Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Body] There comes a time in life when you need to just admit you are wrong. If Beamer had never beaten a ranked team at Va Tech, wasn't in a BCS bowl, had been beaten this bad 6 times in the same season, and had a losing record at Va Tech, then you may have a semblance of a point with your sarcasm... But none of that is true and you are making a fool of yourself. Cut your losses just like Michigan will do with RR this week. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Body] Good one. I'll expect you to be calling into MSNBC and Fox News the week before the upcoming presidential election and going off on them for speculating and discussing a week before the decision is made. Don't lose any sleep when Rodriguez gets fired next week. [Title]

Output: Good one. I'll expect you


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Body] If you can watch this team and truly believe they are 1 year away from a big ten championship game, you need to take the iv of blue kool-aid out of your arm... Ridiculous assertion [Title]

Output: If you can watch this team


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Body] What the hell else are you going to "clutter the board" with? "OT- What kind of beer are you drinking tonight? LOL" And how is there no point in speculating when the decision is in a week... Do you get upset when people speculate about the presidential election one week before the actual election? My God is that an awful argument. When the decision is near is when you're supposed to speculate the most. Bottom line, you're a joke dude. Quit trying to regulate mgoblog as if it belongs to you or something [Title]

Output: What the hell else are you


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Body] The offense is so "great"... Defense comes out and gets a big stop, big punt return, offense goes 3 and out. Give me a break. [Title]

Output: The offense is so "great"...


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Body] So what? It's a freaking message board what do you think is going to be posted? If you don't want to talk about it then don't comment, but so long as people are debating it (which is fine) the talk will continue on the boards. [Title]

Output: So what? It's a freaking


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Body] That's a ridiculous request! Why would you think it's acceptable to discuss a potential coaching change for the Michigan Wolverines football team after their bowl game? Do you think thats what message boards are for? There should be no posts on this Michigan Blog regarding the overwhelming possibility of a coaching change. We will ignore it. [Title]

Output: That's a ridiculous request!


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Body] Their jobs are not on the line; the decision has already been made. DB already has a coach lined up or he has decided to keep RR. You don't start a coaching search in January, so if he was going to be fired it wouldn't have anything to do with the Miss St. game. [Title]

Output: Their jobs are not on the


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Body] Like Brian said, you don't start a coaching search on January 2nd. If Rich Rod is going to be fired the decision has already been made. If Rich Rod is going to stay it is because DB already decided on it based on what he has done thus far; it won't be because the team performs better than Miss St in the Gator Bowl. [Title]

Output: Like Brian said, you don't


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Body] Dude step away from the kool-aid... wow. Your last statement is the most annoying argument of all. Just because Rich Rod turned Michigan into a rebuilding project because he is so in love with his "scheme", doesn't mean Harbaugh would do the same. Harbaugh is a good football coach, not a scheme coach. He would take the talent he has and make the most of it, and I'd be willing to bet that our turnover margin would improve drastically under Harbaugh after the past 3 years of turnover-mania. RR couldn't find a way to make Mallet, Minor, and others fit into his offense, but I guarantee you Harbaugh would/will fit Denard into his. [Title]

Output: Dude step away from the


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Body] 8-5 is pretty damn good at Stanford given their stringent academic standards and lack of resources/fan interest. At Michigan, 8-5 in your third year is not nearly as impressive. Also, Harbaugh only lost 1 game by double digits (10 pt loss) that year. 10 points was Rich Rod's closest loss. Harbaugh's 5 losses were by a combined 32 points, Rich Rod's are by a combined 87 points, and it would be worse if opponents chose to run up the score. Harbaugh also beat a very strong Oregon team that year and a 9-4 USC team. He also beat a very good USC team in his 1st year. Harbaugh beat more quality teams in his 1st year than Rich Rod has in 3 years, had far less embarrassing losses each year, and had an equal record in his 3rd year, all while at a program where it is MUCH more difficult to build a good team. Can people like you please, for the love of God, stop pretending what Harbaugh did at Stanford is the equivalent of what Rich Rod has done at Michigan... It's ridiculous [Title]

Output: 8-5 is pretty damn good at


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Body] 1) 8-5 in your third year isn't exactly awe-inspiring. Not terrible, but not good either. 2) 3 losses to 11-1 teams: He had three 11-1 teams on his schedule, and got absolutely crushed by all of them, how is that supposed to be a selling point for him to stay? Not to mention MSU is the most fraudulent 11-1 team in a long long time. There are a large number of teams with lesser records, including 9-3 Alabama, who are much better than 11-1 MSU. 3) The "top 10 offense" has already been covered. Wisconsin, Ohio State, MSU, Penn St, and Iowa all shut down the offense until the game was essentially over. The offense hung a ton of points on awful teams, and got shut down by the above average ones. Was the offense good? Yes. Top 10 in the country? No. 4) How does Denard even factor into this? Sure he is a great player; is bringing in a great player to a program that is easy to recruit at supposed to be something spectacular? And overall on the recruiting front Rich Rod has actually been quite sub-par. Rethink whether or not you had to throw that out there. [Title]

Output: 1) 8-5 in your third year


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Body] well this was a good benchmark game and we got absolutely embarrassed, so i don't know what you expect people's reaction to be... and anyone who thought we were going to be an ncaa tournament team because of the 1st 12 games is an absolute moron. [Title]

