In a game where Mattison's defense almost blew the game and Denard had a career day? I'm upset at Borges too but this is Michigan -- to say that we will "never beat OSU" with Hoke is inane [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Body] Uhm, the fact that we would be livid (or that you are livid) doesn't mean we/you are right. Yeah, I'd be pretty damn angry if this happened (we had a similar call this year against Iowa go against us) but that has zero bearing on the truth. Also I'm glad you took the time to come read the website of the "epitome of scum" and that you care so much what we think that you'd try to change our minds. Superlolz. Side note: am I the only person who thinks that Denard's "interception" on the second drive was a clear no-catch? The defender had even less posession than Coale did but they didn't overturn it...

Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] As a person from the state of Virginia, I can say that most people here who aren't Tech fans acknowledge Tech is an overrated program. I'm generally annoyed by Tech fans because they seem to be the state-wide bandwagon team, but this year I'm more annoyed by all of my friends at UVA who `are suddenly the world's greatest football fans because UVA is having a winning season (or I'm just bitter because they spanked my school...) Personally I don't think either of the two of us has a strong enough body of work to play in a BCS game, but it will still be entertaining to watch. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Body] I was accepted from out of state (VA), but so were all of the other people I know who applied. From what I'd heard we had a lot more students accepted from our high school than in previous years so I thought this year they might have slightly lowered their standards.

Input: [Date] 5 years 33 weeks ago [Body] This is a completely inaccurate representation of the trade. Granderson is a pretty good player defensively and offensively. He hit 30 home runs this year, and as a lefty in new Yankee Stadium with that shallow right field, he could hit like 35 next year. He does strike out a bit much, and his OBP could be better, but he draws a decent number of walks as it is. Hes a certain upgrade over Melky Cabrera or Brett Gardner, though he has trouble hitting lefties (well platoon him probably with those other two and a resigned Damon). Austin Jackson is not really our top overall prospect on offense. That would be future catcher/DH Jesus Montero. Jackson could end being fairly good, though. Problem is he strikes out a lot, and probably will never hit for as much power as Granderson does. If he progresses well in about 3-4 years he could be almost as good an outfielder defensively, and probably a slightly worse batter. Ian Kennedy is definitely not our top pitching prospect. That would be Joba Chamberlain or Phil Hughes. Kennedy is something like a AAA all star who cant seems to put it together in the pros. His location is good and could get even better, but his stuff just isnt that great speed wise. Yankees made a pretty good trade. They essentially swapped a good prospect for a player already in their prime who is probably better than that prospect ever will be anyway. They also had to let go of a decent pitching prospect, who probably wouldn't have ever seen meaningful time in the Bronx anyway. Detroit should be happy for Scherzer, hes pretty good; the best pitcher of all three involved. [Title]

Output: wow


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Im pretty sure each of those jerseys looks worse than its predecessor. They're too weird and try to hard to be some kind of advanced new age "not just a jersey, but a football skin." Most of them were hideous, and not a single one actually looked good. Moreover the narration describing each suit is simply laughable, overall really ludicrous stuff. The "titanium d ring" gets me every time. Im glad the NFL has realized the value in throwbacks. Just about each one used this season looks better than the franchises' current variations. Too bad college football programs don't take that route more often. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 51 weeks ago [Body] Big L is way under represented on this thread. Hands down, easily top 5 ever. Also Big Punisher should get some recognition. Fantastic ability probably top 12-15 all time. Jay-Z- better than Nas if only for quite possibly the greatet rap album ever, his debut, Reasonable Doubt. No Nas song can equal "Can I Live" or "D'Evils," or the versatility on "22 two's" and oozing flow on "Cashmere Thoughts." There isnt a week song on the album. His use of different rhyme schemes, the (PRIMO!) beats, and his flow are amazing. Biggie- as Jigga said if he aint the best hes the closest one. BIG is still unsurpassed in lyricism, flow, and rhyme. Easily better than Pac ever was, and its really impossible to name anyone that surpasses him. Big L- fantastic flow and lyricism, even beats out Jay-Z (before Jigga had come into his own) on the infamous freestyle. Problem hes not such a great story teller, his images are not as strong. For example, his most famous narrative attempt, "the heist," is fairly week. Wu Tang- as a group is unstoppable. 36 Chambers is one of the greatest rap albums ever, and thats ignoring the individual work. Outkast- fantastic funk, best Southern rap available Nas- amazing of course. As to the Jay-Z debate he has no one song or album that can equal Reasonable Doubt. His flow is choppier and less refined, as are his rhyme schemes. However, its really hard to beat his best stuff like the opening verse to N.Y. State of Mind. Eminem-for those of you who dont remember or appreciate the D-12 monster, this man used to be outstanding. Currently, for you Michigan kids Black Milk is worth checking out. Clipse, and the Re-Up Gang are a good listen. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 years 6 weeks ago [Body] Questions Ive been meaning to ask you Yankee fans on this site: what are your feelings on Nick Swisher? Could he be a "TRUE YANKEE," or is he just a welcome visitor? To what extent can you bring yourself to root for him? I like him. I think hes good for the team, the clubhouse, and the fans. However, I don't think I could bring myself to buy a Swisher jersey. His likability has some Ohio State caused limit for me, and I am reluctant to go be all out pro-Swisher. [Title]

