Input: [Date] 2 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Did you forget that when [Body]

Output: Did you forget that when UNC & DUKE won there recent titles (2009/2010) both programs were arguably the #1 ranked team going into the tournament? Did you forget that in 2011 DUKE won the conference championship before winning the title? If you lived in the triangle long enough you should also know that being called the #1 ranked school is kind of a big deal... helps in recruiting and more importantly it helps the rivalry. UNC/Duke are great academic institutions and are always contending for a national championship in basketball, but an honest assement (unbiased) is that UNC fans tend to be more knowledgable about there program than Duke fans. Your post is the perfect example why.

Input: [Date] 1 week 12 hours ago [Body] I've had a couple of classes with the guy, and I can say he's 100% the kind of guy you want to root for. Really kind, polite, smart, and responsible. Makes an effort to introduce himself to everyone and contribute in class, and takes things more seriously than most non-athletes I've seen. And not in a "good by athlete standards" way either, he would have no problem being a top student without the scholarship. Anyway figured I would share since a lot of times what you see of these guys on TV isn't really how they act in person. Jehu's a great dude. [Title]

Other than that I work out a lot, and alternate between being into different activities like running, boxing, etc. Those figures look great, by the way.

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 6 days ago [Body] One big difference to my understanding: In rugby, you can give up an extra yard or two without any major consequences. As such, players are much less likely to go for the head-first "big hit" that stops the ballcarrier in his tracks. In football, an extra yard or two can make all the difference, and players are taught to tackle as such. Not to mention that rugby has its own major concussion issue going on right now. I wouldn't exactly look to that sport to model after. [Title]

Output: One big difference to my


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Good lord. I cannot for the life of me understand why people are so emotionally invested in talking politics on a sports blog. I agree that that post shouldn't have been locked - it should have been deleted. Yeah Harbaugh was tangentially involved in the whole thing - that doesn't make it an appropriate subject for a sports blog. If Harbaugh told people to go out and vote, should we have some huge discussion on the relative merits of the presidential candidates? Hell, this is a UofM sports blog, and UofM is a public university (i.e. part of the state of Michigan), maybe we should have a "Thoughts on Governer Snyder" post stickied on the MGoBoard? The first post about his tweet was toeing the line as is. This past post pretty clearly past it in my opinion. The No Politics rule is a damn good one, as evidenced by what happens in every single goddamn political post on this blog. If you want to talk politics, you can very easily go elsewhere to do so.

Input: [Date] 19 weeks 5 days ago [Body] It's an amazing album. GKMC was, for me at least, one of the all-time greats, and I wouldn't quite say the same thing about Butterfly (yet anyway). But it's still amazing. "u" had me in tears. Hearing Pac on the outro made my jaw drop. I'm just gonna repost my reddit comment on the subject: It really is an immensely dense album. Unlike GKMC it doesn't really have one unifying theme, but many - black culture, self esteem, the "pimping" of rap artists and black culture generally by America.... If I had one bone to pick it would be that the meaning is so convoluted at times that it doesn't always land as well as I feel it should. There are some songs like u (Kendrick's best in my opinion) and Blacker the Berry that are just so raw and emotional, they're incredible. But there are others on the album that left me somewhat underwhelmed, if only because they were so difficult to decipher. This isn't necessarily a bad thing - having more to digest can be good too - but it does detract from the overall feel at times and for me it's the difference between a 9/10 and a 10/10. [Title]

Output: It's an amazing album. GKMC


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 5 days ago [Body] If that album made you feel on top of the world you weren't listening very closely. No offense.... Outside of "i" the bulk of the album is depressing or at the very least darkly political. [Title]

The student section is full of rowdy 18-22 year olds, and as a student myself I can't say I see many adults there. If you can just own it and have fun in that sort of environment then absolutely go for it, but if you have hangups about standing all game and getting some weird looks from drunk students, those are probably legitimate hangups. Just my $.02 [Title]

He looked good in this video, it's nice to see that he still has that great arm he came in with, despite how bad he looked the past two years. I still think his biggest challenges are going to be decision making and consistency in his throws, which we obviously can't glean from a video like this. Still, he looked good. [Title]

I'm 100% of the belief that this was ridiculously immature behavior and those involved deserve whatever punishment they have coming... but I do believe at this point that Treetops (which is going through a bankruptcy) is just trying to make a buck off of them.

Watching my friend's life, marriage, financial situation and relationships (including the one with myself) be strained and sometimes ruined is not worth the chance for $20MM. Now, give me 10 FREE THROWS and you've got a different story!

I'd like Harbaugh to bring the same intensity to our rivalry with OSU (and MSU) for that matter, and I think he does and will. We got our Mojo back.

