Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Body] of course no baby is born thinking jews have all the money (David Cross bit). The human brain likes to take shortcuts. We try, without ability to help it, to predict an outcome from previous experience, learned behavior, taught behaviour (!) & others. Taught behaviour is what breeds that outright vitriolic racism we all think of when we think of racist behavior/beliefs. Most of them were babies brought up to think jews have all the money, etc. If I gave you a stat that 80% of the prison population are 25 year old Puerto Rican males, what does that say about the next 25 year old male Puerto Rican you meet? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. However, our brains are wired in a way that groups things together to speed up decision making. For instance: I may notice from birth that most red colored foods I eat taste good. So, I'd be perfectly fine (and likely) to be willing to try any new item that was colored red. That doesn't mean EVERYTHING colored red is either delicious or even edible. You understand? Unless you're an X-Men mutant, this is how your brain operates. It's the same with breathing oxygen - you're human therefore it's fact. The only thing we can do and what most logical people do is consciously give every single person a clean slate. I'm sure you both do this. I like to think I do, too. Yet, the desire of the brain to group things together and form future conclusions on previously gathered info is innate - period. I may not like the idea of cancer but it doesn't shield me from it. The lack of diagnosing what creates racism (lack of thought & effort to defeat that way of thinking on a daily basis) is exactly why we'll never be rid of it. Racism can't be wished away or defeated by anything but recognizing where it comes from. I stand by what I said (and almost every neurologist, psychologist, etc she's on) in that we are all racist. The level at which you are is the only difference and nobody is a "zero". The sooner we see this the sooner actual progress can be made instead of merely hiding it in public. I don't hate anyone but I'm not everywhere all the time. Could I ever be in a situation where my will and logic lost to my fear, preconception and human nature? I'm not everywhere all the time so I don't know? I'd like to think not. I think I do a great job of giving everyone I meet a clean slate. Yet, the "I don't see color" joke that Colbert's joke persona was known for was a joke BECAUSE it's B.S. The fact that the first thing we notice is race goes deep into our subconscious brain function. I think that isn't racist in itself but what you do with that information, how you behave with that immediate information. Unless you're not human you can't escape it. You're racist. Yet, that doesn't inherently make you a hateful person! We can choose not to treat someone in a poor manner based on old data but regardless of when you started it required effort. Not liking something doesn't keep you away from it. I'm on my phone so I don't know how else to say it with such limited time/vocabulary. We just won gold, btw! Good thing Japanese can't see color....../perfect timing to make some dumb joke lol [Title]

Output: (on app)I think you're both confusing my point


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Body] they hit a wall either physically or mentally and they either adapt or are a shell of their former selves for the rest of their career. I was hoping there was a way we could move him to retain Max, tbh. His best days are a couple years behind him, IMO. [Title]

Output: Pitchers are just like that


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Body] but if you're human you're racist. Deal with it (literally). It's the best and only thing anyone can do. [Title]

Output: Normally I do, too


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] that's the sad thing: it's an innate human function. We hate what we can't predict so we use past experience and mostly learned behavior to help us predict what the next black, white, etc person will be like. Group people up and logic, empathy goes out the window. There is no fix for it outside of thinking logically on a daily basis & using basic human decency. I actually hate when I hear someone say they aren't racist. Yes, yes you are. You're just maybe less racist than the next guy. PS: your name puts me in tears every time lol. I think I've told you this before but I can't help it. [Title]

Output: oh, I know


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] racism isn't exclusive to any one place but Mississippi is the undisputed heavyweight champ in America. They JUST ratified the anti-slavery amendment a few years ago, after the movie "Lincoln" was released lol. Lincoln....the movie was out before they decided to take that one on. That's the thing I don't get as racism is everywhere but Mississippi flaunts it. Runnin' Rebels, Got damn! [Title]

Output: true


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] is that his friend and ex-UM verbal (Stanifer...Standiford....?) wound up at Ole Miss. Yet, he was all UM for a while. He even used to pay his way here and stay with Morris at his home. They were really tight, AFAIK. They'd room up at camps, etc. I can only imagine what they have him to pull such a 180. No offense to him but "moneyontablesleepingnexttoskank.jpg" [Title]

Output: The only defense against "they bought him"


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] they just had a full blown race riot in the exact spot of the "original" that killed people in our parents lifetime. It was only a couple years ago they did it again. Why any minority would play under a mascot that embodies slavery, systemic gentrification & racism is insane to me. The name "Ole Miss" is borderline racist, ffs lol [Title]

Output: I've written entire essays about this


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] he dethroned? I'd say he'd go in first but it's competitive eating so I don't really care lol [Title]

Output: Not the Japanese guy


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] is only better than losing a bukakke tournament in "most humiliating, gut wrenching, I need to take a long look at my life" silver medals lol. Imagine eating 60 dogs & buns only to lose. Sweating out hotdog juice for a week and you lost. Purge or not.....ughhh.... [Title]

Output: as far as 2nd place, losing this


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] that Pewdiepie dude is estimated to be worth around $25 Million. Those people that livestream games and then post to YouTube make money but most if them are just attractive gamer girls that neckbeards fawn over. One is this blonde that knows market and assets - she pushes her breasts into a cleavage unknown to most and talks nerd stuff. One day a week (I think it's Monday) she only opens stuff fans have sent her and it's crazy! They send her tiny tanks that she always changes into (she basically puts on anything sent to her), toys, games, candy, food, clothes, etc. She reads their hand written letters and they all try to be suave but she's smart enough to play along by acting like everything/everyone is a love of her life. The kicker is that she films all this in a bedroom where she lives with her bf. They all know she loves this guy, he's sometimes on camera but tits and nerdy stuff = drooling fans. She has over a million subs, IIRC. She has to make bank for doing nothing and that's not counting all the gifts (some worth hundreds of dollars). [Title]

Output: No kidding


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I'd blame booze but it was a legit brainfart [Title]

Output: Freeze


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] better watch out! We all know they pulled in the top class a few years ago because Ole Miss was only sorta dogshit, teenagers want to live in Mississippi big-time and Hugh Freese was taught "protective instincts" for an OL by Sanda Bullock one day during practice. Occam's Razor, guys...... [Title]

Output: Southern Miss


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 12 hours ago [Body] I'm still unsure about competition level but I finally watched some video of his play beyond a couple minute highlight film and he's just a good sized kid. I didn't even read the hello post on the front as I've made it a point to try to distance myself from recruiting compared to how I was from '01-13. It seems the consensus is what I'd hoped and he's just that thick & a Junior Hemmingway type WR. I'll take it! ha [Title]

Output: Ok, yeah. Hrs just that big lol


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 13 hours ago [Body] My main concern with his video is competition. He could just be that big/stout of a kid at WR/DB but he looks so much bigger than everyone else. That always concerns me when I see a kid dominating at HB/WR against defenses where the DL is smaller than they are, etc. It may seem counterintuitive but I like to see skill position guys do work against other kids their general size. If two kids are 6-1 175+ and one of them is taking the other to school play after play you know it's talent. That kid's just blessed with more speed, quickness, strength, football IQ, etc. It's really the same for any position but the skill positions really concern me regarding that (I'd add OL/DL as well). QB, LB, true DBs & specialists can be scouted no matter who they play against, IMO. Hawkins' film didn't pop out at me but he could be that thick, sure handed Hemmingway type of WR as I'm not familiar with the league he plays in. [Title]

Output: Joking or not I've always been a bit lower on him than most


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 13 hours ago [Body] exactly how good is he and if absolutely honest would this staff want him? I'm not saying we wouldn't as I'm asking a genuine question. I can say I haven't seen any film on him and I'm not sure why given that he's been on board so long. I just haven't looked at him and I've heard he doesn't talk to the new staff often so that could be their way of saying they'd rather have the spot open. [Title]

Output: The thing I've always wondered with him is


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 13 hours ago [Body] the Minnesota defense has had some players under Kill and solid DBs with a couple this year. I've heard they could have as many as 5 All-B1G guys on defense alone. Maybe not all 1st team but still. [Title]

Output: Yeah


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 1 day ago [Body] who would wear that? Even the "trying so hard we almost made a single decent one" retro hats. Atrocious merch has always been my issue with Adidas. If they make decent uniforms I don't care but I'd like to have some UM gear that isn't ULTRA Eastern Euro-trash looking as my Nike stuff is worn out (but still better than anything they've made). Look at that crap lol. [Title]

Output: look at that apparel!