Output: well this was a good


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Body] Is beating ND (19-17 record in the past 3 years) 2 out of 3 times supposed to come anywhere near making up for going 0-6 vs OSU and MSU? Especially considering we lost those 6 games by a total of 110 points... I don't care about him beating notre dame when we have been losing to msu and osu every game by an average of 3 touchdowns for the past 3 years. Since you don't seem to get it... that (among other things) is why I want him fired. [Title]

Output: Is beating ND (19-17 record


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Body] You didn't actually counter one thing he said in his argument. "mgobubble" was a great way of describing your (and many others on this blog's) disillusionment, hilarious. If you think that there is so much talk about his job security because "he's not a michigan man rabble rabble", and not because he is 0-13 against B10 teams with a winning record, or got blown out by double digits in 5 games in his third year, then you should honestly stop following football. The hell with whether he "gets our rivalries" or not, just stop getting blown out in them. All you did in your post was 1) make up your own reasons for why people want RR to be fired (reasons that aren't even the true issues that people are complaining about) and then 2) disprove your own made up reasoning and fail to address anything the fire-RR advocator said. I assure you it is not because he isn't a michigan man, or how he feels about the rivalries, it is because he has turned the program into a national laughing stock for the past 3 years. You just don't realize it because the only football talk you are ever exposed to is the mgobubble. EDIT: Dahblue mentioned wins and losses as an issue, then addressed recruiting also, and you tried to call him out for it. Do you realize that RR has been awful in both? Just because dahblue is addressing multiple issues that RR has, doesn't mean that he is contradicting himself. Your argument comprehension skills are incredibly awful... yikes. [Title]

Output: You didn't actually counter


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Body] stupid arguments like saying that because denard improved that the program/team improved.... [Title]

Output: stupid arguments like saying


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Body] Wow... It's about TEAM progress. This year's team went 7-5 while last years went 5-7... the difference? Purdue was fielding almost all 2nd and 3rd stringers, which gave us one extra win. Illinois didn't have Juice WIlliams, who showed last year vs us that he clearly would have been the difference in a 3OT game. In other games, we got beaten far worse by Mich St, far worse by Iowa, far worse by OSU, and we got beat about equally bad by a PSU team that was nowhere near the level of last yr's PSU team. For the love of God can we stop acting like this team performed oodles better than the 2009 team because they won 2 more games? Look at the actual body of work and how the games actually transpired. And stop pretending it is irrational to think that RR should be fired. Every single person who follows college football closely (aside from maybe some of the ppl on this blog) would laugh in your face if they heard you talk as if firing Rich Rod isn't a decent option. It makes you sound like an idiot. [Title]

Output: Wow... It's about TEAM


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 2 days ago [Title] If he tweeted that after the [Body]

Output: If he tweeted that after the thing about the 49ers being 7-4, he has since deleted that, as well. I couldn't find it.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Maybe he didn't like how he [Body]

Output: Maybe he didn't like how he phrased his response. It's not easy when people are picking apart every single word used in 140 character bursts, and looking for positive signals or something that suggests a lack of credibility.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I suggested to him that the [Body]

Output: I suggested to him that the 49ers would have been 7-4 at the time of these alleged initial discussions. He responded that it might explain why interest was low at that point. I responded again that it would have been an distraction (with Harbaugh reasonably focused on making the playoffs). He deleted his response to me. I'm not sure why. I always find that odd.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Brian has cited him in some [Body]

Output: Brian has cited him in some of the coaching search updates. Moss has been around a long time. He has some sources. This isn't totally random internet rumormongering.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I think he first tweeted that [Body]

Output: I think he first tweeted that day that the press conference would be held and that Brandon would be fired. It beat everyone else. It wasn't a random guess. And, he's not really in that business, from what I can tell. That said, I'm not the guy who you mock for buying every internet rumor that comes along. I totally get the skepticism. And, I don't care what you all believe. I'm just saying that the salt that goes with this report in particular should probably be of the grain and not the boulder variety.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I'm not saying he's right [Body]

Output: I'm not saying he's right about this, but I think he had Brandon's firing before anyone else. Brian might vouch for that.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I think you are reading too [Body]

Output: I think you are reading too much into it. Read the next sentence after he mentioned bowl games: "They may be in bowl games. They may be…you know, wherever they are in their status..." I don't think you can make any judgment at all about a pool of candidats limited to college coaches based on that statement.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 5 days ago [Title] This probably wasn't intended [Body]

Output: This probably wasn't intended to be a diary, but I'll just point out that it seems unlikely to me that Harbaugh would be stupid enough to go to Miami given the acrimony in that front office. Have you read the backstory on Aponte? It doesn't sound like she's going anywhere, and if that's true, Harbaugh would be jumping from one bad situation to another. I'm not sure even Ross's money could paper that over.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Great. Well, then the [Body]

Output: Great. Well, then the problem was either provider-specific (which AT&T denied) or it was an issue in certain pockets of the city.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 5 days ago [Title] There was a problem with the [Body]

Output: There was a problem with the broadcast in the Atlanta area (and possibly others). They screwed up the regional coverage such that ABC and ESPN2 were both showing Texas A&M vs. SMU. This continued until some point in the 3rd quarter when the complaints must have finally bubbled up to the people who fix these sorts of things. At that point, the UM game became available on ESPN2.

