Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Honestly a 6-6 season at EMU [Body]

Output: Honestly a 6-6 season at EMU is probably more of a feat then 10-2 at Michigan. Don't take that the wrong way. I've caught glimpses of the program because a guy I played High School Ball against (Gillett) is up there. That program was in shamble over the last decade. English is starting to get guys that fit the mold of what he wants and I think it will pay off sooner then later. The MAC West won't be as competitive over the next few years. NIU should be coming back to earth unless this BCS bid gets them some unexpected talent. Toledo Peak will probably be next year with the huge Junior Class of Owen, Reedy, and Fluellen all coming back for thier senior seasons. I'm a big fan of EMU style and I think English will find a really nice job some where. I think his main issue right now (other then being at EMU) is that he wants to win on brute strength and no Mac team can win on strength vs a BCS oppenent. Also some of the best offensive teams are in the MAC and can throw up huge numbers. You give English a team like Wisconsin and I'm not sure how they don't win a minimum of 8 games a year. That is his type of a football up there. If I Was Barry my list would go: Chryst English Someone from his current staff Kirby Smart


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Wow I missed the memo they [Body]

Output: Wow I missed the memo they went 2-10 this year. They played way better then there record shows. Still English has done well at a job no one has had success at in years. A 6-6 season was a huge step in the right direction.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] My vote based on style and [Body]

Output: My vote based on style and B1G connection is Ron English at emu. He took possibly the worst team in the FBS and has them near .500 year in and year out. Defensive minded and offensive philosophy of line up and hit them in the mouth. English would be the perfect fit up there.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] I'll play Luke fickell [Body]

Output: I'll play Luke fickell (14-16) returns to osu when urban is burnt out or NCAA round 8 comes knocking. 2017 mike hart- gets his first hc gig after rapidly climbing the ranks at emu. Later in 2032, hart will move on to his dream job at Michigan after Brady hoke retires after his 7th national title.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] yay depth.. still fear that [Body]

Output: yay depth.. still fear that the line next year is going to look ok at best. Very young and inexperienced. Mike and Joey are the only two have taken competitve game snaps right?


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Remember the last time [Body]

Output: Remember the last time Michigan played a heisman winner in a bowl game? Some one que up tebow getting planted gif. Don't like the thought of that offense though.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Being in the stands there was [Body]

Output: Being in the stands there was a play in 4th quarter where devin scrambled and picked up a few yards but my biggest problem was tree was in the slot vs sabino and beat him on a vertical route bad with no saftey help. It was probably the biggest miss of the entire game from the passing aspect.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] My buddy goes to osu and got [Body]

Output: My buddy goes to osu and got me tickets to pay him for taking him last year. Sat in 9a and the fans around me were great. The slurs and jokes gots old but I kept to myself the entire game and had some great conversation. Really overall a positive experience and I hope there will be a lot more maize and blue in the stadium in 2014.

Output: How bout the worst of it all.If nd loses, Ohio wins.. Ohio "could" be ap national champions.. And drink


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Can't edit from my phone but [Body]

Output: Can't edit from my phone but assuming both qb are healthy and 100% it has to be Denard.


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Title] No... If the coaches didn't [Body]

Output: No... If the coaches didn't want multiple running backs I'm going to say it will be one or the other for Ohio and the fact it will probably be denards last B1G game (baring Iowa or Minnesota doing something out of the ordinary) I feel morally inclined to think they want denard to ride off into the sunset. Just my 2 cents.

Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Because guys like Eric Page [Body]

Output: Because guys like Eric Page and other MAC, Sun Belt guys have never been able to run 4.4's. I guess someone should go tell Benard Reedy he needs to slow down because he's not allowed to run faster then 4.6


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] I stopped following him a [Body]

Output: I stopped following him a while ago but the kid keeps mentioning how Michigan fans trolled him including one who mentioned something about being glad his father died or something along those lines. Ever since then Dawson has had it out for Michigan. Sometimes I wish our fan base would just shut up and use twitter the right way or not at all.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] I think the better way to [Body]

Output: I think the better way to phrase it is he graduated so he could transfer. I might have him and Garett Gilbert confused but one them took like back to back semesters of like 27 credit hours so they could graduate a year early and have 2 years of eligibility.

Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Don't mean to be that guy but [Body]

Output: Don't mean to be that guy but isn't 5/1/2006 go by day/month/year over there? I had a chemistry professor from their and that was there way marking dates. If that's January 5, then that has nothing on the UP. Either way I would prefer he stays over seas but he did say Columbus was pretty much a hell hole so you got that going for him.

Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Title] not bashing my friend. I was [Body]

Output: not bashing my friend. I was just simply saying that I would love to see a Michigan team run by an upper classmen. I tried to point that out in the original post. I'm glad the kids are making it to the league and achieving their goals and that is a huge recruiting tool for Michigan. I hope one of those guys can go to the league and make an impact. That would be huge!


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Title] 6'3".. that kind of length at [Body]

Output: 6'3".. that kind of length at the point would be awesome. With Derrick Walton coming in next year, PG isn't a huge need but the way Belien PG like the NBA more then Michigan for some reason (not bashing just wish we could have an upper classmen pg for once) make me think he will probably have an offer by signing day.


