Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Body] I agree with you Hoek. For whatever reason, I am optimistic that he ends up at Michigan. Malik's recruitment has made no sense and no one has really known much. With that said, why not shock everyone and lead people to believe he isn't going to Michigan to then commit here. Also, I think his parents decision will have an impact on his decision and they love Michigan. [Title]

Output: I agree with you Hoek. For


Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Body] I don't really have a second favorite team in college athletics. I didn't even go to Michigan, but I could care less about what other teams do. However, I will occassionally root for Ball State since I went there. If this were to include pro sports than I would say Tigers, Lions, Red Wings, Pistons in that order. [Title]

Output: I don't really have a second


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Body] I appreciate you creating this thread. I 100% agree with how instrumental he has been in helping our guards progress as well as they have. I know this has been reiterated in this thread, but thank you Butler for not hiring Coach L. [Title]

Output: Lol thanks for posting this.


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] Yes I am very excited for the 2014 season now. It was clear Borges was a giant liability to this team. His arrogance led to our offense being wildly inconsistent. He never took personal blame for bad playing call and the whole mantra of "we didn't execute" was a terrible excuse for his failures as an offensive coordinator. We win the Penn State, Nebraska, and probably Iowa game if Borges wouldn't have been so arrogant. Hopefully this leads to more staff changes (Funk, possibly Mallory). Even if these changes don't happen, I still expect improvement next year. The offensive line may still struggle, but hopefully it doesn't struggle enough where our offense is largely incompetent like it was this year. Go Blue! [Title]

Output: Yes I am very excited for the

Output: Thank God this happened. I


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Body] Fire him now. No point in keeping him on any longer since the team has already quit. I have never seen a team with so much talent be as undisciplined as the Lions. Fire the entire coaching staff to be honest. Scott Linehan is a terrible offensive coordinator. I still can't believe how much Stafford has regressed throughout the year. The defense can never make a key defensive stop and have some of the most ridiculous personal foul penalties throughout all of their games. With Green Bay losing the divison has pretty much been given to the Bears. Makes me want to puke. [Title]

Output: Fire him now. No point in


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Body] No it won't salvage the season, but it would be great to beat OSU. I would then wonder how we could beat OSU and somehow lose to PSU and almost lose to Akron and UCONN. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] I agree that McGary should have been the regions MOP, but Burke has been the heart and soul of this team all year so I don't mind him taking this honor. Also, that is an awesome shirt. I am still debating on whether I want to get that shirt or the shirt the players were wearing after the game. Hell, I might just get both. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] For some reason this game scares me. Mike Anderson likes to do his 40 minutes of hell and I am just hoping our freshman can handle the defensive pressure that Arkansas brings. Also, BJ Young has the potential to always go off for 20-30 points. I believe this game will be close throughout, but Michigan pulls away in the end. Michigan 80 Arkansas 70 [Title]

Output: For some reason this game


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] Thanks for the analysis. I always enjoy reading these and hopefully we play much better then how we played on Saturday.

Output: That's all understood. Though i tend to be a bit more realistic about the expectation is for the position stuff. I expect the backup (smith in this case most likely) to be servicable in case of season injury. But again, fall is a long way away.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I'm reserving all judgement [Body]

Output: I'm reserving all judgement till the fall. But I also expect Issac to be the #1 RB. Hard to get too worried about the run game when one of the players is out with injury.

Let's go fast, it's going to be fun.' It wasn't anything like that. It was, 'I'm going to kick your (butt) and make you fast.' ... I think that's why you bring in a guy like that."


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I like them. Love how they [Body]

Again, simple, traditional, distinctly OSU. I'll get off your lawn now.

Output: I am hoping recruits take this into account when selecting a school. Knowing that you will not lose a scholarship if you do not perform well or the team recruits too many people at your position.

