Input: [Date] 3 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] Sad News... [Body]

Output: Iwata was part of the team that helped bring us Nintendo DS, and as I recall, he had a hand in the revitalization and contnuation to this day of the Legend Of Zelda family of games, which happen to be a favorite of mine as games go. He helped develop "Balloon Fight", "Kirby" and a few other notable games earlier in his career too, and the fact that he was a programmer that became a CEO was something of a rarity in gaming circles too, at least for a company of the scale of Nintendo. He will be sadly missed.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 23 hours ago [Title] General Observation... [Body]

Output: ComicCon is a pretty good source for foreknowledge about things like this really. I just need my sister to let me be her assistant at her booth one year so I can gather some better intelligence about things coming out in the near future. That would probably be rather awesome, but then my wife would torture me for any information I had about the show "Supernatural"......"Dominion" too, come to think of it.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] All I Know... [Body]

Output: ...is that it is times like these where we require a specialist...


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] The SBNation Article... [Body]

Output: SBNation got it right with their final remark on the matter: The game's been changed, aspiring college football player. The only logical next step is a long snapper mixtape. Entire swaths of the Rivals board submitting dubstep Hudl videos is probably in our future too.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Not Going Well... [Body]

Output: Lol Rutgers I don't think this is going to go quite the way the OP intended. I think BTN showing last year's game is less about Rutgers and more about what Michigan - even in a hobbled state - means to the Big Ten. If it had been an upset of a ranked, undefeated Michigan, it's probably a BTN Classic in the more conventional sense.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] In Addition To This... [Body]

Output: In addition to that, they've shown games from Nebraska's days in the Big XII on BTN Classic, and even a few from Penn State's pre-B1G days, so apparently the network's logic is that once you join the conference (or joined about 25 years ago, in PSU's case), your entire body of work is now eligible to be on BTN and all your past players are eligible to be in the "Best Player" polls and so forth. I admit that I don't quite get that, but it probably makes things easier for them somehow, somewhere.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Missing The Mark... [Body]

Output: You know, I can't help but wonder what would happen if perhaps Jimbo and FSU's staff maybe tried something novel like, oh, developing character and finding means to discourage such behavior, not to mention revolutionary cultural changes like caring about people. They could always give it a try - you won't help everyone, but you'd help quite a few. Saying something like, "No more bars" in this case is a lot like telling your players, "I do NOT want to see ANYONE with a thermonuclear warhead on school property. The AD made that very clear the last time someone lit up."


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] As Expected, I Think... [Body]

Output: I would think that this is a totally expected result if we're judging uniforms in the Big Ten. I do see, however, that Indiana is getting its just desserts for special helmets that inspire renditions of "The Candy Man Can" though, and perhaps rightly so.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] A Few More... [Body]

Output: There are some off-the-path places that are pretty cool too. Not sure how into pinball and amusement park stuff you or your kids might be, but Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum is a great place to waste a few hours if you're into it. Locals will remember Tally Hall, which is where much of that same equipment was at one time. Cranbrook is worth it and they have planetarium shows as well, so there's also that. Also, if you do go to Belle Isle, definitely hit up the Dossin Great Lakes Museum


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Another Change... [Body]

Output: Every time I go down to our downtown headquarters by MGM, something is very different in the view now. It still feels weird not to see Tiger Stadium out the south side of the building, or to not see the old Cass Technical High School to the west and north and now the Park Avenue is gone from that view too. It takes a while to get used to not seeing things out the window when you look around. That being said, I am excited to see that area get redeveloped.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Interesting Article... [Body]

Output: Managing Partner Eric Smallwood estimates Michigan's football team will generate $10.7 million in exposure during the regular season if Harbaugh doesn't wear a hat and $11.6 million if he wears a hat with a visible logo. It seems like something only Jim Harbaugh and a select few could manage, generating nearly an extra million just by putting on a hat. I don't see him wandering around the sideline without one really though, at least not but once in a rare while, so that might be almost money in the bank potentially, if the estimate is correct (the hype and interest alone - as evidenced by just this site, other corners of the fandom aside for a second - makes me think $1 million is conservative).


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] That Performance... [Body]

Output: That bullpen performance....dear lord....that stung all the way through. It sadly made a great outing from Verlander more of a footnote in the books on this one rather than the main point of discussion, not to mention making three home runs from the offense something that will be barely mentioned on the news today. Just painful.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] That Was The Idea... [Body]

Output: That was basically the idea, to create a situation where we did not have a hot take nightmare on the boards that would bury thoughful observations that would generate good discussion. The idea to do that was to simply have a collector for the statements that, by themselves, would likely not be able to stand by themselves (which in the first hour or two after games is about 98% of them). Thank you, Blue Tuesday and LSA Aught One - I actually took on the role of modding when offered out of my vast enjoyment of the site and the community. I wanted to give back to it in my own way. The high level of engagement here in this corner of the fanbase is what makes a lot of the difference as well as the level of access the paid staff and even its regular users have to various things Michigan.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Sympathize With The OP... [Body]

Output: I sympathize with you there, OP. I am filling in for two people at the moment and my life this week has been not the best. That being said, the best part about the week is that I really can't answer any deep questions about the work of others anyway and my birhtday was yesterday, which is a huge plus for me. As for drinking, I have a case of the Blue Moon White IPA and the Tigers game in front of me and no one else in the house aside from the cats, who have thoughtfully and politely passed on having beer, so more for me.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] It Serves A Purpose... [Body]

Output: You know, it works when you have kids that want pizza and want it right now and there's really no Plan A for dinner, it is a feasible option and cheap. We have a pizza night in the house at least every other week or so, and we normally will just order from Jet's or Hungry Howie's, but there are evenings when everyone is running around, everyone is tired and wants to eat now and Little Caesar's admittedly fills a hole in those situations - but no, it is not a favorite by any stretch (I will pass on it when I get it for others).