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Im not feeling to hot on this [Body]

Output: Im not feeling to hot on this and it's suppose to be really cold night for week 4. I'll play though. 13-27 194 2 td 1int. 17 rush for 121. Michigan playing hard til the end but ND trenches prevail 24-20.


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Title] I will apologize for my [Body]

Output: I will apologize for my comments. I have nothing against boulder, it's a beautiful place. I spent a weekend there and didn't see it as an amazing college town and that was when I was 18. I included columbus in my college town mainly for the fact it attracts pretty talented 18 year old kids more then it does boulder. Wasn't trying to ruffle any feathers as I had. AA is a favorite of mine mainly because I know the area and have had a lot of fun there. - pro tip- never say anything bad about boulder on this blog cause people really really like it.


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Yes I have and it wasn't to [Body]

Output: Please raise your right hand and repeat after me. " I (mgoblog user) will never ever ever link bleacher report article again . That being said I forgive you but espn would be a way better source. There is a part of me that wants the cap to come down. I saw a stat like 18 of the teams would be way over if the newest deal went through. Detroit would be in really good position in the coming years if that were the case. This year is going to be an interesting year to say the least.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] wow I serioulsy was about to [Body]

Output: wow I serioulsy was about to post the complete opposite thread so I'll just post it here instead of taking up board space. Well this weekend there has been a lot of blame going around about why the Bama game was such a mess. It's been pretty bad and I understand we don't like the results, but at some point we really need to take a step back and realize there was a lot of good in this game to. Obviously not as much on the field but it will help our players and coaches. Rarely do you get to see 50% of this years draft class on the other side of the ball. They were very good and sometimes you have to chalk it up to that. From examining the board for the last 36 hours I have comprised 5 of the biggest issues that we bloggers have been having and I'm going to try to debunk/bring attention to them. So lets get it started at 5. 5) Sparty this and sparty that... Well from a post a couple down from mine is a pretty good example. I understand many of you have to deal with the fan base on a daily basis but sometimes we really need to stop giving a crap about them. yes, they lost to Bama worse and yes they beat a ranked Boise team but we really don't need a whole section of the board that looks like RCMB. I would honestly prefer that all state stuff was combined into one week of hate and we could forget about them the other 51 weeks of the year (other then basketball of course) 4) "Refs were awful, no pentalty call on interception, CLIPSSS!!!!" I think since saturday night we have had 3 board topics on the exact issue or atleast 3 different conversations in comments about it. I'll be honest that I thought the refs missed a lot but those things are apart of the game. In a national poll on espn a few months ago, fans voted that Michigan gets the most calls while playing at home. Not sure I totally agree with that but I guess we have the feeling that a lot of other teams have when they play us in A2. Oh well, the refs didn't cause turn overs, poor tackling, or were the reason Bama dominated in the trenches. 3) " Why you no run Denard!" that topic was pretty crazy around these parts during the game and it seems like most of it has settled down. The biggest thing I took away from saturday is that Denard is never going to be Payton Manning.. I know shocker right?.. Borges knew what he was getting himself into. Bama was going to hit us square in the mouth and is going to be the best D we see all year. Injuries were happening all over the place and our offense is revolved around Denard still. If he would have got hurt badly then we would have been down to Bellomy and.. air. We didn't run the offense you will see when we get to B1G play. This year goal wasn't to beat Bama but to win the B1G and Denard running for 150 against Bama wouldn't have effected that at all. Now we just have to sit through a week of talk radio of Ohio and State fans saying "haha he sucks". Don't worry about it.. When he is actually fresh in the B1G this year, Michigan fans will be a lot happier. 2) Blake Countess.. Troy woolfolk.. STOP KILLING OUR DB'S BRADY!! Well we all know the biggest hit out of the game happened 24 hours after it was actually done with blake being ruled out for the year. That has sparked the "we have so many other guys that don't mean as much as blake that can be a gunner" conversation. I'm frankly pretty sad for this injury but thats apart of the game. You have the same odds of being hurt as a gunner as you do a CB. 3-7 extra snaps normally won't change anything but now our top returning corner has been hurt 2 years in a row on ST. Beamer ball is predicated on having the best 11 players out there. We took a year off from bad injuries last year and we got reminded this year that they still happen. Brady will have someone out there by B1G season who will be able handle themselves. CHILL. This my favorite: 1) It's all Dave Brandons fault! This is where I just say SHUT UP! Back in 2010, We had really high hopes for 2012 and that was when RR guys were going to be "flying high". Dave Brandon (yes it was Dave not Bill) wanted to get the national exposure that the team and fan base wanted. We all know what happen in 2010. Then Hoke came in and won 11 games with smoke and mirrors. (trust me we beat teams that we really weren't better then last year) OK smoke and mirrors is a little harsh.. Better coaching and some good bounces. The whole summer everyone was so hyped for this game. I could link you to the 5000 posts about it but honestly this post is to long to begin with. Earlier this week, Brandon makes a statement about wanting more high profile games and everyone was like... yay!! these are awesome! Then Saturday happened. Now the blame game is on Dave Brandon. He took a chance and I fully respect that. I know this blog is sponsered by "get off my lawn" inc. and everyone hates new non-traditional things but the whole athletic department is moving in the right direction. I get everyone around here hates the jerseys lately but for some reason the 16-18 year old kids love them (I have no clue why) and it helps recruiting these kids. This game was not Brandons fault. As an AD he did his job but we just didn't have the horses to run with Bama. http://mgoblog.com/content/michigan-alabama-dallas-2012 http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/brandon-aggressively-seeking-big-games-futur... I know this was kind of a long rant but as a fan base we need to chill. We still have a good team and there is a long season ahead. Lets look forward to Air Force and hope that there is marked improvements in all areas. It was the first game and mistakes happen. Usually they happen against Western and you wouldn't notice. Everything will be ok and I still have really high hopes for this team. Go blue!

Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Beckman had an eye for talent [Body]

Output: Beckman had an eye for talent at Toledo. He was always throwing offers 2/3 years ahead of time and those guys would blow up. It's just his style to scout early and offer early.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] The knock I heard on Wyatt [Body]

Output: The knock I heard on Wyatt was when he had the ball he would dance and avoid Contact (last year).. By chance did he lower his shoulder on any of his runs tonight? Would love to see that kid run some guys over with his frame.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] As a Toledo student, I would [Body]

Output: As a Toledo student, I would prefer a Toledo win but for RR that would not be the best start ever. If Toledo doesn't win the MAC this year I will probably have to go jump off the High Level. This year team has so much talent that the only thing stoping them will be themselves. If they can get past zona and Cincy, they could have a very special season.. Just have to remind the defense that its tackle not 2 hand tap.

Output: Let me some it up.. Everyone can take a crack at it but no one will do it because ea is to big of a brand and they have years and years into the system generator. No company will be able to come in and come close what they have already from years and years of tweaks. Yes there is still problems but it could be a lot worse!

Input: [Date] 3 years 3 weeks ago [Title] The kid started at sjj from [Body]

Output: The kid started at sjj from his freshman year but it never was a primary pass offense. He has had attitude problems from my understanding. The 4 star kind of came from left field. No one saw it coming. If his head is on straight, it will be a huge get. Very good qb to replace Gillette. As a UT student I'm sad to see him leave the city but glad it wasnt for bg.


Input: [Date] 3 years 3 weeks ago [Title] To answer who won it last [Body]

Output: To answer who won it last year was Landon Collins. The guy that committed at the under armour game and his mom went all Kanye.

Output: I know my opinion means jack squat but of qb's in the 2014 class. ( Kizer, stewart, kinkade, and that key fella from Oklahoma) I really like what chance brings to the table the most. He has a big time arm, a huge Frame and will be able to operate very well behind the giant wall that we will call a line in a few years. He's my personal favorite and I hope he gets an offer.

Output: Not trying to be a dick but we had far from cooled on the kid. We were in it til he took his visit to auburn and then it was a done deal. The day he announced the blog acted like the sky was falling.

Output: Yes I like it. It's a whole new recruiting tool that you can sell a kid on. You want to be great like Woodson. Come to Michigan and see if you can put on the number 2 jersey. It gives these kids new goals to shoot for and it allows us to honor our past and praise our present at the same time.

Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Still think the coaches will [Body]

Output: Still think the coaches will be going pretty hard after Mathis and wouldn't be suprised at all if they got him. My final 3/4 would look like treadwell, green, Mathis, and a db that is either not talked about much or doesn't have an offer.


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Well as a tribe fan and [Body]

Output: Well as a tribe fan and someone who regularly goes to the games. The best time for autos is during bp. Which depending on the day is usually 2 hours before b4 but I haven't gone to bp since the 07 run. This years tribe is probably some of the nicest and coolest guys I've seen. (I played in a tournament at progressive and the players had an off day and actually showed up and talked to a bunch of us playing in it) I'm fairly confident they would sign for you. Being one of the first 15k shouldn't be a problem with the attendance # right now.

Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Title] sure [Body]

Output: Sure they could have lied, but we at least wanted to have evidence/info to back up our theory. If Michigan was playing in the game would you have believed it? Of course not, because you know everyone on this board would buy up all the extra tickets.


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Title] The research was to show that [Body]

Output: The research was to show that we had evidence. And that it is ridiculous to think the Big10 would put an ad on Craiglist to give away tickets to the Championship game. I'm sure most would agree that if Michigan was in the game, people on this board would every ticket they could get their hands on. Email addresses go for good money on the black market.


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: Yes, we responded to the add with a fake email address. We haven't received anything from them yet. We are really curious to see how long it takes before the fake email address we created starts getting tons of spam...


Input: [Date] 4 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Schools already have apps [Body]

Output: Schools already have apps like these that exists. Arkansas just released "The Petrino Plan" a few months ago. And the school has said that it was created to be a recruiting tool. Every coach has an ipad that they take with them when they visit a recruit's home and show em the app. Their app currently doesn't use "push notifications", but they could easily add those in.

Dunn on the other hand is the sleeper in my eyes....i think he will want to stick it to tOSU then back it up on the field.

