Output: the power-5 requirement is new. Though I guess you could always just schedule the weakest power-5 team possible and call it good. But everyone can't schedule Kansas.


Input: [Date] 3 days 2 hours ago [Title] No offense [Body]

Output: But the odds of any prospect turning into Cabrera are about zero. Guys like him cone around about once every 10 years.


Input: [Date] 3 days 7 hours ago [Title] That is standard [Body]

Output: Hosting meetings between about 10-4PM in the tech industry is pretty standard. People work flex hours and 10-4 is pretty much the "core' hours of the day. Some people work early, some work late, but everyone is requried to be around 10-4. That isn't some failure in culture. That's just how tech works. Microsoft is hardly alone in that kind of environment.


Input: [Date] 3 days 8 hours ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: BMW's are successful pretty much just due to marketing. They really aren't any better than any other car. I had a boss that had a BMW. Most of the time we spent together was me driving him to and from his dealership because his car was broken down.

Output: C'mon, that's a bit odd for 2015.


Input: [Date] 4 days 2 hours ago [Title] Not really fair [Body]

Output: In 1983, Free Agency was still pretty much non-existent and teams colluded to make sure players didn't ever move. Remember Parrish eventually won a major collusion lawsuit after he left in free-agency in the mid 80's. You man not like free-agency, but players deserve to get what the market will pay them. They shouldn't just be stuck on one team like indentured servents their entire career. There are still ways to keep players long term (see Verlander and Cabrera) you just have to pay.


Input: [Date] 4 days 10 hours ago [Title] I agree with those [Body]

Output: that say we should just not retire numbers. Put up statues, shrines, ring of honor whatever. But in football there are just not enough numbers as there is to take many out of circulation. You can get away with it in other sports because there are way more numbers than players on the team. Not in football. IMO find some other way to honor the players.

Input: [Date] 4 days 11 hours ago [Title] Why [Body]

Output: Why would anyone put their faith in Roger f'ing Goodell?


Input: [Date] 4 days 11 hours ago [Title] You're exactly right [Body]

Output: All the braying jackasses with the "he destroyed his phone, he must be guilty!" line are numbskulls. If the cops show up at your house and say "we think you are plotting to kill give us your phone, do you give it to them without a warrant? F*** no! And if you were to then destroy the phone are you guilty of ANYTHING? Double F*** no! Goodell has NOTHING. NOTHING. He has not one piece of evidence that Brady did anything wrong. So he's grasping at straws to attempt to try Brady in the court of public opinion. And because people tend to be dumb, it may work, though it has blown up in his face when he has tried it before. Look, Brady may or may not have done something. And his phone may or may not have had any incriminating info on it. Standard procedure for a broken phone is to destroy it. Brady says his phone was broken. Is that true? He testified under oath, so he probably said so under oath right? This entire incident wouldn't have happened if the NFL had ever actually been serious about the air pressure in the balls to begin with. But they never were, as evidenced by the ridiculously broken gauges that were being used to measure the game balls. If the "official" gauges were so broken that the readings were worthless to begin with, then WTF is this entire fight over? Oh yeah, the fact that Goodell's ego is bigger than his brain.


Input: [Date] 4 days 21 hours ago [Title] Disagree [Body]

Output: Goodell is the kind of egomaniacal stupid that NEVER really learns from mistakes. He just keeps trying different variations of the same failed strategies and is stunned every time when they blow up in his face. Everytime Goodell isn't allowed to just be a dictator, he loses badly.

Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] To be fair to Kawakami [Body]

Output: The idea that Harbaugh would get forced out of SF and leave the NFL after all the success he had with the Niners DID seem completely ridiculous when this whole thing started. I don't think anyone had a sense yet of just how much of an idiot Jed York is.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] Um how is it taking it out of context? [Body]

Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] Not AP. Bountygate. [Body]

Output: Goodell lost badly on his Bountygate suspensions in court. I think almost all of them were overturned. And they had actual evidence of wrongdoing in Bountygate.


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] Even ignoring the ideal gas law [Body]

Output: The fact that the NFL was using 2 entirely uncalibrated gauges that differed by about a half PSI and that the officials have no idea which gauge was used at what time to measure which ball means the entire Well's report is a bunch of meaningless gibberish. If you don't have reliable instruments to measure the PSI of the balls (and if fact actually KNOW your gauges are very WRONG) you can't make ANY conclusions at all, except that maybe no one really cared that much about football inflation.


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] Dunno how this will turn out [Body]

Output: Here's my take Brady has Goodell's balls in a vice. The Well's report was a pile of utter crap that will be blown out of the water in an actual court of law. For Goddell to use that as a basis for the huge punishments he metered out was idiocy that only a incompetent moron like Goodell would do. Brady's legal team knows they will probably win if this thing goes to a real trial in an actual court. Brady has enough money and has won enough Super Bowls that he is willing to say to Goodell that if he wants to keep the punishment in place that he is bringing down not only a full lawsuit to challenge the suspension but a massive countersuit for tens of millions of dollars in damages to his "brand" for slander and defamation. If Goodell wasn't an idiot, he would figure out some way to settle this. But idiots don't generally like to have it pointed out to them that their balls are in a vice. So Goodell may fight this one to the bitter end just because he can't stand to admit that he f***ed up so badly. On the other hand, Goodell got crushed so completely and looked so inept when the Bountygate stuff all went to trial that perhaps he has been kicked in the balls hard enough already to remember what it felt like. So if he learned anything from Bountygate, he will settle this thing. I honestly want it to go to trial, just because I like seeing the inept fool Goodell humiliated as much as possible. But it would probably be better for everyone, including Brady, to just get the damn thing over with.

Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] Are you nuts? [Body]

Output: You couldn't give Justin Verlander away right now. With his contract, he is 100% untradable. There isn't a single team in MLB that would take him. He may currently have the worst contract in all of baseball. He's essentially the quality of a random guy out of AA getting paid something like $20 million a year.

Output: I've mentioned this in a few responses in this thread, but the Kingdome was just awful for baseball. Huge ugly cement monstrosity. Looked like a giant cement Big Mac. To make matters worse the MGoBlog Color Brigade would have had seizures with the color pallete inside there. During one game where the Tigers were blowing the Mariners out, I started counting all the different shades of blue they used inside the Kingdome. I think I gave up around 12. Clearly no one had properly defined "Mariner Blue" yet.

I can see in front of me but my peripheral vision is not there (6 degrees of central vision left). I fancy that this would be an option for me, but realize that in certain situations this might actually require you to be able to drive and carry a valid license. I open this to the board knowing that your honesty will be valued, and I won't be butthurt if you give me your honest opinion.

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Eh. Probably not the worst [Body]

Output: Eh. Probably not the worst argument, but right up there with some of them. The thing that is missing in his/her argument is that there should be some consideration for Pete Carroll's decision based on his current position. If you consider what Pete Carroll might know, determine that he might have drafted another at that pick that was a better fit, then make a logical argument as to why, then that really is the point of a message board, no? All that was really said was that Frank Clark was drafted too high - which does not consider the things that Seattle might be dealing with in this draft or in the near future. Example of that being Indianapolis - they picked a wide receiver in the first round after signing Andre Johnson. Also have TY Hilton on the roster. Reason being that Andrew Luck is up soon for a massive contract, as well as Hilton up for a decent pay increase, and Johnson is a short term sign. It makes sense if you look at the overall team future, but the immediate reaction is to wonder why they picked a WR.

Output: RR ended up being a historically terrible hire for all parties involved. Rich Rod is a good coach who made some bad decisions. Michigan is a great program who mailed in their support. Throw in the attrition from switching systems, a media feeding frenzy, some losing records, zero patience from the fans, an AD being hired who was a waste of good sperm, and it equals shitshow we all bore witness to.

Output: I vaguely remember him being compared to Megatron in preseason. Those comparisons were based on his 40 time being sub 4.4. I sadly bought into the hype (not thinking he'd actually be Megatron) and thought he'd have a great year. He turned out to be used a lot on slants where he all too often would drop the ball. His give-a-shit level of desire to win turned out to be pretty low. Maybe with some good coaching he can find a utility role in the NFL. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Input: [Date] 23 weeks 3 days ago [Title] There was an interesting [Body]

Output: There was an interesting social experiment done on the sidewalks in a large city. Basically there were two actors, one male and one female, that simulated two events. The first event was that the guy started shoving the woman around and yelling at her. The response was so overwhelming from the males around the two people the safety of the male actor was close to being at risk. Males responded immediately to the female being shoved and a couple of the males responding looked ready to strike the male actor. The male actor had to point out repeatedly that this was an experiment and was pointing to the hidden cameras. One male that responded to the shoving continued to argue and point at the actor - stating that he didn't care if it was an experiment that you never do that to a woman. The second event was that the female actress started to shove and slap the male actor and yell at him. The response was quite different from the previous event. People were laughing and continued on their way. One male even joined in with the actress and slapped the male actor on the head. People typically looked, laughed, and kept about their business. It was an interesting thought piece that spoke about how we as a culture do not have one view of violence. Violence against another person should never take place. I hope that Frank can continue with counseling to find out why he responds the way he does, and fix that part of his behavior. From the post below, it looks like he has been going to counseling. The events of that night when detailed with the police report of things like Bando mentioned (kids running down the hall screaming he's killing her) it just gives me chills.

Input: [Date] 24 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Taking out AQ High Point 16-14 [Body]

Output: The teams with the worst records in last year's NIT were 17-15 West Virginia and 17-14 Georgetown. Currently Michigan is 13-11 with 6 games remaining. So 2-4 puts us at 15-15 for the season and then factoring in the B1G tournament, a 2-1 record would put us right at the threshold for the NIT. The biggest push at that point would be a quality win over an Ohio State or Maryland; making us a 17-16 team still not likely to get an NIT invite. 3+ wins is probably pretty close to what it would take if we go 2-4 the rest of the B1G season.

Input: [Date] 39 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] This is a very good point, [Body]

Output: This is a very good point, but I think it also gets at the basis of the problem here. The Athletic Department did Yeoman service for the Mealer family, which is fine, and if that's why Elliot Mealer feels obliged to carry their water, that's understandable. Butr it misses ehy this whole "muggle"/"civilian" issue matters. There shouldn't BE a bunker mentality about this. The Athletic Department shouldn't be seen is seperate from the fans/alumni/students, because it all falls under the same institution. All these groups are extensions of the same entity, which is the University of Michigan. The relationship is meant to be symbiotic: without the fans there can be no team, and no AD to take care of them. If you start to see teh fans relationship to the team as parasitic, and seperate from what the AD does, you're not seeing the forest for the eco-system. I mean, if you want to see the players, the fans and the AD as soldiers, civilians and state department fine, but in that metaphor, we're still one nation. Can you imagine the metaphor if soldiers started to see themselves as so removed from civilian affairs that they constituted a different species? Chilling.