Output: Swisher


Input: [Date] 6 years 6 weeks ago [Body] I was surprised about his WVU commit, but I think he's trying to hold a spot. I went to High School with Brunetti, and most students there are UT fans (I got so much shit in 2002, and on Woodson's Heisman over Peyton). The problem is that Kiffin hasn't offered him yet. Its highly likely that had he been offered, Brunetti would have committed. Brunetti doesn't have good grades, and often got himself into a little trouble with his lack of academic performance. Its a good high school, and the kid would do fine at UT, but maybe the grades scare some bigger offers away. Im surprised to see Gardner ranked lower than Brunetti. Brunetti's great, but I think Gardner is more athletic and a better future quarterback. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 years 7 weeks ago [Body] The 1999 Superbowl against the Rams truly defines a "game of inches" for me. I watched it as a kid, and yea I cried a little. I still get emotional every time I see the replay. As far as the Wolverines go, that Michigan-Texas Rose Bowl was great to watch. They sure could have used an inch on blocking that field goal. But how great was having all those USC fans feel the same thing the next year? That awful feeling of knowing something is coming but being unable to stop it. Coming full circle, I was thus pleased when the Titans picked Vince Young in the draft. Too bad he hasn't lived up to that Bowl game magic since. [Title]

Output: As a Titans fan


Input: [Date] 6 years 7 weeks ago [Body] GBMW is not good. However, it really isnt awful aside from the layout. My pet peeve is the ubiquitous e prefix. Is it ever necessary? Eblog, epinion, ebanter... its just redundant and annoying. Its a blog, which necessarily means its online. I get it. No need for the e. As with most sport blogs, when reading GBMW, I assume (despite all the NO SUGARCOAT claims of legitimacy and veracity) that GBMW isn't attempting some grand objective truth statement when they critique a players skills or athleticism and that their subjectivity is implied. But maybe in trading the "e" for the "o" they intend to change the meaning? The distinction being that "epinions" are presented anonymously by people hiding behind some internet moniker (eppellation, elias?) who substitute their edentity for their authoritative physical identity, face, and name? And these epinions are therefore secondary opinions attributable to a secondary self? Do they mean to imply a separation between the self and the e-double? Does their use of epinion subvert and transgress the very (ironically prideful?) legitimacy of their own no nonsense, NO SUGARCOAT critiques? Or is GBMW just written by ignorant ass clowns? [Title]

Output: just epinion


Input: [Date] 6 years 9 weeks ago [Body] Tottenham Hotspur has truly aggravating management and coaching. It is not really the best run team, but they have good character, history, and a chance to do well because the team really is good just not Champions League quality. Cool fact (if your a literature nerd): takes name from character of Hotspur, based on Sir Henry Percy, of Shakespeare's Henry IV. Arsenal is very good but they are perhaps the largest bandwagon team for any American newcomer to the EPL. They do very well, have an aggressive style, and are literally loaded with young talent (not just many of the best 18 year-olds, but many of the best 16 year-olds waiting behind them). They often lose their players to bigger clubs that can bid more, for example they're best player, Cesc Fabregeas, will probably leave soon. [Title]

Output: All good choices


Input: [Date] 6 years 9 weeks ago [Body] It was a great ball movement and teamwork on that final goal. I literally went nuts; it was the most exciting sports moment I've seen in a while. And I agree that Alves' cross was quite nice, but he played poorly overall in the match. But really that goal, and the simultaneous elation it elicited from everyone in the bar, that is why you watch soccer. Simply beautiful. And yea surprisingly enough I think Bordeaux might well win (Marseille still has a chance). The French league hasn't been that strong for a while now, and its too bad. Lyon has actually won 6 in a row, and Benzema is most likely on his way out so it could be even harder on them next year. Seems many Parisians are just waiting for Ribbery to sign with Barca to Champions League team for which to root. With Abidal and Henry they might not have many French players, but the ones they have start so they're a well liked club here. [Title]

Output: Alves & Bordeaux


Input: [Date] 6 years 9 weeks ago [Body] Pretty worried after how much trouble Chelsea was for them. Chelsea played rough, but great defense, and took Messi out of both matches, no small feet. Man U has an even better defense, and with Abidal and Alves out things could get rough. Even though Abidal's red card was a joke, and Alves played like shit the last match. Puyol will return so the defense will be good, but not great. I am eager to see the best two players in the world, Ronaldo and Messi, go at it. I think Messi is the greatest, and really want him to send Ronaldo home crying. Seriously is there a less likable international sports star than Cristiano? Unfortunately, I would have to predict a Man U win in a low scoring contest. I will be surprised if there are over 3 goals total. I like Barca because their style of play is beautiful. Its truly amazing to watch, especially with Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta. They always put out exciting, great teams to watch, and the Catalan pride runs strong. I like PSG (Paris St. Germain) because I live in Paris, and I go to a their games occasionally. I like Tottenham Hotspur because they have an awesome history, and they're not the GIANT bandwagon EPL teams that Man U, Arsenal, and Chelsea are. Plus they use a Shakespeare character's name. Too bad they played like shit for the first half of the season. [Title]

Output: Illini


Input: [Date] 6 years 10 weeks ago [Body] Im fine with most guys who leave OSU for professional sports. I don't really hold their university against them, and general indifference is normally my reaction. But some players I just cannot bring myself to like after years of disdaining them. Ex: Laurinaitis, Troy Smith. Chris Wells will always bear the mark of his years destroying Michigan. Should he make it to the pros, Terrell Pryor will remind me for years to come of spurned love, what could have been, and what an asshole he is. Oden doesn't really bear any such scar. He was only around for a year, and they were a lot better than Michigan in 05-06 (NIT runner up vs. NCAA runner up). However, getting an OSU player on a team I root for can be challenging. As a Yankees fan I want to like Swisher a lot: hes been playing pretty well and is a great character guy, but his OSU heritage still holds me back a little. In Oden's case, I hope he gets over the injury hump. He's now missed 103/162 games, and I wish that on no one. And yea he has been kinda of a bust. It's true its early enough that there remains a chance and time for him to redeem himself and succeed, but for now he stinks of Sam Bowie. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 years 10 weeks ago [Body] The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked: his wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire; he is of purer eyes than to bear to have you in his sight; you are ten thousand times more abominable in his eyes, than the most hateful venomous serpent is in ours. You have offended him infinitely more than ever a stubborn rebel did his prince; and yet it is nothing but his hand that holds you from falling into the fire every moment. It is to be ascribed to nothing else, that you did not go to hell the last night; that you were suffered to awake again in this world, after you closed your eyes to sleep. And there is no other reason to be given, why you have not dropped into hell since you arose in the morning, but that God's hand has held you up. [Title]

If he brings d like he did at Texas obviously it would be great, but until then patiently waiting. Liked Shafer when he was hired, could've seen him for another season, but i guess it just wasnt workin out with rrod, and not really sad to see him go.