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

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

Output: At Sapori Trattoria, an Italian restaurant in Lakeview Chicago. It's a delicious place. Was on a date and convinced my date to watch the comeback at the little bar there. Bartender was a Kansas fan. I remember telling him I was skeptical we could come back down 10, but he said he wasn't confident with any Kansas lead. He was right. I watched overtime on the screen over my dates shoulder. It was a wonderful night.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Or maybe he decided the sure [Body]

Output: Or maybe he decided the sure thing was better than holding a spot open for Brown. There's a difference between recruiting Brown, a theoretical one and done, and passing on talented players at the risk of coming up empty with Brown. If they locked Brown down earlier, he would have taken the spot. Just because a player is a 5 star talent-aka one and done-doesn't mean you pass on other possibilities out there. He recruited both Brown and Wagner with hopes of getting or or both, depending on how the situation plays out. We have one, Wagner. Beilein went outside his typecast mold by recruiting Brown, but made a judgment call to take Wagner. Probably for good reason.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 1 day ago [Title] When you're rookie of the [Body]

Output: When you're rookie of the year and then follow that up with two back to back all star seasons, with one season being an MVP season, one can see how he could be arrogant. But I guess his humility, combined with his trying childhood home environment make him an easy target for fan ridicule. Sorry his knees aren't holding up. I'm sure he loves the fact that his knees can't hold up in the last couple seasons.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Thank you Brady Hoke. Your [Body]

Output: Thank you Brady Hoke. Your commitment and dedication to the University and the players has been unparalleled. I thank you for your time and shouldering the burden of leading this Team for the last four years. Lord knows it was not easy. I wish you the best going forward. Good luck with all your endeavors.

Output: Congrats for Glenn. Great news! Hope he kicks ass, has a fun time, and makes Michigan proud.


Input: [Date] 51 weeks 4 days ago [Title] It will be interesting to see [Body]

Output: It will be interesting to see if Michigan coaches use Bunting this year as a purely pass catching TE. At 6'7, it would seem he might be useful on third downs. Given his experience at WR, Michigan could flank him out and use him as a big target. Then again, we have a lot more pass catching options than before. Then again, he is 6'7.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 days ago [Title] Couple things [Body]

Output: Does he know that Thomas Gordon was Michigan's other starting safety last season (or at least started most of the games)? Also, he conveniently forgets that Wilson was dropped in and out of the S lineup just as much as any of the other starters at S. That being said, I think we can be excited about Wilson too. He has improved each year and hopefully will put together an impressive season as an upperclassman. Also, I am not fully buying the Lewis supplanting Countess hype until we see more from Lewis in fall. Both Taylor and Countess have really good speed and, although smaller, are impressive athletes. I am slightly confused as to questioning their athleticism. Any attacks over the top had to do more with them getting beat on WR routes or moves, play calls, or just height issues rather than just any old WR with decent speed blowing right past them. Additionally, Countess rarely got beat during the season. It wasn't until Locket served him (and the other corners) up on a platter in the bowl game that we could say someone was blowing past Countess. Okay article and Nick generally does a solid job, but seems more like off-season speculation than anything particularly insightful.


Input: [Date] 1 year 1 week ago [Title] Gotcha. Yeah Randle is a [Body]

Output: Gotcha. Yeah Randle is a ridiculous player and athletic specimen. He was definitely bulling his way right to the basket. Going right through GRIII or around any of our bigger players we tried to match up with him.


Input: [Date] 1 year 1 week ago [Title] Agree with mostly everything [Body]

Output: Agree with mostly everything you said, but in regards to the UK game, so much of being bullied by them was an inability to keep their perimeter players in front of us on the defensive end. When UK's perimeter players blew past our defenders that requires Morgan or someone else to come over and defend. That allowed several UK forwards to have wide open dunk or put back attempts as the person guarding them was forced to rotate. It was a problem all year long. Hopefully defensive improvements from Caris, Irvin, and Walton on the perimeter will help keep more of the opposing team's perimeter players in front of them. That would help mitigate the defensive drop-off at the position. However, as you are apt to point out, Morgan was running the defense from his position, which Donnal will probably not be able to do this year. Might make it tougher for Caris, Irvin, and Walton to handle switches and the like. I guess we will see how it plays out. Morgan is a major loss. Hopefully Donnal can fill the void.

Output: No problem amigo. Good luck with the transition. I hope it goes well and you get to do some cool stuff.


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Title] Sorry, figured I would change [Body]

Output: Sorry, figured I would change it myself. Didn't think you would be on the mistake so quickly. And I concur. It would be cool to be able to keep tabs on fellow Michigan alums and what they are doing in the Metro Detroit area. Hopefully, it is something we will continue to see grow.

Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Title] Functionally, I think Isaac [Body]

Output: Functionally, I think Isaac is a 2014 recruit at this point if he gets the RS. Nonetheless, probably means we are only taking 1 RB in this class, which is fine.


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Title] Irving? I believe he is [Body]

Output: Irving? I believe he is already on the Cavs.


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Title] As the other posters said, we [Body]

Output: As the other posters said, we have a better chance with Roseboro. Additionally, the coaches had Roseboro ticketed as a SDE from the get go but expected Cornell to be a WDE. Once Cornell started growing into more of a SDE, maybe that changed the coaches perspective on Cornell and his abilities. It's better to focus on a guy we have a chance with versus a guy who doesn't seem to interested anymore. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Roseboro plays FB/RB on his team too which would indicate he has decent athleticism and mobility. Plus, I am sure much of Roseboro's weight isn't good weight and he will shed plenty of pounds when he enters a college strengthening and conditioning program.