Input: [Date] 41 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Negatory, sir. Pitt's OLine [Body]

Output: Negatory, sir. Pitt's OLine was also stripped of talent and experience when Chryst took over, and its last two recruiting classes were decimated by no less than three coaching changes. Chryst essentially inherited a program on the brink and cobbled together some success. I wrote a longer post about this further below.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Some Context on Chryst [Body]

Output: I talked about Todd Graham to add a "boots on the ground" context, so I might as well chime in on the subject of Chryst. While Chryst hasn't had a lot of success at Pitt on paper, there are some things that should be noted. First, most importantly, don't underestimate what a trainwreck Pitt was when he took the helm. The Panthers managed to burn through three head coaches in two years, not counting interim head coaches, complete with two scandals. Two successive recruiting classes fell apart, and they went from pro to spread to pro in three successive seasons. They had much the same problems with youth and depth on their lines, and an underwhelming picture at QB. Chryst exacerbated this by running a clean ship and getting rid of problematic student athletes, like 5* Rushel Shell, further limiting his talent pool. Chryst is a first time HC, and the warts are there. Particularly, his cloack management has been poor, and some rushed decisions at critical times are noted; that could be the result of inexperience, but it alsio seems to be a running theme with pro-style coaches. That said, Chryst has shown some real upside, and I've often used it to highlight Hoke's flaws. He recruits well, he's been getting some big name kids to stay home, and whateeeever else you want to say, Chryst can identify and develop talent. He saw Tyler Boyd, whose third to choice after Pitt and WVU was Michigan State pretty much by default, and saw talent; Michigan can't offer everyone, obviously, but Pitt fans were aware of what a talent this kid was supposed to be and what a big target he was for them, and he wasn't on Michigan's radar. Sure enough, he'll probably be in the pros after next year. More notable, I think, is James Connor. Connor was a non-descript, 3* DE in his last year of HS. He committed to Pitt, and suddenly it was declared they wanted him to be a running back. Pitt fans shrugged. Yet Connor became, from his first year, a better RB than Michigan has had since Mike Hart, and with an equally talent and experience-denuded OL. I look at him with some whimsy as he does all the things I know RBs are supposed to do, like break tackles, burst through holes and drag piles, make yards after contact. Michigan wouldn't have recruited Connor anyway, because the kid had grade problems in HS, but that's not really the issue. Chryst looked at a no-name DE and saw potential, and then quickly realized that potential into performance, which are skills Hoke has lacked. He can develop QB talent too, for what it's worth. He got Savage drafted, and that was not seen as a likely feat when he took over. People in Pittsburgh see his work with Savage as a continuation of what he did with Russell Wilson. Boyd, Savage and Connor are anecodtal examples, I know, but I hold them out as examples of what Chryst does right. He took a program that was worse off than I think anyone unfamiliar with the program realizes, and has largely stabalized it. I tend to think given two more years the Panthers will be doing well enough that Chryst will be a much hotter commodity, which is, all-in-all, not a bad trajectory for a first HC job. At Michigan? Well, he's obviously a gamble, but I think there are riskier gambles out there that are being talked about. I think more highly of the job he's done at Pitt in three years than the job Hoke has done here in four, especially given the disparity of experience, resources and prestige.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I don't disagree in any [Body]

Output: I don't disagree in any particular. I think, though, that the difference between Graham and the other coaches you listed is slightly more than an issue of bad etiquette in the manner of his departure. That is to say, nobody blames a coach for moving up the ladder as a buisness decision (or at least, not too loud or for too long). I think the difference is, it's expected a coach on the rise leaves the program in better condition than when he inherited it. Most of the coaches you listed remained for multiple years, or in Brian Kelly's case, which is illuminating, for three, which is ample time to make your bones and to improve the school's situation for the next guy. The difference between one year and three can be dramatic, but I'm not trying to make that case, per se. Obviously Rice was better off, in a sense, than when he first came there. Pitt, on the other hand, actually suffered from his year-long tenure. And that, I think, is more the issue. I think I made the comparison to Chryst, somewhere in all this, who had the opportunity to leave and did not. At a minimu, whether it was the focus of his decision or not, he had to be aware that if HE left after a year, he would be the fourth Panthers coach to depart (willingly or not) in a three year span, and a program already on the brink would probably have collapsed in a fairly definitive manner. I think the fact that he remained reflects well on him, and he has done a great deal to restore the Panthers roster and on-the-field product to, if not exactly the heights of football, then at least out of the gutter.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I believe he was at Tulsa [Body]

Output: I believe he was at Tulsa longer, but he was certainly one-and-done at Rice and Pitt. His departure from Pitt was used against him in recruiting with some success at ASU, at least initially, although I assume his extending tenure and winning ways will have silenced most of that. Of course, the more he moves around, the more some of that negativity will resurface.