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Speaking Of This... [Body]

Output: If anyone is interested, the Park Avenue Hotel in Detroit - now abandoned - will be imploded tomorrow at 8 AM to make way for the new Red Wings arena and surrounding district. I was always fascinated by such events, even attending a few of the local implosions, including the ones that helped clear the land for Comerica Park and Ford Field. They are making quick progressm, or so it seems to me - I can see the area pretty clearly from our headquarters across I-75 when I am down there for meetings.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Not Going Well... [Body]

Output: Pandemic of stupid continues in Ohio I have grave doubts that this one was going to go well for the OP. I think the overriding message here is that no one really cares - nor should they - if Braxton Miller believes himself to be the best athlete in college football.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Nomination... [Body]

Output: The dude who decided it was a good idea to sort the entire Michigan football roster by race and ethnicity (or his perceptions thereof, which were broad and sweeping and insulting) and then go on to use that as a justification for using this as one of the criteria in recruiting at certain positions is an easy first ballot contender. He was banned inside 30 minutes and came back later that day with an account called "FUCKMGOBLOG" - the fact that he honestly did not see the problem was sad.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Cultural Impact... [Body]

Output: I think that there is a point where you do have to wonder about the culture of a program and if it permits or fosters an atmosphere - by various means - where these behaviors are unfortunately allowed to surface. Like you said, no program is perfect, but it does seem like some coaches are definitely far better at discouraging uncivil behavior, whether that is through due diligence in recruiting or through the way that the program is run and the coaching staff's attitude towards developing the person as well as the player. Actually, perhaps that is part of the picture, when you have a staff that is not interested in the person so much, and that is truly unfortunate.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] That Catch... [Body]

Output: It will be hard to forget Glanda's clutch grab, and indeed, I think the ability to play some spot WR duty probably should be something we look for in future longsnappers. I mean, you never know until you try it out, even by sheer accident, right? Now that we're in that slow slide towards fall camp, the anticipation is growing.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] There Is A Shift... [Body]

Output: The rough distribution of players has shift for Michigan over the years. I did a diary about two years ago or so on the geogrpahic shift, and what I found is that going back to the 1960s, you had something like over half of the rosters typically being from Michigan and close to another thirty percent coming from Ohio and Illinois. The remaining 20% was a smattering of various states (Pennsylvania and Indiana figuring prominently in the "smattering"). By the 1980s and 1990s, you're still getting about 30% or so of your roster from Michigan most years, but as expected, Texas, Florida, California and a couple others are showing up significantly as well. The satellite camps were in places that were already hotbeds of talent a couple decades ago. To some extent, Michigan's roster mirrored the national talent shift going on at the time.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] On The Flip Side... [Body]

Output: On the flip side, we sort of got a compliment for our collective obsessive thoroughness about game analysis, so there's that. It is interesting to witness - in person, in a way sometimes - the "traction" (as they put it) this site does seem to have in the MGoCommunity. I've even seen people in this very building on it, even quoting it. Lunchtime reading in places where you didn't expect it - quite amazing really.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I Like That... [Body]

Output: I like the idea of using a spelling bee, although I can't help but wonder if we should underscore the ridiculousness of using the All-Star Game in this manner by utilitzing something obscure, possibly quite boring - maybe Chris Berman doing the color commentary for the MLB's first All-Star Double-Elimination Canasta Tournament.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Good To Hear... [Body]

Output: Statements like this are definitely good to hear, especially from athletes that you're pretty sure will garner interest from the league before their academic journey would be complete. Peppers always has seemed like someone who really places great importance on the academic opportunities he has at - in this case and fortunately for us - Michigan, and indeed, that degree can only make his future brighter.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Same For Me... [Body]

Output: That's what I got as well - born and raised in SE Michigan, went to school in Ann Arbor, but wife from Chicago, which might explain the northern Illinois influence a little bit (although half of her family is also in the Cincinnati / Newport, KY belt). It also explains why I caught myself saying "soda" once and felt un-Michigan for a moment, very un-Michigan.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Congratulations To Her... [Body]

Output: The news of her retirement reached Jeter, the Yankees great who retired last year. He responded by sending Stewart a signed photo, reading: "To Mary, Congratulations. Retirement: It feels good. DJ." That's actually a pretty awesome gesture by Jeter, but it underscores just how much she has been - in her own way - a part of the Michigan journey for some many people. I met her once, but I knew enough to know that she had helped so many, even friends of mine. Congratulations on retirement and a very impactful career.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] So Many Places.... [Body]

Output: Thinking of a few one-off places that I've been over the years.... Is Schlenker's in Jackson still around? I remember that burger being rather good for something that is more a deli / diner type deal. Not the Piedmontese by any means, but good for $4 and some change, especially when you get the fries and the fried cauliflower included. Perhaps the better one in Jackson might be found over at Klavon's. Torch Bar & Grill in Flint is pretty similar to Miller's in Dearborn in terms of style, but both have good burgers. Crossroads too, if you're ever in or around Leslie - that's pretty underrated, I thought. The Red Coat Tavern in Royal Oak is can't miss, in my opinion too. I'll think of more, I am sure. There are plenty of decent burgers in Michigan.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Home Alone... [Body]

Output: I get to leave this place around 4 PM and go home to.....no one. My mother-in-law is keeping the kids overnight and my wife will be working, so it will be me, a grill, some beer and the Tigers game in a one-man party. Well, the cats too, although all they do is take up strategic spaces on furniture in the family room. I might do some constructive things - I am sure my wife will leave a list. The question is this - do I actually "see" the list? If I "see" it, does something tragic happen to it? We shall see.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Done And Done... [Body]

Output: There was an initial round of deletions, then I kind of decided to let the discussion flame out a bit on its own rather than delete it prematurely and then have someone try to rekindle it. Hopefully, we're mostly good to go now and as a general note to the board - if your post was relatively inoffensive and it is still gone, the interface for dealing with such things creates a situation where sometimes there is collateral damage when removing things. Apologies for that.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] R.I.P. "The Snake".... [Body]

Output: I actually read his autobiography years ago - "Snake" - and remember being amused by the fact that, while he was in Houston, there was a brief flirtation with a locally-made soft drink called "Snake Venom". It bombed, but Stabler was cool with it - he himself said it tasted pretty much like it sounded. He was on SNL, "Married With Children" and a couple other shows in a guest role too, and he even had a children's book out there, I believe. R.I.P. "Snake"


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] True, But... [Body]

Output: ...you also have to cover your last base with... ...just to be on the safe side.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Awesome Indeed... [Body]

Output: Awesome indeed, and the sadly hilarious thing about this chart is its generosity - Bauserman was in fact 1 for 10 for all of 13 yards. Rarified air, as there are few people through the years who can say that - by virtue of being next on the depth chart - they were the end of an entire passing attack. I don't think he ever saw a snap again.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Agonizing... [Body]

Output: One thing that has been on my mind this time round on my birthday is that, yeah, I find myself doing considerably less agonizing about this now that I am in fact slowly getting old. When he mentioned that he would be only 32 when the Nike deal was up for renewal, I could only sigh as that age is already in the rear view mirror right now.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] If You're Interested... [Body]

Output: I live downriver and there are several places that carry the bean sprout egg rolls fortunately. In the city, Tai Hing at Holcomb and Jefferson does a nice one as well. One thing that is kind of interesting is that you don't have to get too far outside of Detroit before the switch to cabbage seems to happen. Kim's Gardens in Novi used to do the bean sprout ones, I believe, but the last time I was up that way, the menu had changed a bit.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Or These.... [Body]

Output: The advantage with these, however, is that you had a realizable chance of distracting the defense as they tried to read your gloves...