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Title] Michigan's depth chart, when [Body]

Output: Michigan's depth chart, when Weber would step on campus, will (most likely) read: Junior: Green, Smith, Johnson Sophomore: Isaac and Douglas That's 5 RB's with no seniors. Granted, Michigan will probably only be taking one RB in this class whereas MSU seems to be taking two and MSU has several other RB's on it's roster too, so the numbers look relatively even. I would just hesitate to say that this development is what puts us over the top in winning the recruiting battle for Weber. It will most certainly help and might help lessen MSU's focus on Weber, but how Michigan continues to rebuild its relationship with Weber will be more important.


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Title] I wouldn't say that's the [Body]

Output: I wouldn't say that's the most likely scenario. MSU landing Scott probably does help Michigan, but I think Michigan continuing to develop a relationship with Weber is more important. I think the effect of a school landing another recruit at the same position is overstated, depending on what the depth chart looks like and depending on whether the recruit has specifically expressed a desire to be the only recruit in his class. If we end up landing Weber, this is probably only a minor reason it happens. If Weber is feeling MSU, I wouldn't put it past him to commit there even though MSU already landed Scott.


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Title] Shitty recruiting? [Body]

Output: Have you been following Hoke's recruiting? Patience. Hoke's first full recruiting class is just hitting maturation. We should see that bounce back year you are referring to.


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Title] Slight correction: Devin [Body]

Output: Slight correction: Devin would have been a RS FR in 2011. Regardless, we played really well that year as you are correct to point out.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] As others have mentioned, it [Body]

Output: As others have mentioned, it seemed like we were losing a lot of ground on most of our QB recruits. There seemed to be a lot of general interest in the 2015 class but no one seemed like they wanted to jump on board. Do you think patience and some more targetted interest at some of the remaining targets would have led to success with another recruit? The DeWeaver offer is the one that seems too soon. He seems like he has a lot of potential but with a prospect that seems to still be developing, it would seem prudent to see how he continues to develop. Maybe the situation resembles Beilein with recruits where the coaches are looking at kids who are still developing and trying to project talent and physical skills a couple years down the road. Obviously basketball recruiting is very different. Magnus, has there been any word on whether the coaches have stopped recruiting other 2016 QB's? All the general recruiting evaluations seem to keep mentioning Costello, Henry, and a few others. Does the strategy seem lock DeWeaver down early so we have a QB in the 2016 class and then swing for the fences with a higher rated prospect who could come in and not need to RS? Then we could RS DeWeaver and give him more time to develop. Just a thought.

Output: Seth, so sorry to hear this. You and your family have my thoughts and condolences.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] Additionally [Body]

Output: He also struggled a lot in pass coverage, particularly covering TE's. I cannot remember where I was reading it, but someone in the Michigan blogosphere was writing about how offenses learned to take advantage of Ross' aggressiveness. Building on his experience from last season, hopefully he can make fewer mistakes, make a few more big plays, and continue making the necessary and boring plays that he does.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] Everybody. But seriously, [Body]

Output: Everybody. But seriously, probably Henry, Lewis, Wilson, Magnuson, and Glasgow. Any of Ross, RJS, or Bolden could too. It will be interesting to see how Pipkins, Darboh, and Butt come back from injury. With the 2012 recruiting class finally becoming upperclassmen, we could see a lot. Going to be interesting.

Input: [Date] 16 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I was wondering what the heck the rule is there. We know that if you land on top of another player you're not down. But does landing on the in-bounds portion of a player who is half out-of-bounds mean that you're out-of-bounds too? This is a burning question, I tell you. [Title]

Output: I was wondering what the heck

Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Fair question. I guess because it feels a bit to me like our initial instinct is to hope the guy assigns a higher priority to Michigan football than he does to the well-being of his family. Don't get me wrong: I don't think anyone here would straight-facedly express that view. But the combination of our obsessive fandom and the continuation of this process appears at times to affect our ability to think with anything other than our lizard brains. [Title]

Input: [Date] 39 weeks 1 hour ago [Body] What I'm finding tiresome in some of the more national commentary is this idea that if the football team were 7-1 or 8-0, nobody would have been calling for Brandon (or Hoke) to go. That's a bad argument. Our football team is bad because our (thankfully former) AD and (probably future former) head football coach just haven't been all that good at their jobs. Letting people who aren't good at their jobs go is kind of how the world works, for better or worse. Even at the top of the food chain. [Title]

Input: [Date] 44 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Brian, if there's blood trickling from the corners of your eyes, which I think is a real possibility after the amount of time you had to spend watching this shit show, please go to the hospital. Also crying is a totally acceptable and even cathartic reaction to things that make you irretrievably bummed out. Just FYI. [Title]

Output: Brian, if there's blood


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 1 day ago [Body] There's logic to what you're saying, but I think the leash needs to be pretty short. I'll admit that my thinking is colored by the fact that I'll be pretty disappointed if the coaches start Morris on Saturday. DG has been shaky, to be sure. But I think he gives the team a better chance to win than SM. SM hasn't exactly blown us away with his in-game performances, even against lesser competition. [Title]

Output: There's logic to what you're


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Goodell is getting taxed on his stupidly high salary, a lot of it at the highest marginal tax rates. So there are taxes being paid. And expenses related to palatial offices are deductible even in the for-profit context. There are so, so many reasons to criticize the league. This isn't one of them. [Title]