We are leaving Friday night and are also looking for RV parking/tailgating for the game. Obviously we would like to tailgate with as many Mich fans as possible. Since the game is a night game I am assuming/hoping if we get to the stadium early enough we shouldn’t have an issue finding a place. If people are interested in trying to group up that would be cool too. The more allies the better

Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Body] I hate all SUVs. Mostly because I associate them with pretentious people who don't even know what a dirt road looks like. I'm fairly certain 99.9999999% of SUVs are never used for what they are meant. Let's add 2-wheel drive pick-up trucks while we're at it. Also, I hate the Dodge Viper. I had experience one summer in an engine shop that works on the blocks for the Viper. They are a junk design. You said you wanted irrational. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Yeah my daily driver is a manual. '99 Escort with 282,000 miles. The shift linkage is so loose now I have to tell my wife to move her leg when I shift to 5th gear. I refuse to put any money into this car becuase I know as soon as I do it'll die. Also, I can't use the E-brake for steep uphill starts because it doesn't work anymore. I thought about adjusting it so it would start working again, but then I realized if I did I'd probably have to change the rear brakes (which are original). Also, no ABS, traction control, or cruise control. I don't want to spoil myself. I grew up racing motocross so the transition to a stick shift car was fairly easy. Just different coordination. [Title]

Output: Yeah my daily driver is a


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Fair enough. I think you are ignoring a lot of other good vehicles out there, and honestly that's still not a lot of data points to base an opinion. If you really want decent generalized opinions of car manufacturers you better talk to independant mechanics who are young (in their 30's and 40's). Yeah I do highly recommend a manual transmission if you can learn to drive it in a way that it will last. I drive one, and it's bullet-proof. Manuals have much fewer moving parts that go bad, and if you learn how to sync the engine with the driveshaft as you release the clutch, you'll never have to replace it. I bought my current car with 85,000 miles and had to replace the clutch at 100,000 because the old lady who drove it before me kept the clutch pushed in at every stop. The actual clutch surface was fine, but the throw-out bearing was shot. So after I put a new clutch kit in it that I bought for $85 on Ebay, I haven't had to touch it. I'm at 282,000 miles right now. Find someone with a stick-shift pickup truck. Those clutches are really easy to replace when they go bad, so if you destroy it, it'll be easier to help him fix it. [Title]

Output: Fair enough. I think you are

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Wow misinformation all over the place in this thread. I can't believe how many people give their ONE experience with a specific make/model and assume everyone else will experience the same. Please don't buy a car based on someone's anecdote. I'd really like to know why you want a Honda so bad? My advice is the opposite of the guy who said he preferred dealerships. I think you get a better deal from a private seller and if you're any good at reading people you'll know if the person is trying to screw you over right away. Reliability ratings or reputations are complete BS. This all comes from companies like consumer reports who create a reliability rating on a car that is brand new. That's impossible. The only way to judge reliability is with age, and by the time a model gets old you have no idea how reliable the new versions will be. It's crap. A car is only as reliable as the driver makes it. So you can either buy a new car and treat it with care forever and it'll last 300,000 miles or you can try to find someone who has already done that to a car and depreciated it down to something you can afford. One other thing, don't buy a car with a manual transmission if you don't know how to shift them properly. Practice on someone's beater or a rental car first. You'll just end up ruining the very car you're trying to take care of. [Title]

Will you be using the tv's speakers? Soundbar? AVR with separate speakers? Will you also be using this display to watch blu-ray movies? For the money, projectors can't be beat. If you have a place to mount it, I would highly recommend it. You can get some 1080p projectors that shoot a TON of light for under $700. The only problem is you have no speakers, but with the money saved I would recommend a 5.1 AVR and some separates. [Title]

Other than that, it was my wife's choice. She got to name the kid if it was a girl, I got to name the kid if it was a boy. Well my wife ended up being in complete disagreement with the OP rule #2. She loves boys names that sound cool for a girl (Taylor, Cameron, Blake, etc). We ended up choosing Cameron.

