Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Body] That's an interesting approach. Certainly a confident approach to recruiting. Takes away the excitement from a big recruiting weekend, but at least you're getting kids you know want to be there. [Title]

Output: That's an interesting

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I'd expect ESPN to put up a hell of a fight for those rights when the current contract ends after the 2016/17 basketball season. With basketball and football near their peaks, the conference should be in line for a monster windfall on a new deal. And since ESPN doesn't have primary rights to the SEC (CBS does), they won't want to lose primary rights on the Big Ten either. [Title]

Output: I'd expect ESPN to put up a


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Check out the Red Iguana in SLC for some really good Mexican food. Either location is good, but Red Iguana 2 might have a shorter line. And yes, Utah is a wierd place for great Mexican food, but it really was some of the best I ever had. [Title]

Output: Red Iguana


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I first read that as "so its a no boner" and that left me very confused. [Title]

Output: No boner


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Its not just that show -- which youre right, not many people watch because its on at 1am or later -- but also all of the pregame/postgame/halftime wraps that they do all day long. Those are the things that people watch. [Title]

Output: Not just that show


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Extra tough if they lose since they'll need to lean on Wagner again tonight. [Title]

Output: Extra tough if they lose


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Good explanation, thank you. I've never really followed a double-elimination bracket before, so it was tough to figure out the logistics. I assumed Michigan would play again tonight with a loss, but wasn't sure who they wouldn't play. [Title]

Output: Perfect. Thank you.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Body] So I'm new to this whole double elimination softball bracket thing. I looked at it online this morning, and it just seems confusing as hell. I get that if Michigan wins, its nice and easy, and they are in the final. What I couldn't figure out is, what happens if they lose? [Title]

Output: Explain for us noobs

Input: [Date] 9 weeks 3 days ago [Body] The mobile/tablet has been overtaking and surpassing the desktop market for years. Give it a few more years and the majority of web traffic will be on mobile and tablets, with desktop making up a small fraction. You've seen several do it already, but soon the majority of sites will be mobile first layouts. [Title]

Output: Get used to it


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 4 days ago [Body] C'mon man...Arizona isn't THAT bad. They were a top 10 team last season and one of the more entertaining teams to watch. If you're going to cheer for a former Wolverine, then Arizona is good as any to cheer for. Auburn on the other hand was a hot mess defensively, which is why they fired their DC and brought in Muschamp. [Title]

Output: Top 10

Output: I got sick once but turned on


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Richt's seat definitely isn't cool. And certainly much warmer than a newly hired Harbuagh. Richt is basically like Carr circa 2005 or 2006. Or like Stoops now. He's been there forever, hasn't done much nationally lately, "only" wins 10 games a year, has changed/lost both coordinators recently, and fans are generally restless with the program. Richt should be somewhere around 30-40 IMO. [Title]

Output: Richt's seat

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 8 hours ago [Body] And goal #1 as head of recruiting operations will be getting his former player and top overall recruit Rashan Gary to sign with Michigan. No pressure Chris. [Title]

Output: Job #1


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 8 hours ago [Body] The main news here is that Chris Partridge (Pepper's and Rashan Gary's old coach) is now head of recruiting operations. From my understanding of things, he is the one that will directly replace Singletary. Soup is just moving into an official recruiting role and will primarily focus on recruiting the state of Michigan. [Title]

Output: Partridge is replacing Singletary, not Soup

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Another story... Co-Ed soccer league at Michigan. I was playing goalie for our team. The other team had this big girl that was just abusing the hell out of our girls. Dirty tackles, talking shit, just a real nasty player. So, she gets the ball near the goal, doesn't have much support from her team and is just kinda holding it waiting for the cavalry. I sprint out towards her and slide tackle the crap out her and the ball but I "accidentally" left my arm up and clothes lined the hell out of her in the process. Completely knocked her off her feet. As she was getting up enraged at the no call (you can get away with a lot as a goalie), I simply said "watch yourself around our girls." That pissed her off more, but our girls didn't have any more issues the rest of the game. And yes, I'm aware that I sound like a bully to girls in my two posts. These just happen to be two of my favorites. I'm an equal opportunity asshole. [Title]

Output: Another story... Co-Ed soccer


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 2 days ago [Body] After college, I was a substitute teacher for a bit. One week, I got gym class, which is the best sub gig there is. Even better, one day they had a teachers vs the 8th grade girls basketball game in front of the student body. As the gym teacher (but still a sub) they actually let me play. I got into the game in the second half and shortly after I entered the game, I went nuts on defense. In addition to harassing everyone on defense, I had a quick steal, a layup, and then one of those LeBron chase down blocks. Just swatted the shit out of it. I was killing it against those 8th grade girls. One possession after my block, they pulled me from the game. Apparently good defense is frowned upon amongst our educators. #TakeNoPrisioners #EvenIfTheyAre14YearOldGirls [Title]

Output: After college, I was a

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Bettman killed the popularity of the NHL with all of those lockouts. At one point, it was close to the NBA in terms of ratings. It's never recovered. That's on Bettman. [Title]

Output: Bettman killed the popularity


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 12 hours ago [Body] Just stop with the history lessons. Going back to levels of success in the 90s is irrelevant in today's college football world. What consistuted a successful season in the 80s and 90s is a lot different than the recent and current BCS and CFP era. Its like talking about how you had the dopest rotary phone in the world to some kid talking on a new smart phone. Cool history story old man. [Title]

Output: The 90s are irrelevant


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 12 hours ago [Body] C'mon...8 years is not an abberation. Especially when its the most recent 8 years. When you've sucked for the last 8 years, then you're just not very good. You can turn it around, but until then its not an abberation, its just the way it is. [Title]

Output: Eight yrs is not an abberation


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 12 hours ago [Body] Yeah...I don't think we want to get into a comparing recent accolades battle with MSU here. Going back to the old man "Bahhh...I used to BE somebody kid!!" argument is always a lame one. [Title]

Output: Yeah...I don't think we want


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 1 day ago [Body] You have it backwards. For CBS and FOX, they broadcast the games, and talk about the games on pre and post game shows, but that's it. ESPN talks about the NFL 24/7/365. Because of that, they are absolutely dependant on the NFL. Far, far more than any other sport. And its not just the rights to broadcast games that they need (that's a small bonus), its the rights to show NFL footage to fuel the countless shows that talk about the NFL on a 24/7/365 basis. Contrary to what people may think, the ability to do that doesn't come free. ESPN pays billions to be able to show those highlights. If they lost or compromised their ability to do that, it would be a crippling hit to the network. ESPN needs the NFL. The NFL doesn't need ESPN. [Title]