Input: [Date] 6 years 18 weeks ago [Body] maybe a quick edit and no one else will ever notice, notably ironic considering my search skills apparently dont extend to dictionary.com, should have looked it over. [Title]

Output: oh you are correct sir


Input: [Date] 6 years 18 weeks ago [Body] i indicated anything quite so drastic Wolvin. What i want is improvement, as I said. (Re)climbing the ranks to the top is the goal, and yea obviously winning a national title would be great in the next 5 years or so. To do so we need to win more, but also recruiting better would help, and I think RRod will deliver on both. It is not entitlement, but great hope and enthusiasm, tempered by an honest look at our surroundings. Upon examination it is quite possible for Michigan to play with the very best of them, as we have in the past, and hopefully soon will again. Now recruiting with the very best of them, well thats a different goal that we may not have achieved recently (though admittedly we do pretty well), but one upon which I would like to improve as well. Truly rivaling the classes OSU brings in would be nice if only for bragging rights (its one of those nice little internal victories, snatchin a recruit from the heart of Ohio). However, i see that i have not succinctly answered the post topic: i agree with Don, it is too early to tell. Dont take me the wrong way, I do not think RRod has done horribly given the circumstances, and i do not want to cast come black cloud over the current class or the program's direction. Indeed I do think the program heading up, after the somewhat static last years of Lloyd. The mighty having temporarily fallen are not precluded from rising again, take our economy for instance (please god please god please god). p.s. 1948, please dont impune my search skills so; wikipedia lies only two clicks away. [Title]

Output: i dont believe


Input: [Date] 6 years 18 weeks ago [Body] #7 according to rivals only (to others out of top 10,even 15), and considering the sole dt and the class was decent. Im talking top 5 top 3 thats a goal. And look back at WVU he never did so great, recruiting was a general concern before his arrival. Hes done ok so far. And it is fair to compare Michigan to OSU and USC, they are traditional peers, but sadly current, but certainly not permanent (hopefully, not even longtime) betters. Lloyd, especially towards the end wasnt the best recruiter either, thats part of the problem. What i am talking about is being proud of the fact that YAY!!! we got a top 10 qb (not even nationwide mind you, just state wide) a few decent kids out of florida!!!, and we even convinced like one or two kids to take us over USC. Its complacent to pat oneself on the back for that, we can and I would certainly like us to do better. Lache is a good place to start, but as I said hopefully when the wins start coming thisll improve. My point is moving on up, back to the top a position rightfully desired for the winingest program ever. [Title]

Output: #7 according to rivals only


Input: [Date] 6 years 18 weeks ago [Body] the mallet warren part on kids from michigan, cuz they aint. typo my bad. instead treat them as the limited big time recruits we actually have landed [Title]

Output: oh and ignore


Input: [Date] 6 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Unlike some of you, I am a little worried. Rich Rodriguez has never been a fantastic recruiter, and the addition of Greg Robinson to the staff probably doesnt help too much. I believe some of our guys (Miller, Jackson) will move up in the rankings as the year goes on, but still I am tired of looking at the top 25 or so (the five stars) and seeing at most one Michigan commit. Compare that to the numerous USC, Florida, and even OSU commits, and we are coming up a little short. Furthermore, landing those uber talented kids in the top five or so IS beneficial, and obviously they can fit our (or practically any) system. I agree that we gotta start winning games to make this happen. There is little better exposure than playing in and winning major BCS bowls. Hopefully we put together some good seasons and the recruits start rolling in, but I am tired of the complacency we have in picking the scraps of Florida, OSU, and USC, Notre Dame, etc. offer lists. We land an occasional kid from the area who is big time (Campbell, Grady, Mallet, Warren), but Michigan needs to start lading some of the big time national recruits. Pryor was the closest weve been in a while, and I frankly doubt we were even that close. That being said, I do not want to suggest Michigan should sink to Kiffin-eske levels of whoredom. I believe of course standards should be upheld, and institutional self respect valued. This is not impossible, Notre Dame does great, USC does incredibly well, as does Florida, and even Georgia pulls its weight, yet these schools retain their standards. [Title]

Output: Nebraska-OU


Input: [Date] 3 days 23 hours ago [Body] If Harbaugh brings UM back to what we all hope will be a consistent Top 10-15 program, it'll be interesting to see what happens with tickets. The last few years it's really been a no brainer to just go stub hub/secondary market for tickets. If we start seeing matchup's like #12 MSU vs #6 UM or #3 OSU vs #5 UM in the big house, secondary prices are going to be through the roof. Even the less marquee games will see their demand increase.