Input: [Date] 29 weeks 6 days ago [Title] RichRod = Class [Body]

Output: I actually gained a lot of appreciation or RichRod a few weeks ago. A good friend of mine who went to Arizona (but grew up in AA and is an M fan) went back to Tucson with a bunch of college buddies to see the M - Arizona Game. They honored RichRod's team and Scooby Wright at half time for their great season. Of course, the game was a blowout win for Arizona. The next day my buddy and his friends (who are non M fans) were walking around campus and ran into RichRod. They talked to him for a while and asked him how happy he was about the beating that the AZ BBall team gave Michigan the day prior...his response was something like "Yeah, it was cool to see our boys win but Michigan's coach is my boy" Liked hearing that.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] Raback It [Body]

Output: The whole Raback thing started one February during the RichRod Days when RichRod was recruiting Florida hard. I believe it was 2010. There was a lot of excitment (both positive and negative) around Demar Dorsey and the type of player that RichRod was recruiting to Michigan. Most people said that we didn't have that much of a chance with Dorsey, even up until the very end - the fact that he is Denard's cousin helped, but most people expected him to stay down south and not make the treck up to Michigan. I at one point said "I have a better chance of fornicating with Megan Fox than Demar coming to Michigan" At the time, I had a brother that went to UofM who had some very good friends on the football team - he lived with three of them. Not star players, but certainly solid contributors who's names are well known to most Michigan observers. He would always give me the inside scoop - and aside from Brandon Smith being a "beast" (LOL,) most of it was true. Anyway, on the eve of commitment day, my brother's friend overheard Denard tell RichRod that his "cousin" was coming....word traveled to me, and of course I made the prophetic prediction that he would commit. Chaos ensued. It was fun to watch though and still to this day I love hearing about "Rabacking it" on this board. Unfortunately the lore of Demar Dorsey at Michigan stopped there - I would've loved to see him in a winged helmet.

Input: [Date] 1 year 7 weeks ago [Title] Toronto [Body]

Output: I was born and raised in Toronto but moved stateside when I was 13 - Still go back to see family 5x a year. Always wondered why Toronto didn't produce much basketball talent and have always wanted Michigan to recruit more in the Toronto area - felt it was a great fit geographically and the name recognition was there. Saw it with Amaker and Jevohn Shepard, but would've loved to see them make it more of a priority. That said, Toronto Basketball is really taking off righ now - the population is there as one of the largest cities in North America. Huge international population as well as a huge Caribbean population as well (most of the residents in Toronto of African Canadian descent are actually from the Islands.) Obviously the Raptors had something to do with it, but it's great to see it happen to my hometown. Toronto is starting to make a name for itself as one of the best basketball factories in North America. Certainly better than Detroit right now, which I used to consider one of the best per capita talent producers in North America.

Input: [Date] 1 year 12 weeks ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: As much as I hate Sterling's comments, and as disgusting as they were, they were made in private to a personal acquiantance. The tape was released without him knowing and surely there was malice involved in the motive for releasing the tape. Nobody is perfect and I am sure that there are many, many people associated with the NBA that have bigger skeletons in their closet than Donald Sterling. Yes, he has a history of being a racist dickbag - this is and was well known to everyone. He is the longest serving owner in the league, yet his racist dickbag-ness throughout the years did not cause any issues for Donald Stern, the media, the players and the rest of the owners. So Yes - I believe that the NBA has opened up a can of worms. The hypocrisy involved in this whole fiasco for this league is ridiculous. Everyone wants to act like a moral tough-guy when the issue is staring them right in the face, but when it's under the blanket and doesn't need to be dealt with, then nobody wants to do anything. This was merely a PR move for the NBA, nothing more. It was going to hurt the revenue and was merely a business decision.


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Title] This is Ridiculous [Body]

Output: I'm the last guy to make escuses for a college scholarship athlete doing stupid things, certainly because I believe that Rules are Rules and that the scholarship and playing in the program is a privilege, not a right.....but this is ridiculous. A college kid smoked weed....and it nets a 1 year ban? The mist hypocritical organization in sports.


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Title] I expected a lot [Body]

Output: Because people told me that it was an amazing place and I HAD to go there while I was out east. I wasn't expecting Gourmet, but I was certainly expecting something on par or better than a place like 5 guys. Side by side, I think 5 guys wins hands down. I would say Halo Burger is even better.


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Title] Hunter House is OK [Body]

Output: Just don't think they differentiate themselves really from any other greasy burger joint. On a side note, I had my first "In N Out" experience last week in San Diego....not sure if it was what I ordered, but what's all the fuss about? I was thoroughly unimpressed.


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Title] He Tested Positive for Steroids [Body]

Output: And the program caught it before the leaugue did, which allowed them to suspend him without having to dilvulge the reason. This is the only logical explanation - If it were a crime he committed, I could only see Dantonio suspending him for something serious when there's a Rose Bowl at stake. There was no documentation of any criminal matter anywhere, so it doesnt appear that a crime was committed. If Dantonio would've allowed him to play after a failed PED test, or if the league caught it, then the team and program's reputation would've been questioned. Suspending him was necessary and was the right thing to do.