Output: It looks like Benoit will continue to close (from Danny Knobler on Twitter - I can't embed for some reason): @DannyKnoblerCBS Tigers will keep Benoit as closer, use Veras along with Smyly in the 7th and 8th innings.

Output: I'm guessing "DB" isn't "wondering what happened to Beilein and the program in such a short time frame" because Dave Brandon is smart enough not to evaluate the status of a major program by only looking at a three week period in which nothing that could be construed by any reasonable person as "negativity breed[ing] negativity" took place.

Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Title] For what reason do they need [Body]

Output: For what reason do they need to travel around the country and "get the former players pumped up?" I'm not being a smartass. I really don't see why it's necessary. I'm not saying they need to spend all of their time watching film like has been suggested above.

Output: But he has a lot of former players in his phone...or whatever...

Output: I don't understand why this is necessary or a valuable use of the coaches' time. I understand the perceived need to "mend fences" or whatever, but if this is true, it seems to be overkill.

Input: [Date] 4 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Butler lost two starters and [Body]

Output: Butler lost two starters and they were pretty important. Gordon Heyward was their best player and a lottery pick in last year's NBA draft. Willie Veasley (who now plays in Japan) was a critical defender that, like Heyward, could guard almost anyone. Their struggles early this season were almost entirely related to defense. They've found a way to make up for those losses.

Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I think BC should be higher on that list in reality. I've lived around Boston for my entire life and have only known 2 non-alum BC fans. It's the combination of a lack of interest in college sports in the area and the fact that people really find BC to be arrogant and annoying. Maybe if they were successful it would be different but they're not. They caught lightning in a bottle with Doug Flutie in the 80's and haven't done anything since. They fired their most successful recent football coach for daring to interview with the NFL and fired their most successful basketball coach of all time for no apparant reason. They are just the worst. EDIT: I should also mention that if you do care about college sports in this area you were likely a Big East hoops fan and hold a grudge against BC for single-handidly starting its demise to go play schools below the Mason Dixon line. Did I mention I don't like BC? [Title]

Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I'm a big Providence College hoops fan. I'm very excited about this series and thrilled that it honors the memory of the legendary Dave Gavitt, former PC coach and founder of the Big East. I love the new incarnation of the Big East. I don't miss any of the schools that have defected. The Friars have a much better chance to compete in a conference with smaller, like-minded, basketball-centric schools. It's a throwback to what the conference was originally supposed to be about. I think the series will be beneficial for both conferences but probably more so for the Big East. Out of conference schedules and performance are huge for a 10 team league. Hopefully in the years to come Michigan will make a trip out to Providence to play on Dave Gavitt Court. I would definitely be in attendence. [Title]

Output: I'm a big Providence College

Output: Brady spent the AFC


Input: [Date] 1 year 12 weeks ago [Body] People here and around the country forget what originally made the Big East great. The lack of football and the ability to keep northeastern city kids local caused its original success in the 80's. The conference became a national laughing stock because of what happened with its football programs but that was never supposed to be the emphasis. Now they have a chance to remake themselves in the image that the great Dave Gavitt always had in mind. I believe they will more than hold their own against the B1G. Some of the opinions on this thread are shortsighted and don't show a solid understanding of the history of the sport or where it's headed.

Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] My buddy and I are Red Sox fans and were walking back to our cars after seeing the Sox beat the Yankees in a regular season game in 2002 at Yankee Stadium. This one dude who was with a few of his friends was walking beside us and kept chanting "1918" over and over and over again. My friend eventually said something harmless like "scoreboard" but that was all this guy needed. He got inches away from my friend. He wanted a fight but when it was clear my friend wasn't going to swing at him he spit all over his face. We were in absolute shock. I've heard the new Yankee Stadium is a nice, family friendly place but it was a different atmosphere not too long ago. I'll never forget that moment under the Major Deegan Expressway. It was around then that I decided I didn't need to keep going to the South Bronx. [Title]

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 7 hours ago [Body] You think Ansah was a wasted pick? Lions got him at #5, I believe in Grantland's 2013 "re-draft" a few months back they had him at #2. [Title]

Output: You think Ansah was a wasted


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 22 hours ago [Body] Sounds like selection bias. For every year where a "new logo" team wins a title there are probably 20 where they don't. [Title]

Output: Sounds like selection bias.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Saugatuck and Arcadia on here, but not Kuhnhenn? Them's fighting words. Other than that I actually really like this list. I'd slot Kuhnhenn in at 3 and bump everyone else down. I'd probably bump someone out for Witch's Hat too. [Title]

Output: Saugatuck and Arcadia on


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Yeah, Four Peaks even sniffing the Finals is dumb. Beer rating sites are far from perfect, but they're very useful as a sort of smell test. Anyway, I just checked, and my smell test says Four Peaks is a solid but far from special brewery. Basically they're Arbor Brewing. And Arbor Brewing sure as shit doesn't deserve to be named "best brewery" of really anything outside of the city of Ypsilanti. [Title]

Output: Yeah, Four Peaks even


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Agreed. Even then, the attendees usually don't cause much trouble, other than maybe some unpleasant odors (and I don't mean the weed.) [Title]

Input: [Date] 17 weeks 5 days ago [Body] True, though this screenshot is from Raw. [Title]

Output: True, though this screenshot


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Why do you get to decide what defines Bell's brand? And I'd hardly call this "bullying" by Bell's. Innovation are the ones who filed for the trademark, and objections like this are a standard part of that process, especially when dealing with a mark as generic as "Innovation Brewing". [Title]

Output: Why do you get to decide what


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Body] There is absolutely merit. This is just Bell's filing an objection to Innovation Brewing's trademark application, and yes, it is done in part to preempt the possibility of them being sued down the road. [Title]

Output: There is absolutely merit.

