Output: I like the way things are shaping up....denard and gardner ripping it up for a few years before making the transition back to elite pro-style qbs of the past. we'll be back to the brady/gerbac/henne/griese/hensen style nfl qb producing train

Input: [Date] 4 years 16 weeks ago [Title] He looks raw in his film, but [Body]

Output: He looks raw in his film, but seems to have the frame to become a great big ten TE. His film is focused mainly as a reciever, I'd like to see what he can do as a run blocker...if he keeps his pads low etc... With some coaching, I'm sure he could be a great weapon. It seems as though our recruiting is gaining some momentum...lets keep our fingers crossed!

Output: I believe the defense will make strides similar to the strides taken by the offense last year. Another year in the system and some young talent that was recruited to play the system should pay dividends.


Input: [Date] 4 years 51 weeks ago [Title] For a team that relies so [Body]

Output: For a team that relies so heavily on the spread option, it concerns me that a qb would not understand the importance of physical training. A year of treatment for a banged up shoulder should have taught him that. I dont know how serious the work ethic issue is, but chances are that if a team leader is bringing it up in a big ten presser...then it actually is a serious issue. Lets hope he takes comments like that as a challenge and steps up to prove everyone wrong.

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I'd feel worse for him staying on the Kings. Both franchises have been awful on the court, but the Sixers have a (very tenuous) path forward, which Nik could potentially be a part of. I don't see any evidence at all of such a path with Sacramento. [Title]

Output: I'd feel worse for him


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Yeah, I dunno, I'd probably decide on "better franchise" based on something along the lines of their respective chances of being late-round playoff teams in the next five or so years. By that metric, I'd go with the Sixers. Who could be all means continue being terrible. But given their assets -- lottery 5s and otherwise -- I think they def have a better chance of breaking through than do the Kings. [Title]

Output: Yeah, I dunno, I'd probably


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 2 days ago [Body] The occurance of disasters is an excellent prompt to donate, and I also encourage everyone who can to do so. I'd also encourage everyone to do some research about where their money is going and how it's likely to be used. Specifically, I'd strongly encourage givers to resist the urge in give in such a way that their money is earmarked for Nepalese disaster relief. The bottleneck in providing immediate disaster relief is generally not money (as we saw in post-earthquake Haiti, post-Sandy NY, post-tsunami Japan, etc.), and making generalized donations now can help improve the responses available for future disasters. Along these lines, Felix Salmon, in the aftermath of Sandy, made what I thought was a strong case for giving to MSF rather than the Red Cross: "Which isn’t to say that donating money is a bad idea, when disasters hit. But it is to say that donating money to the Red Cross might not be the best use of your dollars. My advice is to give instead to MSF, or an organization like it, which is dealing with disasters every day of the year. That gave them the experience ability to respond quickly when disaster struck in the USA — and it also means that if your money would be put to more urgent use somewhere else, like Zimbabwe or Honduras or Chad, then that’s where it will go. We should spend as much money as is needed here — but don’t force the matter and earmark $117 million for Sandy relief, when no one knows whether even the Red Cross thinks it can sensibly spend that much. The Red Cross didn’t need to promise to spend all that money on Sandy and Sandy alone, but it made that promise anyway." [Title]

Output: The occurance of disasters is


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Body] This point tends to get carried too far. No reasonable idea of usefulness would reduce to immediate and specific vocational preparation. Case in point: the training that a good student receives in a good philosophy department (cultivating, namely, the ability to think precisely and to manage complex ideas) can be of enormous value, both in a variety of employment contexts and in the general practice of citizenship. [Title]

To me, that would mean that I don't like the uniform. [Title]

Output: So in otherwords: you like


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I never played past high school, but I did manage to accumulate a fair amount of joint injury: a torn ACL/meniscus and four subsequent knee surgeries and continued wear left me unable to do anything ballistic with my legs at a young age, and I already have a fair amount of arthritis in that knee and same-side hip, both of which I assume will have to get replaced at some point going forward. I know that this pails in comparison to the joint injury/pain that a lot of guys go through, but I say it to establish the fact that I can appreciate the costs of joint damage. That said, I'm grateful that, aside from getting my bell rung a few times, I never accumulated much head trauma. I just see a qualitative difference between brain injury and bodily injury; bodily injury can alter your life, making it inconvenient and painful (in ways that I acknowledge can be pretty awful), but brain injury can fundamentally change who you are. And this is what I, and I assume others, find so frightening about the risk from concussions. I could see myself with full information trading a few years of playing a sport that I love for a future of moderate physical disability. I could never see myself making that trade for a future of middle-aged advanced dementia. [Title]

Output: Head injury vs. joint injury


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 6 days ago [Body] It's interesting to see this outcome after reading a really fascinating Grantland piece recently on advanced defensive metrics: http://grantland.com/features/department-of-defense/. Among other things, the article makes the case for Chris Paul as the best perimeter defender in the association. [Title]

I would care more about losing scouting content, but that content doesn't seem to me to be dependent on the element of the business model in question. [Title]

[Title]

Input: [Date] 21 weeks 3 days ago [Body] The 'certain definition of value' I referenced is the one that you presuppose: the one that centers entirely on the guy running the site. A piece of recruiting info also carries value for (at least some) of the people who absorb it, whether or not they pay. It also carries some (possibly negative) value for the players/coaches/families from which it was extracted. [Title]

Output: The 'certain definition of value' I referenced is


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Under a certain definition of 'value', yes. Also, I'm not entirely convinced by my own argument, but I'm much less convinced by your fact/opinion distinction, either with respect to its logical structure or its application to statements about what recruits will do. [Title]