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Title] I wish him the best [Body]

Output: But count me as someone who thought that he did a poor job representing the program. I give him the benefit of the doubt because in the end he was just a kid (a big one at that,) but his maturity was lacking. Best of luck to him and hope that he is a better ambassador for the school in the NFL.

Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Title] Mitch McGary [Body]

Output: I'm torn on Mitch McGary on coming out. On the one hand, he hasn't really played all that much in his career, so coming back - especially due to the stacked draft class this year, should be a good thing. He can really establish himself with a good year next year. On the other hand, he is old in terms of NBA Draftees. Additionally, if he came back next year and injured his back AGAIN - he would be really screwed. I think he has the toughest choice of all.


Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Title] Embarrassed and Ashamed [Body]

Output: I am a lifelong michigan fan and graduate. Love our school and athletic programs, esp football. I always can keep my head up high through the ups and downs.... Through The Horror, 3-9, losing to Sparty etc, I could always stay positive, stick up for my school and have a rebuttal for all the shit talkers. I cannot today. I am very embarrassed and ashamed of our school, athletic director and coaches. I can't and won't argue how it happened, who knew, if he did what he was accused of etc, but I will say that it was flat out handled terribly and wrong. Bottom line. I am ashamed to call myself a Michigan fan and will absolutely have no rebuttal for anyone that criticizes the program regarding this. It is absolutely absurd and frankly makes me sick. No excuses. Sounds like the high horse just got a lot lighter with the "Michigan Man" on it.


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Title] Valenti & Foster [Body]

Output: I will go on record as saying that I have always liked their program throughout the years. Despite Valenti being somewhat of an MSU fanboy, I felt he was always fair in his criticism and his praise when it came to MSU and UofM. He's always been good radio and entertaining to listen to. Having said that, something happened over the past 18-24 months that changed things - perhaps it's MSU's rise in football which has given him the confidence to really come out as fanboy, because he is over the top in his picking, criticism and antagonization of UofM - - to the point where it's obvious and really bad radio. He's definitely in Drew Sharp territory. I know that they do that type of stuff to get ratings, but it's "jumped the shark" in my mind - to the point that they have lost a level headed, fair and balanced listener who used to enjoy their show. It's been an obvious decline over the past couple years that has really gotten me.


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Title] Taylor Lewan [Body]

Output: Not to temper everyone's excitement, but I specifically remember this exact same topic being asked about 12 months ago when Lewan announced he was coming back. Just playing devil's advocate here. But overall, I am happy with the move to fire Borges and hire the New OC. Although I dont know much about him, any guy that spent his last two years at Bama is fine with me.


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Title] Thank You [Body]

Output: Sucking up I am not - I would never do that to any rival, let alone Sparty. But give credit where credit is due? Sure.....sure, our program is light years in accolades and reputation ahead of theres. But at some point you are what you put on the field - Sparty has had a nice run the past few years, and have steamrolled us several times in the process. Not much you can say against that right now.


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Title] Yikes [Body]

Output: I am a big college football fan, but far from an insider or knowledgable football IQ guy. Having said that, I have always liked Charlie Strong very much - what little I do know about him says to me that he is an excellent hire not just for them, but for any program. Weird that they would say this, but realistically who would they be happy with? Anyone less than Saban or Lombardi would probably be viewed as a step down in their eyes. Best of luck Charlie.


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Title] LOL @ Sparty? [Body]

Output: Look, I can't stand MSU just as much as the next guy, and certainly cannot stand their football fans, especially during this recent run of success - But can we temper the "LOL Sparty" stuff a little bit? They just completed a dream season, one that we would've killed for, and ended up a meaningless #3 other than a meaningless #2 - the difference in one spot isn't going to kill their program, I am sure of that. Attitudes like that towards Michigan State is a trait that is one major reason why many others, as well as myself, cannot stand our own fan base. Let's pat them on the back, congratulate and push forward to better times when the tables turn back in our favor.

Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Title] Whatever...I'm over it. [Body]

Output: While I would still like to get and keep the toprecruits out there, I've seen more than enough top recruits flame out/turn into busts and lowly rated recruits turn into stars to not really care anymore. We're lucky enough that even in the worst case scenario, the recruits that we can attract here are much better than most programs can attain. At this point it's about getting good players that fit our system and building depth so Freshmen are Reshirted, dont hit the field until at earliest their RS Sophomore year and winning games. That's how you build programs - I hate to say it, but MSU is a great example of this. Depth at every position on the field and in turn the cream of the crop rises to the top of the depth chart.r


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I don't ever want to see a Michigan/osu rematch. It would take away the importance of the game which has made and broken the season of both teams so offen in the past. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Pipkins is a grown man. He was looked after by a doctor. If a doctor cleared him to play and pipkins feels he can play, then he should play. Harbaugh isn't a doctor and doesn't know how he feels. If Saban did this all you guys would be having a fit. Everyone here has a stiffy (including me) cuz harbaugh is now the coach so you're afraid to say anything negative about the guy. He wants to play for Michigan, let him fucking play for Michigan.

Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Body] My buddy and I go to one home game and one road game every year. Last year we went to the nebraska game. After losing to Michigan State I wasnt very excited about going. but once I drove the 9 hours to get there and sat in the big house it reminds me how much I love michigan and Ann Arbor. Maybe it's different if you live close to Ann Arbor, but no matter how bad things are going, I know that once I arrive I will have a smile on my face. Im making the 9 hour drive next Friday for the Penn state game with a very pregnant wife and It will be awesome to see those winged helmets and sing the victors. Hopefully without Hoke. Go Blue!

Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] I so sick of this site censoring every little thing worth talking about. Isn't there a way to delete the nasty posts, and let the interesting ones go. If you must lock a topic, why cant you at least leave a majority of the posts while not allowing any more replies so people can follow some of the debate. We cant be critical of the coaching staff, can't ever be critical of any recruit no matter how selfish they act or what they say, or if they take pics of stacks of cash or pose with bongs. You might as well just write what we should all think and forget the board, because its getting beyond ridiculous. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] As an ISU grad i can say that's not all true. Our basketball program doesnt suck, football program has grown a lot in the past decade, our women's sports are good, and iowa state has great vet, engineering, business, computer, and ag programs. Not a lot of eyeballs agreed, but there's still a lot ISU could offer the big ten. Our fan base bought all or just about all the allotted tickets to a bad bowl game against an opponent they already beat. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] I went to both games the last two years. Many more neb. fans in ann arbor than michigan fans in lincoln. I had the unfortunate pleasue of sitting next to a neb. fan who was also a spartan grad. He wasn't too horrible but you knew from sitting next to him that something just wasnt right. I think the tailgating is about the worst along with iowa city. Fans overall were nice. I did find it funny though I ran into the same husker fan outside the stadium twice who kept swearing and telling me to take off my michigan jersey. I asked a lot of neb fans last year ( including my father) how they were treated in Ann Arbor, and all of them said michigan fans treated them fine and they liked being in ann arbor. good all around fan experience i think for both fan bases.

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Body] It did? Please explain what point I missed. Brand recognition matters to an extent. Winning and player development matter more. The end. Harvard has great brand recognition. That data point means next to nothing without a competent football team to go along with it. But MSU is doing pretty well for themselves on the recruiting trail as of late even without a $100 million deal from Nike. [Title]

Input: [Date] 17 weeks 3 days ago [Body] We've only ever stayed at the RenCen, it is close and reasonable if you book through the detroit marathon link. The course is really nice, although most will tell you the back half is a little boring (it is) and sparsely populated by fans (true as well). Mostly flat course although the bridge will take its toll later in the race if you don't check your pace. You will have evil thoughts towards Belle isle forever - bridge incline mile 19 going on and 23 going off and will run into a head wind the entire time. I've run 5 differennt courses and Detroit on 4 occasions, I think it's a fairly hard course. Running my first Boston in 2 weeks so I'm interested to see how it stacks up in comparison. I was almost stopped heading into Canada by border police because my bib was concealed. I carry my enhanced ID for piece of mind by it probably isn't necessary although if you are stopped you are screwed. I've never seen anyone get stopped unless their bib is covered. Ambassodor bridge sunrise and coming out of the tunnel into America is unlike anything I've experienced in a race and for the cost I recommend. [Title]

Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 hours ago [Body] I have no love for Izzo, but it sounds like he considers pre-college activity to be the source of the problem. I don't necessarily agree with his assessment but I don't think he is taking any sort of shot at Michigan. I'm also not sure how the question was asked but the part about Lavert probably get's the lead because he was a more significan player then Bess. He says identical things about both guys so he is either taking shots at himself and our coach or just commenting on the issue with no agenda what-so-ever. I'm not sure stress factures, tendonitis, or other over-use injuries are more common now but I think he has a point about taking time away to rest the body. Most of these injuries start as something the guys can play through so they do that and the cumulative effect sidelines them eventually. [Title]

Output: I have no love for Izzo, but


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 1 hour ago [Body] John Clayton already gave it to you. He couldn't get an offer out of another NFL team because they all recognize his terrible personality will tear apart any organization he touches. So going back to college was his only option, you see? He literally begged Michigan to hire him. [Title]