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Body] This is such an impossible question to answer for someone like me. Seinfeld will always be my favorite tv show, and I pride myself on knowing way more than I should about the show and its episodes. So rather than pick 1 favorite episode, I'll list some of my favorite parts in chronological order: 1 - The old lady in "The Pony Remark" because she was EXACTLY like my omi from germany. Also Jerry's dad getting upset over how much the funeral is going to cost him. 2 - "The Chinese Restaurant" because it was the epitomy of the show....a show about nothing 3 - Kramer in a mad-dash to find a seat on the subway and comes up empty handed 4 - George being as picky as humanly possible with regard to the appearance of a woman that Jerry and Elaine are trying to set him up with. Rosy cheeks with a pinkish hue, whether or not he can get his hand out of her hair after running through it, etc 5 - "The Bubble Boy" episode for all of the insensitivities.....Jerry using the napkin to wipe his face rather than cry into it, George asking for the change back from the tolls while the cabin is burning down, and Kramer panicking because his cuban cigars are burning up. 6 - "The Contest" as a whole was hilarious. I especially love Kramer indirectly referring to the fact that he masturbates every day, but Elaine doesn't shave her legs every day. 7 - "Looking at cleavage is like looking at the sun....you don't stare at it. It's too risky. You get a sense of it then you look away!!" 8 - "A leg man? Why would I be a leg man? I don't need legs, I have legs." 9 - The entire Junior Mint episode. 10 - "Pig man baby, pig man." 11 - "The Dinner Party" episode where George is upset that they can't just show up as guests. They are expected to bring a bottle of wine and a dish. I'm totally with George on this one. I hate being invited somewhere and expected to provide anything but my sparkling conversation. 12 - "The Marine Biologist" for George's final account of everything at the end. "I won't lie to you boys.....I was terrified!" 13 - Fireman: "How do you live with youself?" George: "It's not easy." 14 - The entire "Opposite" episode. 15 - George and Jerry obsessing over George's girfriend taking credit for his big salad. 16 - "What the hell, I'll just eat some trash!" 17 - Kramer selling the clothes he's wearing to Bania without thinking about how he'll get home. 18 - My two all-time favorite scenes involve George getting engaged. First when Jerry and George have a heart-to-heart about how immature they are and how they have to start growing up "What in god's name are we doing? We're like children. We're not men." "No we're not. We're not men." Then the entire scene when George freaks out about the engagement and seeks Jerry's guidance on postponing it. When Jerry backs him up, and George says he's such a good friend he wouldn't turn Jerry in if he killed someone. Then Kramer enters and claims that he would turn Jerry in. That was comedic genious. 19 - There's a very subtle part in "The Pool Guy" episode where Susan ends up replacing George as the 4th member of the group at the coffee shop. When George arrives late and sees that there's no seat for him, he lets out th emost hilarious grunt/yell and storms out of the resaurant. That was Jason Alexander at his finest. Similar to when he yells out "Stickin' it!" and "Okay we're taking it up a notch. You wanna get nuts, let's get nuts!!!" 20 - Kramer's acting when "Rusty" gets gassy from the Beeforino 21 - "The Shower Head" episode when the back alley dealer says "What are you looking for?" and Kramer responds with "Power man....power." 22 - "That kid was like a son to me, and if there's anyone you should be able to hold down it's your own flesh and blood!" 23 - "The Fatigues" episode, which should have been called "The Protoge" episode. I think I quote that one the most becuase of jerry's suggestion to Bania for an Ovaltine joke: "Why do they call it ovaltine? The mug is round. The jar is round. They should call it Roundtine...............That's gold Jerry! Gold!" 24 - "You know, if this tenant board is so impressed with suffering, maybe you should tell them the "Astonishing Tales of Costanza"" 25 - The Little Jerry chicken pecking away and some boxing training gloves. 26 - Newman walking into the back stockroom to "clean" up a situation. Then proceeds to start eating piles and piles of muffin stumps. 27 - "So that means each of us would only have to be like a half man? That's sounds about right!" 28 - The episode with Kramer's intern was hilarious all the way through. Especially when they push the ball of oil out the window. 25 years in the making, then within seconds after failing.... Kramer immediately moves to the next big idea, ketchup and mustard in the same bottle. 29 - Festivus episode where Frank tells the story. "As I rained blows up on him, I realized there had to be another way!" I think my all time favorite part, which sums up the message of the show perfectly, was: Elaine - "I will NEVER understand people!!!" Jerry - "They're the worst." [Title]