Output: True but


Input: [Date] 1 week 45 min ago [Body] While true that he has more return yards than those people, he also has waaaaay many more returns than the people you mention. Number of kickoff returns: Norfleet - 94 Derrick Alexander - 27 Anthony Thomas - 31 Amani Toomer - less then 27 Martavious Odoms - 54 Ty Wheatley - 31 Todd Howard - less than 27 Stanley Edwards - less than 27 [Title]

Output: Return yards


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 hour ago [Body] in one of the book's on Bo (can't remember the title, I'd have to check when I get home) Bo told a story about Bear Bryant. It was late in Bryant's coaching career and Bryant told Bo he essentially didn't have the fire in him to coach. Bo asked him why he didn't just quit. Bryant's response was along the lines that there were a lot of people whose jobs at Alabama were because of Bryant. When he (Bryant) stepped down all his assistants would have to find new jobs and more then likely a new coach would replace most of, if not all of, the office personnel and a lot of the suppot staff. [Title]

Output: Bear Bryant


Input: [Date] 1 week 17 hours ago [Body] Gardner's 2013 season is one of the best passing season's a QB has ever had at UM. Gardner's 2013 passing stats are all over the single season records and most of them are near the top. Now, if you said Gardner was broken by the end of the 2014 season, I'd agree 100%. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] on this blog about the play a year or two ago with interviews of Moeller and Holtz thrown in. If I remember correctly, there were 3 different options on the play and it was up to Grbac to decide which one to call when they got to the line. [Title]

Output: There was a fairly big write up


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] I think that's a fair question but at the same time recruiting highly ranked recruits is only half the battle. Developing them to be good college players and utilizing those players to maximize their strengths is the other half. I think most of us agree that Hoke and his staff weren't that great at the latter. [Title]

Output: Hoke's eye for talent


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] If you're eligible for a 5th year, your first 4 years are essentially a tryout to see if you'll be granted a 5th year. Harbaugh wasn't here for these guys first 4 years so all he had was film to see what they did in games and then in spring practice to see how hard they work, attitude, coachability, etc. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Body] but the 1991 ND game (Grbac to Howard). I'd also throw in the 1978 OSU-UM in Columbus. Tied 0-0 at halftime and then UM comes out and dominates the second half to win 22-0. I'd also put the '84 Miami (FL) game on the list. Also, one of the most dominating performances I've seen between matchup of Top 5 teams - the 1997 PSU game. [Title]

Output: Maybe I missed these


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Body] was a recruit in the 2005 class and was getting plays called for him his freshmean year. While I doubt he would have supplanted Henne as QB, had Bass not gotten hurt I'm guessing he would have been getting a lot of reps at QB in 2007 when Henne went down. Should Carr maybe have tried for a more a high profile recruit in 2006, maybe but Carr was pulling him some pretty highly rated QB's everry couple of years. [Title]

Output: Antonio Bass


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 9 hours ago [Body] In 1968 I'm not sure how much their SOS played into it. By the middle of October the AP rankings went USC, OSU, PSU. The top 3 went undefeated the rest of the way so you had a #1 vs #2 matchup in the Rose Bowl. In 1969, PSU was #3 heading into late November and wikipedia says "November 29 #3 Penn State which won at North Carolina State 33-8, had been considered for the Cotton Bowl Classic, where the Southwestern Conference champ (Texas or Arkansas) would go. Before Ohio State's loss, however, the players had voted to accept a bid to the Orange Bowl, because they preferred going to Miami instead of Dallas, even though the Nittany Lions went to the Orange Bowl the previous season and defeated Kansas 15-14.[3] Certain to move up to #2 regardless of how the Texas-Arkansas game came out, Penn State unexpectedly had passed up a chance to go up against the #1 team in the nation.[4] So in 1969, PSU had only themselves to blame for not playing Texas in the Cotton Bowl in a matchup of what would have been #1 vs #2. 1973, yeah their SOS probably didn't help them. [Title]

Output: PSU undefeated years

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I think it has more to do with Molk and the oline. Denard lined up next to Fitz in 2012 but Fitz didn't have anywhere near the same success as he did in 2011. [Title]

Output: Respectfully disagree


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Body] what you're saying but it's not Fred's fault he was the running back coach on some of UM's worst offenses. Fitz was a beast in the second half of 2011, and then the oline cratered in 2012 and 2013. I'm not saying Fred is without fault but there were a lot of other problems going on with the offense that were probably out of his control. [Title]

Neither Auburn or Alabama were interested in Vonn Bell? 5* DB out of Georgia in the 2013 class who Rivals ranked as the #4 safety in the country. Neither Auburn or Alabama wanted Joey Bosa? 4* defensive end from Florida who Rivals ranked as the #4 defensive end in the 2013 class. Neither Auburn or Alabama wanted Michael Hill? 4* defensive tackle who rivals rated as the #1 recruit in South Carolina and the 10th best defensive tackle in the country in the 2013 class. At least according to rivals all these guys show offers from Alabama and Auburn, and in Bell's case he visited Alabama, but all went to OSU. [Title]

It's been around long enough though that recruits should know its the nature of the beast. If you don't want it, make your account private. If they rule out a school because of what moronic lunatic fringe part of that school's fanbase tweeted them, then they were looking for an excuse to exclude that school anways. [Title]

Output: I had noticed two basketball players on crutches over near the Union last week and wondered what the deal is. Very disappointing to hear it was ACLs.


Input: [Date] 2 years 43 weeks ago [Title] But the issues -- long and short term -- are entirely different [Body]

Output: For professional athletes, they are going to be making an immense amount of money immediately -- when they are young and impulsive -- that will have to last them after their career ends. A ten year career in the NFL is long and then you have to live on that or find something else to do. There are going to be people looking to get a share from all side -- friends and family and "investors" and "financial advisors." That's incredibly different than most of us who need to learn that we can't have everything we were raised with in our parents' house when we are first starting out, or how to account for the costs of adult life we took for granted living at home. (Assuming most of the readers are middle class and saw parents writing utility bills and hitting the credit union savings account for unexpected auto repairs.)

Output: That is in fact probably your best bet to get to PiHi. Main will be a parking lot, and without the bridge, people are going to cross State on foot at Granger to walk through the field hockey field, which will block that up.


