Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Body] Nobody has brought anything like this up, but I think it would be cool if we included all conference champs and had no at larges. Seed it by BCS rank, Number 1 team get rewarded by playing North Texas or some scrub that won their conference at 7-5. This will stop the conference hopping an keep them geographically reasonable. Also screws ND. [Title]

If Gruden says "pass" and Miles says "I want more money and grass put down at the big house so I can eat my pre-game salad", it wil go to Hoke who we all know will jump at the chance. [Title]

Output: Michigan's order of preference


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] People freaked with Bo (Bo WHO?), thought Mo was good but got in a barfight, and thought Lloyd was going to be too soft.

Input: [Date] 5 years 24 weeks ago [Body] had a bend but don't break defense. The Red Wings were the wise veterans who had been there before and were able to place the puck where they wanted, as opposed to a young, hungry team that was diving into the corners after the puck. It was this kind of play that bit us in the butt last June, and it's exactly why Detroit is already playing as if they are in rebuilding mode. [Title]

Output: Zingerman's Brewpub


Input: [Date] 5 years 26 weeks ago [Body] All day I have been following NSD, and ESPN has been lagging on nearly all of their coverage, none more so than their rankings. As of 7:45 tonight, they still had only seven Michigan recruits having submitted LOI's while this blog and many other sources had confirmed all but Dorsey signed by about noon. I live right next to ESPN, and an insider told me that ESPN's biggest weakness right now is having a good hold on college football recruiting. That was obvious today. [Title]

Output: late to the party


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Body] I grew up in Kalamazoo, went to a small liberal arts college on the west side of the state, but did my graduate internship at Michigan. I am not an alum, but growing up 90 minutes from the big house, I can tell you, there is a HUGE fan base in Michigan comprised of non-students/non-alum. Spend some time in other parts of the state and you will see there are Michigan parties on game days, Michigan bars, and big block M flags flying everywhere. [Title]

Output: Tons of Devotion


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] I'd like to thank Al Borges [Body]

Output: I'd like to thank Al Borges for his first year, when he took control of a team whose offensive scheme was radically different than anything he'd ever run before and yet the offense ended the year with higher red zone efficiency and other metrics than RR ever managed. I'd like to thank Al Borges for his second year, when despite all those designed QB runs finally catching up with Denard, defenses finally figuring out his arm was nothing to fear, and who knows what in terms of injuries (the pinched nerve, possible knee issue, etc) all leading to the sudden transition of Devin from WR to QB, we came close to beating a 10 win SEC outfit in a bowl game. I'd like to thank Al Borges for the fact that we're going to a bowl these year and as bad as the offense is, I've seen worse from other offensive transitions in recent memory. As bad as the line situation is this year, I've seen offensive geniuses shit the bed to much worse degrees than this year. No one we've lost to has more than two loses and they have 5 loses total. The moments of futility suck, but so did offensive line recruiting for awhile and one of our higher ranked gets is currently a nose tackle because defensive line recruiting also sucked.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] One of the things seems to be [Body]

Output: One of the things seems to be he doesn't keep any kind of momentum after he beats that first block. He crushes right through the line and then he's just kind of standing there, trying to find the ball, and once he figures out that the ball carrier is headed for the edge he has to get his body back up to speed. Better vision will let him come crashing through at full speed instead of needing to pause and figure out what is going on. Lots of wasted steps there, which in some instances comes close to letting the offensive linemen pick him back up.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] The offending thing is [Body]

Output: The offending thing is actually something I've been pondering for awhil and it does present a problem. Least we forget, Tuley-Tillman has very displeased when a blog called him raw and basically failed to declare him the next coming of Long and Lewan. This blog has always excelled because when recruits are covered, attempts are made to break down their game film and critique their play. Things are said like "Likely won't start until their junior at the earliest, very raw.", "Likely to be passed from behind unless he works his ass off", and other such things. If the content is going to target kids who are 15 and not used to hitting the camps and being critiqued in a such manner, we're going to tie our hands in the future in terms of analysis. Last year it was unhappiness over being called raw, this year it was being young looking, and perhaps next year someone will mad when Ace says he doesn't have the world's greatest hands and is prone to dropping balls. You're always going to have to recruits who don't like the grading they get, but at least the older ones should in theory have gotten used to it after hitting those camps and talking to coaches on their officials. We have an admittedly small sample size here, but so far the trend line has started out in an extremely poor direction to say the least. We're not the kind of blog prone to mindlessly hailing fluff pieces, because if we were we'd all be watching Sports Center rather than hanging out here.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] I went through Michigan with [Body]

Output: I went through Michigan with a full ride for academics and also worked 10 to 20 hours a week for General Motors. A fair number of folks in college get some or all of their college paid for with scholarships and cash a paycheck beyond that. A fair number of engineering grad students are in the same boat, tuition waiver and some kind of grant or hook up with a company that results in a stipend. I see no reason that a football player shouldn't be able to do the same. Just because a small percentage of them will go on to become wealthly in the pros is no reason to deny them money. By that logic we should go stick it harder to the Business School types since they might end up with Stephen J Ross kinds of money. In terms of wealth on hand, I had a significantly better deal in that I went to class and cashed a check for my work. A football player goes to class, has 20 hours of official practice with the coaching staff, more voluntary practice or film study with their teammates, which is supposed to average out to around 44.8 hours per week, and they don't even get a stipend for walking around money. Heck if they chose to stay in school rather than go pro early, their wallets take a hit because they have to buy injury insurance with their own money like Lewan did. There are a lot of services FBS programs could offer their students beside just handing them the cash (and half a million per head doesn't seem defensible) such as a living stipdent, program provided insurance for career ending injuries, a free grad degree as well as 4 years of undergrad, a trust fund of some sort, etc. Right now though players do get screwed considering the revenue stream they bring in.