Output: This is such an impossible

Input: [Date] 3 days 6 hours ago [Body] Can someone check whether I'm understanding this correctly? No snark, honestly curious/confused. So Mullen is saying that coaches are sometimes forced (or wanting) to play true freshmen. With more true freshmen soon to be ineligible because of their relatively low high school GPAs, these coaches will play true freshmen with higher high school GPAs who would benefit from a redshirt. Since those kids kind of get screwed in this scenario, he thinks they should be able to play five years of college football if their grades were good enough coming in. Is that right? If so, it's intriguing enough not to just respond with an eye roll. It would give kids a strong incentive to get their high school grades up and schools a stronger incentive to recruit kids with good grades (though the new policy might do that, too). At the same time, it's a pretty radical idea (five years of eligibility) and I'm not sure that the problem is big enough to justify that solution. [Title]

Output: Can someone check whether I'm


Input: [Date] 3 days 11 hours ago [Body] I don't know, but maybe it's because he's still an active player? To the broader issue, I think it's sad that they totally killed the legends jersey concept. There was a lot to like about it. It kept numbers in circulation, allowed those numbers to be used in recruiting, kept Michigan legends in the fronts of our minds, and made for a really original way to acknowledge of a program's history. They made some mistakes with it - e.g., making the patches too big and encouraging guys to switch numbers - but those felt like relatively easy fixes. I think they threw out the baby with the bath water with that one. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 days 15 hours ago [Body] A pretty severe punishment? Come on, he pulled a gun on a fellow student. One of the most nauseating comments around here is this idea that since bad things have happened at Michigan, we're just as bad as everyone else and have no right to comment on anything. Do you honestly think that Delton Williams would remain with the Michigan football program if he did that to a Michigan student? Do you think the University of Michigan would allow that? Hell, in your one example (Gibbons), we have a direct comparison point with MSU. As shitty as Gibbons' conduct seemed, Michigan handled that incident a whole lot more seriously than MSU handled the Payne and Appling incident. MSU had a Final Four streak to preserve, after all. If Michigan did this, it'd be the lead story on ESPN, the Free Press, and damn near every other publication in America. Hell, Keith Heitzman possibly not getting a fifth scholarship year managed to become the top news story on Yahoo. Maybe that scrutiny and the lack of attention that MSU gets leads us to self-police differently, or maybe it's something else (e.g., our athletic department's power being more constrained by others in the university), but I have a really hard time believing that this would play out similarly at UM.

Input: [Date] 1 week 3 hours ago [Body] I agree. By my count, there are 55 four-star WRs in this year's 247 composite rankings and 50 of them are at least 6 feet tall. The only way I ever really see recruiting sites evaluated is by how well their rankings predicted NFL draft status. In terms of college productivity, I'd guess that they tend to overrate kids with NFL bodies who might take a long time to develop as players and underrate kids likely to be productive in college but unappealing to the NFL. [Title]

Output: I agree. By my count, there

Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] I think the original critique/concern was way overstated, but I'll admit that I have some questions, too. I'd feel great about all of the low-rated guys if those guys were clearly at the top of our coaches' lists. But they've given out a ton of offers this year, so it hasn't been quite that targeted. And I'm a little uneasy about how many teammates/brothers/etc. of high-level recruits seem to be getting offers. At times it seems like we're willing to use two or three roster spots to (maybe) get one top guy. Unless it's for a Rashan Gary-level recruit, I'm not sold on that approach. Having said that, I'll cut the coaches - and especially these coaches - a ton of slack on guys they've worked with at camps. And I agree with WolvinLA that recruiting, while important, gets so much attention now that its importance is exaggerated. It's also nice to see comments from Drevno, at Michigan [link] and before then [link], that basically say Harbaugh's the best talent evaluator he's ever seen. [Title]

Output: I think the original


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Body] So you're telling me that if Mitchell, who's supposedly down to Michigan and OSU, tried to commit to OSU then Meyer would basically tell him, "That's okay. Go to Michigan."? Yeah, I'm a little skeptical of that one. [Title]

Output: Just so people understand, after the the NFL season ends, other NFL teams cannot "tamper" with Harbaugh until after the 49ers season and their season ends. The can only talk to Harbaugh with permission of the 49ers. This rule includes approved NFL agents of coaches as well. So, it won't be free season on Jimmy once the NFL season ends.