Output: Under a certain definition of 'value', yes.Also,


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I dunno, man. I have a really hard time swallowing the notion of statements of fact about the world as property. Whatever the legal framework, items of prose seem to me to be qualitatively different from kernels of knowledge, and it seems to me that the latter can't properly 'belong' to anybody. Granted, there's a collective action problem here; if everybody gets info for free, then nobody gets paid to collect it, and everybody gets less recruiting bits. But I feel confident in saying that the socially optimal level of recruit pestering is way lower than what goes on now. [Title]

Output: I dunno, man. I have a really hard time swallowing

Input: [Date] 24 weeks 2 days ago [Body] The success of autodidacts doesn't mean that schools are useless. And I think we may have to agree to disagree on the interpretation of my experience; in my view, there is vanishingly little danger here, and the use of (very modest) university resources to encourage students to be less shitty than I was at times in undergrad seems reasonable. [Title]

Input: [Date] 24 weeks 2 days ago [Body] So if I'm Roma, and I'm kind of bummed out that my ethnic identity is used as a shorthand for fucking people over (an association that has been used as a pretext for my ancestors' systematic extermination at various points in history), I should realize that I'm part of the problem. Got it. [Title]

Input: [Date] 24 weeks 2 days ago [Body] The thing with a simple "be considerate" message is that many people (and I would place my 20-year-old self firmly in this camp) have no idea that some of the things they're saying actually are deeply incosiderate. I would regularly call things retarded, and I would regularly admonish my friends to not be such fags when they wouldn't want to go out in the cold and such. I don't do this anymore, not because I'm such a better person now, but because I realize now that I was being demeaning and shitty. [Title]

Output: The thing with a simple "be


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 2 days ago [Body] In requesting that people not say certain things because other people find them hurtful and demeaning, the university isn't providing a nudge to exercise self-control so much as it's letting people know that some of those things actually are hurtful and demeaning to others. I used to say a lot of things in friendly conversation that I now consider socially unacceptable and, with the exception of the occcasional slip up, rarely use. It's not because I'm so much more in possession of myself, but because I now realize in ways that I didn't before that I was kind of being an asshole. [Title]

Output: Self-control vs. understanding of context


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 2 days ago [Body] There is an enormous gap between 1) censoring ideas, and 2) requesting that people be civil to each other. The notion that my ability to formulate and openly argue for ideas is somehow compromised because Big Brother has asked that I not call anyone a fag is...not particularly compelling. [Title]

Output: Free thought


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Belle Waring: "98% of what people angrily claim is “Political Correctness” is just manners. Politeness. If something I were saying at a dinner party offended another guest and my host explained why, I would stop saying that thing, in all likelihood. I myself used to call things “retarded” all the time when I was a kid, and I carried it into adulthood, and then people on the internet made it clear that they found this hurtful and demeaning, so I stopped. I explained to my children, I have a left-over bad habit in that I will occasionally call something retarded and it’s not an appropriate thing to say; will you please correct me when I do it? Thinking about what I wanted my children to say helped me here. Likewise, although I don’t know that I said anything particularly unpleasant about it ever, I was comparatively ignorant about issues facing trans people until some years back. Does this make me angry because the word “cisgender” exists now? No, because I’m not an asshole." [Title]

Output: An onerous task: don't be an asshole

I'm assuming that you're objecting to the comments on race and racism because they cross the no-politics line. But I'd argue that discussing the stability of Grosse Pointe's elite status without acknowledging that the form of segregation from which it draws its status represents one of the biggest moral failings of 20th Century America is, at the very least, a tad political.

Yes, 22yos are often asked to bear tremendous military burdens, and we should all solemnly introduce this point in as many threads as possible.

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 23 hours ago [Body] I think my major issue with this is that people go to university to learn to become the person they are, they find their own views. If we start banning things because people are discomforted by them, it's a slippery slope to only having one accepted viewpoint. I haven't seen the movie, but I highly doubt it's "The Birth of a Nation: Part Two". I think if you don't like something, by all means speak out against it and say why you find it wrong. I draw the line when it comes to surpressing what you dislike. As far as the safety issue goes, I find it to be overblown. Racist assholes are going to be racist assholes, this movie is not going to change that for better or worse. Especially on a progressive campus like U of M. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] Yep. [Body]

Output: Brian, good for you. The quality of writing from the staff here is usually top-notch, and it was a shame to see it get crapped on by idiots on a regular basis. There seem to be only a few commenters here that actually offer useful insights; the rest is just an echo chamber of complaining, flaming, and animated GIFs. I would love to see an up-vote system where only the editors can vote... I'd like to see a curated collection of useful comments instead of having to wade through and endless stream of garbage. From someone who is mostly a lurker and just an occasional commenter, thanks for all that you and your staff do, and keep up the good work.


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] It's lack of experience, not lack of talent [Body]

Output: These are just kids, everyone. They're going to make mistakes. From what I saw, most of the problems were missed assignments: failure to identify the correct person to block. I think that is understandable from a young offensive line, and it is correctable with coaching and repetitions. For the guards and the center, it's a split-second decision of figuring when to chip, when to double, and when to release to the next level. If they make the wrong decision or make it too late, then they're lost. You fix this by giving them hundreds of repetitions until it's second-nature and they don't have to think about it... you can't expect them to reason it out in their head in a game situation as the play unfolds. Obviously we're all disappointed in the performance of the line, but suggesting that we put in an even less experienced player doesn't make a lot of sense to me. The problem is not with their physical skills.

Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Hint hint [Body]

Output: My favorite thing about the MGoQuestions is how they not-so-subtly articulate our collective MGoOpinions, like HEY YOU SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR THAT RUNNING BACK SHIFT and HEY THEY BROKE TENDENCIES LAST YEAR SO WATCH OUT FOR THAT TOO. It's a refreshing change from the usual MSM fluff. Al Borges seems to have gotten wise to this ploy, though.


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Nomenclature; Offense Line Issues [Body]

Output: I've always known a "bear" front to mean that the center and both guards are covered by linemen, so your usage will confuse me for a while. Then again, "okie" had always meant something else to me too but I've come to accept your version of it. So yeah, use whatever terminology works for you. I'm getting greatly concerned about the interior OL. We need Coach Funk to get whatever magic dust Mattison is sprinkling on the DL.


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Title] MGoGrowingOnAl [Body]

Output: I really think Al Borges is starting to love Heiko and the MGoQuestions. I think he recognizes that there's a level of depth behind the questions that the other reporters just don't give. No fluff, just a sincere interest in scheme and playcalling. There's gotta be a part of that that tickles him.


Input: [Date] 2 years 51 weeks ago [Title] Roll your own in the long run; Twitter for now [Body]

Output: The idea of creating your own system is feasible... perhaps starting from an existing open source project, or enlisting MGoProgrammers to help with the effort. The advantages of this are: you would never be subject to cost increases; you could make it look and act exactly how you wanted; and, you could tie it into existing MGoBlog user identities. The downsides: you probably wouldn't get this up and running in time for the 2012 fall season; you will probably have problems with server capacity with nine thousand simultaneous AJAX-connected users; and you'd have to deal with all the issues of security and robustness that CIL has already got covered. So with all that being said, perhaps Twitter is the easiest way to go for now. And yes, we'll probably all have to create separate Twitter identities specifically for this purpose. I do see a potential business opportunity for anyone who wants to create a CIL clone that costs less than they do...


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Trying to agree with you here [Body]

Output: @Bellanca, re: "I don't understand the comment, below, i.e., that the differences between cover-2 and cover-4 comprise distinctions without a difference..." If that's my comment you're referring to, read it again: I said that for casual fans, the differences are minor. I'm not trying to disagree with you. I'm only trying to explain to some of the other readers here that (a) they probably are misinterpreting your use of "quarters" as "four deep zones", and (b) that it is easy to mistake quarters coverage for cover-2 man if you're not paying attention to shading and how the safeties are reacting to routes. In quarters, if the DBs make a "clue" check on one side and an "alert" check on the other, to most casual observers and fans it will look exactly like cover-2 man. I am quite sure that Al Borges and Greg Mattison are fully aware of what defense Iowa runs, and that's really all that's important.


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Not much difference [Body]

Output: Just to clarify and hopefully make some peace here: what is described by modern DC's as "quarters" is not a four-deep zone coverage (which is kind of an old-school definition of the term), but rather something quite similar to a cover-2 in most situations. The difference with quarters is that (a) there are specific pre-snap reads that the corners and safeties make, often causing them to change their responsibilities, and (b) the corners rarely will chase receivers inside, instead staying with the widest receiver. It's quite possible that Iowa does run quarters but it's hard to tell with most TV camera angles. And anyway, the difference for most casual fans is small enough that whether you call it "quarters" or "a cover-2 variant" is not really going to matter.


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

Output: When Al and Denard talk about bad footwork, it's not just about throwing off the wrong foot. A pro quarterback in this situation (facing a free rusher charging up the middle) moves laterally in the pocket to buy an extra second for the receiver to come free, and also to get a clear view of the passing lane. The chuck-it-up reaction from Denard is basically panic. If Denard scrambles a bit first, the safeties are the ones who have to panic and come up in run-support; if that had happened, Koger would have been hand-wavingly open at the back of the end zone. Fortunately this is something that is correctable with time and practice; it's not a systemic problem and it's not beyond Denard's abilities.


Input: [Date] 3 years 46 weeks ago [Title] Strange coverage scheme or Herron out of position? [Body]

Output: Does anyone have an explanation for the defensive alignment where Herron is sprinting out from an interior linebacker position to cover the split end on the opposite side of the field? I think I saw this at least three times, with each result being an easy completion for Carder.


Input: [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Numbering convention [Body]

Output: It's based on the numbering scheme given to defensive line positions. You could look at the UFR FAQ, but you may find a better diagram here: http://www.dawgsbynature.com/2011/4/11/2082375/draft-terminology-the-thr... Numbering schemes vary by coach and team, but the term "five-technique" generally refers to the position outside the offensive tackle's shoulder (not head-up on the tackle), particularly in a 4-3 alignment.

Output: Here in Raleigh, the Carolina Hurricanes have a similarly dreadful arena-rock theme song. The chorus is "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, let's go, C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, let's go, C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, let's go Canes." The first line of the first verse is "Carolina has a fun hockey team". I cringe and apologize every time I bring my Red Wings friends into the arena and that songs starts to play. If Michigan ever adopts anything like this, I really will want to die.

Output: "Reps to failure"? Does that mean High Intensity Training is back? Did we hire back Gittleson too?


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] When was the last time the fanbase was united? [Body]

Output: I sure remember a lot of grumpy FIRE LLOYD CARR people and the "sackcarr.com" web site a few years ago. Even Bo had his critics as he neared the twilight of his career. The fact is, as long as Michigan loses more than zero games per season, there will always be angry alumni and fans who complain the current coach isn't good enough. Those will be the guys who make the most noise and start campaigns to get the coach fired. It's up to the athletic director to tune the loudmouths out... and perhaps not change coaches every three years. I am irked that David Brandon is saying "be happy with whatever I decide". There will always be critics of his decision, and he needs to be able to answer that criticism.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Parting Gift? [Body]

Output: I wonder if we could send him some sort of medal or trophy, or at least a note... you know, as a gesture for putting up with all the crap he's had to deal with. It would be nice for him to know that a lot of us did appreciate him and what he did during his time at Michigan. I doubt he'll read MGoBlog and see this post.