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I Like This... [Body]

Output: "I wear this (watch) to remind (Harbaugh) he hasn't won a game yet," Hackett says. "I'll take it off when he wins his first game." I actually kind of like this move, and I like what he said about maintaining humility even with all the hype and the drama so that there could be the best possible focus on the goal, which is getting Michigan to that place where they know it can be.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Key Question... [Body]

Output: "We have the biggest stadium in the world, we have season ticket holders that say 'why would you move a game away from us?' " he said. "I'm not a big fan of those." That was the core of the matter, I think. What better venue is there for Michigan to play in than in Michigan Stadium, especially when you have such a level of engagement and investment from the fans? I don't think you can argue it.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Thanks, Everyone.... [Body]

Output: Thanks, everyone! Thirty-seven doesn't feel different than thirty-six - the only real pity today (well, the two really) is that it has been raining here all morning and I am spending the day at work. They used to give you your birthday off here, but that practice ended when, well, about the time I hired in here. Maybe they know me better than I know me, because I would have been all about not being here on seemingly random days.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] One Step Further... [Body]

Output: They could even do as some have done and make that avatar a GIF compilation of - in this case - one-handed catches. That would actually be pretty awesome, I think. I do agree with someone upthread though - if Jake Butt is doing that in games this year, that's a sign we're in rather good shape indeed.


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] ESPN power behind college sports throne?? [Body]

Output: Again ESPN trying to show it's muscle.... Great article over on USA Today questioning if ESPN is behind the whole conference realignment mess going on. I cant link but a very good read....


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] I don't wanna be a "Debbie Downer"..... [Body]

Output: BUT we all have to look at this objectively and not put all the cart before the horse! Kalis is going to take his time and not be too hasty...besides according the some Miami sites they are CHOMPING at the bit to get him on campus and are pulling out their big guns!! Dunn on the other hand is the sleeper in my eyes....i think he will want to stick it to tOSU then back it up on the field. Wilson and Wormly are dark horses....a majority saying Wormly is a lock to us might need that seatbelt if he thumbs his nose at us...and Wilson who knows.


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Chaos will reign if this CC [Body]

Output: Chaos will reign if this CC comes to fruition.....AZ obiviously picked a dark horse and childhood fav....more dashed hopes and dreams on tap no matter what happens im sure!! Wish we could flash forward to next week and see the carnage on this board....GO BLUE!!

Output: This is how real men play football!! Not in a dome and NOT IN THE SOUTH!! lol


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Clown College for Girls..... [Body]

Output: When a school starts out as a all girls school in the 50s and has an on site circus to this day HOW GOOD DO THE GRADES HAVE TO BE!! Heck look back at OTL on ESPN last year some of the best players thru the years can't even read...but are on the football team!!!


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Hmmmm....could be interesting [Body]

Output: Hmmmm....could be interesting if Crawford has thta kind of influence....but that could be a double edge sword since Ha Ha is all iln Dee's ear bout Bama.....


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] This would be an amazing [Body]

Output: This would be an amazing series...but anyone have a clue when they are thinking?


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] I agree with drewandblue [Body]

Output: I agree with drewandblue about the whole media empowering HS kids with the nonstop questions and honestly badgering some of them to the point of they will say anything to get the media outta thier faces. I'm sure this will continue to only get hyped the closer it gets to NSD but come on wolverine fans dont get your hopes up too much....we have a great team now and its only going to get better!!


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Numerous teams wanted him as [Body]

Output: Numerous teams wanted him as a DB or slot reciever. KSU, UCF and us were primarily after DRob as a starting QB. Yes i misspoke when i said no one recruited him...but only a few teams put in a HUGE effort to get him...and thank god we won that battle!!


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Watch out for Al Golden [Body]

Output: Watch out for Al Golden tho....for being a "lesser hire" to some of Miami alum he has ALOT of people excited and expecting HUGE changes!!


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] USC took KU to the wire today [Body]

Output: USC took KU to the wire today and we have much more depth and talent than USC...GO BLUE!!

Output: WELCOME NEW WOLVERINE!!


Input: [Date] 4 years 32 weeks ago [Title] It won't be Randy Shannon... [Body]

Output: Well one DC gone...Randy Shannon hired by Texas to become new DC.....I like Heater as well but not sure many are going to commit with the HC job still so up in the air...


Input: [Date] 4 years 34 weeks ago [Title] ..... [Body]

Output: When pigs fly.....


Input: [Date] 4 years 34 weeks ago [Title] RR mentioned on Canes boards..... [Body]

Output: Granted RR was mentioned AT FIRST on many of the Canes boards but now many saying if Gruden falls thru Edsell (UConn), Hoke (SDSU) &Leach (Pirate) are leading HC search.


Input: [Date] 4 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Great thoughts!! [Body]

Output: Im sure we have all aad emotions crashing thru us like ocean waves but DB is going to make the right decision! DB being a Michigan man thru and thru knows how our proud football tradition weaves us fans together. We are the greatest college football fans anywhere and many of us are in pain from the past 3 years, granted we ARE going to the first bowl game, but pain nevertheless. I know none of us wants a repeat of that HUGE DEBACLE with Les Miles, our fans cannot take another shot to the chin like that. All you have to do is look to the Miami Hurricane boards to see what they are going thru with the Jon Gruden fiasco....WE DO NOT WANT NEEDLESS BLATHERING OR GUESSING OR PONTIFICATING....WE WANT A COACH TO LEAD US OUT OF THE DEPTHS OF OUR DESPAIR AND BACK TO THE GLORY THAT IS RIGHTFULLY OURS!! GO BLUE!!! Sorry for all the caps....


Input: [Date] 4 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Malzahn...really?!? [Body]

Output: I know the whole Cam Newton saga is only going to drag on but who really thinks Gus will leave a potential long term BCS game program?? Many a recruit has shunned what is considered his "lock school" just to be with Gus and his offense. No way he goes to a school rebuilding for the second time in less than 5 years.


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] you can listen to the replay [Body]

Output: you can listen to the replay on his online site....sorry i cant post the link damn military firewalls....

Output: Actually it was Herbie saying it....


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Not just Douchey Lynn saying RR fired.... [Body]

Output: Kirk Herbstreit on Joe Rose today said Rich Rod will likely fired on Monday and within 24 hours Jim will be named as Michigan head coach.


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Herbstreit says RR fired on Monday..... [Body]

Output: Kirk Herbstreit on Joe Rose today said Rich Rod will likely fired on Monday and within 24 hours Jim will be named as Michigan head coach.


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Joe Rose Show outta Miami....RR FIRED!! [Body]

Output: Kirk Herbstreit on Joe Rose today said Rich Rod will likely fired on Monday and within 24 hours Jim will be named as Michigan head coach. Here we go again!!!


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Boooooo OSU [Body]

Output: How i love the use of snake oil....... GO BLUE!!


