Input: [Date] 1 year 1 week ago [Title] Missing the Obvious Answer [Body]

Output: This is likely not about getting cheap home games, but a clear scheduling preference by Beilien and co. You have a young team, you want some opportunities to build confidence, try different things in game settings, etc. While the overall RPI might take a small hit, playing teams in the 190s vs the 290s doesn't affect how many top 50 or top 100 RPI wins you have. And with the B1G being so good, the end of year RPI is always high if you do well. The marginal difference in overall RPI might not make the increased chance of losing one of those games worth it if you're trying to game it out. But it seems to me it's just a clear choice by the coaching staff: in the nonconf they want (1) big-time games and (2) games the team is going to win by 20 pts, and that's about it.

Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] The stats and experts disagree [Body]

Output: Beilein is considered a master of late-game/out-of-time plays. ESPN's Fraschilla tweeted last night about JB being a maestro after the play for GRIII. Dakich has praised this about JB too. And the stats suggest that JB and Michigan have been the best in the B1G the past couple of years in out-of-timeout situations. http://www.umhoops.com/2014/02/10/big-ten-power-rankings-february-10th-2014/ http://www.umhoops.com/2013/03/08/behind-the-numbers-blobs-slobs-and-time-outs/


Input: [Date] 1 year 37 weeks ago [Title] It was execution, but that doesn't excuse the coaches [Body]

Output: A way to beat that type of defense is with big passing plays. These plays were there for the taking. That first pass on the first drive should have been a touchdown. On the third drive we get this: DG "can't find Funchess wide, wide open on a circle route for the first down and instead takes off." On the fourth drive we get this: "Funchess runs a great route that gets separation; Michigan protects it; Gardner chucks it wide." I'm not blaming DG and excusing the coaches. It's the coaches job to get the QB ready to execute the gameplan. And to have linemen and RBs who can pass protect. But the "scheme" actually had pretty wide open TDs or close to it on a whole bunch of drives, including the first few. That's not a bad scheme. Richrod had 28 yards total rushing his second year @MSU, but people go crazy for his scheme.


Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Title] The problem isn't timing, it's jumping to conclusions... [Body]

Output: ...without sufficient data. As Sherlock Holmes will you tell you old chap, "it is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theores, instead of theories to suit facts."


Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Title] This could be true, but these [Body]

Output: This could be true, but these are the kinds of rumors I don't put much stock in. First, it's a rumor of what other players say Booker said. That's a game of telephone, that is. And players often have no idea what exactly is going on -- that one kid was sure that Grantham was following him to Cincinnati and then the Bearcats were out of the picture a couple days later. Meanwhile, even Ulis publicly said that Booker hasn't told him anything although they've talked about playing together, and Booker seems to have been careful not to say anything publcly in advance of his Missouri trip. All that said, I'd certainly rather have the rumor be that he's telling people he's going to UM, and thanks for the info.


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] You have to count Doyle [Body]

Output: Not counting him because he was an early commit makes no sense. Hatch was originally a 2013 guy so we can exclude him in discussing 2014. Here's another way to think about it: Early offers/high interest: Doyle - commit Chatman - commit Looney - miss Diop - miss Tate - miss Bluiett - miss Booker - ? Edwards - partiall miss? Late interest: Blackmon - ? Wilson - ? Devin Robinson? - miss Grantham - miss By my count, we're 2 out of 6 so far on early offers/high interest. That strikes me as very good considering how high these guys were rated and that none of them were from Michigan. Remember, Doyle reportedly had OSU, Purdue, Notre Dame, and Miami offers. You can't get every high-rated guy you go after, and it's very hard to come in late on high-rated guys who've had people recruiting them for ages. The final grade will depend on getting one of Booker/Blackmon (or I guess Bluiett or Bolden maybe), but so far they've done very well after two pretty exceptional years. I'd say they have a good recruiting strategy.


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] If true, my guess would be a 2015 guy [Body]

Output: Maybe Jalen Brunson? Although that's based on zilch other than no 2014 guys seems to fit and good-but-no-insider vibes on his recruitment. After all, his dad was an NBA player -- those guys tend to mesh with our staff. Plus, Illinois got a top 2014 PG and they were thought to be our major competition. Just to add total internet speculation to unverified speculation, though I hope it's all true.


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] I don't see it that way for Booker/Blackmon [Body]

Output: Blackmon and Booker both have Kentucky offers. If Kentucky was really the first choice for both, one would jump on it. There may be some interplay between Blackmon, Booker, and Oubre, but my guess is it's much less simple than how Brian depicts it. After McGary, Irvin, Chatman, etc., the evidence shows that UM has a good shot at the prospects they're in on seriously no matter who else is there too.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] I get your point, but... [Body]

Output: ...there's also been some revisionist history the other way. In his first game, Trey went 1-7 against Ferris State with 0 assists. He had 7 assists and 6 TOs in his first 3 games. Over the course of the year, his asst/TO ratio was 1.66 and he shot just under 35% from 3. He was bad against Ohio St. in the B1G tourney and pretty poor against Ohio in the NCAA tourney. If he'd left after 1 year, he might not have been drafted at all (and was certainly unlikely to be a 1st rounder). Don't get me wrong, he was great for a freshman his 1st year and well-above his ranking. But he improved greatly from how he came in, a testament to his hard work, the coaching staff, and his teammates. Walton might or might not be better at the same stage, but it's not a crazy statement.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] Has Sam Webb said anything about Booker lately? [Body]

Output: He's been pretty bullish overall and he is usually in the know. Until he goes negative, I'll continue to think we have a good shot. McGary's recruitment was a lot like Booker's. Some go your way, some don't. Booker's had a process in place for a long time and I wouldn't take too much from the fact he hasn't committed yet.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] OSU won the B1G tourney this [Body]

Output: OSU won the B1G tourney this year. For the 2nd time in those 3 years (the other was a finals loss to MSU). Win total is affected by the B1G tourney too, for better and for worse. Overall, success is (perhaps unfairly) measured in large part by NCAA tourney success, so it might be underweighted by looking at win total (vs, say, the nonconference schedule). But the point is taken that overall wins is only one measurement.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] True, although IU's been [Body]

Output: True, although IU's been doing pretty well on the recruiting trail and has a higher profile than PU. If IU keeps pulling in recruits like Zeller, Ferrell, and Vonleh they'll win a lot of games.