Output: Dial 1-900-Maize-And-Blue and kick them nasty thoughts!


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] That's what I fear, every [Body]

Output: That's what I fear, every recruiting cycle it seems we have one guy in our backyard who every analyst says is a perfect fit for Michigan and vice versa, we're in the drivers seat, and yet it never happens. I don't want McDowell being this year's winner of the Laquon Treadwell Memorial Award.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] And if they could just get it [Body]

Output: And if they could just get it up to positive non story like a water skiing chipmunk or something, things would be even better. Seriously though what did they say about him? Just sophomoric ass jokes?


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] As I said, ask the kid to [Body]

Output: As I said, ask the kid to pass a request along to the parents in your first contact package. Alternatively if directly contacting the kids is seen as unacceptable, every school in America has a public phone number and someone who answers the phone during the school day. Leave the coach a voicemail and ask him to pass it on to the parents. In a lot of cases you don't even need to go that far, as a fair amount of the higher star ranked prospects have a Twitter or Youtube account dedicated to recruiting, which one assumes an adult is at least aware of, if not checking. Hit up that account, speak briefly with a parent, and move forward. Again the issue comes down to the fact that Brown's standard workflow does not included "Speak with a parent or gaurdian" as a step before interviewing a 16 year old. Which forms of social media are used and how you use them is something that is still up in the air, as some new social network comes out every six months it seems, but changes in the mechanics of contact doesn't at all influence the issue that sooner or later a parent is not going to be happy and the fact Brown doesn't attempt to speak to them as a matter of course only increases the odds of it happening sooner and more frequently.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] I'm gonna go register [Body]

Output: I'm gonna go register ChiTownMaize just to thwart him.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] I do actually. [Body]

Output: It's all right here. He clearly states he has not talked with a parent or coach for every interview, which in turn means that speaking with the parents is not part of the standard contact package. As for his contact method, @BBrown has a clear history of sending out Tweets in the form of "Hey X, follow back", which in turn is designed to allow for private direct messaging. No additional context is provided by Brown in the initial contact.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] One area that the board is [Body]

Output: One area that the board is clearly going to be divided on are the ethics of not talking to the parents in all this. I've made my view clear upthread, so clearly have a bias in favor of contacting the parents. That said, from a pragmatic viewpoint: Let's say I'm a high schooler and I'm interview. Now I live with my mother in Michigan and my father lives in Hawaii since they divorced. I do an interview, my mother doesn't really mind, but my dad finds out and absolutely flips his lid. Maybe he does it purely out of a cynical ploy for usage in a custody battle or some other reason, at the end of the day it will still be MGoBlog didn't ask and at least one parent is pissed off and no parent approved since no one was asked. Ethics of interviewing minors aside, there is a certain cover your ass aspect of at least attempting to get approval from one parent. Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission is not always true.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] This is really what it boils [Body]

Output: This is really what it boils down to. Print journalism ethics first begins with question why you must interview minors. Clearly in this case, because they are potential Michigan recruits. Secondly you determine if parental (or gaurdian) consent is needed. If you determine it is not, you should leave contact information with the minor so his parents can contact you if they later object to the interview being used. I'd say that is pretty standard. So in this day and age, personally I strongly disagree with Brown's method of going from contact to publication. There is no reason why the initial contact could not also include "Also, I want to clear it with your parents, my email is xxxxxx@mgoblog.com." Clearly of course the kid could set up a fake email and impersonate his parents, but at least there is more of an effort to be upfront and reach out to the parents there. Here of course we enter into a slippery slope in that how much due diligence Brown has to do. The core issue though is right now he is doing nothing. At the end of the day, tweeting kids "Hello X, follow me back" seemingly out of the blue* and dropping interviews on 16 year olds strikes me as extremely low professional standards and I'll post negative comments about it. One of the first things you normally learn in the professional world is just because you are on social media, doesn't meant professional standards are thrown out. Ultimately that is going to happen is Brown is going to run an article and some parent is going to be pissed the fuck off by it and when that happens, if Brian thought the AD was on his ass before, he's going to wake up and find the Athletic Department so far up his ass, Dominos is opening a branch in his colon. *There also does seem to be an element of hypocrisy here, what did Kyle Kalis and Tuley-Tillman teach us? Don't tweet recruits. Yet now a business function of the blog is doing it via a personal twitter account and lacking any sort of formal letterhead...no thank you.

Output: The new one is earmarked for Life Sciences according to the general plan, although that could change.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] The industry is undoubtably [Body]

Output: The industry is undoubtably grimey, but just because MGoBlog does partake in elements of the industry doesn't mean people can't express concerns about the level at which the blog partakes in this industry. Scout, Rivals, etc do a lot of things that MGoBlog choses not to do and I don't see the issue with people on the blog expressing concern about how deep into that industry the blog staff dives. After all, it was called the MGoCreeper Van because when TomVH started out, lots of people jokingly expressed concern about a dude driving around to various high school games for the express purpose of posting footage on the internet. Moving forward with hudl pages and all that the game has changed. That being said, it is still an ongoing discussion. Both posters and staff comment negatively on some of the offers made to 8 year olds by coaches, so it stands to reason different people would have different thresholds for where that age cut off is.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] I can confirm this is [Body]

Output: I can confirm this is correct, a large portion of the wing on the Dental School was marked as no access when I did my orientation for Marine ROTC. However the Marines showed that area and the massive cracks because "Marines aren't pussies like those squids." Also the University never really repaired it beyond taking it to a point it wasn't condemned. Circa 2007 or so the patchwork as still visible in a number of classrooms and a couple of new cracks were coming along quite nicely. It's ashame because the building has a lot of history, but its time has clearly come.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] Yeah this is creepy, given we [Body]

Output: Yeah this is creepy, given we have lots of 2014 and 2015 people still out there. Well even if both those classes were full, it would be creepy given this is 2013, but a bit more understandable.