Output: No NFL would be a huge hit to ESPN


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 1 day ago [Body] They said the same thing about when TNT hired Shaq. How would he fit? The results on that have been mixed, Barkley is rumored to being close to retiring from that role, so Simmons could absolutely have a good home there. [Title]

Output: They said the same about Shaq


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Stephen A was essentially blacklisted by the network at one point. You weren't allowed to book him as a guest after he was fired. Then, there were some changes high up in the company, he was brought back on First Take as a guest, and then they wound up building the entire show around him and Skip. And the rest is troll history. [Title]

Output: Stephen A


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 1 day ago [Body] A lot of what people percieve about ESPN these days isn't how every part of the company is. Outside the Lines and E:60 still do good work, and there are several writers and reporters that still hold true to the "old ESPN" ways of doing things. OTL's Floyd Mayweather piece is a good example. That was good journalism, but it was just buried in an avalance of self-promotion. Its just everyone sees the foolishnes of Skip and Stephen A and the other assorted clowns and it winds up giving the rest of the people that work there a bad name. Trust me, there are plenty of people that work there that hate the way things are going just as much as the fans are. You just have to do what they do -- block out the bad shit and focus on the good work that people do. Its frustrating for fans and employees both. [Title]

Output: Its not all that way


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I think you'll see a good amount of writers follow him. Depending on who they get to take over Simmons role at Grantland, you could see a culture shift there. Simmons and the culture he was promising was a big reason he was able to bring in so many writers for Grantland. It'll definitely be interesting to see what happens to the site after he leaves. [Title]

Output: ^This


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I think he might actually enjoy being on TNT a lot more than his ESPN NBA appearances. The TNT guys are allowed to say a lot more than the ESPN guys are. Simmons would probably enjoy that. I could see him signing with Time Warner. That would allow him to create a new site on Bleacher Report and give more legitamcy to that, it would allow him to continue producing sports docs for HBO, and it would give him access to TNT NBA coverage. The only thing Time Warner doesn't have is skin in the NFL. Not sure how important that would be to him. [Title]

Output: I think Time Warner could be a home for him


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Well that explains it. [Title]

Output: Oops


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Body] You must be remembering things different than I do. Michigan's problems those first two losses weren't the QB's fault. It was all on the defense that lost a ton of talent from the 97 team. The defense (and fumbling RBs) blew it against Notre Dame, and they just had no answers for McNabb. The Brady/Henson platoon had nothing to do with the losses in those first two games. And Brady threw for 31/56, 375 yds, but only one TD vs Ohio State. Was that Henson's (who didn't play) fault too? I swear...everyone remembers Brady's time at Michigan so different than it actually was. [Title]

Output: How?


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Under or improperly utilized is different than underrated. I don't think anyone is underrating Brady. Dude is an all-timer. [Title]

Output: Different things


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Breaston was a great returner. And everyone remembers him as a great returner. I don't get the underrated notion either. Its not like he was also secretely an excellent receiver or anything on top of that. [Title]

Output: Breaston was a great


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Are we talking underrated as a Wolverine, or underrated in his post Wolverine days? Because if we're talking as a Wolverine, y'all are remembering a very diffferent Breaston than I do. I remember him as an outstanding return man, which is pretty much exactly what he was. If I had to throw out a suggestion, I might go Navarre. Extremely solid, never talked about. [Title]

Output: Breaston?


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Body] More or less what I was thinking. He's #2 all-time for passing at Michigan, and at or near the top of just about ever passing record Michigan has. Yet with all the great QBs that are mentioned playing at Michigan, he is never brought up. Was he the best? No. But he was pretty damn good, and definitely underappreciated. [Title]

Output: ^^THIS


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Brady is awesome, but the vast majority of his accomplishments were post Wolverine playing time. [Title]

Output: Brady is awesome, but...

Input: [Date] 12 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Maybe that's why Mayweather kept hugging him. The healing power of love. "I know you're in pain now, but it'll be OK." That Floyd is such a good guy. [Title]

Output: Maybe that's why Mayweather


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Sure, you didn't say "its not an accomplishment" verbatim. But saying "its not that great of an accomplishment" and "its not an accomplishment" are just about the same thing. You just added some extra words in the middle, but the meaning is the same. If you don't believe me, switch the words "an accomplishment" with "a flattering outfit" and try that on your wife or girlfriend the next time she asks about how she looks. [Title]

Output: OK


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Lol, ummm you sure about that? You said: "which is not that great of an accomplishment." You're double wrong on this one man. [Title]

Output: Lol, ummm you sure about


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 11 hours ago [Body] McGary didn't "rise to the elite level" he was an elite recruit (at one point the #2 overall guy IIRC) -- much like Brown -- when he committed to Michigan. [Title]

Output: McGary was a top recruit


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 23 hours ago [Body] Well, poop. [Title]

Output: Well, poop.

Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I really have no idea if he was being sarcastic or not. The fact of the matter is that there are enough delusional people on this site that its tough to tell whether someone is being sarcastic, or if they are just fucking stupid. [Title]

Output: Honestly tough to tell sometimes


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Considering they'll start the season unranked, if Michigan wins their first three games, they *might* sneak into the top 25. Or they might be just outside of it. So, you know...borderline top 25. [Title]

Output: Yeah, borderline


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Body] C'mon man...Purdue and BC rarely host a prime time game where they are the marquee team in the game. Sure, Purdue played a prime time night game last season, but that was only because they were hosting #11 Notre Dame. And BC did it because they were hosting #9 USC. They are on prime time because they just so happen to be hosting a top 10'ish team. If Michigan looked like they were going to be a top-10'ish team by week 4, then sure, the odds of the BYU game being a prime time night game go way up. But the reality is, they will probably be a borderline top 25 team that's playing a team whose season is already over. [Title]

Output: Lol


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Know what else impresses recruits and showcases your program? Winning. Night games are tricks you use to impress recruits when your program is a dumpster fire. [Title]