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Joe Rose Show in Miami..... [Body]

Output: Sorry for the 2nd post but since i've lost so many points someone needs to post the previous on the main board and see what kind of reaction we get....i think burning Herbstreit in effigy is a start!! He is part of the reason we are in the current situation we are in...his HUGE Big Blue hating mouth spouting his rants and chaffing everyone.....


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Body] In Ace's commitment post he mentioned that Norco has put out some decent talent to the PAC12, but some of these clips seem to be man against boys. Love his drive (both on film and in the gym). [Title]

Output: Anyone know about his competition level at Norco?


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Body] this might just be another one of those small advtanges. Good stuff [Title]

Output: Same - Harbaugh takes any competitive advtange


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] And their subsequent falls / stagnation during the camp evaluation period. Trust Harbaugh's early identification skills, and would be nice to see a Beilein-esque eye for talent on the football side. [Title]

Output: Will be interesting to contrast over time to Hoke's early evals


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I will wish him the best and not envy any of his upcoming summer weather or living conditions. That is the SOUTH in every possible way (including better and worse). [Title]

Output: Having been to Hattiesburg


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 4 days ago [Title]

Output: Oh my yes this is fantastic


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 4 days ago [Body] "Michigan is so deep here that I'd probably be cool with a world where their #5 guy was second on the depth chart." YOU HAVE AWOKEN HIM FROM HIS SLUMBER. And just as was foretold in Ghostbusters, his form shall be Stribling playing second corner. We have entered #HokeRecruitingProblems being synonomous with #FirstWorldProblems [Title]

Output: You dare tempt AMHSG?


Input: [Date] 1 year 7 weeks ago [Body] I almost see that as an excuse to break out something similar to what you outline to give them some punch in the knockout rounds. Front as below with the staggered 4 man look between Bradley/Jones/Zusi/Dempsey with Mixx Central and Zusi/FJohnson looking to exploit the overlap and get crosses into the box while Bradley and Mix go forward: ---------------------Bradley-------------Jones-------------------- Zusi ------------------------Mixx--------------------- -----------------------------------------------Dempsey -------------------------Jozy [Title]

Output: If we go in only needing a point


Input: [Date] 1 year 7 weeks ago [Body] but I think packing the middle of the field is our rock/paper/scissors decision as stretching ourselves thinner in the back 6 only exposes us further. IMO we look to neutralize the Ghanian midfield and make them play wide by building centrally. We don't have the personnel to execute a 4-3-3, I agree. To play with the personality types you'd be looking for, however I would offer up Yedlin and Bedoya getting 45 minutes of pure sprinting to support the outside backs. Either way I would bet heavily against us trotting this out against either Portugal or Germany but hey... let's have a fun discussion. (Btw, this looks promising in 2018 w/ either of Yedlin/Johnson out wide and J Green opposite them and Aron/Jozy up top, MB and ??Gil?? centrally) ------------------------------Howard------------------------------ F. Johnson ------ Cameron ----- Besler -------- Beasley ----------------------------Beckerman--------------------------- --------------------Bradley -----------Jones ----------------- Yedlin/Bedoya-------------------------------------Dempsey --------------------------------------- Altidore -------------- [Title]

Output: Completely agree on narrow-ness


Input: [Date] 1 year 7 weeks ago [Body] Really love the soccer pieces. I'd roll out what would loosely be considered a 4-1-3-2 looking something like this to remove the Bedoya/Zusi/Not Donovan issues. Keep it narrow and depend on width from Beasley and FJ, using Jozy in moments of "defensive mashing of buttons" and letting Aron Bacon run off him, and Dempsey to set him up otherwise. Pros: eliminates moments of extreme "WTF IS EVERYONE" because Beckerman and here's praying that MB/JJones don't kamakaze forward often while still allowing MB to be in a more comfortable CM role, Cons: lack of width, speed and crossing ability outside of FJ, also completely new ------------------------------Howard------------------------------ F. Johnson ------ Cameron ----- Besler -------- Beasley ----------------------------Beckerman--------------------------- ---------------Bradley -------------------Jones ----------------- ------------------------------------------Dempsey --------------- ----------------Aron Johannsson ---- Altidore -------------- [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Body] Both basketball. First time I came down with a rebound on a guy's foot in a pile during an AAU game, knee buckled inward and tore ACL/MCL/Lateral meniscus (buckethandle tear), second time I pivoted wrong going down the floor avoiding a guy coming at me, tore ACL & meniscus so they ended up removing the meniscus. Both happened within 3 or so years of each other, between summer going into my senior year of HS and Jr. year of college. Always good feeling like an old man at 27 whenever it's below freezing, but I can still run and stay active enough, even if I don't hoop anymore. [Title]

Output: ACL/MCL/Meniscus, then ACL/Meniscus again

Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Body] Based on the above breakdowns (tremendous, btw), this capitalizes on Lewan's movement and superior athletic ability on the end of the line. Does it also indicate that Bryant is a more effective "puller" than Kalis? I remember someone (Demens?) saying that when Bryant pulled, you were in a world of hurt, but also heard many comments here and other boards clamoring that Bryant wasn't effective in space. In short - if we swapped Schofield to traditional "LT" and made Lewan "TE" in a traditional alignment, then we could pull Kalis. Not saying I'd prefer either, as I don't think Kalis has shown special ability on the move, but any thoughts on this are welcome. [Title]

Output: Question on flipping Lewan v. Schofield


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Body] Feel for him and his team. Yes its a distraction, but it also has to be a bit unnerving to see this happen regularly to your team's leader. [Title]

Output: How many is that this year? Two?


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] in all seriousness, our defense now = top 25 and theirs now is top 5. Our offensive potential == top 25 and theirs equals.... top 100? I just don't understand as their uside is not only limited by diffencies at the QB spot, but also at their skill positions. Quick - name their TE. Also, our offense (especially at the WR and TE spot) is a mix of inexperience and youth, whereas theirs is a mixture of drops and drops. [Title]

Output: Was this for basketball?

I can only pray the NCAA series allows for playbook customization to include the ability to "stand up" your Craig Rohs and increase speed and decrease something stupid.

Input: [Date] 29 weeks 4 days ago [Title] No problem [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 5 days ago [Title] My view [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] Lions just Lioned [Body]

Output: Early 3rd quarter. Still in the game at that point but Morris I think fumbled and then threw an INT. Thought he should have put Gardner back in if for nothing more than a spark. That ended it for me.


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] Lots to root for [Body]

Output: Don't stop rooting. They're kids for the most part trying their best. I root for to see their excitement when making a play. I root for how they rallied around Lloyd Carr's grandson and the kid espn did the special on earlier this year.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] Strength and Conditioning [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Not one player [Body]

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

Input: [Date] 42 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I don't get it [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Agree [Body]

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


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

Output: This is Michigan- the students, the team, and the alumni. Not supporting the team is the most anti-Michigan thing I can think of. Show up on time, help get the team excited and earn a victory over PSU! Go blue!!


