Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] Is there a point to this [Body]

Output: Is there a point to this thread besides your passive aggressiveness? EDIT: that came off mean-spirited, so let me add this: it is great that you have taken an interest in predictive models. They are fun to examine and even more fun to build. I'd suggest that rather than posting random threads where you multiply two numbers and post a list, or other threads which seem to say "HAHA Kenpom sucks" (although not in those words) that you take the time to read about the various models and how they work. In your previous thread it looked to me that people were more attacking your concept than you. Take it and learn. SECOND EDIT: Screw it, I’ll enjoy Bolivia. This series of threads represents pretty much everything wrong with the internet. Anyone can spew whatever they want, and the result is society fails and people like AJ Mass are employed journalists. Sure, here it is just sports, but the same stuff has terrible outcomes on science (won’t get into it cause of the no politics stuff). Just because you can do basic math doesn’t mean it has any value whatsoever. Kenpom has spent years trying to perfect a predictive model that most of us wouldn’t be able to understand. He has essentially dedicated his life to the issue. But hey guys, look at this, I can take his values and then multiply by another number and get a different ranking! Oh wait, you don’t like this thread! Delete it so I can make another one where I give an N of 1 with absolutely no context. Please just stop for a second and try to learn what others have done before presenting your latest “findings”. I’m done.


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] Do you really think that [Body]

Output: Do you really think that something like Kenpom would be so popular if it didn't already account for strength of schedule? Do you not realize that AdjO and AdjD already do this correction? Might as well just multiply each team's Kenpom by their longitude. It would be just as accurate as what you did.


Input: [Date] 1 year 37 weeks ago [Title] Ace williams is still [Body]

Output: Ace williams is still 16. Chesson blocked 3 ND players on one play. We aren't Florida.

Output: Pretty sure this consitutes bullying and we should be ashamed of ourselves.

Output: doesn't look young at all


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] my apologies, the "always" I [Body]

Output: my apologies, the "always" I recalled was indeed not about the follows but about asking them if they want to talk about recruiting afterwards.


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] While perhaps an honest [Body]

Output: While perhaps an honest mistake, he also tweeted Jack Beneventi to follow back each of the last two days after saying he always does it just once. Then of course perhaps it wasn't an honest mistake, as he said Beneventi was the only one not to immediately reply.


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] yes, this. In my opinion, [Body]

Output: yes, this. In my opinion, the twitter account in question is quite embarassing. It is Brian's blog and he can do what he wants, but I'm very reluctent to continue supporting a blog (through store purchases and page hits) with such practices.


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] so someone got perma banned [Body]

Output: so someone got perma banned for posting a name that had already been on the front page of this site?


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] I have to agree with this. [Body]

Output: I have to agree with this.


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] "I definitely have not talked [Body]

Output: "I definitely have not talked with the parent or the coach of every recruit, but to me that's only necessary if the parents or coaches deem it to be." How are you supposed to know what the parents/coaches of a recruit deem to be necessary if you never talk to them?


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] could we please change this [Body]

Output: could we please change this title to something factually accurate?


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Yeah whats the chances of you [Body]

Output: Yeah whats the chances of you being so lucky to get pointed at by THE MAN. I also say PROVE IT!!


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Yeah the loss yesterday was [Body]

Output: Yeah the loss yesterday was tough to watch..but Ohio is playing for a #1 seed today so were still looking at a solid 3 seed. I have a feeling it will be against Ohio U. The selection commitee loves doing stuff like that.


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Title] Both look like great [Body]

Output: Both look like great talents. I say make room for all of them. Wow two years ago we couldnt find a LB..now we have a chance to be stacked!!


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Title] The main thing in this game [Body]

Output: The main thing in this game is to just get out of there with a "W". I look for PSU to give us their best shot today. Burke an Hardaway will have to play well an I think we will be ok. An for some reason it seems on the road we jack up alot more 3's? Maybe its just me but it seems that way. Just run your sets an then we can all root for the Suckeyes to win..ughh!!


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Wow this is a great o-line [Body]

Output: Wow this is a great o-line class so far. The theme that I keep hearing is that they play with a nasty streak. I think ive read that about all the recent o-line commits. If your a top talent running back in the 2013 class why wouldnt you want to run behind the talent Hoke is bringing in. Hoke and his staff are doing a GREAT JOB on the recruiting trail!!


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Beach Balls are definitely [Body]

Output: Beach Balls are definitely still bouncing around the stadium. I love it when a young kid gets ahold of one and spikes it right in some 60 year old womans face 2 rows down..awesome.


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Title] The 8-0 record in the whites [Body]

Output: The 8-0 record in the whites is an interesting number. I love the maize but I also think we have wore them to much this year. I say white vs. Ohio an up that record to 9-0 in all white this year.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] You have a point of course [Body]

Output: For some reason I just feel we've got them covered this year and they are set up for a fall. Yes it's extreme optimism but its how I feel. Is this scientific at all? Absolutely not. Will I be happy with a gut it out, close win? Of course I will be ecstatic.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Devin will be more ready than you think [Body]

Output: A lot of people on here have been down on Devin since he came in against MSU and failed to win the game. That was a tough situation against a good defense. Devin has not lost the skills that made him a top recruit in the first place and the last three games prove that. I think he will play with great poise and confidence. Our offense will move the ball well in the shoe. Michigan wins handily.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] There never was much hope. [Body]

Output: Just a fools hope.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] I agree [Body]

Output: I know there is a lot of pressure on these kids to commit early but, once you have made a commitment you must stick by that commitment unless there is major change. As in many areas of our society, the word commitment doesn't mean much anymore.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] 42-17 Michigan [Body]

Output: DG has another stellar day. Ohio trying to play catch- up all day . Miller is inaccurate and frustrated when forced to throw most of the day.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] 42 - 17 Michigan [Body]

Output: Repeat score of last week. DG has another stellar day


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Please destroy Iowa [Body]

Output: I have relatives in Iowa (I don't even know why) and they have been insufferable the last three years. That having been said, The game is the most important of every year. IF I had to choose, I would choose a win over Ohio before any other team in any year.