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Title] People parked there for basketball [Body]

Output: The lights cycle for getting out of the stump of Stadium up to that parking lot so you aren't completely trapped. Much smaller crowd for basketball, of course.

Output: My daughter walks home from Pioneer and cannot use the bridge. It looks like they are getting closer to done, as in there is actually a bridge deck instead of gaping space, so it may open for pedestrians before cars, but that is just my uninformed opinion without any sort of insider information.

Output: My German mother ate that way (and all the relatives on that side of the family, not that I see them that often).


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Title] His coach got fired [Body]

Output: Or rather, "came to a mutual decision to seek other opportunities." I can see where he would consider doing the same. Either way it's a crapshoot, so why not try something completely different. I know he redshirted, so he may well be done with school. If not, although I know absolutely nothing about the Brosnahan family situation other than that they live near a couple of my colleagues, I am guessing another semester of tuition wouldn't break the bank. It's not as if baseball players get full scholarships anyway. Kind of too bad because he was the pitcher my son decided was "his guy" last season.

Output: What I never understood is how "cocksucker" became a derogatory term. It seems to me that, no matter your orientation, they are doing a service to somebody. Are you anti-blowjob? Seems to me like they should be praised for the good they are doing society. Cowherd, on the other hand, is awful.

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Title] It seems to me that you and I [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I understand these arguments, [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Baseball is somewhat random [Body]

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

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 2 days ago [Title] In the student section right [Body]

Output: In the student section right behind a group of 30 or so PSU fans that were huge assholes to everyone around them the entire time. I can't believe how many M students sold their tickets during fall break; A2 was INFESTED with PSU bros that weekend. They were out on South U and elsewhere picking fights and whatnot the Friday before. Funny how they didn't seem to be around on Saturday night. This is when I lost all respect for PSU, well before the most recent...events. This and Braylonfest were the two best live moments in sports for me. That Saturday was one of the biggest party nights that took place while I was at M. I think because it was a generally terrible season to that point and the game ended at night the student body turned it up to 11.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 2 days ago [Title] If I'm not mistaken that [Body]

Output: If I'm not mistaken that correction has to do with the speed of the satellite in orbit being faster than the speed of someone standing on the surface. The same principle would apply if you placed a clock on an extremely tall tower - the top is rotating faster than the base. These are two different principles at work here. Says that guy who's never taken physics, anyway (me).


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] At some point doesn't the [Body]

Output: At some point doesn't the University have to consider how far it is willing to go to remain competitive in this environment? I think we have two great coaches in Harbaugh and Beilein, but as the years go on, Michigan will be challenged in its ability to do things the right way while also remaining competitive. I think we are currently very near the edge of the envelope.

Output: I think my senior year (07-08) was probably the last year you could really sneak in as a late night destination. They kept everything locked, but we found a tree next to the fence on the on the Crisler side that was helpful in getting over the fence. Depending on the security guard's enthusiasm and weather, you could get a lot of time in on the field. It was pretty epic after a fresh snow. The best part is that the security lights were bright enough for you to see pretty well. I'm sure it's totally different now. Thanks, Dave Brandon.

Output: Age? 29 Occupation? Nuclear security/nonproliferation Location? DC Alum? LSA 2008 Most MICHIGAN thing you've ever done? (funny, memorable, etc.) Snuck into the Big House at 1AM and played football. We got a whole hour in before being run off.

Output: I was just in Tbilisi, though Yerevan is great too. I of course read mgoblog while there so at least for a time there's two mgobloggers in the Caucasus. EDIT: Okay, now there are at least three. EDIT EDIT: I accidentally upvoted myself, so rather than living with that shame I downvoted myself.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I'm not really sure they are [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I had similar experience too, [Body]

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

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 11 hours ago [Title] People assume that time is a [Body]

Output: People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect. But actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, It's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey...stuff.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Man that would be a slap in [Body]

Input: [Date] 19 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I know the logistics would be [Body]

Output: I know the logistics would be hell on short-notice but I feel the B1G Regular Season Champ should then host the B1G Playoff. Make it an actual goal to win the reg. season, or at least host the following season's playoff.

Output: ...I'm gonna buckle up just in case this leads to a commit watch somehow

Output: If Red's gonna stay one more year like Bando mentioned, then I kinda hope Larkin declares for the Griffins that way his growth won't be stunted and can help the Wings sooner.

Output: Had this been the first bad year of missing the tournament, I can side with the Red defenders but no, this is year 3 of mediocrity. Love the man and what he's done but it's time for Michigan Hockey to progress forward. Time to evolve.

Output: His heart does, his hands/fingers/wrists do not


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Social media gives a public [Body]

Output: Social media gives a public platform to people who should not have one nor deserve one in some cases. It's been around long enough though that recruits should know its the nature of the beast. If you don't want it, make your account private. If they rule out a school because of what moronic lunatic fringe part of that school's fanbase tweeted them, then they were looking for an excuse to exclude that school anways.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Title] SEC Buckeyes gonna Buck I'm [Body]

Output: SEC Buckeyes gonna Buck I'm sure our coaches will move forward at some point but I hope they have the class to sell recruits on the program/school, not sell themselves and make promises about staying.

Output: I have a bad feeling this year's Wisky will be last year's PSU and we inexplicably lose to them despite their god awful record.