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] This problem is not just student driven. [Body]

Output: I have been a season ticket holder for well into double digit years. I live in southeastern MI and have two friends who live out of state with tickets right by mine. All toghether we have six seats. We are all young professionals and have the money for the tickets, but we are starting to ask ourselves why we keep paying for season tickets each year. With home game schedules that are very lackluster and family activities, why the hell am I dishing out a couple grand each year to attend two or three games? I love the University, but at what point do I say what the hell am I getting in return for my PSLs and ticket prices? I spent thousands of dollars in tuition for a nice piece of paper. Don't get me wrong, it has opened up some doors that other pieces of paper wouldn't have. But, its getting to the point where I can have a few friends and family over, not worry about having a few beverages, and watch the game on really nice TV. I am happy with this. My buddies come into town once or twice a year to go to games and we have a great time together, but they are starting to feel like I do. Stubhub is becoming a more and more attractive option. Please don't get mad at me for this post, because it is reality.

Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Title] The genesis of Pancheros in Ann Arbor... [Body]

Output: Pancheros has been around the longest in A2 by far. In the 90's, Pancheros made the burritos with meat, refried beans and the rest of the veggies(lettuce, tomato, and what not but no rice). The El Gordo, a 2lb burrito but bigger at 2am, was a mainstay of the late night drunk crowd. The Pancheros in East Lansing also produced the same food. In the early 2000's, the Pancheros were bought out by a large holding company and turned into a chain. Basically all of the Qboda, Chipotle, and what not are the same except for some spins on ingredients. They are chain restaurants that you will find some are better than others. The El Gordo is a legendary burrito that the Fab Five, Charles Woodson, and other Michigan legends have been witnessed eating in the 90's.

It all is going to depend on how the rankings shake out and which match ups will be the most attrractive for at large BCS bids. The Fiesta bowl people were at the Nebraska game and the Sugar bowl people never made it to a game. I don't know if that means anything.

Output: I was there. I worked for Merck when Vioxx was launched. Vioxx was not a perfect medication but it did help some people. Physicians are not infallible in the Vioxx case because they were presrcibing the medication to high risk individuals. People that were not studied. Frazier was not even around when the drug was being studiedand launched to the public. I no longer work in that industry, but know a few things about the industry and I know that other similar dugs were yanked at the same for the same reasons. The OP is ignorant in this case. For the OP to relate to link the drug company circumstances and the CEO to the current situation at Penn State is absolutely ludicrous. I know everything I read on the interweb is TRUE!!!

Output: all the reasons some on this board are upset. Denard is a great role model at this point in his life, therefore if he used a Cam Newton, his point would have been muddled because Newton already has a terrible connotation associated with his name. By using Denard, he gives an example of a fine upstanding man and football player and how fans and media go bonkers over a young man making a decision that could affect his entire life and creating a situation empowering an individual to affext something bigger than himself. It is much more meaningful than talking about someone who has already been dogged to death by fans and media.

(And BTW the greek average is slightly higher than the all campus average.) They deserved to have their charter pulled. Their actions are a stain on the reputation of every Michigan student and alumni. I feel like the SDTs kind of got shafted though if their worst crime was standing around and watching it happen. I find it hard to believe they could have done much to stop it once things started getting out of control. Maybe they are refusing to name the chief perps out of some sense of friendship. They have to know who the ringleaders were.

I can think of less than 10 fight songs from other schools that are clearly better than Varsity IMHO.

Not a college game per se but I created my own rosters so it worked as such. Lot's of fun designing plays with the play editor. Only thing was you couldn't make it run any sort of option play, any sort of handoff or pitch had to be programmed into the play.