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Doing It Wrong [Body]

Output: The only way this defense works is if somebody beats a block against an offensive lineman who weighs 40 pounds more than him. Letting an offensive guard plow one-on-one into Mouton just plays into Wisconsin's strengths. If we're trying to use our speed to our advantage, then I'd rather see the defensive ends pack in tighter, and rely on our linebackers to flow over the top to contain the stretch plays. That's actually doable in the context of a 3-3-5; we're just not calling it. As Brian says, this is not a stack. We're doing it wrong.

Output: I believe what you called "Full House" is normally called "Power I".


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Patterson? [Body]

Output: I looked at this play extensively (http://realkato.com/blog.php?pid=1728). Who is the DL to the left of Martin? Is that Patterson? Whoever he is, I think some of the blame is on him. He lines up directly over the right tackle and that tells me he's got two-gap responsibility on that side (the B and C gaps). If that's the case, it seems like he shouldn't be turned to the side, moving down the LOS towards the playside, because that completely negates his chances of covering the B gap and closing down that cutback lane himself. Note that Baker passes within a couple feet of him, while his back is turned. That can't be right. I agree that Ezeh is not to blame here; I'm pretty sure he's supposed to go over the top and defend the bounce-out. Also note that the TE was covered on the play, so this was an obvious running formation. We thought that was weird a season or two ago when Michigan did that, but this play shows some of the personnel advantages this formation can give you.


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Got burned trying cover-3 too [Body]

Output: We got burned trying to play cover-3 against this formation too, for a touchdown. When you drop three deep, you don't have enough defenders to cover the in route and the out route from the bunch, as well as the slant route from the far side and potentially the tailback coming out of the backfield. My guess is that if Indiana reads cover-3, they send the tailback out instead of keeping him in to block. Here's my mini-picture-page version of this: http://www.realkato.com/blog.php?pid=1722 It's a play specifically designed to beat zone defenses. So you can respond by playing man-to-man and hope that your young corners can keep up with Indiana's veteran experienced WRs, or you can have your young safety jump routes and hope that he doesn't mess up and get beaten over the top. I think GERG's decision was: better to get beat underneath than to get beat long... bend, don't break. I don't necessarily agree with this approach, though, and as the season goes on, we're going to have to trust our secondary to make some plays.

Output: So... any chance RR tries to lure Ron English back?


Input: [Date] 6 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Unbalanced formation [Body]

Output: I'd like to hear some speculation on that weird unbalanced formation. I can think of two reasons for that lineup: one, to try to catch the secondary out of position and spring some blocks downfield; or two, to have Mathews sweep around and get the ball on a reverse. It can't be a tackle-eligible play since the left tackle is ineligible by number. Thoughts?

(And BTW the greek average is slightly higher than the all campus average.) They deserved to have their charter pulled. Their actions are a stain on the reputation of every Michigan student and alumni. I feel like the SDTs kind of got shafted though if their worst crime was standing around and watching it happen. I find it hard to believe they could have done much to stop it once things started getting out of control. Maybe they are refusing to name the chief perps out of some sense of friendship. They have to know who the ringleaders were.

Not a college game per se but I created my own rosters so it worked as such. Lot's of fun designing plays with the play editor.

It used to be that only 1 or 2 players would have buckeys on both sides of their helmuts, now it seems like everybody has their entire helmut filled up. They should be hard to get.

Input: [Date] 43 weeks 16 hours ago [Title] Game Theory [Body]

Output: I believe that Brian is technically correct in game theory terms, but I agree more with the posters who point out the psycological reasons why this may not be the best strategy. If you go for 2 on your first score and don't make it (statistically < 50/50?) Then you are still down 3 scores and you haven't really accomplished anything. If you kick the one then you are only down 2 scores + hope. FWIW I have been watching football for a long time, and as far as I know coaches have always advocated and opted for going for 2 later rather than sooner. This doesn't mean that they have necessarily been right all these years, but maybe there is a method to their madness. IMHO there are a lot of more legitimate things to criticize Hoke about.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 5 days ago [Title] think DG has a boo boo [Body]

Output: After forcing myself to watch these replays again I'm pretty convinced that Gardner has some sort of sholder/arm injury he has been trying to play through. His attempts to throw long are few and horribly short. His throwing motion seems worse to me than last year. At first I attributed this to Nuss trying to change his mechanics, but it could also be caused by an injury. He seems to be floating his passes most of the time. I was alarmed by this against Appy State even though he had only one incompletion, nothing had any zip on it. He also seems to get worse as the game goes on, which could also be explained by an injury being irrated by making throws or getting hit. This could also explain some of his apparent hesitation if in the back of his mind he is uncertain if he can make a given throw.

Output: This is disappointing. I thought this idea very unique and it got our history out in a much more prominent way. The "create their own legacy" argument doesn't make sense to me. We can't bother to remember two great players who wore the same number? It's not a cool thing to connect the past to the present? I never heard anyone complain about a receiver no longer building their own legacy when they got the #1.

Output: I agree completely. The press boxes look great blank and I don't need it looking like Penn State or some nonsense. That ring of champions thing has all the info you want just outside the stadium. I will also back you up on the helmet stickers, not a fan. But I'd rather have helmet stickers than crap on the press boxes.