Output: What does RCMB stand for anyway?


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Is Fitz really that bad at finding holes [Body]

Output: Or did he do something to really piss off the o-line. I just can't see why Denard found gaping holes and Fit couldn't hit any. Then Rawls comes in and finds holes like Denard had


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Rawls should start next game [Body]

Output: If nothing else get Fitz's head back in it

Output: I live in Columbus and I come here to get away from those idiots.

Output: when you don't have a mastery of grammar.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Is the argument that we only lost to probable bowl teams? [Body]

Output: Seventy-some teams make bowls. Can I argue we're probably worse than seventy teams? Probably. And we're probably going to lose to the rest of the probable bowl teams on our schedule, and I will probably be drunk and surly during each of those games... Probably.

Output: Once you hit Clare, you know you've made it.


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Title] Columbus residents [Body]

Output: I've lived in Columbus for the past 9 years, and for the most part, it is good natured ribbing. However, I would never put anything on my car or wear Michigan gear to a restaurant. Aside from drunks flexing for their boys, anyone that would do something dispicable wouldn't do it to your face. Like I said, most people are cool, but it only takes one coward to key a car or put some "fromunda" cheese on your steak. That being said, the Convention Center and Arena district is a great place to hang out. The Arnold is a cool event and great for people watching. Be sure to check out the North Market and tsio campus is a short drive up High Street if you want to see what people not smart enough to get into Michigan look like. Go Blue and keep Louisville weird!


Input: [Date] 1 year 24 weeks ago [Title] Cabs in Columbus [Body]

Output: They are ridiculously expensive. COTA busses are notoriously unreliable. There is plenty of cheap parking for the Schott, but you have to ride a shuttle with all of the osu mouth breathers.


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] ohio by a mile [Body]

Output: Perhaps I'm just biased because I live in the belly of the beast, but ohio fans are just so insecure. They're the pretty girl that needs to tear everyone else down. And their obsession with Michigan (the state and school) borders on psychotic. MSU fans are just the desperate, drunk girl who'll do anything for attention.


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Title] The worst vice is advice [Body]

Output: This year's point guard class isn't particularly deep, and his size and raw talent make him very desirable. However, with the looming lockout, it doesn't seem that any team would throw first round money at what some would deem a project. The young man has a tough decision, and I hope he is getting solid advice. As far as the team goes, I live in Columbus and I saw Trey Burke play a couple of times. He's very fast and will be a great distributor, if not scorer. His Godfather (another M fan in Cbus) told me that he was ready to sign with Cincy. Ultimately, he decided a Michigan education was too good to pass up, even if it meant backing up Darius for a year or even two.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] At the very least... [Body]

Output: I hope Hoke will amend his schemes to fit his players, then recruit his "type" of player. I think that was what's his name's biggest mistake. If the players like him, that is good enough for me.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Title] friend designed it [Body]

Output: An old friend of mine designed the course. Pretty cool!


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 2 days ago [Title] My goal [Body]

Output: It is my goal to bike across the lower 48 within the next 10 years. I won't mind taking the time off to do it. Potential employers (and current for me) would see that as a positive that a very small proportion of society ever contemplates. It speaks to your character. I think it's common to take 1 month minimum which is still nearly 100 miles per day. Even more optimistic would be to race in the Race Across America - goes from San Diego to Atlantic City, NJ and you only get 12 days 2 hrs. Winners typically do it in 8 days. It's crazy.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] count me in [Body]

Output: I've wanted Miles here for a while. I'd love to see it.


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Title] Thanks [Body]

Output: I'm glad to get that right finally. It must have been a rumor back in the day that I still remember as being "correct."


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Title] #2 [Body]

Output: I'm pretty sure this was the 2nd Ultimate Warrior... the first one died shortly after taking over the spotlight way back when. True, yes? Weird!


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] Indeed [Body]

Output: Very well put! And let's not forget that an OC worth his salt can adapt his offense to the players he's got. Michigan has a terrific athlete in Devin Gardner. I hope Nuss can take advantage of Devin's talents.


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] I don't feel great about it [Body]

Output: I'd rather they play a better opponent becuase Michigan seems to play up or down to the competition. It'll be a close game. Michigan plays terribly out west. Michigan probably loses in annoying fashion. I wish I had reasons to make me feel otherwise. Still, you can bet your ass I'll be watching and cheering on my team and HOPING for something good.


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] Poop, I thought I had that [Body]

Output: Poop, I thought I had that right. Thanks for correcting. I'll have to check out that book as well... sounds great.


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] new times [Body]

Output: I work next door (museums annex... also to be torn down) and will also have to relocate. The reason both buildings are going is they are building another biology/science building. Ruthven will be renovated into new "pay to play" labs. This area will look quite different.