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Only thing any fan said to me [Body]

Output: Only thing any fan said to me "it's a long drive back to Lansing!!". What can you say? They're new to the Big Ten


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Will always watch [Body]

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


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

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


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Pathetic [Body]

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

Input: [Date] 44 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] Count me out [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Bogus [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] Personal experience [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 51 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Golf day [Body]

Output: Started off with Bloody Mary at 10 am on the first tee and just finished dinner with a Star Hill IPA. Conversation at dinner devolved into who would win in the octagon: a chicken or a duck? Had some fictional sweet action going with most favoring the chicken.

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

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


Input: [Date] 3 days 11 hours ago [Body] He knew the time to go, had a good succession plan in place that had qualified coaches and established a program identity / core values and never distracted from The Team. This is why I will always talk about Bo in only the most reverential terms, and most younger Michigan fans today will not understand why Bo was held this way "since he, you know, never won a national title". [Title]

Output: This is why Bo is so revered


Input: [Date] 6 days 11 hours ago [Body] That's when population control will oh so hip, and you'll have to get a license to have children, but then you'll also probably have to prove you're genetically worthy to have kids. SO don't worry, all the less qualified folks will just be bred out so that only the truly worthy people will be able to propagate. And then since there'll be less people, think of the less resources we'll use, so then we can arrest global warming, and we won't ever have to leave our house because the Googazonber.com corporation will bring me everything I need via robot drone and I won't have to deal with *people*, 'cause I mean who likes waiting in line with smelly people, or people that don't have the exact same opinion I do on everything from morality to dress to hair style to.... The dismissive attitude so many people have nowadays toward the erosion of personal freedom and individual responsibility is really scary, all under the name of progress/safety/ease of life. Life is hard, life has tragedy,but through all that there's great pride and personal fulfillment available by overcoming these things. [Title]

Output: But hey!

Input: [Date] 6 days 12 hours ago [Body] but Judge Smails had it right, "The world needs ditch diggers too" I know no politics, but I thought this was a point that Charles Krauthammer brought out on a Fox News show about 6-8 months that really stuck with me, basically a lot of our political elite talk about "new economies" and getting more "green jobs" like computer programmers at google and what not.. but not everybody is capable of the high tech jobs or working finance at Goldman Sachs. That's not denegrating their work or value- you can have respect and pride in a manual labor job. That's what made the auto industry great IMO, sure it was tough manual labor on the line and it didn't take a lot of "skill" to turn a wrench, but you were building something and took pride in the end product. Culturally, we have over time de-valued the worth and "pride of ownership" in labor intensive fields, but there's value and moral good-i-tude in keeping productive and working hard. That translates into a society that then can overcome the really big challenges like financial hardship and wars and such. Unfortunately, you build in a mentality that everything's hard and we need automation to do some aspect of everything in our life, and then what? How does the human respond? I'm not saying we need to go back to a 1940's level of industrial technology, but the constant drive to automate everything is I think robbing humanity of some key maturation and resiliency aspects,and almost creating a permanent underclass of drones. But of course, automated cars theoretically can save lives, so "won't someone think about the CHILDREN???" [Title]

Output: Everybody laughs at the line


Input: [Date] 1 week 9 hours ago [Body] a couple years ago and managed to get a 'Space Bitches Space" in 24 month size. It is on kid #2 and will be saved for kid #3. We also sport the toddler sized Worst State Ever shirt and Cue the Muppets shirt. Works for both boys and girls. [Title]

Output: I badgered the MGoBlog staff


Input: [Date] 1 week 9 hours ago [Body] 1) M-den has onesies for boys that are light blue and have a silk screened maize n blue tie with a block M on it. Got it for my son and avoided having to dress him in crappy Baby Gap formal wear for months when we'd go to church or a party or something. 2) A kids M book. You're going to be reading to him at night for a long time, and while the writing style of Jim Brandstatter is good to put dad to sleep, not so much for baby moving into toddler. I always liked the "Michigan 101" board book at M-Den and other places on campus. It's got pages dedicated to different things abotu campus (including a page on the sports teams) and then the back two pages are the complete words (include preambles) to both The Victors and Maize and Blue. Great lullabys even if you suck at singing. And you'll sing, trust me. [Title]

Output: Two items


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] When they got into their spat with Direct TV, DirecTV went out and put "Weather Nation" on their network instead. Very no-frills weather forecasting and conditions channel and no superfluous / politically themed programming like Weather Channel was venturing into. When Weather Channel finally made their peace with DirecTV, Weather Nation had gained enough market share that people simply didn't worry about watching Weather Channel anymore. I know in our house, our smartphones are source #1 for weather, but then after that is local Dayton digital broadcast weather HD station, then Weather Nation. Weather Channel doesn't even register for me anymore. The analogy for ESPN for me would be that if someone like FoxSports 1 focused on just presenting the sports (both live content of major leagues and news-based recap shows), they'd take away market share from the STEPHEN A. SMITH led ESPN. But FS1 has gone down the "we're going to be ENTERTAINING" road, and as such have already probably passed the point of no return. [Title]

Output: Add'l aspect to Weather Channel's downturn

Output: Bailey


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Body] He'll get plenty of minutes at the 2, there's a black hole of gravitational mass down low in Okafor/Noel/Embiid to suck down defenders and get space to shoot, 'Ish' is a servicable distributor, and Nik's defensive liabilities can be mitigated by the wealth of big men downlow to be rim protectors. Will he be an All-star? probably not, but if he's going to be a servicable pro, he'll be in the right situation to showcase it the next couple year. Plus have you seen the Atlantic division??? I'm not sold on Toronto as a world-destroying "new NBA" team, the Knicks and Nets are going to be waterboard-torture bad, and Boston still has minimal talent (but double + coaching). I could actually see Philly making a run at finishing 2nd in the division next year. Now with Stauskas and the big-men, I'd love to see the Sixers get a veteran penetrate-but-pass-first point guard like Professor Andre Miller or, gulp, the Sixers actually using some of those stockpiled assets to get Ty Lawson from Denver. [Title]

Output: Great situation for Nik


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Troy Athens '96. Always a .500 team except for an occasional blip every 3 to 4 years where we'd win 7 and come within a game of winning the league, and then lose to Troy High. My senior year, we thought we had a chance with a strong senior class and a junior QB who was groomed to be a golden boy since he was in 7th grade, and we had a run, but didn't go very far (I think we lost in the 1st rd of the state playoffs by a lot). On the other hand we were a "futbol" powerhouse, and that was what most of us who didn't play football did, tailgate for soccer. (I was a varsity baseball only guy) [Title]

