Input: [Date] 3 days 7 hours ago [Title] One of the keys to all of [Body]

Output: One of the keys to all of this is Nebraska isn't leaving the Big Ten; everybody is joining the Big Ten, formerly known as the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives, so that for the sake of TV rights and whatnot all the powers are negotiating as one entity, and scheduling each other. I know it's a pipedream. What I don't want to see is the organic method of growing from a bunch of conferences into a league, because all that does incentivize the current conferences to snatch up any program bigger than a MAC school in a colonial land-grab, which is exactly how we found ourselves in a 7-team division with Maryland and Rutgers while Iowa and Wisconsin and Purdue come around less often than Utah. The conferences grew organically well enough when television was regional and limited to four networks, and declaring a national champion was just a nerdy postseason excercise between professions that have to pay half attention. Today conferences are billion dollar corporations with their television networks, yet theyr'e still functioning under a system that expects them to be faculty representatives from elitist, non-profit educational institutions. The NCAA had their chance to become a true regulatory body, but instead chose to act more like an industry trade organization*. The best thing for college football right now would be to acknowledge that the regional conferences that grew out of the 20th century are anachronisms worth preserving, like historic neighborhoods or whatever. Without that familiar structure the whole enterprise is at risk of becoming too desaturated, i.e. an NFL-lite, which is a crappier product fewer people will care about. When ESPN inevitably defaults on whichever round of promises it has to make to secure the TV rights to the last bastion of un-DVR'able entertainment, the BIG SIX or POWER SIX or whatever you want to term it will be in perfect position to cut Fox and Disney out of their revenue stream and make what they're making now by charging $5/month and selling ads themselves on a streaming college football channel. The Big Ten is just the body out of convenience; the organizing structure of any major conference is sufficient to expand to include the 60-64 schools that operate truly professional-level (i.e. highly profitable) football enterprises. Technically everyone joins the Big Ten, or joins a new conference that handles all the "conference" stuff for the group, and is such a tour de force in college athletics that the NCAA has to kowtow to it. I have no problem trying to fit Baylor and TCU into this (TT might be a stretch since their school's athletic budget is MAC-like despite the school's history). I only left them out because I thought a Texas-based mid-major conference would make for some rockin' good regional football. * Specifically, one for mid-19th century cotton growers


Input: [Date] 3 days 9 hours ago [Title] Those take a long time to [Body]

Output: Those take a long time to make. This damn draft takes enough of that as it is.

Output: link to the 200 post?


Input: [Date] 4 days 6 hours ago [Title] This is college football not [Body]

Output: This is college football not the pros. I think it's more important that everyone in every division plays each other every year.


Input: [Date] 4 days 6 hours ago [Title] Part of that is I hate to [Body]

Output: Part of that is I hate to break up some great Texas rivalries. You can build one helluva mid major conference out of Baylor and TCU SMU Texas Tech and Rice. Fill the bottom with UTSA maybe North Texas maybe Tulane. Historically Texas and Texas A&M refuse to go anywhere without their little buddies.


Input: [Date] 4 days 6 hours ago [Title] I removed the section on [Body]

Output: I removed the section on relegation. These schools have long traditions against each other even if they were not competitive. I would hate to lose Indiana even for a year just for the sake of recognizing 1 or even 5 good years out of say Bowling Green. Rather I capped the conferences at 11 and left spots open for expansion. If the Big East wants to add Rutgers or the Pac Ten want to add Utah there's a mechanism, but that is their only expansion and it forces their teams to all play a 10th conference game instead of an out of conf opponent.


Input: [Date] 5 days 1 hour ago [Title] Don't reply to the spammers. [Body]

Output: Don't reply to the spammers. Just report them to LSAClassof2000. We are working on a system where anyone logged in to account we mark as spam is ported to our old-old-old server that runs a superslow copy of the site except with an ad service that only runs invasive ads, and there's zero virus protection, so anyone who tries spamming us ends up having their spam computers locked into 50-minute load times and a gazillion software attacks. I probably got the idea from Ernest Cline.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 hours ago [Title] And Bo shouldn't be over Yost [Body]

Output: And Bo shouldn't be over Yost unless we're taking racial prejudice into account. Leach beat OSU 4 times but every other QB on that list is a better passer. This is pretty much opinion. But yeah, Hart over Harmon and Wheatley as a 2...?


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 hours ago [Title] Ernest is friends with my [Body]

Output: Ernest is friends with my brother too. I see your criticisms of Ready Player one, but I was actually sick of all the references after the midway point but then I thought the story took off, and I was impressed that he managed to actually bring the "your dream comes true" theme to a satisfying conclusion. I think the deux ex machina was self-aware; the whole point is it's a game and meant to function as one. I'm 50% through Armada and I think Cline was so disappointed by people not understanding this that he's making it too obvious (or perhaps the entire point) in this book.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 hours ago [Title] Yep. That's why I said "two [Body]

Output: Yep. That's why I said "two quarterbacks." I've really been trying to not complicate stuff.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] We never really figured that [Body]

Output: We never really figured that out. I went with "plays as they would on your team" because I think it's more interesting to draft system guys for a system and whatnot. But here in the early rounds it's just a grab for superstars because at the end of 2014 nobody's saying "well if Hackenberg played behind Brian's offensive line..."


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] They have had him for [Body]

Output: They have had him for awhile. He's a tight end. He's awful.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] But we've made that [Body]

Output: But we've made that explanation like 10 times in the last few years. In fact I think I started leading off these posts with "THIS IS NOT A FANTASTY DRAFT IT'S A BIG TEN PREVIEW" last year.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] Every fan of every team makes [Body]

Output: Every fan of every team makes all of these same statements about why their school is better, and totally clean too. Fact is the athletes are picking between heavens. Most campuses are beautiful. Most support staff are top notch. FBS coaches are among the top 200 in their profession. NFL talent comes out of so many schools that which coaches develop a position best has to mean less than what that individual player is made of (not that it doesn't matter, especially w/ quarterbacks). A little something extra makes a big difference because there isn't much difference between schools. As for fans, this site's existence when every other indie team site but 11 Warriors can't support even one blogging career speaks to something unique about Michigan fans' dedication. I have a hard time imagining there could ever be a Grantland for Just Clemson. Depending on what section you sit in though I'm sure you can encounter some pretty quiet old farts in Michigan Stadium. We even have a name for them: Blue hairs.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] Labels man. Ask yourself [Body]

Output: Labels man. Ask yourself this: what do you call a guy who took money from some school then signed with Michigan anyway? Think that never happened with someone on the roster right now? Cut every "cheater" who broke an NCAA rule and there won't be many athletes left. This is why I blame the NCAA first and foremost. Whenever you find a thriving black market for something there's always a shitty someone making the regular market not work.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] In certain cases it's pretty [Body]