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 1 day ago [Body] go to my 5 day long family reunion on property we own in a tiny town about 15-20 mins outside Mt. Pleasant. Grandparents have a home up there they start in it while all else have mobile homes, campers & tents. We party all day and night only to top it off with a wild canoe trip & the county fireworks that are held on our property. We sit right underneath them. I've always loved it but a lot of family moves away as we get older and some stop going most years. We also instituted a "0-2" friend policy so it's no longer the 150+ person hippie community/carnival it was up until about 2003. This year is really slim as far as who's going and I'm afraid it might not last much longer. More than anything I'm genuinely upset I went get to see my Grandparents. Hopefully they come down for a day or so for something but if not I hope I can find a chance to see them given the distance. So, for the first time since 2011 (IIRC) I don't know what I'll do. Probably get hammered by myself? I'm actually genuinely sad right now as it officially "starts" today. It's family so there isn't a set time but there tends to be an unspoken arrival/exit date based on when the 4th is. This year it's today through the 5th-6th. I'm really really sad right now so I'll shut up. [Title]

Output: I usually


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Body] this was great. I noticed it earlier today and lost it as he took a giant dump on my hometown. [Title]

Output: as a Monrovian


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I'm going to use a national medium to bash Michigan FOR YEARS (even troll fans during coach searches), I'll plagiarize a Michigan blog WORD FOR WORD on air and not only never give them credit but declare that I now refuse to because the blog and it's readers e-mailed me about it. Then, I'll go on and on about how a really big football coach and UM alum will never go back there because it's a shit hole. Finally, after all that, I'll try to interview said newly hired UM HC, not even day hello to him, not eat even a little bit of crow for deprecation sake & immediately lob asinine questions at him. Yeah. That will go well. OH, BTW, I just talked about how bad they'll be the day before the interview. OH, and said HC is a guy that has a level of "IDGAF" that would make any cast member of the Jersey Shore beg to know his secrets for such confidence. It'll go over swell. [Title]

Output: I know!


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] site I trust because they have some form of verification of authenticity. I can only say to avoid craigslist at all cost wrt tickets. Just don't do it. I actually trust stubhub more than face to face scalpers now as in the speed of the transaction it's often very hard to spot a good fake. If I can't get a ticket from the source it's stubhub or I don't go. [Title]

Output: Stubhub is the only


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] except for last year I'm not sure any school in America ends up in a recruits top-5 more than Michigan. Even kids you know we have zero shot at tend to put us ash least in their top-10 so that's nothing new in itself. It's so common that I hardly trust when we're in a top-3 lol [Title]

Output: True but...


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] not only does past evidence suggest it's the way he recruits but you have kids who will ebb and flow with the season along with more exposure. I have no evidence but I think guys like the type that caused certain SEC boards to meltdown will get more exposure and likely want to stay South. I hear Bama is already reaching out. I think at least one if the Indiana kids but named Peters goes elsewhere, too. I expect the final class to look little like it does right now. We'll see if it's for better or worse. [Title]

Output: I feel this, too


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] and count the days until I would buy UM apparel again. I still rock an old Nike hat, ffs. Adidas just never did it for me outside of a few things. I think a big mistake was going with that generic 3 bars logo over the liked and famous 3 leaves logo. That's just the logo but the look, feel and build of their stuff just feels really generic with the thick fabrics on tees, etc. In a blind test I can easily tell the difference between Nike & Adidas gear by putting it on. [Title]

Output: I'd like it


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Gardner behind an average OL with an above average staff would have been scary good. I never thought he'd be an NFL QB but he'd have been a great college QB if circumstances were different, IMO. [Title]

Output: Yeah


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] other than the "best HB/TB on the roster" part. I absolutely think he plays that position. In fact, I'd put money on Kerridge getting solid time at HB this year if none of the listed guys jump out to steal the job. Both would have thrived behind the OLs he had at Stanford. [Title]

Output: I agree with you


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Body] earthquake simulator tho [Title]

Output: dat


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 18 hours ago [Body] even if he's being pushed out ITS WHAT WE WANTED/HIRED. What does damn near every winning CFB team do these days? The one thing they have in common? If a guy is either truly too injured to play, hurts the locker room or is just not good enough to play for a particular coach/system they get rid of them - period. Do we want to win or pretend we can be "Teddy Bear Hoke Club" members and win at the level Michigan should win at in modern day CFB? It's how the game is played & sometimes it's genuinely fit the good of the player and other times for the good of a program. Pipkins says he can play. The doctors and coaches say he can't. Time will literally tell if this is a sleazy bootjob or genuine concern for Pipkins. Either way, it's happening now. Nobody cares what a coach does wrt this stuff if they win. That's sad and equally the point. [Title]

Output: Guys


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 18 hours ago [Body] it's not too much but I notice it big-time on their scroll whenever a recruit verbals or player transfers. Watch when it says "recruit" or it's a UM player transferring in an "NCAAF/B". They always downplay it or add unnecessary wording to transfer news. With Battle, half the scroll about it was emphasizing how little time he'd been committed to UM. When Countess left they used a bunch of unnecessary stuff about how many had left since Harbaugh was hired, his accolades, etc. They made it sound like a bad breakup. I don't see all the extra B.S. with other school's circumstances unless it's truly scandalous. [Title]

Output: Its kinda sorta not though


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] without sharing a recruit's twitter stuffz? [Title]

Output: any way to get that video


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Welcome! A great OL can make an average supporting cast good, good cast great. [Title]

Output: Nice add


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I think it's the only way to truly compete in CFB these days. I'm done complaining about it when one conference specializes in it, the NCAA does nothing about it but both get up in arms over camps. Camps will likely be cut back heavily or simply banned. I loathe to say this but I think you have to do it to genuinely win so it's time we start. I'd care more but the media never mentions it when slobbing on the SEC and teams like osu. They never mention it b/c if you win you win to them, no matter how it's done. If CFB is getting even more ruthless, we've seen what trying to be gentlemen has done in the modern age of CFB so I say so it. Sign as many as we can and assume there will be natural attrition, don't give 5th years to RS JR players that won't impact much, find a reason to cut kids that hurt the team/locker room, etc. If like to keep it as much on the up as possible and never go the Saban/Meyer route but I fear it's the new model of running winning. /I may regret this opinion soon as I have slept about 5 hours in the last 3 days. I hope I do! [Title]

Output: Sadly


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Body] and it's a rare feeling but one that's NEVER been wrong. With most recruits I have an indifferent feel or vibe about landing them that genuinely slides slightly to the "word on the street". Basically, if they're likely to UM I say "should happen but never know" and if listed but unlikely I say "doubt it but never know". The feeling I have with Gary is that feeling I've had with past recruits that seemed to make all the sense in the world to go to UM but didn't. It started with RoJo. I just knew even when he was all but signed and I was skewered on Scout (no longer use it as of '10) whenever I'd politely say I had this feeling we wouldn't get him. Then, each year since there is a guy like that. From King to Hand to McDowell to guys I've forgotten about off the top of my head, it's never wrong. Gary isn't seen as some heavy lean but even with his ex-HS HC here and a staff that rivals most NFL staffs I just have that feeling we don't get Gary. As with all before I hope I'm wrong SO badly! I really hope I'm wrong. I just never am with this feeling. With other guys I've been wrong plenty but not when I get this particular feeling. I don't know where he'll go if not here but I think it'll be osu or Bama. I really hope I'm wrong, ha! [Title]

Output: I have this feeling about Gary


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Body] They are just bonkers and that gave that sweet earthquake simulator to top it off. I'd "/s" that but their waterfall player pools and stuff look like something an Arab Sheikh would have in his palace. Also, they've kinda been winning a lot lately so I get it. It sucks but I get it. I expected him and not a stud OL but I'll take it. Better to go 1-1 than 0-2. The sting is just a bit more due to him apparently having been a silent. [Title]

Output: Have you guys seen Bama's facilities?


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Body] genuine lol there. thanks. They are just awful..... [Title]

Output: LOL


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Body] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfB_K4RGtDo&app=desktop [Title]

Output: Nobody has survived this entire video.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Body] but they're just awful. They've always been awful and they made this hilariously terrible video recently that doubled down on how bad they are. Man, are they terrible. [Title]

Output: I'm kind of beyond the stage of bashing things I don't like


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Body] My extended family (it's huge but was still big back then) had a family picture taken. Every child & their family of my Grandparents wore a different color of turtleneck sweater. My immediate family had dark navy blue (nice) but it's still visits to look at how 90s it was. ANYWAY, it was the day of that Iowa game I had to listen by car radio at the location. Going back and forth, being yelled at to get in position, etc. In the actual picture I'm about 14 and I'm visibly PISSED OFF to an hilarious degree. We were not only losing but the radio made the first half sound like a beating. I'm not quite sure if that was the Tavian Banks year but Iowa gave us a huge scare that year. Every family member has that photo in their home and I laugh at it whenever I see it to this day. When others comment about my face I just say "Iowa.....we were getting beat by Iowa". [Title]

Output: CSB:


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Body] they won't do it and I know they'd like it, ha [Title]

Output: Ya know?!