Output: Know what else impresses


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Body] BYU opens at Nebraska, home v Boise State, and then at UCLA. They will likely be underdogs in all of those games and could be heading to Ann Arbor at 0-3. No one wants to watch a borderline top 25 team play an 0-3/1-2 team in primetime. [Title]

Output: BYU might be 0-3 going in to that game


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I said this in another post, but there's a good chance BYU will be 0-3 heading in to that game. There will be several ranked v ranked games happening that week that would be much better primetime options. [Title]

Output: No way


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Body] They do, but BYU could possibly be winless going in to that game (they open at Nebraska, home v Boise State, and at UCLA). Michigan is likely to be unranked going in to that game, or at the very best around #20. And #20 Michigan vs. 1-2 or 0-3 BYU sounds like a ratings black hole. [Title]

Output: BYU might be 0-3 going in to that game


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Body] The network is partially controlled by the Big Ten, so I don't see why they wouldn't be able to say no to them. Personally, I'm fine with this. Night games should be special. Two unranked teams with no history (and therefore good storylines) playing each other doesn't feel special. Which is probably why the national networks passed on it. [Title]

Output: I would think so


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Body] My guess is that Michigan only wants to do primetime if its going to be a national ABC/ESPN type of game. BYU v Michigan feels more like a BTN game. And there are better options for national prime time games that week like UCLA at Arizona, USC at Arizona State, Utah at Oregon, A&M at Arkansas, and Tenn at Florida. [Title]

Output: In years past maybe


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Michigan really only had two options for a prime time game -- MSU and OSU. And from what I remember reading in the past, they just don't want either of those two games to be held at night. The rest of it is up to the networks, Michigan is likely to be unranked for a while, and the rest of Michigan's home schedule is poop. Michigan v. BYU doesn't really scream PRIME TIME when there's better options on the table. [Title]

Output: I don't think its Hackett


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Body] The options for Michigan hosting a prime time game suitable for a national audience are slim to non-existent. As good of a draw as Michigan is, its tough to commit to a likely unranked v unranked matchup this far out. Especially when they already have Michigan v Minnesota on the schedule. The only real option is vs. MSU, but I'm guessing Michigan/Ann Arbor said no to that one. [Title]

Output: Not too surprising


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Its $1B spread out over 65 years. So the headline should really be "Judge approves plan for NFL to pay $15M for the next 65 years. NFL execs and lawyers sprain wrists from excess high-fiving." [Title]

Output: Over 65 years


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Body] The $1 billion dollar settlement sounds big and splashy, but it is going to wind up being a tiny, tiny drop in the NFL's bucket because this is going to be spread out over 65 YEARS. That's only $15M a year for the NFL, which considering Goodell has a base salary of around $35M, and they generate billions and billions a year, this is absolutely couch change material for them. Plus, as others have said, the NFL doesn't have to disclose what they knew as a result of the deal. Really, things couldn't have gone much better for the NFL. [Title]

Output: This is absolutely nothing for the NFL


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Body] With all the cash Google has, it may be easier and even cheaper to just buy a smaller wireless company like Sprint or T-Mobile than trying to get a wedge of spectrum on their own. [Title]

Output: With all the cash Google has,


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Body] No. Malzone had on white sleeves, but they were tight. The guy in the clip has baggy white sleeves and is pretty tall. Going off the clip before, I'm pretty sure it's #19. The first blurred number is definitely a 1. [Title]

Output: No. Malzone had on white


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Pretty sure that whoever QB #19 is (Speight maybe? don't have a roster in front of me...) is the guy on the losing end of the "if you're gonna look at me with the look..." line. [Title]

Output: Pretty sure that whoever QB


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Yeah that's why 8 teams is too many. Scheduling an 8-team playoff would produce an awful lot of repeat matchups I would think. [Title]

Output: Yeah that's why 8 teams is


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Consolation games always sound good on paper, but are generally just bad. Two dejected teams with nothing to play for. [Title]

Output: Consolation games always


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] There would probably be years where you'd get a three loss team in there. [Title]

Output: There would probably be years


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I still like the idea of six teams in a playoff. Top two get a bye and 3v6 and 4v5 kick off the bowl season around Dec 20th or so. That gives the top teams something (a bye) to shoot for, give the 3-6 seed teams enough extra time to rest and prepare for the semis on NYE, and it limits the number of games the players have to play. As much fun as an 8-team playoff would be having to play a conference championship, and then three more games for the top teams that make the playoffs is an awful lot of football. And yes it's just one more game, but you need to draw a line somewhere. Plus, the 7th and 8th best teams are going to be crap anyways. A top 6 is good enough. 5 Conf champs plus a wildcard. [Title]

Output: I still like the idea of six


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I liked that Fisch called Jameis out about leaving out the crab legs. I also liked that Harbaugh seemingly had no idea what anyone was talking about. "You did what now?" I also wonder if there was a discussion amongst the producers and Winston's agent about leaving out the whole rape thing. If someone asks me if I've had any run ins with the cops, you'd think that would be the first thing that comes to mind. Not some BB gun incident. [Title]

Output: Fisch


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] If basketball at a pro level isn't in his future, I'd rather see him get a solid degree and education so he can have a good head start on a future in the working world. [Title]

Output: If basketball at a pro level


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] If he accepts a medical hardship, I believe it means his career is over period. If he wanted to try and play somewhere else, I think he has to turn down the medical hardship scholarship from Michigan and transfer elsewhere. I don't think you can be on a medical hardship scholarship for a year or two, and then transfer and go play somewhere else. [Title]

Output: I think it means he's done period

Output: Too soon


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I wore one last spring for a broken toe. Might be time to updated your medical footware knowledge. And to stop being an ass to recruit's moms. [Title]

Output: Had one for a broken toe


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Body] The bleeped out word is "cockdance." "If you want to look at me with that look, then go cockdance somewhere else." Harbaugh creates new swear words with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. [Title]

Output: Cockdance


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Body] It'll save the people that really only want 10 channels like 20-25% on their bill. Instead of paying $70 for internet and $60 for cable, they'll pay $70 for internet and $25 for cable. And that's only assuming the cable companies don't jack up the price of your internet service for dropping most of the cable channels they offer. Or if they don't introduce some sort of hardware you have to rent to unbuddle for $10/month. None of these companies will go into an unbundled future without finding a way to make more money from it. [Title]