Output: No

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 hours ago [Body] Hyman's exactly the kind of player Babcock will love. Gritty forward with skill, can play wing or center.. I bet Hyman's getting Draper-like 3rd line minutes next year on the big club. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 hours ago [Body] So our Bball roster for next year is (apologies for using 80's era position names): WITH BATTLE: PG- Walton, Albrecht SG- Battle, MAAR SF- Levert, Dawkins, Dun Robinson PF- Irvin, Chapman / Wilson / Wagner C- Doyle / Donnel / Wilson W/O BATTLE: PG- Walton, Albrecht SG- Levert, MAAR / incoming FR? SF- Irvin, Dawkins, Dun Robinson PF- Chapman / Wagner / Wilson C- Doyle / Donnel / Wilson Is this even remotely accurate? [Title]

Output: Never forget


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Body] we still might be the conference favorite at this point. Minnesota needs to find a replacement for Wilcox and the defense depth they lost, PSU is still building talent, MSU is a tire fire besides goalie, Wiscy's going to be extremely young with a new goalie, and Ohio St is Ohio St. Welcome to the CHA circa 1999! [Title]

Output: The worst part is


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Body] We'll have a winning record, both OOC and within B1G play, but with the lack of OOC strength and the B1G likely to be down again this year, the conference will be a 1 bid league with the tourney champ getting the bid. If we had a stronger OOC schedule with maybe 1-2 less wins, we might be in a better position for an at-large, but in reality without a stronger B1G, we're going to be 1-bid conference territory for a while. [Title]

Output: We're going to be in the same boat as last year


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I think his swing changes the last 5 years were an *attempt* to protect his right knee without actually doing anything to protect it, and subsequently putting more stress on his back which is manifesting itself now. I think Foley was a huge mistake, and his current "coach" is more of a yes man than anything else. I really believe if he went back to Harmon honestly and not because he thought it was the right PR move, Harmon could help him get back to a natural motion that fits with his body-- that's always the least stressful swing is letting your body tell you what it can do instead of forcing your limbs to do something their not naturally inclined to do. Now what that may look like at the end of the day is a Tiger who will not be able to drive 300+ yds with ultra stiff shaft steel irons, and that may not fit the persona of what Tiger wants to be-- the ultimate golf alpha dog-- but as is pointed out below, the delta in swing yardage is so small nowadays relatively, it's more important to play target golf and be solid around the greens and putting. With Tiger's natural talent, I still think he could be today a Nick Faldo in his prime type of player, but I don't think his ego will allow it. [Title]

Output: Yes but


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Body] It's similar to why McGwire took the PED's. It wasn't necessarily that he was intentionally bulking up, but with his original frame, the PED's helped him recover from injuries and build muscle mass to cover up for degredation in his tendons. I'm guessing that if its true that Tiger took PED's, it was as much to cover up for injuries as it was to build muscle mass. Although based on some of the stories I read as well, Ol' Eldrick had a mighty big chip on his shoulder that he wanted to be considered as much of an athlete as the team sports guys; "getting big" might have been the process his fulfilled that mental checkmark. [Title]

Output: This


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Body] This is why Butch Harmon is such a good golf coach. I've been reading a bunch of Golf Magazine, Golf Digest, etc the past 5 years and pretty much everybody is in agreement that Harmon's "methods" basically involve taking your natural swings and then tweaking it. Contrast that to Sean Foley and others who want to completely remake your swing in their mold of what a good golf swing should look like. I've read and listened to lots of interviews that what Butch did with Tiger was just to take his God given talent and refine it a little, take the hitches out, etc. It's when Tiger started getting too smart for his own good and started believing in every new technique / training regimine / psuedo-scientific advance that his and Harmon's relationship fell out. I personally think there's a huge hubris factor as well-- he never recovered from the divorce / scandal psychologically and his continued internal denial that he really didn't do anything wrong has rotted his karma to the core. He needs a full on Hollywood movie like bottoming out / reawakening of himself to really recapture his natural talent. He is the real life Roy Hobbs. I'm only disappointed that I think he's going to find that around age 50, and he'll put together one Nicklaus in '86 like tournament, but it'll be too late to really challenge Jack's record. For the amateur golfers out there, this relates to you in the best possible way. If you want to really improve your golf game, find a coach that doesn't say he has to remake your swing. Most times, golfers can get improvement to the point where they'e shooting below bogey golf (breaking 90, threatening 80 which means at that pointyou can play pretty much any course and have fun) just by tweaking your natural motion. A coach that's willing to work with you instead of remake you in his image is more invested in your improvement than building his own ego. [Title]

Output: Yes. This.

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Imagine in a classic LeCarre type novel if the bad guy spy had the financial records of every employee in targeted agencies, who worked in what weapons program office, budgetary office, etc. You now have increased your success percentage of recruiting assets by an innumerable amount because you as the recruiter now know who makes how much money, who's got significant debt, who's been divorced mulitple times, who had psychological evuations, what criminal history exists, etc. These are things that in a classical sense takes months to develop on a single individual. Now you have that type of data in a sortable format for every federal employee, available at however fast your database software runs. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Body] "The intelligence community didn't connect the dots" line? Even the increased risk of being identified as a spy will reduce the desire to conduct collection opportunities in a nation with human sources and reduce the opportunities for overt collection opportunities through the delay / decline to issue visas, permits, etc. Less information means less data means less dots, to relate to my statement at the front of this post.

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Body] He was one of the big regional stars that was able to catapult to national level status when the territory model was basically killed by WWF and the consolidation of the NWA into the WCW. Dusty had legendary long standing feuds against Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen in the NWA / WCW era, and then even when purposefullly given a horrible gimmick by VInce McMahon during his late career WWF run became a fan favorite in that organization. In addition to using excessive Southern "common man" slang in his promos, dancing in the ring, extreme showmanship with all his moves, and being one of the first southern promoters to really push African American wrestlers, Dusty was most famous for popularizing the "Dusty Finish". This was when as the lead booker and wrestler in his NWA territory, if Dusty didn't have the title and was scheduled in the main event against a heel champ, the heel champ would win by disqualification, thereby extending the feud for another show, keeping Dusty believable as a babyface contender, and putting more heat on the heel. More recent fans to wrestling will know Dusty as father to Dustin Runnels (aka "Golddust") and Cody Rhodes (aka "Stardust"), but its important to know that Dusty was one of the giants in the 1970's / 80's wrestling scene and if you went into the South, was basically as popular as Hulk Hogan. Some wrestling historians have commented that The Rock's inital "People's Champion" shtick in the WWE was inspired by Dusty Rhodes's character in that The Rock was essentially the evil mirror universe version of Dusty. [Title]