It seems to me though that the buckeyes have cheapened them. It used to be that only 1 or 2 players would have buckeys on both sides of their helmuts, now it seems like everybody has their entire helmut filled up. They should be hard to get.

Based on absolutely complete speculation and the fact that Brian is there I predict the press conference is no later than Monday.

Would he even consider leaving his team before the first ever college playoff? Kind of doubt it. Would Urban let him stay as interim OC through the playoffs? Don't know about that either.

Input: [Date] 43 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Game Theory [Body]

Output: I believe that Brian is technically correct in game theory terms, but I agree more with the posters who point out the psycological reasons why this may not be the best strategy. If you go for 2 on your first score and don't make it (statistically < 50/50?) Then you are still down 3 scores and you haven't really accomplished anything. If you kick the one then you are only down 2 scores + hope. FWIW I have been watching football for a long time, and as far as I know coaches have always advocated and opted for going for 2 later rather than sooner. This doesn't mean that they have necessarily been right all these years, but maybe there is a method to their madness. IMHO there are a lot of more legitimate things to criticize Hoke about.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 2 days ago [Title] think DG has a boo boo [Body]

Output: After forcing myself to watch these replays again I'm pretty convinced that Gardner has some sort of sholder/arm injury he has been trying to play through. His attempts to throw long are few and horribly short. His throwing motion seems worse to me than last year. At first I attributed this to Nuss trying to change his mechanics, but it could also be caused by an injury. He seems to be floating his passes most of the time. I was alarmed by this against Appy State even though he had only one incompletion, nothing had any zip on it. He also seems to get worse as the game goes on, which could also be explained by an injury being irrated by making throws or getting hit. This could also explain some of his apparent hesitation if in the back of his mind he is uncertain if he can make a given throw.

I would crawl from California to Ann Arbor to get the job. vs. Q: Jim, would you be interested in coaching in college at your alma mater? A: Absolutely Not.

I can't remember the specifics. Hope this is something really cool this time. The multiverse theory makes my tummy queezy, so I hope it's not that.


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Title] Aboslutely [Body]

Output: Absolutely the right call. Best case scenario in OT short of a turnover was keeping pace with them and having to go for two in third OT anyway. Better to go then while their defense is realing and we have the Mo. Odds are we would be big underdogs in OT scenario.


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] Let's look at the other side of the coin again [Body]

Output: Given that the argument that the statistical odds of Michigan this season picking up the first down are considerably less than the average 30% is undeniable, given the weather conditions, and other factors already discussed, the odds of wining the game if we score a touchdown are also likely much greater than the 70% given by Mathalete. Also does anyone remember if the ball was between or on the hashes? I don't remember. Very short field goals are much more difficult from the hash marks because of the angle. Is it possible that the coaches know that Gibbons may have trouble on short angle kicks from one side or the other?


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] Agree with call [Body]

Output: While, like seemingly everyone else I hated the play call. I agree with Hoke and Mathalete. Most of the critics on this post are basing their arguments on Michigans offensive ineptitude - and I can't take exception to that. However they are not looking at the other side of the coin. Consider the following keeping in mind that if we get the touchdown we very likely win the game but if we fail: (1) Michigan's defense was playing well and with the weather conditions NW's offense hadn't been moving the ball much better than we had. (2) They were going into the wind and pinned deep in their own territory if we don't make it, are likely to be conservative and are unlikely to string together more than 1 or 2 first downs if that. (3) given the above and 2 time outs we are likely to get the ball back with plenty of time. (4) their punter was horrible especially punting into the win. So, given assumption (2) if we fail we likely get the ball back with excellent field position, and with the wind at our backs only needing maybe 1 pass completion to get into field goal range. (5) As a general principal I always believe that given a decent chance one should always play for the win on the road and for a tie to go to over time at home. (caveat about NW not being a real road game perhaps applies). (6) If we tie the game NW gest the ball back on the 25 with lots of time and a great field goal kicker, even given major wind problems. I think NW's odds of moving down and getting the field goal they need are much, much better than getting a touchdown if they are down by 4.


Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Title] No and No [Body]

Output: Absolutely not. Sparty has probably the best defence in the country this year. Even when we were at our peak it was always tough playing in EL, probably losing about every other time there. One loss on the road to a good team says nothing about the long term direction of the program.

Output: There are some great interconference rivalries in college sports. In football UM-ND, USC-ND, Texas-OU pre expansion. How about Kentucky/Louisville in hoops? I'm sure they're more. These games are often more "special" in their own way than conference games.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] fair catch rules [Body]

Output: I don't believe the fair catch rule has changed since I started watching footbal as a kid in the early 70's. If anything, punters might have stronger legs making it more likely to outkick the coverage and set up longer returns. On the other hand the spread punt formation in the last few years may be bringing average returns down.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Anthony Carter [Body]

Output: BTW the first time Anthony Carter touched the football at Michigan in his first game as a true freshman he returned a punt to the house for a TD. This was back in the day when there was no coverage of recruting and I had never even heard of the guy. He comes on the field wearing #1 and I'm like holy crap this guy must be good, Bo's never let anyone have #1 before. He fields the punt and Boom!

Output: I think it was that 74 game at MSC, I was watching on TV - does anyone else remember this - They caught this on TV - the MSC "students" rushed the field after the victory and one of them ran up behind Woody as he was walking off the field and put his arm around Woody's shoulder. Woody punched the kid right in the face. The anouncers didn't notice it or it least didn't say anything about it. I thought it was hilarious and confirmed my low opinion of Woody even though I was still in high school at the time.

Output: Here's another important factor: If I get two drinks for a touchdown but I only get to drink once for a field goal, then I go definately go for the touchdown every time.


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] On the whether on to go for it from 3 question: [Body]

Output: I think there is an additional factor to consider in this situation. Is the ball on the hash or in the middle of the field? Because of the severe angle making a field goal from the 3 yard line with the ball on the hash is more difficult than the near certainty of making it if the ball is centered between the goal posts like and extra point. Since the worst case scenario is missing the field goal and giving the opponent the ball on the 20 only needing a field goal to tie, I would lean toward going for the touchdown if the ball is on the hashmarks. If the ball is in the middle of the field it's probably smarter to kick it.

Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Answers [Body]

Output: 1. Personally I'm not expecting much from Rawls. He hasn't shown a lot yet in limited carries. The senior has some good juke but no power and not a lot of speed. He'll pick up some yards; he's also an excellent receiver out of the back field and pass blocker. 2. I'll say this, Robinson always seems faster in the first couple of games of the season before he gets nicked up. Watch out! 3.Absolutely not. 4. I don't think we have a LB "situation", but as we do have a WR situation you will be hurt less by your DBs than we will be our DL. 5. Can't answer before seeing them play. 6. Yes. You have a great D, but Yes. 7. I like our new C, he should be decent. Played quite well at G last season before injury. Moves well 8. Not really, the starters are all veterans, more worried about being somewhat undersized and backups inexperience. 9. Yes definately but they'll need to give your receivers some cushion. 10. Ask our DC, he's a lot smarter than I am. I'd say "some" (?) 11. You seem to labouring under the same underestimation that a lot of opposing fans have of Denard's talents. His problem has been inconsistency, he will fall into a slump for a quarter or a half, where his mechanics slip away from him, and he does not look good. As time has gone on these periods have been farther and farther apart. When he is on, he is really, really good. I expect that he has continued to improve in the off season and these regressive periods will be fewer and farther between. I espect that with his expereince he will be in the top 10 in the nation in passing effeciency this year. You heard it here first. IF he is throwing well, it's very hard to stop our offense, no matter how good you are. 12. Yes definately, although some of them will be true freshman. 13. I don't feel too good about this. We will rotate our DL so they are fresh in the 4th, but I fear there is a big drop off when the subs are in. 14. Your welcome ? Good luck on Saturday. (But not too much)

Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Title] Slow play [Body]

Output: I have 3 thoughts on your Dean Smith offense. 1. It is likely that the refs are actually counting to "30 mississippi" or something and will flag you if you are obviously delaying. 2. We all want to win but this is supposed to be fun. This doesn't sound like a lot of fun - maybe late in the game with a lead ok, but your kind of killing the whole point of it being a game that's supposed to be fun. 3. I used to try this sometimes in computer football games and it oftern didn't work out. My philosphy over the years has evolved to a strong belief that an up tempo style of play gives you more plays and thus more chances to score as many points as possible, and is a better strategy than playing keep away.usually.