Output: My house sophomore year where my room was a converted porch with no heat would like to speak to you about the worst living experience on campus. In fact my house senior year blew as well so I don't really agree with you at all on that. Also I would have hated to have to start my college experience and make that huge transition in addition to finding my own place to live there. Plus that's a great way to force socialization for people in a new place is having them live together. You think that's overpriced for meals where you could take as much food as you wanted? The amount of cereal and waffles I ate a day more than made up for that cost.

Input: [Date] 5 years 46 weeks ago [Body] Whoa whoa whoa wait up a minute 'peoples' this is a game in which the Notre Dame Fighting Irish have a lil more to lose than the Michigan Wolverines. Guess what,"We're still rebuilding here in Michigan people!" Notre Dame needs to be 'rebuilt' by this game. This is a coronation moment for both Clausen and Weis. This is a big, if not huge game, for Mr. Charlie Weis. If Michigan wins, think about it, with the big tens performance this past week, Michigan will more than likely still not be ranked. Rather Notre Dame will just slide out of the rankings. The idea that at week 2, a non ranked 3-9 of last year, can slide into the top 25 at 2-0 is ludicrous. AND I DON'T WANT MICHIGAN RANKED TILL THEY BEAT A RANKED TEAM ON THE ROAD! Michigan, with freshman QB's, a never quit attitude(MUCH LIKE NAVY HAD), and the idea that WERE THE UNDERDOG can really make this a game. [Title]

Output: Hey whoa Hey


Input: [Date] 5 years 46 weeks ago [Body] People need to talk about that O-line of Michigan. If all goes well Saturday I think they will some more. One thing Michigan had on Saturday was tempo. Tempo, overall game tempo is tough to get or control when you are playing an evenly matched team. I believe these two teams are now evenly matched given Michigan's home field and last game played. But fret not young Michigan and just hang with them punch for punch until the last ticks of the clock. [Title]

Output: People need to talk about


Input: [Date] 5 years 46 weeks ago [Body] There seems to be a friendly game of can you top this, as far as play making goes amongst the younger Michigan team. I mean this both offensively and defensively. Very good sign, very good. Carlos Brown, I mean, is anyone that overly concerned now with the idea of starting Brown? With the play of Koger is anyone overly bummed about Sims at MSU? The players were holding onto the football, taking big hits and then stretching the plays for an extra 2-3 yards. There seems to be a developing sense of,"we, the young guys of Michigan, want to take ownership and show what we can do." To me, that's family values 101. One of the few negatives I heard, and I heard it from people who could care less about Michigan. But they all said,"You got blanked in the 2nd half. Did they figure out your schemes in the 2nd or what?" I did not notice there were no points in the 2nd and I still think there were points in the 2nd half. But if there were not I'd write it off to experimentation and to the idea that,"Dude, we're up 31-0 at halftime." The reality is, for all teams on Michigans schedule, that you can't really look at Forcier as a freshman anymore. And you cannot sleep on that offense. [Title]

Output: Nice


Input: [Date] 5 years 46 weeks ago [Body] He will be a great guy and coach here. I mean in the long view, when people give the guy some room to do his thing. Perception is a weird thing. Because the guy, I mean coach, could be smiling and teaching and have that moment not on TV. And then the media could cherry pic and seek out the moment where he blows his cool and then air that. I want to see the public or overall narrative changed on Coach Rodriguez because he is a likable guy. But he's a football guy and there's nothing wrong with that. Recommending a football coach to smile more is kind of chintzy and lame. I mean it's football for God's sakes! But, I also think the days or Woody Hayes are long gone. You almost have to be part coach, part baby-sitter and a full time pr guy. Who also has an agent by the way. All in all, with all the crap that goes along with it, college football coaching is not for the timid. One can deduce that from following Michigan and Rich as of late. "Win one for RR," is my motto. [Title]

Output: He will be a great guy and

Input: [Date] 5 years 47 weeks ago [Body] Jim Rome said the same thing. Actually Rome said something to the effect of,"And he'd better hope most of the team has bought in or there will be something to really cry about. And if they lose to Western, look out Michigan." In all of this, every moment of controversy that has happened from day one, it has been about perception and the handling of how things went down. Some one on ESPN radio said, paraphrasing again,"throughtout the hiring process you wished there were handlers in the athletic department managing the overall output of the decisions upon the brand name of Michigan. And in the press conference as well." The question you the reader have to ask yourself is,"Do you think the guy knew he was going to tear up before going in?" In some ways that's what journalists who take the,"He teared up?" avenue may be thinking. I dont think a coach gets emotional on cue. If I was making desicions and part of the athletic dept. I would've already put Brian on payroll and asked him to be the handler of all things media. He has the insight and the youth. Once again, if Michigan wins, people will shut up. [Title]

Output: Perception, period.


Input: [Date] 5 years 47 weeks ago [Body] What's the forecast on Michigan Football as of today??? Well, the 'shot across the brow' of Michigans Football vessel has been taken. As I watched the news today, the interviews and season felt like it came a week early. In some ways, this may serve advantageous to the mindset of the warriors involved in this up and coming football game. It should be a better, more focused week of game prep. It's a must win game. Will Michigan lose games this year? Could Michigan possibly lose to Western Michigan? Could Michigan win it's first 4? Yes, to all. Don't be surprised if this game is close and don't be surprised if its a blowout. I mean that for both squads. It's essential that the Wolverines take a rational, methodical approach on both offense and defense. The idea that emotion can be harnessed, or the idea of playing off of it has kind of left the building. At this point, it's just for the love of the game. At this point, for the players, coaches and fans of Michigan Football, you will win and lose quietly. [Title]

Output: Good Football Weather!