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] Ultimately at the start of [Body]

Output: Ultimately at the start of the season, most of the 'experts' were calling us an 8 or 9 win team this year due to our youth and right now the fanbase is being reminded of that. The play where Chesson failed to dominate the tiny little sub 6' corner covering him his a prime example of that youth. Senior Chesson will likely just reach over the guy, grab the ball and proceed to burn down the field for another 10 yards. Freshman Chesson doesn't jump properly and it results in an Int. That said that throw made my happy, Chesson mistake aside, because it was one of many times that Gardner did throw to someone not named Gallon. Gardner was out of sync with a lot of those people but that can be fixed. The second half went well and in the 4th we really did start to establish something. Fitz was running hard and the defense finally got pumped up thanks to the Morgan pick. Hopefully that will carry into the bye week and give the coaches a little something positive to work with before showing the 6 hour long clip of things that need to be corrected. I'm really hoping with 2 weeks off we can get the offensive line settled into at least mediocrity and Devin calmed down and out of the "I need to win it all by myself mode."


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] This issue the higher ups who [Body]

Output: This issue the higher ups who looked the other way on this did so in part to protect their cash cow of a football program from any taint of a scandal. PSU struggling to make ends meet is just in that is serves as a fair warning to every other administrator in the country (and the PSU community) that the coverup only makes it worse. The message needs to be sent that a better economic result will come from coming clean and taking the initial hit. True PSU never had some kind of secret meeting where the entire Board of Trustees said 'cover this shit up', but the culture was such that a group of school leaders thought they could do just that. Ultimately that is why they pay. Also you can't just blame sanctions. Donations to the athletic program are also down, likely because alumni are disgusted by the actions of the department, not just in the coverup but all its continued denial. Beside, they can always melt that statue down and sell the metal.


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] One of my GSI's student [Body]

Output: One of my GSI's student released coursework and grads I had performed on public forums and via mass email because they had an issue with me. Disclosure of grades of course falls under FERPA. Lewis as Dean of Rackham was actually the ultimate say in punishing this grad student, but kept ducking meetings with me, I had four rescheduled and denying responsibility until a letter from an actual lawyer rolled in, coupled with an official compliant to the Department of Education. Suddenly Lewis had all the time in the world to meet with me after that and I no longer kept getting routed to other departments. For awhile they had this whole "Oh no, we don't handle that, someone else does." thing going on to ping pong me back and forth.


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] Whereas I personally feel [Body]

Output: Whereas I personally feel Lewis failed ot adequately discpline a grad student who committed a FERPA violation and I had to hire a lawyer to send a threatening letter so that Lewis would get off his ass and respond. So I'll vote a strong "Hell no" on Lewis.

Output: Also for busy content days, the stock photos could be placed beneath the jump or shrunk.


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] Honestly I think State's [Body]

Output: Honestly I think State's defense is slightly overrated. They needed to bring 5 or 6 just to get pressure against USF. The Bulls burned them a few times with draws. Against better teams Narduzzi may be made to pay for that aggression with those draws and screens. State's front 4 are not as disruptive as they were in past seasons.


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] That stopping Denard defense [Body]

Output: That stopping Denard defense comment is the key I think. Notre Dame early in the game was playing they thought Denard was still there and no one on our team could pass to save his life. They reopened with a rehash of their 2012 formations and were promptly murdered via a passing attack. As the season goes on we'll see if coordinators we face make different choices, like not stacking 7 or 8 in the box and having the LBs play to stop the run on almost every down, and what kind of running game improvement we see at that point. So far Devin has not been a free turnover machine when pressured, so we'll see what happens next. If we seems playing to stop the pass more and we still struggle to run, my worries will increase at that point. Funchess blocking mistakes that definitely hurt the run game. That's worrisome, but it is only his second year in the program and blocking takes time to learn (think back to Seth's work on how long it takes to prep offensive linemen to learn the blocking schemes, Funchess faces the same task to a degree).


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] Well this should hopefully [Body]

Output: Well this should hopefully end the Sailboat Bill jokes (I have to admit, I've made a few myself). The oddly unified story I've heard is that Miles was exiled from AA by Bo for various sins beyond the whole screwing Mrs. Moeller thing, which might just be campfire gossip anyway. Which was why when coming into the 2006 season, when Carr wanted to retire and Bo was alive, no move was made to hire Miles. As the story goes, MSC felt that Bo was over reacting to some minor issues involving Miles, whereas Bo had full on excommunicated the guy. So long as Carr stayed on, MSC figured there was nothing to be gained by challenging Bo over this and let it ride coming into 2006 when Carr was making noises about retirement but people talked him into staying. What happened in 2008 supposedly was Carr and Martin were against Miles, but MSC ordered contact to be made and since she is the ultimate boss she had to be obeyed. Martin, a multimillionaire who has conducted many business deals on tight timetables, became suddenly incompentent (strategically so one might say) with his cellphone and Carr laid the groundwork for RR (since RR had the Nehlen link and Bo liked RR's read-option, although I assume Bo must have flipped channels during defensive series). Martin 'made a mistake' and 'lost the deal', then Carr presented RR as a viable Plan B. However Carr actually had buyer's remorse due to further interactions with RR and things went to hell as we all saw.