Output: Dusty was one of the modern day wrestling legends


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Body] As Harbaugh has increased the profile of these lesser known camps, more scouts will come out to see the players from the recruiting services, more evaluations will be done, and I'm guessing a more balanced view of player ratings will eventually be the outcome. The end result may be that the All-conference UCF or TCU player that was a 2-star last year becasue there was limited tape and camp evaluation on him now will get bumped to 3-star and the "surprise" factor will be lessened when these guys actually perform at a college level. I guess what I'm saying is that the potential for "hidden gems" will be lessened as the guys who would've been considered hidden, aren't so much any more. [Title]

Input: [Date] 7 weeks 7 hours ago [Body] I've read Howes for years and usually he's spot-on on business analysis, so this may be a case of a fluff interview for ratings sake. Usually though he's very skeptical of the CEO without a results history or metrics to point to-- see his series of op-eds on Cerberus's management of Chrysler, Rick Wagner's tenure at GM, or his accurate portrayal of Mullaly's time at Ford. His take on Brandon while skipping over the Michigan debacle just doesn't seem right. He's a better writer than this usually, and by Brian's ripping him, it make it obvious Brian hasn't read Howes's previous work either. Confused on both parts. [Title]

Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Body] While Cable shows have benefitted from the lack of typical self censorship found on network shows, I find that many so-called "groundbreaking" cable shows are nly groundbreaking because they tend for the cheap thrill and titilation, and an overliance on "shock" value. It's kind of like comparing horror movies now with all the special effects to (good) horror movies from the past that had to suck you in with long game story telling and character development. Some newer shows accomplish that, some fail horribly. Also, I want TV to be entertaining, not just tell me how depressing the world was/is and enrapture itself in always gray morality. In all seriousness, that's why Magnum PI as an entire series was really a great TV show. The setting of Hawaii was the hook for the casual viewer, but a lot of the best episodes dealt fairly maturely and fairly with some of the pressing issues of the day such as Post-Vietnam reculturement for our vets, ramifications of war on society, intercultural relations, etc. Sure there were the throwaway episodes with funny guest stars, farcical plots, or the like, but go watch episodes like the plane crash one, the one where Thomas has to figure out whether his Vietnam bride is still alive, or the one where Rick almost goes sniper, and there's excellent drama wrapped up in a digestible format. And its not reliant on tits, on screen sex, flesh eating zombies, graphic prison beat downs, and excessive use of the 7 words banned on network TV. [Title]

I think it's more SEC-on-PAC12 and SEC-on-ACC violence to be scheduled. The point about where the talent is can not be lost on SEC coaches... hosting a camp in Grand Rapids ain't going to get them as much as mid-level SEC teams like Tennessee, South Carolina, and Kentucky hosting camps in Los Angeles, San Diego, and the like. The one exception would be SEC teams hosting camps in Tex A&M's backyard, but then is it really hurting Tex A&M or UTexas? To me the real question is: to paraphrase, is the SEC in an uneviable position, in that they have to win all the battles with recruits in their geographic area or are they the side in the recruiting wars that only has to get lucky once outside of their area?

Such is the life of a preferred walk-on-- your coach can tell you if a schollie opens up, they'll give it to you / consider you, but they're under no obligation to continue to do that.

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Even with the non-binding LOI, the school has some assurance because: a) with the non-binding part on the student's side, the school has to be pretty damn sure they want him, thereby reducing some of the loopholes for oversigning; i.e. they can't send out 100+ "committable offers" b) the recruit can't take visits to other schools (and take unlimited visits to the signed school), decreasing the chance of snake oil flips. If the student does take another official visit to a different school, then the original school is off the hook of the LOI. c) If the socialization on the students part is to realize that once they sign the LOI, they're locked in, that will reduce by 42% the amount of drama queen signing day hat ceremonies. There still will be some, but right now the default is to have drama because it's allowed. By having the LOI's, then there's downward social pressure to NOT extend the recruiting process when it doesn't need to be for 60-70% of the recruits. Hence Paul Johnson's "the students will call their (the coaches') bluff if there's an offer extended". [Title]

Sleeping bear dunes, TC beaches and lots of nice parks / play areas for the kiddos. If you golf and like adult beverages, there's multiple quality microbrews, wineries, and good restaurants in TC. 2) if you want a little more laid back, my family's vacation spot has been up in the alpena / presque isle / Rogers city area. Alpenas the big town and has restaurants, boat charters, multiple putt putt courses and cheesy amusement parks (go karts, arcades, etc). Both inland lakes in the area, Long Lake and Grand Lake are perfectly fine to swim and watersport in summer without much fear of freezing your area off. Usually the south end of grand lake becomes a nice place to park a boat and let your kids swim on the sand bars and share a beer with a fellow boater. There's nice golf in the area (Rogers City CC is public and highly underrated, especially the back nine which is a hilly links course). This area doesn't have the modern polish of TC but has everything you need for a good northern Michigan vacation. Its also about 60-90 min away from Mackinaw Island meaning you can do a day trip or an overnight on the island without a problem. Alpena has some modern hotel chains but you can also google search for on lake rentals at grand lake and long lake that may come with a boat rental. big downside of Alpena area is you either fly into Alpena at inconvenient times through DTW, or you fly into Detroit / Flint / Bay City-Midland and drive the 3-4 hours north. You go to TC, you fly right into TC airport from a number of hubs and fly out. [Title]

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I always liked Carl Sagan's explanation which was to take a piece of paper, ask you to imagine yourself as a worm crawling on that paper so you only have knowledge on N-1 dimensions around you. To get to the other side of the paper, you could crawl all the way across, or if you had enough energy to bend the paper and then poke a hole through to the other side (Sagan did this with a straw), the worm could crawl through the straw and reach the point on the other side in much less time than if he crawled all the way across the unfolded paper. He then went on to explain that there are multiple ways to cause that hole (You could quickly poke a straw through, you could slowly add force to a singluar point over a period of time, you could rub away the paper on a small spot with friction forces, etc) or to bend the paper. The trick for humanity, is to figure out which one makes the most sense. [Title]

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Body] It'll go to either Indianapolis or Detroit. World class indoor stadiums, proven track record of hosting a Super Bowl, and in the middle of B1G country which is football saavy. Detroit's rep for big events has gone immeasurably up since the Super Bowl, Final Four, and Frozen Four. Plus the NCAA isn't *as* image concious as the NFL in terms of celebrity pandering to SEXY locales, so as long as there's sufficient hotel rooms (there are), an infrastructure in place (there is), an energized local fan base to provide the volunteer and entertainment services (check), and a sufficient corporate base to draw sponsorship moneys from, both Detroit and Indy are strong contenders. I'd put Indy ahead of Detroit right now since some of Detroit's entertainment draw is tied to casinos (not the image the NCAA wants of the starting QB photo'd playing $100 hands of blackjack at the Greektown Casino two nights before the big game), Indy's in the NCAA HQ's backyard, and Indy would probably be seen as slightly more neutral ground than Detroit for some southern schools. Detroit's more football centric, has more people, is more associated with big time collegiate football (both Mich & MSU), has hosted a bowl game, and isn't associated with the Final Four rotation that Indy is. Plus even in the current economic climate, Detroit Auto probably still has more sponsorship dollars than Eli Lilly and whatever else is in Indy. [Title]