Output: It'll save


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Body] They include those channels because they don't cost much. Whereas ESPN gets around $5.75 per subscriber, they only get $0.74 for ESPN2, and $0.21 for ESPNU. Channels like TNT ($1.28) or Fox Sports 1 ($0.68) don't really cost that much either. TruTV is $0.10. Most of the small channels people hate at are around a quarter per month or less. So unbundling and droppping them doesn't really save much. This whole thing is a really slippery slope for consumers, and a real case of be careful what you wish for. A la carte is almost always more expensive than bulk shopping. A real easy way this could go over the next decade or so is ESPN going the route of HBO and offering a stand alone service for like $10-15/month for just ESPN (or $20/month for all the ESPN networks, or $25/month for the entire Disney lineup), and then selling the individual games as a pay per view style option. Think about what a marque event like the Pacquiao-Mayweather event goes for, and what a big college football game would cost to watch. People would be longing for a return to bundling real quick. [Title]

Output: Those channels don't cost much


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I don't think there is crazy potenial on offense. There's potential for it to be average, and that's about it. We don't have the skill position players to light up the scoreboard and become a great offense. I think we'll actually be a really frustrating offense most of the season. Lots of stalled drives and three and outs. Since we don't have the game breakers on offense to stretch a defense, we should be a pretty easy offense to contain. Best case scenario, the offense becomes average, doesn't turn the ball over, can grind out some yards on the ground and we win a lot of 20-14 type games. [Title]

Output: Potential


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Body] People like Holtz dont retire because he gets paid a ton a money to work a handful of days a year. Why walk away from easy money like that? And the reason ESPN just doesn't get rid of him is because they all sign 3, 4, 5 year long deals to be analysts and you can't just fire someone in the middle of a contract for no good reason without having to pay them the entire contract. Its just bad business. So in this instance, his contract is up, ESPN wants to rethink the Saturday show Rece hosted, wants to move on from Holtz, and Holtz, being old as fuck, rich, and not wanting to start over decides to move on too. [Title]

Output: Contracts and $$$$

Input: [Date] 16 weeks 3 days ago [Body] This makes little sense. How can you argue the virtues of the Big Ten if the Big Ten never wins? If you want to argue in favor of the Big Ten against SEC fans or whoever, you need them to win. Your stance is hypocritical. [Title]

Output: This makes little sense. How


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 3 days ago [Body] But it is good for the conference in a sense. OSU winning the title breaks down a lot of the "Big Ten can't win" crap that gets thrown around in recruiting. If the Big Ten can regularly make the final four in CBB and CFB that helps the overall prestige of the conference, which helps attract better players, bigger TV contracts, and better coaching. [Title]

Output: But it is good for the


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Body] A giant number on a skybox would be better. Put all the old numbers back into circulation if you want. Or if a player wants to switch to the #1 or #2 or #47, let them do it, but without the patch. People in the stands can't see the patch anyways, and its still too small on TV to make any sense for the casual fan. But, have a big ol' #2 Charles Woodson on the side of a giant skybox, and the next time Blake Countess makes a big play, its super easy to have the director and camera guy to cut to a shot of that sign on the skybox afterwards. Plus, the people in the stands can look up at any time, and see a big ol' #2 on the building and say "fuck yea, Charles Woodson was awesome." And yes, I know Woodson's number isn't retired. But it should be. He was fucking awesome. [Title]

Output: A giant number on the skybox would be better


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Good. Never liked the patch and never liked the legends jerseys. Put the retired numbers on the skyboxes and let our stars of today create their own legacies. [Title]

Output: Good. Never liked the patch


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 6 days ago [Body] While Michigan may be making the switch away from Adidas, it won't be a factor for Brown because if he's a true one-and-done he'll be gone before they can wear anything other than Adidas. [Title]

Output: While Michigan may be making


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 12 hours ago [Body] What was the bet? [Title]

Output: What was the bet?


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 23 hours ago [Body] Every so often I think just how crazy it is that a kid tweets at 9:57 he's committing to Michigan, and at 10:01 I'm reading on a Michigan board there's a full fledged article on the commitment. Technology man. [Title]

Output: Every so often I think just


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Given what we saw on the field, yes. [Title]

Output: Given what we saw on the


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 2 days ago [Body] And don't get me wrong, I sure as hell hope Shane blossoms under this new coaching staff. He's seemingly a nice kid, and I wish the best for him. And having him be neck and neck for that starters job would be great for this season, and even better for next season. [Title]

Output: And don't get me wrong


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 2 days ago [Body] If Cardale Jones is an anomaly -- and he is -- then guys like Shane Morris are the norm. There are tons and tons of QBs that just don't pan out or live up to expectations. Now in year three, its becoming more obvious Shane is falling into the later category. Everyone gets an opportunity, and some are able to make more out of it than others. Its just the way it is. [Title]

Output: If Jones is an anomaly, Morris is the norm


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Here's where a lot of my Shane disbelief comes from: I saw him in person a ton as a recruit. I watched him at three Elite 11 camps, the full week of practice and games at The Opening, and the week of practices for Under Armour All American Game. Only the UAAAG came after he had mono problems, and he was clearly off as a result of that so I'll give him a pass there. But all of the other issues he displayed in those other camps and settings are the exact same issues he's displayed on the field at Michigan. Even super basic ones like throw with some touch and don't rifle the ball at a guy 5 yards away. So while you're right that's its only been a handful of appearances, the fact that some of those basic issues still are issues is what makes me think its not so much the coaching, but Shane. Because I know for a fact he's been told not to do that at every single camp and practice I saw him at. [Title]

Output: I watched him a ton as a recruit


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I wholeheartedly agree the previous staff's coaching, gameplanning, and development was hot garbage. No argument there. But, I guess the point I'm trying to make is that Shane had the same opportunities as every other QB on the roster. And there seems to be this desire to give him the benefit of the doubt, or create excuses for him, or whatever you want to call it just because he was a 5-star QB. I personally, don't care about any of that. He's about to be one of 5 playing time eligible scholarship QBs on the roster in the fall. Whatever QB wins the job will do so because he made the most of his opportunities and talent. [Title]

Output: Let me rephrase a bit


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I don't think so. Say Malzone or Speight grabs the no. 2 spot and spends a season getting the no.2 reps in practice and games. What makes you think a redshirted Shane will then be able to pass Malzone/Speight in 2016 (not to mention O'Korn and Gentry) and take the starter's job for his final two seasons? Its harsh, but what's best for everyone if Shane doesn't grab the no. 2 spot on the depth chart this season is to just let his final two seasons of eligibility expire to open up a scholarship for 2017. [Title]