Output: I wouldn't contest that, but as a counter argument, it is believed (at least by the locals) that Paul Chryst received inquiries about the Wisconsin job after his first year and had the opportunity to take it. With that in mind, Pitt fans were resigned, and couldn't really fault him (being a Madison local/lifer). The story has it he stayed because he understood Pitt would completely unravel if he lleft, and he felt an obligation to build up the program before he moved on and upwards. Not groundbreaking stuff, again, just context. I do think most coaches feel an obligation to stay in a program for longer than a year. I don't even think Graham was much of a cultural fit, so perhaps it was for the best. I would draw a distinction between Hoke taking a job he was clear from the onset that he always wanted and would take and Graham, though, largely for the other, oh, we'll call them flourishes.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I'll add this too, but just [Body]

Output: I'll add this too, but just for context: he did face some of the same problems Rich Rod did trying to take the Panthers from a pro team to a spread team, including the tempo-fatigue we became familiar with. The pro-style linemen he inherited would wear down under the fast tempo, and their play would unravel in the latter stages of the game. Much the same with the defense, if the the offense couldn't remain on the field. Naturally, that's a self-correcting problem over time: the players become more accustomed to the tempo as time goes by, especially as new recruits selected for the system come up. It didn't make for a pretty sight over the course of one season, though, especially given how it ended.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 5 days ago [Title] He's a Texas native, who [Body]

Output: He's a Texas native, who seems most at home coaching and recruiting in that region, so you may be right. On the other hand, never underestimate a freebooting mentality. He might come to Michigan if the price is right, and to climb the ladder of school prestige. In that regard, though, he would be a flight risk as soon as a better, or perhaps even equitable, job opened down south.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I was in Pittsburgh the year [Body]

Output: I was in Pittsburgh the year Todd Graham (now known in the Steel City as "Fraud Graham") coached the Panthers and fled. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to reject the guy without delving into stereotypes of accent and religion. It wasn't just that he pulled a one-and-done in Pittsburgh, he lied to everyone, including administrators, players and recruits, along the way, and wrapped it up by leaving the AD standing on his doorstep when rumors made their way into the news and questions required answers. Then he texted the team a quicck goodbye on his way to Arizona. Once at ASU, he gave what was essentially the same speech he gave when he got to Pittsburgh, a great to do about the school being a dream job, integrity, yadda yadda. Maybe not as well known in Michigan, but go to a Pitt fansite and ask them their opinions about Graham. I guarantee you, faith and folksy mannerisms will not be in the top ten list of negative things you hear.

Output: Sugar Bowl and the '99-'00 Orange Bowl (Hail Brady!). So there's two off the top of my head...


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] Being a true freshman QB is a [Body]

Output: Being a true freshman QB is a lot less of aproblem when you are A.) An elite talent, B.) throwing to an elite WR, and C.) Facing a team with no pass rush. Right now that's check, check and check. Which in not to say that we WILL need him at PSU, but on the road, in a very hostile environment, we may. But your statement was broader than that, and if you don't think we'll need him against MSU, or maybe even to generate some pass rush against pass-happy Indiana, I don't know what to say.

Output: That's, like, your opinion, man.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] It's purely anecdotal, so [Body]

Output: It's purely anecdotal, so take it for what it's worth, but in a similar situation I've seen a similar move produce positive results. In Wannestedt's last year, the O-Line was thin, the center an undersized JUCO. The Panther's got off to a woeful start, couldn't move the ball against lowly New Hampshire, got trampled and embarassed on national TV by Miami. They reshufled the O-Line and had a substantial increase in tehri play. They wound up with a respectable(ish) 8-5 record, which they likely would not have had if they stuck to the original configuration for consistency sake. As I said, it's anecdotal, but it impressed upon me that O-Line, like everything else, must be subject to change, and that change may potentially yield positive results.

Output: It's actually a surprisingly well written story. Now, the key is it may not be a very entertaining story. But the underlying metaphor is very well crafted. In an age of movies without any form of plot or structure, I appreciate the competence of the storytelling as much as the homesickness inducing tour of A2.

Output: This is true but you have to factor in how much contact was kept, if he feels as wanted now. You also have to wonder how much of an impression MSU has made on him. Won't be easy to get him back on our side but like you said there is still a chance.

Output: I know he is a part time player which I why I said he hasnt played since middle school and had my second paragraph about having a better QB this year alowing him to show off a little better. The thing that does not show is he was bothered by a knee injury most of the football season which I why I said he has better speed than you realize, but he has gotten no real coaching in Football and has used pretty much all resources to basketball. All indications from his dad is he will be sticking to Basketball, but like I said if he wants to stick with football he will be a top level recruit.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Whats funny is as good as i [Body]

Output: Whats funny is as good as i think he will prove to be in Football I would LOVE for him to go play basketball at Michigan more than Football. He has that It factor the team has not been this good is Harry Douglas and Toney Douglas played here. Has lead the team to two state championships on his first two years and a 68-7 Overall record during that time. Only loss this year being to Monteverde (at their gym). Kid is Special in the gym.

Output: This is right up my alley. I went to JONESBORO high and go to all of their games and I can tell you he is a monster at basketball he is an amazing athlete and you will see that, he has better speed than Magnus thinks. Me and his dad are cool and he will be sticking with Basketball but he has all the ability to play football if thats what he wanted to do. I also expect him to blowup on the football trail because the starting QB (Zerrick Cooper 4 star QB going to Clemson) was out the entire year and this was MJ's first year playing football since middle school. Just watch out for him. I have a ton of info on this kid.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Have seen him play live, and [Body]

Output: Have seen him play live, and he would be a perfect fit for us. The thing that does not come across on the tape is how terrible his team is, he was also a great teammate constanly coaching up and encouraging his team. His ability to get to the rim is good and his shot looks good, and he goes full speed all the time. Would love to get him.

