Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Body] I personally think the article's headline is a bit misleading because the "profit" was on Michigan's expense allowance for the game, and does not include Michigan's share of the remaining bowl revenue for the Sugar Bowl and other bowls. Unless the conference had to pay more in unused tickets than it received for its bowl bids, Michigan should still pocket a nice chunk of change from its share of the remainder. [Title]

Output: I personally think the


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Body] LSU fans quickly gobbled up the school's allotment of 37,000 tickets, breaking a school record for a regular-season road game. Oregon sold out its 15,000-ticket allotment. http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/ncf/news/story?id=6715802 Given the misbalance between the schools' allotments last year, I don't expect there is room for Mr. Jones to give more tickets to Michigan. This year, we aren't the equivalent of LSU facing a distant, nascent fanbase. We are matched against the defending national champions who are located within driving distance of Dallas. I suspect Jones will use the remainder of the tickets for local/Cowboys purposes, and the best we could hope for is a small group of seats or a large allotment of standing room only seats. [Title]

Output: Different situation this year?


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Body] http://www.mgoblue.com/tickets/fbl-cowboys-classic.html Victors Club members with 50 or more priority points did not face a limit unlike those who could order yesterday. Anyone who ordered more than 4 with less points either will have their order reduced, or the Athletic Department did not enforce their own policy, which is frustrating for those of us who would have ordered 1-2 more but were maxed out. [Title]


Input: [Date] 4 years 19 weeks ago [Body] I think the NCAA did not suspend the players to provide OSU the opportunity to appeal. Although they ended up only appealing the 5th suspended game, if there had been less proof, OSU potentially could have appealed the entire charge/punishment, which could have led to no suspensions if successful. You could think of it similarly to being on bail until final sentencing. [Title]

Output: I think the NCAA did not


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] God help him get the support of the fanbase if he can't even face his old team. That game is a bellwether for the rest of the season and beyond. Think back to the MWC team we played at the start of 2008. It's an opportunity to show progress against an up-and-coming non-AQ team. [Title]

Output: God help him get the support


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] I was more disappointed from that article to see that Hoke bailed out of SDSU with nothing more than a text message to his players. Michigan should have provided him the opportunity to take the extra 4-6 hours to hold a team meeting and explain his decision in person. [Title]

Output: I was more disappointed from


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] You're absolutely right. Hoke will have fewer distractions than RR due to the relationship with the fanbase and media that is clearly going to be less strained than it has been the past three years. However, the only good that can provide is if it leads to more winning. A smoother relationship with former players and boosters has not and will never be a substitute for winning. Dave Brandon clearly felt that Hoke is qualified for the job, and he does not deserve a pass due to his lack of experience as a BCS coach. I will definitely be cheering like crazy at every game next year. But until Hoke starts performing in the areas where RR failed, confident and inspiring talk will not have me convinced we are immediately on track for greatness again. [Title]

Output: You're absolutely right.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] What does letting go of RR have to do with applying the same standards to our new coach? If Hoke can't do better than 3 wins next year, or 7-6 in year 3, would you really think we should keep him? Judging by people's expectations here, 7-6 by the third year would be highly unlikely. He would be significantly underperforming, and undeserving of a fourth year based on traditional Michigan expectations. [Title]

Output: What does letting go of RR


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Given the question they were answering, I read it as "if we don't win at least 6 games, Hoke will not meet expectations for next year" [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Why should we expect Hoke's recruiting to be better than Lloyd's? What evidence is there to suggest that a rookie B10 coach will out-recruit someone who won a national championship at Michigan? [Title]

Output: Why should we expect Hoke's


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] Lol if the BR media is chasing BBQ receipts and iPhone photos, their heads are going to explode if they have to start a coaching search on January 11 or 12. Then again, the Detroit media was chasing down the Domino's corporate jet at Willow Run tonight based on blogs' obsession with FlightAware. I don't know which is funnier. [Title]

Output: Lol if the BR media is


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] The Big Ten does not allow signing 27 so that coaches can greyshirt kids. There are some minutiae with scholarship numbers that allow a team to count early enrollees in the previous year's class if you have enough extra room in your scholarship limits. Michigan took advantage of these rules last year to stock the roster back up to 85 for 2010. [Title]

Output: The Big Ten does not allow


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] And here I thought the NCAA only cares when entrepreneurial reporters dig up a story exposing a violation. It turns out that even when violations are admitted out in the open, there has to be excessive stretching involved to justify a response. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] I think it would be worth pulling out the checkbook for Gruden. We are in a much weaker position than we were three years ago in terms of the attractiveness of the job, but we still have a huge checkbook to go along with state of the art facilities, and I think we should take full advantage of that before we lose it. I think his national visibility from MNF and his NFL experience/Super Bowl win more than make up for his lack of recruiting experience as a college HC. Look at the way he talks up every damned player who completes a first down on MNF. Can you imagine how convincing he could be selling the Big House and winged helmets? [Title]

Output: Gruden


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Body] You will also want to look at this link. http://www.mgoblue.com/genrel/081309aaa.html It states that a student ID is required to validate the tickets. Whenever I have had tickets validated, I have presented my ID, although I may have provided it without being asked in every case. You should absolutely be able to find a student in the Michigan Union Friday night before they close around 6 or Saturday morning before the game to validate it for you if you hand them the cash, so I wouldn't be too worried. [Title]

That is absolutely hilarious that they thought you were actually making Denard Robinson Heisman Trophy™ candidate edition action figures. If the wallpapers are on a private website that makes no mention of your business whatsoever, I hope that you can continue to get them published. Thanks for your creativity and hard work making these so far. [Title]

