Input: [Date] 33 weeks 4 days ago [Body] There is no way that losing Scherzer (assuming he isn't resigned) and Porcello from the rotation will lead to this being a better team next year, even with the addition of Cespedes, Simon, and a hopefully healthy Iglasias Not a fan of Cespedes at all, free swinger to the bone on team that already didn't take enough walks last year. He had an OBP lower than Hunter's last year. Complete one trick pony at the plate, all or nothing. His defense is really the area that will provide a significant upgrade over Hunter's production from the last two years. They still haven't done squat to bolster the bullpen, assuming Simon and Greene are in the rotation. As others have said you give up valuable trade pieces in the Simon trade for a journeymen, who fell apart in the second half of the year last year.They still don't have a legitimate number 1 or 2 type of hitter either, Kinsler was awful in the second half of the year last year, and neither Davis or Gose are 1 or 2 type of hitters. Barring any significant move (resigning Scherzer or James Shields) I don't see how anybody could argue that this team has gotten any better and they weren't good enough last year. The window may be shut at this point. [Title]

Input: [Date] 35 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I really don't see issue some people seem to have with Les Miles and his age. If Les is still passionate about coaching I don't think his age should be that big of a deal. I would prefer Harbaugh like anybody else, but Les is a good back up option with a track record of success if UM doesn't land Jim. Edit: This commented was directed at Brody's posts earlier in the thread about not wanting Miles due to his age. [Title]

Output: Bill Snyder of KSU is 75


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 6 days ago [Body] The reality is the Tigers may need to overpay for Victor if they have to, because otherwise if they lose him and Scherzer they are simply not going to be a contender next year. The window will shut on the Tigers if they lose both of those guys,and don't replace them. [Title]

Input: [Date] 15 hours 15 min ago [Body] I don't think there's a team on the schedule that can afford to overlook Michigan or Harbaugh will make them pay. But in terms of what will do Michigan in, I'm not quite sure what to expect. The coaches said they're trying not to overwhelm the players, so it's not like they'll have their own 300-play playbook to start the season. But simplicity means predictability, so it'll be tough to balance growth with consistency. So all bets are off, but I'd guess what we'll see in this team is growing pains. Some days it'll look like they're executing but there aren't enough weapons. Other days they'll botch the play. Overall, the team just won't be able to do it all right away. The one thing I expect WON'T happen is for Michigan State to just march into Ann Arbor and punch this team in the mouth. Goddamn I'm so sick of seeing that. They're still the heavy favorite, but this is what Harbaugh does to teams that overlook his players: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mFtGaV_w48 [Title]

Output: They'll be dangerous right away


Input: [Date] 17 hours 19 min ago [Body] I'm sure someone' here is going to take this the wrong way, but they may not be improved from last year. Not for any reason other than the coaches are flipping the whole team upside down and rattling them like a bag of shake n' bake. Baxter in particular is on record saying he's completely breaking down ST and re-building from the ground up. Which, mind you, is a VERY BADLY NEEDED overhaul, but FFS he didn't even let the kickers kick field goals during spring practice. Drevno is probably ditching IZ and converting to a gap-blocking scheme which throws the OL back a couple years. We're doubling down on press coverage but with Peppers' move to FS (which is -- to reiterate -- a great move) there's like one proven guy on the roster who can execute that (though I'm hoping Watson gives us two). We're recruiting CBs like crazy but they won't be available this season. The pattern I'm emphasizing here is that I'm ecstatic about all the changes the coaches are making, even as I'm aware most of them will set the team back until it adjusts. I think this team will be more fun to watch than last season's. That said, I expect it to start out raw. I mean, if they win 10+ games I'll be right there with everyone dancing in the street (or more likely posting here with a silly grin on my face), but my excitement for this team isn't in the results but the changes. I'm willing to put up with some ARGH ARGH moments in September, but at least they'll be playing to win instead of looking like they're trying. [Title]

Output: Here's the thing


Input: [Date] 18 hours 49 min ago [Body] I don't think it's going to be "brutal" in any way that'll get dudebros salivating. It's football, not SEAL training, and while Harbaugh is crazy, I don't think he's a sadist. What I expect to see is expectation. One thing I thought Hoke was particularly wishy-washy about was what he expected from the players. At times he talked about toughness but then he treats QB more like a rite of passage than a competition. Here's the thing -- Harbaugh wants to know who wants to play footbaww. He doesn't need to crack the whip to find that out. He just needs to make it clear that the players' effort will decide who plays, and from there it'll be clear enough who really wants to be out there. How? Well, for starters, he added like a half a dozen QBs to the roster. Harbaugh doesn't need to lift a finger to get Shane Morris to try. Starting this week, that's what Jake Rudock will be doing. [Title]

I drove for a year in Japan and (as I learned to drive in the U.S.) the first few weeks were terrifying. Everything's closer together, sight lines are short, you can't break your concentration for half a second. I come back to the states and I'm bored while everyone around me is terrified.

Input: [Date] 4 days 17 hours ago [Body] Well, that was a depressingly predictable response. I thought I made it quite clear why it happened. It was a cultural adjustment.

Input: [Date] 4 days 19 hours ago [Body] "It's just insane that grown men contact these KIDS! " Um. . . OK? What's wrong with this whole thing isn't that grown-ups are contacting kids. It's that the wrong grown-ups are contacting kids for the wrong reasons. If your only business with a kid is to see him wearing your school colors, STFU and GTFO. It's every bit as creepy to me if someone stalks Tom Brady to get him to play for the Jets or whatever (and not just because it's the Jets), but even though the motivations are EXACTLY the same, that's just dismissed as rabid fandom. To me, the issue here isn't age but psychopathic fandom. These people have lives; mind your own goddamn business. Adults not talking to kids only exists in America because everyone's convinced a grown-up who even gives a kid the time of day outside a classroom is a pedophile. Kids need grown-ups. They're inexperienced, they're vulnerable, they have a lot to learn, and WANT to learn. In fact it's almost heart-breaking when I saw how lost some of them were. I used to be fearless about age; I'd just as happily converse with someone who's 80 as 8. People were people. But I eventually stopped talking to anyone who didn't look at least in their mid-20s and it was only because I had to start protecting myself. I never once had this problem when I lived overseas. Here, now it's just the creeps who do the talking, because everyone else got tired of being treated like one. Even if the off-the-charts phobia wasn't an issue, I still don't follow recruits not because they're in high school, but because they're people. Basic respect for others, FFS. Until they're on the roster I have absolutely no business knowing what they do, let alone tell them. [Title]