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Body] was absolutely great! As hard as I try to get people to watch it that I know would like it, nobody will. Such a great show. That said, I haven't seen any of Season 2. IMHO, they could have never made another season and it would have gone down as one of HBO's best creations. [Title]

Output: Season 1


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] a grand a game. It definitely can't be a full time thing. That's about the year salary of low end pro wrestlers like Mickey Rourke. /s? [Title]

Output: Yeah I'd guessed about


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] but I'm talking about those that see any TV time. Those that the average football fan could name, etc. A buddy actually played in a SUPER low end but pay league years ago in SE MI. By "Pro" I mean those that we even see or read about.....ever. [Title]

Output: Yeah


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] and I'm beyond ok with that if Morris can't get it going. So so so very ok with that, ha. [Title]

Output: Absolutely.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I'm too lazy to proofread and Swype autocorrect is pathetic. Yet, it's so fast that I can't be bothered to type anymore. I quit ha. [Title]

Output: I'm so sorry, guys. I quit.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] so I'm glad you made this. I had to record a hand about a month ago because it was so white trash hilarious. Arizona v San Jose (or some San Jose like city lol). Anyway, some fans had entire sofas & giant KFC buckets! One woman on air was disgusting, had 3 ratty kids who were clearly picking a fight and she just sat there with get bucket watching. Then she has her mouth full of food and yells at them and the food congress flying out. She was Momma Grape sized and all greasy. I felt so bad. The arena clearly blacked out the upper bowls to keep it from looking like there were only a few thousand people there but those there were hardcore. Even the game is just sad as the players know they're at the bottom of the pro food chain. Same game had teammates clearly mouthing off to each other with zero respect between them and their coaches. So trashy I had to hit "record" lol. [Title]

Output: I've kinda wanted to talk arena for a while


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] the way he hunted down and kicked the nuts off his enemies was insane. [Title]

Output: Good Will Hunting


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] play autocorrected to osu. At least I never write it in capital letters and it realizes that lol. [Title]

Output: phone edit


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] we absolutely need a running game. No QB on this roster will succeed if we can't get at least 3 a carry. The last few years have been disgusting to watch. I'm not sure I've ever seen an OL with 2 NFL tackles & a 5 star HS AA in his 2nd year on campus osu with such futility. Last year was no better. We need a run game or nothing will change. [Title]

Output: Yeah


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] where is never seen him throw a ball until the other night on BTN. I could only listen to the game in '13 and even after reading the about him here I just never looked at him. It's odd considering he likely came in to be our guy. Anyway, I have to say that he's better than anything we had coming back (based on last year & Spring) but he doesn't make me think of a game changing type guy. If Wilson is the 10/10 scale bar for 5th year transfers, Rudock seems like a 6ish. Again, love to have him if Morris just can't put it together (!) but he's much more of a manager than guy that can will you to victory. jmho [Title]

Output: In an odd situation personally


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Body] in fact, Hoke did this more then a few times. Meyer has a history of it as well. I would think this is far more common than reported or made a big deal of. [Title]

Output: I can't to say the same thing


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Body] is fine, IMO. I listen to some stuff to help sleep that is on YouTube and watching kinda defeats that purpose. Ripping a studio album to MP3 and sharing it, giving it away or downloading it is theft - period. However, I think it needs to be looked at in a different way than that. I still buy those who's music I like BUT I still download music. Most of the time I'll get the leak and all buy. Here's the thing though: I've found music I buy & concerts I pay to attend BECAUSE of downloading free music at one point. There are bands odd never have had a chance to listen to or find to like if not for "piracy". In fact, many artists understand this now and leak their own albums, don't care if it does leak and/or simply ask you to share with others. Musicians no longer need major labels because of the internet so it's now a tool for all but the most greed filled acts on the planet. The money never really was and isn't in album sales anymore but $.99 songs and, more than anything, live shows. Most smart acts welcome or at least are indifferent to "illegal mp3 downloads". It's more beneficial than harmful now that actual hard album sales are seen as a bonus. Your friend is fine, especially with YouTube as they're more hardcore about copyright than any site I can think of lol. [Title]

Output: Converting basic YouTube videos to mp3


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 13 hours ago [Body] because the candor and humor in those articles had a sudden drop when he moved to Antarctica. It was so him & the genius was that he wasn't very public about anything so he thought he could slip by. [Title]

Output: I still love the (probably) Tiller jokes


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 1 day ago [Body] and I don't see why the golf world still treats him like a major player. He's not the Tiger he once was and never will be again. I don't know if it's mental due to the bashed ego of getting caught banging porno trash, getting hit in the head with a club by his wife or his painkiller addiction that is apparently no longer an issue (that's great) but maybe he could play better in less pain or high? I don't know but it's telling exactly when he stopped being "Tiger F'n Woods" and who he is now. The most pathetic thing, IMO, is that he's still a HUGE a-hole. Still as arrogant as he was when the greatest golfer ever. He'll never be that guy again, IMO. Why? I think a bit of all the above. [Title]

Output: No


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 1 day ago [Body] how many polls have to prove that players (recruits) prefer Nike and that it's not even close? Recruits/players prefer Nike across America wrt football gear & apparel. It's not "going with our rivals" as we had them before. It's just going back to a company that makes (horribly wrt how they ALL make them) better American football everything. As far as jerseyz, it's up to the school! I don't see how people don't understand this. If you prefer Adidas, cool. No offense. Yet, to wonder why everyone wants Nike is blindingly clear. Oddly, im hearing that UA is more likely but that's nothing I can back up outside of "sources" so grain of salt. I'd still take them over Adidas. [Title]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Body] there are as many guys on that top list that busted, flamed out or didn't really live up to expectations (one solid year, etc) as there are guys on the bottom that became solid players. From Harris to Omameh to Englemon to Biggs to Riley & some guys we aren't sure of yet. This along with the recruit rankings of the starters the last few Super Bowl games kind of proves that stars do indicate a higher potential of being a great CFB player BUT for every one guy that busts there are a few dozen that they completely underestimated. I've said it a million times but no sport is as reliant on success via great coaching as CFB. A great coach in CFB can make an average team great. [Title]

Output: My honest opinion


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Eggs are the only food that is both nutritious AND mathematically impossible! Fact: If the Empire State Building were made entirely out of buttons it would be the world's tallest building made entirely out of buttons! Fact: Finkel is Einhorn & Einhorn is Finkel! [Title]

Output: My thoughts


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] they don't give a half rat's crap most of the year lol. You ever see their practices? You think a coach runs them? ha. Think LeBron's really getting told what to do, etc? Some people lay brick or dig ditches their entire lives. I don't feel a bit of anything resembling pity for the guy and I don't dislike him. This story can climb back up it's own a**hole real quick. Feel sorry for an NBA superstar.....gtfo....lol [Title]

Output: So much this


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 hours ago [Body] it wasn't awkward. He was straight, honest and open with the legit questions. He tolerated the questions he legally can't/won't answer right now with a patience I don't think I have. I love his "this is so dumb I can't believe it" look. [Title]

Output: This

Output: that's just for daddy


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] Do you like gambling? Well, you will now with Fantasy Football Bux! /one week later I'm giving old fashions in an alley for a few change so I can "buy" Andrew Luck. I absolutely do not go from a geek with holes in his underwear to a guy with models in them. //I keed [Title]

Output: Hey kids


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] just remind me how tough our schedule is. We could easily start 4-0 or 1-3. We gotta get that win in Utah but it'll be tough. [Title]

Output: These schedule times


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] so a relationship between a Jimbo & Candi didn't work out? In Florida?! No! [Title]

Output: Wait


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] not a joke or caption. Look at that thing. 1993 Eastern Europe "totally gets" American College Football. They like. They so like and is excited for the American football sport. Go Redsox. [Title]

Output: That background


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I forgot all are in now. I'd keep Gentry & Rudock. Don't know enough about O'Korn to say. Anyone else I'd swap for Park in a second. That's just me. [Title]

Output: Let me edit that


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 1 day ago [Body] and maybe that's not ego in referring to? ha. I want everyone to stay. I'd just peg him as first in line to transfer out if anyone were to do so. I have ZERO basis for this, btw. I hope he stays. Yet, should he (or anyone already here) go, I'd trade them for Park. JMHO. [Title]

Output: I don't want anyone to go


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 1 day ago [Body] but was a good CFB QB because of that & the lower level allowed him to make a few great plays. Luck is/was the best QB prospect since Manning. As you said, he makes others around him better. He can win a game on ability alone and at Stanford it was unfair at times how much better he was than the opponent even in a grinding offense. If they'd have put him in 4-5 wide all day he'd have won a couple Heismans. Cousins was never that QB. [Title]

Output: Cousins is a manager


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 1 day ago [Body] but I think he'll be just fine at msu. I've been at the point that Harbaugh hopefully drilled into the fanbase for a long time in that msu owns football in the State of Michigan right now. They've earned it! Yes, it took a ton of circumstantial luck and time (and, IMO, steroids) to build that program but they have. It's no fluke as they develop players as well as any staff in the country. I'm being shocked at just how well they've developed QBs! They rarely miss on a very good college QB and when they have (Maxwell) they just trot out a future 1st-2nd rounder that was his backup lol. It's impressive. I don't have to like msu but I don't have to be a homer UM fan and act like they fell ass backwards into success. I'm sure Messiah will be a QB we don't want to face when it's his time. I hope the same is true for Peters, Gentry, etc. [Title]

Output: Want a huge fan of DeWeaver


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 1 day ago [Body] good and bad. Aaron was like a real poor man's Stafford. He could be great but also made some insanely bad decisions while looking indifferent at times. [Title]

Output: That would be


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 1 day ago [Body] but he is usually pretty good at HS QB evaluation. He tends to find guys to pick on or elevate based on....?....but he is usually on target. I remember him being enamored with Winston from a play and leadership standpoint. Sure, he was a top QB recruit but he was saying back then what NFL scouts were saying during the draft evaluations. I could name a few more he really nailed and they weren't top recruits at the time. With Morris he basically challenged the hype around him and he was right. He said he loved him arm but often spoke about how he needs to have another pitch other than fastball. He didn't think he had a very high QB IQ, etc. He has time to prove him wrong but he's been accurate so far. Finally, I could name just as many that he was dead wrong about in both directions so I listen to his opinion but I understand that Dilfer loves himself to the point of extreme hyperbole. [Title]