Output: In certain cases it's pretty clear. This is one of those cases. Clemson is one of those schools. Be mad at Michigan for not playing the same game as everyone else or be mad at the players who take liquid love over a minor preference in school choice, or be mad at the NCAA which creates all this madness. Pretending it doesn't happen is just naivety for the sake of sanctimony.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] The charter schools are [Body]

Output: The charter schools are taking a few students. But the bigger effect is we built for a temporary population disruption. In the 1960s, 85% (that's ridiculously high) of Bloomfield Hills homes had school-age children. Today that's under 50%. Those numbers were repeated ad nauseum in the local paper/e-newsletter (Patch) during the merging of their high schools. Farmington won't be exactly like that--iBloomfield Hills was built almost entirely after the war and immediately filled with vets starting families, whereas Farmington was a thriving farming town for a century before it became a suburb. But that illustrates why, despite the population not being as hard hit as most of Michigan, these districts are still downsizing. A bit of school funding history: up until I was in college (and Engler was governor) your property taxes went right to the school district. Communities like Ann Arbor, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and Farmington voluntarily raised their property taxes to create elite schools. The rule itself though ultimately created an effect of really good schools in affluent areas and awful schools in poor areas, which isn't really fair considering the state should be providing a good education to all of its citizenry. So the state pooled everybody's property taxes into the state fund, shifted half of them to prisons, and doled out the rest evenly. In response these communities started passing regular bonds. Every few elections there's a bond issue on the ballot, everybody winks at each other, and we pass it, and that money can't be touched by the state. But it does raise the price of living here, because paying off the "bonds" is effectually a permanently increased property tax. It means if you're planning on sending your kid to private school, you can save money by buying a house in another suburb. School choice is a politically charged thing that affects everywhere because there are parents who prefer privitized institutions everywhere. I don't think it's a primary effect in this particular case because the #1 reason people live in Farmington in the first place is the public schools. West Bloomfield is right smack in between Farmington Hills and Bloomfield Hills, but WB has relatively crappy (read: "just pretty good") schools, and far lower taxes because they don't pass school bonds.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] I'm not advocating. I'm [Body]

Output: I'm not advocating. I'm trying to explain what's going on in my community. We have half as many kids as when all four schools were built, and one routinely has the air conditioning break down and leaks all the time. We pay out the nose in taxes for school bonds to make sure our schools have a huge flow of money, but we've been falling behind Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills lately even though we all do the bond thing to pay for public schools that equate to private schools. That's because they've downsized. BH went to one high school. Birmingham renovated both schools and sold off a big chunk of Groves (my alma mater) to be a Michigan State satellite. The competition for young families in these burbs is fierce and school quality is #1 on the list. So that's why this is coming up. Like anywhere in the Midwest there are some poorer and some richer neighborhoods, but on the whole we're talking about a pretty affluent, education-obsessed suburban community that built for the baby boom and has been a bit oversized ever since that ended. There's a social component, since over time the schools have tended to become somewhat racially and economically segregated. When we do inevitably downsize to three schools, I imagine it will be a good opportunity to undo that.


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] I live in the Harrison [Body]

Output: I live in the Harrison district; most of the families in our neighborhood send their kids to North already. Harrison's football program is great, but you can move a football program pretty easily. As for a dilapitated building that looks more like a prison...


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] I couldn't take any more [Body]

Output: I couldn't take any more Buckeyes. All of our teams are going to have some of those stains on them--mine included--but at that point I needed to infuse the draft with some maize and blue, badly. Also keep in mind the people drafting have some access to practice reports, and lots of practice hearsay. Not saying practice equals game, but the more the coaches and other players keep telling friends, family, and anyone in earshot this guy is for real, the more I tend to believe it.


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] I picked up the look a little [Body]

Output: I picked up the look a little bit. In the future we will add the quick spreadsheet to show where the teams are at by the end of each round.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] When most of the games were [Body]

Output: When most of the games were at noon, and a few were still at 1? Hell no. I was a nice drunk like the rest of college students, but even I respected the "wait until you don't taste your toothpaste anymore before you have a beer" rule of morning drinking, and by the time the day was day enough to start imbibing you almost had time to finish two drinks before walking down to the stadium. The flasks (or in my case a bottle of coke that was 75% not coke) were the only way to get a buzz unless you were a truly committed drinker, and to be honest, we are all still University of Michigan students.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] It wasn't from 9/11. I think [Body]

Output: It wasn't from 9/11. I think 2004 they banned them. I remember a bunch of people sent in complaints (damn these people I thought at the time) after the 2003 Ohio State game. This one flag was pretty high up near the 35 yard line and was on a very long pole. I don't know why that game brought complaints--maybe the wind was up so the pole was being held lower than usual.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Toilet PaperGetting on TV [Body]

Output: Toilet Paper Getting on TV was still a relatively new experience, and affecting what so many people were watching was kind of a thrilling thing. You'd see the rolls of toilet paper flying down after the first touchdown of the game and think to your young self "wow it would be so cool to be the guy who threw the toilet paper roll." It really did look festive, like instant confetti or ticker tape. Anyway they stopped when I was 8 or 9 so I never got to throw a roll of TP. Marshmallows I was definitely around for this tradition. It was 99% college students being inebriated (sneaking alcohol or a joint into the stadium was pretty easy pre-9/11) and wanting to throw something harmless. A lot of the mallows went at other students--friends sitting a few rows down and a section over, or a group of girls you walked in with. But there was a mini-game of trying to disrupt the TV crews and the opposing band with them. You tried to aim it so your mallow would pass as close to in front of the camera as possible to screw up their shot, or once they started to bring clear plastic shields, you tried to thunk it off the shield or lob it over. Also by the late '90s the TV crews had these big sound-catching clear plastic radar/dome things, which were as tempting as an opponent's sousaphone. I don't recall there being any real point to the marshmallows. Just a bit of goofy gameday atmosphere.

Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Body] I think its a sensible strategy for Notre Dame. If they're going to be playing Clemson, FSU, Miami, they should be recruiting kids away from those schools, thereby weakening their opponents (to at least some degree). If Michigan focused only nationally, the MSUs / Wisconsins would get better players from the only footprint they can recruit and would become stronger opponents, while we're sapping away the best recruits from schools we dont even play [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Body] I think the assumption is that an outlier is unlikely to be repeated and so should be removed to get a better projection of future performance. In this case, I would actually agree that the 5.3yds/carry is the right stat line. Given his reported talent, I think its more likely that opposing defenses may be able to contain him for at most 90% of his carries, but sooner or later he's going to rip off a long run, and be closer to that 5.3 number [Title]

Systems are fun and can lead to consistency but if you want to win it all, you need the latter which Michigan is historically wont to land. It'll happen with another year of consistency [Title]

Output: I don't know, yes Oregon is


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] This is a very good post, it's a fair assessment of where we are in terms of our tier of teams. Our best year in that time frame also came in osu's best year unfortunately, so luck has a lot to do with that list. hokes ability to recruit and teach tough football, and yes, Dave Brandons willingness to upgrade facilities and play the money game are putting us in a good spot to capitalize on luck when it inevitably comes our way [Title]

Output: This is a very good post,


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Eh, I'm not concerned. Hoke is definitely the right guy for the job. Just because Borges cant fit his system to his players doesn't mean he's a bad coach - he could be really good at doing one thing well Ultimately, I think it comes down to the talent level. Attrition and poor seasons are going to make it hard to catch up but if this coaching staff can bring in two top 5 classes after what happened in 08-11, imagine what they'll do after a couple of years of fairly strong performances. We weren't able to beat more talented or more stable programs but the teams we should beat, we did soundly. Good things ahead [Title]

Output: Eh, I'm not concerned. Hoke


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] 8-4 was what people were expecting before we saw how bad the big ten was this year... That said, besides Denard, we lack a game-changing type player on offense that you need to break a couple of these games our way.

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 2 days ago [Title] He did insinuate that any [Body]

Output: He did insinuate that any American should support the film. Beyond that, the film has only 2 characters who are not terrorists and they are killed almost instantaneously. The main character refers to Muslims as savages throughout the film and they never distinguish between good and bad guys. This may seem trivial to you but consider that threats and acts of violence against Muslims are increasing (see Chapel Hill and Tennessee from a couple days ago, etc). Jim Harbaugh is a highly respected member of the community and his comments, unintentionally of course, galvanized many racists in the community to say hateful things on twitter and through emails to the Muslim students association on campus. They received many hateful and threatening messages. I hope that explains the concern to some degree. He has the right to enjoy the movie obviously but people have a right to take issue with him supporting it as a public employee making several million dollars a year with a prominent pedestal.

If the tech industry was booming at the level it is now, there's no way I would have went into medicine. The best college students in America will run away from the field for better prospects.

Maybe not as much as they charge for a wedding or other non-charity event? $6k a pop for one-hour wedding ceremonies is a nice payoff.


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Americans for Safe Access vs [Body]

Output: Americans for Safe Access vs DEA over the schedule 1 classification could have a significant impact on how this all plays out as far as federal involvement, raids, etc. With regards to sports at the end of the day the school/team/NCAA/NFL can make whatever rules they please and players can either adhere to those rules or face the consequences. I don't think we'll see any rule changes unless recreational use is legalized nationwide like alcohol. I definitely don't see it changing anything at the college level since both states have set a minimum age of 21.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] I managed to be surrounded by [Body]

Output: I managed to be surrounded by the drunk belligerent Husker fans despite being in the visitors section. Outside of the game people were really nice. Poor cell service, crappy beer, nothing to do outside of football, I don't think we'll bother driving through 8hrs of corn again.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] We're leaving Friday from [Body]

Output: We're leaving Friday from Colorado. Go blue!

Output: My family is in Saline and they had golf ball sized hail.


Input: [Date] 3 years 36 weeks ago [Title] So he had to be forced to do [Body]

Output: So he had to be forced to do the right thing and then he "learned" from it and the dog that was attacked was most likely euthanized for defending itself. His writing and word choice shows he's perfectly fine with discrimintion against dogs based on breed, something I fight against every day. It is ignorance and I'm disappointed a professor would subscribe to such ideas.


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Me too. [Body]

Output: 10am start for Mountain time isn't fun either. It is an improvement from when I lived in Alaska and those games started at 8am.


Input: [Date] 3 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Universities discourage [Body]

Output: Universities discourage victims of sexual assault from going to the police because if they deal with these cases internally they don't get included in the annual campus crime reports. Always skip the school/campus cops and go straight to the police.


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Same here. [Body]

Output: The ends are cutting off with both versions for me too. It is extra scary only being able to see the angry wolverine and Sparty. EDIT: I changed the desktop setting from "center" to "stretch" and it works now.

Output: They made these for a bunch of schools and all of them have the same typo. Our local news used the Colorado one.

Output: At first glace I also saw a boat! I thought it was inspired by "the crossing of the Delaware" until I looked closer.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Arrived 5 days late [Body]

Output: Sadly I always win these things. When I was 16 I was supposed to fly home to Alaska from Michigan on a Saturday. I was travelling by myself and there was a bad snowstorm. I didn't leave Detroit until Sunday, got stuck in Minneapolis for 2 nights (it was supposed to be 1 night but the agent gave me a ticket for a flight that didn't exist), then flew to Salt Lake and on to Seattle where I spent another night before finally going home. I didn't have my bag the whole time and had to buy some clothes in Minny. So yeah, I arrived home 5 days late and received no compensation from the airlines.


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 weeks ago [Title] I bleed maize and blue but [Body]

Output: I bleed maize and blue but there is no denying that Ralphie is awesome! After moving to Colorado I went to one of their games just to see her. I felt bad when they hauled her all the way out to Georgia just to lose in classic ass whooping fashion.

Output: The car thing really throws me. I graduated in '04 and students with cars were still the exception, not the norm. Has this really changed?


Input: [Date] 4 years 9 weeks ago [Title] +1 this is a great post. This [Body]

Output: +1 this is a great post. This guy is going to be one of those parents who refuses to pick up their sick kid when the school calls because it's really important she still get to play in the game after school. At least he'll probably get what he deserves when his daughter gets older.

Output: Our favorite New Belgium is the Abbey and I'm digging on the new Ranger IPA too.


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Some homebrew, some Avery [Body]

Output: Some homebrew, some Avery brews, and enough hard liquor to forget I even did the taxes last night.


Input: [Date] 4 years 21 weeks ago [Title] I was also part of the class [Body]

Output: I was also part of the class that got to pay the price. It's not nearly as fun watching those wins get stripped away and the current team punished for actions that happend well before they ever got to college. But I can't complain too much since my senior year was the last time we beat OSU in football.


Input: [Date] 4 years 25 weeks ago [Title] "The last time U-M closed was [Body]

Output: "The last time U-M closed was 1978". That explains why the only time I've heard of a snow day was from a 70s alumna.


Input: [Date] 4 years 25 weeks ago [Title] They never cancelled due to [Body]

Output: They never cancelled due to weather in my 4 years there. We had a bad ice storm one year and they were nice enough to warn students to watch out for all the falling tree branches.