Inactivity is a bad thing during a crisis, but neither do you want change for change's sake. You know how to tell when an organization is running smoothly? When the guy at the top legitimately doesn't have much to do. I think Hackett will get us there quickly, at which point I hope he has the smarts to take his foot off the throttle. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 days 6 hours ago [Body] Michigan is no slouch when it comes to revenue and I get that this is only fair, but paying Army feels weird. Yes, I know federal budgeting isn't straightforward and this isn't to bury this thread in civics, but c'mon. . . their school gets money from the Department of the Treasury. Feels like throwing a Zippo into the Sun. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 days 15 hours ago [Body] To add a positive note to all the OSU picks, fantasy drafts favor predictability. And yes, OSU's coming off a championship season and UM's coming off a down year. But this is also a Harbaugh Effect. Harbaugh is known to play Mad Scientist with his roster and this is his first year. We don't know who's going to be the RB, the leading receiver just might be Peppers and dammit that guy will put the punter on the D-line if he thinks it'll get him some sacks. For the team's prospects that's great, and it makes me excited for the upcoming season, but it makes the current roster a toxic radioactive minefield for fantasy drafts. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 week 14 hours ago [Body] When I think "donkey hater" I imagine Jake Long or Walter Jones. Lewan was the archetype NFL left tackle, excellent in pass pro and solid in run, PWNs lesser guys and battles #1 pick WDEs to stalemate (when he's actually called upon to block them). But IIRC, it wasn't like he was a train plow out there. I bring up the distinction because whether or not we send runs to the left side will depend on how well our left tackles run block. I know that's bloody obvious, but the thing about left* side runs are: 1) Harbaugh loves 'em (Stanford often ran to the left) and 2) You either got guys you can count on to do it, or you don't. *With Harbaugh, "left" and "weakside" aren't always or even often the same thing. If he puts two TEs on the left side, it ain't "weakside" anymore. [Title]

Output: Was Lewan that much of a donkey-hater?


Input: [Date] 1 week 17 hours ago [Body] Article was great for casuals, served to remind me that I gotta cool down. I'm geeked for this season, even as I expect the team will struggle. The program isn't change schemes so much as philosophies, and in a way that's actually much bigger. But enduring the growing pains will be worth it just to see the team move differently. Over the past several years I've gotten tired of watching so many plays where they left yards on the field. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Body] Greetings, oh Crazy One. May your hats ever bountifully release mercury fumes. I've heard "D&D for Sports Nerds" from actual gamers as a sort of nerd revenge, but I think it sells D&D short. If you're playing D&D just to mash stats, you're basically playing a fantasy video game without the help of a CPU. I steer those kids toward Diablo. That's one thing I don't get about fantasy football, though. Unless you're gambling or something, it strikes me as a more restrictive and more cumbersome version of a video game. [Title]

Output: So I figured


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Body] At Stanford, Harbaugh's best CB was a converted WR and his MLB was a fullback. With few exceptions you'd have to be crazy to draft Michigan when the roster's just been taken over by that mad scientist. [Title]

Output: See my post above


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Body] Not sure if you're just being snarky, but if you need some cheering up. . . Fantasy drafts are the polar opposite of NFL drafts. NFL drafts are more like selective lotteries where once you're past the "sure things" -- the few and often no guys with unquestioned talent, smarts AND elite work ethic -- many of the first-round picks are dreams of highly unlikely stardom hedged by free agent signings. That's why there are so many first-round busts and undrafted starters. There's no depth to a fantasy draft, so everyone's avoiding risks. The thing about Michigan is that for all the Harbaugh uber alles said with sincerity here, the ENTIRE TEAM is one huge question mark right down to who's playing where. It's very likely as teams OSU will do worse and Michigan will improve, but with the mad scientist running things you could draft Darboh at WR only to find Harbaugh made him the punter. OK I'm exaggerating. Slightly. You get the point. Right now, drafting Michigan is a minefield. Long story short, this has nothing to do with hope or despair, allegiance or betrayal. July is frankly a very crazy time to do a college Draftageddon, but I think that's a feature here, not a bug. Analytically, it's at best a measure of player volatility, and right now by a HUGE margin no roster more volatile than Michigan's. (But then, that #1 pick. . .) [Title]

Output: Keep in mind


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Body] I don't see any sharks built like they can handle outside tackle. They don't drive well, but I like their lateral movement, so I'd put them on the left side of the line. In an unbalanced line they'd be good as a third guard in the middle, so put them in the OMG position on the LOL. But if you ask me, I think they make better BBQ. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 15 hours ago [Body] Hells yeah. Not everyone needs to be a star. If this guy is consistently in the right place at the right times and gets in the way of his man, that's one less OL to worry about. This is the encouraging bit: "He can think on his feet, with the defense a moving object that he reacts to quickly." It's easy to say in hindsight that a guy should've been a few inches farther this way and his head pointed that way and his feet here and on and on, but that's damn hard to do when everything's blowing up everywhere. The way I see it, you drill the fundamentals, rep the plays, and teach the concepts. That last part is all brain. You don't drill, drill, drill because then once the defense does something you don't expect, you're dead. [Title]

There's also staff to consider. Point is, there's an awful lot of flexibility here. That said, I think your concern is very justified. I joked about it upthread, but I'd definitely want to audit the apparel side of the contract. $80.2 mil ain't a lot if Nike writes off $1000 for each pair of spikes just to inflate the numbers. I'm not TOO concerned though. We're not buying anything; as I understand it that's just the valuation of what Nike's giving us as part of what to them is basically a marketing campaign. Also, Hackett so far has shown he's no fool. [Title]

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Agreed, it's a crazy sport with crazy parents. Add anonymity to that and it can be extremely cancerous. One other thing I would like to add is that this website/board was well known by everyone involved in hockey in the Detroit area. It got really bad for many involved and I know multiple coaches that instituted rules for their teams that if they even suspected a player or parent posting on the board, they could be kicked off. I know a Honeybaked coach that followed through with that rule. I wish that my son's head coach last year would have done the same. Live and learn. [Title]

Output: Agreed, it's a crazy sport


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I can tell you from firsthand experience that this board was not moderated at all, plus had a large fault of allowing people to be completely anonymous. This led to a lot of defamation and unfounded claims that were very damaging to a lot of teams and organizations. It got so bad that around March 2015, the board was halted by Network54. It has since come back up and is now moderated better and there is some registration requirement now to post. My firsthand experience is that my son was on a team that the head coach was talked about so horribly that it caused a lot of problems with the team and parents. Most claims were unfounded or blatantly false, but it led to game cancelations, tournament drop outs, and eventually the disolvement of our team. This was even more troubling because we were a high level team that was able to compete with AAA teams, which is likely why we were singled out so harshly. [Title]

My wife's #16 jersey may have recently been worn by DR, but it had its ties to Arrington and Navarre before him. If I buy the #1 jersey, who gets that money?

Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Body] How many players make a U millions of dollars? How do you discern how to pay those amateur players? How do you define exactly how much that athlete made the U and how much that is worth in pay? There really is not fair system. The answer is go pro. "Jack" may be getting paid the same now, but he won't when the star athlete goes pro and he doesn't. Same as college, the ones that do great and can convert these skills they continued to develop into great things get paid more when they leave and go pro (in a general sense). Anyone is more than welcome to correct me if I am wrong here with my example, but say a research student at a U comes up with some novel way to cure some disease, or track terrorists through satellite, or whatever. It makes the U millions. Does the student get the money too? How about all the others that had a part in it? [Title]

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

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

Crable is on IR as the previous poster stated, but from what I had gathered his special teams performance was lacking and one reason he hadn't seen any playig time even prior to his shin injury.

Output: I don't get all the misgivings re: this hire. I work in medicine and the first doctor I trained under was in his late 60s and behind on some of the newer things. Does this mean I do everything like him now? No. I develop my own techniques and knowledge based on the multitude of others I have worked with and trained under. I'm sure Coach Tolbert did the same. I'd trust Coach Harbaugh to know what's best for the program.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 6 days ago [Title] My view [Body]

Output: I worked several years with D-1 programs and the coaches who I saw get the most from their players were the ones who connected with them. You could see it at Friday nights dinners and pre game meals and meetings. Those kids just had a look in their eyes like they would run through a wall for that coach.

Input: [Date] 40 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] Strength and Conditioning [Body]

Output: When I see the OL from Wisonsin, Nebraska, etc I see men out there. Our OL still looks like a bunch of fat high school kids. Yes I have seen pictures of Green shirtless and such but great physique does not always equal football strength. I see our front seven getting pushed around and I think this comes from poor technique and lack of overall strength. It starts in the winter and summer programs and I hope one area that is changed is the weight room.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Not one player [Body]

Output: There is not one player on this team who deserves a legends jersey. No #1, no #2. I like Ryan but he is playing out of position. No one on that team is playing up to anything. Just a bad football team

Output: The team is struggling and things have been rough. Former players want to come this weekend, a big weekend mind you, and show support and people somehow turn this into an orchestrated puppet show by Dave Brandon. No where does it mention him! Ever think the former players wanted to do this on their own? Let's Go Blue!! Beat Penn St!!


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Agree [Body]

Output: People are looking for any reason to bash the AD and the athletic department. Ever think the football players hear the boycott crap and get tired of it? That the team really does want fans there and those fans to be loud and get them hyped? Be positive, show up and cheer for a great game. Go blue!


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Dumb idea [Body]

Output: I don't watch Dave Brandon. I don't watch Brady Hoke. I watch Michigan Football. I think recruit Grant Newsome said (paraphrasing) "I didn't commit to the University of Brady Hoke. I committed to the University of Michigan". This whole boycott Maryland was the most idiotic thing on this board this week, created by the creator of this board who now says he'll wait and see what happens. Show up, cheer and and be a supporter....not a whiney ass. Go Blue!


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Huh? [Body]

Output: You're assuming the student athletes are unhappy. Have you seen the facilities? The plans for renovations? Folks-we're not very good at football right now. I hope they turn it around and play well this weekend. Here's to great game Saturday and GO BLUE!!


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] Pathetic [Body]

Output: This fan base, specifically mgoblog, has lost its mind. You don't get the blood from the coach so you now turn your wrath to the athletic trainers and physicians? Its bad enough to read posts about boycotting games, wearing red and ripping tickets in half. What's next? Are you sure Shane's helmet was fit properly? Should we go after the equipment managers too?

Output: Going to a Michigan football game is something I cherish. The crowd, the helmets, the banner, the Victors. I won't miss one minute of Michigan football. I'll yell as loud as possible when the band comes out that tunnel and when the Victors is played. Michigan football is more than Brady Hoke. More than Dave Brandon. There are a 100+ young men who get one shot at this in their lives and I'll be backing them 100%.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Bogus [Body]

Output: This is the kind of talk that infuriates me. To call someone a piece of shit is ridiculous. By all accounts, people say he is a good, decent man. He supports the kids, the university and the philanthropic events they do. You may say you think he is an awful coach or should be fired. I think he should have taken Morris out even earlier. Lay off the piece of shit comments and find better ways to describe your viewpoint,


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] Personal experience [Body]

Output: I once worked college football and in our coach's 3rd year we had 50+ freshmen and RS freshmen on the roster. This was due to the previous staff's horrible recruiting and "win it now" attitude by signing a bunch of JUCOs. We went 2-9 that year. 3 later that same group won the IAA national championship. Young talent takes time to develop. We'll get there.

Input: [Date] 1 year 7 weeks ago [Title] good cause [Body]

Output: I too encourage people to register. I did so early last year when a friend's teenage daughter was diagnosed with a very aggressive leukemia. A selfless person became a match for her and she underwent a bone marrow transplant early last summer. At one point, she was hooked up to a device (ECMO) to keep her alive and given a less then 10% chance to survive. This past weekend, her family celebrated her high school graduation and she will on her way to college in the fall. Without the bone marrow transplant, it would have been a sadly different story. Its very easy to do. Just a cheek swab and mail it back in. Another website is bethematch.org.

Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] A little story [Body]

Output: I have faith in this staff (maybe except Borges) because of something I experienced years ago. I was an athletic trainer at a IAA school. We were two years removed from a senior laden conference championship team. All those players left and we were now a team with 54 true and redshirt freshmen. Our first staff meeting, the HC ended it by saying be patient and be prepared for a bad year. Just not going to be pretty. We ended up 2-9. Fast forward 3 years and those young guys matured and grew up to win the national championship. Michigan is young and I believe has the potential to grow up and do great things. In the meantime, have patience and support the maize and blue. Beat the bucks!!