Output: Dilfer lives him some Dilfer


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 1 day ago [Body] this kid is a very talented QB and despite my recent lowering of opinion toward Richt I know he was coached well in that RS year. I'd happily let him in the mix, essentially have another RS year with Harbaugh coaching him and let the best man win. IMO (and this will sound awful), we need to stop being so loyal to guys from a football aspect. Do we want to win or be nice? We can't truly have both at the levels that we want both. It's a scale as you want one more and the other falls. I won't name names but I want certain QBs to stay even though I HIGHLY doubt they ever start here. My top pick to transfer from here eventually is not even in the same league as Park is. I'd trade them today. I'd have no issue with another QB if it's a guy of his caliber. You need a QB to win (obvs) so I want a line of guys fighting and waiting in the wings as UM should never have a lack of QB options. I want guys that want to compete, wait their turn if they have to and have continuity at the position. I just think we already have some guys that might want out of the already crowded competition. If the staff already senses that, go get guys that want to battle. That said, this kid could be leaving UGA to avoid competition so......ha. [Title]

Output: I would love it


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I expected a beating and we beat the about out of them. Without those insane Hart fumbles and a few other minor but major mistakes we run them off that field. Final score makes it look much closer than it was. [Title]

Output: Same


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Body] when I say that this game is the last time I felt we "looked like Michigan". In every way outside of one I'll mention in a second. It's a bittersweet game as it's as if Carr trolled us. It's like this hand was his way of saying "when healthy I had teams where I could have TOTALLY contended for national titles of I wanted to, as you can see. I just.....didn't." It's crazy. Nobody can tell me to this day who called that offensive game and why we suddenly knew the basic fundamentals of trying to slow down a spread offense. It felt so good to stomp urban, tebow & the defending champs. So good. It was good to see Carr go out on top as the game want even as close as the score indicated. Yet, I felt trolled. I still do! It's like Carr was making some anti-RR "see, I can open it up, too" statement in his final game. Not ever other year he coached but his last game. The last time we "looked like Michigan" to me. Geehhhh... [Title]

Output: I know what I mean but I can't put it into correct terms


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Body] over the weekend as we're both big soccer fans & he hadn't even heard. It's terrible especially when a few women posted pictures of their legs. It's not cool at all. Not one bit. As many have said, no men's WC game would be played on artificial grass or turf. Never. [Title]

Output: I mentioned this to my brother


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Body] autocorrect to boyfriend from brother (?) and I was still off as it was a nephew/son. My bad. [Title]

Output: Edit


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Body] it didn't take Olbermann to make me a little bothered by her playing. In their last match before the Cup games started I didn't even know she was still on the team, let alone starting. When I'd seen her in net I was a bit outraged on a personal level. I didn't say anything but thought just about everything many have said the last few days. This woman went from media darling to beating up her sister (IIRC), getting arrested, attacking a stranger in a drunken night,v getting arrested, attacking her sister AGAIN along with the boyfriend in a pretty vicious beating, getting arrested, going to rehab for about a day and apparently in net because what's more important than a woman's world cup? I love soccer, btw. She's out best goalie but she has no right being out there, IMO. [Title]

Output: Honestly


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Body] a childhood family friend that played at Stanford and under Harbaugh for a year. So, this will be his second by that name and they're very similar as far as position in HS and what they could translate to in college. [Title]

Output: I think of


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Kidding. I still have moments from childhood, teens, etc that I still get embarrassed upon thought. It's crazy as many of them are so stupid/minor. [Title]

Output: Beta AF! ha


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 5 days ago [Body] someone decided it'd be great to bring a very young kid to the showing. It's packed and the kid was quiet when the movie started so most forgot about him being there and kind loud during the previews. It's super quiet in I've scene and all the sudden this little voice in the front of the theatre says "ohh, man, that's some scary stuff". With the child's emphatic tone, lisp and complete unexpected nature of it the entire crowd was cracking up. Nobody really got over it. The movie was so meh that more people were impersonating the kid as they left. It was one of those things where you truly had to be there to really appreciate it. [Title]

Output: I had one of the best experiences at that movie


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 5 days ago [Body] this story made me lol [Title]

Output: ass to ass


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 5 days ago [Body] in an old thread I can no longer find there was someone that posted this gif with Harbaugh's face imposed on the kid staring into the camera. Not the "ohh, shii, mind blown" kid but the center kid. I can't find that anywhere but someone made a terrific gif of it and I need it in my life. Do any of you know where I've could obtain this gif? I guess I could make it but I'd rather just link it lol. [Title]

Output: Maybe you can help me


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 days ago [Body] here you are. It's ridiculous to you and HERE YOU ARE. I never go to the piles of shit that are 11W, etc. Here you are. Of all the flavors you tasted on the topic, "salty as my sweaty balls" is the flavor you taste most. Here you are. Here you all are! [Title]

Output: And yet


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 days ago [Body] No. Just no. There are 365 days a year and Russia is Russia. The modern American military would be hard pressed to ride their way far enough into Russia before winter lol. Yet, that's the thing! The further you march/ride in the longer they can wait. Could Germany have won on the Eastern front? Yes. Could they have done it with their forces at the time with the allies they had (let alone...alone)? It's laughable. Respectfully. You can't win a land war in Russia. OB was the dumbest military decision of the 20th century and many of us wouldn't be here to debate (respectfully) if those forces were allowed to focus on other fronts. They're was zero tactical advantage of invading Russia at the time. Thankfully, Hitler was a military moron that had final say. [Title]

Output: Before the onset of Winter?


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 5 hours ago [Body] American steel, British secret intelligence & Russian blood. I have nothing but a tear, heart pounding reverence for the D-Day landings but the successful invasion of Normandy let the German generals know deep down that it was over for sure & only a matter of time. Why? Because the invasion of Russia will go down as quite possibly the the dumbest (lucky for us) decision in modern military history. Add to that the fact that Hitler declared war on US (!) when we'd have likely waited until Japan was defeated to move into Europe, Italy & Africa and you have the epitome of a military moron. Germany had a personality cult where even military schooled generals would keep shut when given orders they knew were insane. Many generals didn't disobey orders from Hitler until the Soviets were in Berlin (some not even then). Take nothing away from the landings as I tear up just looking at pictures of the landings and the monuments, graves, etc. Yet, if Russia somehow hypothetically had no reason to enter the war...and they didn't...let's just say that their losses would have come from somewhere and they had more losses than the other allies had soldiers combined. You can recognize that and still be a patriotic American. It's basic history. [Title]

Output: As they say


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Body] THAT EARTHQUAKE SIMULATOR! gottt damn that thing is off the chain! [Title]

Output: But you should have seen


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Body] is obvious. It'd be nice to be wrong but kids have done this too many times before to take seriously. [Title]

Output: Obvious troll


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Body] is he talking OVERALL deal or individual company deal? If so, Nike would only have to go $4.6 Million per, IIRC. [Title]

Output: That's my question


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I think we just grabbed our Richard Sherman if legit 6-2. If he's a bit stiff in the hips he plays safety, IMO. I think HB is likely his 3rd position of probability. [Title]

Output: If he has good hips


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Let's get them next year. Go Blue! [Title]

Output: Great season ladies!


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] is her placement & how we haven't attacked it. [Title]

Output: What kills me


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] sitting on so many meatball pitches. Every batter since the 2nd has seen: fastball down middle or off-speed down middle, vice versa down middle, high/low inside. She's a great player but Haeger's not pitching an amazing technical game. Very few at bats went away from that exact formula and every batter but a Freshman in to pinch hit in the 6th doesn't see it. She's hurt us more with her bat than pitching, IMO. As it's been said, this game might not be happening if we walk her in game 1. [Title]

Output: I've never seen this team


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I feel the same, sadly. If this were B1G play I wouldn't even be concerned. Against Florida? Beyond tough. Going to 2nd there could be the game when we look back. I hope we're wrong. [Title]

Output: That's softball


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] gonna take an effort to recover from this 1st inning. Any other pitcher I'd be far less concerned about but we just gave a 3 spot to Florida. It's a game like this where making that throw to 2nd instead of getting the out at 1st could be a game breaker. That's just how softball works as you can come back from 8 down in an inning or lose because of a single bad decision. Gonna be tough. Couldn't have started worse. [Title]

Output: Man


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] no fanboy but it's the better console this gen, IMO. It's the stronger console but both PS4/Xone are not the giant generation leaps previous consoles have been. This is like a ".5" gen, IMO. That said, games are already better on PS4 and it's only going to widen as devs utilize the full potential of each. Not to get nerdy but Sony surprised a lot by going with 8gb of GDDR5 RAM (the RAM used in high end PC graphics cards) while Xone went with 8gb of DDR3 (basically the same as last gen). It doesn't sound like a big deal but when one can read/write in the same cycle at a faster rate & the other can only read or write in a cycle at a slower rate it makes a difference. RAM is very important in gaming due to the constant need of fast data access, constantly cycling. It's more important than the CPU once above a certain speed (as both are but the Xone does have a faster CPU). Both consoles are struggling to hit 1080p/60fps this gen but Xone is struggling to run these new games above 720p at 60fps. The general rule last gen was HD in 720p but most rarely hit that AND 60fps. To go higher on one meant to go lower on the other. Most COD games ran sub-720p to hit 60fps. This gen is the same thing but with 1080p & 60fps. Most think the PS4 can get there consistently on both by the end of the cycle but nobody in the industry is saying that about Xone. It just can't and the PS4 may never consistently do it! Still, right now even the PS4 tends to go 30fps on games hitting the mandated 1080p outside of a few exceptions out now and coming. I don't think any Xone game has hit 1080p & a solid 30fps without heavily sacrificed visuals. There may be a few exceptions but not any I can name. So, in a gen where both major consoles are sadly weaker than technology allows, go with the PS4. IMO, this is going to be the way console gaming goes until Sony or Microsoft bow out. Neither can risk $600 machines that don't sell so they decided to make weaker machines but each generation will be shorter now. Don't be stunned if talk of PS5/NeXBox happens late next year as we'll be buying consoles that are essentially mid-range gaming PCs for $399 every 5 years. Is it a better model? We'll see but I do miss the N64/PS1 & GC/PS2/Xbox gens as you had one console for the great Nintendo stuff and EVERY game was in PS2 so everyone owned one. I funny say that out of Sony loyalty but simplicity. I hate the fanboy wars we have now and I hate the "timed exclusive dlc" crap that is only around because of a legitimate 3rd console. Instead of making gaming better it's killing it, IMO. Yet, if I had one console to buy this gen it'd be PS4. No question or debate. Next gen? we'll see. [Title]