Output: I don't think so


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Shane's problems haven't been that he's been given an opportunity to succeed. And no offense, but the whole opportunity to succeed excuse is bullshit and probably goes against every fiber of Harbaugh's values. You're a player on the team, you have the same playbook, resources, and practice time as everyone else. You make your own opportunities so that when the time comes for your number to get called, you can succeed. So I'm not buying the whole Shane hasn't been given an opportunity to succeed nonsense. He's been year two years. That's plenty of time. Shane's issue is the same issue he's had since high school. He locks in on a receiver, he struggles with accuracy, and tries to rifle the ball to the receiver whether he's 30 yards away or 5 yards away. The fact that he is still struggling with those issues would lead me to think that he has in fact been given the opportunity to succeed, but hasn't done what he needs to in order to fix them and keeps reverting to those bad habits. Maybe Harbuagh fixes those, or maybe he doesn't. But Shane isn't going to get any special treatment and will have the same opportunity to succeed as every other QB on the roster. Its up to him to make the most of it. Same as before. [Title]

Output: Opportunity to succeed isn't his problem


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I mean, I get the homer optimism, but...really? What makes you think MSU will be a tougher test than the defending national champs? I feel like we have a better shot of fixing our broken offense to beat MSU, than we do fixing both sides of the ball to stop Ohio State. [Title]

Output: Lol, why?


Input: [Date] 1 year 37 weeks ago [Title] Not saying we should get [Body]

Output: Not saying we should get Loeffler, but their situation depth-wise is as bad as it is here at some key positions on offense. They've had a lot of injuries at RB, graduated some WR's and Logan Thomas has regressed this year, making a lot of careless mistakes, worse than what Gardner's been doing. I do think there are better candidates than him. I think he'd be like a DeBord or a more innovative version of Borges, with better QB coaching, too. And that may be just fine for many people.


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Title] I think middle-schoolers [Body]

Output: I think middle-schoolers doing organized conditioning and the pressure coaches face may be a bit more uncommon outside of the South, but year-round conditioning certainly is not. I think in parts of the South, you do see smaller programs emulate larger-schools more often, but something like year-round conditioning, formal and informal, has been around for a while pretty much everywhere.


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] Look at CRex's post below. [Body]

Output: Look at CRex's post below. It's not so simple as looking at height and weight. Denard has strong legs, but he has relatively long legs and a high waist compared to a lot of RB's. That's part of the reason he runs high and it also makes you susceptible to lower body injuries as time goes on. It's not just height and weight, it's his build/proportions and his running style. He also doesn't have a particularly large neck or trap muscles like some of these other runningbacks, either. Denard is a little smaller than Michael Vick, and even though he plays QB, you can see that he's not a big guy and he's going up against linemen and LB'ers on a normal basis and it's taken its toll.


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] I agree about his pad level [Body]

Output: I agree about his pad level and upright running style. Even when he's between the tackles, he runs high, partly due to where his center of gravity being relatively high.


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] I agree. You can point to [Body]

Output: I agree. You can point to guys like Chris Johnson all you want, but the fact is that he's not the norm. If you run a 4.2 and has had sick numbers at RB through high school and college, than yes, his size is not as much of a factor. But, most RB's don't have Chris Johnson's build, who is pretty thickly built himself if you see him in person. I remember thinking Clinton Portis was on the small side, and while that may have been true, he had more of a RB build.


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] The reason he's projected to [Body]

Output: The reason he's projected to be a WR is partly due to what other QB's have done, Denard's build, injury history, and his upside. I understand Denard was successful running the ball between the tackles, but I don't know why people are so quick to judge Denard at WR when he hasn't been playing the position very long. Whether he goes to RB or WR, he will have to learn a lot of new skills. Let the guy continue to learn and develop. Teams will probably give him some handoffs, but if he wants to grow and "own" a position, it's probably going to be as a slot WR. Kinda OT, but Denard is a guy who I could see blowing up in some capacity in the CFL, just sayin'.


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] I think DC would be a better [Body]

Output: I think DC would be a better neutral site.


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] A lot of people acknowledge [Body]

Output: A lot of people acknowledge that he can be a good runningback for all the reasons you mention, but a lot of people are thinking from a longevity perspective as well. I think a lot of people look at his build and at what other QB's have done and say that WR is the best spot, but we've seen that he has great running skills besides being fast that would make him a potential weapon in the running game. But, there should be caution for him at RB as well, not just for durability issue, but because runningback is simply a different position, even from the running perspective. If we're going to be nit-picky, Denard does have a tendency to dance at times. His skills at RB were best observed, IMO, in the inside running game, but I do question whether he'd be an effective off-tackle runner. I think he could be effective as a zone runner, but who knows.Either way, I think he has runningback skills, but people are concerned about his longevity.


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] A lot of that can be [Body]

Output: A lot of that can be alleviated with better route running skills. Part of it is muscle memory as well. He still looks to be relatively upright with his weight a bit far back away from his feet but I think as he learns how to run these routes, he will fix this. Maybe after the catch when he's reacting more, as he did as a QB, he regresses and stumbles, but I expect him to run much cleaner routes at least.


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] I don't think he gets to that [Body]

Output: I don't think he gets to that level, either. Harvin was such a dynamic athlete in high school, especially at wide receiver, it wasn't surprising to see him pick up full-time WR so quickly. I was actually more impressed with the way he was used at Florida. But, I agree that there are certain things that Harvin has been used to at least practicing for going on 10 years now that Denard will have to pick up some of before he's anything like the natural WR that Harvin is.


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] I think Harvin is a best-case [Body]

Output: I think Harvin is a best-case scenario. Denard is similar in that he will probably get some snaps in some sort of wild-cat/option scenario or in a jet sweep or just something out of the backfield. But, Harvin's been a receiver for a while and he just has those instincts that may be difficult for Denard to pick up. I just hope that he can get as healthy as he can as soon as possible. He's a guy who could be very effective in the right situation, but he could just as easily be wasted, IMO.