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] one play [Body]

Output: 3rd and 5 and run the option with the fullback as the pitch man. Sigh...... I am finally on the fire Borges side. Now.....Beat OSU!


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] A [Body]

Output: This is a very young football team. Hoke and staff are going in the right direction. Remember "the team" speech by Bo. I will support the Maize and Blue. It's time to prop the team up and get ready for next week. Go blue!!!


Input: [Date] 1 year 51 weeks ago [Title] Great photo [Body]

Output: It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine!


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Weber [Body]

Output: I purchased an 18.5 weber this winter. Love it! Highly recommend it. For great advice on grilling, smoking and all things BBQ go to amazingribs.com. It's run by a guy named Meathead. I find his recipes, tips and advice spot on. And if you have a question he's quick and friendly to respond.


Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I've worked in orthopedics [Body]

Output: I've worked in orthopedics for 8 years and do my best to treat most problems conservatively. This is one where I feel surgery is the best option. Minimal risk, quick recovery, predictable outcomes. You can try anti-inflammatories and/or injection but these probably work 10% of the time. Best of luck!


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] Thank you for sharing your [Body]

Output: Thank you for sharing your story. God bless your son, your family and all the wishes for a healthy young Wolverine!!


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Title] I lost my dog and best friend [Body]

Output: I lost my dog and best friend back in February after a post op infection became very bad. We were pals for 11 years. I will keep you and wife and dog in my thoughts tonight. Best of luck!


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] I will continue to support [Body]

Output: I will continue to support Michigan football. I will watch every week, cheer enthusiastically, rejoice with wins and feel bummed after a loss. And after the loss, I'll look forward to next week. It's what I am. A Michigan alum, Michigan fan.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Spoken like someone who [Body]

Output: Spoken like someone who understands the spirit of college athletics. Nice job out of you.


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Nice comments from RR [Body]

Output: Give RR some credit for being classy here. This isn't article about Michigan or his thoughts on the program, but its about his thoughts on a charismatic young man and terrifc athlete we have all had the pleasure watching over the last couple years. There probably is great respect both ways.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] He came back after a few [Body]

Output: He came back after a few plays. They were just doing direct snap to whoever they put in.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Non-Michigan game [Body]

Output: Maryland just lost another QB


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Tough to treat [Body]

Output: I am former athletic trainer who used to work college football for 5 years. There isn't much to do other than keep asking the athlete if they're ready. Treating this type of problem on the sidelines is difficult. There isn't a quick fix. An injection can help but usually these are done with ultrasound guidance so as to take extreme care around the nerve. The nerve innervates the small muscles between the bones in the hand so this injury greatly affects grip. Unfortunately time is the best healer here and hopefully Denard is ready this weekend.


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] 1995 UM vs UVA [Body]

Output: After the dramatic win in the Pigskin Classic in '95, the students made attempts to rush the field. If I remember correctly, the police were a little harsh in their tatics to keep them off the field. Some even got arrested....a friend's brother had to go to court for it and pay a fine. They (the police and the Univeristy) received a lot of backlash from the Daily. Call it a PseudoRush.


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Denard wasn't set to be a [Body]

Output: Denard wasn't set to be a return man. He was in a position to block. Same as Wheatley. I concede if he were to return, could add a different look. But don't ask him to do something he isn't accustomed or built to do.


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Not a good idea [Body]

Output: If Denard were to get injured (fingers crossed) on a typical offense play...... Well, that is football. But on special teams? That's just poor decision making. I remember Tyrone Wheatley being injured on punt return. Hurt his shoulder & wasn't the same the rest of the year.


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Ok dude. We get it. Stop [Body]

Output: Ok dude. We get it. Stop posting.


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Title] I respect your right to voice [Body]

Output: I respect your right to voice an opinion but it's a deuchy one at best.


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Title] You sir.... [Body]

Output: Are a d-bag. Yes Denard was awful tonight. But geez give the young man some credit. He has won multiple games for Michigan. He stayed when he could have left. He has been an exemplary UM student athlete. Lighten up.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Get a grip [Body]

Output: It was a loss!! One loss!! Our program isn't going to be removed from the big 10, the stadium isn't being closed and guess what..... The sun still came up today over the Eastern sky. Negativity of the fan base is mind blowing. Have faith the coaches will coach 'em up this week, they come out prepared and beat Air Force! Go Blue!!!


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Thank you. Someone with hope. [Body]

Output: Thank you. Someone with hope. We won't be playing anyone else near the caliber of talent the rest of the year.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Are you calling UM a cupcake? [Body]

Output: Are you calling UM a cupcake?


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Alabama is a great team. Give [Body]

Output: Alabama is a great team. Give them credit. Still think UM has great things ahead. In the words of Rick Flair "if want to be the man, you got to beat the man.". We're not going to beat them if we don't schedule them.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] We called 'em "shitty [Body]

Output: We called 'em "shitty freebies" but I always grabbed one and went straight to the back to read Punt/CounterPunt!


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Food and Beer [Body]

Output: Need something to calm me down. Will get occupied with beginning the BBQ at 7 am and smoking a nice pork shoulder for about 10-12 hrs. Popping open an Oberon to say goodbye to summer and hello Big Ten Ttile!


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Buffalo billiards [Body]

Output: BB I think is the 'official' bar of the alumni association. I have been a few times and it's always a good turnout. A few years ago it was the Pour House. You may want to check the alumni association website to be certain. Sorry I don't have a link.


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Title] Agree [Body]

Output: When I use tune in, sometimes it just plays commercials nonstop. Doesn't happen with other stations I listen to.


Input: [Date] 3 years 9 weeks ago [Title] First game freshman year we [Body]

Output: First game freshman year we painted our chests to spell out MICHIGAN.....with zinc oxide. It was 85 and very sunny. I was the G. Tan lines lasted til finals.


Input: [Date] 3 years 13 weeks ago [Title] Molk [Body]

Output: Molk to Indy soon?


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Title] That deserves an Oscar. Or an [Body]

Output: That deserves an Oscar. Or an Emmy.


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Good memory [Body]

Output: Can you just imagine the unity felt by the team following that? Its one thing to be unified to win a Cup but that was the signature moment that put that team over the top. I had no idea it was Larinov involved n the beginning? Glad to see D-Mac stick it to the Turtle!


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Bells Oarsman Ale [Body]

Output: My champion is out before my niece's......and she has Murray St winning it all!


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] that was very cool [Body]

Output: I tended to favor size and defense. Ended up with Kansas, 'Cuse, UK and Louisville with Kansas winning over Kentucky.