Output: Goodell is getting taxed on


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I'm both left-leaning and not a fan of the NFL as an organization. The league is dysfunctional, hypocrtical, and opposed to accountability on just about every conceivable issue. But I think this tax exempt argument is baloney. League-level revenue (for stuff like licensing etc.) gets passed through to the teams, which are not tax exempt, and the players, who pay (or should pay) income taxes. Goodell gets his (exorbitant, preposterous) salary and he pays taxes on that. There's taxation happening here. It's just not happening at the level where there isn't actual taxable income. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Body] This is America and the First Amendment protects your ability to spend time crafting whatever wrong-headed written expression catches your fancy. But I'd have thought that after hanging around here for two and a half years (at least), you'd realize that posting a critical comment about a post in which Brian expresses misgivings about things that bother him would be at least a small-ish waste of your time. Nobody makes you read Brian's stuff. Nobody makes you pay for it. If you want blind boosterism of the football program and the gameday experience with no self-reflection or critical analysis, I'd respectfully suggest that you're in the wrong place. [Title]

But we should take some solace in what LaVall Jordan was able to accompish with Morris, Burke, and Douglass. Jordan develops talent. No -- actually he develops the LIVING HELL out of talent. And I suspect that he'll continue to do so whether we sign this Spike person or the kid from Italy. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 31 weeks ago [Body] My slightly counter-intuitive take is that this might not be the worst thing in the world for Meyer. The scholarship reductions aren't crippling. The postseason ban is actually a benefit. It gives him a free year to install new schemes without much in the way of consequence. Now he can go 6-6 or even 5-7 next year and only the nitwits will be calling for his head. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I doubt Mike Brown's Lakers are going to run the triangle, so they do suddently need a pure PG. Right now they have Derek Fisher, who is as old as time and a shell of his former self after protracted CBA negotiations, and Steve Blake, who remains Steve Blake. If Darius has continued to develop and Mike Brown is willing to play a rookie, Darius could find himself playing meaningful minutes. [Title]

Output: I doubt Mike Brown's Lakers


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I'd scrap the current fetid mess and start over with: *Eight 15-team geographic divisions. The big challenge here is parity, but it can be done. *Ten game regular season, with two non-division games (and no FCS games; though they could be played in exhibitions before the start of the regular season). *Take the eight division winners and put them in a three round playoff, with the first two rounds located at higher seeded schools and the final round at a rotating neutral site. Seeding could be based on straight record and score differential (a la the Premiership). *Those that don't make the "tournament" can still qualify for whatever bowl games are profitable enough to remain extant. This will never happen. I understand that. [Title]

I can't think of anyone in the conference who has anything approaching his hops. Thank goodness that medicine has advanced to the point where kids can come back from this sort of thing without losing a whole lot. If Mbakwe adds a jump shot while he's working his way into shape, he'll play meaningful minutes at the next level. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Body] That Saban has done it prompts a lot of us to forget how hard it is for college coaches to walk away from programs they built and then reenter the coaching ranks a year or three later. Everyone talks about Meyer having that oil painting of Woody in his house. He might want to put another one of Saban up next to it. Because the alternative scenario is Steve Spurrier (who's having an admittedly good year, but after a bunch of 8-4 mediocrity). Or Lou Holtz. And look at the NFL: Parcells isn't sporting a bunch of Super Bowl rings from his stint with the Cowboys, nor Holmgren with the Seahawks, or Gibbs with the 'Skins the 2d time around. I'm sure there are a zillion other examples. We all care about this game so much -- too much? -- and that prompts us to look for ready-made super saviors. But the legends, the guys with statues and stadiums named after them, they tend to be the guys who start with nothing, or near nothing, and put something special together brick by brick. Your move, Coach Meyer. [Title]

Output: History


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Body] There are some twitter rumblings suggesting the final sticking point might be Meyer's supposed request that Ohio relax its academic/admission standards [insert snarky comment about not being aware of any such standards here]. I haven't seen this discussed elsewhere in the thread. I'd like to say that this would be yet another PR disaster, but that's wishful thinking. Urban Meyer is, after all, Urban Meyer. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 36 weeks ago [Body] He'll do well for three reasons. (1) Chip Kelly et al. are proof that his offense can be wildly successful in conference. (2) He's a gifted recruiter and he'll have no trouble convincing kids to come to Tucson. (3) I may be going out on a limb here, but I doubt that he'll be bringing gerg with him. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] I'm sure it's been noted elsewhere, but I wonder whether the wind affected the game plan yesterday w/r/t dealing with their D-line. I could see Borges et al. having a bunch of bubble screens planned but then scrapping or limiting them at the last minute after getting blown half to hell during warmups. Last minute adjustments could also explain why we flirted with delay penalties for a lot of the day. [Title]

Output: I think you could apply all of the same logic of past trends and records, recruting, ppg averages and so on to Hoke before he was hired. Oh...wait...I think someone did do that...And yet; 40-34, 10-2, potential BCS bowl, outside shot at number 1 recruiting class, etc. What statistical analysis would have predicted this before Hoke was hired? Meyer can coach. He's won everywhere he's been. TSIO will spare no expense to support him. It's gonna be fun. Two coaches with an intense understanding of the rivalry will hopefully restore it to the competitve balance of it's glory years. Or at the very worse a 1990's redux. (And I'm not against statistical analysis in general, I just don't think that parsing numbers looking to allay fears of a number one rival hiring a great coach is the best use of it.)