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] OSU has the best case for success over the next 3 years [Body]

Output: Quick quiz: who leads the B1G in overall hoops wins the past three years: Answer: OSU, by a country mile, with 94 (including a final four run, an elite 8 run, and a tip to the sweet sixteen). In second place we have our own UM with 76 (and a run to the finals). MSU is just behind us in 3rd with 75 (topping out with 2 Sweet 16 appearances), with Wiscy next at 74. Obviously strength of nonconference schedule has something to do with all of this, but OSU's case over the last 3 years is head and shoulders above anyone else's. OSU has also been doing pretty will on the recruiting trail - Rivals has them with 5 4-stars and 2 5-stars coming in in the 2013-15 classes. I understand why MSU gets props from the national media, but OSU has been the best B1G program over the last little while. Obviously UM has been doing pretty well the last little bit too and is trending upward. With IU on the rise, Illinois probably improving, MD coming in, MSU and Wiscy hard to discount, the B1G is really going to be tough the next few years.

Output: ...who was down to Purdue and Michigan. Bluiett supposedly is considering a whole bunch of teams, though Butler was believed to be the leader with Michigan 2nd.


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] It is not true that Michigan [Body]

Output: It is not true that Michigan "never, ever posts guys up" -- the coaches tried it with Horford and McGary at times. And they will certainly do it more this year. Look for Mitch in particular to get more opportunities with the ball in the high post and the low block. How large a part of the offense it becomes and whether it could emerge as a late-game go-to set are the questions.


Input: [Date] 2 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Beilein's track record with preferred walk-ons is impressive [Body]

Output: Former walk-on Sai Tummala just committed to Arizona State as a scholarship player. Other guys like Eso and Josh turned down mid-majors or playing time at Ivy schools. It might not be quite as flashy as the improved top-end recruiting, but getting these guys is another example of JB and crew doing the work from top to bottom, of working on the top five recruit starter to the practice squad behind the scenes leader.


Input: [Date] 2 years 12 weeks ago [Title] According to Tillman's AAU [Body]

Output: According to Tillman's AAU coach, Tillman has interest but no offer yet from UM. This is from a @UMHoops RT of a tweet from the coach @MichaelAllie


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Title] The effort to downplay Nik's [Body]

Output: The effort to downplay Nik's year is peculiar to me. In B1G play, Nik had the 12th best 3pt% in the entire conference, and was 3rd for freshmen (behind Harris and Dekker), not bad when "don't let Stauskas shoot a 3" was the 1st or second emphasis (don't let Burke into the lane being the other) of every defense. He currently stands 3rd in career 3pt% in Michigan history (behind Rice and Higgins) and his season was the 9th single best season in 3pt% in Michigan history (all the others occurred wh the line was shorter, by the way). He shot "just" 38% from 3 for the tournament. That seems pretty good. Trey shot 31% for comparison. It's also easy to play the "if you take" game. If you take out Nik's worst game of the tournament, he shot 45% from the field in the tourney. If you take Nik's two worst B1G games out, he shot 41% from 3. So, I guess it's true that Nik doesn't shoot as well as a freshman in B1G play when some of the best defenses in the country are keyed on stopping him from shooting the 3 as he does in the video, but he still shoots awfully well. And he does so in large part because of all the time practicing shooting, just like the video demonstrates. Some people appear to have been blinded by Nik's almost inhuman start to the year to the excellent year Nik had.


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Title] I agree completely that [Body]

Output: I agree completely that students who show up late -- especially after the game starts -- shouldn't automatically get better seats than students who were there early. But this "slap in the face" thing, I mean, for some students Michigan football is a fun part of going to the school but they don't live and breathe it. I don't remember for sure, but I don't think students can even buy single game student section tickets. Some students want to go sometimes but not others, or for a half but not the whole game. It's frustrating for others that they have such good tickets and don't make use of them like devoted fans, but being jealous doesn't make anger a sensible or productive response. Part of being a student at UM is getting perks re: UM athletic games. The fact that worst seats in the student section are not always full is not intended as an insult to alumni (and others) who wish they could have those seats, it's just college kids making decisions. A few empty rows in one corner of the endzone isn't a crazy price to pay for being a college team.


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Title] If Rutgers and MD do turn out to be good for business... [Body]

Output: ...and the fact that they bring in two of the biggest media markets does turn out to help the B1G financially, are we going to get one of those one sentence apologies and then be expected to pretend like all the rage and wrongness never happened -- you know, like the whole we should keep RR for a fourth year instead of hiring Hoke thing? Just want to be prepared.


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Title] If it makes you feel better, [Body]

Output: If it makes you feel better, I laugh at the umbrage toward current students. I happened to be one of the students, back in the day, who sometimes slept until 1 or 2 pm because I was socializing or playing music or reading or watching movies or running around the arb until 4 in the morning. Regardless, it doesn't seem like too much for current students to have less than 20% of the stadium's capacity, including some of the worst seats, and to have a some relatively small percent of those seats empty in the lesser important games of the season. And the RR years cannot have helped. Now, that does not mean the AD is wrong for going to GA and rewarding kids who come early or doing some other rewards program. But all the anger toward current students for not filling up their section to absolute capacity right at tipoff is goofy.


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Title] Good point [Body]

Output: We have guys that can play multiple positions, and they likely will (particularly the upperclassmen), in order to deal with match-ups and get our best guys on the floor.

Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Body] I realize this response is three days late, but how you could infer from the post that because of free agency problems under Millen the team would have the same problems under Mayhew is beyond me when I mentioned neither Millen nor free agency (nor Mayhew for that matter). Instead, I meant to highlight that going in, there was an obvious weakness of the team - the secondary - and they could have addressed it in the second round. The appeal of addressing this through the draft is that it is almost guaranteed the player will be on your team next season. IMO drafting the best available is a strategy that works great for the first round or when your team does not have a huge weakness. It is quite possible that the team can address the issue in free agency. However, the team's top DB targets in free agency may get offered more money elsewhere or may not want to play for the Lions. Free agency is a riskier option to address team needs, and when one is as big a need as the Lions have, I would have preferred the guarantee of the draft. [Title]

It is pretty far south of campus, but it will not disappoint you if you are into incredible burgers. It isn't so much of a sports bar as a hole-in-the-wall restaurant.