Input: [Date] 19 weeks 3 days ago [Body] To be fair, I think Kentucky is a LOT closer than 'Bama, and I don't think Alabama would even come close in a single game. I could see Kentucky going 12-70 though. [Title]

Output: To be fair, I think Kentucky


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I think that logic only holds if it's a relatively large pool. If it's a small pool, you're better off taking the easy points, but in large pools you always have to go risky to win. [Title]

Output: I think that logic only holds


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Honestly, I'm not sure a lot of these articles receive anything more than a perfunctory look-over before they're posted, if that. And I'm not going to hold that redundancy against Baumgardner too much, we've all made mistakes like that when rushing to write reports, send emails, etc. [Title]

Output: Honestly, I'm not sure a lot


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 1 hour ago [Body] I think that's just GM-speak. Didn't want to be seen as 1) not making an effort or 2) disrespecting one of their best players who, despite his controversies, was a major contributor to Detroit's recent (relative) success. That run D the last few years was nasty. [Title]

Output: I think that's just GM-speak.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Yeah, 3:30 is great for tailgating. A lot of fans must be early risers, cause I always found it annoying to make it to A2, set up, drink, and then have to leave for the game by 11:30. Requires me to either wake up way earlier than I want to on a Saturday or cram my tailgating into like 90 minutes. [Title]

Output: Yeah, 3:30 is great for


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 1 day ago [Body] So this was obviously a foreign concept to me as a Midwesterner, but I absolutely loved the 9:30am kickoff for the Lions London game. You eat breakfast and brew up some coffee for the game, and then afterwards you still have your whole day ahead of you. [Title]

Output: So this was obviously a


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 1 day ago [Body] You're absolutely right. It's weird, but something about those Sat afternoon high school games. They feel like a scrimmage, and the excitement is just gone - from the crowd and the players. [Title]

Input: [Date] 23 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I'm with you on Hunwick, but that team was the scrappy underdog who just couldn't quite pull it off, but put together an incredible run. Similar to the basketball team 2 years ago. No regrets, ya know? The 07-08 team seemed like the "Team of Destiny(TM)" They were so dominant all year. The loss to ND affected me more than any other Michigan sports loss, aside from maybe 1v2 the year before. Also, I was in college at the time, and wanted a Nat'l Championship in something while I was there. Wanted to celebrate in the streets and all that. The lack of one will probably go down as the biggest sports-related "regret" in my life, even if that sounds entitled or overly optimistic, cause undergrad only happens once, and I'll never be more invested in any sports teams than I was then. [Title]

Output: I'm with you on Hunwick, but


Input: [Date] 1 year 11 weeks ago [Title] Re-runs? [Body]

Output: wonder why...


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Title] General Admission [Body]

Output: As a Wisconsin student season ticket holder, I cannot understand why Michigan is having such problems with General Admission. The problem you guys are having, from what i can gather, are based on really long lines forcing students to spend their pregame standing in line so that they can get into a stadium where they can continue standing for over three hours, rather than spending their pregame drinking with their friends. At Wisconsin, our General Admission works because I can count on leaving a party at 10:45 and still making to my seat before kickoff (for 11 AM kickoffs). To me the answer seems to be as simple as coming up with a system to get students into the stadium faster. Is there only one person scanning tickets? Or why does it take so long? There is never a line to get into the Camp Randall unless you're just one of the 50 students waiting before the gates open to get in the front row.

Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Title] To be considered a sleeper [Body]

Output: To be considered a sleeper they looked at players outside the top 25. Since Walton is number 30, it makes sense that he would be one of the top "sleepers". So not bad news, but not really anything surprising either.

Output: Hardaway was going to announce it himself in less than 2 hours. Let him have his moment. In any case, best of luck to Tim!


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Good luck Trey! [Body]

Output: Good luck in whatever you decide to do. I'm still holding out hope that he could return, although I support him 100% either way. I am not putting any faith in these "reports" that he is gone if for no other reason then that Trey deserves the opportunity to have his moment announcing his decision. I have no respect for these media types that feel the need to report the biggest decision of a young man's life one day before he does so himself. Yes I get it, he is all but certainly gone, but what difference does one day make to some media low-life compared to being able to announce your PESONAL decision to the world on your own terms.

Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Thank you Josh! [Body]

Output: It's the guys on the team like this that made this Final Four run possible. I truly believe this team, with as much talent as it has, would not have been able to accomplish and overcome everthing it did without the fantastic senior leadership from the guys that almost never get a chance to play. Thank you seniors!