Output: screw PSU and screw us for losing to PSU that's my opinion of it so far


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 5 days ago [Title] OSU is gonna get theirs and [Body]

Output: OSU is gonna get theirs and we're gonna get ours. Sure we might lose a couple H2H recruiting battles but both schools have scooped up big talent simulataneously in the past. It's MSU, PSU, Wisky, Neb who should be concerned.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Just think of it this way, [Body]

Output: Just think of it this way, OSU and MSU are doing the heavy lifting to rebuild the B1G's cred in the nick of time for us to exploit it to our full advantage when Harbaugh brings us back to relevance :D


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 4 days ago [Title] read the comments to the main [Body]

Output: read the comments to the main tweet for a good laugh, provided by both Raiders and Buckeye fans (who are perfect for each other)


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Drew Sharp will probably [Body]

Output: Drew Sharp will probably write something like "yeah Harbaugh's here now, but every year he'll have the NFL knocking on his door, causing a major distraction for Michigan. Is the distraction really worth it? No." then I wipe my ass with it because it's Drew Sharp

Input: [Date] 2 years 1 week ago [Title] Manziel and Mariota would [Body]

Output: Manziel and Mariota would also qualify. I don't know if that was assumed, but it does bring the total up to 8 (the two mentioned in the previous sentence, two in the previous post, and Gardner) of the 29 accomplishing the feat in their first year. Out of curiosity, how many players on your list managed to accomplish the feat in multiple seasons or independent 5-game runs?


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] Thanks, fixed it. For all the [Body]

Output: Thanks, fixed it. For all the times that I've read the guy's name, I should be able to spell it... That's a very interesting observation. I'm throwing around the idea of going more in-depth on defense in the Big 10, looking more into game-by-game results. The impact of drawing two fouls on a starter would be a good place to start that analysis.


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] I would think that his [Body]

Output: I would think that his hedging ability is a contributing factor to eFG% and, in a small way, tempo. Hedging denies an opponent an immediate open look and forces them to make additional passes to exploit the mismatch out of the hedge. The first half of the Western Michigan game had some great examples of opponents successfully making those passes against Michigan's hedging, but a well-executed hedge should deny the opponent their current set and force them to reset and execute their next option. This also takes more time off of the shot clock and increases the chances of a poor choice of shot or shot clock violation. Based on observation, I'd say that the Michigan's hedging is more effective against less athletic teams that have to shoot over the mismatch, whereas more athletic teams can drive against or back down the mismatched player before Morgan can recover.


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] I actually looked at [Body]

Output: I actually looked at regression when I started the analysis, but thought that the correlation numbers were easier to explain. Regression shows that the four factors make for a very good predictor of Adjusted Defensive Efficiency (R^2 = 0.80) and an excellent predictor of Raw Defensive Efficiency (98%!). All four factors have p values well below 0.01, and adjusted R^2 is nearly the same as R^2 for both, so not a lot of noise when considering just these four variables. Not surprising that these statistics were given such a prominent position in the tempo-free community. There is still a clear heirarchy of importance in the regression model, though. eFG% is still most important, followed by TO%, DReb%, and FT Rate in that order, with TO% and DReb% very close to each other and FT Rate lagging behind. However, with their importance beng approximately equal, the weight given to TO% in the regression model is greater than that given to DReb%, as the average value for TO% is 10 percentage points lower than that for DReb% (which is why I went with the correlation numbers).


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] Exactly. The total % for each [Body]

Output: Exactly. The total % for each column adds up to the number of teams in that round x 100(%). That said, it looks like there are some rounding issues that make some columns add up to slightly more or less than their required amount, but nothing unusual.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Agreed on Turner. That [Body]

Output: Agreed on Turner. That buzzer-beater was the worst sports punch-to-the-gut I've endured.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Bates-Diop would be a big [Body]

Output: Bates-Diop would be a big get, but he's actually the class after Irvin, Walton, and Donnal. They're all 2013. Still, great way to kick off the 2014 class and take a player away from from Purdue/Illinois.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] If Horford's knee is OK, we [Body]

Output: If Horford's knee is OK, we might see: Burke Hardaway Robinson Horford Morgan (or McGary) Burke seemed to indicate at media days that Horford was playing the 4 in their "Big" lineup, so I'm interested to see how that shakes out.

I know this is something that 99.999% of readers could give a sh** about, but I know the dude personally and he is a really good guy and great coach, I'm sure he would love to know about the mention.

Output: This is going to sound hugely

Input: [Date] 3 years 36 weeks ago [Body] I can see the argument of, try the 2 now so you know what you have to do, but I'm watching the game and was thinking, "you're Cal, extend the game, keep your team into into it, and keep within 1 score." Obviously it worked out, and there are certainly times where I would go for the 2 in that situation, but in this one, kick it! [Title]

Output: I can see the argument of,


Input: [Date] 3 years 36 weeks ago [Body] Am I the only one that is nervous as shit about next week. I know we should be favored, but it feels so much like 2001 when OSU was average at best, and we shit the bed. Don't get me wrong, I love our chances, and I will be losing my voice screaming on Sat. from my living room, but Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, I just want it to be here!!! [Title]

Output: Am I the only one that is


Input: [Date] 3 years 36 weeks ago [Body] Great thought. I had to go look that up, figured there was a WR in there somewhere in the last 20 years, but shit, it really does only go to QB's and RB's. [Title]

Output: Great thought. I had to go


Input: [Date] 3 years 36 weeks ago [Body] 3 of the top five lost, I can't remember crazier shit happening. I know I'm in the minority, but this is why I love the BCS, cause all these upsets are huge deal. If there was an 8 or 16 team playoff, a lot of the losses would be...oh well, that's okay, let's gear up for the playoff. [Title]

Output: 3 of the top five lost, I


Input: [Date] 3 years 36 weeks ago [Body] Agreed, Wisky 2008 was nice, but a fluke from a terrible team, this is a statement that we are back. We are back, we are back, we are back. We've got Hoke back. [Title]

Output: Agreed, Wisky 2008 was nice,


Input: [Date] 3 years 36 weeks ago [Body] Totally embarrassing. Pull your starters, put in your 4th stringer, run off tackle 4 times in a row, fine, but take a knee 4 times in a row! That says, we feel so sorry for you, we don't want to embarrass you anymore. These are D1 athletes, on a full ride. Probably in the top 1% of football players in this country. I know it's Ole Miss and probably will never have the talent to get revenge, but boy would that burn my ass up! [Title]

Output: Totally embarrassing. Pull

Input: [Date] 4 years 22 weeks ago [Body] i think anyway we can improve our own resume is important. There are going multiple bubble teams from many conferences, plus with a head to head win, you would think if it came down to us vs. clemson for one of the final spots we would have the edge.