Input: [Date] 4 years 22 weeks ago [Body] Isiah Thomas covertly offering advice and guidance to an owner who gave him an extension for ruining the franchise is a far-fetched idea to you. However, in the comment you made before this, the theory that an SEC team receiving sanctions would result in a secession of the SEC from the NCAA, forming an "unregulated football super alliance" seems plausible to you? http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/ot-alabama-and-barry-sanders-jr-more#comment... Care to explain your logic? [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] I was in the same situation after my first year. I thought law school would be interesting and make me a more well-rounded person for whatever job I decided to pursue, and I was hoping to do something in the public interest sector. However, I seriously considered leaving. Among other reasons, I hated focusing on the academic side 24/7. I decided to give the second year a try, but I wanted to try something different - doing something I liked. I volunteered at a legal aid office, got involved in some of the school organizations, and joined one of the school's legal clinics. It made my experience a lot better because I found that I actually cared about what I was doing. So if you want any advice, I would say tough out that first year, and then think about what initially interested you in law school. From there, pursue activities, organizations, and opportunities that relate to those initial reasons for going. [Title]

Output: I was in the same situation


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] I wasn't thrilled when Brady Hoke was hired, especially with all the big names being thrown around. I found that I was extremely frustrated, however, when reading reactions from the traditional media outlets and former players. It is great that these two factions are now once again "all in" for Michigan, but where were they during the RichRod era? Why couldn't they give the same support? Now, Braylon Edwards and Michael Rosenberg are telling me that I am supposed to be excited about this hire and "all in" for the team. It's ridiculous. If the likes of Cato June and Aaron Shea really support Michigan, they should have done so through thick and thin, regardless of who the coach was. Yet, because it was not Michigan football the way they wanted it to be, they decide who they should support, and I am supposed to blindly follow. Whether alluded to or bluntly stated, I hear a lot of people saying that they want things back to the way they were with Coach Carr. It seems people remember what he did differently from me because I recall a 1-5 record against Tressel, a traditional Rose Bowl demolishing, and an inability to stop a running quarterback. I was excited Michigan decided to take a step in a new direction that would finally address these problems. I do not necessarily think RichRod was the right person for the job given the on-field results and the numerous player transfers, but I continue to wonder "what if" when it comes to the support he should have received from these two factions that were so opposed to him from Day 1. Maybe it would not have changed anything, but I would have liked to see what could have happened. I want to support this hire, and I will in time, but everytime I see another former player or reporter telling me how much I should like this decision, I have a harder time doing so. [Title]

Output: I am bitter


Input: [Date] 4 years 32 weeks ago [Body] I don't think you are really remembering the main issue us "idiots" had. Most of the outrage was over the lack of communication between the coaching staff and the admissions staff. The issue I and many others seemed to have was that he was cleared to receive a LOI by more than just the coaching staff. Then in June he found out he was not going to be accepted here based on an admissions decision. http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/dorsey-letter#comment-507503 I understand now just how bad his grades were, but I still think letting a student know he cannot attend a school 3 months before the start of the semester is poor form.

Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] For me, it is the first Michigan loss I can remember - vs. Colorado in 1994. It was the first time I ever cried after a loss. After the game, my dad took me to the park to blow off some steam. As we were leaving the parking lot, some kid had left his bike behind our car, and we ran it over as we were backing out. I was able to keep it together as the kid was crying, but I felt bad for both my dad and the kid. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 4 weeks ago [Body] When you talk about Dwayne Wade being an automatic plug-in over Rip, do you mean over the long-term or during our championship season? If it is over the long-term, then I do not disagree, but for the 2003-2004 season: Richard Hamilton - 35.5 MPG, 17.6 ppg, 4.0 assists, 3.6 rpg, 1.6 steals, 2.6 TO Dwayne Wade - 34.9 MPG, 16.2 ppg, 4.5 assists, 4 rpg, 1.4 steals, 3.2 TO Throw in the fact that Rip's offensive game wore down the other team's SG or SF, and I do not think Wade is a tier above for that season. Also, what made the Pistons a unique championship team is that they really lacked a superstar. They played basketball as a team and focused on defense. A rookie like Carmelo or Bosh would be talented, but from a chemistry standpoint, it could screw up the entire team (e.g. Carmelo complaining that Larry Brown was too hard on him, wanting more minutes, etc.).

Input: [Date] 5 years 6 weeks ago [Body] ...did the athletic department offer your cousin a scholarship to play football here? Did your cousin sign a LOI to attend and play for Michigan? I hope you can recognize that Demar Dorsey went further than simply having a desire to play football for us, and if his academic status was different, he would be. [Title]

Output: That depends...


Input: [Date] 5 years 7 weeks ago [Body] While I appreciate your attempt to give us perspective on this, you seem to be missing the main point. The frustration/disappointment/other negative feeling many of us have for our university right now almost entirely is based on how this situation has been handled. We made him an offer, he accepted and qualified, and now we might not be letting him in. Not only that, but we are keeping him in the dark about what his current status is. Sure we want to see him on the football field this fall, but if this were any other student, and not an athlete, I would feel just as bad for him/her. I just haven't learned of the University handling any other student's enrollment like this. I find no hypocrisy in a position that wants the University to fulfill its end of the bargain, after Dorsey fulfilled his. If we allow Dorsey in, we will still be a strong academic institution. One student-athlete, deserving of a second chance, does not change that. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Body] But that's apples and oranges though, since the Foamposites and Retro J's are exclusive, that's what makes them cool and desirable. A better comparison would be a Lebron or KD vs. a Hyperdunk, I'm pretty sure I know what they'd rather have. That being said, the exclusivity of the Jordan brand is gonna be pretty cool and give us some good exposure. And I'll also say Nike is a heck of a lot better at marketing their athletes/universities, hence why they sell a lot more. We'll see when the crop of young guys come up though, I think UA and adidas have both done a good job signing young up and coming talent. [Title]

Output: But that's apples and oranges


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Body] This is the case and how these contracts work. Again, it will be easier to analyze this once the details come out. Nike does sell better here in the US, that's a given. But to your point of the kids wanting KD's and Kobe's and such, that's becuase of the name attached to it. Kids want the Lebron's because they're Lebron's, not Nike's. This is part of the reason why adidas chose to let go of the NBA contract. People don't buy Kevin Durant jerseys because they love adidas, they do it because they love Kevin Durant. Similarly, (outside of the <.05% of the fan base that posts on here) people don't buy Michigan apparel because they love Nike or adidas, they do it because they love Michigan. These deals are far more valuable to the apparel companies than the schools, you'd be naiive to think otherwise. Now I'm not saying I don't expect to see a spike in apparel sales, I totally do and I think the fanbase as a whole is ready to move on from the DB/RR/Hoke era, and the Nike contract ushers in a fresh start. Will it make up for the money we left on the table with adidas? I HIGHLY doubt that, but it remains to be seen. The thing that scares me is that it's a 12 year deal. That's a long time. A lot can change in 12 years. 12 years ago Under Armour was just gaining momentum, and still was only making baselayer/compression gear. Look where they are now. Just something to think about.