Jed York and Trent Baalke wanted no part of Harbaugh after Sunday, and undercut him all season, but now, because he’s leaving on his own to go to college… instead of firing him the 49ers… Don’t have to pay Harbaugh the $5M he has left on his contract or even worry about trying to trade him; Won’t see him in the NFL–and especially the Raiders–for at least a few years; Can even spin it that they wanted to keep him but he left them for a monster deal from his alma mater." Yeah, who wouldn't believe that? [Title]

I had plenty of friends who went and plenty who didn't, and to be honest, the ones that did really don't think too much of it now (5 years later). I think it may be that proms are just not as big of a deal as they were for the older generations. On the other hand, if you think you can get laid then go for it! [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Title] You know, analysts have a lot [Body]

Output: You know, analysts have a lot to knock on his game despite his #1 ranking. They knock on his inconsistent and lack of confidence in his coverage skills and his utter lack of aggression for contact and poor tackling skills. Maybe it's because he's been looked at so extensively but I've never seen a top ten recruit with so much knocking on him.


Input: [Date] 3 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Playin Hard [Body]

Output: So far the American Samoa team has been playing very hard and fast and has kept it as competitive as possible. 20-6 at the half. They're fearless against the US. It's moreso technique where they're getting beat. They are smaller and are less athletically inclined but they're truly not playing like it. The U.S. took the first kick back for a TD, and it wasn't because they were outdone. It was blown assignments and a gaping hole in the middle. Penalties is another reason why theyre behind. Otherwise they've been playing just as hard and they pursue on defense. Their RB is a tough north-south runner thats putting the US defense on their butts every now and again. Having said that. LTT is playing very, very well. He's already had a few pancakes and is doing phenomenal on pass pro. I'd say he's been doing better than Pocic and Biven. He's consistently sealing off and the RB has got major yards behind him. I can see why he struggled in camp, he's purely a pads player. He doesn't use his hands as much as he uses his athleticism to get in to place and then just lays his entire frame on you until you cant move around him. He'll have to use his hands more on the next level, but he'll be ok with that. His potential is on full display here.


Input: [Date] 3 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Before you pass judgement [Body]

Output: Before you pass judgement look up his film. This kid is a rare talent and is physically ready. Only way to go is up for this kid. I for one am glad we got on him early. He's a lifelong Michigan fan who idolizes Mike hart. No reason to not try and land a probable future 5 star early on.


Input: [Date] 3 years 5 weeks ago [Title] I havent seen him play, but I [Body]

Output: I havent seen him play, but I can't imagine him being "not very good". The kid won state as a freshman, and everything I read made it seem as if the offense rested on his shoulders. RJS never seemed to put up big numbers on the ground so I can see the truth in that. If he can champion a state title team as a frosh then he's good enoug for me ( like that matters ). I'm just sayin, what a foundation to build upon with 3 more seasons to build upon. I hope will her keeps grooming this kid because he could be an top tier 5 star recruit by his sr year. An Alabama offer already? Home should offer just based on principle. Cass should get the title again easily. The team is more diverse talent/position wise this year. How crazy would it be if LTT had been able to transfer.


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Ouch [Body]

Output: Ouch. The harsh truth.


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Good guess [Body]

Output: This is a good guess. I didn't even think of him. He did say he couldn't commit until hes a junior. Technically, schools over for the year and he completed the year so now he's considered a junior as far as the public school system is concerned.


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Are you kidding [Body]

Output: Why do people think he's just kidding whenever he says this? It's stupid. The last two times he said this people said the same thing and BOOM there were actual commits. He nor none of the other recruits have ever joked about there being a impending commitment. That's not even a funny joke, wheres the humor in that? Who's the joke upon? Recruits have been wrong but at least we've always known that they were based in reality. Of a commit has ever joked about this please prove me wrong.


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Unlikely [Body]

Output: That seems a little unlikely. We haven't had many recruits just mess with the fan base, if at all. We've only see them think they have a commit and the pull a Garnett

Output: It only makes sense that itd be Treadwell or Poggi. Anyone else would be kind of out of nowhere


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Title] They should [Body]

Output: It should be about the local jurisdiction and what the punishment is their. Pot is noo big deal. I'd rather have my players in their dorms smoking J's and eating brownies while playing madden and ordering pizza on a saturday night than out binge drinking. As we've seen (with Big Will etc.) alcohol and minors lead to bad things. I'm especially a personal advocate of mixing the two. It seems to keep one from going overboard on the drunkeness and keeps you from raging and getting in to trouble.


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Let's not get too cocky yet [Body]

Output: Lets not get too cocky. It's a long way till signing day. He could easily get a case of the "too far from homes" before putting pen to paper and end up at OSU or Illinois. Hell, maybe if we miss out on some "best availables we might end up flipping him with a last second effort. Who knows?


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Truly Despicable [Body]

Output: This is absolutely horrid. Woman like this are the reason that sex crimes are so difficult to deal with. What type of person puts a man through 6 years of prison and ruins his life just to avoid dealing with a bad sexual experience.


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Title] Very True [Body]

Output: Very true. I enjoyed the light-hearted yet spirited debate Magnus. Ur a classy guy. Some others on here should adopt your approach to disagreeing.


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Title] I can't speak to.... [Body]

Output: I can't speak to why his coach used him in a 4-3 vs a 3-4. I'll concede to you that it's puzzling and most coaches put their best 3 or 4 on the line at that level. If you look at his highlights I just don't see any glaring weaknesses, no more than any other WDE recruit. Basically from his film I can't see any reason they'd bench him. He looks good vs the run, and the pass of course. I guess that's for the coaches to know and us to find out.