Unfortunately, we haven't decided what to name him yet after picking him up this afternoon. There are many great suggestions on this page to look through, I'm sure we'll find one! Zoltan Meowsko is currently the front runner. Who wouldn't want their cat to be Assistant (to the) Space Emperor? [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 6 weeks ago [Body] Denard left in an SUV with some people. I've been wondering who he was with that was so important that it was his job to go back into the store to get some extra ranch sauce. Either he's just a friendly guy, or you just figured it out for me. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 6 weeks ago [Body] I talked to Denard at the Domino's pizza on Main Street the weekend before last. I was wearing a Michigan football shirt, so he asked me if I was going to any games this year. I told him all of them, and Penn State too. So we talked about how that's going to be a night game, and how cool it's going to be to play Notre Dame at night in the Big House next year. He asked me what grade I'm in and when I said I just graduated but am going to grad school and will be here a while, he responded that hopefully I'll see a national championship soon! He had just been coming into the store a second time to get some extra ranch sauce, and when he left, I told the girl working there that he was the Michigan Football quarterback. She said, "Oh, that's who it was... He walked in here and asked, 'Do you know who I am? I'm Denard.' And I was like, Hi, Denard." I thought that was pretty funny. I was going to post this story on here right after it happened, but I thought it would get a lot of "that's a cool story, man" sarcastic responses. But since you asked... [Title]

Output: Denard: National Championship for Michigan soon


Input: [Date] 5 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Actually, the bye week has already been implemented. Starting this year, the Big Ten is extending play to the 13th week of the season with each team having a bye week. This pushes the Michigan-Ohio State game to Thanksgiving weekend, which could affect attendance (don't get me wrong, I still expect 110,000+ sellouts, but it's going to lead to some students skipping UM-OSU who attend the games for social reasons primarily). The Big Ten made this change to deal with criticism that B10 football ends too soon before the other conferences. [Title]

Output: Bye week


Input: [Date] 5 years 7 weeks ago [Body] This does not sound good. Shame on the Athletics Department and Admissions Office for not getting this figured out before the offer was made. And shame on the Detroit/Ann Arbor media for likely ruining this kid's chance to make a new life for himself in Michigan. One of the reasons it was expected Dorsey was coming here was to get away from a negative environment in Florida with his peers. If he ends up in a D1 program like FSU, it might not provide him the opportunity he would have at Michigan. This is not the time for the University to further vindicate the "investigative reporting" of the local media. [Title]

Output: This does not sound good.


Input: [Date] 5 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Smaller football programs that lose money already would still have a problem, but the NCAA could cap the amount that players would be paid. This would at least limit competition based on pay between big-time programs. This might limit some blue chip recruits from going to lesser programs for the opportunity for earlier playing time, but I think there would be a similar pecking order of schools going after recruits to what we see now. The programs that would be able to afford the maximum player stipend would usually be the successful ones that top recruits are interested in anyways. [Title]

Output: Smaller football programs


Input: [Date] 5 years 11 weeks ago [Body] I think what it shows is that it's not worth going for it on 4th down from around the 45 until you get into field goal range. If you miss, they have excellent field position. If you make it, they only have about 4-5 yards worse field position than if you had just punted from where you were on 4th down within the 45. This wouldn't be true if the extra ten yards that could be attempted after getting a first down would make a field goal likely, but in that range of the field (30-45 yard line), punting position should not be a factor when deciding whether to go for 4th down. [Title]

Output: I think what it shows is that


Input: [Date] 5 years 14 weeks ago [Body] If the purpose of advertising during football games is to donate to Mott, I'd be OK with it even during the season, and by that measure advertising during the spring game to donate is something I can support too. I just see this and the expected Big Chill ads as the first step towards advertising in the Big House for football games to provide revenue for the program, not for donations. If they only stick to advertising for donations or for negative revenue events like the spring game or the Big Chill, then they're doing everything right. We'll just have to see how many seasons it is before we have "Allstate" on the field goal netting and an Arby's logo next to the block M on the scoreboard. [Title]

Output: Ads


Input: [Date] 5 years 14 weeks ago [Body] I'm beginning to get concerned about this advertising. Advertising in the Big House for spring practice and the Big Chill is a slippery slope. Just because there's money to be made doesn't mean it's worth breaking this tradition. I know David Brandon is a savvy businessman and he's looking to increase revenues, but they need to be careful about this. We were supposed to be able to afford the stadium expansion without corporate advertising, or at least that's what was said when the idea was sold. The other item of note from that press release I see is that a website is going to be launched tomorrow featuring "Victor the talking puck". [Title]

Output: Advertising


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] 3"x3" Neodymium magnet Amazon review/warning [Body]

Output: The reason that there are currently no reviews for this product is because the people who would be giving this review are all now missing their hands, due to various magnet related accidents. Ok, I'm being dramatic but still, this magnet can lift 890 lbs!!!!!! Need I say more? Ok,how's this? The field strength of even a small Neodymium magnet can make its presence known across a room: Now strike an estimate of what a supermagnet, that is larger than what a human hand can properly get a grip around, can do to a person, with an energy product of 42 Mega Gauss Oersteds and a lift rating of 890 lbs!!! NEVER EVER introduce this thing to another Rare Earth magnet! If this thing flies out of your hand and shatters, depending on the direction of the shear, this thing can blow apart like a fragmentation grenade. Believe me when I tell you that, in spite of all this, there's STILL a part of me that want's very badly to buy this thing. Maybe for the same reason we all want to own that cool Hellraiser Cube! "WHAT IS YOUR PLEASURE?!" Seriously I want to buy this magnet!!! It's just that I don't know how to safely approach the damned lovely thing!!! This is the LAMBORGHINI REVENTON OF MAGNETS!! It's every bit as extreme and twice as deadly. Something like this could smash a human hand like like it's made of shaving cream!! SO BE CAREFUL!!!! There should be a special safety manual just for this magnet alone! Seriously, if someone were actually stupid enough to put this magnet together with another 3x3 Neodymium magnet (provided that was even possible to do without these things shattering)it would cause all the other Neodymium magnets from the remotest regions of the world to collide into it and it would become a freakin' black hole singularity of Neodymium magnets WAY BEFORE 2012!!!! A roiling shrieking mass of compacted Neodymium shards and severed arms flailing where nothing but a voice could escape! A voice shrieking in unison "My God!!!! Why didn't somebody STOP me from PUTTING THOSE THINGS TOGETHER!!!"