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 2 days ago [Body] This has nothing to do with adidas. They will still be the supplier for the upcoming season. It likely has more to do with the "generic" numbers they had last year not being worn by prominent players this year for football, like 98 for example.

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I keep hearing this argument, but is there any actual proof of it happening before? Genuinely curious.

Input: [Date] 18 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Where are you hearing this? One of the big reasons ND went with UA was that they wanted to have the largest contract in the NCAA, but adidas refused to make their deal worth more than Michigan's, whether through loyalty or contractual obligation. Also, when asked about the potential of more team/player sponsorships, UA's CEO said "we're not going to compete with our dumbest competitor." I think this kind of shows that company's direction, and I highly doubt more high profile college sponsorships are in their future. LINK to that story. [Title]

Output: Where are you hearing this?

Input: [Date] 19 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I hate that I agree with you, because I want to believe that true competition still exists anymore, but this is spot on. Wisconsin is the B1G's only chance to bring exposure to the conference"brand" this March, so they need to advance and get a high tourney seed, simple as that. I'm staying positive because we played pretty well, but the odds are against us [Title]

Output: I hate that I agree with you,

Input: [Date] 20 weeks 22 hours ago [Body] NIke is better based on what? I keep seeing the argument "Nike is clearly better" but have not seen any concrete reasons why other than "kids like it." You say that adidas sucks, but also say you only have ever bought one piece of apparel? I'm not saying everything they make is amazing but it's impossible to judge based on one item. And when we first signed the adidas contract, I would have agreed that Nike does make a superior product. adidas was crap up until about 2 1/2 years ago. But now, adidas has the top performance footwear on the market, hands down. And like it or not, tournament unis bring exposure to the brand. You're talking about it, and that was the goal. Remember when Nike had all of their schools wearing gray a couple years ago? People on here would have had a meltdown if that happened to us. There's also something to be said for being a company's flagship school. Given our recent success we'd be a middle tier Nike school at best. I mean look at Miami (YTM). They were the original sponsored school, but they've been down for a few years, Nike treats them like crap and they end up leaving for adidas. [Title]

I don't feel like I matter to the AD, and that's a problem. He takes this "this is big business, you wouldn't understand" attitude to things and it's very off-putting. I've never felt so disconnected from the program [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] Why? He is basically saying that the University has stripped everything away from games that made them fun and unique. If i want obnoxiously loud piped in music and advertisements at every stoppage of play, I can get that in the comfort of my own home by turning on the tv and cranking up the surround sound. The only difference is that I saved hundreds of dollars on parking, tickets, and absurdly overpriced food, and hours of time spent waiting in lines. The one thing I would miss out on by not going to the games now is the halftime show. And since they decided to turn that into an advertisement as well, i'm ok with missing it. [Title]

Output: I realize this response is three days late, but how you could infer from the post that because of free agency problems under Millen the team would have the same problems under Mayhew is beyond me when I mentioned neither Millen nor free agency (nor Mayhew for that matter). Instead, I meant to highlight that going in, there was an obvious weakness of the team - the secondary - and they could have addressed it in the second round. The appeal of addressing this through the draft is that it is almost guaranteed the player will be on your team next season. IMO drafting the best available is a strategy that works great for the first round or when your team does not have a huge weakness. It is quite possible that the team can address the issue in free agency. However, the team's top DB targets in free agency may get offered more money elsewhere or may not want to play for the Lions. Free agency is a riskier option to address team needs, and when one is as big a need as the Lions have, I would have preferred the guarantee of the draft.

It is pretty far south of campus, but it will not disappoint you if you are into incredible burgers. It isn't so much of a sports bar as a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. I remember them having televisions there, too. Just make sure to get there early because there usually is a wait. http://www.thethurmancafe.com/


Input: [Date] 4 years 22 weeks ago [Title] ? [Body]

Output: Isiah Thomas covertly offering advice and guidance to an owner who gave him an extension for ruining the franchise is a far-fetched idea to you. However, in the comment you made before this, the theory that an SEC team receiving sanctions would result in a secession of the SEC from the NCAA, forming an "unregulated football super alliance" seems plausible to you? http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/ot-alabama-and-barry-sanders-jr-more#comment... Care to explain your logic?


Input: [Date] 4 years 26 weeks ago [Title] It seems you do not understand the point of the post [Body]

Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] I was in the same situation [Body]

Output: I was in the same situation after my first year. I thought law school would be interesting and make me a more well-rounded person for whatever job I decided to pursue, and I was hoping to do something in the public interest sector. However, I seriously considered leaving. Among other reasons, I hated focusing on the academic side 24/7. I decided to give the second year a try, but I wanted to try something different - doing something I liked. I volunteered at a legal aid office, got involved in some of the school organizations, and joined one of the school's legal clinics. It made my experience a lot better because I found that I actually cared about what I was doing. So if you want any advice, I would say tough out that first year, and then think about what initially interested you in law school. From there, pursue activities, organizations, and opportunities that relate to those initial reasons for going.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] I am bitter [Body]

Output: I wasn't thrilled when Brady Hoke was hired, especially with all the big names being thrown around. I found that I was extremely frustrated, however, when reading reactions from the traditional media outlets and former players. It is great that these two factions are now once again "all in" for Michigan, but where were they during the RichRod era? Why couldn't they give the same support? Now, Braylon Edwards and Michael Rosenberg are telling me that I am supposed to be excited about this hire and "all in" for the team. It's ridiculous. If the likes of Cato June and Aaron Shea really support Michigan, they should have done so through thick and thin, regardless of who the coach was. Yet, because it was not Michigan football the way they wanted it to be, they decide who they should support, and I am supposed to blindly follow. Whether alluded to or bluntly stated, I hear a lot of people saying that they want things back to the way they were with Coach Carr. It seems people remember what he did differently from me because I recall a 1-5 record against Tressel, a traditional Rose Bowl demolishing, and an inability to stop a running quarterback. I was excited Michigan decided to take a step in a new direction that would finally address these problems. I do not necessarily think RichRod was the right person for the job given the on-field results and the numerous player transfers, but I continue to wonder "what if" when it comes to the support he should have received from these two factions that were so opposed to him from Day 1. Maybe it would not have changed anything, but I would have liked to see what could have happened. I want to support this hire, and I will in time, but everytime I see another former player or reporter telling me how much I should like this decision, I have a harder time doing so.