Output: PS4 if console


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I used to be a hardcore gamer and I can't stand all three of those things. I've never understood the Dew, pot, alcohol, etc gaming crowd. Also, cheetos while gaming? Chees'n up your controller or keyboard? Gross. I'm sophisticated as I liked to slam a speedball, cool it off with a few xanax and wonder why "Big Boss's bright red camo isn't working in the Russian jungles"......ha [Title]

Output: Oddly


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] as I just recently stopped adding that to all my posts. In every header I'd write "sorry, using app" but then I thought that so many use it that only the douchiest of nozzles say anything anymore. I used to get one every 10 posts or so but I haven't in a few months. I think it's been addressed at least in the hearts of posters. Keep your caps, friend. However, if you have a stimpack I'd be much obliged....ha [Title]

Output: It's funny


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] but did you play a Bethesda title last gen? haha. Buggies games ever. Restarting the console/comp was a game in itself when playing anything running that universal engine (that seems to be in use again for F4). [Title]

Output: No offense as I love the games


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] plus heavy rumors (actually leaked docs as proof) that at least a 1TB PS4 is on the way. The rumors are of a "slim" or all digital cheaper version as it weighs less and uses less energy. The amount of drop in each is supposed to be exactly the weight & power consumption of the blu-ray drive. Rumor (with documents) also show that the Xone may have to come back up to $399 soon as they went from $500 at launch to $350 in under a year due to PS4 sales. On that note I also hear that the base PS4 won't see a price drop until they stop selling so well. I'm no fanboy so it's just what I hear and it might not matter in price very soon and for the next year or so. The best hope for a really great deal are the bundles. Both consoles have done great bundle deals and I think Amazon had a $399 PS4 with 3 games just last week. Xone is surely going to have a Halo deal bundle this Winter as will PS4 when Uncharted drops in early 2016. So, if buying in the next year your best bets on both are bundles. I'd expect both to drop to $299 by this time next year. [Title]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I much prefer this way over the last staff. It has nothing to due with Harbaugh love or Hoke dislike or anything. I just think it's better to not only allow kids to enjoy this one time process and also project confidence. I have to admit that while saying that I do believe that a kid isn't truly committed until they don't feel the need to visit other places. As long as a kid is hearing offers, pitches, etc they are open. In fact, it would only be my love of Michigan and their request to not take visits to keep me from taking them. If I were a top recruit I'd let Michigan know there is literally nothing that could change my mind but I want to see the country - period. If they pleaded with me not to take them for fear of what I'd look like, I wouldn't. Outside of that I'd tell them if they wanted me they'd have to accept that this is my once in a lifetime opportunity to be treated like royalty. They'd have to trust that I'm not going to flip anywhere as, if I were ever a top recruit, nothing could keep me from UM. The issue is that I don't know where any of these kids stand wrt that. Some kids see that Bama locker room and freak out. Don't even show them the earthquake simulator! lol [Title]

Output: Honestly?


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] according to their trailer. However, I'd wait until E3 as the game looks like it could run on last gen consoles if they really wanted to (not a knock but it clearly uses the same engine). [Title]

Output: This is correct


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] that users know by now that any post without spacing/paragraphs is any by the apps. Also, it's ok as I'm on the Android app. It's free and I thank whoever made it but it's as bare bones as possible. [Title]

Output: I'd hope


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] you'll notice little nods to the other games if you've played them but so subtle that it will just seem like the game to newcomers. No worries at all as each installment purposefully has its own story within the same world (time can very, though). [Title]

Output: Exactly


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Still, that was a great trailer. I have a bit of a bittersweet relationship with Fallout. I really enjoyed the games but the only concern I have is the engine. It looks like they are using the same as last gen (if honest, this is more like a half-gen this go around). I'm not a graphics whore all that's fine but F3 & FNV (as well as Oblivion/Skyrim) were buggy messes! In fact, New Vegas broke my original 60gb PS3! It's still in there as I wait to get it fixed properly one day soon but I bought a slim with another copy of New Vegas to play so I do enjoy them. This looks great but I genuinely hope for those that play it (I might....maybe) that the engine is fixed. It's one thing to notoriously crash but breaking a perfectly fine console was my "holy shii" moment lol. I'd only had it in for about 20 mins but it had the console cranked up to 11 by brute forcing that code through there..... [Title]

Output: I love vidja games but don't play much anymore


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] in Boston. I can't think of a better spot to hold the main city. [Title]

Output: Nice


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Body] one more and you have to like the odds of this lineup (esp Romero) contributing more offense and the umps owing us a call. Gotta fight but I like this team vs anyone in one game. That said, it's clear these are the two beat teams in the country. I'm not sure it's even close. [Title]

Output: LET'S GO


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Body] what a shit call. She was basically tackled to the dirt while sliding. I'd question the base running but she's easily safe without that B.S. Those plays win or lose you titles - flat out. [Title]

Output: Wow


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Body] she's basically a female Captain Hindsight. "If she", "she shoulda", "if only", etc. It's one thing to give commentary but she's ridiculous, ha. [Title]

Output: The movie is just not good


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Goonies over this corny movie. "Ain't no mountain high enough..." & fat dudes aren't racist. Gtfo, coach. I feel like Goonies or Frozen won but they already decided on Titans ha. [Title]

Output: Boo!


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 1 day ago [Body] the SEC can only oversign so much. For every Midwest kid they take they lose one Southeastern kid. If the NCAA doesn't crush the camps this could hurt the SEC more than help. Midwest schools have to go out of region by necessity. Michigan doesn't have a city with a million people in it anymore & it's getting worse. I'm not sure of the Ohio population but I'm pretty sure their power areas are losing people, too. Please, by all means let us swap just 5 players a year. The odds are overwhelming that the five they lose will be better than the 5 they gain. Or.....it could turn them into an unstoppable force lol. One or the other. [Title]

Output: That's the thing


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 1 day ago [Body] nobody can tell me who called the 08 Citrus Bowl. Some swear it was DeBord, others Loeffler. Some even swore they knew that RR had given Carr plays (lol at that now). It was not the most bizarre but the the most bittersweet win I felt. Carr waits until his final game to show the world he totally could have contended for more titles but decided not to. wtf?! [Title]

Output: to this day

Input: [Date] 9 weeks 2 days ago [Body] are literally outsourced! It's rare but some are and others can be outsourced in all but actuality. Meaning: a person or group will work in the name of a company but never go there, meet ego they hire/fire/replace, etc. They won't even discuss their decisions with anyone in the company unless the board asks (rarely do in these cases). Essentially all decisions are made off a predetermined sheet of criteria. That sounds completely not insane only when you forget to understand what makes a business "go". Some sheets have watch or remove next to "asks for pay raise in interview-first 36 months of employment", etc. Wife goes into labor before work and you can't call until at the hospital can = fighting for your job! I'm not even referring to non-union shitshack jobs as you'd be stunned at how many major companies do this. Your boss can't even fix many common sense issues without calling them & must do what they say even when "HR" has no idea what the job is like. Basically, consider yourself lucky, OP! This really smells of one of those and I learned my lesson. I left a solid job because of that and never looked back.