Output: 1. At home on the big screen 2. with the hubby 3. we'll check in on all of them, really looking forward to the Rose Bowl 4. starting off with bloody marys and then we'll go from there


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Not giving his DC enough [Body]

Output: Not giving his DC enough freedom to install his own staff. I'm with that. I kind of feel like he's been set up to fail so either let GR get his own staff and run a scheme he's comfortable with or bring in someone new and don't make the same mistake twice. Either way I'd like to see the 3-3-5 scheme go.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Body] There were breakdowns..sure, but they actually tackled and had 3 and outs. [Title]

Output: This as our D's best performance to date


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Body] Just imagine his numbers if he doesn't go out against BG, and plays out the full game against ILL, and that isn't even adjusting for the fact that at least a couple of his INT's are totally attributable to his bum shoulder. [Title]

Output: I think injuries have held Denard back more than anything


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Body] I was pissed about losing the sack, delirious about the win and impressed with the Frosh's presence of mind all at the same time. [Title]

Output: The QB chucked the football at the last moment


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Body] 1st down marker was unreal. I literally haven't seen a Michigan defenseman make a "You ain't going no further son" tackle like that for a looong time. [Title]

Output: I am not so sure they let Stew go


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Body] Fox claims to be a "un-biased" source of news. They would just happen to really like Shirwell's "Family Values". [Title]

Output: How would that be political?

Output: Technically Woolfolk would also be a


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Body] DC's will gladly have Denard launching air missiles all day than hav him galloping all over them. Until he has a B10 game where he burns the secondary to a crisp, this meme will not die. [Title]

Output: What they fail to mention or understand is that


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Take the number of yards predicted for the offense and use the yards/point of the defense and THEN predict the outcome of the game. (Hope this is clear, I can clarify if you need). Defenses that create a lot of turnovers will be better modeled with this predictive scheme. This will also account for bend-but-dont-break defenses that give up lots of yards but not too many points. NOTE: Jokes about our "bend-over" defense will not be appreciated. Your prediction is actually (loosely put) using two random variables without a joint probability term right now. [Title]

Output: Suggestion for alternate model.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Body] "I am afraid to say anything" response here. [Title]

Output: I am breaking out the ol Simmons

Output: Completely legit on an official visit


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Body] involved with an NFL HC job ( I've seen him on the Ravens sidelines a couple of times). I am not at all convinced he would give up the perks of a college job for the NFL. If anything, he will jump for a big payday in college FB (LSU maybe?) . [Title]

Output: Harbaugh knows very well what is


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Brian regularly makes fun of the blame ND fans put on TW's recruiting but fails to realize he is doing exactly the same. [Title]

Output: Wow, the TW reference really hit home.

Output: To be fair they weren't "beasts" under RR


Input: [Date] 4 years 49 weeks ago [Body] Also you can't hit stop on the timer as soon as you see the screen in Windows because it only *starts* all the startup applications then. It still needs to start connecting to Wifi and start the AV software at a minimum. [Title]

Output: Yeah, that was funny.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Body] win every single tournament he plays in? That i one of the dumbest questions I have ever seen around here. I know people get shocked when favorites lose but one play, that takes a special kind of crazy to ask why they couldn't guarantee that they would get it. [Title]

Output: Why doesn't Tiger Woods

Output: What's your point?


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Body] Just curiosity I guess. Simmons always keeps track of his "predictions" and mentions it at the end of his picks column...fwiw [Title]

Output: Not begrudging at all I think.

Output: I think RR is doing an okay job (B-)

Input: [Date] 5 years 43 weeks ago [Body] I've been reading this site for a few months now and just signed up for an account and got over-excited and posted a lot today. Apparently thats a no-no around here. I have learned my lesson and I will keep quiet for the most part now.Sorry for the trouble (I got an email saying I was annoying too many people). [Title]

Output: This is awkward but I also wanted to apologize

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I learned how standards work [Body]

Output: I learned how standards work on my first dirt bike when I was 12 or so, and it wasn't hard to translate that into driving a stick. The first car I really drove extensively was my ex-gf's father's 944 in high school.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I understand the law [Body]

Output: I understand the law completely, and I stand by my point. A free-rider criticizing those who pay for the good they are consuming for free is an interesting concept.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I find it interesting that [Body]

Output: I find it interesting that someone advocating an illegal alternative would strike such a holier than thou tone, but that's just me.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I think you have it wrong [Body]

Output: What I never understood is how "cocksucker" became a derogatory term. It seems to me that, no matter your orientation, they are doing a service to somebody. Are you anti-blowjob? Seems to me like they should be praised for the good they are doing society. Cowherd, on the other hand, is awful.

Output: Something about this seems weird.

Output: Assuming that Wuxia films also count, I'm going with Hero.

Output: Utilities are absolutely "national security stuff," and they should be more than fretting about the "possibility" that their systems may be compromised.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Title] From a national security [Body]

Output: From a national security perspective, this pales in comparison to what Snowden released. And I'm saying this as one of the affected.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 5 days ago [Title] '68 Mercury Cougar [Body]

Output: Dad bought it when I was 13 (1999) and we spent the next couple of years restoring it. Convinced him to drop a 351C in place of the 302 it came with stock. Pros: chick magnet, a ton of fun to drive Cons: cop magnet, 13MPG, no A/C Never going to get rid of it. Too many memories.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Or in this case we do know [Body]

Output: Or in this case we do know who is reading it, which is instructive.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It seems to me that you and I [Body]

Output: It seems to me that you and I will never agree, since the core of my argument is that the playoffs should be decided by series (7 game series at that) in order to determine who is the better team. Short series and the spacing between the games allow teams to roll out their aces twice a series, whereas longer series are a test of depth. Baseball has always been about the depth of teams. That is why the regular season is so long, and that is why until recently it was considered absurd to have anything but series. I don't entirely disagree with you and see that there is some merit to your reasoning, but I disagree with you entirely that these benefits outweigh the assault on the very core of the game itself. There are 162 games in the regular season, and if one wildcard makes it in by a couple games over the next best ones, then so be it. Just like the Braves, they could have helped themselves by winning their games.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 53 min ago [Title] I understand these arguments, [Body]

Output: I understand these arguments, but I think some of the positive components of what you outline are overridden by what happened in 2012 during the first iteration of this format. A 94 win Braves team had to play an 88 win Cardinals team and ultimately lost a game played under protest due to one of the worst calls I have ever seen. Anyone who watched that game - which wasn't many because it started at 5PM on a Friday - should understand why a one game anything in baseball is not tenable; precisely because of that randomness. That the Cards went on to win the WS is a moot point, as they had no business being given equal treatment to a team that had a 6 game advantage on them, which played in a superior division, and which had won 5 of the 6 games against the Cardinals that season. Any benefit is far outweighed by the above being allowed to happen.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 hours ago [Title] Baseball is somewhat random [Body]