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Title] I understand that [Body]

Output: I understand that point, however, the evidence points to him telling the truth of the matter. As I stated above, situational players/bench players don't amass 7 minutes of quality highlights in one season. If you can show me any other player who came off the bench and achieved that fete then I'll believe the rumors.


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Title] Additionally [Body]

Output: I know if I were a recruit, I'd be pissed if people (including my own fanbase) kept perpetuating misinformation about me and my abilities to see the field in High School.


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Title] Good point but.... [Body]

Output: Good point Mr. Magnus. However, it seems like you missed where i said that Taco himself and several other sources refute this point of him not being a "starter"


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Title] Tired of the non-starter talk [Body]

Output: I hate that people are still calling Taco "not a starter" last year. Its much more complicated than that to be honest. He himself on his own twitter refuted that claim a while ago. The whole Non-Starter thing is Ohio State BS that needs to stop over here. He complained about people saying that about him. Think about it. The kid is damn good. There's 4 guys on the D-Line. Pickerington is not exactly a powerhouse in Ohio and you really think there were 4 guys better than him? Hell no. If you don't believe me, go to the Ohio Recruiting site and check out his film. Its almost 7 mins long where he's defending against the run AND the pass. Do you really think a true non-starter could amass 7 minutes of highlights in one season of football?? He makes A LOT of plays throughout the film and isn't overly lacking in any part of his game, at least no more than any other recruit. The whole "non-starting" thing is a rumor gone amok, being perpetuated by Ohio. Pass it on


Input: [Date] 3 years 12 weeks ago [Title] The Diggs Collision [Body]

Output: Ever since the Army AA game I've been trying off and on to find some highlight tapes that show the Pipkins pursuit and immediate wreckage of Diggs. This article is the first I've seen photos of it, but I want video. Pipkins has like 0 film anywhere to be seen! How am I going to wait all the way till august to see him with my own eyes? If you know where I can see some AA highlights of him, especially "The Diggs Collision", itd be greatly appreciated

Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Title] Perspective [Body]

Output: Based on Aquamans comment, I think I'd rather have Ty wait it out. If he commits now, I could totally see him re-opening his recruiting down the line. Not because i think anything negative of him, but I just know that if he commits the other programs will probably come at him even harder knowing he was just caught up in the rapture of commitapalooza. This is one guy that I'd rather have take his time and truly feel good that Michigan is for him


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Cant Understand Twitter [Body]

Output: Can anyone simplify the twitter back-and-forth for me. I'm looking at this jumble of sh*t people call twitter and I cant understand how Farrell was put in his place and by whom. (I am 23 btw, is that sad?)


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

Output: I think the majority of the credit should go to David Brandon. Hoke has always been Brady Hoke, that's what we love about him now. He came in just being himself. Brandon is the one who had the vision of what we could and should be, and he hired the people and put the pieces in place that have led to this resurgance. Don't get me wrong, Hoke is the man. He deserves all the credit he deserves. You just have to remember that without David Brandon, there is no Brady Hoke. Brandon knew that Hoke was "the one" when the general opinion was that he would be a downgrade.


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] I'd Guess [Body]

Output: I'd Guess Either Isaac or Levenberry. Probably Isaac. From the tweet it seems like it's someone they're surprised is dropping right now. Gedeon and/or McCray were both to be expected.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 6 days ago [Body] In case you're serious it is possible to have hundreds of people on a teleconference call. I work for a global 100 company and every month we have a team call which consists of 700+ people. ATT is the host. [Title]

Input: [Date] 32 weeks 9 hours ago [Body] IMO we really do not know if there is a QB issue. It's apparent that the prior regime was unable to coach up any position and develop the talent that was recruited. Hopefully Harbaugh can step right in and get these men ready to compete in the Spring Game. Regardless we need these guys to step up and fill the position that has haunted us for several years. [Title]

Output: Lack of development is the issue not the QB

They open when I pull in and won't tow my car when I leave it overnight. [Title]

Output: I was told the golf course will...


Input: [Date] 3 years 49 weeks ago [Body] I foresee this becoming a messy situation. Creating new rules and guidlines and expecting 1/4 million people to follow is seting us up to fail. DB said that future night games would be scheduled based on "OUR" performance. Why not open at 9am so we can all find a place to park and head over to where Game Day is set-up. [Title]

Output: messy

Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Body] stubhub is cheaper than that site. Stub Hub only charges a 15% service fee whereas that site was charging 23% plus $15 for shipping versus $11.95 at stub hub. Don't get me wrong I can't stand stub hub but it is individual sellers that charge the prices not the site. [Title]

TD celebrations, especially in big games against big opponents (OSU et al) felt momentous in a way that marshmallows (and certainly pompoms) never really could. [Title]

I moved from Saline to Little Rock in '88, and got to experience Michigan fan-dom down south (in what used to be Southwest Conference territory) and found that all my high-school friends and folks who ended up going to Fayetteville for school tended to be good ol' fashion football fans, with a good dose of realism not unlike those of us who are long-term denizens of this blog... plus, if you go down there in a couple of years, you should really make it a point to enjoy the local grilling expertise, as these guys (and others like them) are quite skilled in the art of putting flesh on a grill and making it taste incredibly good: M(en) E(xcelling in the) A(rt of) Tailgaiting https://www.facebook.com/MEAT2002?fref=ts [Title]

If you can get out there, it would be great to visit Folly Beach (you can surf there, or just enjoy the sun and waves with a beverage or three), and I'd also recommend a visit to the SC Aquarium (http://scaquarium.org/), and Fort Sumter, of course, is good for dose of history. Have a great trip! [Title]

Output: yup...