Input: [Date] 5 years 47 weeks ago [Body] Physically, he(#7 Devin Gardner) has all the tools. He is taller, and moves side to side as well as he does when he squares his shoulders and runs up field. BUT, and I hate to sound like some crusty curmudgeon, he is not a jedi yet. [Title]

Output: He must complete the training!


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Body] I just don't see it long term. People talk of the core ideas of offensive football changing from an offensive formation. That formation being the spread. Did Donovan McNabb make his money in the NFL running the ball or from his scrambling mobility? Think of Steve Young firing lasers to T. Owens. Think of any running vs scrambling QB and you'll see scramblers, who are tall with good instincts and passing ability succeeding in the NFL. For gods sakes Eli Manning is the highest paid NFL player. Dude couldnt run our spread if he tried. To make money in any professional sport, you need reps. You do not currently get enough reps when as a NFL QB you're only reps come from running the Wildcat. McNabb, he made his money by scrambling and also being an adept passer. As a QB, first and foremost you need to be able to throw the football. Sorry, but it's a job req. and it always will be. A running QB will rarely be franchised(because of fear of injury) by anyone looking to throw money at a young college kid. Even Timothy Tebow will have to prove himself as a drop back passer in the coming years in the NFL. The fact is there is no way D. Rob or even Darth Forcier garner the NFL looks Barkely will, should all stay healthy. With Mark Sanchez starting as a rookie in the NFL in his first game you have the perfect analog for Barkely. The reality is here and is no longer on the horizon. USC is winning with the old Michigan ideas and formulas. And thus the idea and title of QB U has passed to them. So the idea of a 'draftable' high round QB from Michigan is no more. Maybe, maybe Gardner should be develop though. [Title]

Output: The NFL is different


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Body] Yeah, it is weird that a freshman is STARTING let alone playing at the QB position. BUT, it seems to me, that once the game starts, USC, no matter who is running what position, just takes over the game. As a Wolverine fan at Quarterback 'U,' it will be tough watching pro-style QB after pro-style QB from USC get drafted over ours. It is really a no brainer that a healthy Barkley, in two-three years time, garners 1st round draft money over what we currently have at UofM. And that is also another reason why Denard Robinson should stay(shows commitment and loyalty) at Michigan should be not find time at the QB position. Because if he's that fast and skilled, an NFL team will make room for him somewhere at some position. [Title]

Output: Yeah, it is weird that a


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Body] How many college spread QB's, below 6'0, start in the NFL as of today? Versus the percentage of college based drop back passers who start? How about a ratio of how many qb's per roster is spread based vs drop back? [Title]

Output: Agreed.


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Body] They'll be alright [Title]

Output: They'll be alright


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Body] Wait, must win? Yeah, must win. Weird as hell to utter it aloud if you are a long time supporter of Wolverine Football. However, don't kid yourself, it's a huge game. When I think of UofM football I think of the 2006 season. 11-0, opening day victory over an SEC team. Then a M.A.C.-CMU drubbing, followed by a line of consecutive victories. And then barely losing to tOSU, coupled with a bowl game loss to the PAC-10. But, I think my history of Michigan Football kind of stops there. It then merges into a moment, a moment I am still sort of in. After giving up 21 points in the second quarter and the ensuing 34-32 opening day loss to Appalachian State, my ability to remember what I knew of Michigan is lost. My point is this, you can play 3,4 or 5 QB's coach if you want. But this team and it's fan need to stop the bleeding and win a home opener. I WISH it were like basketball or baseball where you could try this and that in pre-season tournaments. Football is a different animal, especially in these days of the BCS. So, if you are hoping to go to a bowl game as a Wolverine fan(as I am), well, I hope WMU is a W for you(us). [Title]

Output: Western Michigan is a MUST win for the Wolves

Input: [Date] 5 years 49 weeks ago [Body] As a punt returner, the only thing you really have to do is field or catch the punted football. Personally I am not concerned one bit if their return yards are in the negative. The concern is a special teams turnover after our defense has caused a three and out! I would hope the special teams coach changes the name of the punt return team to the punt-catch team. You only have to catch it fellas. Fair catch if it helps! [Title]

If he wins, his cursing, whether at you or at those around you, is something akin to a verbal anointment. If he wins, he could not cut his grass for a month and post a sign in his yard that read,"F-You, You cut my Effing Grass," and people would mindlessly cut it. Cheering merrily as they go. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 years 4 weeks ago [Body] The more reps this young man gets the more dividends he'll pay off. And it is weird saying that about someone so young and inexperienced at the QB position. He understands reads well for being as young as he is. He has older brothers who have played QB. Also guys like Marv Marinovich helping with this facet or area of learning. Secondly, he has great technique and like Brian said is freakishly accurate. Lastly he is a good scrambler who can do a lil running. But the most important thing I saw at the spring game is that he wants to take ownership of the offense. By the time he's a senior he'll be barking and coaching on the field. Should he stay healthy, he will be tough to dethrone over the years. Just a great fit all the way around for Michigan fans. Should be a fun four years. [Title]

Output: Solid Prospect.