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Cadel seems to be riding very [Body]

Output: Cadel seems to be riding very well this year... I think he'll be in stronger contention than he was last year. Cadel is the team leader so they'll ride for him. It could get interesting later in the race though. I have a feeling that if last year were to repeat itself, Cadel would have his team support TVG and go for the podium.


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Definitely expecting an [Body]

Output: Definitely expecting an awesome Tour this year. Lots of big guns are back (though Wiggins is out again) and the course is fricking amazing. A mountain-top finish on the penultimate stage (versus the usual TT) will be very cool, especially if the GC is a close call. I'm very excited for le Tour to begin in case it wasn't apparent!


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Wow, that kid is fast. I [Body]

Output: Wow, that kid is fast. I would absolutely love it if the kid chose Michigan... but I'm with Ace and don't think we'll see him leave Louisiana for Ann Arbor. Let's hope I'm wrong!


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Awesome timing! [Body]

Output: I just watched "An Unexpected Journey" last night!


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] 12-0 [Body]

Output: I honestly can see them winning all of those games next year... as long as they play sound, disciplined football.


Input: [Date] 2 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Cap one perhaps [Body]

Output: But man it's going to be against one of Georgia, Florida, S. or LSU. Shit, I hope Michigan has ALL of their players back and fully healthy for that one!


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] It does seem odd [Body]

Output: Or amazing, however you want to look at it. I thought he was severly concussed after that hit. He couldn't even stand on his own. I really hope, for his sake, that there's no Tomfoolery going on with the coaching staff and doctors so they will clear him to play. In all honesty though, it's great he's been cleared as that would indicate that there's nothing wrong. I hate to see those players get hurt, no matter who they play for.


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] This one... [Body]

Output: is the biggest mystery to me. I thought for sure they'd get dropped out of the rankings this week. Both Texas and WVU got their asses handed to them in both losses. The Big Ten rep is the reason for Michigan being ranked where they are... but I do NOT think those two teams should be ranked ahead of UM. Just annoying.


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Yes, win indeed [Body]

Output: These players seem to have a great focus each week. No let down against Purdue or Illinois even after each game became a sure victory. I see this game playing out a lot like last year's game at Illinois. You never really felt like Illinois would win because the defense kept shutting them down. Eventually, Michigan's offense will put up a bunch of points and put the game out of reach. Lincoln at night... I don't see that as being enough for Nebraska to beat Michigan this year.


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Crap [Body]

Output: It's already been delayed one day... and now another. Well, you can sign up for alerts if you still want to watch it live. Hopefully it'll happen within the next couple of days.


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Michigan wins [Body]

Output: Michigan 28 Notre Dame 20


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] I agree [Body]

Output: Even before this game I thought 9-3 would be about right. They do have depth back there and I think they'll turn into a good unit once again. We just have to hope they don't lose any more starters. And I'm not convinced that ND or Neb are losses by any stretch.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] justin.tv [Body]

Output: I used this site to watch The Game last year and it worked out well. I recommend it... it's also free.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Actually, I agree with you [Body]

Output: I will get behind Hoke's decision either way on this one. But it bothers me how everyone is so quick to be judge, jury, and executioner. I really don't think it will be a huge difference if Fitz is not playing. I think Rawls will stand in quite well.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Someone else made a good point [Body]

Output: What if this had happened back in January? Would you still sit him or would he have served his penalty during those months? And how long does it take to work off that mistake? Will he be benched because this was a recent mistake? Sitting a game is not the only penalty, that's my point. Also, I appreciate the snark and sarcasm. For the record, I do have an advanced degree from U of M... I have a LOT of pride in that accomplishment and I do feel that we as UM students and grads have a higher standard to uphold. I just don't necessarily agree with you all about sitting Fitz. Whatever Coach Hoke decides is the right choice in my opinion. As for MilkSteak, a shower will make you clean again after the victory in Dallas. :0)


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Wow good point [Body]

Output: Someone that has thought this out a bit more than just saying, "We are Michigan and we are morally superior to everyone else." Thanks for that. I was beginning to think I was the only one.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] God forbid anyone on this board... [Body]

Output: ever gets a DUI! I'm sure it's happened many times. Glass houses my friends. If Fitz plays, who of you will be pissed off after Michigan wins?! No one. An above poster was correct, we are not the SEC. But we are playing the SEC. Something to keep in mind. I don't see a problem with Fitz playing. He's paid a price than none of us know anything about so all the judge Judy's out there should shut up. If he sits, he sits. If he plays you'll get over it.

Output: Then you can see boobs and football at the same time. Win!


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Boo to you sir [Body]

Output: Newcastle doesn't hold a candle to nearly every other brown ale I can think of. And it's British. Are you too good for Amurrican burr? p.s. High Life Lite is the answer if the question is, "What beer can I drink literally all day long and not get sloppy drunk?"


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] You shut your whore mouth [Body]

Output: :0) It's much better than Budweiser. No rice or fillers and it's made in Ann Arbor. And their drinking den is cool too.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] The more important point that you make... [Body]

Output: We are better fans. Better how? Just better. And after Michigan wins, Alabama fans will be happily invited to UM tailgates. Cheers, bitches.