Input: [Date] 4 years 22 weeks ago [Body] 9-9 in, by all consensus, one of the toughest conferences, 20 wins, they're in in that scenario. I also think the committee would look very favorably at the last 12ish games and the close loses to very good teams. [Title]

Output: 9-9 in, by all consensus, one


Input: [Date] 4 years 23 weeks ago [Body] I think the reality is that we are a bubble team, the national media just doesn't recognize it yet. As most others are saying, 2-1 in the final 3 plus 1 BTT win and we're likely in. 1-2 in the final three and it's hello NIT (Which is pretty respectable imo) [Title]

Output: I think the reality is that


Input: [Date] 4 years 25 weeks ago [Body] I think we need quality over quantity at this point. If a player the staff thinks highly of can fill an open schollie, then bring them on, but don't just fill the class to have it full. What good is a schollie spent on a player who most likely won't contribute for 4-5 years if it can be used on a player next year that POTENTIALLY can contribute in year 1 or 2. IMO, that is what it really comes down to, potential. [Title]

Output: I think we need quality over


Input: [Date] 4 years 25 weeks ago [Body] I love all the fluff and am starting to become a hoke-a-maniac, but it is all going to come down to W's and L's. Get Mich back to national power=hero, stumble through 3 or 4 mediocre seasons=goat. Let's all hope for the former. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 25 weeks ago [Body] As a Cleveland Browns, Indians, Cavs and Michigan fan, I have not had a whole lot to be excited about lately. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, but things do seem headed in the right direction, how long will it take to get there, that is another question. [Title]

Output: It can't get much worse


Input: [Date] 4 years 25 weeks ago [Body] this better not be a teaser like the outside of the pants rub i had at the bar last nigh. Fisher would be a great get (retain?) for this staff and the team [Title]

Output: teaser


Input: [Date] 4 years 25 weeks ago [Body] I am right there in hoping with you, but that is it, just hope. Kickers are an odd breed, just look at the NFL, the elite of the elite end up going into a funk and getting cut or not re-signed only to sign on with another team and become elite again. Bottom line, kickers are about as sure thing as not getting herpes from a $20 hooker...you just never know. [Title]

Output: kickers


Input: [Date] 4 years 26 weeks ago [Body] I can only hope that his PT goes down. Not that I want it to, he is one of my favorite wolverines, but if his PT is declining that means that we have more talent playing on the field, which ultimately the most important thing. I do hope that he still significantly contributes in some way. [Title]

Output: PT


Input: [Date] 4 years 26 weeks ago [Body] I know that you are getting a lot of advice, but much of it seems to be inaccurate. I am a Physical Therapist and Athletic Trainer, (I know that makes it sound like I am bragging, but I assure you I am not, I just want to qualify my comments). It his highly unlikely that this is plantar fascitis as you would have significant pain when first standing up, not worsening pain with exercise. IMO the folks who are talking about your shoes and arches are the most likely correct. However, it is virtually impossible to tell without looking at your feet especially during gait. You could try 'gellin', but I really doubt that would be effective. An excellent first step would be to try a different pair of shoes. It blows because they are expensive, but it may cure your pain right away. If that does not work, you may need to look at custom orthotics but this would need to be evaluated by a certified orthotist and again expensive. If you are going to continue to attempt to play, a gradual warm up is essential. Stretching can help also, but recent studies have shown the warm up to be more important. Take this advice for what it's worth [Title]

Output: Thanks for sharing the info


Input: [Date] 2 years 43 weeks ago [Body] For professional athletes, they are going to be making an immense amount of money immediately -- when they are young and impulsive -- that will have to last them after their career ends. A ten year career in the NFL is long and then you have to live on that or find something else to do. There are going to be people looking to get a share from all side -- friends and family and "investors" and "financial advisors." That's incredibly different than most of us who need to learn that we can't have everything we were raised with in our parents' house when we are first starting out, or how to account for the costs of adult life we took for granted living at home. (Assuming most of the readers are middle class and saw parents writing utility bills and hitting the credit union savings account for unexpected auto repairs.) [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Body] That is in fact probably your best bet to get to PiHi. Main will be a parking lot, and without the bridge, people are going to cross State on foot at Granger to walk through the field hockey field, which will block that up. [Title]

Output: That Pioneer side of Stadium is fine.


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Body] The lights cycle for getting out of the stump of Stadium up to that parking lot so you aren't completely trapped. Much smaller crowd for basketball, of course. [Title]

Output: People parked there for basketball


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Body] My daughter walks home from Pioneer and cannot use the bridge. It looks like they are getting closer to done, as in there is actually a bridge deck instead of gaping space, so it may open for pedestrians before cars, but that is just my uninformed opinion without any sort of insider information.

Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Body] My German mother ate that way (and all the relatives on that side of the family, not that I see them that often). [Title]

Output: Definitely European style


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Or rather, "came to a mutual decision to seek other opportunities." I can see where he would consider doing the same. Either way it's a crapshoot, so why not try something completely different. I know he redshirted, so he may well be done with school. If not, although I know absolutely nothing about the Brosnahan family situation other than that they live near a couple of my colleagues, I am guessing another semester of tuition wouldn't break the bank. It's not as if baseball players get full scholarships anyway. Kind of too bad because he was the pitcher my son decided was "his guy" last season. [Title]

Output: His coach got fired


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Body] Agreed. The douche level is getting too damned high on this board. I'm not sure if it's just because of the points system, though. It might be a direct result of its increased popularity and moving to the mainstream that dilutes out the quality posters. That doesn't stop me from visiting daily, though. [Title]

Output: Agreed. The douche level is


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Body] I know that this all in good fun, but who really does a consistently good job as a solo talk radio host? National guys like Jim Rome/SVP have a room full of people to keep churning out the topics, and are hardly in the same category. I really don't know of any, and stand by my Caputo reference. Even if you think he's an idiot, the man has been doing the job for a long time, knows his craft, and can fill a strange air time by himself with reasonable consistency. [Title]

Output: I know that this all in good


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Body] I can't believe all of the negative comments in this thread. I understand that a thread like this will bring out the vocal minority that for whatever reason dislike a radio show (see the many threads where other shows get blasted), but this seems over the top. I enjoy listening to Ira and wtka. I think the point that is lost in all the negativity are that it is a blessing and a curse to cover Michigan sports so in depth. We all tune in because we like hearing about michigan football, but the problem is there really isn't a whole lot of news to fill in multiple hours every single day. Sure, they do a good job during the football season, but how could you not ramble about a random michigan factoid or a game from 20 years ago when it's April and there hasn't been any real michigan football news in months? I'm also surprised that Ira is being criticized a little about rambling. It is an extremely difficult skill to fly solo in a talk radio show. It is literally just you meant to fill the air for x amount of hours, and be sure to fill that air, too because nothing is worse that pauses or dead air time. Rants and long winded conversations with yourself are absolutely inevitable, and actually necessary. Combine that with the fact that you have no social cues to know exactly when your audience is losing interest, it makes it extremely difficult. Sprinkle in the fact that the audience is so niche that callers don't exactly light up his boards all the time, and it's a lot of Ira talking without it being his fault at all. I think Ira does a great job. I don't listen to many national radio talk shows anymore, and the only local guy that can really fly solo on the radio pretty we'll is pat caputo besides Ira. Again, I'm sure there are people here that don't enjoy his show, but I think he does a great job of keeping a show entertaining even if he doesn't have a cohost to bounce conversations off of. Pat has been doing this for decades, has many more topics available for him to cover, and has a much larger Detroit sports fan base to "turn it to the people" when he hits a lull. Let's give Ira some credit. Keep up the good work Ira. I moved out of the area 2 years ago. I used to solely listen to sports talk radio, but when I made the move yours is the only talk radio I listen to anymore via the radio app. You do a great job and we appreciate it. [Title]

Output: I can't believe all of the


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] We're you a big fan during the horror? Nothing is worse than app state. Ranked #4. Coming off a season that many thought we should have played for the NC, senior star running back and quarterbacks that had been pegged to be national contenders for years, the future #1 overall pick. Bite your tongue, young man. Nothing is worse than the horror. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] I'm all for jumping all over the espn hype train,but I have to give them credit on the clowney case. They sure did hype him to insane levels, but he also got a whole hell of a lot of criticism after that first game. Between the first and second game there was some residual hype and discussion as to whether the first game was an outlier, but after two nondominating performances, I haven't heard that much hype on him. It only took two weeks to crush espn's golden boy, and that's not too bad. [Title]

Output: I'm all for jumping all over


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] Wow that was a ridiculous play. Even more ridiculous that TAMU caught it. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] Anyone else feel for Texas a little bit? I know they snubbed us with joining the big ten and I know Vince young torched us, but for some reason I don't take the pleasure in them sucking as much as I do USC. [Title]

Output: Anyone else feel for Texas a


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] We absolutely did not stuff them every time we got aggressive. I was surprised how well they seemed to pick up our blitzes and with our corners playing off so much it seemed like it was raining short slants for 8-9 yards a pop. [Title]

Output: We absolutely did not stuff


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] Manziel is looking sharp today. I hate to say it but I thought his hype train was out of control. Those deep balls to single coverage are on point. [Title]

Output: Manziel is looking sharp


Input: [Date] 2 years 38 weeks ago [Body] That is what always happens on a standard play action pass. [Title]

Output: That is what always happens


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Body] There is no way that a rational person can believe that at this point in their respective football careers Devin Gardner gives us a better chance at winning a football game compared to Denard Robinson. That thought is silly, in my opinion, but so is us arguing about exactly how awesome DG is right now. We both are glad he's on the team, and we both are looking forward to seeing him kick some butt next year, everything else is arguing over minutia. It was a good game. Go Blue. [Title]

Output: There is no way that a


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Body] Come on. Based on a couple deep throws that could, no would have been picked off against better DBs? He has looked good today against a big ten bottom dweller, and I'm glad that the guy is having a breakout game, but all you need to do is rewatch the past few spring games to realize how silly you sound. Furthermore, throwing mechanics? Neither Denard nor Devin are picture perfect throwers. Both have great arm strength, but your kidding yourself if you don't see DG short arming his throws. [Title]

Output: Come on. Based on a couple


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Body] Everyone needs to temper their excitement for DG a little bit. No, he is not better than Denard. We are all excited to have a QB option that could be a threat next year, but this is Minn. [Title]

Output: Everyone needs to temper


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Body] We do know that Michigan used to run the triple option, right? [Title]

Output: We do know that Michigan used

Output: No. We have to whine about


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Body] Our offense is moving the ball at will, as it probably should be against this defense. Our defense is certainly not calming any concerns from last week, but it is a defense designed to line up against pro sets and zone read options. I am not sure how much struggling against this team tells us going forward. [Title]

Output: Our offense is moving the