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] Coaching change [Body]

Output: If Hoke doesn't get rid of Borges this year, I would like to see him get one more year. If he does replace Borges, I would like to see him get two more years. I did want a change from Rodriguez after the defense's performance in their last bowl game, but at least his results were trending in a generally positive direction.

Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] Gardner will be fine [Body]

Output: He still lacks experience, but he has all the tools to be a great QB. Today's game should be a wake up call. He has a great attitude, and I think he'll learn from his mistakes and improve. I don't know why so many posters are so down on him, he's still only started how many games now? Garder and Borges shoulder most of the blame for the performance today, but most of the issues are very fixable.


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] No more taking snaps from under center please [Body]

Output: M doesn't have the players to run the offense from under center. It was already obvious before this game, but hopefully the results from today will seal the deal, and it will be all pistol and shotgun from here on out. If it doesn't work agains the Zips, it's just not going to happen. I know that Borges doesn't like for Gardner to run so much, but this offense needs him to be a ground threat to be successful.

Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Shooting to injure [Body]

Output: Dishonorable, and practiced by losers like Ted Nugent and other poachers. If you don't have a kill shot, you don't take it, so there isn't some injured animal dragging itself around in the woods until it dies. Hunters like your friend give the sport a bad name.


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] So much to learn [Body]

Output: I'm a late starting hunter too, but luckily I have a friend who's an avid hunter to help show me the ropes. The guys and gals at your local conservation club might be a good resourse. Taking your hunter's safety course there is a good way to make a connection, and to scope out the club to see if it's something you would be interested in joining.


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Wow, that's quite a setup [Body]

Output: Very nice deer you took there, and boy am I jealous of your hunting ground. In case anyone on the board isn't aware, apples are something like crack rocks to deer. I'm out here on state land in Michigan, battling the other savages for a little corner of the woods, while waiting for a drunk to mistake me for a record buck.

Output: The thing about OSU fans is that you don't have to ask M fans to get negative reviews. Their reputation spans the nation. As much as I chuckle at MSU fans, they don't hold a candle to the mouth breathing, car keying, knuckle dragging trash that makes up too much of the Ohio fanbase.

The forgotten part of the Malice at the Palace is how clearly uncomfortable and scared Artest was in front of Wallace, only to get his courage up when it was time to fight hapless bystanders. He is a mentally challenged coward, at best.

Output: Everything within the rulebook is fair game, it's just incentive to do what they're supposed to do anyway, which is to inflict maximum violence.


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Oh the humanity [Body]

Output: Keep up the good work Magnus, thanks for your honest assessment.


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Pacific Beach Burrito on Washtenaw [Body]

Output: Oddly, I've never tried the burritos there, but the fish and shrimp tacos are tasty. I don't know how far into Ypsi you're interested in traveling though


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Chipotle [Body]

Output: Carnitas is the choice meat, wherever I find my burrito.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Eastern michigan [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Neg away but the lack of D means these two won't be the nba long [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Title] sounds about right. must get to 85 and it won't be pretty [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 1 day ago [Title] More concerned that we are going to oversign big time [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Title] im shocked at number of bad 3s [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Title] parallels to UM vs MSU [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Title] i will say I consider B10 D's better than avg [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Title] This has been true for the last 7-8 years [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 2 days ago [Title] ESPN reporting something slightly different... [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'll believe dJ at the 4 when I see it [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Debbie downer here but he needs to be 250+ [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] exactly this shows that Coach B is NOT elite...not yet [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Nobody is asking that we all stand all game [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Title] If you are the type to sit and make noise [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Keep it up. We need to change the culture at Michigan stadium [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Agree 100% [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 8 hours ago [Title] exactly...the 4 is THE position [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 1 day ago [Title] haha my bad [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 1 day ago [Title] yeah but [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 1 day ago [Title] bc we play SGs at the 4 spot [Body]

Output: Need size at the 4. Size and can shoot is hard to recruit though.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Need a 4 that can actually guard 4's [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I know OSU oversigns. Anyone else in B1G?? [Body]

Output: Trying to think if any coaches in league would be against it.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Friday night will have games on Unimas (part of Univision) [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 1 day ago [Title] As a 49er fan - problem was lack of big and and red zone [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Title] 49ers have one of worst offenses in the league [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Shane missed his whole HS Sr year right? [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Fire Brandon Tifo in the student section [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 8 hours ago [Title] average? wish we were average right now [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 8 hours ago [Title] DB on Funchess for that INT is a ft shorter [Body]

Output: If that throw is anywhere outside the hashmark its a catch....they have a midget on Funchess 1on1. Also,how is Darboh a starting WR. Slow and runs TERRIBLE routes. He has single handily caused 2 INTs this season. Should have been a off pass int.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Taking the wife to her first Michigan game for Minny [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I'm with you there! [Body]

Output: I'm with you there!


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Title] +1 for being right on! [Body]

Output: +1 for being right on!

Output: This crushes me to see in print. I love all Rocky movies, yes I even watch Rocky V.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Top Gun is my all time [Body]

Output: Top Gun is my all time favorite movie.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I don't hate Nickleback... I [Body]

Output: I don't hate Nickleback... I actually listen to them often.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 3 days ago [Title] So an adult can't call out [Body]

Output: So an adult can't call out another adult on Twitter anymore? Didn't know there were so many complex rules about Twitter and rules of engagement.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 3 days ago [Title] That picture wasn't part of [Body]

Output: That picture wasn't part of his Twitter account?