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Title] As an undergrad I worked with [Body]

Output: As an undergrad I worked with UM hockey one full year. In one game against MSU Richard Keys ran Marty Turco behind the net. It was a malicious hit and totally uncalled for that nearly put Tuco out. Next game against Sparty in in the locker room pregame Red reminded the team of the hit and called out Keys. He told the guys if they got a chance for a hit, take it and make it count. And didn't mind if they got a penalty. Although he didn't want it dirty, but more in the flow of the game. Couldn't have been more than 5 min in and Jason Botterill went at with Keys and laid his ass out! So yeah Red will call it out, but only if provoked and not for a cheap shot.


Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Title] I bet Urban Meyer tries [Body]

Output: I bet Urban Meyer tries calling the White House the day before in hopes of getting Mr Obama to rethink his commitment for the visit.


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Did you just hear the [Body]

Output: Did you just hear the announcer say that one of the players isn't going to have to worry about cutting his fingernails since his arms will drag on the ground as he walks to class? I know he's talking about wingspan but c'mon. That's cutting it close.


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

Output: Love the shirts. Know at all if the sizes run on the big side?


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Title] I like it because I like to [Body]

Output: I like it because I like to listen Gus Johnson on back to back nights.


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Consistency [Body]

Output: The problem with the NCAA is there is no consistency. Its so arbitrary and there are no real 'rules' about punishment. Look at how the punishment USC received will vary from that of Ohio. I, for one, believe money plays a huge part in all this. Ohio is a big name school, plays on the major sports network and brings in lots of money. Not to say USC isn't big time, but being on the West Coast I don't think they bring as much attention as Ohio. FWIW, too, vacating wins is the biggest joke of a penalty. Damn right I still say UM hoops made the Final Four in 1993.


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Fellow Dukes and Wolverines [Body]

Output: I am a former grad student/employee of JMU, now living in Fredericksburg. I'll be heading to the game and will begin camping out at Buffalo Wild Wings on Arlington just off of Emmett St at about 3 pm. I'll be there with someone who still works at JMU but roots for UVa. Oh well. Meet up and have a beverage. GO BLUE!!


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] For anyone going to the game, [Body]

Output: For anyone going to the game, Buffalo Wild Wings on Arlington St just off Emmett is a close walk to JPJ Arena. Would be great to have a group of MGoCommunity members there pre-game. The DC Alumni Association is having a reception at the Darden School.


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] He's objecitonal with a play [Body]

Output: He's objecitonal with a play on the field for the msot part. However, I found him highly critical of UM players and overly enthusiastic about Ohio people dressed in shoulder pads. For example, his comment about how if you think Denard is electric wait until you see Miller in an Urban Meyer spread offense.


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Wonder what the monetary [Body]

Output: Wonder what the monetary difference is between Capital One Bowl and Sugar Bowl?


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Excellent story. When I [Body]

Output: Excellent story. When I read "Perkins" and "Hostess" my mind really began to wander and wonder where this was headed, aka Tiger.


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Anyone, any where and any [Body]

Output: Anyone, any where and any time.


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I enjoy your witty comment! [Body]

Output: I enjoy your witty comment!


Input: [Date] 3 years 36 weeks ago [Title] This is just....... [Body]

Output: fabulous. Excellent work!


Input: [Date] 3 years 36 weeks ago [Title] My first trip to Columbus as [Body]

Output: My first trip to Columbus as an 18 year old freshman was in April 1993. My friends and I went to a bar. Everyone got a stamp on their hand. Those of us not of drinking age were stamped with "Fuck Michigan". It was then that I deemed Columbus to be the armpit of America.


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] 2 reasons I like Coach Hoke [Body]

Output: 1) He admits fault. He made a mistake. Hopefully he learns from it. Its a good teaching point to the players. 2) He uses words like "funner".


Input: [Date] 3 years 40 weeks ago [Title] I think you're spot on. I [Body]

Output: I think you're spot on. I look forward to the next few years and the rivalry growing. Now about the success of Dantonio, speak to me when MSU t-shirts start selling in Ann Arbor. Never in a million years do I think MSU jerseys will sell in Ann Arbor.


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Was Mr Zapruder at the game? [Body]

Output: Was Mr Zapruder at the game? There may be something from the grassy knoll. My bad didn't read one post down.....how embarassing.


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] In one of the threads [Body]

Output: In one of the threads yesterday I posted this exact same thought.....somehow they will delay the suspension until after the Wisconsin game. This is right out of the Jim Tressel playbook with Tat Gate and the Sugar Bowl. Jim Delaney could have stepped in then and he didn't do it. He's not going to do it now. He cares more about possibly having a 'good game' than what is doing the right thing. The B1G should have a standard rule: you throw a punch, landed or not landed, you're ejected from that game and suspended the next. No appeals. If Mike Martin or Denard Robinson did it the week before playing Ohio, I would feel the same way. Sorry....you screwed up now. Face the consequences.


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] The presser tomorrow is to [Body]

Output: The presser tomorrow is to announce that Dantonio is sending film to the B1G to a address how Denard Robinson can wear such a big face mask that gets in the way of MSU players hands. Fer Gawds Sake....it nearly broke Tom's pinky finger!!


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] I wouldn't be surprised if he [Body]

Output: I wouldn't be surprised if he were suspended for their game following Wisconsin, ala a page out of tOSU and Tressel's book with his guys, Tat Gate and the Sugar Bowl.


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] I'm really excited for [Body]

Output: I'm really excited for basketball season. I wish Morris had stayed but I think Belien has this team pointed in the right direction. Should be a fun season!


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] I didn't like them. I'm not [Body]

Output: I didn't like them. I'm not an old man (at least I don't think 37 is old) but I am a fan of keeping it simple. Keep the uniforms the same year in and year out, like Penn St and Alabama. I want the young men playing the game to concentrate on blocking, tackling, and running the football not looking in the mirror admiring what their throwbacks look like. I used to work in college athletics and I remember a game were the guys were arguing about high socks vs short socks before a game we should have won by a mile. Instead we lost 9-7. I can still hear coach yelling "Socks! Gosh darned socks!".


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Very well put. Now all of [Body]

Output: Very well put. Now all of you with your finger on the panic button, take a deep breath and step away.