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 5 hours ago [Body] Hoke was VERY likeable as a guy & he not only targeted but landed a ton of highly ranked players that wanted a teddy bear as their HC. It wasn't only that but a common thing and his recruits remembered a competitive Michigan. Right now were not even the 3rd strongest program in the B1G. IMO, Harbaugh is not only fighting VERY effective negative recruiting but I can't help but think that the negative recruiting is largely based on his personality - the one thing he is never changing or hiding. I've said before that he isn't for everyone and many kids want to at least believe while being recruited that their HC will be their best buddy. Yet, because of that I know I'd rather have 20 3* kids that Harbaugh likes over 20 4+* kids that Hoke liked. Hoke didn't always miss but he clearly did as much as he hit & those he didn't miss on had a losing attitude instilled in them, admit it or not. Too few seemed to really care when they lost under Hoke, himself included. I don't think this class will be very highly ranked. Winning quickly could certainly help but I think continued success will be what gets kids lining up again. I'll say again that I think this is truly a rebuilding job far greater than most of us fans care to realize right now. It might set in if we get clubbed by Utah or competitively start 2-2 or 1-3 (which is very possible). We have to remember that on top of everything above, these recruits didn't grow up watching Michigan be MICHIGAN. We're just a program with good facilities that has a great history but has spent a decade rarely being competitive. We have to overcome a lot, believe it or not. Finally, for the first time as a HC Harbaugh is not in California. It's easier to pull a Cali/Southern kid to a building program in Cali than Michigan. I'm not even saying this as a pessimistic fan as much as a realistic & logical fan. I love Michigan but I'm no homer. I call it how I see it, whether I like it or not. I don't let what I'd like to happen sway my thoughts. We can't let the Honeymoon quickly turn to a jaded marriage the second we lose or realize every 5* isn't begging to be coached by Jim Harbaugh. We can't sell history anymore. We finally have to build a new one. It's not panic, it's what I think is obvious to anyone with the slightest amount of legitimate objectivity. As before, thanks for the work, Alum96! Go Blue! [Title]

Output: It makes perfect sense in that regard


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Body] You sure that's not saying eastern Michigan is 4th worst? It's rither Idaho eastern or eastern Michigan. 9toad wins seems low for the last 20 years. Couple Carrs usual 9-3 and 8-4 years should have yielded some. Then you have the year we were undefeated headed into the pay game. That would have been about 5 road mins...etc [Title]

Output: Eastern michigan


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Hardaway and Stauskas will need to get lethal behind the arc to make it. There are plenty of 3 and D players that shoot better than them. Homer shades aside I don't see anyone having either run a half court set through these guys so IMO they will have to fit that shooter niche. It's a young mans league and teams will take a flyer on the next set of wings soon. Hopefully, they can make it a season or two and get to that second contract when the cap goes way up. [Title]

Output: Neg away but the lack of D means these two won't be the nba long


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Body] With every flyer recruit we've had over the last month you know there is only one way for this to end. Some are/will get squeezed out and I envison much less written on this site about shady recrutiing practices going forward...pot ->kettel ->black [Title]

Output: sounds about right. must get to 85 and it won't be pretty


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I mean no way Harbaugh is going to say no to the 4 and 5 stars down the road still showing interest. Given that we are already oversigned how is this going to work? People say "normal attrition" but really? I admit to not knowing the roster well but part thinks there is going to be a little Saban/Urban tactics used to "make it work" come fall. [Title]

Output: More concerned that we are going to oversign big time


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I think the main reason my UM vs MSU comparison doesn't hold is bc UM moves the ball more on O and typically does rush or settle for has many bad 3s as GS is doing in this series. No drive in kick from GS. Just step back further and chuck... I do NOT want the cavs to win but GS has got to mix it up. They are putting in David Lee now... [Title]

Output: im shocked at number of bad 3s


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Body] GS vs Cavs UM vs MSU One team relies on the 3, cannot rebound, plays small. Other can't shoot well, crashes the boards, can play D well, focuses on slowing the game down. If you look at Lebron stats he has not shot well the entire playoffs or this series. Cavs are winning on D, crashing boards, timely big buckets. Similar to MSU. Will be interesting if GS can win this series. I am rooting for GS. They shoot too many bad 3s for my liking though. [Title]

Output: parallels to UM vs MSU


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I think B10 Ds are better than avg as they usualy tackle well and are not afraid to play physical. For that I never expect B10 O's to put B12 or some Pac12 type offensive statistics. But I think the B10 as a whole can make that next step to challenge the SEC only if they get better QB play and as a result aerial attack to balane out historically strong OL and RB play. You can't be 1 dimensional first stacked SEC teams. OSU won the title bc they had a GREAT running game AND their QBs could make teams pay for cheating against the Run. Most B10 bowl teams (let along the whole conf) couldn't do that very well as of late. B10 currently has some solid QBs and as a result had a good bowl season. Hopefully this is the beginning of a new trend. With so many teams going spread nationally hopefully the B10 can get better pro QB prospects since their is less competition out there. I don't see the B10 going full on spread anytime soon. At least not outside of OSU and IU. [Title]

Output: i will say I consider B10 D's better than avg


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 5 days ago [Body] anyone other than the biggest B10 homer can admit that. Look at the draft performance of offensive players for the conference. Lack of elite QB play (no first round picks since how long??) has stunted the offenses. As a result WR play has been medicore as well. OL is never a problem for B1G or RBs. But in modern CFB you can't be one dimensional or you get shut down (unless you run the option which I would argue is NOT one dimensional given the multiude of options per play). Too many B10 O's are one dimensional with no real aerial threat. As a result, Big 10 offenses have been very very bad as a whole for awhile. Basically all but 1-2 teams per year (one being OSU and the other rotating) are very medicore on O. To think this doesn't inflate traditional defensive stats is crazy. So agree with the OP that D stats for the cond are misleading. UM D' s have feasted on crap schedules since the late 90s. UM has held a bowl opponent to 21 points or less once since he NC season (Hokes Sugar bowl vs a bad VT team). UM wins bowl games when it can put up big offensive numbers bc come bowl games vs good non-B10 schools the D comes back to earth (statistically). [Title]

Output: This has been true for the last 7-8 years


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 1 day ago [Body] ESPN saying SEC will drop camps in 2016 IF an outright ban nationally is not approved by NCAA before then. They will still try and ban camps for now so Harbaugh is not out of the woods yet. I think by admitting this it hurts there chances on getting a national rule banning the practice in place though. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/12964883/sec-allow-satellite-camps-other-conferences-continue-to [Title]

Output: ESPN reporting something slightly different...


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I know coach B said that but he has never played a 4 that can't shoot and stretch the court. I see DJ playing it out as j mo part 2 with more length. Just imo, which yea...everyone has one. I also know we just recruited two bigs but I think one replaces Doyle and the other prob transfers bc of lack of PT. Trust me I would love some size and rebounding out of the 4 spot. Just don't think Belein will do it. I mean we are rolling with Irvin/Dawkins at the 4 likely this year. Irvin... [Title]

Output: I'll believe dJ at the 4 when I see it


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 1 day ago [Body] J mo was 6'8'' and had to max out in terms of footwork and positioning to make it work as a 5 man by his sr and redshirt sr year. I think dJ is the same height perhaps longer and is still 12lbs lighter. I just hope Doyle stays out of foul trouble. [Title]

Output: Debbie downer here but he needs to be 250+


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Elite would be the double digit club up at top. We still have a ways to go. Its tough to compare bc the coaches on there didn't all start at their power 5 programs at the same time. I'd imagine Cal has done most of his damage since arriving at UK while Coach K has been a duke the entire period. [Title]

Output: exactly this shows that Coach B is NOT elite...not yet


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Very few even the diehard do that outside the student section. Those of us who stand up for big plays to cheer shouldn't be harassed by the "older generation" either. Yes just bc you are older doesnt mean you are allowed to harass people. That is not respect. If you or your family members can't stand for big plays they should stop going to games. Seriously. That is part of the experience and if they don't like it maybe it isn't for them anymore. [Title]

Output: Nobody is asking that we all stand all game


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Then you are probably the type to stand up in a big 3rd down play too. That's all most of us are asking for. Cheer the team and get up and make some noise on big plays. How do some of all these people "not able to stand up even occasionally" even make it into the stadium. I would think the stairs are too much. [Title]

Output: If you are the type to sit and make noise


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Body] One person at a time if we have to. Hopefully the next generation of Michigan fans won't treat a game like a movie. Btw I'm 34 and would be standing right next to you. So no it's not like only recent grads who feel this way. Plan on feeing the same why as long as I am physically able. When I'm not I will stay at home and watch it on tv. [Title]

Output: Keep it up. We need to change the culture at Michigan stadium


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Body] You shouldn't have to apologize for not being s complete homer. And no you weren't talking trash. 6'8'' and 207 is skinny as hell and in no way should sniff the 4 spot let alone the 5. It's like we forget that defense and rebounds are part of the game. All 5 positions for an NiT team maybe... Some ppl are saying decker is a comparable? Jesus. Dekker is a great athlete. Would be behind only perhaps Dawkins on our current team - yes including levert and Irvin. Everyone needs to chill on the d3 hype train. if we are lucky we get frosh year Stauskas or Irvin from this kid next year. If we are lucky. [Title]

Output: Agree 100%


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Body] When we get a 4 that goes onto the NBA as a legit SF then we will win it all. OF late all of our4's have SG bodies. I;m not saying UM needs an NBA 4 we just need someone who can get D Rebs and hit the 3. We need someone 6/9-6/10 and 240+. Thats basically Donnal size but we are trying to play him at the 5.... which is terrible...IMO he is too soft to play the 4 let alone the 5. [Title]

Output: exactly...the 4 is THE position


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 18 hours ago [Body] not NPOY but players as good as Burke (NPOY is a vote so anything can happen). 1st RD NBA PG's. I think we can expect that more than most teams based on Coach B and Co's track record. Thats not enough though bc the NCAA Elite do that too...plus have NBA bigs. [Title]