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 3 days ago [Title] If you don't want something [Body]

Output: If you don't want something talked about maybe you shouldn't post it on Twitter... Just a thought


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Insensitive... Now that's [Body]

Output: Insensitive... Now that's funny


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I would argue that's a smart [Body]

Output: I would argue that's a smart decision. He is looking out for himself when no one else is.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I'm right there with you. [Body]

Output: I'm right there with you. Thought it as solid!

Output: Seriously are you a fishing guide in Montana? Where at? Looking at taking a trip out there.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 7 hours ago [Title] Real question... Does WD have [Body]

Output: Real question... Does WD have a subscription?


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 8 hours ago [Title] I agree with you there if you [Body]

Output: I agree with you there if you are just in it for recruiting but rivals does offer other things for their sports coverage. I can get hockey info as well as Some nice weekly stories from football and basketball season. I guess I still subscribe out of habit, that any my entire family uses my account to read about their teams as well.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 8 hours ago [Title] I'll be honest. I get more [Body]

Output: I'll be honest. I get more hockey coverage on Rivals then I do here, but unfortunately it isn't much more.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 8 hours ago [Title] Explain please [Body]

Output: Explain please


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] I kind of hope you are [Body]

Output: I kind of hope you are running Mgoblog by then WD. No offense Brian, I know it's only 5 years away but seeing 2020, makes me feel old and I'll only be 32.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 3 days ago [Title] "Working class father"... I [Body]

Output: "Working class father"... I didn't know I should be so superior to someone that goes to work everyday to support his family.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Mark Brunell did on ESPN [Body]

Output: Mark Brunell did on ESPN earlier this week. Mark said he would be able to throw the football 10 yards farther with it being deflated by 2 psi


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Title] CBS and FOX rotate every year [Body]

Output: CBS and FOX rotate every year who gets the 3:00 and 6:00 game. Just happened to be the year FOX had the early game. This was also the earliest start time Seattle has had.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Title] That he is a winner.... Yup [Body]

Output: That he is a winner.... Yup pretty much!


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 6 days ago [Title] They still could have went [Body]

Output: They still could have went for it on 4th and 1.... And you don't know if they would have scored on that drive anyways. Your argument is dumb


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Not going to lie, that kind [Body]

Output: Not going to lie, that kind of blew my mind to think about.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Bravo! Well done sir! [Body]

Output: Bravo! Well done sir!


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Title] You do realize they raised [Body]

Output: You do realize they raised gas taxes to fix the roads this past midterm election right?


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 1 day ago [Title] 2-1 PSU. This is what happens [Body]

Output: 2-1 PSU. This is what happens when you don't bury a team right from the drop of the puck.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] US Cellular is now just a [Body]

Output: US Cellular is now just a slightly below average ballpark, but I maintain that New Commiskey when it was built before the renovations was just awful. Especially in the upper deck. I'm a huge White Sox fan and it's just a shame really. The only positive are the wide concourses and organist, which just leads it to feeling like a nightmarish clown prison.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] I guess you could say he was [Body]

Output: I guess you could say he was defeated?


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Title] They have room for him [Body]

Output: They have room for him because they had already cut their roster to the max number of scholarship players before they kicked Mosquera Perea and Devin Davis off the team. Seeing as those two guys were the entirety of their big man bench depth after an assumed starting job for incoming Freshman Thomas Bryant, Max will have a big role to play there. 15 minutes a game in B1G play is certainly not out of the question. And Indiana has the talent to be a Sweet 16 team this year if the Crean implosion doesn't happen.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 1 day ago [Title] No way Patterson is headed [Body]

Output: No way Patterson is headed back to IU. He departed on a really sour note during one of their scholarship crunch periods. It was claimed that he didn't meet academic eligibility requirements after his summer classes but I'm not sure how true that was. He was actually the type of guy that Crean typically helps turn into a productive player so it was a head scratcher at the time. He's a D and energy guy. Not a shooter.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] Wanna do karate in the [Body]

Output: Wanna do karate in the garage?


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 1 day ago [Title] The Kings has written off [Body]

Output: The Kings had written off McLemore last year as well. He's improved in his second year. Writing off a rookie is completely stupid. Nik has an elite NBA skill, he can shoot. He's smart enough to eventually become a passable team defender. There's no reason he can't stick on as a rotation player eventually. That front office fired a guy who was actually doing fairly well coaching the team and hired one of the worst five NBA coaches of the last decade as his replacement. Nik hasn't been good. Yet. But jesus he's halfway through his rookie season. Give the guy a break.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I doubt it. This kid is Cam [Body]

Output: I doubt it. This kid is Cam Newton's size with good athleticism and showed that he can throw a nice, tight ball down the field, even if his receivers were WIDE open often. I get where teams wouldn't want to waste a high first on him, but he wouldn't make it past the second round. There are too many teams who need a QB to not take a flier on this guy. If he was smaller or hadn't thrown the ball as effectively I get it. But he had a hell of an audition and god knows he doesn't want to end up banged up like Devin did before he can sign a contract. I'd say there's a good chance he's out.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 5 days ago [Title] The outer and louder edges of [Body]

Output: The outer and louder edges of opinion will always generate visceral reaction. This is nothing new. Rupert Murdoch's bank accounts are all the proof one needs. Gregg is just another example.


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I disagree here [Body]

Output: In a world of increasingly sterile and superficial relationships I find the emphasis on the coach and recruit/player to be refreshing in most cases and creepy in others. In Brady's case it truly seemed that the relationships he forged were very strong with his players and recruits. If a recruit has another coach he feels comfortable with willing to extend an offer his way I feel he's doing the right thing by switching as soon as possible. Fans don't give much thought to 'excess' recruits after their positions have been filled in a class. But these kids don't have unlimited time to commit to offers. More often than not it probably behooves them to choose the next best situation rather than waiting for a coaching staff which may not have the same chemistry as the previous regime.