Input: [Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Body] I believe it leaked earlier this year that the Lions were going to play the Bills which could be a CBS game. Guess we will just have to wait a couple hours to figure it out. [Title]

Output: I believe it leaked earlier

Input: [Date] 2 years 3 days ago [Body] Humphrey posted a picture on Twitter a few minutes ago from inside Eastern Michigan's stadium so I'd say its safe to say he is in the area for the AAU track meet. [Title]

Output: Humphrey posted a picture on


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Body] Couldn't students hypothetically just skip over the so called "5,000 person line" by going to another gate to enter 5 minutes before the gates open? In the past I have entered as a student through the SW gate near Pioneer. It will be interesting to see if the athletic department took this into consideration and will only allow students to enter at the NE gate to keep it fair. [Title]

Output: Couldn't students

Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] I thought the exact same thing as this was happening. I mean why don't you just have hagerup boot it really high to around the 5 and hope for the best? If the hangtime on the punt was 4.5 seconds, at least one of the players could dodge a block and at least make it 40 yards downfield to get near the returner by the time he catches it. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Body] There is an easy solution to this problem: General Admission Student Tickets And no this doesn't cut into pre-game drinking time, just moves it up. When I went to the Iowa vs Michigan game last year the student section, which is general admission, was packed way before the game started. Frat stars will just have to wake up at 7 instead of 8 if they want to drink heavily and still get a good seat. Also, the atmosphere in student sections that are first come first serve are way better. All of the early entrees will have fellow diehard fans to go nuts with and all of the drunk kids can be puking with their buddies in row 90. [Title]

Output: General Admission

Input: [Date] 41 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Commence Flame War [Body]

Output: But as a by-and-large traditionalist, I have to admit I really, really did like the solid blues against Penn State. I thought futzing with the helmet to any degree (matte finish, chrome finish (?), schizophrenic decisions on what color yellow we're using) and whatever we're barfing onto the white jerseys is shameless overkill, but I do think there's something to be said about going monochrome during a night game. Related: I'm also an Eagles fan who would love to see them bring back the kelly greens, and I thought the solid black look against the Giants this past Sunday night was terrific. I think there's something to be gained from the monochrome look if we do it once a year for UTL. The striped numbers were hideous, I'll just put that out there.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Occam's Razor [Body]

Output: Both Hoke and Mattison are at their core DL guys. They know the position inside and out. They don't have that level of nuance and insight for LB / DB position groups. I'm not going to pretend I know the intricacies of the 4-3 over or 4-3 under but on a generally-applicable high level, familiarity can only do so much for a player when and if there are fundamental flaws in what he's doing that aren't being corrected by the coaches. No, I don't have a particular player in mind, and no, I don't know if people are making the same mistake repeatedly on defense. This is just a commentary on Management 101. If Hoke and Mattison don't have the level of insight for the rest of the defense that they do for the D-line, then we're in some sense doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. That we shuffled all of the defensive position coaches in the offseason probably doesn't add much to continuity either.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 3 days ago [Title] solid fit for both [Body]

Output: Considering the Eagles' secondary woes, I think Kovacs could end up contributing somewhat. Anyone who can anchor the two best defenses that Michigan has had in recent memory, I'm certain brings something valuable to the table. Anyone would be better than Cary Williams at this point, good lord.


Input: [Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Title] subdued panic [Body]

Output: I can't be the only person sitting at my desk quietly FREAKING OUT about the fact that we keep missing on 2015 commits right? Considering how much turnover we're going to have after this year we need all the help we can get. If I'm completely off base, I would love for someone to slap me and tell me to get my sht together.


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] please [Body]

Output: He took an experienced group of players, implemented a fairly new/different scheme, and there wasn't a considerable drop-off in production from RR 2010. Coupled with Mattison's improvements to the D, we won a Sugar Bowl. We've been getting younger each and every year and maybe his stubbornness was his undoing but we actually won a BCS game thanks in no small part to Borges being able to adapt to Denard. We have exactly two BCS wins. Here's to hoping for the future.


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] minor details [Body]

Output: Just out of curiosity, no one sees the problem in hiring someone who has never been a coordinator or called plays (e.g., assistants from other "pro-style" schools), when our own head coach doesn't call plays or even wear a headset? No one sees this as problematic?

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

Output: if you pick ruining Ohio's season (maybe extrapolating it to their overall winning streak) over Michigan winning a national title of its own, it doesn't change the fact that you are picking spiting someone else over your own alma mater's triumph, a triumph we have accomplished exactly one time in history. So congratulations, if you'd rather #BEATOHIO than win a national title, you're a Spartan in Wolverine clothing. Go burn a couch.


Input: [Date] 1 year 37 weeks ago [Title] maybe [Body]

Output: maybe, just maybe, Hoke is actually not a "good" football coach, and maybe he knows nothing about offensive playcalling... so he washes his hands of it every week. he was a defensive lineman in college and that's been his calling ever since. motivation and keeping The Team The Team The Team together is one thing, but knowing how to win games by scoring points is quite another. i'm not saying, i'm just saying.

Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] obligatory [Body]

Output: I know he was just given #21, and rightfully so, but can we have a serious discussion as to whether he should or should not be in consideration for the #1 jersey? and why? i don't see what more a guy has to do to be considered for it, in two games, one of which against a very respectable defense, he has put up startling numbers and looks like something out of a video game. unless they're effectively retiring it until they trot it out for george campbell in two years, i think it's become a grail quest at this point.


Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Title] cautious optimism... [Body]

Output: I have to believe that we're still "one year away"; the football program is already rolling, and really it got off to an incredible start with the Sugar Bowl win, but with the cupboard mostly empty post-RR and the amount of incredibly talented (albeit young) depth, I think the real dividends will start to be paid next year. Of course, I've been wrong before. I'm predicting 9 or 10 wins, just because of the sheer amount of questions on defense. But here's to unmitigated hope and irrational confidence!!!! Hail


Input: [Date] 1 year 48 weeks ago [Title] preach [Body]

Output: i'd be willing to bet that half the people lamenting how these young'ns aren't going to games anymore would be guilty of much of the same were they on campus now. It's a different era (full disclosure, I graduated in 2011). We play the defending national champion in Dallas (read: NOWHERE NEAR CAMPUS), serve [poop] on a plate with games against middling MAC and/or FCS schools, and students are supposed to be happy with the fact that they get to pay $25 a pop for that (and that's before the $4 water bottles and other exorbitant concessions)? How many of you would shell out $200+ for season tickets when the home slate consists of App State, Miami (NTM), Utah, Minnesota, Penn State, Indiana and Maryland? How many of you paid $200 total for FOUR seasons of football?

Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Party last night [Body]

Output: So after the draft, Trey's marketing team and my friend's dad's company put on a private event in NYC for Trey's family and friends, and I and a bunch of friends got invites also. Bleacher Report showed up to make a video of Trey walking in and celebrating, the whole thing was really well put together, and it was an amazing time. He seemed pretty overwhelmed and exhausted by the time he showed up (about 1:30 am eastern time) but he was smiling and laughing the entire time. Can't say enough about him and what he's done for our program, and I can only wish him the best of luck going forward. Considering Utah was an above-.500 team last year and just missed the playoffs, mostly because they were lacking a solid option at PG, I think it's a great situation for him. And, naturally, being a Knicks fan, I was bouncing off the walls when we drafted THJ. Forever Go Blue!

Haven't heard that phrase since Rich Rodriguez was strolling the sidelines and weird stuffed animals were rubbing their junk on our linebackers! The best I get is a weekend here or there to leave NYC and get out to the Hamptons. That's about it.

Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] I dunno [Body]

Output: I don't see us landing an RB this class, and I think if we manage to pull Hand and McDowell (or God willing both) and Westphal that might round out the class. It's a relatively weak year for running backs and we have a ton of depth, even after Fitz graduates, and the 2015 RB class is looking much stronger. We might be able to land Winovich too, which would certainly be welcome, but considering the numbers crunch for this class I think once we get to 14 or 15 they might pump the brakes a bit.

Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] statistics, people [Body]

Output: You can't draw any conclusions about "bandwagoners" or how "many" fans each remaining school has... look at the metrics. It's merely how many Facebook Likes a given school has in a particular county. If one 10th grader in the middle of East Nowheresville, Montana, is the only person in a county of 2,000 people who happened to Like (capitalized) Michigan, and no one in that county Likes Syracuse, Wichita State, or Louvull, then by Facebook's metrics that county is rooting for Michigan . When you put it in context, it's not that surprising, considering that Michigan is easily the most famous school (on a national level) of the remaining four. You can extrapolate that idea across the rest of the nation, particularly in states where Michigan has sizable alumni communities (like California, NYC, and Philadelphia); also, considering the scope and breadth of the NCAA tournament, you have to figure that on a regional level, most of the counties that are technically "rooting" for Michigan were probably pulling for a more local team that has since been eliminated... which would explain California, since UCLA and Cal are both out; Florida, because of Miami and UF (the three people rooting for FGCU before they beat Georgetown are PROBABLY insignificant); Arizona; and so on. Still, it's comforting to know that people Like us?


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] also my first Final Four! [Body]

Output: FWIW, I wouldn't risk scalping in Atlanta/around the stadium. My current roommate and long-time friend is an Emory grad and said that throughout college, he and several of his friends would try to scalp tickets to any number of events (concerts, SEC Championships, Falcons games, Hawks games, etc.) and he ballparked it around 75% of the time the tickets were photocopied or just outright fake, and most people ended up getting swindled. That being said, the ball's been rolling for us, so maybe let it ride? I got my tickets on Razor Gator, pretty high up but about market price all things considered. And we're road tripping from NYC.


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Title] silver linings? [Body]

Output: all things considered, I think it says a lot that the rest of the team stepped up when Trey was shooting worse than awful from the floor. The entire first half, McGary looked like he was born to play in the tournament, and Tim shot the lights out


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] scotch [Body]

Output: Johnnie Walker with a single ice cube. It's not helping


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 1 day ago [Body] But as a by-and-large traditionalist, I have to admit I really, really did like the solid blues against Penn State. I thought futzing with the helmet to any degree (matte finish, chrome finish (?), schizophrenic decisions on what color yellow we're using) and whatever we're barfing onto the white jerseys is shameless overkill, but I do think there's something to be said about going monochrome during a night game. Related: I'm also an Eagles fan who would love to see them bring back the kelly greens, and I thought the solid black look against the Giants this past Sunday night was terrific. I think there's something to be gained from the monochrome look if we do it once a year for UTL. The striped numbers were hideous, I'll just put that out there. [Title]

Output: Commence Flame War


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Both Hoke and Mattison are at their core DL guys. They know the position inside and out. They don't have that level of nuance and insight for LB / DB position groups. I'm not going to pretend I know the intricacies of the 4-3 over or 4-3 under but on a generally-applicable high level, familiarity can only do so much for a player when and if there are fundamental flaws in what he's doing that aren't being corrected by the coaches. No, I don't have a particular player in mind, and no, I don't know if people are making the same mistake repeatedly on defense. This is just a commentary on Management 101. If Hoke and Mattison don't have the level of insight for the rest of the defense that they do for the D-line, then we're in some sense doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. That we shuffled all of the defensive position coaches in the offseason probably doesn't add much to continuity either. [Title]