Output: An individual baseball game is more "random" because there are far more variables at work than there are in basketball, for example, where the same 6-8 guys play the same 6-8 other who run more or less the same plays. In baseball the batter-pitcher matchup, coupled with just how difficult it is for the offense to score in general produces such outcomes. I think baseball would be less "random" if the playoffs were as inclusive as other leagues, where the top 6-8 from the AL/NL each make it and they play a 7 game series (5 game series are too short IMO). In that scenario I think the better teams would win out at a similar rate as in football. That being said, I would hate that as a baseball fan. I think the 1 game play-in game is an abomination that should be strapped to an ICBM and launched into the sun.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I never understood this and [Body]

Output: I never understood this and it drove me nuts while I was in A2. It's MEIJER not Meijers.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] In the student section right [Body]

Output: In the student section right behind a group of 30 or so PSU fans that were huge assholes to everyone around them the entire time. I can't believe how many M students sold their tickets during fall break; A2 was INFESTED with PSU bros that weekend. They were out on South U and elsewhere picking fights and whatnot the Friday before. Funny how they didn't seem to be around on Saturday night. This is when I lost all respect for PSU, well before the most recent...events. This and Braylonfest were the two best live moments in sports for me. That Saturday was one of the biggest party nights that took place while I was at M. I think because it was a generally terrible season to that point and the game ended at night the student body turned it up to 11.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Title] If I'm not mistaken that [Body]

Output: If I'm not mistaken that correction has to do with the speed of the satellite in orbit being faster than the speed of someone standing on the surface. The same principle would apply if you placed a clock on an extremely tall tower - the top is rotating faster than the base. These are two different principles at work here. Says that guy who's never taken physics, anyway (me).


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Title] At some point doesn't the [Body]

Output: At some point doesn't the University have to consider how far it is willing to go to remain competitive in this environment? I think we have two great coaches in Harbaugh and Beilein, but as the years go on, Michigan will be challenged in its ability to do things the right way while also remaining competitive. I think we are currently very near the edge of the envelope.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Title] This is true [Body]

Output: There is proof

Output: This post is the total embodiment of a huge problem we have in this country.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 1 day ago [Title] This is the same coaching [Body]

Output: This is the same coaching staff who set up shop at Penn State right after the Sandusky-related NCAA sanctions were imposed. As far as antics go, I wouldn't put anything past Beckman.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I think my senior year [Body]

Output: I think my senior year (07-08) was probably the last year you could really sneak in as a late night destination. They kept everything locked, but we found a tree next to the fence on the on the Crisler side that was helpful in getting over the fence. Depending on the security guard's enthusiasm and weather, you could get a lot of time in on the field. It was pretty epic after a fresh snow. The best part is that the security lights were bright enough for you to see pretty well. I'm sure it's totally different now. Thanks, Dave Brandon.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Here we go... [Body]

Output: Age? 29 Occupation? Nuclear security/nonproliferation Location? DC Alum? LSA 2008 Most MICHIGAN thing you've ever done? (funny, memorable, etc.) Snuck into the Big House at 1AM and played football. We got a whole hour in before being run off.

Output: I love Beilein and I love Michigan Basketball, but I yearn for the day when we are good at football again.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I was just in Tbilisi, though [Body]

Output: I was just in Tbilisi, though Yerevan is great too. I of course read mgoblog while there so at least for a time there's two mgobloggers in the Caucasus. EDIT: Okay, now there are at least three. EDIT EDIT: I accidentally upvoted myself, so rather than living with that shame I downvoted myself.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I'm not really sure they are [Body]

Output: I'm not really sure they are at a disadvantage in recruiting because Michigan is running a series of half day camps in the South. Auburn is permanently located in Alabama, so I don't think things have changed. Plus they pay their players, etc. They are just whining because they are babies. Also I think it's hilarious that Auburn thinks it is a bigger name than Michigan.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I had similar experience too, [Body]

Output: I had similar experience too, and it was an extremely bizarre feeling. On one hand I wanted us to ruin what I perceived at the time to be a small chance they would make the playoffs, just so I could be assured that they wouldn't win it all. On the other, I felt as you described - I needed Michigan to lose to ensure Hoke wouldn't be retained. I don't know if I was happy, but I sure wasn't upset about the whole thing. I hope I never have to feel like that again.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Braylon has a Napolia complex [Body]

Output: This is what happens when you mix a person with a Napolean complex and a diva WR. I am one year older and I went to middle school with Braylon at U of D Jesuit Academy and then Michigan with him in the early 2000s. Braylon is and will always be who he is. I remember when he arrived at the Jesuit Academy as a skinny 7th grader who still had the high pitched voice. He thought he was "all that" because of his dad and the fact that he was running in national track meets in Hershey, PA but cried when he got cut from the basketball team. He was picked on constantly and always felt the need to prove himself.(Ohio nightclub incident) No one thought that he would ever do the things that he did at U of M as he didn't mature physically until much later in high school. If I remember correctly he started off going to high school at Detroit Martin Luther King and did not play football there before he went to Bishop Gallagher. In 2001, his freshman season in AA, Lloyd Carr called Braylon a candy ass during a team meeting to which Braylon replied, "Shut up Droopy!". This is the infamous incident that led to the two of them to not be on the same page. So yes it was he who you saw running the stadium steps. I also remember Braylon and Chris Perry sucker punching an associate of mine at a house party in 2001 because my friend was a non-athlete getting more girls than them. Like someone on this board said it before, "Braylon's gonna Bray"


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] The best about your post [Body]

Output: is that you would rather take the percentages of another 3 star overachieving and setting Michigan records at his position then an actual 5 star.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Skilled Player Commitments [Body]

Output: Just an observation but am I the only one that is getting puzzled and frustrated with the lack of highly touted skilled players that actually decide to come to Michigan? Shane Morris doesn't count in this instance as well as DG because they are homegrown and likely lifelong UM fans. On the national stage it seems like we are always used as leverage with the players at the QB, RB, and WR positons against other top level BCS programs only to be left holding the bag as the quintessential "nice guy" come signing day. It would be nice to get some 5 star talent at these positions especially the later two as we are always on the list with these kids but cannot seal the deal. I know Hoke and Mattison are demigods around this board but the recent success of LSU, Bama, and ND(this year) cannot atone for the fact that our short comings since 2008 are as much due to a lack of a star at these offensive postions (since Braylon and Hart respectively) as it is to the failures and ineptitude of the former staff. I guess the more pertinent question is do you think we we can continue to be elite and compete for championships with beasts on defense and the o-line but "just some glue guys" toting the rock?