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 23 hours ago [Title] Up to you really. People who [Body]

Output: Up to you really. People who enjoy bourbons will drink them neat with maybe just a drop or two of water depending on your preference. I find this youtube channel to be an excellent resource on all things whisky, whiskey, bourbons, etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_5Ve5-J1bA


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] I noticed just in the Vine on [Body]

Input: [Date] 1 year 4 weeks ago [Title] Analogy [Body]

Output: The way the US was to succeed in the WC finals was to focus on their strengths and play with a focus on increased variance. When a team keeps the game low scoring teams with lower talent can grab a piece of luck and win the match. Greece won a Euros going 1-0 on better teams doing just this. Any steady fan will admit that we did not have the talent of ANY of our opponents. Bunker/counter and playing a low scoring match was the absolute best way for us to succeed. Until we have more talent this doesn't change things. For anybody who has watched through the last two cycles there has been a noticeable shift where we have been better on the front foot against teams with equal/less talent. But this does not mean we can control a possession based match against more talented teams. To put it in terms everyone will hate: RichRod's ultimate coaching goal is to decrease variance by increasing possessions in a game, relying on his offense's skill to outscore his opponents by a small amount per possession. Teams that play more plodding styles, ahem DeBord et al, are relying on luck more than teams that aren't. But when you're devoid of talent in soccer that's the absolute best way. Almost everything JK did this WC finals was at the least defendable and at best a good decision. Anybody thinking we're more than we are isn't realistic. Anybody else, hop on for the ride. I am very much looking forward to the next 10+ cycles.

Output: Yup. Going with AO for the entirety of the group stage. This was my last shot at it before I'm tied down with a family since there is no way in hell I'm doing WC Russia or WC Qatar. Trip of a lifetime and I'm glad I prepared (for years.)

Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] I feel Heiko deserves some [Body]

Output: I feel Heiko deserves some credit too. Establishing a positive relationship with a coordinator like Borges and showing genuine interest in the process and using it for analysis is entirely different than cherry picking pieces of information to write hyperbolic pieces, whether flattering or inflammatory. Heiko asks great questions in a respectful manner. I'm glad he wants to be a doctor but it will be a shame to lose his ability as a reporter. edit: homonyms: how do they work?

Output: Jim Delaney is clearly Diamond Joe Quimby.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] I admit up front I attended [Body]

Output: I admit up front I attended and still financially support both univesities. That said, it's a stupid rule. If you're traveling to a road game, you have a ticket, and you're a respectful fan you can expect to put up with some good natured harrassment for supporting the opposition from the home fans. But to be forced to wear the other team's gear or be shipped out is a dumb policy that a university the caliber of Michigan's should be above. For that matter all respected public institutions should be above it. Sports are fun. They're not supposed to be draconian in nature.

Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] I'll play [Body]

Output: Tyler "Mr. Maize" Schwartz was 29 years old. It was probably obvious Mr. Maize was 29. He had an "I'm not supposed to be here smile" and a hairline that was betraying the lie that tonight, he was a college student. But the true harbinger of displacement, the actual color maize itself. You see, Tyler is from an older school of fandom. A fandom where "The Victors" isn't played too fast by the band. A fandom that doesn't obsess over recruiting and the players' outside lives. A fandom that believes players will be players and supporters will be supporters. And all should be gentlemen. But for Tyler, the color of gentleman is not neon yellow. It is maize. With a beautiful blue block M on the front of it. Tyler tried to go to college. He was a 3.91 in high school. 32 on the ACT. Enrolled early admission. But like so many other overly protected freshmen do he fell to the temptations of drugs and alcohol. They became more important than class. Bad grades caused him to slip into depression. Mr. Maize was lost. But Mr. Maize in his heart was a true Michigan man and one that didn't quit. He enlisted in the Army and did multiple tours in combat in multiple locations. He wore his fandom proudly wherever he went knowing that while his successes may not have come as a result of a Michigan degree he still felt it in his heart. And nobody could tell him differently. So, treating himself to a game with his little brother's ticket he once again felt it. The Michigan man inside him combined with the Michigan man inside the others surrounding him. Tyler may never hold a degree, attend an alumni event, or be able to shut up a sparty who claimed he didn't actually graduate from the University. But it was finally clear. He was a man. Assuredly a Michigan man. Tyler was Mr. Maize.

Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Title] The main takeaway I got from [Body]

Output: The main takeaway I got from this past weekend is that Minnesota is indeed that good. Indiana played 10 minutes of the best basketball you'll ever see and then Minnesota came right back at them and whittled it away until the end. IU was the beneficiary of some inconsistent officiating as well. Of course, just my opinion. The refs mainly let them play until about 15 minutes remaining in the second half when ever close whistle went against Minnesota. Bottom line, if a team doesn't play at least their B+ game on the road against any of the top half teams in the conference, winning on the road is going to be close to impossible. The conference is just that loaded. We're getting 7 teams in the tourney at least (UM, IU, MSU, ILL, MINN, WIS, OSU) and Iowa is good enough to make it if they can take care of the bottom of the conference and pull two upsets at home. It's a shame that we probably can't get multiple 1 seeds with Kansas, Duke and Louisville playing in conferences that are experiencing relatively down years. Because I think we have three of the top six teams in the country in this conference. Good luck getting out with less than 4 losses no matter how it shakes.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 3 days ago [Body] The fact that the victim was able to write such a detailed account of what occurred during her ptsd related panic attack makes me think she is probably exaggerating a little. Either way, hopefully mentally she and the dog are okay and are able to return to campus and continue to be as independent as they were. These two dudes probably didn't give a shit and think they can do whatever the fuck they want on campus. After all the impending negativity, punishment and embarassment they will probably face, hopefully they will actually learn something and be able to change for the better. [Title]