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] I think it has peaked as [Body]

Output: I think it has peaked as well. I think the novelty of the BCS has kind of worn off and although the playoff will breath new life into the sport, I think it'll be short-lived. I think a lot of the interest has also aligned with the increased interest in all levels of football, recruiting, and gambling. It seems like we may have peaked in a number of these areas, and if it hasn't peaked, than perhaps the rate of growth of interest has peaked and we may be plateauing soon. I think a new technological/media product will have to emerge if things are to continue on the path we've seen in the past decade and a half or so.


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Title] I think Turgeon is a very [Body]

Output: I think Turgeon is a very good coach and they're on a positive trajectory. As for why we can't pack a basketball stadium, you can ask Maryland about their abysmal football attendance. Basketball is just a bigger deal there and really the main major sport that they've had any consistent success at recently. If they recruit the area better, they will be a very dangerous team in the Big Ten and at minimum, they'll be in the top half of the Big Ten for a while.


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Title] I think Robinson needs to [Body]

Output: I think Robinson needs to stay another year and be a centerpiece of the offense.


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Title] This is a great fit for [Body]

Output: This is a great fit for Loeffler and VT. I think this should breath new life into them offensively.


Input: [Date] 2 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Maryland is below the [Body]

Output: Maryland is also below the Mason-Dixon line. And since we obsess about media markets when talking about conference expansion, Woodbridge, VA is in the DC market just like the homes of people like Countess, Furman, and countless others who've either been on the team or who've we've recruited. The only reason why this nuance is brought up is because people see "VA" next to his name and all of a sudden he's a longshot Southern recruit when the reality is that he's a Mid-Atlantic recruit in the same market that we, OSU, PSU and others have had success recruiting.


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Title] I'm doubtful about Denard's [Body]

Output: I'm doubtful about Denard's prospects at the next level, but I actually think playing nickel or something might not be a bad idea. We don't know how well he can catch, although perhaps playing slot and catching some drags and outs would be feasible. But, Denard is strong and tough and doesn't shy away from contact. I think returning kicks will be his most likely landing spot, I could see the attraction to the idea of him playing corner, in addition to wide receiver. He could probably take snaps as a wild cat or at runningback, but he'd probably transition to WR over time for a number of reasons, health being an important one.


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Title] I went to Michigan and UVA [Body]

Output: I went to Michigan and UVA and I'm not saying that UVA would be a perfect fit, especially not culturally. I think a lot of flagship universities with high-level academics/research and good/decent sports in very nice college towns could fit in the Big Ten. And the fact that UVA has a lot of East Coasters, like a few Big Ten schools and is located in the Mid-Atlantic helps given the recent expansions. I do disagree with a number of the characterizations you made about UVA and its environs, but if you do make those characterizations about UVA, you could also make them about Penn St., Maryland, and Rutgers to a similar extent. The southern gentleman mentality you mention is probably the most significant differentiating quality between UVA and Big Ten schools. I went to high school in Fairfax County, Virginia and it was funny how when I went to UM, I was seen as a southerner, in the pejorative sense, more than anything else and my buddy who's from Montgomery County, MD was seen as a cool East Coaster, so ignorance and geographical stereotypes are alive and well in Big Ten country as well.


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Title] Stevie Brown looked like a [Body]

Output: Stevie Brown looked like a beast when he first came to Michigan. He had a solid senior season, but he made a number of great plays on special teams early on during his Michigan career. He also seems like an overall good guy. I'm glad to see him putting together this kind of season.


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Title] I agree with you, but the [Body]

Output: I agree with you, but the year Stevie has had so far has been pretty good so far. It would have been nice to have had some Thorpe winners, though.


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Title] What you say is true, but the [Body]

Output: What you say is true, but the political boundary between the states actually is significant. Northern Virginia was basically a backwater while Suburban Maryland was the premier suburb of Washington DC decades ago. Now, Northern Virginia has come into its own and has become more significant than Suburban Maryland economically an and is just as livable for the most part, which pisses off longtime residents and economic development officials/politicians in Maryland. And even though Maryland had slaves, being a part of the Union and being less politically and culturally conservative has always been something that Maryland has boasted about. Even if NoVa is different, it's still tied to Richmond. I agree about Charlottesville and UVA. I don't think it's more cosmopolitan than Ann Arbor, but I think it'd fit in to the Big Ten pretty easily.


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Title] He may be underappreciated [Body]

Output: He may be underappreciated from the standpoint that a lot of people made Burke seem worse than he was when he was debating going pro after last season. It was good that he came back, but he was great towards the stretch last season and he only helped himself in camps during the offseason, which is what I think he would have done had he declared after last season. His size isn't ideal, but people seemed to underrate how skilled he was. Even some analysts didn't see it. So, I'm glad he came back but it was clear after last season that some people underappreciated him. Not now, though.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] I suspected something like [Body]

Output: I suspected something like this. Either he was coasting somehow or he knew that Wiscy would have some difficulties ahead.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Sounds like my experience in [Body]

Output: Sounds like my experience in Morgantown. Morgantown is crazy, especially for rivalry games.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Please stop repeating this [Body]

Output: Please stop repeating this myth. UVA and VT have been together for less than ten years. As long has VT doesn't remain in a dumpster-fire of a conference, than the legislature is not going to obstruct things. There are certain circumstances present in the instance where the legislature got involved.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Is it common for the ACL to [Body]

Output: Is it common for the ACL to be injured along with the patella? I ruptured my patella tendon and am rehabbing it, but there's an issue of buckling and lack of stability that I fear may be ACL-related. Along with the contact involved with the injury, chronic patellar tendonitis was a big contributing factor for me. I know it's different from a dislocation, but it's somewhat related still. Thanks for this post, though.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] nm double post [Body]

Output: nm double post


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Utah is a flagship school, [Body]

Output: Utah is a flagship school, not bad academically, has decent sports, is located in a fast growing and economically well-off state, and fits the geography. I don't think it's correct to say that no one say Utah going to the Pac-12.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I dunno how it affects it, [Body]

Output: I dunno how it affects it, but Michigan lacrosse is on the upward trajectory either way. Michigan is a well-known brand in lacrosse-rich areas and the sport has become more popular in the midwest. I think having matchups with Maryland and having games available on the BTN will definitely help.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I agree. It is a smart choice [Body]

Output: I agree. It is a smart choice from an athletics perspective. And, for the basketball-oriented programs in the conference, I'm sure they were less reluctant about this. When we talked Big Ten expansion, I'd always thought that while Louisville wouldn't be a target for us, it would be a good get for another BCS conference, whether it's the Big 12, SEC, or ACC, which I thought was the least likely, although that was before Pitt and 'Cuse joined.