Output: IS what you would get if you could fuse Denard/Devin together a la Dragon Ball Z.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Maybe the Bucks [Body]

Output: are just better than us. I mean they have 0 losses and we already have 3. Oh and Hoke sucks on the road.

Output: Those slow white boys can't deal with those fast black boys

Output: From last year's game in East LA would appropriate


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] If we were in the same boat [Body]

Output: as they are playing a three loss OSU team at home in the final game we would all be rocking shirts like that. Can't be mad at them for having not lost and having swag. If a remember Bo dying in 2006 did not help as get a win in Ohio. It's all about executing on the field and none of this extra motivation stuff will make a difference come 12:01.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Seriously guys the B1G and BCS is out the window [Body]

Output: At least we can cope with our 2012 season by saying we lost to the two teams that are going to play for the title, the team that won our conference, an undefeated team, and a one loss SEC team in the bowl game.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] This as our D's best performance to date [Body]

Output: There were breakdowns..sure, but they actually tackled and had 3 and outs.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] I think injuries have held Denard back more than anything [Body]

Output: Just imagine his numbers if he doesn't go out against BG, and plays out the full game against ILL, and that isn't even adjusting for the fact that at least a couple of his INT's are totally attributable to his bum shoulder.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] The QB chucked the football at the last moment [Body]

Output: I was pissed about losing the sack, delirious about the win and impressed with the Frosh's presence of mind all at the same time.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] That tackle by Avery on 3rd down right at the [Body]

Output: 1st down marker was unreal. I literally haven't seen a Michigan defenseman make a "You ain't going no further son" tackle like that for a looong time.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] I am not so sure they let Stew go [Body]

Output: He still does have a darn good winning percentage and is mathematically in the race for a Big East title.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] How would that be political? [Body]

Output: Fox claims to be a "un-biased" source of news. They would just happen to really like Shirwell's "Family Values".

Output: returning starter since he was one when he got injured. btw, Magnus, wanted your take on the Demens hype and the Woolfolk hype.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] What they fail to mention or understand is that [Body]

Output: DC's will gladly have Denard launching air missiles all day than hav him galloping all over them. Until he has a B10 game where he burns the secondary to a crisp, this meme will not die.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Suggestion for alternate model. [Body]

Output: Take the number of yards predicted for the offense and use the yards/point of the defense and THEN predict the outcome of the game. (Hope this is clear, I can clarify if you need). Defenses that create a lot of turnovers will be better modeled with this predictive scheme. This will also account for bend-but-dont-break defenses that give up lots of yards but not too many points. NOTE: Jokes about our "bend-over" defense will not be appreciated. Your prediction is actually (loosely put) using two random variables without a joint probability term right now.

Output: Pearl hosted a barbecue party at his home for players not on an official (maybe even during a non-recruiting period, I am not sure).


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Harbaugh knows very well what is [Body]

Output: involved with an NFL HC job ( I've seen him on the Ravens sidelines a couple of times). I am not at all convinced he would give up the perks of a college job for the NFL. If anything, he will jump for a big payday in college FB (LSU maybe?) .


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Wow, the TW reference really hit home. [Body]

Output: Brian regularly makes fun of the blame ND fans put on TW's recruiting but fails to realize he is doing exactly the same.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] To be fair they weren't "beasts" under RR [Body]

Output: either. They were barely serviceable.


Input: [Date] 4 years 49 weeks ago [Title] Yeah, that was funny. [Body]

Output: Also you can't hit stop on the timer as soon as you see the screen in Windows because it only *starts* all the startup applications then. It still needs to start connecting to Wifi and start the AV software at a minimum.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Why doesn't Tiger Woods [Body]

Output: win every single tournament he plays in? That i one of the dumbest questions I have ever seen around here. I know people get shocked when favorites lose but one play, that takes a special kind of crazy to ask why they couldn't guarantee that they would get it.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] One of the interceptions was clearly a miscommunication between [Body]

Output: him and wayne (read based on safety blitz). I would hardly call that a "terrible" throw.

Output: What's your point?


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Not begrudging at all I think. [Body]

Output: paraphrasing what Brian has been saying forever) is not contributing. Also, asking a question and answering it yourself == LAME.

Output: to comment in every single one of the 1000 threads every day without ever contributing anything..not even by mistake.

I have learned my lesson and I will keep quiet for the most part now.Sorry for the trouble (I got an email saying I was annoying too many people).

Output: Expect the students to get there late.


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 11 hours ago [Title] Agreed [Body]

Output: Dead on. Friends on the sideline during the game also told me that Cole ignored a punt call by his coach leading to his suspension. Also, Cole's jawing with the refs lead to his personal fouls, not sure if that was already established in this thread.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Steve Elmer [Body]

Output: Most of us remember being a little disappointed that Elmer picked nd instead of the good guys. I have family connection to the Elmer family and got the scoop. During a recruiting visit to a uofm home game, Steve was so turned off by what he perceived to be way too much student drunkeness. After that, Michigan was no longer a serious option for him. Add that to his family's religious values, it was an easy nd pick for him.

Output: A few years ago....I lost 40 MGO points on a thread where I criticized B Cissoko for his off the field arrests. All of the blue bloods here were angered with my post. Let me take this opportunity to ask you this: Guess who was fucking right? Please restore my 40 worthless MGO points. Yes, I am still mad about this. Haha..................................... Another thing, I read the 300 something posts in this thread. This WLA posse sounds like a bunch of bitch ass clowns. If these were some of the guys that Brian banned, then Brian is a damn genius.


Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Title] i say [Body]

Output: I guess I was a little surprised reading the snowflakes thread with a lot of ppl more down on the M defense than I was. They gave up 23 points, 3 fgs included. Most of the game we rushed 4 guys against a 6 man O line. Few teams in the country are gonna generate a good rush off that. Our LBs looked to be 6-7 yards past the los, pretty much conceding a 5 yard ND rush. Playing with 2 deep safeties as well most of the time. NDs RB, i forget his name, had great burst, which I think ND RBs have lacked in recent years. I didn't like how we clearly telegraphed our 4 man rushes too many times. Ramon Taylor had a good game, tackling machine.My bottom line point is this was totally bend don't break game plan for the defense. With our alignments, I don't see how ppl could think the defense could do a whole lot better than what they did.


Input: [Date] 1 year 49 weeks ago [Title] Fine [Body]

Output: Msu had issues of its own a few years back, with 3 mens bball players accused of a gang rape. If I remember correctly the MSP wanted charges filed but the ADA balked. I would guess the rcmb folks have forgotten all about that.