I'm more excited for him that he has one of his players commit than I am for Blue to get their first player for 2012. Great news all around. I hope Ben has a great career!

Output: I think it was during the second quarter that they showed portions of Brock's walk, and then interviewed him on the sideline. The ABC coverage didn't start until 3:30, and I think the team was on the field at that point. During the latter stages of the game I realized that I hadn't noticed any piped-in music. Your mention of a Journey song was the first evidence that there was any. How was the mic-ed band? Was there a drop in piped-in music?

Output: I remember after he was hired a WVU offensive playbook made the rounds. "Spot the Ball" was terminology for the offense to line up ready to play at the spot of the ball and start of the 25 second clock. If I recall correctly, "Spot the Ball" was one of the phrases that went up in the weight room back when the upgrades came together in early '08.


Input: [Date] 5 years 21 weeks ago [Title] Getzlaf, Rosby, Yzerman et all... [Body]

Output: Getzlaf is that douchey guy at the bar who thinks he is the shit cause he is making seven figures, even though he is balding with faux-Ohno facial pubes. His post-NHL role on Jersey Shore is calling. That he is going bald is scientific evidence of karma if ever there was any. Rosby is Rosby. Versus and NBC pull out their kneepads early and have their storyline for the next six months; it's Rosby's world, we just live in it. Yzerman FTG. Can't argue with that. Sacrifices taste to assemble a gold medal winning team. Super hard to root for the Western Conference A-Hole All-Stars, but at least he got it done for his county. Bad news is that now he'll probably leave the Wings to take a GM position with another team this summer.

Input: [Date] 5 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Ernie [Body]

Output: When I was in middle school, my family would leave early for spring break to go stay in Lakeland for spring training. We stayed at the same hotel as the Tigers and everything. I have distinct memories of Willie Hernandez wearing a three piece suit to breakfast at the hotel restaurant, Cecil Fielder and his Nissan Pathfinder, and seeing Mike Henneman just about everywhere. My brother and I were total autograph hounds, and we'd arrive early to meet the players and get signatures on cards and balls. It felt like Ernie was just about everywhere. Always super gracious with his time and talking to everyone who was around. I remember him spending a lot of time talking with my mom and dad, while my brother and I chased Tigers with Sharpie's, cards, and baseballs. He chatted with everyone who was there, and I couldn't imagine how many people he spoke to during the course of spring training. I had one ball in particular that was riddled with signatures. Mostly it was covered with second and third tier players, but here and there you could find Trammell or Sparky written in there. Forget about Cecil. He was impossible to get, although my 5-year old sister somehow managed to get a 5-year old Prince Fielder autograph. But right in the sweet spot was Ernie. While he signed he asked us how school was going, where in Michigan we were from, what positions we played, and so on. Even as a snot nosed middle school puke, I could appreciate what a great guy he was. "Michigan's Grandpa," indeed! This was about the time of "Bo Don't Know Ernie." (I still have that bumper sticker packed away somewhere.) Bo was also everywhere around Lakeland, more often than not, sitting in the stands with the fans at Joker Marchant Stadium. I remember that conventional wisdom around West Michigan was that Bo had lost it. Here he'd just fired Ernie, and there was a lot of chatter before his retirement that he needed to go so that UM could compete for more national championships under Mo. There was a LOT of that chatter after Mo coached them to a bowl victory in '88. I remember my dad nudging me in Bo's direction and telling me to go ask him for an autograph. Heck, I was TERRIFIED of Bo. I'd seen enough games to know his demeanor. Plus, he reminded me of my grandpa, and I didn't like badgering him with requests, either. Eventually I summed up the courage to go ask him to sign my baseball, and he did, right in the sweet spot. He didn't bark or growl at me, and instead gave me that look that my own grandpa gave me which was somehow reassuring and slightly unnerving all at once. In the three years that our family went down there, and with all of the signatures on that ball, somehow the second sweet spot had never been signed. Not until Bo put his pen there that humid night. To make a long story longer, I have a baseball signed by both Bo and Ernie, in opposite sweet spots, from the height of "Bo Don't Know Ernie" era. Later that summer we flew to Boston to watch the Tigers at Fenway and to tool around Boston for a weekend. Through a complete accident, we ended up at the same hotel as the Tigers. We didn't realize it until we walked into the lobby and heard, "I haven't seen you guys since Lakeland! Glad you could make it out here for a game!" It was Ernie.


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] ESPN Live? [Body]

Output: If I have an X-Box, is it going to be on ESPN Live regardless of where I live? (I'm in phoenix, so I think I'm getting UT normally)


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Title] Not a big Lion's fan... [Body]

Output: but I teach at the high school that Dion went to out in Arizona. I spot at the football games as well, and while I have no great insight on what kind of pro he will be, I hope he makes it. What he went through his senior with the burns he suffered (if you've never read the story, here's a link, http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl--perseverance-leads-oregon-s-dion-jordan-to-brink-of-nfl-after-accident-almost-ended-his-dream-023331504.html) and how it affected his recruitment really makes me want to see the kid succeed. I've never heard anything but good about him from the people who worked with him...