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] Seems fair. As long as we [Body]

Output: Seems fair. As long as we keep it together the next part of the schedule is nice. Plenty of time for the interior of the line to come together and Fitz to become less ginger. Also State is at #27, reaping of the benefit of people never watching them play and just seeing the final score on their news feed.


Input: [Date] 4 hours 41 min ago [Title] Only hope of signing him long [Body]

Output: Only hope of signing him long term is if he's not in the team. Not sure how this is bad management.


Input: [Date] 1 day 14 hours ago [Title] And it reminds me why I [Body]

Output: And it reminds me why I have zero interest in twitter. I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but recruiting is such a tiny, insignificant portion of twitter, at all, not just the creeps tweeting at recruits. You may have zero interest in the medium, but to act like the only use is to be creepy to teenagers is pretty insulting to those of us who use it for the million other reasons one might use twitter. The reasons that aren't in any way connected to football at all. It's a pretty myopic view of the world to think it all exists just for the purpose of sports.


Input: [Date] 2 days 7 hours ago [Title] Watch out for blackouts. If [Body]

Output: Watch out for blackouts. If you live in SE Michigan a lot of the Michigan games will probably be blacked out on ESPN3.


Input: [Date] 4 days 5 hours ago [Title] Another reason to abandon [Body]

Output: Another reason to abandon drupal?


Input: [Date] 4 days 7 hours ago [Title] There used to be a sticky [Body]

Output: There used to be a sticky that explained but stickies were a casualty of the Great Server Outage of 2015.


Input: [Date] 5 days 8 hours ago [Title] I was in contact with the [Body]

Output: I was in contact with the ticket office about single game tickets I bought and was told the single game tickets, at least, are being mailed this week.

Output: If you haven't yet, /r/cfb on reddit would be an ideal place to find beta testers.

Output: If it's actually newsworthy there would be another source.

Output: IBD


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] We had one of those, too. No [Body]

Output: We had one of those, too. No AC on those road trips we took in it was...fun.


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] Like I said, he's a Sparty, [Body]

Output: Like I said, he's a Sparty, so we know he has no self respect.


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] I, too, drive a 2012 Cruze. I [Body]

Output: I, too, drive a 2012 Cruze. I haven't had any problems with it yet. Now that I've said it in sure it's going to fall apart and I'll blame you.


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] Nissan Cube is one of the [Body]

Output: Nissan Cube is one of the ugliest cars on the road. I had a terrible date with a guy who turned out to be a Sparty, and finding out he drives a Cube was just the icing on the cake.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Completely agree. I couldn't [Body]

Output: Completely agree. I couldn't sleep after this one. I kept seeing the missed field goals every time I closed my eyes. Though ND 2014 was similar.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] I was born in the [Body]

Output: I was born in the university's hospital system in the early 80s. If they gave me a beanie, there's no evidence of it. My sister born 4 years later didn't get a beanie, either.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Never mind. It doesn't show [Body]

Output: Never mind. It doesn't show up in the app. I get it now.

Output: I crochet. I've posted pics of the winged helmet hats I make. But I'm more into making blankets lately.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Title] WOW is having problems right [Body]

Output: WOW is having problems right now every single weekend, which is annoying, but I've been happy with $27/mo internet from WOW and having DirecTV.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] As I said above, the power [Body]

Output: As I said above, the power would go out before DirecTV in Miami. But this was a few years back, before everything was in HD, so maybe it's due to what someone else said about SD signal lasting even when the HD signal goes out. I've certainly experienced fewer DirecTV outages than I ever did with cable companies.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Just to expound upon my own [Body]

Output: Just to expound upon my own comment, TV software is very important to me. Comcast's software (which seems to be the same software Brighthouse and Mediacom use in my experience, possibly others, too) is the worst of the bunch. Very unresponsive, unintuitive, and obtrusive. WOW is better in the responsiveness column, but even less intuitive. DirecTV is very good, but not perfect. But definitely good enough. Of all the MSOs I've experienced, uverse is so much better. But I still miss having Tivo to handle all of it. I really wish DirecTV hadn't ended their partnership.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I'm moving to Ann Arbor soon, [Body]

Output: I'm moving to Ann Arbor soon, where WOW will no longer be an option, so my choices for Internet will be comcast or uverse. I will do all I can to avoid comcast, so I will be switching from my current setup (DirecTV and WOW) to straight up uverse. While I'd prefer to avoid att, I will say that uverse has the best TV software apart from Tivo.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] In Miami the power would go [Body]

Output: In Miami the power would go out before DirecTV during a hurricane. But there have been a few rain related outages here in SE Michigan. But I'd mostly recommend, especially if you can get a really cheap Internet only deal from somewhere like WOW.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] /s. Autocorrect changed that. [Body]

Output: /s. Autocorrect changed that.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I'm not sure I understand [Body]

Output: I'm not sure I understand your /side tag. Does that mean Calvin & Hobbes is back? I know he did that one off in some other strip but I wouldn't call that back.

Output: I think hell night is the giveaway for Detroit/Michigan. No one else calls it that.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 12 hours ago [Title] They have SEC network which [Body]

Output: They have SEC network which I'm sure exists for the same reason. If the first football season goes well for them in guessing we'll see more sports nets signing up.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] The person responsible for [Body]

Output: The person responsible for violating hipaa wasn't the one who blew off his finger. There's no way to tie this to the $60 mil.