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Body] When someone testifies or contributes to a police report after having directly witnessed an event, their testimony/statement is not "hearsay." That is direct witness testimony. [pulls out legal dictionary] "Hearsay Rule - a rule that declares not admissible as evidence any statement other than that by a witness while testifying at the hearing and offered into evidence to prove the truth of the matter stated. ...If, for example, a witness's statement as to what he heard another person say is elicited to prove the truth of what the other person said, it is hearsay;" #themoreyouknow [Title]

Output: just have to go on record here...


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I am appreciative of Ace's viewpoint as it places Clark's saga in the overall context of whether the response of the league or its teams and the attention they give to domestic violence after the Ray Rice investigation/suspension is credible or merely lip service. From my perspective, the Seattle Times piece and Ace's commentary here is a pretty clear indication that, at least in this instance, the team has bungled its handling of the issue in a way that calls into question (at a minimum) their ability to credibly state that they are approaching domestic violence issues with all appropriate attention & seriousness. what shows through in both pieces is that, in a day and age when archival footage, background checks, and in-depth character interviews are S.O.P. for high-level draft picks, the Seahawks did a cursory job, at best, in looking into a known domestic violence issue with one of the highest picks on its draft board. So not only is it an unnecessary PR disaster for all involved, it demonstrates that the domestic violence issue appears to be a low-level concern for one of the higher-profile teams in the league, even in the aftermath of Ray Rice; that, to me, is worthy of attention (assuming one is interested in reducing the number of incidents of domestic violence) [Title]

Output: respectfully disagree; imho that is entirely the issue

Hackett confirmed he had been in conversations with tournament organizers as recently as last week about using the Big House as a venue, but scheduling issues proved too difficult to overcome. “We wanted to make it happen,” Hackett said Wednesday night. Hackett cited a desire to have Michigan Stadium ready for the football team’s Sept. 12 home opener against Oregon State." http://www.michigandaily.com/sports/michigan-wolverines-big-house-international-champions-cup-soccer-2015-hackett [Title]

We've seen this "strong interest early - not commited (or decommited) but still interested - doesn't commit" situation with other top recruits in the past. Hope I'm wrong on this one. [Title]

Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] There comes a point where money isn't really a deciding factor... when you're already a millionaire, taking a job you don't want to go from rich to slightly more rich isn't appealing.

It implies that U of M fans who didn't go to Michigan are poor rednecks who couldn't possibly become anything like they're U of M attending bretheren. I know plenty of U of M grads who flamed out, and plenty of people from smaller schools that are rocking their lives so hard. 2. WHY I WOULD DESPISE YOU FOR LOVING THIS THING THAT I LOVE. It's easy to love U of M if you went there, but if something draws you to U of M fandom without attending U of M, your fandom actually impresses me a little more. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Body] I'm not sure what people's' perception of a film program are, but the SAC major at U of M was pretty demanding if you wanted to do well academically. You had to learn a huge scope of film history, internatioinal cinemas, techniques, theory, etc., and use a ton of critical thinking skill. We also had to write a ton of three page papers... Papers where you've written 5-6 pages, and it seems impossible to make your argument more succinct. I also did screenwriting, which double my workload. Anyway, not saying it's tough like engineering or something (cause it definitelty is not), but I could see it being tougher at times than the B school coursework (judging from my B school friends and working there as an undergrad). I imagine that at USC, which has a very respected film program, the requirements can be pretty tough. EDIT: Man, totally forgot about the screenings. Those killed your week. I had upwards of 9 hours of screenings a week at times. [Title]

I'm 25 and have been reading this blog since the beginning of undergrad. My perception is that little is stylistically different. Brian is still busting out constant, hilarious content. Citing one headline you don't understand as evidence of "numerous bizarre illusions" makes me want to punch you in the face is not evidence. If you want all your content delivered as flavorless mush because you lost your tastebuds years ago then go somewhere else. If you're so intellectually lazy and devoid of humor that jokes and illusions prohibit you from understanding the article then go somewhere else. The style of this blog is EVERYTHING and you are not allowed to groundlessly attack it. Your decreased consumption is a good thing. [Title]

I can't think of a song that has a more cheesy, nonsensical chorus in all of music. DISCLAIMER: I know none of the other words to this song. Maybe those other words explain the following questions. It breaks down like this: "For those about to rock" - nonsensical Poignant questions: What are people doing before they're about to rock? Are they doing something salute worthy? Is the act of about-to-rock more salute-worthy than the act of rock that is going to follow? Summary: WHY ARE WE SALUTING PEOPLE WHO ARE ABOUT TO ROCK BUT HAVEN'T ACTUALLY DONE ANYTHING YET? "We salute you" - cheesy (also nonsensical) Poignant questions: Why are we "saluting" those about to rock? When you honor a rock musician, do you salute them? Is this rock musician your WWII Veteran grandfather? Summary: Expressing honor for rock musicians by saluting them doesn't make any sense. That'd be like honoring Mother Theresa by punching her in the face. I WANT ANSWERS BRAAAAAAAA [Title]

Output: I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF SAID SALUTE


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Body] Nothing gets me more excited for Michigan football than digital engagement cycles. [Title]

Output: more please


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Totally forgot. My brain is at ease. [Title]

Output: Yes!


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Does that mean he doesn't like our chances with Diamond? [Title]

Output: Wait...