Output: Occam's Razor


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Considering the Eagles' secondary woes, I think Kovacs could end up contributing somewhat. Anyone who can anchor the two best defenses that Michigan has had in recent memory, I'm certain brings something valuable to the table. Anyone would be better than Cary Williams at this point, good lord. [Title]

Output: solid fit for both


Input: [Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Body] I can't be the only person sitting at my desk quietly FREAKING OUT about the fact that we keep missing on 2015 commits right? Considering how much turnover we're going to have after this year we need all the help we can get. If I'm completely off base, I would love for someone to slap me and tell me to get my sht together. [Title]

Output: subdued panic


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] He took an experienced group of players, implemented a fairly new/different scheme, and there wasn't a considerable drop-off in production from RR 2010. Coupled with Mattison's improvements to the D, we won a Sugar Bowl. We've been getting younger each and every year and maybe his stubbornness was his undoing but we actually won a BCS game thanks in no small part to Borges being able to adapt to Denard. We have exactly two BCS wins. Here's to hoping for the future. [Title]

Output: please


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] Just out of curiosity, no one sees the problem in hiring someone who has never been a coordinator or called plays (e.g., assistants from other "pro-style" schools), when our own head coach doesn't call plays or even wear a headset? No one sees this as problematic? [Title]

Output: minor details

Output: oh my goodness


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] if you pick ruining Ohio's season (maybe extrapolating it to their overall winning streak) over Michigan winning a national title of its own, it doesn't change the fact that you are picking spiting someone else over your own alma mater's triumph, a triumph we have accomplished exactly one time in history. So congratulations, if you'd rather #BEATOHIO than win a national title, you're a Spartan in Wolverine clothing. Go burn a couch. [Title]

Output: bball


Input: [Date] 1 year 37 weeks ago [Body] maybe, just maybe, Hoke is actually not a "good" football coach, and maybe he knows nothing about offensive playcalling... so he washes his hands of it every week. he was a defensive lineman in college and that's been his calling ever since. motivation and keeping The Team The Team The Team together is one thing, but knowing how to win games by scoring points is quite another. i'm not saying, i'm just saying. [Title]

Output: maybe


Input: [Date] 1 year 40 weeks ago [Body] Does Ole MIss's "Best Practices" not address screaming obscenities during fellow classmates' performances? [Title]

Output: yeah but


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] I know he was just given #21, and rightfully so, but can we have a serious discussion as to whether he should or should not be in consideration for the #1 jersey? and why? i don't see what more a guy has to do to be considered for it, in two games, one of which against a very respectable defense, he has put up startling numbers and looks like something out of a video game. unless they're effectively retiring it until they trot it out for george campbell in two years, i think it's become a grail quest at this point. [Title]

Output: obligatory


Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Body] I have to believe that we're still "one year away"; the football program is already rolling, and really it got off to an incredible start with the Sugar Bowl win, but with the cupboard mostly empty post-RR and the amount of incredibly talented (albeit young) depth, I think the real dividends will start to be paid next year. Of course, I've been wrong before. I'm predicting 9 or 10 wins, just because of the sheer amount of questions on defense. But here's to unmitigated hope and irrational confidence!!!! Hail [Title]

Output: cautious optimism...


Input: [Date] 1 year 48 weeks ago [Body] i'd be willing to bet that half the people lamenting how these young'ns aren't going to games anymore would be guilty of much of the same were they on campus now. It's a different era (full disclosure, I graduated in 2011). We play the defending national champion in Dallas (read: NOWHERE NEAR CAMPUS), serve [poop] on a plate with games against middling MAC and/or FCS schools, and students are supposed to be happy with the fact that they get to pay $25 a pop for that (and that's before the $4 water bottles and other exorbitant concessions)? How many of you would shell out $200+ for season tickets when the home slate consists of App State, Miami (NTM), Utah, Minnesota, Penn State, Indiana and Maryland? How many of you paid $200 total for FOUR seasons of football? [Title]

Output: preach

Output: so...


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Body] So after the draft, Trey's marketing team and my friend's dad's company put on a private event in NYC for Trey's family and friends, and I and a bunch of friends got invites also. Bleacher Report showed up to make a video of Trey walking in and celebrating, the whole thing was really well put together, and it was an amazing time. He seemed pretty overwhelmed and exhausted by the time he showed up (about 1:30 am eastern time) but he was smiling and laughing the entire time. Can't say enough about him and what he's done for our program, and I can only wish him the best of luck going forward. Considering Utah was an above-.500 team last year and just missed the playoffs, mostly because they were lacking a solid option at PG, I think it's a great situation for him. And, naturally, being a Knicks fan, I was bouncing off the walls when we drafted THJ. Forever Go Blue! [Title]

Output: Party last night


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Body] can't think of a better description for him... and i'm probably gonna have to buy his jersey now. [Title]

Output: solid


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Body] as an Eagles fan this is amazing. Somewhat surprising he's never been to a Michigan game before, but I'm betting his dad was feeding him the Kool-Aid from birth [Title]

Output: terrific!