Output: Brady Thomas (your last name)


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] I second this. I think we're [Body]

Output: I second this. I think we're going to come out swinging on the first play.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] This worked very well in my college intramural league [Body]

Output: have the females be checkdown recievers. If you discover one is dependable catching the ball, make her your go to reciever for a few yards when nothing else is available. Run a lot of slants and thow in a few slant and go's to your best reciever to catch them cheating. I would have mesh and slants as your go to plays, but sprinkle in a variation of the slants and have the outside recievers run a slant and go, maybe run 4 verts a few, and whatever else. mesh is when the 2 inside (1 on each side) slot recievers run 5 yard slants basically but in the middle they pretty much brush shoulders to set a pick for eachother and get open with running room. Very good against a man defense. Basically your playbook should be a very simple Mike Leach/Air Raid playbook. Also I would huddle, and have your plays have a number. Audible at the line if you need to, but dont let them catch on to what is coming. (dont call out 2! over and over again, then run the same play every time) Also search youtube for a trick play to run once a game I put together a team of people who didnt have a team, and played decently (went 1-4). But considering every team was more athletic than us, and most teams had played together for years, or were former members of our very good D2 football team that got cut. Oh man we had a fun game where me, a slow 6'6" scrawny white boy who's football experience was solely playing NCAA on the PS3, trying to cover man to man the best reciever from a team thats ussually in the top 25 in D2 every year.

Output: I love how I can look at the headline and think to myself hmmm is this about basketball or football?


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Title] So in what round will Heiko [Body]

Output: So in what round will Heiko take Coulter?


Input: [Date] 2 years 51 weeks ago [Title] Well... [Body]

Output: If he stayed at Penn State, there would be less running lanes because their passing game is just bad. He would have to carry 40 times a game because he is the whole offense. He leaves Penn State and goes to USC where having Barkley at QB will give him more running room, plus he will not have to take such a beating because they have other options. Going to USC will help him very much when the draft comes around. Plus the whole playing in a big bowl game thing.


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Title] I might go and that would be [Body]

Output: I might go and that would be my first Michigan game. Depends if the lady can get off from work. Big house tickets are just too expensive. If we look good this season I will also go to the Nebraska game.


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Going into Purdue week at [Body]

Output: Going into Purdue week at 3-1. Playing on AA. Lost to Bama by 1 as they kicked a field goal as time expired. Jake Ryan missed an open field tackle behind the LOS on 4th and 5 earlier in the drive. Still mad about that... Was tied with ND with a chip shot field goal to win but I kept mashing select for a timeout in the last few seconds and it didn't call one! Won in OT though. Cannot figure out running with tailbacks.. Fitz is averaging 1.2 ypc and it would be way lower but I played UMASS an got 4.1 in that game. Recruiting wise I have the #1 and 2 running backs committed and I'm battling MSU for the #1 QB who I will rename Shane Morris if I get him.


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Title] PS3 [Body]

Output: I just created rosters for ps3. It just has the names of players for other teams but I redid Michigan's to be pretty realistic. Took out a lot of walk ons and guys buried on the depth chart and replaced them with Wile, Beyer, and many Freshmen. Did position changes and devin and tree's # change. to I uploaded it as trevtheloveshack


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Title] I preordered on amazon and it [Body]

Output: I preordered on amazon and it should get in Monday. Playing the demo it seemed like the unstoppable wishbone option was fixed and defensive players were getting I outside runs better. Is this still the case?

Output: Well didn't he just say we were his favorite not even a week ago? This looks good.

Output: Play some Beiber. Gets me amped


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Pulling for Shumacher. I kind [Body]

Output: Pulling for Shumacher. I kind of hate how he retired as a legend, then comes back and is mediocre. Also pulling for McLaren and Ferrari. I miss the days where they were the dominant teams.

Output: Just graduated college, last day at my current job before I start my new job Monday! (Not a UM degree could not afford)


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Come on they were shut out by [Body]

Output: Come on they were shut out by an SEC defense. That is very good! Ussually because of the SEC speed an offense has negative points at the end of a game.


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Title] I mean I'd be pissed if it [Body]

Output: I mean I'd be pissed if it was my car. But a felony? I would have thought he would just have to pay damages.


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Beavis and Butthead are New [Body]

Output: Beavis and Butthead are New Mexico residents and would not be eligible to vote in the Texas primary.


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

Output: Nobody has brought anything like this up, but I think it would be cool if we included all conference champs and had no at larges. Seed it by BCS rank, Number 1 team get rewarded by playing North Texas or some scrub that won their conference at 7-5. This will stop the conference hopping an keep them geographically reasonable. Also screws ND.


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Title] From what I've heard, [Body]

Output: They have fixed the super LBs and DBs that break on the route even before the receiver does. I will wait and read the reviews prior to purchasing to make sure this is true.


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I don't wear jerseys, but [Body]

Output: It would be a good idea to get a customized #12 Morris jersey. Since you can't order the name/number combo of a current or former player, and he is not on the team yet, if you do it now you can get away with it.


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Is he deciding with hats? [Body]

Output: Is he deciding with hats?


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I live in Nebraska and I got [Body]

Output: I live in Nebraska and I got tired of hearing everyone on Facebook begging everyone to vote so I voted for A&M. I think all non Nebraska/ A&M fans should have banded together to vote for Idaho


Input: [Date] 3 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Oh good I'm not the only one [Body]

Output: Oh good I'm not the only one annoyed by those hipster "like if you remember this! "pages that keep popping up. I report every single one I see. I see myself like Eric Cartman rounding up all the hippies, except I'm sure nothing happens when I report them.


Input: [Date] 3 years 12 weeks ago [Title] I think it should just be the [Body]

Output: I think it should just be the top 4 ranked conference champions. If you lose your conference I dont feel like you should have a chance to win it all.


Input: [Date] 3 years 13 weeks ago [Title] So if we have an open [Body]

Output: So if we have an open scholarship when all is said and done and we flip the Purdue QB, how good is he?