Output: You could play 2 deep zones with 2 short zones because of the narrow field and then go man on their 2 best receivers with your two fastest players, or have your girls play (wo)man on their girls.

Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Title] Some ideas from my youth... [Body]

Output: Unlike real football, I don't think good old 7-7 flag football has evolved much over the years. I captained IM football teams all through my years at UM, then in grad school then in the real world in a Chicago Parks league. 1. Don't get too complicated, your inexpereinced players will get confused and frustrated, they will forget if a 7 is a slant or a smash route and just run a simple out pattern. I forsee chaos with suggested system of calling routes at the line. I recommend as others have mentioned, practicing just 3 or 4 plays that can be mirrored (left or right) and then running variations on those as the game progress, for example in the huddle you say " Flood left, but this time Joe goes out and up instead of a 5 yard out." 2. Have your first series scripted, and just run the four plays you practice most in quick succession with no huddle and no signals, just run back to the line and hike the ball as soon as everyone is set. This almost always works if the plays are well practiced, the other team isn't prepared for this. You can do it again later. 3. If legal, have at least one of your set plays involve putting a man in motion. Almost no one ever does this in flag and if there are inexperienced players on the other team this will really confuse them. Depending on how they react you can find ways to capitalize, and it quickly ques you in as to whether they are playing zone and know what they are doing or man. 4. Hope like hell one of your girls is a surprisingly great athelete. 5. The center is the key player on offense. 6. I agree with others who suggest man over zone with inexpereinced players.If you want to get fancy then play a combo scheme with some players in zone and some in man, but now I'm getting carried away. 7. I don't agree with whoever suggested rushing no one, they'll pick you apart. 8. If your rush one consistently, mix up who it is a little to confuse their blocking.Every once in a while blitz 2. 9. on offense the pass blocking is done by a back who lines up next to the QB as you don't know where the blitz is coming from. You can even keep two backs, the one on the side where no ruxh is coming immediately releases into some short route. 10. Good luck! Wish I could play.

Input: [Date] 3 years 3 days ago [Title] Black Company Forever!!! [Body]

Output: I was surprised I got to page 3 of this thread before anyone mentioned the The Black Company by Glen Cook. Someone else mentioned it first but I second his nomination. Cook is an excellent writer, great action sequences interspaced with occasional humerous bits that made me laugh outload. Interesting characters. I loved it. Very original too. I get tired of all the authers trying to imitate Tolkien, few succeed. Cook is completetly refreshing. I also really like Zelazny's Amber series. Very quick read too. Coincidentally Cook's writing style is very similar to Zelazny's As many have said, the w heel of Time starts really well but then just goes on and on without much happening. I gave up after 5 or 6 books when it became clear to me that he was just trying to make as much money as possible off the franchise by churning out more books. Personally I don't care much for Ender's Game that many have suggeted, although Card's writing is excellent, I found him a bit too exestential for my taste. Also anything be Gene Wolf is very interesting. He is an amazing writer, but it's very wierd stuff. Finally, as far as Sci-Fi goes there is a relativley new writer I have enjoyed a lot, Phiilip Farmer, kind of off beat and very fund sci-fi.

Output: In 1976 the football opined the season ranked #1. Got upset by Purdue on the road and lost to #2 USC in the Rose Bowl, ending 10-2. I don't remember the basketball team's record but it ended the the regular season ranked #1, before loosing early in the tournament to NC Charlotte. I think we didn't lose more than 3 or 4 games.