Output: John Clayton already gave it


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 2 days ago [Body] They basically made a front page story out of Schefter's tweet. I really can't remember if there ever was any integrity or investigative skill at ESPN back in the day, but now it is nothing more then sensationalized re-hashing of sporting events and news. They have nothing to offer when it comes to actual news stories and their "reporters" are ill equipped and trained to handle breaking news - they just don't have any practice at it. Didn't basically the same thing happen with Mantei Teo? Didn't ESPN refuse to report and acknowledge sources outside of their own? I get needing to verify sources and not just recycling the reporting of others if you can't independently verify - but the bigger problem seems that they aren't getting any information of their own. Well except for Wiley and they seem to be ignoring him. [Title]

Output: They basically made a front


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I thought that too but "staffers" could be any of 100 employees. Could be the water boy or it could be their anonymous league source. Or it is made up bullshit - I could go either way. [Title]

Input: [Date] 31 weeks 3 days ago [Body] It's been about a week that Brian has seemingly believed that there is a better then good chance that Harbaugh was coming to Michigan right? All of that has been based on what are probably reliable sources, but he's been saying for days that his email box is flooded with credible pieces of info that point to Harbaugh returning to Michigan. So why last night does he post a front page piece stating that he is 99% sure that it's a done deal? He has been saying all along it is happening unless Harbaugh has a last minute change of heart. Yesterday's post doesn't happen because he go a 1000 more pieces of circumstantial evidence - Harbaugh could still change his mind. That post only happens because Brian has very very very good reason to believe it is signed, sealed, and delivered in writing. [Title]

Output: It's been about a week that


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Only a handful of people would have been in that room, so his information is still second or third hand right? Credible, but there is still a margin of error in that it could be false. But my guess is he has credible information that there is a written agreement and all of the circumstantial evidence bolsters that piece of information. [Title]

Output: Only a handful of people


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 3 days ago [Body] And to take it a step further I fully believe there is a signed contract at this point. Brian mentioned that he doesn't have a picture of a contract, but I don't think he says those words and puts himself out there with 99% certainty unless there is something in writing. Even the athletic department seems to be too leaky at this point for it not to be a done deal. I think the rumor mill in A2 is in full effect because slowly more and more people who need to prepare for next week are being fed details - Hackett doesn't allow this to happen unless it's a done deal already. [Title]

Output: Agreed


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 2 days ago [Body] C'mon grow up and get some perspective, or get sober. Whichever helps more. HS football players sign with teams to get an education and play football at a high level. There are a lot of schools in this country which can give you an education on par with the University of Michigan, and I'm sure plenty of those have football programs that don't regress in developing their players. We are a shit-show right now whether you like it or not. Would you take a job with a company that was falling apart at the seams just because you have a sentimental attachement to it? Kids have to what is best for them. I hope we pull out of this someday soon but the recent history of this storied football program doesn't instill a lot of confidence or hope. [Title]

Output: C'mon grow up and get some


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 4 days ago [Body] So when people you don't know continuously call your ugly-ass mom ugly you have no desire to rise to her defense? It's called civic pride. The fact that you call it a pretty crappy city means you probably grew up in Livonia or Farmington Hills and spent almost no appreciable time in Detroit. And having a measure of civic pride doesn't mean that you fail to recognize the many, many shortcomings that exist in the city. Thin skinned enough for you? [Title]

Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Body] The second option would be to sear, then rest for 10 minutes to allow heat to dissipate, then place on indirect heat until reaching desired temp, then rest again. [Title]

Output: The second option would be to


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Body] The rationale for searing right before the meat has hit ideal internal temp is that a good sear happens at 500+ degrees. Which means there is a lot of intense heat raising the interal temperature very quickly but not evenly. If I start my steak at 500 and move to 300 there is going to be more risidual heat on the outer portion of the steak but that heat won't necessarily have moved inside. So you won't get even distribution and if you aren't very careful the outer half of your steak will be well done while the interior is medium rare. If you do the sear at the end of the cook you can pull the meat off the heat which allows you to halt (well at least slow down relatively quickly) the cooking process. [Title]

Output: The rationale for searing


Input: [Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Body] I don't think most people here are going to begrudge anyone for getting theirs. It's just that in no other sport does a head coach make approximately 30X as much as the most highly compensated player (legitimately compensated). So the head shaking doesn't have as much to do with him making that much but rather making that much in a system where those in charge claim the players are more then adequately "paid" for their 60 hour work week then turn around and dump wheel barrels full of cash in front of AD's, Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Recruiters, Trainers, you get the point right? It's not like the conferences are getting the shaft on TV revenue either, they own the damn networks. So this is just another example of how flush with cash athletic departments are and how they have to find excuses to piss away the revenue while they cry about amateurism and how fearful they are that they will corrupt the innocent kids. [Title]