Output: Helmets


Input: [Date] 3 years 14 weeks ago [Title] I can see it now... [Body]

Output: All in one play, Gardner sprains an ankle making a cut, Bellomy gets clocked as he throws it to Denard over the middle, and Denard gets laid out. All three out for at least the game. Then Jack Kennedy comes in and he lights it up and ends up winning a Heisman.


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] To be honest, the team that scares me the most out of that bunch is Boise State. People tend to underestimate BSU, and they really are a solid football team. I still think last year's Boise St team was better though. I think I'd like a match up with Stanford much more than one with Kansas St. Just because if we're going to play in a BCS game, I want a top opponent to measure Michigan against. [Title]

Output: Fears


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Body] I can understand why the play stood as called, from a replay standpoint. But that was clearly a TD, and the official on the field got it wrong. He called him out of bounds without paying any attention to him knee being down. On the last play of the game, the Iowa defender was ALL over Roundtree, officials weren't even watching the fucking play. So I think Michigan got jobbed of a chance. But that being said, we still needed a 2-point conversion and overtime. Personally I believe Michigan didn't deserve to win, terrible play calling all day. Obviously Robinson has never heard of scrambling. [Title]

Output: Rapid Reaction


Input: [Date] 3 years 43 weeks ago [Body] A lot of teams ahead of us in the top 25 polls lost today. Look for us to move up quite a bit. Not sure if I should be excited or scared. [Title]

Output: Rankings


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] It is very unlikely that an abscess would affect his play on the field at all, pre or post operation. It's just uncomfortable is all. [Title]

Output: Not hurting play


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] My mindset for play calling has always been more on the aggressive side. Granted, I'm sure I wouldn't hold a coaching job very long. But to me, it makes sense to go for it on 4th and short almost every time when you're over the 50. Obvious exclusions would be kicking a game tying or winning field goal. And of course it's situational. But I just believe that your success rate will be higher when playing more aggressive in certain situations than conventional knowledge suggests. I have similar feelings against the use of the 'prevent defense.' (I'll save that rant for another time) [Title]

Output: 4th and Short


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Thanks for the interesting piece jamiemac. I find it a little scary to be favored in the Nebraska game specifically, but I am also weary about vegas favoring us at Iowa, at Illinois, and at Northwestern. Since we haven't played a single road game to this point, this truly doesn't make sense to me. We're all Michigan faithful here, and we've seen what has happened on the field and over the last several years. So wouldn't you all agree that it'd be smart to bet against Michigan in quite a few of these games? [Title]

Output: Wishing teams would over look us.


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Maybe Blake Griffin's Novak? [Title]

Output: Maybe Novak


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] M-Wolverine, you nailed that one! Is this Gophers video for real though? Don't they realize it does nothing but provide other schools with material to mock them? [Title]

Output: Perfect Video Followup


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] It should also include, do you like the "you suck" chant on 4th and 1 and the other team is going for it..... You'd think the people running the Band would have enough sense to wait until we stop them. This season alone, the band has done "You Suck" on a 4th down conversion 3 or 4 times, for which the opposing team has converted on all of them (ignoring 4th and a miles). [Title]

Output: It should also include, do


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Being in the middle of the student section after the ND win, I'd have to say I think the piped in music really pumped up the crowd. So I was a big fan. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] One note of disapproval, and it's considered trolling. Just shows people on this site aren't open to other opinions. [Title]

Output: Yep


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Sorry Brian, I don't agree with your poll, never have. I also don't agree with the fact that any one who voices disappointment gets their comment taken off. [Title]

Output: Sorry Brian, I don't agree


Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Body] I'm assuming you pay no attention to Boise St? [Title]

Output: I'm assuming you pay no


Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Brian, I love your blogs, but your BlogPoll every week just dumbfounds me. I think you're trying too hard to go along with the norm (essentially repeating the AP poll). You're a blogger, have your own opinion. You know just as well as the rest of us that Michigan is NOT a top 25 team. This appears to be going down the same line as the Rich Rod era. Beat a couple of crappy team plus Notre Dame, get ranked, lose to Michigan St., and subsequently every other B1G team. Our play on the field does not justify our rank. The only improvement in the D I've seen from last year is that we've forced some turn overs. And if anything, our offense has taken a nice little step back. [Title]

Output: idk


Input: [Date] 3 years 47 weeks ago [Body] Come on man. Don't be one of the dull minded masses. Why does everyone give South Florida a free pass into the top 20? Why? Because they were handed a victory from a clearly overrated Notre Dame team? You drop Georgia out and put in South Florida at 18? Tell me, do you really believe South Florida would beat Georgia on the field? [Title]

Output: Really?

Input: [Date] 4 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Go blue. This is my senior year. I have been to ever basketball game for the last four years. This year’s team was amazing. Thank you guys for giving Michigan sports something to be PROUD off. They’ve played their asses off, hats of to this team. I could not be happier with the way this season ended. GO BLUE, and good luck in future seasons!!! [Title]

Output: Go Blue


Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Title] Doubtful [Body]

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

Output: "Why these people can't let go and do something else, I don't know. They're locked in a prison of their own devising, being miserable about the state of the blog while they make it worse by constantly complaining about it." You (Brian) described your relationship with Michigan Football almost identically before the Ohio State game. Interesting (but probably meaningless) parallel,


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] Politely Declines [Body]

Output: Though the Bear Jew is world reknowned for his toughness and dietary ingenuity (prepare for lots of salmon and berries o-line!) his off-season conditioning program of hibernation has yet to produce optimal results in strength gains. The fact he would refuse to coach on Shabbat might also be an issue since The Game is still scheduled for Saturday before sundown. Despite his limitations, he would most likely maul the Free Press press corps at his first presser . . . only if they're kosher though. He at least merits an interview.