Output: haha my bad


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 18 hours ago [Body] Bulls also had a guy named MJ...the GOAT and some defensive stopper named Pippen. Unless you see those two rolling through the door I'm not sure that is the best approach. To win in the tournament you need great guard play - check, will always be check with Coach B. Bigs that can rebound for you, limit the other teams possessions (defense doesn't stop until you actually get the D Reb). If we can actually get D Reb's we can then let our guard play (see above) win the game. - not check I mean with Trey Burke and Co we had the best offense in the country and a very solid college Big in Morgan and NBA talent at the 5 in McGary. We literally cannot do better than #1 O efficiency. It's not possible. So why not look at the other side of the ball where we are medicore. Why as the #1 O in the country to do more??? I mean Oregon football has never won a title for all of their numbers on O.... BTW, IMO you can't completely make up for getting killed on the glass with a low TO. It helps, heck it's required when we get dominated so much on the boards but it doesn't cancel out the fact that we give the other teams more possessions...we will continue to lose to the ELITE when we do so. Remember our Kentucky game??? They had 17 O Rebs to our 10 D Rebs (out rebounded by 11 total ). They won the game by 3. You telling me the rebounding wasn't the difference. We won TO battle by +4. We were fortunate to get by Tennessee that year (another huge team) as well. We barely beat UT despite shooting 55/55 from FG/3pt....UM puts too much pressure on the O. Remember Louisvile? Louisville had 15 O Rebs (UM had 7) - outrebounded UM by 5 otal. They are great at D so actually won the TO battle by 3+. That right there is 8 extra possessions and won by 6 points... Sure when we are clicking on all cylinders UM can beat anyone in one game. But to beat 2-3 Elite teams in a row that will have NBA size at least the 4 spot and/or the 5 PLUS their own great guard play (ACC-elite guard play is as good as ours and they have NBA 4's on their team) its a tall order. I'm not saying UM needs to scrap its philiopshy and turn into MSU or UL. I just think that if our 4 could defend better (really just get D rebs) and still be able to shoot well enough for spacing on O UM would make it to the top of the mountain. [Title]

Output: yeah but


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 19 hours ago [Body] Need size at the 4. Size and can shoot is hard to recruit though. [Title]

Output: bc we play SGs at the 4 spot


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] Coach B won't ever get stud 5's and thats ok bc you can coach up solid players into good college 5's. IMO, its the 4 spot that we are missing from becoming elite vs very good. Unless of course they can catch lightening in a bottle again with the National Player of the Year at PG combined it with an NBA "4" playing at our 5 spot...which I don't see happening but once every 7-8yrs if we are lucky. We are just going to get killed on the boards again. We will be extremely fun to watch on offense (be top 5 in offense nationally probably) but in the tourney we will run into a bigger team and likely lose in sweet 16 or elite 8 (depending on draw). [Title]

Output: Need a 4 that can actually guard 4's


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Trying to think if any coaches in league would be against it. [Title]

Output: I know OSU oversigns. Anyone else in B1G??


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 20 hours ago [Body] Friday nights will have a game on Unimas (part of univision) as agreed in the most recent TV deal. Time Warner Cable carries its. I think some tiers of Direct TV have it. Unfortuantely, most in middle america probably won't have it unless they have something beyond basic cable. I have it here in NYC on TWC. I imagine people in Cali do as well. Sundays will be the days that have games on ESPN 1/2, Foxsports1/2...etc [Title]

Output: Friday night will have games on Unimas (part of Univision)


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Harbaugh really needs some god WRs if we are going with this passing attack. YAC is great but you need game breakers out there that can make BIG plays out of them. 49ers didn't have WRs that could get a lot of separation (like UM right now) and that lead to very few big plays for the O. Very few plays that stretched the field vertically. Vernon Davis who is a Funchess type mismatch made zero plays all year... Getting TEs, RBs, FBs involved is great but we need down field threats too. Too hard to execute 10 play drives to score consistently. In CFB now you need to be able to score 40 on anyone in order to be playoff caliber. Esp if we plan on beating Meyer. Running game will be great under Harbaugh but I do worry about the passing....imo [Title]

Output: As a 49er fan - problem was lack of big and and red zone


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Body] The 49ers have one of the worst offenses in the league. Why do we want Harbaugh so bad? They showed a stat during the game and since week 7 the 49ers are dead last in every major category. Does this not concern anyone? Kapernick literally looks like Devin Gardner out there and this was Harbaughs hand picked guy. Watching UM on saturdays this year and 49ers on sunday was like watching the same team. I suppose, Harbaugh could recruit at sugh a high level that he could win playing man-ball but with the way CFB is going now I'm not sure that will be a winning formula. [Title]

Output: 49ers have one of worst offenses in the league


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I think this really set him back. He looks like a kid that had a cannon prob since he was in 7th grade so shot up recruiting boards. Missing a chunk of HS hurt his development. With younger players every season is huge for development. Unfortunately with UM's current staff we need as close as a finished product as we can get out of a recruit bc they have shown that they cannot coach up a QB. The most damning aspect of the Hoke staff is the LACK of progress during the year. With the constant excuse of a "young team" we should actually be seeing more signs of player development not less. Player ability from the first game to last should be a noticable improvement. We are not seeing this. Look at our D; everyone is back from last year but still seeing the same misakes from the DL and CBs as the OSU and KSU game. We have seen this some some progress with the 2 headed running attack. Some glimmers in the runn blocking (kalis had some nice plays last night) but at the QB and I say WR position we have not seen it. Darboh's routes are terrible. Chesson and Norfleet have not shown the ability to be downfield threats. [Title]

Output: Shane missed his whole HS Sr year right?


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Fire Brandon chants don't work. I was at the Minny game in seciton 19 and I didn't hear anything....I suppose if we ensure they are heard on the TV broadcast that is great but a picture tells a 1,000 words. Let's get a Fire Brandon tifo going in the student section. If that is too hard to smuggle in than just get 10-12 kids to bring in a rolled up sheet of paper and spell out: F-I-R-E B-R-A-N-D-O-N This is guaranteed to be on sportscenter and you are also guaranteed at least 5-7 zoom-ins with screen time on ABC. Doing this for the PSU UTL III would be perfect. Why should we limit this to kids. If some here on the Mgoblog-osphere tailgate and go to games why not have some of you with another F-I-R-E B-R-A-N-D-O-N somewhere outside the student section as well. [Title]

Output: Fire Brandon Tifo in the student section


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Body] we will be under .500 this season zero playmakers on the entire team. Funchess can;t throw to himself. Jake Ryan is stuff playing MLB where he can't make plays. No one else on the roster even has the physical tools to be a playmaker.Do not say Clark. He is just a guy. Looks like tarzan plays like jane. [Title]

Output: average? wish we were average right now


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Body] If that throw is anywhere outside the hashmark its a catch....they have a midget on Funchess 1on1. Also,how is Darboh a starting WR. Slow and runs TERRIBLE routes. He has single handily caused 2 INTs this season. Should have been a off pass int. [Title]

Output: DB on Funchess for that INT is a ft shorter


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I'm taking the wife to her first Michigan game for Minny. Also going with another couple (husband/ my friend is from Iowa). This will be my first "grown up experience" for a game though. All prior trips have involved going with old college buddies: getting hammered the night before, crashing at a crappy hotel, popping some advil the next morning and going to the game. I actually have to figure out a proper breakfast/dinners and a tour of the campus for the non UM people.... a lot more work. Glad its 330 so we have more time. [Title]

Output: Taking the wife to her first Michigan game for Minny


Input: [Date] 1 year 11 weeks ago [Body] Yeah its nothing special but worth recording and fast forwarding to our guys. GRIII is on the court doing drills right now. They are about to do a segment on him. [Title]

Output: GRIII is doing drills right now


Input: [Date] 1 year 11 weeks ago [Body] sorry to thread jack, SF's, PF, and C's today it seems. [Title]

Output: NBA Combine on ESPN right now


Input: [Date] 1 year 11 weeks ago [Body] just curious... I follow Champions League mostly but do my best to follow MLS as well. Its hard given the lack of TV time. I can catch Red Bulls action locally on MSG channel but try and tune into NBCSN's weekend games. Portland playing LA Galaxy right now. [Title]

Output: do you Euro soccer fans support MLS too?


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] . [Title]

Output: btwn Levert, Walton, Irvin, DJ, and Chatmon we have 3 EE


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] I feel like between btwn Levert, Walton, Irvin, DJ, and Chatman we will have 3 guys that will go pro by the end of their Jr season. The schollies will work themselves out. I know Chatman and DJ haven't play 1 min yet but I feel like with their skill set and athleticism from day 1 they will have a great shot at going pro. Successful in NBA who knows but I can def see them declaring by year 3. Chatman could easily be a 2 and done. Levert is 100% gone next season and then max and spike will likely be gone the year after. Really by picking up these two late recruits we are limiting schollies for next year only. and I personally think year 2 of Donnelv(PT wise), Doyle, Chatman, DJ, and Jr Walton, Jr Irvin could be a really really good team. Def as good as Burke frosh year. DAwkins and MAAR at min will be extra depth and maybe guys that play through their season season. We haven't every really had great depth before more Defensive oriented players. SOmething DJ and MAAR will bring. I like the way things are shaping up. Only guys missing is McGary. WIth him we would have been F4 favorites next season IMO. [Title]