Output: Are you kidding me? The SEC gets all of that shit for playing in their conference tourney that every team makes? Please tell me I'm misreading this.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Jon Horford on Jordan [Body]

Output: Jon Horford on Jordan Morgan's drawn charge: “I don’t know if the fans understand that was the biggest play of the game.” I guess I can't speak for the rest of Wolverine Nation, but I know that charge got me out of my seat faster than any other this season. I could see it coming and immediately recognized the significance of it. I think more Michigan fans will look to that play more than Jon Horford is giving us credit for. I at least look at The Charge right up there with The Shot.

Output: Same here in madison! Cannot wait for big ten hockey. So long Alaska, Colorado college, and the handful of Minnesota schools I don't care about!


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Am I missing the point? [Body]

Output: I don't think Michigan has a tougher stretch than any other tourney year for a 4 seed. If you go by top seeds winning then sure they would have to beat three top seeds. But so would any other team if all goes according to plan. Now if it plays out as you say then you could argue its the toughest tournament stretch I suppose, but that seems like a big if. Especially this year!

Output: My question is how are there 5 cooler alumni than Hugh Hefner from Illinios? Seriously people. He should be number one.


Input: [Pos] QB [Player] Shane Morris [Decision?] Necessary [Comments] Given that he played only one useless series against MSU and a single play when Gardner lost his helmet after the WMU game, it is tempting to say he should have redshirted. Unfortunately, the Bellamy injury made it necessary to develop him and he probably should have seen the field more to give Gardner a rest – we just couldn’t open up the lead enough. Tough call – he probably had to play. [Redshirt?]

Output: No


Input: [Pos] RB [Player] Derrick Green [Decision?] Good [Comments] He got a fair number of carries and considering the struggles of the running game he probably should have gotten more. [Redshirt?]

Output: No


Input: [Pos] RB [Player] DeVeon Smith [Decision?] Good [Comments] Given the promise he showed in limited carries and the struggles of the offense you can’t argue burning his redshirt, but you can argue they should have used him more. Prior to the Northwestern game I was advocating for him to have a mysterious back injury like Devin Gardner to reclaim his redshirt since he went weeks without seeing a carry. But in hindsight, he should have been given more carries, not a redshirt. [Redshirt?]

Output: No


Input: [Pos] FB [Player] Wyatt Shallman [Decision?] Good [Comments] Given the depth at the position and his previous injuries, it was the right decision. [Redshirt?]

Output: Yes


Input: [Pos] TE [Player] Jake Butt [Decision?] Good [Comments] Excellent decision as he was the only useful TE on the roster this year and should be a major contributor next season. [Redshirt?]

Output: No


Input: [Pos] TE [Player] Khalid Hill [Decision?] Good [Comments] Considering how poorly the TE’s played for much of the season, it is tempting to have thrown him out there and see what you have. But remember that blocking was their issue and undersized freshmen are not going to be good at blocking…unless they come from Pahokee, FL. [Redshirt?]

Output: Yes


Input: [Pos] WR [Player] Da'Mario Jones [Decision?] Poor [Comments] When your only notable play from the season is accidentally touching a muffed punt, a redshirt was probably warranted. If the coaches weren’t going to play him on offense but like his future, why not redshirt him? [Redshirt?]

Output: No


Input: [Pos] WR [Player] Jaron Dukes [Decision?] Good [Comments] Hardly any young WR got significant snaps, wise to redshirt. [Redshirt?]

Output: Yes


Input: [Pos] WR [Player] Csont'e York [Decision?] Questionable [Comments] Given that on paper neither Dukes or York project to be significant contributors with more heralded recruits at their position on the way, why not put one of them on special teams instead of Jones? [Redshirt?]

Output: No


Input: [Pos] OL [Player] Kyle Bosch [Decision?] Questionable [Comments] When a guy starts multiple games you figure it was the correct decision to burn his redshirt. On top of that, this OL class had a full six members to it so splitting up their eligibility isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But given Bosch’s struggles and the fact that he ended up losing his job, you have to wonder if someone else (Kalis, Bryant, Miller, Braden, Bars) could have performed just as well. [Redshirt?]

Output: No


Input: [Pos] OL [Player] David Dawson Chris Fox Patrick Kugler Dan Samuelson Logan Tuley-Tillman [Decision?] Good [Comments] Had Kugler been healthy you have to wonder if he would have been the next man up in the revolving door that was the OL this season, but it was the right decision to keep all of these redshirts and hope for the best next season. [Redshirt?]

Output: Yes


Input: [Pos] DL [Player] Taco Charlton [Decision?] Good [Comments] He made little impact, but he did end up a part of the rotation late in the season so it is hard to fault his playing time. Next season he should compete at WDE and SDE so the experience should help. [Redshirt?]

Output: No


Input: [Pos] DL [Player] Maurice Hurst Henry Poggi [Decision?] Good [Comments] Interior defensive linemen rarely contribute as freshman and you should try to keep their redshirts if at all possible (*cough* Will Campbell *cough*). Both could be in the rotation at positions of need next season and emulate the emergence of Willie Henry. [Redshirt?]