Output: Distract the masses by creating a new Rich Rod thread. By the time anyone realizes what just happened, it will be CMU week. Did L. Carr really leave the cupboard blank when RR took over? I am dying to know what the ppl think.

Output: I guess I am one of those ppl to think that the cover-up extended into the university and coaching staff. I think people will look @ this and say, well, we got the bad guy. I think that will be the PSU response for one. I want to see the PSU ADs (or whomever) on trial, see another jury where 1/2 of them have a connection the university. See how that plays out next. I see a whole coaching staff that perhaps knowingly sat silent along with the ADs. Could some of these kids been spared? If this ends with Sandusky getting convicted and nothing more. It's not good enough for me.

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I've been waiting all week for this thread. After years of reading these threads and hearing about Bells beer I was ecstatic to find out that it was coming to MD and so far it has not disappointed. I sampled two hearted at my liquor store and took home a 6 of Oberon and Amber ale. Delicious. Smooth too. I'm so pumped to have a go-to brew for every Michigan football game. Any other Bells favorites? What do they role out with in the fall and winter? The arrival of Bells has been pretty big around here this week, heavily advertised at stores and they sponsored a block party/tap takeover thing outside of my office. [Title]

Output: Bells brewery


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Here's a solution with a Michigan Football story... So when I was 10 I was fortunate enough to be able to go out to Pasadena for the '97 Rose Bowl. After eating dinner at Wolf Gang Puck, I woke up on gameday with a stomach bug that had me puking up Four Seasons pancakes. Regardless, we ventured to the Rose Bowl to take in the pre-game festivities. After a while the stomach thing got worse and I had to lie down. My dad, who was always full of weird solutions to things, went around to tailgaters to get two cups and some Coke. Apparently the first tailgate he found with Coke made him proove his allegiance to the Wolverines before helping him out - luckily he succeeded. You pour the coke back and forth until its flat and drink it flat (its the syrup I think). By the time kick-off rolled around I was good to go...short story long, flat coke works. [Title]

He said his sources were telling him that a big name, current HC, not coordinator, was going to take the job...and then they hired Muschamp. [Title]

Output: I don't mean to kill the


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I could be wrong...but wasn't the whole bidding war for Cam Newtons services between Auburn and MSU? I'm not sure if that's an indictment on Mullen or just MSU but if true it definitely seems sketchy. [Title]

Output: I could be wrong...but wasn't


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] What about Sumlin? I know he's not on the same level of the coaches you just named but I guess that would depend on the writer's definition of "Tier 1". Wasn't there some story about Brandon interviewing Sumlin in '07? (probably BS). [Title]

Input: [Date] 35 weeks 2 hours ago [Body] I've been saying this for the last two days...everytime one of the big name program HC jobs opens up, the fans/media speculate about A-list candidates and it almost never happens. I think a lot of UM fans should come to terms with the idea of landing a "Plan C" level guy and they should be OK with that. Harbaugh would be ideal, but he's not the only guy out there who can lead this program back to prominence. [Title]

Output: That's what they said about


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 6 hours ago [Body] I would love Harbaugh or Miles, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Whenever these big name jobs open up people speculate all of these top coaches moving around and it never happens. Typically, a HC from a lower level FBS, middle of the road P5/AQ, or big name coordinator lands the gig. So I could easily see UM bringing in a Chuck Martin or McElwain type and I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. [Title]

Output: I would love Harbaugh or


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 18 hours ago [Body] Patterson and Whittingham is just my non-Harbaugh wishlisht. I don't think either of them are coming. RE: McElwain - I think fans to come to terms with the idea of neither Harbaugh, Miles, Mullen, or any other candidate in those top two tiers coming to UM. You look at the hot coaching candidates these days like Sumlin, Briles, Mullen, Gundy...instead of trying to pry them from their current/established position, go find the next guy whose on his way. So when you look at that crop of candidates, guys like McElwain, Chuck Martin, Frost, Herman, Doeren...I prefer McElwain. I like that he learned from Saban and has CSU trending upward. I like that his offense fits the current personnel and that it's effective. CSU's offense was at the bottom of the barrel and after one transition year they've been top 20 the past two seasons. I think he's projecting to be a successful coach in college football. [Title]

Output: Patterson and Whittingham is


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 23 hours ago [Body] I'm getting the same pole (that's what she said). If you eliminate the Harbaugh's I would love to see Gary Patterson or Kyle Whittingham. Although a Miles/Pelini reunion in Ann Arbor sounds appealing also. Of all the "plan c" type candidates I like McElwain the most. [Title]

Input: [Date] 35 weeks 23 hours ago [Body] I said this in the "if hoke is retained" thread...waiting until the team meeting made the most sense of the situation and explains why the AD has been quiet and why it has been business as usual in Ann Arbor today. This reduces media speculation and let's hoke tell the players himself and you avoid the backlash like you saw in Nebraska yesterday. [Title]

Output: I said this in the "if hoke


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I obviously have no idea but if I am going to stick with my theory...a series of last minute cancelations would get all the spectators and commentators buzzing. I think the silence from the department has a lot to do with getting to this final meeting tomorrow and letting the players hear it first. I am not saying I agree with the plan, it just seems to be a logical reason why we haven't heard anything yet. (Side question: have the visits been confirmed? Who/where are they visiting?) [Title]

Output: I obviously have no idea but


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Isn't the final team meeting on Tuesday? Would it not make sense/be respectful to let Hoke inform the players first and then make it public?

Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 days ago [Body] The reality of the situation is that no school pulls coaches from those types of positions. For some reason people always want to assume that people will just jump ship for the slightest improvement in "prestige" but it rarely happens.

Athens, yes, because everyone wants to live in the middle of the deep south 4hrs from a beach, 105 degrees, 95% Humidity and then at night it's still 85 degress and now 99% humidity. Oh and it gets better, when you walk outside, your instantly covered in sweat, not the good kind because it's so humid it forms a layer of slime on you. Georgia, cause everyone loves having to stay inside all day in the summer cause it's a 1000 degrees and you can't cool down cause your pool is 95 degrees..........Yeah, been there and as I said one place to visit and that's it.