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Title] while you're entitled to your opinion.... [Body]

Output: Your mindset about the popularity of soccer isn't current...MLS's average attendance is the 4th best of any US pro league...it's ahead of the NHL among others... You're not making me mad or anything, I just want to make sure that people who haven't made up their mind on the issue yet have the right info...


Input: [Date] 3 years 43 weeks ago [Title] So... [Body]

Output: I teach high school English (we're actually in class now...shhh...don't tell), so I've read a lot of this list, and I have taught Eyes. It's not my favorite to be sure (that'd be Grapes of Wrath...don't even get me started on how absolutely perfect that book is...which is why I was crushed that Staples gives it to OU on the most ridiculously obvious/surface level comparison)...ours is kinda a superficial comparison as well...what might have been better is to discuss how for years Eyes was ignored (our loss of our past stature) , and only when a devotee of the book, Alice Walker, (Brady Hoke) traveled back to literally the author's grave (return to past tradition) , did the book takes it's "rightful" place in the canon (our return to prominence)


Input: [Date] 3 years 46 weeks ago [Title] Maybe it was just out in the AZ ... [Body]

Output: where I was at someone else's house (but not yours)....but I thought the 7 nation army thing was ridiculous (in a good way...as the kids are saying today "it was sick")...I was adamantly against rawk (I am former MMB) until I saw that, but that did work...


Input: [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Title] and.... [Body]

Output: A: Alabama B: Stanford C: TCU D:ND E: USC unranked: Texas


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] This is a bit different than what you want... [Body]

Output: but from my past knowledge of the prem, these are pretty accurate...it actually has piqued my interest in following Everton http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6847160/premier-league-preview


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Lloyd's last game [Body]

Output: I'm no huge lloyd fan, and I thought it was time for him to go...but the way the team played for him that last game against a team that was probably better in almost every respect (if I remember right on ESPN sportsnation, something like 91% of the country picked the Gators to win)...it wasn't that we won...it was that those young men showed the character and even dignity that I hope everyone who goes to U of M stands for, athlete or not...they never gave up...they were playing for something larger than themselves...not even just Lloyd, but what he stood for...what the block M stands for...(and that Arrington catch is still one of my clearest memories of a single play I have...)


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Derrick Alexander... [Body]

Output: I was in band when he was there and he was dating someone in the band for a bit...she always called him "poom poom"...I know it was never public...and lord knows it's a good thing it wasn't...but my wife and I still call him that, even in the mid 00s when he always seemed to wind up on at least one fantasy football team I had....


Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Ricky Powers... [Body]

Output: came to U of M my freshman year and just tore it up. He had been a huge recruiting get (he was the #1 rb in the nation and I think the #1 recruit overall to some)...then something just happened...some thought it was the switch from a fast track (our articifical turf) to a slow one (the natural grass)...others that he plateaued...but everyone else got better and he didn't...my wife interviewed him for a class in journalism (back when U of M still had a journalism major) when he was senior and pretty much an occasional contributor...she was so impressed by him as a person and how he was able to deal with what, for many such recruits, would have been unfathomable...he didn't blame or lash out...he just was. I have often wondered about him and glad to see he landed on his feet...in many ways, I am as proud of him as of any Michigan player of my four years in a squared.


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Title] OK...I'm old, but.... [Body]

Output: 2 traditional chocies: Trading Places (My far and away #1...nothing else is even close) Fast Times at Ridgemont High 2 that no one else but me will probably pick, but whatever... Saved Death to Smoochy


Input: [Date] 4 years 16 weeks ago [Title] nah....i suck at this [Body]

Output: Maybe because I hardly ever make it back to a squared and have never done blast from the past I just can't figure either for sure...I've narrowed it 2 or 3 for each of you, but I'm stumped...really my memory sucks, don't be offended... give me your initials and I'll pull the year books out of the attic tonight and check...


Input: [Date] 4 years 16 weeks ago [Title] OK...I keep trying to figure out who the hell you all are [Body]

Output: Obviously we've got some MMB alumni here and I keep trying to figure out which ones of you were there when I was and who I know. I marched from 89-92 (rosebowl, gator bowl, rose bowl, rose bowl...beat that suckas....)...trumpet player...ranks 6 and 7... Side note...my wife is an ex MMB twirler; the twirler auditions used to be way more pressure...no gaurantee at all you were marching just because you were in the band...I don't know if that was better or worse...


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Title] This message brought to you by the plow king... [Body]

Output: Senor Plow no es macho, es solamente un borracho...


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Title] The timing of this.... [Body]

Output: would make some sense. We've all been wondering why Hoke's waited so long on DC. If he was, out of courtesy, waiting until after the Ravens' playoff run it would at least give a reason for the delay...not that that means I think it definitely will happen, but it would explain some things....


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Any other day of the year.... [Body]

Output: I'd agree, but not this game....ESPN has so many resources on the ground in AZ and so much time and money on this moment that we'd be just a blurb between personal interest stories about how nobody wanted Clay Matthews and Oregon's wacky play call signs...If we announce it two days from now we control a 24 hour cycle and have tons of resources that now have a lot less to do foucesed on us