Output: Yes


Input: [Pos] LB [Player] Ben Gedeon [Decision?] Good [Comments] When you have three viable LB in the rotation along with another playing significant snaps on special teams you would hope to redshirt a guy like Gedeon. But he was forced to play due to injury and actually did reasonably well. [Redshirt?]

Output: No


Input: [Pos] LB [Player] Mike McCray [Decision?] Good [Comments] As a “tweener” linebacker with a lot of depth in front of him it was good to keep his redshirt. [Redshirt?]

Output: Yes


Input: [Pos] DB [Player] Jourdan Lewis Channing Stribling [Decision?] Good [Comments] They had their struggles at times and you have to wonder if Hollowell could have emulated their performance, but you didn’t need to redshirt all of the freshmen. Their snaps were actually pretty high and they shared the “first DB off the bench” title this season. The two of them will compete for the nickel, safety, and dime positions next season. [Redshirt?]

Output: No


Input: [Pos] DB [Player] Reon Dawson Ross Douglas [Decision?] Good [Comments] We had a glut of unheralded corners on the team this year so it was good to redshirt at least a couple of them. [Redshirt?]

Output: Yes


Input: [Pos] DB [Player] Dymonte Thomas [Decision?] Good [Comments] He represents the biggest difference between expectation and performance of anyone in the class. That probably isn’t fair to him since our expectations were likely inflated, but it is a reality. The five star recruit was expected to be a major part of the rotation and instead barely played. He had an amazing blocked punt to start the season and then vanished until late when he struggled in a cameo at nickel back. His development next season will be very interesting as we desperately need help at safety, yet two of his classmates have passed him at nickel back and Peppers joins the squad in a similar capacity. Having his athleticism patrolling at free safety sounds intriguing, but he has a long way to go and lots of other DBs ahead of him on the depth chart. [Redshirt?]

Output: No


Input: [Pos] DB [Player] Delano Hill [Decision?] Good [Comments] He was a constant presence on special teams and looks more like a linebacker than a safety out there…impressive for a freshman. Considering we need to find a starting safety for next season, getting game experience for a physically mature freshman isn’t a bad thing. [Redshirt?]

Output: No


Input: [Pos] LS [Player] Scott Sypniewski [Decision?] Good [Comments] He’s a long snapper…. [Redshirt?]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Is he related to [Body]

Output: The great Sidney moncrief? He was from here and I played AAU years ago for his cousin Shelley moncrief who was still in the area. Just curious if he has any relations to people in the Detroit areas?

Input: [Date] 27 weeks 2 days ago [Title] would most everyone [Body]

Output: prefer we fill the class to the maximum scholarships available, or just take the right amount for depth and focus on 2016 kids? I ask bc depth isnt that bad in some areas, and perhaps taking a class of 10-12 now would be better then a full 16. Next year 16 spots appear to be open, and with a year of HARBAUGH maybe he has a better chance to grab that elite talent next season. Just curious what everyone else thinks,

Output: Get off my lawn.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Body] That word "about" is ambiguous, I agree. But I could also argue that it takes less than a second for a throw to go from 1b to 3b. To me, "about to" would apply to "in about one second". The fielder was doing exactly what she should be doing to catch a thrown ball. Throw was low, she got low. Again, the runner being blocked by the fielder occurred almost simultaneously with the ball hitting the fielder's glove. "About to" is almost not even a concern. But if we say the ball got there after contact, it was absolutely without question within "about to" range. [Title]

Output: That word "about" is


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Body] NCAA actually does not use Asa rules. Their definition of obstruction is: 1.36 Obstruction The act of a defensive team member that hinders or impedes a batter’s attempt to make contact with a pitched ball or that impedes the progress of a runner who is legally running the bases, unless the fielder is in possession of the ball, is fielding a batted ball or is about to receive a thrown ball. The act may be intentional or unintentional and applies to live ball action only. "About to receive a thrown ball" being extremely important. Even in ASA this is a very close call. Runner was not blocked from advancing until she made contact with the 3b. Which was nearly simultaneous with the ball being in the glove. Either way, according to NCAA rule, the 3b had a right to be where she was because she was "about to receive a thrown ball". [Title]

Output: NCAA actually does not use


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Body] It was absolutely the correct call. And the home plate umpire actually may not change the call on his own. When umps huddle up like this, it is still the call of the 3b ump on what to go with. She was being courteous to coach Hutchins by asking. If the input of the other two umpires led the 3b ump to change her own call, then she may change it. But the only umpire that has authority to change the call is the 3b ump in this case. The hp ump can offer what he saw, but the decision is not his, even if he is 100% sure his partner got it wrong. I hope in "years of umping" you never overruled a partners call unilaterally. I wouldn't work with a partner anymore after a move like that. [Title]

Output: It was absolutely the correct


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Then the live view may have been deceiving. The replay clearly shows that the runner did not make contact with the fielder until either after the fielder catches the ball or at least very shortly before. I looked into the ncaa rules to see if they differ from what I call and in fact they do. According to ncaa rules, if the fielder is about to receive a thrown ball, we don't have obstruction here 1.36 Obstruction The act of a defensive team member that hinders or impedes a batter’s attempt to make contact with a pitched ball or that impedes the progress of a runner who is legally running the bases, unless the fielder is in possession of the ball, is fielding a batted ball or is about to receive a thrown ball. The act may be intentional or unintentional and applies to live ball action only. The "about to receive a thrown ball" should be noted in the rule citation. The 1b threw the ball, and the entire time that the ball is in flight the 3b can be considered to be about to receive a thrown ball, and therefore may not be called for obstruction. The rule citation above makes it even less of a blown call, to the point that anyone still claiming that it was a blown call is pretty certainly not looking at this with any sort of an open mind. [Title]