Output: Now will that be arriving Next Day Air Early A.M. or Next Day Air Saver?


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Title] And... here's the new look! [Body]

Output: I can't say I'm happy with breaking the clean look of our field, but it's not the end of the world. Today's news is a reminder of more important concerns.


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Title] I personally think the [Body]

Output: I personally think the article's headline is a bit misleading because the "profit" was on Michigan's expense allowance for the game, and does not include Michigan's share of the remaining bowl revenue for the Sugar Bowl and other bowls. Unless the conference had to pay more in unused tickets than it received for its bowl bids, Michigan should still pocket a nice chunk of change from its share of the remainder.


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Different situation this year? [Body]

Output: LSU fans quickly gobbled up the school's allotment of 37,000 tickets, breaking a school record for a regular-season road game. Oregon sold out its 15,000-ticket allotment. http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/ncf/news/story?id=6715802 Given the misbalance between the schools' allotments last year, I don't expect there is room for Mr. Jones to give more tickets to Michigan. This year, we aren't the equivalent of LSU facing a distant, nascent fanbase. We are matched against the defending national champions who are located within driving distance of Dallas. I suspect Jones will use the remainder of the tickets for local/Cowboys purposes, and the best we could hope for is a small group of seats or a large allotment of standing room only seats.


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Title] http://www.mgoblue.com/ticket [Body]

Output: http://www.mgoblue.com/tickets/fbl-cowboys-classic.html Victors Club members with 50 or more priority points did not face a limit unlike those who could order yesterday. Anyone who ordered more than 4 with less points either will have their order reduced, or the Athletic Department did not enforce their own policy, which is frustrating for those of us who would have ordered 1-2 more but were maxed out.


Input: [Date] 4 years 19 weeks ago [Title] I think the NCAA did not [Body]

Output: I think the NCAA did not suspend the players to provide OSU the opportunity to appeal. Although they ended up only appealing the 5th suspended game, if there had been less proof, OSU potentially could have appealed the entire charge/punishment, which could have led to no suspensions if successful. You could think of it similarly to being on bail until final sentencing.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] God help him get the support [Body]

Output: God help him get the support of the fanbase if he can't even face his old team. That game is a bellwether for the rest of the season and beyond. Think back to the MWC team we played at the start of 2008. It's an opportunity to show progress against an up-and-coming non-AQ team.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] I was more disappointed from [Body]

Output: I was more disappointed from that article to see that Hoke bailed out of SDSU with nothing more than a text message to his players. Michigan should have provided him the opportunity to take the extra 4-6 hours to hold a team meeting and explain his decision in person.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] You're absolutely right. [Body]

Output: You're absolutely right. Hoke will have fewer distractions than RR due to the relationship with the fanbase and media that is clearly going to be less strained than it has been the past three years. However, the only good that can provide is if it leads to more winning. A smoother relationship with former players and boosters has not and will never be a substitute for winning. Dave Brandon clearly felt that Hoke is qualified for the job, and he does not deserve a pass due to his lack of experience as a BCS coach. I will definitely be cheering like crazy at every game next year. But until Hoke starts performing in the areas where RR failed, confident and inspiring talk will not have me convinced we are immediately on track for greatness again.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] What does letting go of RR [Body]

Output: What does letting go of RR have to do with applying the same standards to our new coach? If Hoke can't do better than 3 wins next year, or 7-6 in year 3, would you really think we should keep him? Judging by people's expectations here, 7-6 by the third year would be highly unlikely. He would be significantly underperforming, and undeserving of a fourth year based on traditional Michigan expectations.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Given the question they were [Body]

Output: Given the question they were answering, I read it as "if we don't win at least 6 games, Hoke will not meet expectations for next year"


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Why should we expect Hoke's [Body]

Output: Why should we expect Hoke's recruiting to be better than Lloyd's? What evidence is there to suggest that a rookie B10 coach will out-recruit someone who won a national championship at Michigan?


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Lol if the BR media is [Body]

Output: Lol if the BR media is chasing BBQ receipts and iPhone photos, their heads are going to explode if they have to start a coaching search on January 11 or 12. Then again, the Detroit media was chasing down the Domino's corporate jet at Willow Run tonight based on blogs' obsession with FlightAware. I don't know which is funnier.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] The Big Ten does not allow [Body]

Output: The Big Ten does not allow signing 27 so that coaches can greyshirt kids. There are some minutiae with scholarship numbers that allow a team to count early enrollees in the previous year's class if you have enough extra room in your scholarship limits. Michigan took advantage of these rules last year to stock the roster back up to 85 for 2010.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] And here I thought the NCAA [Body]

Output: And here I thought the NCAA only cares when entrepreneurial reporters dig up a story exposing a violation. It turns out that even when violations are admitted out in the open, there has to be excessive stretching involved to justify a response.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] It wasn't just you. It [Body]

Output: It wasn't just you. It looked like his wrist hit the ground as he rolled over the defender.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Gruden [Body]

Output: I think it would be worth pulling out the checkbook for Gruden. We are in a much weaker position than we were three years ago in terms of the attractiveness of the job, but we still have a huge checkbook to go along with state of the art facilities, and I think we should take full advantage of that before we lose it. I think his national visibility from MNF and his NFL experience/Super Bowl win more than make up for his lack of recruiting experience as a college HC. Look at the way he talks up every damned player who completes a first down on MNF. Can you imagine how convincing he could be selling the Big House and winged helmets?


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] You will also want to look at [Body]

Output: You will also want to look at this link. http://www.mgoblue.com/genrel/081309aaa.html It states that a student ID is required to validate the tickets. Whenever I have had tickets validated, I have presented my ID, although I may have provided it without being asked in every case. You should absolutely be able to find a student in the Michigan Union Friday night before they close around 6 or Saturday morning before the game to validate it for you if you hand them the cash, so I wouldn't be too worried.

Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Excellent artwork [Body]

Output: It's very disappointing that U of M is getting trigger happy with the cease-and-desist letters. That is absolutely hilarious that they thought you were actually making Denard Robinson Heisman Trophy™ candidate edition action figures. If the wallpapers are on a private website that makes no mention of your business whatsoever, I hope that you can continue to get them published. Thanks for your creativity and hard work making these so far.