Add to that, our staff already has 3 rb commits even if two of them end up at fb ..... that's crowded for one class alone without adding a 4th rb. [Title]

Output: Not surprising


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Remove Helmets and start taking money out of players pockets for leading with their heads. By removing money I mean, suspension for intentional helmet hits, offensive players too for droping their heads for hits. And not the same as the drug policy but after so many personal fouls for helmet to helmet up the suspension to 2 games no pay. Then force players to sit for caused concussions resulting from an intentional helmet to helmet hit, ie a caused concussion equals 2 games for the offending player. Also, get even more strict on the launch hits. I still see a number that aren't called. It's the only way to fix the issue. The other thing, any failed ped tests should limit liability for this. I still say believe players are juiced and it's a major cause for the severity of injuries, namely head injuries in football. Players want the nfl to pay for head injuries then they should subject themselves to even more ped testing. [Title]

Output: Remove Helmets


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 4 hours ago [Body] Imho officiating would have a lot to do with Kentucky losing. Meaning this team just bullies opponents inside. So, unless we get a crew that is calling a tight game against a solid shooting opponent like Duke, Virginia, Wisconsin, Arizona and maybe a couple others, Kentucky is going to roll this tournament. Kansas, being the next best team in that bracket is weak. They don't play consistent ball at all and do not have a player capable of taking over a game against Kentucky. If they make it at all. ND doesn't have the size to stay with kentucky so they get rolled if they make it. By bracket, Kentucky is automatically in the final 4, so imho it's a 2 game tournament for Kentucky. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Body] The spring game which is realy a glorified practice is not the place to determine anything about the 2014 team. Talk to anyone that has attended an actual practice to tell you the story rather than reading something from someone who never attended any of the practices. Don't take too much out of spring because after spring summer workouts and fall camp you will then find out who has put the time in all off season. Spring you get some info on what is going on. Best news out of spring is the dline looks far better as a group right now and the players fitting the responsibilities of the 4-3 over better has payed off for them. So, we will wait till the first game of the season and see how that matches up. O Line has been hit/miss but will wait and see again. [Title]

Output: The spring game/practice


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] Funny and intense. Very good technically and demands those guys block. Should see blocking video they had of gallon, he embarrassed a lot of corners and safeties thinking they would take him. Finally happy about where the wr corp is skill wise compared to the lats 6yrs... [Title]

Output: Heck is a great coach


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] In sports you earn/win your respect. Florida is getting respect due to how they are playing and the fact their coach has to titles. They have done it. Ky is getting respect because the program is tops in bball, and they just won a title 2yrs ago and have top talent now, just very young and you see them growing up infront of us this tournament and the sec tournament. Michigan, hasn't seen a ton of respect this tournament namely becuase the 3 stars from last yr's run are either in the nba, or injured now, mcgary! So looking at our games agianst msu and wisconsin it's obvious our team can be pushed inside. Hence, tennessee being the popular pick due to their length at the perimeter and strength of their inside game. Msu, getting a ton of respect now getting their top inside players back and msu looking like an izzo team again. Like ky, they are playing very well and the team has taken big steps the last few weeks. Hence they became the hot pick to win it all. Wisconsin, has beaten 2 teams nobody thought they actually would given the matchups. Big10 just earned a ton of respect all 3 beating teams that were considered tough matchups for each team. All 3 into the elite 8! They won the nations respect as a conference. I'll say this, it doesn't matter who wins the national title as far as conference strength is concerned. I never got that arguement... alabama wins in football to me has no bearing. Fsu won it in football this yr and doesn't remotely convince me that the acc was the best. This yr sec 0-2 in bcs games and acc is 2-0 with the national title...who here thinks the acc is a better football conference? Same in basketball... Florida could win the tournament or kentucky, wouldn't remotely convince me the sec is a better bball conference than big10, big12, acc or pac12! [Title]

Output: Win respect


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] Never heard of CJ's, right now way to many craft brews out to try them all. Being from Cincy I am trying to get through all the local breweries that have popped up as well as some of the top national craft brews. Bells, Centennial, 3 Floyds, Michigan is well represented nationally..., I have heard there are a few more to try that arent national. Cincinnati has, Madtree, 50 west, Rivertown, Rinegheist, Mt. Carmel and a few others that are just excellent breweries! Still, I always find my way back to Sam Adams Boston Lager and Guiness....... [Title]

Output: Tried centennial, like two hearted much better


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] All I can tell you is I have been to spring practice with maizeman, know him and he does work for the athletic department which is how he is in. He expresses his views from what he see's. Coachbt, he is a hs coach from the toledo area that attends every coaches clinic and also gets to attend a couple practices as a result. Eroc, knows maizeman and has gone to many practices via maizman. They all have developed relationships within the athletic department. I have met many other posters that attend the coaches clinic, that have ties to the athletic department via friendships of ad employees, former players, coaches and boosters. Know a couple that are big boosters. Am I an insider, not remotely. But as I stated last yr I did go to a couple practices with maizeman and know very well he has access to the staff, players and practices as it isn't a claim it is a fact. The guys that want to insult my writing, wgaf what you think, I shared something I have actually seen, know and witnessed. You, you bitch and complain about others who shared and wasn't trying to charge anyone money for doing so. So, wtf ever [Title]

Output: Me, nobody, maize man, not sure,


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] I stated an undefeated osu should have been in over a 1 loss sec team. That I stated, that I believe of any bcs team. If you are going to post my thoughts at least know them. I stated the sec is over rated in that 1 loss sec teams deserve to be in the title game over undefeated teams. Get your head out of your tail about my thoughts. [Title]

Output: You don't know what I thought!


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] And you guys insult their writing and analysis. Kind if does... reeealllyl.... I went to spring practice last yr with maizeman. He does have access. The two practices I saw last yr, Ross was playing awesome and was the best defensive player on the field. I got to see Countess doing drills and knew last yr was going to be rough as a man corner for him. Offense, Darboh and Chesson looked better than Funchess....and you didn't see Gallon do anything. Jake Ryan was on crutches and he was everywhere encouraging the defense and lbers.... So, while you all accuse them of knowing nothing I can vouch for them not that it means anything as I don't personally know any of you all. But, everything i saw fit to what happened last season. Run game sucked, interior oline just wasn't what I thought it would be and the dt's were a work in progress. Honestly last season I was fooled by the nd game though. I thought they would lose that game and end up with 10 wins losing to either Osu or Nw as the other loss opposite nd. I thought nd was better than what they showed in that game. Ross was not close to the player he showed in spring, Darboh's injury really hurt, oline burzynski's injury really hurt. Bosch was the best technically of all the tr fr and rs fr oline, however Braden was physiclaly awesome and starting at LG all spring. That was last yr... So, reports on spring practices remember, they are practicing against their own team and get used to the calls of the other side of the ball and the player infront of them. So, you have to take it with a grain of salt and realize the reports are just that. Mixed opinions of what they see. I was at practice and had some disagreement maizeman's analysis. But that is also why I try to put what coach bt says along with maizeman and come up with what's in the middle. Both attend practices, both know the coaching staff far more than you guys would like to admit. So sit back, enjoy your beer threads, btw, bells two harted, madtree gnarly brown and guiness are still the best beers on the planet! [Title]