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] one up you on that [Body]

Output: JT Floyd makes that tackle on 3rd down when Sparty scores their 2nd TD (I believe) and the D forces MSU to kick a FG the whole 2nd half changes. UM played poorly, didn't execute and, IMO, was poorly coached. That being said, they had chances to win. Hopefully, look at the film, educate, coach, learn and DON'T overreact, they'll come out ready for the 2nd half of the season.


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] I agree [Body]

Output: Yes it hurts to lose to MSU. It hurts to lose any game. That being said, I like what this staff and these players are putting together. Having Denard try to run a pro style set is like putting a square peg in a round hole. I'm sure Denard thought about this last year when Hoke was hired. But the young man did something better than I'd say a lot of us would. He put aside the temptation to go to another school where he could put up huge numbers and make himself even more of a superstar. He decided to stay. Stay for his teammates, stay for his education, stay for his love of Michigan. Listen to Bo's Team Speech. he said we won't speak bad about each other, we'll pick each other up. This is what this Team needs now more than ever. Thanks to the OP for the thread.


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Watch the video closely. [Body]

Output: Watch the video closely. Matthews kicks his leg out and hits the Oregon player in the inner right thigh. The Orgeon player then pulls his left leg up and grabs his left knee. Compraing this to what Gholston did is not even close. Both are acts that do not belong in the game of football but the difference is that Gholston did it with the INTENT on injuring Robinson. Gholston should be suspended at least 1 one game, similar to what the Illionois player got a couple of weeks ago when they played Northwestern.


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] No. That is all. [Body]

Output: No. That is all.


Input: [Date] 3 years 43 weeks ago [Title] 1995 Summer Football Camp [Body]

Output: Bo gave a speech to all the high school campers during the middle of football Michigan's football camp. It was hot, humid and miserable with all of the kids gathered in the Track and Field Building. Bo got up to the podium and spoke about sports in America. He went on and on about football and what a great sport and how other sports couldn't compare. He ended with the phrase I have below. You would have thought the roof was going to come off that place! I was working as support staff for that camp in sports medicine and I was ready to go suit up!


Input: [Date] 3 years 43 weeks ago [Title] He called Denard "svelty'. [Body]

Output: He called Denard "svelty'.


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Hopkins [Body]

Output: After fumbling today, I think Hopkins is done. For him to see the field on offense its going to have to be as a blocking fullback. Any carries will come in garbage time if the game is out of hand. The missed field goal...AARRRRGGHHH!!!! I'm erasing the 2nd half from memory and only remembering the 1st half. A win is a win and so its a great weekend to be a Wolverine.


Input: [Date] 3 years 46 weeks ago [Title] The Free Press reported that [Body]

Output: The Free Press reported that one fan did have a heart attack and was in stable but critical condition at the hospital. Hopefully he will make a successful recovery and be back in the stands soon.


Input: [Date] 3 years 47 weeks ago [Title] I'm in agreement. Great [Body]

Output: I'm in agreement. Great honor, nice job and a good win. However....I'll be curious to see what the game film shows. Herron was in the right place at the right time on 2 HUGE plays but he also seemed to be out of postion and had his back to the ball on several pass plays. During the game, I actually made the comment to my brother that Herron was going to be named Big 10 Defensive Player of the Week (guessed wrong there) but really wasn't playing too well overall.


Input: [Date] 3 years 49 weeks ago [Title] natural disasters [Body]

Output: I live 30 miles from the epicenter of Tues quake and now I am under a 'tropical storm warning'. This has been the damn strangest week of my life. Someone at work today asked if I have the essentials stocked up. Yep.... a case of beer, 2 bottles of wine. Should be good. On the bright side, I did have the feeling that with the earthquake and a hurricane I had every right to call that little hottie who told me she would only go out with me if the end of the world was coming.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] Its not as simple as it [Body]

Output: Its not as simple as it sounds to pay players. With Title IX it makes it virtually impossible. If you pay the football player, you have to pay the field hockey player, the member of the crew team, etc. You have to pay them equal as well or the university could lose risk losing federal funding. And how do you decide who gets what? Does the 5 star recruit get more than the 2 star? And what if the 5 star is a bust? Do you decrease his pay? Does the recruit get paid more for going to UM over WMU or CMU? As someone who had to work to pay for school and borrow I feel a scholarship is more than worth it.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 day ago [Title] I don't like to think of it [Body]

Output: I don't like to think of it as arrogance. We (meaning Michigan) are simply better than you (meaning everyone else).


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 days ago [Title] Drink the Kool-aid. Its [Body]

Output: Drink the Kool-aid. Its tasty.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] I can say from experience as [Body]

Output: I can say from experience as a former athletic trainer at a DI-AA football program it is very difficult to get football players to wear helmets that are more protective. The athletic trainers and equipment managers are in full support of better helmets......no matter what they look like. Problem is the players go to the coach who goes to the AD or the VP who will almost always back the coach. Its an uphill battle. Hopefully as more research is completed and the concussion institute at BU makes more progress it won't be such a tough hill to climb.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] I agree with the above post [Body]

Output: I agree with the above post re: Title IX. You would have to pay all student athletes, male and female, or risk losing federal funding. The complications with paying players are enormous. Could you imagine the recruiting the process? Do schools like UM or OSU pay their players more than say WMU or EMU? Does a five star recruit get paid more than a four star? What if that 5 star kid is a bust? Do you take money away? Its too early in the am for this......


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] I don't get it. What's the [Body]

Output: I don't get it. What's the fascination with wanting to contact 17 or 18 year old kids? Wanting to follow them on twitter and give them advice? Is your name Ted Sarniak? Agree with above post: if Coach Hoke or staff wanted your help they would ask for it. They seem to be alright for themselves.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Is that like that 16 lb baby [Body]

Output: Is that like that 16 lb baby recently born in Texas? I hear Saban made an in-nursery visit.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] See my post below your's for [Body]

Output: See my post below your's for a great grilling website. I did it on a barrel shaped grill. I don't have an offset smoker...I had to add charcoal 2 or 3 times. Took about 10 1/2 hrs. Hardest part was trying not to get too drunk while I soaked in the fabulous smell of slow smoked pork while sitting out on the deck. Enjoy!