Output: I don't think most people

Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Body] Bizarre sounds about right to me. I don't get it at all, you hear nothing out of the kid but his parents seem to be plastering their differences all over the recruiting sites. It's to the point where I'd rather he go to state if that's what he really wants then have his parents force him to choose Michigan. [Title]

Output: Bizarre sounds about right to


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] I'm with you 100% on this one but I'm afraid we are in the minority. I've always argued these same points to people who think a playoff is necessary for college football. The last two teams out are always going to have a beef, look at the NCAA bball tourney. And if we aren't going to have super-conferences, byes, and home field advantage is it really that good of a system for determining a champion? College football is great because of the rivalries and Michigan wouldn't have any sort of postseason history if it weren't for the contrived bowl system - there are too many teams for rivalries to develop organically in a playoff system. [Title]

Output: I'm with you 100% on this one

Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Body] And just like a high school sometimes the readers of this blog feel they are untitled to voice their opinions as loudly as they can with no repercussions. There really is this belief that an open forum provides some free speech right, no matter how harmful that speech might be to the overall product. I think this blog would be better served sometimes with just a comment section after the front page content instead of a dedicated forum which grants every dickhead with an opinion a platform to rabble rabble rabble. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Body] Given the circumstances surrounding Penn State and considering some of the other issues that have popped up as of late throughout the NCAA, does anyone else get the feeling we may be hearing of other violations/cover-ups over the next year or two? [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] Not really sure we need to concern ourselves with signing another DB. All I'm really concerned with at this point is Treadwell. It'd be nice to get Green as well but we can always pick up an elite back in next years class. [Title]

Output: Not really sure we need to


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Being a Kent State grad, I'm pretty familiar with Ohio (not that Ohio). They are streaky behind the arc, very quick, and athletic. They rank near the top of NCAA in steals. When their shots are dropping they can be a load. At the same time, they dont' really have a lot of height under the rim and rely almost exclusively on their guards to make plays. I'm still trying to decide whether I like this matchup. Additional Note: Walter Offutt, a transfer from Ohio (yes that Ohio), plays for Bobcats. He has had a very good year and was a regular contributor for Buckeyes as a freshman. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] I spoke with an Ohio fan who explained (a) Michigan's O-Line haul in 2012 and thus far in 2013 is irrelevant because Ohio garnered the top D-Line class in 2012. And (b) the commits with offers from both schools chose MIchigan because they didn't have "Commitable" offers from Ohio State. He can't seem to accept that Hoke and the UM staff have beat Meyer to the punch on several recruits (getting in early). Discussing football and recruiting with Ohio fans sometimes reminds of of talking to my 9 year old nephew. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Body] I like them. Looking back I recall the stripes on the sleeves of the away jerseys. Aside from some of the finer details such as the numbers they do look much better on the players. I can only hope that the white pants are NEVER EVER worn again however. I have spoken with a few friends this week and, according to principle, I understand the reticence to accept this alternative jersey thing. In many ways I completely agree. Yet, it appears to be a vogue marketing and recruiting tool and hey, at least the three different looks we've sported haven't made us look like complete clowns (uh MSU, MD, OR) [Title]

Output: I like them. Looking back I


Input: [Date] 3 years 33 weeks ago [Body] I just spoke to a friend of mine who grew up in Pittsburgh. His words were "Pitt needs to fire their AD immediately."

We've lost multiple games by 20 plus runs and it is tough for people to understand.

Harbaugh isn't a doctor and doesn't know how he feels. If Saban did this all you guys would be having a fit. Everyone here has a stiffy (including me) cuz harbaugh is now the coach so you're afraid to say anything negative about the guy. He wants to play for Michigan, let him fucking play for Michigan.

Maybe it's different if you live close to Ann Arbor, but no matter how bad things are going, I know that once I arrive I will have a smile on my face. Im making the 9 hour drive next Friday for the Penn state game with a very pregnant wife and It will be awesome to see those winged helmets and sing the victors. Hopefully without Hoke. Go Blue!

If you must lock a topic, why cant you at least leave a majority of the posts while not allowing any more replies so people can follow some of the debate. We cant be critical of the coaching staff, can't ever be critical of any recruit no matter how selfish they act or what they say, or if they take pics of stacks of cash or pose with bongs. You might as well just write what we should all think and forget the board, because its getting beyond ridiculous.

Our basketball program doesnt suck, football program has grown a lot in the past decade, our women's sports are good, and iowa state has great vet, engineering, business, computer, and ag programs. Not a lot of eyeballs agreed, but there's still a lot ISU could offer the big ten.

Let people be informed and then let them live with the consequences of their own decisions good or bad. Anything less is just another excuss to tell people how to live their lives because you think you know better and you know what's good for them.

Output: A team from the north playing a team from the south in their backyard, no thanks. The structure is old.