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Body] Summer vacation? You youngsters and your colloquialisms. Haven't heard that phrase since Rich Rodriguez was strolling the sidelines and weird stuffed animals were rubbing their junk on our linebackers! The best I get is a weekend here or there to leave NYC and get out to the Hamptons. That's about it. [Title]

Output: Summer vacation? You


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Body] he played the hell out of Tony Soprano... arguably the best, and certainly most recognizable, tv character of his generation. i don't know too many people who didn't watch the show. he was great in just about everything he took on. taken way, way too young. [Title]

Output: such a shame


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] I don't see us landing an RB this class, and I think if we manage to pull Hand and McDowell (or God willing both) and Westphal that might round out the class. It's a relatively weak year for running backs and we have a ton of depth, even after Fitz graduates, and the 2015 RB class is looking much stronger. We might be able to land Winovich too, which would certainly be welcome, but considering the numbers crunch for this class I think once we get to 14 or 15 they might pump the brakes a bit. [Title]

Output: I dunno


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] Apparently his daughter was in the car with him, so he drove her home and then went Casa Bieber to chew him out.

Output: I believe it leaked earlier this year that the Lions were going to play the Bills which could be a CBS game. Guess we will just have to wait a couple hours to figure it out.


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Title] Our helmets say Michigan on [Body]

Output: Our helmets say Michigan on the white clamp on the front, not Schutt like in the picture. Definitely an old pic


Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Title] To have the top shooter in [Body]

Output: To have the top shooter in America in Beilein's style of offense would be crazy.

Output: Picked up my Maize Rage shirt the other day and there is nothing on the back of it.


Input: [Date] 2 years 3 days ago [Title] Humphrey posted a picture on [Body]

Output: Humphrey posted a picture on Twitter a few minutes ago from inside Eastern Michigan's stadium so I'd say its safe to say he is in the area for the AAU track meet.


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Title] Couldn't students [Body]

Output: Couldn't students hypothetically just skip over the so called "5,000 person line" by going to another gate to enter 5 minutes before the gates open? In the past I have entered as a student through the SW gate near Pioneer. It will be interesting to see if the athletic department took this into consideration and will only allow students to enter at the NE gate to keep it fair.


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Title] I feel sorry for the poor [Body]

Output: I feel sorry for the poor bastards who had to stand behind that monster panda head

Output: I think the rain hitting the empty bleachers during the Illinois game was still louder than the alumni.


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Donnal & Irvin signed today. [Body]

Output: Donnal & Irvin signed today. I believe Derrick Walton is waiting to sign at an assembly at his school on Friday.


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Michigan is a swing state, [Body]

Output: Michigan is a swing state, Romney wants to cut PBS, and then they put on a documentary on wolverines. Coincidence? I don't think so Obama. /s

Output: Wow even Moises Alou would think that guy has a strange fetish with piss.


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Title] I thought the exact same [Body]

Output: I thought the exact same thing as this was happening. I mean why don't you just have hagerup boot it really high to around the 5 and hope for the best? If the hangtime on the punt was 4.5 seconds, at least one of the players could dodge a block and at least make it 40 yards downfield to get near the returner by the time he catches it.


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Title] If Shane Morris is a Glee [Body]

Output: If Shane Morris is a Glee fan, then it is fine for men to be Glee fans


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Title] I was too busy being happy [Body]

Output: I was too busy being happy that I wasn't hearing In the Big House to be concerned with the scoreboard


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Title] When I was at Kinnick last [Body]

Output: When I was at Kinnick last year they showed Hemingway's reviewed "catch" in the endzone about 10 times on the scoreboards so I don't think your first point is completely right.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Wow. I was expecting a hype [Body]

Output: Wow. I was expecting a hype video made up of the typical mashup of clips from espn3.com, but boy was I wrong! That looked like some professional level stuff man. Great job!


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

Output: There is an easy solution to this problem: General Admission Student Tickets And no this doesn't cut into pre-game drinking time, just moves it up. When I went to the Iowa vs Michigan game last year the student section, which is general admission, was packed way before the game started. Frat stars will just have to wake up at 7 instead of 8 if they want to drink heavily and still get a good seat. Also, the atmosphere in student sections that are first come first serve are way better. All of the early entrees will have fellow diehard fans to go nuts with and all of the drunk kids can be puking with their buddies in row 90.


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Title] I recall hearing a Michigan [Body]

Output: I recall hearing a Michigan student in front of one of the houses on the corner of State & Hoover yell "Wow! You're a ginger and an ohio state fan?! God must hate you!" to some poor redheaded 15 year old with his dad. I thought it was kind of funny actually. At least there wasn't any physical hazing involved

Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Title] In the article it talks about [Body]

Output: In the article it talks about how players don't want to use anything like vaporizers or bongs because it leaves evidence. So instead most players smoke the pot out of joints, which I'm pretty sure have some detrimental effects on the lungs.


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Too bad all four of those USC [Body]

Output: Too bad all four of those USC quarterbacks combined are still 3 rings behind Tom Brady

Output: He probably just came down with a case of senioritis


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Isn't it possible that he is [Body]

Output: Isn't it possible that he is just going home for easter and is taking some of his clothes with him so he doesn't have to make an extra trip at the end of the year? There are only 2 weeks left of school, its not like he needs a lot of stuff.


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Title] Alumni game [Body]

Output: Anybody have any insight on the alumni flag football game? Is it fun to watch? I saw that Desmond Howard and Lamarr Woodley coached a couple years ago so it seems kind of interesting to me.


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Title] Dang [Body]

Output: I guess this means we can't sing Deep in the Heart of Texas anymore.


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Maize Rage seating [Body]

Output: If the maize rage had more lower level seating I think they would be way better. Schools with good student sections like MSU, Gonzaga, and Duke have the majority of lower seats. The maize rage only has like 5 rows on one side and the rest are stuck behind the basket or in the upper bowl.