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] I think I need help [Body]

Output: I'm so numb, I didn't feel anything. I'd hoped the win would bring back that loving feeling. Nope. Nothing.


Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Title] More like [Body]

Output: tasteless, offensive and in no way appropriate. Given the response MGoBlog gave on Twitter to another Michigan blog that RT'd an insult to Michigan that contained a reference to PSU/Sandusky, I can't imagine the life of this thread will be a long one.


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] Correct! [Body]

Output: Those of you with DirecTV (myself included) will not be able to use ESPN3 to watch the game. Of course if DTV and ESPN recently struck a deal that someone wants to point out, I'll stand (happily) corrected.

Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] I wouldn't think so [Body]

Output: When Nike was in the picture they sold Tom Brady Orange Bowl throwbacks (with Brady on the back) and I bought (pre-scandal) a 1989 Rumeal Robinson throwback with the name on the back. Now I wish I could remove his name from the jersey . . .


Input: [Date] 3 years 13 weeks ago [Title] Why I'm afraid [Body]

Output: First he's crazy, you can't guard against that. Second, maybe of equal importance, I believe he is a former golden gloves champion. Two great reasons in my opinion to stay far out of his way.


Input: [Date] 3 years 14 weeks ago [Title] Wow [Body]

Output: 15 years gone and he STILL has great abs. The whole thing is a bit strange. When Dre left Death Row the relations between he and Tupac were less than ideal to put it mildly. . . Odd to read that Dre was the driving force behind this, strange how death/time changes feelings (no judgment).

Input: [Date] 3 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Signs for next year [Body]

Output: Over under on the number of "Tom" signs next year in Ann Arbor (do we need Jamie Mac to make it official)? By that time any Tom reference would have to be a 1%, no?


Input: [Date] 3 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Shameful [Body]

Output: How could they hand down a punishment without reviewing all the different angles? As MSU is proving, it will take at least a few weeks to glean anything from rather obvious replays.

Output: Well, unless you're a *5 recruit.


Input: [Date] 4 years 34 weeks ago [Title] If Harbaugh is the man [Body]

Output: the current timetable makes sense. I can imagine a situation where Harbaugh wants to finish this special season with Stanford and not leave before the bowl game and DB doesn't want to fire RR and leave the program in limbo for a month with people speculating "WHY HAVEN'T WE HIRED ANYONE YET?! WHAT ARE THEY DOING?! WHY IS HARBAUGH STILL IN CALIFORNIA?!" DB's actions, to me, say the decision has been made and Rich Rod will be let go but he can't announce the new coach until early Jan. and rather not leave an empty void at the top for a month.

Output: that pimp hand is let going to let you stay the night? Hell no! You won't get any cuddling either and you'll like it!


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Head Injuries [Body]

Output: are different. You don't tough out a concussion like you might an ankle sprain. As someone who suffered a few concussions in a short period of time that left me unable to read or think clearly for months, I can tell you that you only go back when you're ready to go full-bore. Limited action can still have wide-spread negtive effects such as exacerbating current symptoms or causing even more concussions if you aren't fully healed from the previous incident. With concussions you're either ready to go or you aren't, there is no middle ground.

Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] I learned how standards work [Body]

Output: I learned how standards work on my first dirt bike when I was 12 or so, and it wasn't hard to translate that into driving a stick. The first car I really drove extensively was my ex-gf's father's 944 in high school.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I understand the law [Body]

Output: I understand the law completely, and I stand by my point. A free-rider criticizing those who pay for the good they are consuming for free is an interesting concept.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I find it interesting that [Body]

Output: I find it interesting that someone advocating an illegal alternative would strike such a holier than thou tone, but that's just me.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I think you have it wrong [Body]

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

Output: Utilities are absolutely "national security stuff," and they should be more than fretting about the "possibility" that their systems may be compromised.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] From a national security [Body]

Output: From a national security perspective, this pales in comparison to what Snowden released. And I'm saying this as one of the affected.

Output: Dad bought it when I was 13 (1999) and we spent the next couple of years restoring it. Convinced him to drop a 351C in place of the 302 it came with stock. Pros: chick magnet, a ton of fun to drive Cons: cop magnet, 13MPG, no A/C Never going to get rid of it. Too many memories.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Or in this case we do know [Body]

Output: Or in this case we do know who is reading it, which is instructive.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It seems to me that you and I [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] I understand these arguments, [Body]

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


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

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


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I never understood this and [Body]

Output: I never understood this and it drove me nuts while I was in A2. It's MEIJER not Meijers.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Title] In the student section right [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 5 days ago [Title] If I'm not mistaken that [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 5 days ago [Title] At some point doesn't the [Body]

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

Output: This is the same coaching staff who set up shop at Penn State right after the Sandusky-related NCAA sanctions were imposed. As far as antics go, I wouldn't put anything past Beckman.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I think my senior year [Body]

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

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

Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I was just in Tbilisi, though [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I'm not really sure they are [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I had similar experience too, [Body]

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


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

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


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

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


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

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


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

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


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

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

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


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Bates-Diop would be a big [Body]

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

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

Output: Not that it really affects Indiana's status as the #1 contender


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I think BC should be higher [Body]

Output: I think BC should be higher on that list in reality. I've lived around Boston for my entire life and have only known 2 non-alum BC fans. It's the combination of a lack of interest in college sports in the area and the fact that people really find BC to be arrogant and annoying. Maybe if they were successful it would be different but they're not. They caught lightning in a bottle with Doug Flutie in the 80's and haven't done anything since. They fired their most successful recent football coach for daring to interview with the NFL and fired their most successful basketball coach of all time for no apparant reason. They are just the worst. EDIT: I should also mention that if you do care about college sports in this area you were likely a Big East hoops fan and hold a grudge against BC for single-handidly starting its demise to go play schools below the Mason Dixon line. Did I mention I don't like BC?