Output: I dont get how whining and being critical about the coaches gets you banned, but calling people asshats is somehow okay? If someone is offbase on their opinion, the board will let them know.


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] I went to both games the last [Body]

Output: I went to both games the last two years. Many more neb. fans in ann arbor than michigan fans in lincoln. I had the unfortunate pleasue of sitting next to a neb. fan who was also a spartan grad. He wasn't too horrible but you knew from sitting next to him that something just wasnt right. I think the tailgating is about the worst along with iowa city. Fans overall were nice. I did find it funny though I ran into the same husker fan outside the stadium twice who kept swearing and telling me to take off my michigan jersey. I asked a lot of neb fans last year ( including my father) how they were treated in Ann Arbor, and all of them said michigan fans treated them fine and they liked being in ann arbor. good all around fan experience i think for both fan bases.

But if he was still thinking RR was viable, he could have, should have, would have bolstered him up for recruiting and continuity purposes. If Brandon really and truly had no idea what RR's fate was until 1/1/2011, then we are about to see a disaster unfold. [Title]

Output: Damn, I hope so. It's at LB


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Body] Perhaps the orientation of the team determines the value of the bye week. If a team is predominantly a defensive power, then the opportunity for radical scheme changes is limited. For a team with an offensive orientation, then whole new packages can be rolled out and practiced using the extra time. Of course I say this so that both Iowa’s bye week and our upcoming bye week will both be positives for us. But a couple data points that might support this (this comes from a quick look at schedules – not certified 100% accurate): Iowa’s (defensive team) bye week record. RR’s September/Opening Day performance (close loss to a good Utah team with a horrid team, mashed WMU, mashed UConn), He’s also 4-1 at WVU. Looking at too few other data points, Penn State (defense) is 2-3 and OSU, strangely enough, is 1-1 (they don’t seem to like scheduling bye weeks). Florida (offense mostly) is 7-0. Skewed because of Florida’s inordinate success. Oregon is 6-0. This is a potential diary, but not for me today. Calling all Mathletes. [Title]

Output: Perhaps the orientation of

Output: Did you add an M to you giant


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Body] Come on, Stephen! A little humor is all... [Title]

Output: Come on, Stephen! A little


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Body] Dude has put it all out there! No wiggle room left. I think I would sell my soul for the KNOWLEDGE to be right... [Title]

Output: Dude has put it all out


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Body] Sigh. Trying to put a pretty face on it, I guess. When I fielded my GERG concerns in the past, I get swarmed with people who question my IQ and understanding of Defense. It's concerning. [Title]

Output: Sigh. Trying to put a pretty


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Body] Here's where I have let smarter people than me (this is a large n) change my mind. GERG may not be able to build an elite D, but his resume and football knowledge suggests he can build a serviceable one, say, with some years of recruiting Michigan talent, something in the 30s or 40s. Something very much like State showed Saturday. And while that may not be what we all want, with RR's offenses, it should be waaay more than enough. [Title]

Output: Here's where I have let


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Body] Touché. [Title]

Output: Touché.


Input: [Date] 17 hours 58 min ago [Title] Seriously? [Body]

Output: Your title asks if it is a dead business model, not if others think the same way. Yes, there should be an increase in sales, but not sold out season tickets if the business model is dying. Seriously, go back and read your own post.


Input: [Date] 23 hours 31 min ago [Title] Ridiculous thread [Body]

Output: To say the business model is dying when they just had a huge increase in season tickets is crazy. Also, your entire alternative of buying on stubhub is dependent on season ticket holders as they are the vast majority of sellers. Just because it meets your needs does not mean there is a big change coming. Let's put some thought in before posting.


Input: [Date] 23 hours 40 min ago [Title] That and [Body]

Output: That and I don't think one student can buy two student tickets. This plan has so many faults, it's hard to count them all.


Input: [Date] 1 day 19 hours ago [Title] You didn't understand the policy [Body]

Output: The policy was never that they would lose their offer, it was that they would not be considered a commit. Essentially, Hoke was not saving them a spot if they were looking around. Thus non of your examples qualify.


Input: [Date] 1 day 20 hours ago [Title] Name one. [Body]

Output: Until the very end, this never happened


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] The degree may not be what you think [Body]

Output: I have seen several say how valuable the Michigan degree is to these players, but I would be careful with that assumption. I have recruited frequently at Michigan and have seen several football players come through looking for jobs. All of them have had very low GPAs and did not get much of our time. Based on the brief time I talked with them, this was how their job search went with every potential employer. The point being, many of these young men may get a degree, but not one that will do much for them. Malcolm Gladwell talks a bit about this in his book David and Goliath and backs it up with facts rather than anecdotal evidence. He points out that going into a top tier college as a borderline student is a bad choice, you are much better off at a school where you can be a top tier student.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 19 hours ago [Title] Harbaugh [Body]

