And the DDA, by the way, will own the arena. This is a far cry different from the usual public funding mechanisms. The DDA exists precisely to fund things like this. And Oliver is not being honest by not noting the difference. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Frankly, in the case of this project, people who hate public funding of stadiums should be cheering the new Wings arena up and down the block. The bonds issued to pay for this thing are being paid back by the Ilitches and the DDA - NOT "Detroit taxpayers" which seems to be what fronts all the headlines. The Downtown Development Authority is more akin to a homeowners' association than anything, except its members are downtown businesses, and it's them who will pick up half the tab. It is most emphatically not being paid for by city residents. The DDA is funded by property taxes paid by downtown businesses, but only that portion of property tax above and beyond the value that the property would be assessed at if it wasn't in the DDA. And since state law requires that money go to economic development in the area, the arena is a more than logical use of the funds. Oh, and the DDA will own the arena, not the Ilitches. [Title]

Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Body] You just manipulated every single fact to your liking. Hoke does not have control over a player being medically cleared to play. If they said he could play, it would be odd for Hoke to be criticized for having a different opinion. Hoke is not a doctor. There is no evidence that Hoke had any knowledge of a head injury. There's no reason to think he would have. What evidence do you have that Hoke had any idea that Morris may have been concussed? None. That's a fact. We're all replaying GIFs left and right to try and prove that Hoke should have known. That proves nothing. It's easy to watch a highlight 50 times from 6 different camera angles and then watch the players get addressed on the sidelines from numerous camera angles and assume that the coach should know more than the fan watching at home. In reality though, that makes no sense. He was coaching a football game. He wasn't performing a concussion test on the sideline. If his medical staff also wasn't, then how is that on Hoke? You and everybody else on here have attacked the man's integrity for no reason other than he didn't have all of the information at his disposal at one moment within a football game. Get over it. I wanted Morris pulled and Hoke fired well before any of that happened. The fact that it did happen doesn't make Hoke a bad guy, he's just a bad coach who got caught in an awful moment at just the right time for a media firestorm. Nothing more. [Title]

Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Sorry, I'm sure I'm in the minority, but this post is an embarrassment to this site. It pretty much implies several things that are not true by relying on tweets of media members who have taken every statement entirely out of context. This is easy to prove. I expect better than this. This whole thing is just Gibbons all over again. Laying in on a guy based on things totally out of his control, and then blaming him for not being in control of the situation he had no way to know he had to control. It's just dumb. Brady Hoke didn't knowingly play a concussed player. Why would anybody think he would? I'm embarrassed for you if you think anything about this was intentional or unethical. Seriously, spend 5 minutes thinking about the facts and realize this was nothing more thanan unfortunate and unpredictable set of circumstances. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Body] This wouldn't make me angry if it weren't for the fact that I have literally never read a single quote from any of our coaches that disparaged a single player in an improper way. I have also never seen a single one of our coaches use an excuse that didn't relate to the youth on our team, and even when they say that they say it's no excuse and they have to get the players they have ready. Even using that excuse, I've never seen them blame a single loss on any mistake of any player. EVER. Seriously, listening to this guy is like listening to a politician who just lies without regret because he knows his supporters will blindly believe it, and then get away with it no matter how false he is proven to be. Sad thing about society today - facts don't matter, which bubble you live in does... [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 12 weeks ago [Body] How do I know that this probably is some ridiculous haphazard standard that should not be applied to these situations? Well, prior to being mandated to change the standard, nearly every single University that investigated and punished students for sexual assault used the highest possible standard of proof, and this was almost always a departure from the standard of proof required for lesser offenses. The fact that nearly every independent vote of people closer to the actual situations resulted in a different outcome than the federally mandated rule leads me to believe that the people best suited for deciding this disagree with the federal government on this one. Secondly, I fully understand the burden of proof in a civil trial. However, as pointed out above, the rules of evidence and procedures used in a civil trial are so far removed from that of the type of hearings we're discussing that comparing them seems pointless. For instance, it costs A LOT of time and money to sue somebody. You also usually only do it if the responsible party has money to win. You also have to factor in attorney fees, time, travel, the duration of the proceedings, etc. On the other hand, an alleged victim in one of these cases risks essentially nothing. It's a relatively short process. The alleged victim's name never gets out. She doesn't have to pay for anything, per se. I mean, it doesn't someone anything to make a false allegation it would seem. I'm sorry, I just find this crazy and ridiculous, personally. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 12 weeks ago [Body] I really couldn't disagree much more. It honestly doesn't matter to me what happens when a student cheats or is caught drinking in his dorm room. I don't care what standard of proof they use for these types of transgressions. They really are nothing like a sexual assault allegation. I keep posing this hypothetical and not a single person has ever responded. What would you think if the following occurred: Your son is dating a girl and has what he believes is consensual sex with the girl. Later, he finds out that she claimed it was not consensual, and he is under investigation. Being that he's honest, he admits to having intercourse with the girl because that is in fact what happened. There is no other credible evidence. It's his word against hers seeing as to how he admitted to having sex. Because of the circumstances and the preponderance of the evidence standard, your son faces a 50/50 chance of expulsion depending on how truthful he and the girl are determined to be. Would you want those odds for your son for something he swears he didn't do? I wouldn't. Sexual assault is simply not something a university can investigate. It also potentially forces the defendant to have to put statements on the record to defend himself, which could kill his case in a criminal trial. Doesn't really leave many options for the men accused of these assaults. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Body] "Emmert just said athletes shouldn't be able to capitalize on their own likenesses because of "competitive fairness." Yes. He really did." Ummmm, isn't he 100% right? If you allowed players to capitalize off of their likeness without restriction, then the entire college system would instantly be dead, and I mean DEAD. This seems pretty obvious. I know everybody likes to cry about a Minnesota wrestler or whatever not being allowed to pursue a music career, but in reality the problem stems from the fact that the second a star recruit steps foot on campus his likeness becomes worth whatever a booster wants to pay for it. Hey booster, wanna a photo of me for $1000? Why of course, young strapping man, that seems like fair market value for a photo of a guy who hasn't played a down of college football. How would you ever regulate that without just imposing the same types of restrictions? Honestly, I think bringing this up as if it is some kind of dumb argument from the NCAA reflects more poorly on the person calling it a poor argument than the person making the argument, in my opinion. If you think the whole system should be blown up, then I understand, but to act like this isn't a good argument is truly bizarre unless taken out of context entirely, as you and the original tweet managed to do.

Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] Where exactly are you going with any of your arguments? Nothing you have said has been remotely related to reality. Please answer these questions. If you and another girl were both drunk, had what you believed to be consensual sex, and then to your surprise she accuses you of rape the next day, would you want your fate as a U of M student to be determined by a hearing where the only evidence is your word against hers, essentially? I'm not saying these are the exact facts of the Gibbons case, but seriously, think of what a terrible way to determine something so important. You seem to be downplaying being expelled from a major University like it's a traffic ticket. What world do you live in where a google search of a guy's name bringing up hundreds of articles claiming he may have raped somebody wouldn't harm his prospects of getting a job? Seriously, is it worth arguing this? [Title]