Input: [Date] 4 years 32 weeks ago [Title] Rewriting history [Body]

Output: I don't think you are really remembering the main issue us "idiots" had. Most of the outrage was over the lack of communication between the coaching staff and the admissions staff. The issue I and many others seemed to have was that he was cleared to receive a LOI by more than just the coaching staff. Then in June he found out he was not going to be accepted here based on an admissions decision. http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/dorsey-letter#comment-507503 I understand now just how bad his grades were, but I still think letting a student know he cannot attend a school 3 months before the start of the semester is poor form.


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] For me, it is the first [Body]

Output: For me, it is the first Michigan loss I can remember - vs. Colorado in 1994. It was the first time I ever cried after a loss. After the game, my dad took me to the park to blow off some steam. As we were leaving the parking lot, some kid had left his bike behind our car, and we ran it over as we were backing out. I was able to keep it together as the kid was crying, but I felt bad for both my dad and the kid.


Input: [Date] 5 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Confused [Body]

Output: When you talk about Dwayne Wade being an automatic plug-in over Rip, do you mean over the long-term or during our championship season? If it is over the long-term, then I do not disagree, but for the 2003-2004 season: Richard Hamilton - 35.5 MPG, 17.6 ppg, 4.0 assists, 3.6 rpg, 1.6 steals, 2.6 TO Dwayne Wade - 34.9 MPG, 16.2 ppg, 4.5 assists, 4 rpg, 1.4 steals, 3.2 TO Throw in the fact that Rip's offensive game wore down the other team's SG or SF, and I do not think Wade is a tier above for that season. Also, what made the Pistons a unique championship team is that they really lacked a superstar. They played basketball as a team and focused on defense. A rookie like Carmelo or Bosh would be talented, but from a chemistry standpoint, it could screw up the entire team (e.g. Carmelo complaining that Larry Brown was too hard on him, wanting more minutes, etc.).


Input: [Date] 5 years 6 weeks ago [Title] That depends... [Body]

Output: ...did the athletic department offer your cousin a scholarship to play football here? Did your cousin sign a LOI to attend and play for Michigan? I hope you can recognize that Demar Dorsey went further than simply having a desire to play football for us, and if his academic status was different, he would be.


Input: [Date] 5 years 7 weeks ago [Title] While I appreciate your [Body]

Output: While I appreciate your attempt to give us perspective on this, you seem to be missing the main point. The frustration/disappointment/other negative feeling many of us have for our university right now almost entirely is based on how this situation has been handled. We made him an offer, he accepted and qualified, and now we might not be letting him in. Not only that, but we are keeping him in the dark about what his current status is. Sure we want to see him on the football field this fall, but if this were any other student, and not an athlete, I would feel just as bad for him/her. I just haven't learned of the University handling any other student's enrollment like this. I find no hypocrisy in a position that wants the University to fulfill its end of the bargain, after Dorsey fulfilled his. If we allow Dorsey in, we will still be a strong academic institution. One student-athlete, deserving of a second chance, does not change that.

Input: [Date] 41 weeks 5 hours ago [Body] The result was a good one - an extra hit on the QB (and perhaps some added momentum for the defense, which pretty much owned the second half). I thought it was a bad idea, but it is interesting that with the actual result having been positive, and the chances of a 60+yard touchdown hail mary quite low, there's still so much anger. (Also, a problem with calling the TO earlier is that PSU could still go for it on 4th and 1 and have more downs. And even if you get the ball on your own 30 or lower with 15 seconds left, it's no great thing. It seemed to me an attempt to get a punt block/return, thinking that PSU would see the probability of getting their own score pretty low and would rather punt it away, even out of bounds, to avoid a pick or a Hackenburg sack. Like I said, I didn't love it, probably not the right move, but it's the same aggression that was once lauded around these parts and, to me, the whole episode is more revealing of the anger and lack of composure around here than on the sidelines.) [Title]

Output: The result was a good one -

Input: [Date] 1 year 1 week ago [Body] This is likely not about getting cheap home games, but a clear scheduling preference by Beilien and co. You have a young team, you want some opportunities to build confidence, try different things in game settings, etc. While the overall RPI might take a small hit, playing teams in the 190s vs the 290s doesn't affect how many top 50 or top 100 RPI wins you have. And with the B1G being so good, the end of year RPI is always high if you do well. The marginal difference in overall RPI might not make the increased chance of losing one of those games worth it if you're trying to game it out. But it seems to me it's just a clear choice by the coaching staff: in the nonconf they want (1) big-time games and (2) games the team is going to win by 20 pts, and that's about it. [Title]

Output: Missing the Obvious Answer

Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] Beilein is considered a master of late-game/out-of-time plays. ESPN's Fraschilla tweeted last night about JB being a maestro after the play for GRIII. Dakich has praised this about JB too. And the stats suggest that JB and Michigan have been the best in the B1G the past couple of years in out-of-timeout situations. http://www.umhoops.com/2014/02/10/big-ten-power-rankings-february-10th-2014/ http://www.umhoops.com/2013/03/08/behind-the-numbers-blobs-slobs-and-time-outs/ [Title]

Output: The stats and experts disagree


Input: [Date] 1 year 37 weeks ago [Body] A way to beat that type of defense is with big passing plays. These plays were there for the taking. That first pass on the first drive should have been a touchdown. On the third drive we get this: DG "can't find Funchess wide, wide open on a circle route for the first down and instead takes off." On the fourth drive we get this: "Funchess runs a great route that gets separation; Michigan protects it; Gardner chucks it wide." I'm not blaming DG and excusing the coaches. It's the coaches job to get the QB ready to execute the gameplan. And to have linemen and RBs who can pass protect. But the "scheme" actually had pretty wide open TDs or close to it on a whole bunch of drives, including the first few. That's not a bad scheme. Richrod had 28 yards total rushing his second year @MSU, but people go crazy for his scheme. [Title]

Output: It was execution, but that doesn't excuse the coaches


Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Body] ...without sufficient data. As Sherlock Holmes will you tell you old chap, "it is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theores, instead of theories to suit facts." [Title]

Output: The problem isn't timing, it's jumping to conclusions...


Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Body] This could be true, but these are the kinds of rumors I don't put much stock in. First, it's a rumor of what other players say Booker said. That's a game of telephone, that is. And players often have no idea what exactly is going on -- that one kid was sure that Grantham was following him to Cincinnati and then the Bearcats were out of the picture a couple days later. Meanwhile, even Ulis publicly said that Booker hasn't told him anything although they've talked about playing together, and Booker seems to have been careful not to say anything publcly in advance of his Missouri trip. All that said, I'd certainly rather have the rumor be that he's telling people he's going to UM, and thanks for the info. [Title]

Output: This could be true, but these


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Body] Not counting him because he was an early commit makes no sense. Hatch was originally a 2013 guy so we can exclude him in discussing 2014. Here's another way to think about it: Early offers/high interest: Doyle - commit Chatman - commit Looney - miss Diop - miss Tate - miss Bluiett - miss Booker - ? Edwards - partiall miss? Late interest: Blackmon - ? Wilson - ? Devin Robinson? - miss Grantham - miss By my count, we're 2 out of 6 so far on early offers/high interest. That strikes me as very good considering how high these guys were rated and that none of them were from Michigan. Remember, Doyle reportedly had OSU, Purdue, Notre Dame, and Miami offers. You can't get every high-rated guy you go after, and it's very hard to come in late on high-rated guys who've had people recruiting them for ages. The final grade will depend on getting one of Booker/Blackmon (or I guess Bluiett or Bolden maybe), but so far they've done very well after two pretty exceptional years. I'd say they have a good recruiting strategy. [Title]

Output: You have to count Doyle


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Body] Maybe Jalen Brunson? Although that's based on zilch other than no 2014 guys seems to fit and good-but-no-insider vibes on his recruitment. After all, his dad was an NBA player -- those guys tend to mesh with our staff. Plus, Illinois got a top 2014 PG and they were thought to be our major competition. Just to add total internet speculation to unverified speculation, though I hope it's all true. [Title]

Output: If true, my guess would be a 2015 guy


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Body] Blackmon and Booker both have Kentucky offers. If Kentucky was really the first choice for both, one would jump on it. There may be some interplay between Blackmon, Booker, and Oubre, but my guess is it's much less simple than how Brian depicts it. After McGary, Irvin, Chatman, etc., the evidence shows that UM has a good shot at the prospects they're in on seriously no matter who else is there too. [Title]

Output: I don't see it that way for Booker/Blackmon


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] ...there's also been some revisionist history the other way. In his first game, Trey went 1-7 against Ferris State with 0 assists. He had 7 assists and 6 TOs in his first 3 games. Over the course of the year, his asst/TO ratio was 1.66 and he shot just under 35% from 3. He was bad against Ohio St. in the B1G tourney and pretty poor against Ohio in the NCAA tourney. If he'd left after 1 year, he might not have been drafted at all (and was certainly unlikely to be a 1st rounder). Don't get me wrong, he was great for a freshman his 1st year and well-above his ranking. But he improved greatly from how he came in, a testament to his hard work, the coaching staff, and his teammates. Walton might or might not be better at the same stage, but it's not a crazy statement. [Title]

Output: I get your point, but...


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] He's been pretty bullish overall and he is usually in the know. Until he goes negative, I'll continue to think we have a good shot. McGary's recruitment was a lot like Booker's. Some go your way, some don't. Booker's had a process in place for a long time and I wouldn't take too much from the fact he hasn't committed yet. [Title]

Output: Has Sam Webb said anything about Booker lately?


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] OSU won the B1G tourney this year. For the 2nd time in those 3 years (the other was a finals loss to MSU). Win total is affected by the B1G tourney too, for better and for worse. Overall, success is (perhaps unfairly) measured in large part by NCAA tourney success, so it might be underweighted by looking at win total (vs, say, the nonconference schedule). But the point is taken that overall wins is only one measurement. [Title]

Output: OSU won the B1G tourney this


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] True, although IU's been doing pretty well on the recruiting trail and has a higher profile than PU. If IU keeps pulling in recruits like Zeller, Ferrell, and Vonleh they'll win a lot of games. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] Quick quiz: who leads the B1G in overall hoops wins the past three years: Answer: OSU, by a country mile, with 94 (including a final four run, an elite 8 run, and a tip to the sweet sixteen). In second place we have our own UM with 76 (and a run to the finals). MSU is just behind us in 3rd with 75 (topping out with 2 Sweet 16 appearances), with Wiscy next at 74. Obviously strength of nonconference schedule has something to do with all of this, but OSU's case over the last 3 years is head and shoulders above anyone else's. OSU has also been doing pretty will on the recruiting trail - Rivals has them with 5 4-stars and 2 5-stars coming in in the 2013-15 classes. I understand why MSU gets props from the national media, but OSU has been the best B1G program over the last little while. Obviously UM has been doing pretty well the last little bit too and is trending upward. With IU on the rise, Illinois probably improving, MD coming in, MSU and Wiscy hard to discount, the B1G is really going to be tough the next few years. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Body] It is not true that Michigan "never, ever posts guys up" -- the coaches tried it with Horford and McGary at times. And they will certainly do it more this year. Look for Mitch in particular to get more opportunities with the ball in the high post and the low block. How large a part of the offense it becomes and whether it could emerge as a late-game go-to set are the questions. [Title]

Output: It is not true that Michigan


Input: [Date] 2 years 12 weeks ago [Body] Former walk-on Sai Tummala just committed to Arizona State as a scholarship player. Other guys like Eso and Josh turned down mid-majors or playing time at Ivy schools. It might not be quite as flashy as the improved top-end recruiting, but getting these guys is another example of JB and crew doing the work from top to bottom, of working on the top five recruit starter to the practice squad behind the scenes leader. [Title]

Output: Beilein's track record with preferred walk-ons is impressive

Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Body] The effort to downplay Nik's year is peculiar to me. In B1G play, Nik had the 12th best 3pt% in the entire conference, and was 3rd for freshmen (behind Harris and Dekker), not bad when "don't let Stauskas shoot a 3" was the 1st or second emphasis (don't let Burke into the lane being the other) of every defense. He currently stands 3rd in career 3pt% in Michigan history (behind Rice and Higgins) and his season was the 9th single best season in 3pt% in Michigan history (all the others occurred wh the line was shorter, by the way). He shot "just" 38% from 3 for the tournament. That seems pretty good. Trey shot 31% for comparison. It's also easy to play the "if you take" game. If you take out Nik's worst game of the tournament, he shot 45% from the field in the tourney. If you take Nik's two worst B1G games out, he shot 41% from 3. So, I guess it's true that Nik doesn't shoot as well as a freshman in B1G play when some of the best defenses in the country are keyed on stopping him from shooting the 3 as he does in the video, but he still shoots awfully well. And he does so in large part because of all the time practicing shooting, just like the video demonstrates. Some people appear to have been blinded by Nik's almost inhuman start to the year to the excellent year Nik had. [Title]