Output: This is hilarious, because my girlfriend graduated from Walled Lake Western high school with Triple O. Unfortunately, we haven't decided what to name him yet after picking him up this afternoon. There are many great suggestions on this page to look through, I'm sure we'll find one! Zoltan Meowsko is currently the front runner. Who wouldn't want their cat to be Assistant (to the) Space Emperor?

Output: Thanks for the info! I couldn't find it at the Arborland Borders on Saturday or the A2-Saline Meijer this morning. I'll head over to Busch's tonight too!


Input: [Date] 5 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Denard left in an SUV with [Body]

Output: Denard left in an SUV with some people. I've been wondering who he was with that was so important that it was his job to go back into the store to get some extra ranch sauce. Either he's just a friendly guy, or you just figured it out for me.


Input: [Date] 5 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Denard: National Championship for Michigan soon [Body]

Output: I talked to Denard at the Domino's pizza on Main Street the weekend before last. I was wearing a Michigan football shirt, so he asked me if I was going to any games this year. I told him all of them, and Penn State too. So we talked about how that's going to be a night game, and how cool it's going to be to play Notre Dame at night in the Big House next year. He asked me what grade I'm in and when I said I just graduated but am going to grad school and will be here a while, he responded that hopefully I'll see a national championship soon! He had just been coming into the store a second time to get some extra ranch sauce, and when he left, I told the girl working there that he was the Michigan Football quarterback. She said, "Oh, that's who it was... He walked in here and asked, 'Do you know who I am? I'm Denard.' And I was like, Hi, Denard." I thought that was pretty funny. I was going to post this story on here right after it happened, but I thought it would get a lot of "that's a cool story, man" sarcastic responses. But since you asked...


Input: [Date] 5 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Bye week [Body]

Output: Actually, the bye week has already been implemented. Starting this year, the Big Ten is extending play to the 13th week of the season with each team having a bye week. This pushes the Michigan-Ohio State game to Thanksgiving weekend, which could affect attendance (don't get me wrong, I still expect 110,000+ sellouts, but it's going to lead to some students skipping UM-OSU who attend the games for social reasons primarily). The Big Ten made this change to deal with criticism that B10 football ends too soon before the other conferences.


Input: [Date] 5 years 7 weeks ago [Title] This does not sound good. [Body]

Output: This does not sound good. Shame on the Athletics Department and Admissions Office for not getting this figured out before the offer was made. And shame on the Detroit/Ann Arbor media for likely ruining this kid's chance to make a new life for himself in Michigan. One of the reasons it was expected Dorsey was coming here was to get away from a negative environment in Florida with his peers. If he ends up in a D1 program like FSU, it might not provide him the opportunity he would have at Michigan. This is not the time for the University to further vindicate the "investigative reporting" of the local media.


Input: [Date] 5 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Smaller football programs [Body]

Output: Smaller football programs that lose money already would still have a problem, but the NCAA could cap the amount that players would be paid. This would at least limit competition based on pay between big-time programs. This might limit some blue chip recruits from going to lesser programs for the opportunity for earlier playing time, but I think there would be a similar pecking order of schools going after recruits to what we see now. The programs that would be able to afford the maximum player stipend would usually be the successful ones that top recruits are interested in anyways.


Input: [Date] 5 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I think what it shows is that [Body]

Output: I think what it shows is that it's not worth going for it on 4th down from around the 45 until you get into field goal range. If you miss, they have excellent field position. If you make it, they only have about 4-5 yards worse field position than if you had just punted from where you were on 4th down within the 45. This wouldn't be true if the extra ten yards that could be attempted after getting a first down would make a field goal likely, but in that range of the field (30-45 yard line), punting position should not be a factor when deciding whether to go for 4th down.


Input: [Date] 5 years 14 weeks ago [Title] Ads [Body]

Output: If the purpose of advertising during football games is to donate to Mott, I'd be OK with it even during the season, and by that measure advertising during the spring game to donate is something I can support too. I just see this and the expected Big Chill ads as the first step towards advertising in the Big House for football games to provide revenue for the program, not for donations. If they only stick to advertising for donations or for negative revenue events like the spring game or the Big Chill, then they're doing everything right. We'll just have to see how many seasons it is before we have "Allstate" on the field goal netting and an Arby's logo next to the block M on the scoreboard.


Input: [Date] 5 years 14 weeks ago [Title] Advertising [Body]

Output: I'm beginning to get concerned about this advertising. Advertising in the Big House for spring practice and the Big Chill is a slippery slope. Just because there's money to be made doesn't mean it's worth breaking this tradition. I know David Brandon is a savvy businessman and he's looking to increase revenues, but they need to be careful about this. We were supposed to be able to afford the stadium expansion without corporate advertising, or at least that's what was said when the idea was sold. The other item of note from that press release I see is that a website is going to be launched tomorrow featuring "Victor the talking puck".

Input: [Date] 4 years 7 weeks ago [Title] I think you nailed it [Body]

Output: If Tressel had actually suspended people for doing improper things that he had known about, the product on the field would have been reduced and therefore the team would have been worse. This is regardless of who was recruited. Since players like Clarett and Smith should have been suspended, they would not have been on the field and then you would've had backups in. Like Bowser, man.

The underlying question, though, is still whether or not the NCAA will treat tsio as they've treated the non-giants of the college game. This may be how they're normally treated, but for Tressel....... No but seriously, fire his ass. That guy is an ATTORNEY.

Output: Does anyone else think that the way people are coming out of the woodworks to talk about them (ignoring the fact that the documentary, you know, just premiered) is a testament to their legacy? Just think - they created the persona of the villain, of the team no one wanted to play or to hear about, and were popular even though they were never champions. And here we are, about 18 years later, and there are still people that villify them and criticize everything they do or say. I mean, best villains, or BEST villains?

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 13 hours ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: It seems to me that you and I


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 15 hours ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: I understand these arguments,


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 18 hours ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: Baseball is somewhat random

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. [Title]

Output: In the student section right


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 5 days ago [Body] 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). [Title]

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Body] 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. [Title]

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. [Title]

Input: [Date] 12 weeks 6 days ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I love how so many people laude Beiliens ability to evaluate talent at an early age, establish a good relationship, get kids to commit then fight off big schools when the kid moves up in rankings.

I would leave a terrible country if I hated it and had the capability.