Output: The fact that the victim was


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I won't make excuses for injuries, and Beilein won't either - I like that. I also think these guys played well tonight. Little things here and there that our guys do well and don't do well. Most notably though, end of game defense - need to work on that full court press more so we're not giving up decent half court looks with a few seconds left. Those go in sometimes, and it sucks when they do. Also - WTF inbounding? Does not look like this is something we practice. Not sure about the late game offense. By late game, I mean regulation only. Overtime offense does not exist. I think the lack of any offensive sets being run in the last few regulation possessions help create the nosedive we've fallen into during overtimes. [Title]

Output: I won't make excuses for


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 1 day ago [Body] The injuries and losses to graduation/NBA have really taken a toll this season. Beilein and the staff HAVE to recruit better. McGary was a huge get for us, but we haven't really seen any uptick from the final four run which is really frustrating. I get that we're looking for high character guys, but a one and done player isn't the end of the world. It's not the end of the world this year, the guys we have will be here a few more years and will develop and get better, I just wonder why the coaches are so patient (which is great) when they don't have to be. [Title]

Output: The injuries and losses to

Meyer is a great coach, no doubt. I hope our new coach watched these games today, because if anything he'll see the challenge in front of him and level of competitiveness it will take. He probably digs that shit, [Title]

Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] It's funny to think what Schlissel and Hackett 's meetings must be like. On one hand you have Hackett, who has worked in the office furniture business for 30 years and on the other you have Schlissel, an Ivy League stalwart with a phd in physiological chemistry. After they are done talking about AD business, what kind of subjects do they make small talk about? Chairs? Microscopes? Let's hope this doesn't turn into another sitcom. [Title]

Output: It's funny to think what


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] My only worry is that the relationship between the 49ers front office/president and Jim Harbaugh is so bad that they would actively attempt to prevent him from being able to take the Michigan job they know he probably wants. I just want this coaching search and hire to JUST BE A COACHING HIRE. Want it to be clean quick and painless. No planes, no boats, no pissed off former teams/schools with lawsuits, no preemptive ESPN breaking news reports about who the hire will be. Just hire the guy. [Title]

Output: My only worry is that the


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Will Muschamp looked like a coach who's probably getting canned and just coached like he didn't give a shit. He looked like he actually wanted to keep the job. Hoke is just a chump. Our players play and won the game for each other, it had NOTHING to do with the coaches. [Title]

Output: Will Muschamp looked like a


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Unbelievable to me that people still complain about the students not showing up or leaving early. Sure it was mostly empty in the top of the student section, but it was noticably empty near the top of most sections and that was even more apparent after the half. It was cold, more cold than most expected. Season tickets were expensive (and prices were raised, thanks dave) for a fairly bad schedule and sales were down. This has not been a successful season, Michigan hasn't been great in quite some time. The following that some of the older fans have just isn't there right now. I do believe that with a new AD and the right hire of a new coach, things can change fast. There is talent on that football team, it just is not being recognized, utilized properly or developed. Just an epic failure all around by this coaching staff. A good staff will be able to make it work and ease the pain of what looks like will be an off year in recruiting. They should lower prices even more than what DB promised as a show of good faith. [Title]

Output: Unbelievable to me that


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 6 days ago [Body] People care about Michigan athletics, so much that even when they absolutely suck they still get more coverage than an extremely successful team in East Lansing. If they feel this way, the athletes should NEVER call it The Big House because it's muggles and even others who never even went to the damn school paying to be there. I really don't believe that many athletes feel that way. I've noticed David Brandon has had a ton of support from the a) super rich donors and b) the successful alums involved in the media. He was probably a huge suck up and catered to their every need. I could definitely see him kind installing a culture among the athletic campus that they were the true and visible ambassadors to the University. That is true to an extent, but if you continually force that view on people it can turn negative fast. I'm definitely glad he's gone but I do think that some of the facility improvements yet to be completed that he had a huge hand in will help ease the negativity on his short legacy. It is very ironic that all those mentions he made of a full overhaul of the student IM building never panned out.... [Title]

Input: [Date] 39 weeks 4 days ago [Body] They could definitely negotiate a resignation scenario where Hoke gets the 2015 buyout money now at the benefit of the program. Could probably make a package to pay Brandon a little less too to part ways now. They won't take it, and it is a lot of money to just leave on the table, but based on all their talk about their love for Michigan, etc. you'd think they would. They don't care about anything but the money at this point. The way Hoke has apologized to Dantonio for this stupid stake incident shows me a level of weakness that you never want out of a leader. It's almost like he's trying to show everyone that even though he is a terrible coach, he is still a "good man" so that he can get hired doing something after he's done @ Michigan. Whatever happens, that money they save by keeping this circus going should definitely be put RIGHT back in to the new coaching staffs salary. BEST AVAILABLE coaching staff with experience winning/developing players in the NFL or top tier of college football (BCS). Knowledge of the Michigan tradition? Former Player? Those two things are great, but not necessary. No point in getting all excited for Harbaugh or Miles when realistically neither of them are coming. [Title]

Output: They could definitely


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 5 days ago [Body] It will be awesome when the current players see the difference between the joke of a coaching staff we have now, to the elite coaching staff that will be brought in next.