Output: The effort to downplay Nik's


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Body] I agree completely that students who show up late -- especially after the game starts -- shouldn't automatically get better seats than students who were there early. But this "slap in the face" thing, I mean, for some students Michigan football is a fun part of going to the school but they don't live and breathe it. I don't remember for sure, but I don't think students can even buy single game student section tickets. Some students want to go sometimes but not others, or for a half but not the whole game. It's frustrating for others that they have such good tickets and don't make use of them like devoted fans, but being jealous doesn't make anger a sensible or productive response. Part of being a student at UM is getting perks re: UM athletic games. The fact that worst seats in the student section are not always full is not intended as an insult to alumni (and others) who wish they could have those seats, it's just college kids making decisions. A few empty rows in one corner of the endzone isn't a crazy price to pay for being a college team. [Title]

Output: I agree completely that


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Body] ...and the fact that they bring in two of the biggest media markets does turn out to help the B1G financially, are we going to get one of those one sentence apologies and then be expected to pretend like all the rage and wrongness never happened -- you know, like the whole we should keep RR for a fourth year instead of hiring Hoke thing? Just want to be prepared. [Title]

Output: If Rutgers and MD do turn out to be good for business...


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Body] If it makes you feel better, I laugh at the umbrage toward current students. I happened to be one of the students, back in the day, who sometimes slept until 1 or 2 pm because I was socializing or playing music or reading or watching movies or running around the arb until 4 in the morning. Regardless, it doesn't seem like too much for current students to have less than 20% of the stadium's capacity, including some of the worst seats, and to have a some relatively small percent of those seats empty in the lesser important games of the season. And the RR years cannot have helped. Now, that does not mean the AD is wrong for going to GA and rewarding kids who come early or doing some other rewards program. But all the anger toward current students for not filling up their section to absolute capacity right at tipoff is goofy. [Title]

Output: If it makes you feel better,


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Body] We have guys that can play multiple positions, and they likely will (particularly the upperclassmen), in order to deal with match-ups and get our best guys on the floor. [Title]

Output: Good point


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Body] Beilein said he believe the team to done with attrition of any kind (and Blake has considered a graduated senior), so Blake probably will be the last one transfering. Unless you know more than Beilein does. [Title]

Output: Beilein said he believe the


Input: [Date] 18 hours 8 min ago [Title] Not as cool as Hayden Epstein [Body]

Output: Not as cool as Hayden Epstein winning the Jewish Heisman.


Input: [Date] 1 week 12 hours ago [Title] It mostly has to do with [Body]

Output: It mostly has to do with their stupid playoff system. It's not like Providence was any good last year; they weren't in the top 25% of college hockey at the end of the regular season. But it's a one-and-done format and about 75-80% of the games are decided by the team that scores first. The postseason has way more to do with who gets a few lucky bounces than how good a team is.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Stupid, stupid gimmick. If [Body]

Output: Stupid, stupid gimmick. If you're going to do an internatonal event, let each country bring their best players. Maybe the U23s don't compete for a medal, but it affects the two North American teams. If Canada doesn't win gold, all you're going to hear is "We only lost because we couldn't take Connor McDavid".


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] Minnesota hasn't had that [Body]

Output: Minnesota hasn't had that problem. Ohio State hasn't had that problem. But that's because they came up relatively fair deals to keep local rivals on the schedule. Michigan and Michigan State tried to dictate terms to local teams and it has blown up in their face.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 days ago [Title] 1. Deadwood(Really? Nobody [Body]

Output: 1. Deadwood(Really? Nobody else? You're doing it wrong...) 2. Mad Men 3. The Wire 4. Boardwalk Empire 5. My So-Called Life Breaking Bad and House are probably 4/5 on my list if I can ignore the end of their runs.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I think very few hate him for [Body]

Output: I think very few hate him for dancing before a kick-off. It's the fact that he was then tackled 20 yards later every return. If he was actually good, nobody would have cared. Hopefully he finds a way to graduate and transfer somewhere else. Seems like a nice, fun kid, but not someone that should be playing regularly for a good D-1 football program.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 12 hours ago [Title] Maybe they watched him try to [Body]

Output: Maybe they watched him try to throw the ball?

Output: I'll allow it because you didn't mention him in the first post.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 1 day ago [Title] The academic problem with the [Body]

Output: The academic problem with the graduate transfers, as I've understood it, is the number of guys enrolling in two+-year program and then bolting after their one year of eligibility is gone.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It's incorrect in AP Style, [Body]

Output: It's incorrect in AP Style, but otherwise the two are interchangeable.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Title] The Big Ten has nothing to do [Body]

Output: The Big Ten has nothing to do with their non-conference scheduling. In fact, it should have been easier to put together a decent non-conference schedule since there are plenty of teams within a bus drive they could play. But Michigan had to be greedy and try to bend those programs over a barrel. Now they're stuck Grouponing tickets to games no one cares about against American International and Robert Morris.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Title] A lot of coaches(especially [Body]

Output: A lot of coaches(especially around the state) will be having a good chuckle when they see Michigan's home schedule. Michigan is definitely reaping what they've sown in that regard. Good luck making the NCAAs when the entire first half of your season is playing Atlantic Hockey and the entire second half is playing Atlantic Hockey West. There was talk at one point of Michigan being on Arizona State's schedule for this season, but I guess they couldn't get it done. I think the arena situation for ASU was a problem. Honestly, it wouldn't be a huge surprise if Michigan was going there for a conference series in two years.

Output: Remember that time about five years Dean Lombardi said Michigan has no clue how to coach defensemen and we all laughed because Michigan had so much success and the Kings were terrible? Kind of interesting to look back at that now.

Output: I guess if you say something on TV enough times it becomes true.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Raft did get to call the [Body]

Output: Raft did get to call the Final Four on the radio last year(and presumably previous years). I actually got into my car and drove around a little to listen to him call the game rather than sit at home and listen to Steve Kerr.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I just don't think Nebraska [Body]

Output: I just don't think Nebraska happens any time in the foreseeable future. Trev Alberts cut UNO's football and wrestling programs--for no real good reason--to help revitalize the walk-on programs at UNL. In return, UNO, got to be the "hockey school" in the state, complete with their own brand new on-campus arena which opens next year. Maybe the situation changes some day, but it will be a while.

Output: I have to say I was impressed with Rutgers' dedication to protecting their KemPom ranking.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I don't know if you missed it [Body]

Output: I don't know if you missed it or it wasn't worthy, but I was kind of hoping to see Dawkins' almost-put back slam dunk in the first half. If he had made that, it would have been the top play for the game, and maybe the season.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 3 days ago [Title] CSU-Pueblo did win the D-II [Body]

Output: CSU-Pueblo did win the D-II national title last season. Not that that makes it much better.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 4 days ago [Title] It doesn't escalate. It's [Body]

Output: It doesn't escalate. It's just another one-game suspension if Downing picks up another game misconduct.