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I'm a big Providence College [Body]

Output: I'm a big Providence College hoops fan. I'm very excited about this series and thrilled that it honors the memory of the legendary Dave Gavitt, former PC coach and founder of the Big East. I love the new incarnation of the Big East. I don't miss any of the schools that have defected. The Friars have a much better chance to compete in a conference with smaller, like-minded, basketball-centric schools. It's a throwback to what the conference was originally supposed to be about. I think the series will be beneficial for both conferences but probably more so for the Big East. Out of conference schedules and performance are huge for a 10 team league. Hopefully in the years to come Michigan will make a trip out to Providence to play on Dave Gavitt Court. I would definitely be in attendence.

Output: Very important cause. My dad passed away of leukemia in 2011. He had a bone marrow transplant from a donor in Germany that they thought was successful at first but his cancer returned. I'll never forget the kindness of that stranger to give my dad a chance at life so it was an easy choice for me to join Be The Match. It's also a great thing to donate blood and platelets.

Input: [Date] 1 year 10 weeks ago [Title] Brady spent the AFC [Body]

Output: Brady spent the AFC Championship game last year forcing balls to Austin Collie because he was the only one he trusted at that point. I think Gallon is gonna have a great shot to not only make the Pats but thrive. I see them entrusting him with return duties right away to reduce wear and tear on Edelman.


Input: [Date] 1 year 12 weeks ago [Title] People here and around the [Body]

Output: People here and around the country forget what originally made the Big East great. The lack of football and the ability to keep northeastern city kids local caused its original success in the 80's. The conference became a national laughing stock because of what happened with its football programs but that was never supposed to be the emphasis. Now they have a chance to remake themselves in the image that the great Dave Gavitt always had in mind. I believe they will more than hold their own against the B1G. Some of the opinions on this thread are shortsighted and don't show a solid understanding of the history of the sport or where it's headed. Edit: For context I should add that I'm a die hard Providence fan.

Output: BC is not a major program. They are in a major conference though.


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Title] Mediocre? The winningest [Body]

Output: Mediocre? The winningest coach in the history of the school, 7 tournaments in 13 years, ran a clean program and moved them past their prior point shaving/gambling scandals. I hate BC but you can't say Al Skinner was mediocre.

Output: That was a real meeting of the minds.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] My high school teams were the [Body]

Output: My high school teams were the Blue Raiders so I always root for Middle Tennessee. Our logo/mascot was an eagle for some reason. MTSU went with what looks like a winged horse with a lightning bolt coming out of its mouth. Both solid choices.

Output: Don Zimmer charged the mound in the 2003 ALCS at Fenway. I was actually at that game in a standing room only section and couldn't see anything when the crowd stood up. This kid next to me said Pedro just threw Don Zimmer to the ground and I of course didn't believe him until my phone started blowing up.


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] My buddy and I are Red Sox [Body]

Output: My buddy and I are Red Sox fans and were walking back to our cars after seeing the Sox beat the Yankees in a regular season game in 2002 at Yankee Stadium. This one dude who was with a few of his friends was walking beside us and kept chanting "1918" over and over and over again. My friend eventually said something harmless like "scoreboard" but that was all this guy needed. He got inches away from my friend. He wanted a fight but when it was clear my friend wasn't going to swing at him he spit all over his face. We were in absolute shock. I've heard the new Yankee Stadium is a nice, family friendly place but it was a different atmosphere not too long ago. I'll never forget that moment under the Major Deegan Expressway. It was around then that I decided I didn't need to keep going to the South Bronx.


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] That would explain why most [Body]

Output: That would explain why most seating charts and pictures of the stadium don't have Sections 1-8 which is where I'm sitting. I believe they are 2nd level in the endzone on either side of the scoreboard.

Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] Though the Bear Jew is world reknowned for his toughness and dietary ingenuity (prepare for lots of salmon and berries o-line!) his off-season conditioning program of hibernation has yet to produce optimal results in strength gains. The fact he would refuse to coach on Shabbat might also be an issue since The Game is still scheduled for Saturday before sundown. Despite his limitations, he would most likely maul the Free Press press corps at his first presser . . . only if they're kosher though. He at least merits an interview. [Title]

I can imagine a situation where Harbaugh wants to finish this special season with Stanford and not leave before the bowl game and DB doesn't want to fire RR and leave the program in limbo for a month with people speculating "WHY HAVEN'T WE HIRED ANYONE YET?! WHAT ARE THEY DOING?! WHY IS HARBAUGH STILL IN CALIFORNIA?!" DB's actions, to me, say the decision has been made and Rich Rod will be let go but he can't announce the new coach until early Jan. and rather not leave an empty void at the top for a month. [Title]

Output: If Harbaugh is the man

Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] are different. You don't tough out a concussion like you might an ankle sprain. As someone who suffered a few concussions in a short period of time that left me unable to read or think clearly for months, I can tell you that you only go back when you're ready to go full-bore. Limited action can still have wide-spread negtive effects such as exacerbating current symptoms or causing even more concussions if you aren't fully healed from the previous incident. With concussions you're either ready to go or you aren't, there is no middle ground. [Title]

Output: That subjecting to him all those hits lined up as rb will be good for his longevity. Jags cant block, leading to semi truck hits on (with all do respect) glass like D-rob. Would love to see him utilized as more of a passing threat. However, when all is said and done there shouldnt be any worry of him making the roster, Coaches salivate on players like this that have multi-dimensional talents. Not to mention great marketability in the state of Florida and all around great TEAM TEAM TEAM guy.