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] best website ever..... [Body]

Output: er 2nd best behind mgoblog. Check out amazingribs.com. Awesome recipes, grilling tips and advice. I have made the ribs, pulled pork, steaks, burgers and beer can chicken. Absolutely awesome.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] He went for one [Body]

Output: He went for one semester...fall 1992. He lived in Markley Hall. I remember seeing him in the cafeteria with lots of chicks at his table. Man, was I jealous.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Purdue 1995 [Body]

Output: I remember that game so well. It was so crappy out none of the guys I lived with wanted to go. Early in the morning I went to Ulrich's to buy the book/video (yes, that's VHS) combo titled "Hail to the Victors: Greatest Moments in Michigan Football History". By the time we finished watching the video, we were so fired up, we couldn't wait to get to the stadium. A couple of weeks later Bo was doing a book signing at Briarwood, so he and Brandstatter signed it for me. Still one of my most prized belongings.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Magnus is correct [Body]

Output: I used to work as an athletic trainer for a D-I football program. Current athletes are protected by a university insurance policy for injuries that occur while doing something related to their sport. The university will pay for the diagnostic tests, surgery whether it is on or off campus. The rehab is usually taken care of by the trainers at the school. If the injury happens prior to enrollment or non-sport related (ie drunk and stupid) then the athlete is responsible for the cost of everything. Rehab can be done once the athlete is enrolled.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] I posted earlier in the [Body]

Output: I posted earlier in the Jordan Diamond post about my concerns re: contacting recruits via twitter. I used to work in college athletics and thought this smelled fishy. I had a friend who used to be the complaince director where I worked give me his interpretation. He felt it was impermissable and would could get the potential student athlete and the university in trouble. STAY AWAY FROM CONTACTING RECRUITS BY TWITTER OR ANY OTHER MEANS!!!! If you care about UM, you will leave those kids alone and let coaches do the selling on traditions, success, etc. NCAA BYLAW 13.4.1.2 -- Electronic Transmissions Effective Date: Aug 01, 2007 "communication with or about a prospective student-athlete in the public's view (e.g., Twitter "@replies" or "mentions") is contrary to the publicity legislation and also constitutes an impermissible form of electronic communication with a prospective student-athlete."


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] NCAA violation? [Body]

Output: I believe contacting a recruit to encourage him to attend a school is or could be a violation of NCAA rules. I'd be careful about this one.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Have a Happy 4th of July [Body]

Output: Have a Happy 4th of July reading this free website and with your ability to come and go as you please.....you commie bastard!


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Getting it started [Body]

Output: First, I got the morning going by adding some leftover pulled pork to my scrambled eggs. Next up will smoking some ribs. Low and slow my friends. For the best advice and information on grilling, checkout www.amazingribs.com. Fabulous. And will be finishing it off with some Oberon. Even in Virginia, we can get it! God Bless America!


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] What amazes me is how we're [Body]

Output: What amazes me is how we're looking at that we're going to get 2 out of the 3 between Pipkens, O'Brien and Aziz. What a great position to be in! Long live the Power of Hoke!


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] About that quote.... [Body]

Output: When I was in school, '92-'96, the entire quote, forgive my memory but includes something like this: the wolf that shall keep it may prosper but the wolf that shall break will die.... was painted on the team defensive meeting room in Schembechler Hall. I worked in athletics for a couple of years and was in that room often. I always thought that was a great quote and well placed for the defense.


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 weeks ago [Title] I enjoyed the part about [Body]

Output: I enjoyed the part about Ernie Harwell on the radio. I can still see (and hear) my dad out in the garden listening to the game from a small black radio that we had to use at least 2 extension cords to reach the house. Miss those days.


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Thinking back when I was a [Body]

Output: Thinking back when I was a young lad, I could have cared less about a mascot. I wanted to see Bo yell, Jamie Morris run, Greg Skrepenak dominate, and Mark Messner destroy people. If I had seen Sparty back then, I would have kicked him in the shin.


Input: [Date] 4 years 7 weeks ago [Title] I sit in Row 52. Excellent [Body]

Output: I sit in Row 52. Excellent view all the way down the field. I love watching the play open up and see the blocks develop. IMO, its Michigan Stadium......Not a bad seat in the house.

Output: I thought Ralphie was the kid who was warned about shooting his eye out with a BB gun?

Output: Does an apology equal an admission of guilt? Not there was ever any doubt in our mind...... I wish he would have to go before the NCAA.


Input: [Date] 4 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Its still a little too early [Body]

Output: Its still a little too early define the Dave Brandon era. Overall, I'd say so far its going well. Think about what he has had to do:1) guide us (at least partly) through the Jihad and the NCAA mess and 2) hire a new football coach. I think UM came out OK with the NCAA and we'll see about the Hoke hire which at least so far has everyone thinking positively. Don Canham was a little out there back in the 70s with his ideas about marketing and promotion. By the end, he was considered one of the most successful and even powerful people in college athletics. Going back to my era, as long DB doesn't hang K-mart lettering around the Stadium, I'll be happy.


Input: [Date] 4 years 8 weeks ago [Title] So in actuality this means [Body]

Output: So in actuality this means 'good news'.


Input: [Date] 4 years 8 weeks ago [Title] I am hopeful [Body]

Output: this is true as this would be the final nail. HOWEVA.... 'former friend who witnessed it'?? Only thing worse would be jilted ex-baby mama.


Input: [Date] 4 years 10 weeks ago [Title] I got mine [Body]

Output: Friday afternoon which was a mural fathead signed by Charles Woodson. I know my brother got his email today confirming him for a preseason scrimmage.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Wait 2 more days? [Body]

Output: As in perhaps the OSU Rapture?


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I for one... [Body]

Output: am super excited about this game! I live in VA and have great friends who are UVa alums. Can't wait! GO BLUE!!


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Hoops recruiting [Body]

Output: What I like about Beilein's recruiting is he can find top talent before its top talent. Morris, Hardaway were not big time talent out of high school. They were good players but not Duke or Kansas recruits. He can catch them early, coach 'em up and look how we did against Duke and KU.....not wins but we're getting there. Basketball is a team sport and he's building a good team.


Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Title] why my brother is the best [Body]

Output: For some reason, the night they clinched the first Cup, I thought it would be a good idea to drink G & Ts the whole night. By the beginning of the 3rd period I was so drunk, I crawled in to my bed and prayed for the spinning to stop. My brother came in and got me up at end of the game and said 'you're going to want to see this'. I was awake long enough to see Stevie Y hoist the cup. I remember falling asleep to cheers up and down State St. Thanks again Mike.


Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Title] this from a friend: [Body]

Output: My best friend used to be AD for compliance at at Div I school (IAA football) and I posed this question to him re: OSU sanctions. His thoughts were the looming car scandal could be huge. If proven true, could lead to the dreaded 'lack of institutional control'. Again, his opinion, would mean loss of scholarships and bowl ban. Hopefully sanctions are in place prior to Commitment Day.


Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Screw the cup of coffee. I'm [Body]

Output: Screw the cup of coffee. I'm ready to roll.


Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Title] AJ Green et al [Body]

Output: with what happened to AJ Green, I can't believe the NCAA would not come down hard on these guys and the OSU athletic dept. in general. I worked in college athletics for nearly 10 years and one of my best friends used to be the compliance director. In his words.....'they're screwed'.


Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Title] Can we get that on ESPN? [Body]

Output: That young man, #16, makes me proud to be alum. I can guarantee you at his I wasn't writing letters to kids. More like trying to figure out ways how to get in to Mitch's and Scorekeepers.


Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Title] I would bet.... [Body]

Output: he turned down a tattoo. I thought the 'rule' was you're supposed to get one.


Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Title] here's a suggestion: [Body]

Output: Don't become concerned with what everyone else got and what anyone else needed to get in. Simply put forth the effort, do the best you possibly can do.


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Title] if you're wrong you must [Body]

Output: if you're wrong you must change your name to Michael Wilbon for eternity.


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Title] I used to work in college [Body]

Output: I used to work in college football and we played UMass every other year. I hope they upgrade their facilities. What a dump! only worse place was Northeastern.


Input: [Date] 4 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Drinking.... [Body]

Output: my sixth oberon. About to hit the kettle one. Can't ice that much in OT. Horrible shift change. Why? Why does God hate us so much?


Input: [Date] 6 hours 40 min ago [Title] If I Recall... [Body]

Output: If I recall this game correctly, I don't think the Rebels even managed 100 yards of net rushing, nor did they even get half of the - what was it - 715 yards of total offense from Michigan? I seem to remember some almost Tecmo numbers from some players. I also remember Desmond Howard having some crazy yards per reception numbers, something on the order of 25 yards or so.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 54 min ago [Title] Honestly... [Body]

Output: You go off the blog to do a little GISHWES craziness and some podcasting.... Stadium wide Harbaugh chant prior to the Oregon State game Yes, the chant discussion was disabled....rightfully so and by other MGoBloggers.


Input: [Date] 9 hours 52 min ago [Title] Quite Unlikely, I Think... [Body]

Output: Since 0-16 is a once in a lifetime thing and we've just seen the Lions do it a few years back...it is more likely to happen again! It's weird but freaky statistical things happen like that in close proximity Talent and coaching come into play here, and the Lions were a special kind of awful during that, oh, shall we say "perfect season that no one wants" indeed. Despite the numerous ominous changes in the 49ers roster, staff and so forth, I can't foresee them being quite that terrible. "Not good" seems likely perhaps, but even most such teams normally manage to fight a few out and end up on top.


Input: [Date] 11 hours 56 min ago [Title] It Depends... [Body]

Output: She did not disclose which facility the bird was sent to, saying it didn't need the undue attention that was sure to come with having taken the bird. If it is one of those white collar facilities where you get cable, a butler and free tennis lessons, I might very well get into a turkey costume and start wandering around North Campus myself.


Input: [Date] 12 hours 58 min ago [Title] Happy Birthday, Tom... [Body]

Output: Well, if there is anyone that could stand a more cheerful day in football lately, it might just be Tom Brady. I don't know that a Brady-worthy gift is quite in the budget, but tweeting out birthday wishes will hopefully suffice. I keep forgetting that Brady is less than a year older than me - not sure why except perhaps it is simply a rare event for someone to have had the career that he has had for as long as Brady has.


Input: [Date] 13 hours 15 min ago [Title] Interesting Article... [Body]

Output: But the events of his first off-season—such as seeking out meetings at the supreme court and the justices agreeing to see him—aren’t part of some grand strategy to restore Michigan to glory. Harbaugh himself says he isn’t trying to be popular or build any more buzz around his team. One of the best things about the Harbaugh era to date is that he really is not putting on a show for anyone - he really is simply being Jim Harbaugh - and every week, I think you have to ask yourself, "What will this man do next?". It seems to be a wonderful bonus feature of the Harbaugh era to date.


Input: [Date] 16 hours 37 min ago [Title] General Rule Is... [Body]

Output: Like some others, unless I am in the party or close to the person who is getting married, I generally will go to the game or stay home and watch it if it is away and just go to the reception later as it seems like most of the time the reception is starting around the time the game is ending - if the times coordinate at all, of course. I did actually miss the 2004 San Diego State game for a close friend's wedding, as well as the 2006 Wisconsin game for a family wedding, although at least that time I was in a hotel reception room (ceremony was in the hotel) and there was a bar.


Input: [Date] 19 hours 6 min ago [Title] One Month... [Body]

Output: It seems like we've waited for to get to even this point forever, but in reality it hasn't been all that long. I actually like the idea of media access to the practices being limited - they really don't need that distraction right now. It will make the speculation that much more rampant, but personally I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised by who gets the most playing time and where in some instances. You can almost see football from here, folks. Not much longer now.


Input: [Date] 1 day 10 hours ago [Title] Oddly Enough... [Body]

Output: Oddly enough, my wife swears by Cracker Barrel's reuben and she is A) from Chicago, and B) a 25 minute drive from Zingerman's as well as other decent reubens in Ann Arbor and Detroit. I am not sure how this is possible as my go-to places for reubens are all delis, but apparently this is one of those scenarios where I have to shrug and mutter "to each their own".

Output: Oregon's colors are determined by this in the form of a dart board from week to week:


Input: [Date] 1 day 13 hours ago [Title] As A Plan B... [Body]

Output: As a Plan B, in the event Ann Arbor is more or less booked for that game (which probably isn't the case for UNLV but you never know), there is plenty of reasonable lodging near Detroit Metropolitan Airport and to a lesser extent in neighboring Belleville (most of the hotels in Belleville do have airport shuttles), which is only about 20-25 minutes east of Ann Arbor along I-94. Otherwise, as other have mentioned, look arounf I-94 and State or Victors Way by Briarwood - plenty of options.


Input: [Date] 1 day 16 hours ago [Title] Silverstein... [Body]

Output: Silverstein is always an excellent choice - for many months at a stretch, all my kids wanted to hear was stuff out of "Where The Sidewalk Ends", "Falling Up", "A Light In The Attic" and his other works. I had not even touched them in years, but those poems have not lost a beat in my mind and I found that, at nearly 40, I was still enjoying them and laughing at them.