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I'm always interested in how football evolves, sometimes in circles. The 46 was created as a counter to the power run offenses of the late 70s/early 80s. Ditka basically hires ryan to run the 46 to beat the Cowboys, Giants, and Vermeil era Eagles. Now as the spread is evolving back toward power running concepts, the 46 may see a resurgence, especially since the best way to beat a 46 is with a highly accurate qb who can hit wr's on crossing/slant routes in stride (aka the west coast offense). Up to now, the spread offenses have relied a lot of non complicated passing trees that count on numerical mismatches down the field. If D's are going to start countering power running spreads with 46-esque fronts and techniques, it'll be interesting to see if the next innovation on the offensive side will be to create hybrid spread/west coast offenses or go to the other extreme to beat the 46, mouse Davis run n shoot style offenses!

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Body] "Medical hardship" is an appeal to the NCAA where the school basically says the player is so injured / incapacitated from athletic activity that he can't play the sport anymore. The player has to agree to this. The benefits are that the student gets to stay on paid scholarship to complete his degree program, and the school gets to take that scholarship number off their active roster (i.e. "freeing up" a scholarship). However, the student basically gives up any claims to playing NCAA sports from that point forward. Some of the scandal out of the SEC usage of this have been related to claims that the players weren't fully informed that they couldn't transfer or retain eligibility after accepting the "medical", or that their medical conditions weren't bad enough to warrant a medical hardship.

I'm all for craziness in national tournaments to make them fun, but there has to be some reward and balance maintained for rewarding an entire season's work over a miracle 1-weekend run (as in our beloved B1G tournament).

I went there for a driver fitting last year, and I came out with a clearance-sale driver from last year's model set that the pro adjusted for me in the store 'cause I hit it the best based on my mechanics. The guy could have easily pushed me into a more expensive club since he knew I was coming in without a budget, but his focus was on matching my swing to the club and making sure the simulation metrics confirmed it. He probably lost out on a couple hundred dollars more in sales on me personally, but because of his help and honesty, I've probably directed 6-7 others to his store and they've made out increased numbers of sales. [Title]

Output: Go get a club fitting


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 3 days ago [Body] would be the 1st and 2nd rd NCAA tourney round to be best of 3 at the higher seeds arena. Advantage to the higher seed for a better season, takes some of the 30-sided die roll aspect of today's tournament away (if you can win 2 road games in 3 days, you're a better team), and would be unbelievably fun atmospheres. Could you imagine the noise if say this year's Michigan team got in as a four seed, went to Boston University, and forced a Game 3 in their bandbox? Or if Minnesota got in and had to travel to Mankato?? That's like Stanley Cup levels of excitement dripping from rafters of venues that are inherently loud! [Title]

Output: The biggest change I'd be in favor of


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 3 days ago [Body] They have two hockey arenas in the same city within 10 minutes of each other (Blue Jackets's arena), and frankly they still have other facilities on campus and in Columbus that can host wrestling / basketball games for the HS State Championship. Understood about CBJ's arena maybe laready booked for NHL games or concerts, but lets be honest, it's not like we have to worry about OSU HOSTING any games, amirite? Hell with the crowd OSU usually gets for hockey, they could move a potential hockey series to one of the three hockey arenas in Dayton and they'd probably draw just as much. [Title]

Output: I don't get the OSU objection


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I think I want to hire this guy for my organization? [Title]

Output: Is it bad that


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Body] of the Thanksgiving weekend tournaments Wisconsin or Minnesota would host with other B1G teams. When it was just Wis, Minn, Mich, Mich St, and OSU, it would be 4 out of the 5 in this mini-tournament (Ohio St usually wasn't invited unless someone wanted to dish out a good ass kicking). If the B1G didn't go all in on a new conference, I would've liked a 2-3 weekend tournament like the Bean Pot in Boston for just B1G teams and then you have a "Renfrew Cup" or some nonesense that becomes the traveling trophy for B1G Hockey. You could broadcast it on BTN and rotate the sites that host weekend 1 and weekend 2 between MSP and Detroit. [Title]

Output: This also kind of was the point


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Body] UNO fits better in a grouping with those smaller Colorado schools anyway, and there is no way in bloody hell that Big Minnesota lets UMD in. If we're going to let in adjunct members for hockey, I'd rather it be for new programs than poaching existing ones. [Title]

Output: No on UNO and UMD


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Body] But this year, I can not. Wisconsin is a fun team to watch, and you know it must be killing Bo Ryan inside to have a team that talented play fun basketball and not have to bludgeon teams to death with a final score in the 40's to 50's. Next year when Wisconsin returns to traditional Wisconsin basketball, maybe my ire for them will grow, but this year, I want Kaminsky to win the whole.damn. thing. (Transitive Polish Pride Property) Beat Kentucky too while they're at it. State will always be on the hate list because of Izzo theatrics. [Title]

Output: Normally I agree with Erik of Dayton


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I hate the execution so far with the shitty scheduling, poor TV coverage (WHY IS EVERY GAME NOT ON BTN LIVE-- YOU HAVE 3 ALTERNATE CHANNELS FROM FOOTBALL SEASON YOU MORONS!), and a bad playoff system. I also like to think that if Michigan had been good along with Wisconsin at least, the season would be a lot more entertaining. That being said, I do miss the visits from those wacky Yoopers from Northern Michigan in their wanna-be North Stars jerseys and their roster full of casting cuts from "Slap Shot", as well as the bi-yearly "I'm sooo going to stay up this weekend and listen to the Alaska-Fairbanks series on the radio" talks I'd convince myself were going to happen. Not to mention that when we did play State, it seemed like a bigger game in the CCHA than in the B1G. On the expansion issue, I think Nebraska would be a perfect fit for hockey in the B1G for all the reasons mentined above. I also think that Northwestern could / would totally support it from a fan perspective. I'd love as a Michigan fan to know that we could schedule a winter weekend trip to Chicago for the Northwestern series where we take the train in, stay downtown, and then go watch hockey at a Northwestern rink while going back downtown after the game. I'm always amazed that for all the *perceived* big money grads out of Northwestern, they haven't had that one notable alum who bankrolls some athletic campus improvements. [Title]

Output: I like the concept of the B1G


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Body] We sent invitations to Lloyd, Red, and President Bush. Lloyd and Red sent back RSVP cards with "not attending" checked, but we did get a response card back from the Bushes declining to attend with what appeared to be a hand written note that said "Sorry! Best wishes- Laura". Wife-y still has it in the wedding album. [Title]

Output: Married in 2005 at the League