Output: Then the live view may have


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Body] So I umpire a bit of Softball. I'm not sure about the ncaa rule book but from the umpires discussion it would seem that the ncaa rules mirror the ASA rules that I call. The fielder is allowed to be in the runner's way as long as the fielder is holding the ball. It looks to me that the 3b caught the ball just before the runner got to the fielder. JUST before, but at the very least it was a bang bang play. If the 3b had the ball before the runner was "obstructed" then by definition there is no obstruction. I don't see how this is an obviously blown call. At worst its a very close call that the ump got wrong. But to me it does look like the 3b had the ball a split second before the runner made contact with the fielder. What makes this an obviously blown call? [Title]

Output: On the obstruction....

Input: [Date] 19 weeks 6 days ago [Body] you actually have changed my mind here. My solution is not ideal, but as a poster below points out, you should not be able to benefit from violating the rules. Late game comebacks because of intentional fouls are cheap in my opinion. There comes a point where you either play defense and force a turnover, or you should just lose the game. I don't mean that teams should give up, but this game mechanic that allows a team to benefit from fouling seems broken to me. [Title]

Input: [Date] 19 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Change one rule and quality of life for fans goes way up.

Input: [Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Body] How about rather than changing timeouts, they made the following rule change: In the last 5 minutes of regulation and all of overtime, on any non shooting foul that would result in free throws, the coach of the team what would be shooting can opt to have his team inbound the ball in lieu of shooting free throws. This would eliminate or lessen instances of teams fouling in order to extend games and come from behind. To me it is ridiculous that teams are able to intentionally commit fouls to their advantage. If you commit fouls you should not benefit from it. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] It is really neat to discover that Joe Dumars posts here, but what does Joe D have to do with the Bronx? Odd username for an NBA GM. Seriously though, people arent complaining about McLemore or Zellar because most people on this board are Detroit sports fans, and are not concerned with the Charlotte Bobcats. They are concerned with the Pistons. Surely you can understand how Detroit fans may be perturbed that their GM did not select the National Player of the Year from a nearby school, that these fans happen to already like. That feeling is furthered when the guy that was picked ahead of Trey is not wowing anyone by any stretch, while Burke is looking like a rookie of the year frontrunner. Maybe Trey wouldnt have made all of the other Pistons better players, but its entirely plausible that he could have made some better too. To dismiss him because he hasnt elevated each and every Jazz player is plain silly. The statement that is most ludicrous is "he's not going to continue to play if he doesn't improve on those numbers". Really? If Trey doesnt up his field goal %, the Jazz are going to go ahead and bench him? Come on. The Jazz were 1-12 without him. They are 10-13 with him. The only reason they would cut his minutes would be to tank for the lottery. He may not be a perfect player, but I think that the differences in the Jazz' fortunes with and without him show that Trey Burke is a very adequate NBA starting point guard. Maybe he wont be more than "above average". But from the looks of it, KCP is probably not going to ever get to "average". [Title]

But it does make me shake my head in disgust the way his lawyer quoted up early to the news. "“He’s a public figure on TV and does the Fox pregame show on Sundays,” Thurswell said. “He also meets with clients. Even today we don’t know if there will be any residual scarring...or hypopigmentation, where a white spot appears instead of normal skin color.” -From The Detroit News: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20131217/METRO08/312170058#ixzz2nliqQ2aj- Valenti probably deserves some compensation, but the posturing from the lawyer is unneeded in the news story. Yuck. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Body] I certainly see where you are coming from. To me, the difference here is that the ball went out of bounds. Someone had to make a call, and maybe no ref had a good angle. I can get that kind of call, because there was no option to swallow the whistle if you arent positive that you saw something. But to blow your whistle and stop play when you dont have to, to me, makes it a bit less excusable. [Title]

Middlebrooks' teammate put him in a bad spot, and caused him to obstruct the runner. The runner was caused to stumble by the defensive player. You cant penalize the offense for the catcher's poor throw. Joyce made absolutely the correct call, and the rule as written is fair toward the offensive team and does not unjustly penalize the defensive team. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Couldn't agree more. It drives me nuts to see OP's like this. As if offensive players are untouchable angles made of glass, and contact should always be the defender's fault. How about some offensive players learn a pullup jumper from 8 feet instead of lowering their shoulder and going to the basket, knowing that most of the time the call will be in their favor? I think that charges should be called more often. If the defender is in a spot, but shuffles his feet just a little, and an offensive player comes barreling down the lane at full speed into the defender, it seems to be that the offensive player had the most to do with initiating contact, right? And the "restricted area" is silly to me. Why is there a portion of the floor that is exclusively given to offensive players? If the defender is in position, and gets smoked by an offensive player sprinting down the lane, why does it make a difference if his foot is on this line, or just outside it? For those that say establishing position defensively and using your body to impede progress of an offensive player is just lazy defense, would you say that an offensive player is simply playing lazy offense if he does not avoid the defensive player trying to shoulder block him to the floor? Do we all understand what the game would turn into if we removed the charge? Offensive teams full of Hulks with a handle, going to the basket like a dribbling fullback, smoking defenders, and a big shot blocker or two on defense desperately trying to avoid all contact with the ball handlers but somehow reach up and block their shot.

Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] The Pro Football Hall of Fame's induction criteria specificially states that off-field activities not be considered when voting on inductees. So yes, he should. As to whether the criteria should be what it is.....I am a baseball fan above all other pro sports. I loathe what the baseball hall has become, and how it is up to voters to suppose whether or not players used PED's etc. [Title]

Output: Facts


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] Cant beat someone up for saying Labatt's. Thats what i used to call it. Waaay back when, the label said Labatt's, and the tv ad did as well. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] "When you see/hear him yell at his teammates because he gets pick pocketed and no one yells to tell him a man's coming behind him --- that's not good. That's a poor attitude" No, thats asking his teammates to be fundamentally sound. I didnt play hoops to the highest levels, but even I know that if a defender is approaching a ball handler from behind, you call out "wolf" or whatever the teams terminology is to help the ball handler. Obviously it depends on exactly what/how he did the yelling, but I am inclined to not think this is a big deal. I bet if Novak did that a year ago, it would be "leadership". If Stauskas does it now, its "poor attitude". I did notice him getting pretty upset with the officials. I cant say that I blame him a bunch, as it seemed very one-sided. I dont think that Stauskas was any more upset than Morgan was at times. I did miss the play where he got hacked and didnt get back on defense. He probably does need to get a bit better at shrugging off a poor call, sure. But thats a lot of guys. Beilein players are better than most at hustling and worrying about bad calls later. Nik will get there. The notion that he was missing shots and that was a cause for him needing to be pulled is a bit off. He is one of the best shooters in the nation, and he was getting good looks. Good enough that Rafferty on TV would be saying "Oh, you cant leave him open". Those threes dont always fall. He missed 3-4 good looks. You dont yank a great shooter for missing a few good looks. On D, maybe he isnt Gary Payton. Hell, maybe he isnt average. But I simply do not see him as this big giant negative. I promise that nearly anyone being run through 3-4 screens in a row to get their man open is going to play less than flawlessly on D. I would have to go back and re-watch the game to see (and I probably will if I can find it), but I am not sure that the criticism of Stauskas' defense is warranted. Not saying that Nik had a great game. But outside of not taking great care of the ball by moving a bit too fast on offense, I dont see a reason to be a message board poster composing multiple posts and paragraphs to illustrate the kid's poor play and bad attitude.

Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Body] My neighbors across the street are alums and involved in the alumni association. I will try to catch them tomorrow and see if they have any info. I will probably create a thread or diary tomorrow with a few tips for fellow mgobloggers that may be visiting my city this weeked. Some tips on where to park to avoid traffic, some bars, etc. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Body] No problem sir. Your backup plan if Mulligan's is crowded is to continue walking NE down SR23 (the street that Mulligan's is on) and trying to find a table at Between the Buns, or Main Street Pub. [Title]

Output: Yup


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Mulligan's sports bar. Big ND place, but the owners, Pat and Sue Mulligan are friends of mine. They are true ND fans themselves, but an opposing team's fan is welcome in their place and only teased good-naturedly as long as said opposing fans are chill. The place is within easy walking distance from the stadium, and it has the giant advantage of NOT being the hellhole known as the Linebacker Lounge across the street. The food at Mulligan's is really good. If you see a big guy running around with a beercan stuck to his forehead and yelling "welcome home", and "as it should be!", go ahead and introduce yourself to Pat Mulligan, a helluva dude.

Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Body] No matter what they tell you in school, simply mentioning a person's race, religion, or ethnicity isn't offensive or insulting. Honest. Fantastic. This times a million. People getting all up in arms when race/religion is so much as mentioned are tiresome and most of the time simply looking to get someone in trouble for doing so. In this case, the reference to Gottlieb being Jewish is 100% relevant. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Body] Maybe its just me, and I will almost certainly get negged here.....but I dont get why you would give enough information that people could easily google a few teams and schedules to figure out exactly who Megan is, but for some reason not just say in your threads at least which team she plays for. I dont understand. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Body] Every June/July this happens. Also, perhaps balloting for the MgoAwards (Team of the year, play of the year, etc. 100+ point users can submit a ballot. Perhaps require a $5 donation to Beveled Guilt, or some charity to cast a ballot. Call it 75% to get in at any time. The classes are kept smaller-ish by allowing a max of 7 HOF votes on an individual ballot. This way, if there are several no-brainers, you can have a bigger class if the merit is there and voting support is strong and like-minded. If there are a few borderline guys and no really deserving ones, the vote will divide more and you will have a smaller class. Love the idea of reaching out to any inductees and offering them an opportunity to write a piece for the blog upon inductions. I would suggest for the first year, not inflating the amount of maximum votes on a particular ballot by a crazy amount. Three times the norm should be sufficient to begin building this hall with the obvious inductees, while also probably leaving some guys for us to debate/induct in future years. [Title]