Input: [Date] 39 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Of the 8 Regents, 2 are Republican, 6 are Democrats. David Brandon is a Republican. Politics as usual in Ann Arbor? GOD DAMNIT I HOPE SO. Maybe Denise Illitch can get Brandon a pizza gig again? Or maybe Michigan Governor (and alum) Rick Snyder wins his re-election campaign and needs to fill a high profile spot on his staff. I'm convinced Hoke is done at the end of the season to save $1 million, but my biggest fear is Brandon somehow survives. Schlissel's statement at the last Regents meeting makes me think that Brandon is also gone but I guess you never know. [Title]

Output: Of the 8 Regents, 2 are


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I don't think it was that Hoke didn't care and wanted him to play even if he was concussed. I think it was that Hoke has no idea what is going on, the game overwhelms him. That is still unacceptable and he has to go. [Title]

Input: [Date] 44 weeks 24 min ago [Body] Harbaugh or Miles or bust. They won't be long term, I suspect Harbaugh would eventually head back to the NFL and Miles is already getting up there. But at least they would get something respectable going for the next guy. Or you could go young and try to get someone like Sumlin or Kingsbury. Someone who has shown they can actually coach part of the game (WEAR A HEADSET BECAUSE THEY ARE INVOLVED IN THE GAME), build a great staff (at the highest levels of college football) and recruit. [Title]

Output: Harbaugh or Miles or bust.

Input: [Date] 44 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Ausmus has shown to be as stupid and old school as Leyland. Verlander is struggling now because he was used waaay too much in the years previous. Leyland would leave him in for complete games when he could have pulled in in the 6th. You'd think the younger Ausmus would be more in touch with what's going on and not go with starters after the 7th (or beyond 80-90 pitches) but he won't. If I was Scherzer I would take the money and hit the road. [Title]

Output: Ausmus has shown to be as


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I still don't think we're at the point where it is a foregone conclusion that Hoke will be fired, but I do hope that when it comes to that point they release him immediately instead of waiting. The buyout is $3 million before 2015 and $2 million after, but I think Manchester United vs. Real Madrid can pay for that extra million. I would definitely become more of a soccer fan. =) [Title]

Input: [Date] 44 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Hoke should be done at the end of the season. He's really proved to be dead weight on his own staff. I don't care whether or not he wears the headset, but I'm not sure anyone is entirely sure what he does during the game. I just hope everyone is respectful throughout all the impending frustration. The players seem to be getting worse as time goes on. We have a true freshman starting at left tackle because his technique and ability haven't been destroyed by our terrible offensive line coach yet. This is a coaching staff meant for a lower tier of football, they are not capable of taking some of the most talented high school players to the next level. I hope they do decide to play Morris (and even Bellomy, Speight can redshirt), because whether Hoke is here or not next season, those guys will definitely will be and it just seems like a good decision for the program going forward. Where did our screen game go? Roll outs? Screens to Norfleet were moving the ball great @ ND. QB roll outs seem like a no brainer with our struggling offensive line and athletic quarterback. Either someone is meddling into Nussmeier's offensive game plan OR Alabama told him to hit the road and it only looked like we lured him away. [Title]

Input: [Date] 46 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Everything is terrible. Maybe this was just a hiccup? Maybe me saying that is my own delusion. They just lost what I thought was the most winnable rivalry game. I'm assuming ohio state offensive line and qb will get better as the season goes on, because that is what average to good coaching staffs do over a season.

Output: It was a line drive off the bat and as a base runner you are taught to freeze. Obviously getting doubled up there would have been disastrous. I can understand in the heat of the moment that she had a mental breakdown when she froze. I think Hutch needs to help her there though. I didnt see how vocal she was but she needs to yell at her to go once the ball hits the ground.

Output: Red has said that he will leave the hockey program when he feels the time is right. He also has two years on his contract and I don't see why he wouldn't coach those two years. John Bacon feels the same way also. At least the team is young and if we don't have a Michigan hockey summer then the team could be a real contender next year.

They also did a Braylon Edwards navy throwback jersey and they did a navy Desmond Howard throwback jersey.

Output: Hahaha, you really think that the jerseys of good players with nameplates were obtained from the garage sale? It's called having connections and I would know because his friend hooked me up with jerseys also. Have you seen any decent players with nameplates on eBay? I didn't think so.


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Title] So you must know who this guy [Body]

Output: So you must know who this guy because you apparently saw him take and buy 100 jerseys from the garage sale. He got the jersey for his wife and the jersey didnt fit his wife so he had no use for it. He bought 4 jerseys to wear so its not like he bough 30, and yes if he wanted to buy a shit ton more he could have but he isnt one of those people. Maybe you shouldnt assume these fact because it makes you look like a douche. And names dont mean jack shit. Just take a look at ebay, you seem to look everyday and complain about how people post a million jerseys. If you saw pictures of the garage sale you would have noticed that there were 8 full racks of jerseys and that there were plenty of jerseys for everybody. I was just saying that everyone knows there is a huge market for Michigan stuff and when you sell over 1000 game and practice jerseys you know some are going up on ebay. I dont see you calling the two people assholes who won spring game jerseys through mgoblue and then quickly put them up on ebay to make a profit. For the record, my friend lives in Chelsea and doesnt need to use the excuse of paying for gas and whatever you want to add to that.


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Title] The guy from Belleville has [Body]

Output: The guy from Belleville has one jersey up on ebay. He is a friend of mine and only bought like 4 jerseys for him to keep aside from the Ezeh. So dont be calling him one of those douche bags that puts up a million jerseys when he only has one up. You can blame David Brandon for putting over 800 jerseys for sale last year and then over 8 racks of jerseys this year. And people can post all the jerseys they want, I bet you 75% of those will still be on ebay next year. There are jerseys on ebay that were obtained from the garage sale last year that are still on ebay.

Well these gloves werent Adidas gloves, these were some other company who mades gloves that were good for wet/rainy games. Big Jon handed them out that game and I guess Adidas was not to happy with them wearing some random company. So now UM players have to wear Adidas gloves no matter the weather or Adidas gets pissed. I love DB but I always give him crap for whatever he can do to make money to help the university like T-Shirts for these one time games or anything the team wears he tries to get it in the MDEN stores. Yet, I sometimes end up being one of those people that end up in MDEN purchasing one of those warmups or workout shirts....oops


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 days ago [Title] I cant wait for the season to [Body]

Output: I cant wait for the season to start so we dont have to argue about dumb things like this. And I think a lot of people, including Denard, would have said the same thing about Penn State and Joe Paterno at that time.