Input: [Date] 6 years 4 weeks ago [Body] I think Forcier is a great pickup for Michigan. There needs to be some kind of forward motion, or the identification of some of the missing puzzle pieces that Coach Rodriguez and Michigan fans need. And this recruit landing in Ann Arbor is one of those pieces. The downside is that he scrambles and then gets a zinger or dinger laid on. Height is really not an issue simply because he played taller in the spring game. Scrambling was not an issue either because he was elusive in the spring game. The fear is the spaces in between where the play breaks down, causing the scramble, and some random 200 plus LB'er or lineman simply falling/tackling the young man. Because there will be breakdowns, 3rd and longs and other obvious passing plays where he will scramble, be elusive and be one on one with some bigger people in the open field. His loss would significantly hurt the passing rhythm of the Michigan offensive attack. Not that Jack Kennedy and Denard Robinson cannot throw. Great recruit, hard worker, so heres to sliding into tackles and staying healthy fella! [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 years 5 weeks ago [Body] I hope Threet makes all PAC-10 first team by his sr. year under Dennis Erickson! And then I hope he gets drafted high in the NFL! Same for Mallett! That guy, Threet, has a lot of justice on his side man. Threet was somewhat altruistic in my opinion last year. Namely because he was playing for a school he loved when getting called out socially by am offensive coach who'd been there one year! For a redshirt freshman, he took more than his share of blame. Knowing damn well he'd be forgotten and wrote off completely. He learned a great lesson last year that could really help that young man out long term. He wasn't coddled that's for sure. It's an endless debate about the bare cupboards. I get that. But I think when Steve Threet came in against Utah and dropped that pass to Hemingway in the corner, it said something. That CB was pretty good as well. Here's the thing, people judge you when you do great things with an empty cupboard, not a full one. I get CFB is about winning, but there is a game within the game as well. As good as Gardner, Forcier are and will be, I am still concerned by the handling of Threet. My opinion. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Body] For me after some thinking about what games I've been to, I realized that the only choice I have is the '08 Capital One Bowl over Florida. Wanted to pick a Michigan Stadium game but most of the ones I've been too have been against cupcakes (ticket price/availability). This game/trip was my 16th birthday present from my parents. Dad and I went down the day after Christmas and enjoyed a week in Florida. Went to the BC/MSU Champs Sports Bowl where I proudly wore a Big Ten Conference T-shirt and pretended to root for Sparty because of my sister being a student there but really, could care less. Realize now that it was the BC team that was Quaterbacked by Matt Ryan and was probably the best team they've had in 25 years, so that was pretty cool. Really remember the fan fest for the two bowl games that they had. That had the bands of all 4 schools and a bunch of activites. Tebow's Heisman was there as well. My dad's quote to the M fans next to us in line for a photo with it? "Desmond's was bigger." Remember Brandstatter getting up and getting the Michigan fans in attendance to chant "one more win" for Lloyd. Anyone else who was there have memories from the fanfest? Honestly probably one of the best gatherings on Michigan fans I've been too (Up there with the bars pregame for basketball vs Kentucky in Indy this past spring, beer may have helped that one though). Of course there's the game itself. Which was pure awesomeness. No need to rehash that. But there being maybe at best was 10% Michigan fans, the rest true down deep south ESS EEE SEEE Florida fans, many of which bought shirts for $20+(!) saying "Beat Michigan and that rat they brought with them". Watching those guys walk out while we stayed and celebrated was priceless. But the postgame interviews with players? That will always stick with me. Listening to Shawn Crable answer the ESPN reporter's question about being prepration for the game? "We had to listen to KIRK HERBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBSREIT say we ain't got no chance" to a roar from the MIchigan fans was the best. Getting to walk out from the upperdeck, to a crowd of Gators waiting still for with everyone in maize and blue chanting "It's Great to Be a Michigan Wolverine" will always stick with me as a moment of pure fandom" Anyone else with memories from this game? Sidenotes: Best Michigan Stadium game?: My first, Rice 1999 a 7 year old, amazing seats by pure luck. 6th row 45 yard line. Was first row until a week before the game we got a call from the Athletic Department telling us we were moved so recruits would have those seats. Worst games?: The Horror.... and Toledo '08. Idk how a 15/16 year old me got through those games without drinking Best worst games?: Northwestern in '08. Nothing to play for. Lost. Miserable weather. We sat under the construction of the luxury boxes, in a spot that dripped on us the whole game. Never been so cold and wet. But Damnit we stayed until the final play and then went to the basketball arena for the open practice before the team went and upset UCLA in NYC. How's that for fandom endurance badge? [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Body] Not familar with the Michigan program but I'm in my final year of the Sport Management program at Central Michigan. It's been a fantastic expirence and one I wouldn't change. Yes you catch a lot of flack for being a "jock major" and so on but like any other program it's as serious as you take it. Sports in a glamour industry so as far as inital jobs go, it's internship heavy and/or low-paying. However if it's what you are passionate about you won't want to trade it for anything. Yes there are ways to get into the sports industry that don't involve the majoring in Sport Management. However those are becoming tougher and tougher, as more and more qualifed Sport Management grads are entering the workplace and organizations are looking at them first over other disciplines. Also networking as with any business is key and the connections you make in the program can pay big dividends when it comes to moving up in the sports world. Overall I have had nothing but great expirences and while there are some specfic challenges with being a Sport Management major, so does every other degree program. [Title]

Creating a future demand for season tickets and therefore PSD's in the future. Without that when the current season ticket holders give up their tickets (for whatever reason price, death, moving etc.) and therefore by extension their PSD's, there wouldn't be a demand created to fuill those voids and you would lose out on future revenues. [Title]

Output: Yes because those PSD


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Body] Simple Sports Management, you want to grow your fan base to new fans and younger generations. The best way to get these potential fans to games. This cannot happen if you sell every seat as a season ticket. You need to have a good portion of tickets available for single game consumption. A variety of ticket options gives the biggest number of people a chance to sample the product and become fans that will then day demand more of the product. If you only offer season tickets, you will see fan growth stagnate. So after a period of time all the sudden you won't have the demand to sell every ticket as a season ticket. [Title]