Output: btwn Levert, Walton, Irvin, DJ, and Chatmon we have 3 EE


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] Bottom line: Stauskas and Levert were/are better wings so they got the minutes at the "2" and "3" that GR3 wanted. If I had to buy NBA stock I would by theirs over GR3 right now too. If GR3 was better he would have gotten more run on the wings but he wasn't. With a freshman PG UM needed wings that could create for themselves and others to run the O. GR3 couldn't do that. He was a great finisher who could sometimes create for himself (if by that you mean create an elbow jumper). That would have clogged the O as GR3 getting more touches and initiatiing offense would have led to more TOs and worse shooting. Something Coach B just can't allow given our defense short comings. The only chance GR3 really had was if Coach B decided to go big. By that I mean he could have played Levert at PG and then Stauskas and GR3 at the wings. This could of worked but ultimately I think Coach B wanted Walton on the floor at PG more than he wanted Irvin or Max at the 4. I agree with Coach B there as well. [Title]

Output: Bottom line: Stauskas and Levert were/are better wings


Input: [Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Body] If Franklin comes in and starts doing the same UM is in real trouble. He is already off to a great start and has the best pro QB in the conf (soph at that). UM could be looking at 4th in the divison....I've ready given up in 1st. OL and running game is just too terrible to make that kind of a leap. [Title]

Output: Urb running circles around Hoke


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Body] He is the tourney MVP right now.. [Title]

Output: he is as gone as Stauskas


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Body] It will be between him and Yogi and I think UM winning the conf title again will be enough to give him the nod. [Title]

Output: Levert to be B1G Player of the year next season


Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Body] There offense is just as good as ours but they have shown that they can D us up if they need to. UM has not shown they can D up anyone let alone Duke. Advantage Duke. Coach K will NOT let Staukas beat them. More importantly, they can stick athletic guys with more quickness and relatively the same height on Stauskas ( T. Thorton is 6'4''). They don't have to put small 6' guys on Stauskas... Finally, Duke practically invented the 3ball game. They know how to stop 3s. They will give up drives and penetration all game long but that does not play to our strengths. It will take a very hot night from 3 from the likes of Walton and Irvin to beat Duke. Levert will drive on them like crazy again bc Duke will give us that. Stauskas will not be able to drive and will have to shoot contested 3s or get backdoor cuts. Duke is like the worst matchup IMO. [Title]

Output: We can't run with Duke


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] yikes, he drove me crazy. Couldn't understand how a guy that big could not rebound.. I will say Lavall Blanchard (was actually not bad) and of couse Dom "Bomb" Ingerson. Dom Bomb would launch it like he was Stauskas...but Stauskas he was not. I was part of the original Maize rage back then, I believe it started the year before my freshman year 01'. [Title]

Output: Graham Brown? really?


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] Just look at who was drafted to the NBA from the top B1G teams last year (and who stayed ie G Harris, McGary, GRIII). Much more talent at the top at a player level for the B1G last year then this year. IU lost a ton, UM lost a lot, OSU lost its best stuff. Thats why the bottom of the B1G looks better this year. The top is just weaker. Remember UM was never outside the top ten all season last year in the polls... [Title]

Output: exactly


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] You use Wisc to sort of debunk that but you must admit that is a very rare scenario where a team beats two conf champs out of conference then finds a way to lose 5 conference games itself....just a weird scenario. I mean I don't care how you spin it IU, northwestern, and Minnesota are not very good teams and they all beat Wisc. You'd never say those three are on par with UVA or Florida would you? Even if Wisc beat UVA and Florida. Plus I think the big issue is its very hard to compare "middle tier" teams which by definition are going to have a decent amount of losses. How do you compare 9-11 loss teams across conferences objectively? How good can you really be with that many losses. If we we are saying the B1G 9-12 loss teams (middle tier) are "good" then by definition we are now saying the Big Ten has 9-10 "good teams". I just don't by it that a conf can have that many "good teams" and still think it has any elite teams. Elite teams would not have lost that many times to allow a conf to have 10 "good" teams. I think being good top to bottom is great for a conference and actually helps B1G teams in the tourney as they are more battle tested. I just think it doesn't mean much in terms of perception of the conference as a whole. In football I feel the same way. The SEC #6-7 teams are almost always better than the B1G or any other conference but who cares if they win some bowl game before Jan 1st. I roll my eyes at SEC fans bragging about their 6th best team just like I do B1G fans talking about their 6th best bball team that will probably lose opening wknd of the tourney and be forgotten. Nobody cares. In football, its all about new years day bowls and the BCS. Win those (esp BCS) and your conference perception goes through the roof. I feel like making elite 8 is like winning a BCS bowl (mainly due to the random nature of 1 and done NCAA tourney..ie matchups). Pretty much every program would consider an elite 8 trip or BCS win a great season. Outside of a couple heavily favored teams each season (Bama in football, loaded Kentucky or Duke team in Bball). [Title]

Output: I think looking at the top is the best way to go


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] B1G is behind the ACC and probably on par with the B12 this season. The B1G has a lot of depth top to bottom but that is overrated IMO. Nobody cares how good your 6-8th best teams are. In football or bball. Sure its great in BBall do to RPI, SOS, and all the metrics used for seeding. But at the end of the year when judging conferences nobody looks at your 6-8th best teams. Its all about how good your top tier is and for that reason I give the nod to the ACC bc their top tier is better than the B1G this season. Last year with MSU, IU, OSU, and UM all legit final four contenders that was not the case. This season only UM really has a chance for a final four run but we can also get bounced by a hot team in the sweet 16 due to our lack of interior O (we had McGary last tourney) nad ok D. I think last year we could whether a cold shooting night better bc Burke could just take over and McGary could bang down low. This year we don't have that. So overall, I think a league is judged by its top tier, top 4 if you will. Hopefully the B1G can get 4 sweet 16 teams and have 1 make the final four (UM). Hard to be the best conference if you don't have a final four team. IMO, its much more likely for the B1G to miss out on the final four than the ACC. [Title]

Output: BIG is way down vs last year


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] This will be huge if ILL can hold on. I think UM will lose one more before the end of the season so this L will offset that. I just think IU at home will be tough. [Title]

Output: haha Izzo face palm


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] just face guard him the rest of the way. let anyone else shoot [Title]

Output: Harris 3s are only way MSU gets back in this


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] finish them [Title]

Output: come on ILL!


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] But these guys are great athletes and more importantly have the best facilties and time to do the PT. I ran a half marathon 8 months after ACL surgery (used my own hamstring for the graft). Granted this is nothing close to playing Div 1 football but I also could only do PT on my lunch break about 2-3 times a week if I was lucky. I had an office job where I would work 9am-8pm so had little downtime. Now I whole heartedly agree on th mental aspect as I still sometimes have that feeling in my head 3 years after surgery. That being said, I always wondered what it would have been like if I didn't have an office job and could have dedicated REAL time and hours to my recovery in PT. Sucked but you gotta pay the bills and I'm not a pro anything so had my priorities. I pretty much do anything now as a "weekend warrior". [Title]

Output: true...but


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] Haven't checked the numbers but I assume he means his PPG avg is highest over the last 9 games. Sounds about right to me. IMO, he has emerged as our best all around player. O and D. also, anyone else worried about IU at home? Let just say I really hope MSU loses one more game. [Title]

Output: assuming he means highest avg over last 9 games


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] Nuss is going for the first major BCS gig he gets. Hopefully he likes what he sees in Shane Morris and sticks around until he graduates. If Nuss is as good as we hope our best chance is that he does well here. Leaves for a solid BCS program and then maybe comes back in 6-8 years when hoke is done. all that is a pipe dream though. I'd be happy with a functional running game next season. [Title]

Output: if Nuss is good he is gone in 3 years tops


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] well I did say as I know they are basically flag football teams. I also tend to think that Oregon's D is overrated. Thats just me though. I feel like it looks good when there O is rolling but when there O gets punched in the mouth the D is usually not able to make up for it. [Title]

Output: well I dis say


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] I mean UM is not a great defensive team even when its trying (they have short moments of great D play though). Combine that with little intensity on D to start games and that equals Player X going off on UM in the first half all the time. And for some reason we as fans chalk it up to "that just have that guy going off, if he didn't do that we would be killing them". Of course by now its a consistent theme. Even back a couple years with Ohio U knocking us out of the tourney. This is my biggest fear opening weekend of the NCAAs. UM getting in a big hole vs inferior team and some guy going Yogi Ferrell on UM. We are basically the Oregon Ducks or of bball. As of late we are letting teams score TDs on nearly every possesion to start games only to come back and win 56-42... I'm starting to think it is something we are going to have to expect under Beilein and his wildly efficent Offensive teams. Perhaps the trade off for always having four shooters on the court is that you are just not going to be as good at defense. Although Duke makes it work...I tend to think its bc their shooters are a tad more athletic. My hope is that we can get a legit 5 that can rebound, start the break, and defend the rim at some point to make up for our deficiencies on the perimeter (I think we will always have it). I'd also like for one player out of our 1-3 to be a lock down defender type but its rare to have a lock down guy who is a Beilein quality shooter. All this being said, I would rather an efficient O and free flowing team than a grind it out all defensive team that can't shoot. Even if those teams win championships. O is just more fun to watch, esp in the college game. PLus we will send a pipeline of 1-3 players to the pros with this style. [Title]

Output: somewhat agree. lack defensive intensity


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] Sorry, have to be that guy to bring up football. I want UM to be the best at both. Leave them nothing. Hopefully, with a new OC and maybe a couple suprise players in the front 7 on D UM can make a leap this year. Bball is clearly on the right path, what's even better is the Belien has done it molding 4 star players instead of just brining in 1 and done talent (which may or may not last). [Title]

Output: the scripts have flipped...football and bball...