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Body] More towards Ace. Either way, I can't believe so many people jumped on my use of "we". It was more calling out the perception that it's ok to declare his commitment when he directly said he has not commited. [Title]

Output: ^ Yes


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Shouldn't we withhold the 'hello' post for now? [Title]

Output: Out of respect for the kid


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Body] His dinner's getting all cold and eaten... [Title]

Output: O_O


Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Body] I don't have any direct experience playing civ, but EU is really really in depth. If you like like civ i'd deifnitely check it out. Also, Hearts of Iron is a title from the same company that's a WWII strategy game. It's a lot of fun; it's actually what I played first. [Title]

Output: I don't have any direct


Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Yes; this is the only sports blog to ever mention Europa Universalis. It's also the first mass-audience anything to mention Europa Universalis. But dear god is that one of the best games ever created... if you're in to 2d graphics and running the government of a country over many centuries. I know that's not everybodies thing. [Title]

Output: EU2 <3


Input: [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Body] One more thing to add is that Catholic Central (and Godin) blew up Dearborn For(d)son. Typically being Dearborn's best team, it either means CC is that good or Dearborn football is not so good. Probably a lot of both. [Title]

Output: One more thing to add is that


Input: [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Body] Unexpected yet excellent news. It has to mean something (if only a little something). [Title]

Output: Unexpected yet excellent


Input: [Date] 3 years 49 weeks ago [Body] You're right; it was 2008! And if the space was so private, they would have just kicked me out. You can't honestly say that as an undergrad high off our only decent win of the year, hanging out on the field with a chance to check out the locker room, that you wouldn't do it. You'd stop and say, "NOPE! THAT'S PRIVATE!" and walk away. [Title]

Output: You're right; it was 2008!


Input: [Date] 3 years 49 weeks ago [Body] My favorite U of M football moment came at our darkest hour. After our improbable comback against Wisconsin in 2007, chants of "rush the field!" were being shouted all over the student section. Me and a buddy of mine got the front right as the final seconds ticked off, and when the game was sealed, people started hoping over the rail. The guy in front of me wouldn't go, and after some proding on my part, he finally jumped. And was immediately nabbed by a security guard. With the guard occupied, I jumped myself. "HEY YOU!" he shouted, and pointed at me. I ran towards the tunnel and hung out there for a second. After it was clear he lost track of me, I went to the corner of the field, where the team was celebrating near the student section. It was surreal. When they were done, I followed them into the tunnel. But instead of leaving, I followed them into the locker room. I had a student shirt on and clearly looked like I didn't belong, but nobody questioned me. I watched RichRod talk to the team after the game. Michael Phelps showed up briefly, said "hi" to a few players, and was about to leave the locker when I shoved my hand towards him and said "Michael Phelps!". He robotically shook my hand. My favorite part was when everybody got down on one knee for a prayer, something that was obviously routine to everyone in the room. Slowly and awkwardly, I got on one knee myself. I just looked so out of place, but nobody cared. Once RichRod was done talking, I conspiciously walked around with my flip phone out taking video of the locker room, took a gatorade out of the fridge, and hung for a bit. Then I left. And that's my story. [Title]

Output: Rushin the field is good times


Input: [Date] 3 years 49 weeks ago [Body] I know Brady Hoke because I am a U of M alumni, which allows me to go to Camp Michigania every year, where this year David Brandon gave a talk during the faculty forum about Michigan athletics, a talk which I saw and participated in, and this being the SAME David Brandon that hired Brady Hoke, through indirect and highly suspect means, I know Brady Hoke. He said everything is going to be ok. [Title]

Output: Indirect is the way to know!


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Body] I was so very, very confident this was an onion article. So very confident. [Title]

Output: I was so very, very confident


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Body] they're* [Title]

Output: they're*


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Body] Are we really going to insult the intelligence/preferences of a recruits mother? Recruits read these boards, remember? We have no idea what the Diamond family's decision process is or how mama Diamond's preferences will play into it. And if he does go blue, this kind of conversation sure is welcoming. [Title]

Output: really?


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Body] I haven't gotten them either [Title]

Output: I haven't gotten them either


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Body] Way to beat a dead horse people. Is anyone going to answer the question? [Title]

Output: No way man that sig is fun


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 weeks ago [Body] I've tended to think about our team of the future instead of the team we have now and DENARD DEANRD DEANRD! I lack focus. Or more accurately, we U of M fans have been spoiled with good news lately. [Title]

Output: With all the recruiting hype


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 weeks ago [Body] I don't get why he's a sailor [Title]

Output: huh?


Input: [Date] 4 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Could outrun cheetahs out of high school. I don't think Thompson has that size/speed combo. [Title]

Output: Calvin Johnson


Input: [Date] 4 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Still out at s. state... [Title]

Output: Sad face


Input: [Date] 4 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Are Clarett's escapades enough to be declared inelligble for 2002 (or did that already happen)? Along with any other potentially inelligble players could this mean a 2002 title strip? My brain likes to jump on any and all USC/OSU comparisons of this nature. I would appreaciate anybody with real information/understanding of the similarities to let me know. [Title]

Output: Clarett = Bush?


Input: [Date] 4 years 9 weeks ago [Body] It's T Pizzle. I'd like some money please. [Title]

Output: 5. ? 6. Profit


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Nyquist, too [Body]

Output: He's been quieter than I would like. I don't think he's been playing to his strengths this series. That might be a testament to how TB has defended him, but I wonder if he's been trying to do too much.