Output: And I would have said the same thing two years ago.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] Verizon [Body]

Output: I recently went through the same thing. I decided on Verizon Fios, I get all the sports channels but not not much else besides the networks and AMC. This, along with 75/75 internet costs me just under $100 a month. About half what I was paying on directv and Internet before, though I was getting far more channels. I have augmented this with HBO NOW and Netflix.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Why QB [Body]

Output: I think it is crazy how these kids continue to be used at QB. He has no future at QB. Why is he not being moved to Arab or Anwar for his own sake. This happens in college all too often, coaches need to do what is right for the athletes.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] That would suck [Body]

Output: I am not really anti-neutral site, but a game on the infield of a race track would suck.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 hours ago [Title] Nike attack on Adidas [Body]

Output: The Wall Street journal seemed to indicate that Nike is going after Adidas' big contracts. Michigan's deal may be as much about hurting a competitor as it is about getting Michigan.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 hours ago [Title] Length of contract [Body]

Output: How does the length of contract impact this price and compare to others. Michigan's contract goes through 2027 with an option through 2031. If this report is true, is this a contract that looks great now but in the second half of the contract looks more mediocre?


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 16 hours ago [Title] Agreed [Body]

Output: This is a normal meeting and I am sure Herman got similar feedback. It's highly unlikely that this was a one sided conversation.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Agreed [Body]

Output: We've seen these rumors for months now. I will believe it when it is announced.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] This is the norm [Body]

Output: Most great athletes fall off the cliff suddenly. Especially pitchers. There are certainly exceptions, but they are exceptions.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Plus minus is deceiving [Body]

Output: A huge chunk of that is because of the power play, which he would skate the entire time. Caps had a great powerplay and Green didn't spend much time on the penalty kill for obvious reasons. He is worse in defense than ESPN is saying.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I am a big Caps fan [Body]

Output: Green is not worth that amount of money. He is a good offensive defenseman and great on the power play. But he is a huge liability on defense and often seems to forget he is not a forward. I was a Caps season ticket holder and can honestly say there is no one I am happier to see leave Washington. I hope he proves me wrong and does well for the Wings, but I suspect they will end up hating that contract just like the Caps did.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Simple [Body]

Output: Because than a coach may push a player onto the field that has no business being there. If Pipkins has had concussion issues, and we know he has, it may very well be in his best interest to take a medical redshirt. But there is also no doubt that Pipkins has been told for years that he was going pro and going to make millions. No doubt that being told he will not be in the NFL is going to be tough to take.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 7 hours ago [Title] Matthew McConaughey [Body]

Output: He had just won an Oscar for the very non rom com Dallas Buyers Club before season 1 started. Let's give him a little credit.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Title] You need to go back and look at Nike gear in 2007, [Body]

Output: That is nowhere near the Color Nike used


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Title] At Michigan, you mean [Body]

Output: He's coached quite a few downs in his career as it turns out.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It conducts or sponsors [Body]

Output: If the satellite camps met the "conducts or sponsors" clause, than it would also be a recruiting violation. So I think he is safe.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Not new [Body]

Output: That quote comes straight from the website the patriots set up. Anyone who thought the Wells report was reliable is not great at critical thinking or has only read the headlines.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Bring back Inge! [Body]

Output: Bring him back


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Not all offers commitable [Body]

Output: Given what I have read about Harbaugh putting out all these offers, but not all of them being a commitable offer, I tend to think those commits he accepts must be from guys he has a lot of confidence in.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Title] What they need [Body]

Output: It's what the team needs, it's the one thing Hoke did not recruit well.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Yeah [Body]

Output: Those last couple of can't miss five stars went great for us! /s


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Title] He has to leave someday [Body]

Output: He won't coach forever


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Shoes? [Body]

Output: I suspect nobody in this board is thinking about shoes. We are thinking about things we can go the mden and buy with Michigan on it.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Maybe [Body]

Output: But it could also mean that he has no chance of being a WR in the league.


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 hours ago [Body] By the way, love the Antione "the Judge" Joubert nom de plume. Joubert and Gary "the General" Grant were my all time favorite Michigan guard combo until Tim and Trey came along a few years back. [Title]

Output: By the way, love the Antione


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 hours ago [Body] Pretty sure the water just parts when he comes near. [Title]

Output: Pretty sure the water just


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 days ago [Body] Plus he looks just like Jabrill Peppers which can't hurt. [Title]

Output: Plus he looks just like


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Body] Love that clip. Everitt really wanted to hit him but probably held back because he didn't want to give that little jock-sniffer the free publicity. [Title]

Output: Love that clip. Everitt


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Body] Won't be able to call it a fluke when Caris Levert goes in the top 10 next year. [Title]

Output: Won't be able to call it a