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 days ago [Title] I have a buddy that knows Big [Body]

Output: I have a buddy that knows Big Jon and he got me two pairs of twin city socks. One pair is a navy blue Mohair Tube pair and they are amazing in the winter, by far the most comfortable socks I have ever worn. The second pair is the white with the black M's on there. The package just saus "TCK Performance". He said that these socks were the wrong length. They are really comfortable as well, essentially the same as the navy ones I have.


Input: [Date] 3 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Any chance that we can [Body]

Output: Any chance that we can nominate Brock Mealer for next years Jimmy V award...I know its a little late but I feel like he would make a great recipient.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] Two I can think of... [Body]

Output: 2007 Ohio State: The offense never showed up and neither did the offensive line at the point of attack. I almost lost it at the Michigan bar in DC at the end of the game. Plus, it was the end of a season that saw The Horror and Oregon--Carr's unfortunate sunset, so a lot of frustration came out. 2014 Minnesota: Concussion-gate. When I watch games on TV with friends, I'm OK. When I watch by myself...I'm yelling and screaming. A lot of yelling and screaming, a lot of pounding the coffee table, happened that game. The fact that nobody on that staff could figure out Morris had a concussion or even attempted to take his helmet away was unconscionable.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Went to the Maryland-MSU game last year [Body]

Output: My buddies (MSU grads) and I first thought about taking Metro from Northern Virginia, but we knew between construction and just the system's complete unreliability that it could take us almost 2 hours to get back late at night. That said, if you want to take Metro, UMD has shuttle busses that will take you to campus and drop you off near the stadium (or wherever you may are tailgating). What my friends did was drive to the College Park Metro stop, parked there (it's free on the weekends), and took the shuttle bus to campus. We ended up walking back to the Metro station from campus after the game, which ended up being a 30-minute walk (but doable).


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Just my opinion but... [Body]

Output: I'd love it if the university seal came back on the shoulders. They were worn on the jersey during my undergrad years. Unfortunately, the complete de-emphasis of the seal across the university pretty much means that won't happen. Note: I was not a fan of the "shiny" maize jersey options during those years (nor the use of the Colorado Avalanche lettering/numbering). But definitely bring back the script Michigan.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Thanks...I was a big BB fan [Body]

Output: Thanks...I was a big BB fan growing up watching the local Detroit channels for news. I was fairly bummed when he got canned in January 1995, but it was understandable--he just couldn't control the drinking habit. When WXYZ put the compilation of best commentaries out and the one with him railing against college football and Michigan-OSU...until the twist at the end, it was worth making that an avatar haha.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] One of my favorites...love the scene when they're [Body]

Output: One of my favorites...love the scene when they're watching the Michigan vs MSU game and Bo makes a cameo appearance on the TV screen.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I was at the Yerevan Republic [Body]

Output: I was at the Yerevan Republic Square (aka their ancestral Armenia homecoming) concert back on April 23 and SOAD absolutely rocked. They still have it. If the set list is anything similar to their European tour, it will be most of the stuff off their previous albums...plus a couple covers of some patriotic Armenian songs and a 3-4 part political cartoon on genocide (which is why they're doing the tour first place).


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Title] McHenry lost her cool, no [Body]

Output: McHenry lost her cool, no question. But that towing company, Advanced Towing, in Arlington (VA), is notorious for predatory towing and I'd go far as to say they're one of the most unscrupulous companies on the planet. This article says that she may have been rightfully parked when she was towed. That said, she lost her cool and definitely should have known better and could have handled it better since now Advanced Towing likely gets away scot free. The fact she continued her tirade after looking up at the security camera was a facepalm moment if there ever was one. I know a few people that got towed by Advanced and shouldn't have, but they don't give a damn. They want your money any which way they can. http://www.arlnow.com/2015/04/16/video-espn-reporter-berates-advanced-to...


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I'm watching the Runnin' [Body]

Output: I'm watching the Runnin' Rebels HBO documentary right now and I didn't realize Tark and Smith coached against each other in the 1977 Final Four. Both now gone. Sad day for basketball and my fellow Armenian-Americans who really looked up to Tark (and Tark was proud of his Armenian roots).


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 2 days ago [Title] This [Body]

Output: In the interest of full disclosure (even in the danger of getting flogged on this forum): I used to work at USA TODAY in the sports department (my boss was an ex-Daily editor who initially wrote "Go Blue!" when he responded to my CV/resume for that gig). In fact, at one point there were quite a few ex-Michigan Daily writers/editors employed by the paper. If I were still there, I probably would have had to publish this article since I used to work with the college sports desk. The National sports media won't delve deep into this stuff--they only write what they can see. Like a few others have mentioned, they won't think about what the future may hold. Only that "Michigan lost out on Clark and Marshall...UCLA grabbed a whole bunch of highly-ranked players...etc." It's very superficial and I'm not a big fan of it either. But like stated before: It's all clickbait to rile up the fanbases. We know better--Harbaugh can develop these guys to play like studs. That's all there is to it.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 2 days ago [Title] SI also put Michigan in the loser column [Body]

Output: Sports Illustrated put Michigan in the loser column as well. http://www.si.com/college-football/2015/02/04/national-signing-day-winne... Let's be honest: We won't know if we're a "winner" or "loser" for another 2-3 years when this class develops and shakes out. So I take these recaps with a grain of salt just like the NFL draft grades that come out one day after that's all said and done.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Jim Harbaugh will flip these recruits for real [Body]

Output: He'll flip ya for real