Output: Simple Sports Management, you


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Body] Baltimore fans do this (rather impressively for the crowd sizes of games I've been at I might add) during the "O" of the anthem at O's games. They just love the anthem down there in general though. Been doing huge celebrations the last two years for the War of 1812 and anniversary of Key writing the anthem [Title]

Output: Baltimore fans do this


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Body] Downtown GR right now at the Outlaws bar for the USMNT game. Lets get rowdy tonight Grand Rapids!! [Title]

Output: Downtown GR right now at the


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Body] Pretty much, things are getting kind of sketchy... butttttttt did outplay the Crunch tonight though, outshot them by like 30 just gave up good chances that Syracuse took advantage of when we didn't with similar chances [Title]

Output: Pretty much, things are


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Body] Rooting for Mahan, seems like a good guy and I will forever root for any and all of the Golf Boys [Title]

Output: Rooting for Mahan, seems


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Body] Spent the night watching the Griffins lose game 5 and drinking whiskey and cokes. Still have a 3-2 series lead but losing two in a row at home that could have clinched makes me nervous to go back to Syracuse... [Title]

Output: Spent the night watching the


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Body] If I have time in between summer classes I'm going to attempt to write a more in depth preview on CMU, seeing how I have first hand knowledge after watching all their games the last three years (not looking forward to the two teams I rise and fall with playing each other but such is the nature of the beast) . Maybe I'll be able to use my MACtion knowledge to try and put a little bit more on Akron if people are interested. [Title]

Output: If I have time in between


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Look like a generic logo for a create-a-team in a video game [Title]

Output: Look like a generic logo for


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Body] God if we can win it, it would feel really good for Coach Beilein. One of the good people in sports during a time where that doesn't always seem to be the case. [Title]

Output: God if we can win it, it


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Body] What the fracking shit was that icing getting blown off?! [Title]

Output: Gongshow


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Beat the Irish! [Title]

Output: Beat the Irish!


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Was hoping someone would make this thread. Love this weather but not when we need a result as bad as we do [Title]

Output: Was hoping someone would make


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Body] So Wisconsin makes at least 5 buzzer beaters each year right? I'm not imagining this? [Title]

Output: So Wisconsin makes at least 5


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Body] God can we just move the next series up to tomorrow? This team wants to play some hockey [Title]

Output: God can we just move the next


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Body] And just like that, I have forgiven the refs despite the gongshow [Title]

Output: And just like that, I have


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Gahhhh, that's an unfortunate one. Rather give up one like that then one like our second goal though (sustained offensive pressure from them) [Title]

Output: Gahhhh, that's an unfortunate


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Dare I say that this team has become fun to watch the last few weeks? Never would have guessed this with some of the uninspired play earlier in the year [Title]

Output: Dare I say that this team has


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Body] Thank you very much for this, the very first Michigan game I ever attended! [Title]

Output: Thank you very much for this,


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Body] Meh, sounds like a whole lot of nothing to me [Title]

Output: Meh, sounds like a whole lot


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] no, I'm not impressed [Body]

Output: We'd need to be in a position to win or be competitive for me to be impressed. I'm not going to parse plays and try to find positives like "Lewan has nice footwork" or "Demens made a play". I watch a team and this team isn't competitive with quality teams. D'Antonio has been at MSU for one more year than RR has been at UM and we were throttled in that game. Unless you want to argue that he inherited a roster that was many times better than what RR inherited, you can only conclude that RR has not done as good of a coaching job as D'Antonio.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Looking for positives from this game... [Body]

Output: ...is like dating a 400 lb woman and bragging about the size of her breasts. C'mon, we got killed two weeks in a row by significantly better teams. Don't let the scores or yardage comparisons fool you. The games weren't that close.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] a NC run? [Body]

Output: Are you high? This team isn't close to a NC run any time soon. It's one thing to be fan...it's another thing to be delusional.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Agreed [Body]

Output: If we didn't have any turnovers and scored more than our opponents, I'm pretty sure we could beat just about anyone too.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] midfield [Body]

Output: We outgained them because they played on a 50 yard field all day and we played on an 80-90 yard field. That's not a big picture positive.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] It's not variance [Body]

Output: Flipping a coin 10 times and getting heads 7 times is variance. What we saw today was the difference between a well-coached team and no-so-well-coached team. Good teams take advantage of major mistakes. Bad teams make major mistakes. The trend we're witnessing this B10 season is not variance.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] "If we don't turn the ball over 4 times..." [Body]

Output: That's the beginning and the end of the analysis. There's no silver lining there. Our last 3 years are severely testing the "TOs are random" theory.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] tipped balls are random [Body]

Output: INTs where the safety could call for a fair catch or INTs where there are zero UM players in the frame with multiple defenders are not random.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] yep [Body]

Output: This team is hard to watch sometimes. Generally I understand the "they're a young team" comments but this is getting ridiculous. Multiple facemask penalties, illegal formation penalties, multiple kickoffs going out of bounds, not covering the blocked field goal. I'm a fan and I wear my maize and blue with pride but right now it's mostly educational pride.


Input: [Date] 5 years 6 weeks ago [Title] School rankings [Body]

Output: Just out of curiosity, what metrics are you using to say Nebraska is a good research institution? I did use USNWR which 1) I used to rip my Pac10 friends on how bad 1/2 their conference is and 2) gave me a heart attack to realize I would be forced to pay out-of-state tuition for my kids if I wanted them to get a decent university education. I knew Oregon schools were bad but USNWR makes them look atrocious. UGH.