Output: Dave Brandon had nothing to do with Mel leaving for the UP.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I think Michigan went the [Body]

Output: I think Michigan went the first eight and a half minutes without a shot on goal in the second period. Also, Doug MacLeod referenced Ufer because there's nothing in his reference back after the year 1980.

Output: Wisconsin


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 6 days ago [Title] They moved the needle, but in [Body]

Output: They moved the needle, but in the wrong direction. There was really no reason they should have been playing at a school like Michigan State except for their last name. A good example of how that program absolutey rotted from within under Rick Comley. Anastos probably will get fired this year or next, but he hasn't been terrible. He took over a team with terrible talent and had no resources to improve things. Michigan State is going to be bad as long as the school is more concerned about multi-million dollar upgrades to their basketball facilities every decade than anything concerning the hockey program. It's too bad for Michigan too. The Big 10 is basically Atlantic Hockey with much better marketing this year because three of the six programs in the conference could not care less about hockey. It's hard to take Zach Hyman seriously as a Hobey candidate when he's only scored three points all season against teams currently inside the NCAA tournament bubble and he won't play another decent team until the NCAA tournament.

Output: He may be a bit crazy but you can't say he isn't entertaining.


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Title] I love lineman [Body]

Output: But Diggs and Wright look amazing on film. Either of them could make an impact next year in my opinion. Although our most important recruit for next year could be Stonum keeping himself out of trouble.


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] agreed [Body]

Output: This one was an obvious call. I feel like the Watson hit was a good call, I can't be a total homer. Denard was 2 yards into the end zone with no one around him when Watson went for the crack-back. Also I thought Gallon may have got away with a hold on Denard's 41 yard touchdown run. Not saying Michigan didn't get screwed on some calls (especially by the replay official,) but a couple bad calls may have helped Michigan out too.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] I wouldn't say usually [Body]

Output: Depends on scheme and playcall. But having 2 cover corners gives you the freedom to call plays you would hesitate calling with one cover corner.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] cover corners [Body]

Output: You can never have enough cover corners. I can appreciate a good safety but I'll take cover corners over boundary corners any day.

Output: I hope you are trying to make a point and don't really see those two things as the same. Anyone who has had more than 1 beer and driven on multiple occasions has more than likely driven above the legal limit at one time. They just were lucky enough not to get caught. I'm not saying drinking and driving is OK. I just think people who haven't taken a breathelizer don't realize how little .08 is.

Output: Godin is my guess.


Input: [Date] 4 years 18 weeks ago [Title] 2010: most terrifying? [Body]

Output: How could this year be more terrifying than 2008? Changing RR's offense for SDSU's offense is far easier than changing a pro style to a read option attack.

The school bus sized truck I had to use for my route wouldn't go over 55mph and my area was 20minutes away from the bldg so I had to take the freeway.

Would we forever remember Denard as #16 if he had been wearing 98 the last two seasons? I'd prefer they left them alone or just left them as normal numbered jerseys. I don't see a reason why we can't have 98 as a lineman. We know the history we don't need a reminder. [Title]

Anything in the sedan range is garbage though. Only American sedan I've liked in the last 10 or more years would be maybe a Chevy Cruze. I think cars across the board are at a really low spot for styling and drivability. Designs and functions of these new cars don't interest me in the least. [Title]

Output: I would really find it

Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Body] Took a flight on a B-17 at an airshow around here years ago. Drained my bank account at the time but was totally worth it. I disappeared from my family for a while and came back and told them to hold my stuff I'd be back in 45 minutes. I think it was the Yankee Lady also! I was maybe 19 at the time. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Deadpool probably won't do well in theaters because of it's edginess but I expect it will be a huge cult classic. Not a fan of SS at all or of this BvS disaster. I grew up loving Superman and that last movie left me disgusted. Not interested at all in anything further. But the Deadpool movie has me giddy.

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Upper 70s several times. Think closes to par I ever was was 3 over. I play normal league rules here. Fluff ball within 6 inches. Gimmes are from other people. No mulligans though typically. This year has been very bad for me and golf I've only gotten out 3 times. Past 6-7 years I've golfed 2-3 times a week so my game is hurting. I do rock the full Michigan bag on all the northeast Ohio courses here though. [Title]

Output: Upper 70s several times.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] PSUs stadium is in the middle of nowhere though isn't it? Michigan's is a quarter mile in all directions of a lot of neighborhoods. That's the biggest problem with having a MSU night game is what happens outside of the stadium. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I grew up going to Akron U games and loved it. Saw some good football and had a good time. I was looking forward to taking my kids when I had them. Then they go and build this stupid stadium near the campus where there is absolutely no parking. Ticket prices went from 6$ and a Giant Eagle card to at the minimum 15$ +10$-20$ for parking. I can see it now in the board room when they dreamt up this stadium idea they thought that since they have the stadium of a big time college they can start charging ticket prices similar. My mother works for them and for the last few years they've spent over 2000$ a year on season tickets. They literally sit on the 50 yard line in the club level. When it started there was a buffet and you got two free drinks. As the years ticked by they started taking more and more perks away and they finally got fed up with it and told them to stick it this coming year. It's a terribly run facility and athletic department. The only thing they've ever had is the soccer team and basketball has been semi decent. Its a shame that the minor league baseball team less than 3 minutes away can sell out a 10,000 seat baseball field and they can't ever get more than 5,000 at a football game. [Title]

Output: I grew up going to Akron U

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Body] So if he transfers, because they won't let him play at Michigan most likely due to some medical input from team drs, what does that say about a team that's going to accept him and let him play? How does he expect to transfer if medical personnel are telling him to pack it up? Are there any repercussions if he were to get injured on another team when they knew he had issues coming in? Seems strange. If a school like Michigan is telling a kid he should stop playing I'd have a hard time accepting him on my team with a clear conscience. [Title]

Output: So if he transfers, because


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Forget what movie it was but there was a guy and girl sitting a few rows in front of us and the guy had a back scratcher with him. He sat through the entire movie scratching his back, his arms, his legs, everywhere. I was beyond disgusted by the end of the movie and told the manager they may want to burn the chair he was sitting in. Throughout the movie I couldn't stop staring at him. Still gives me the creeps. Also one time we went to see one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and it was subtitled. Didn't know beforehand and we were already there. Basically I missed the whole movie because my brain made me read every word on the screen. [Title]

Output: Forget what movie it was but