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Iowa has good parties [Body]

Output: I road tripped to the game in Iowa City this year. Those kids party kinda hard friday night and then wake up before the sun is up and go crazy before the game. I was pretty impressed.

Output: big wangs on cahuenga in hollywood is an MSU bar, but it will be packed with people watching the game


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Title] doesn't make any sense, but [Body]

Output: doesn't make any sense, but this isn't going to change anything. boren is either the first or second interior lineman off the board, either low 1st round or high 2nd


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] fred jackson is the team [Body]

Output: fred jackson is the team expert on runningback techniques, which denard has to employ constantly. there's no question he works with denard to some extent. rod smith doesn't coach denard on punting, either.


Input: [Date] 5 years 13 weeks ago [Title] tweet [Body]

Output: 'from the bottom to the top on my mama ima eat' he's just saying he's going to go from the bottom (being undrafted) to the top of the NFL, and that he swears on his mother that he'll prosper


Input: [Date] 5 years 32 weeks ago [Title] why is everyone selling out denard? [Body]

Output: he never even got to touch the regular playbook last year. why is everyone so certain that once he has a year in the system he won't be able to pull off at least the basic variations on the zone read?


Input: [Date] 6 years 5 weeks ago [Title] fitz runs like mike hart with [Body]

Output: fitz runs like mike hart with a second gear... very, very excited.


Input: [Date] 6 years 15 weeks ago [Title] i don't like RR's [Body]

Output: i don't like RR's indecisiveness with decisions as major as who our starting qb is going to be. last year was a disaster in part because we were splitting snaps far, far, far, far, far too long between our two prospects, one with the qualities of an average college pocket passer and the other with the qualities of an average high school mobile quarterback. competition is great, but the eventual starter needs as much attention as we can possibly give them.


Input: [Date] 6 years 29 weeks ago [Title] nader [Body]

Output: my sister went to pioneer and i've met nader. i'm about 5'11.5", 175lb., he is noticeably smaller than i am.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] A week after throwing for a career high in yardage [Body]

Output: A week after throwing for a career high in yardage, some people want to jump all over the kid.... after a win no less. Remember, Roundtree got caught from behind last week on what was TD pass #4 for Denard. Add in the drops by receivers and the fact that he did not play the whole game, and Denard could easily have passed for 340 plus yards against 4 TDs and 2 INTS last week. Sure the weather effected his throwing yesterday. Not saying it was all weather related but anyone who has played quarterback at a fairly high level would know that weather does play a significant factor in your success. Moreover, it has been a long season. First all the Heisman talk then all the talk of how this team can't win in Big 10 play. All those things take a toll on player.... especially a first year starter. Denard was bound to reach whats commonly referred to in other circles as a "rookie wall". And if this is his wall, over the last few weeks he has still been playing pretty well as he battles through it. Rich Rod cautioned people after Denard's early success. He warned us that as a first year starter, he would have periods where he would struggle. In our Heisman giddiness we hardly paid attention to those words from RR. Well, he was right. But this has been hardly unexpected. I expected it, many you probably expected it and I know the coaches expected it, so why panic now that we see what was expected? Patience people.... patience. Denard is just a Sophomore, and considering the tremendous leap that he has made from year 1 to year 2, his best days are likely ahead of him. Last sobering thought: Is there a better Sophomore quarterback in the country? Maybe... maybe not. But Denard is certainly in that discussion. ...


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Yes, he had incredible measurables. But more than that [Body]

Output: Yes, he had incredible measurables. Like you correctly pointed out, "once in a century". But more than that, his feel for the game, vision and instincts were off the charts. There were times it seemed like he had eyes in the back of his head. Just an incredible talent. A born running back. Without a doubt, he had the potential to be the best ever.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Agreed. The 2 long passes to Roundtree [Body]

Output: Agreed. The 2 deep passes to Roundtree were right on target and beautifully laid out there for him. Showing marked improvement in touch. The second long one to Roundtree easily could have been his 4th TD pass if Roy didn't get tracked down from behind. Still, great play by both guys.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] The coaches often have Denard [Body]

Output: Great point about more CEO's being introverts. That said, the coaches often have Denard entertain recruits. Probably more than any other player. So whether he is an "I" or an "E" there can be little doubt that he is a charismatic guy with great leadership skills.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Hardly an introvert [Body]

Output: Hardly an introvert. Just not a media hound


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] I have always been impressed with Avery [Body]

Output: I have always been impressed with Avery this year. The kid competes, is always around the ball, is rarely out of position and has great hips to stay with receivers. And that tackle against Sheelhaase was one of those things that you can drill on all day everyday but it really can't be taught. If you could teach it, all of our players would be capable of making that play. And as we know from this year, they really haven't been able to do it. That was pure football instinct. And Avery has it. Even on the one play where he got beat, he was right there. Unlike some of our other corners who get turned around and badly beaten, I haven't seen that out of Avery at all this year. This young man is a keeper who will only get better with experience.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Just noticed [Body]

Output: Just noticed my double "pass" gaffe in my post above. Multi-tasking while at work can do that. Anyhow, that pass play was awesome. Go Blue!


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] That was my favorite too [Body]

Output: That was my favorite too. I kept yelling for Denard to run the ball because it was wide open for him. Then at the last minute he threw a frozen rope to Junior and for Junior to, first of all, catch that lazer was amazing. Then for him to use some nifty sideline footwork to turn that play into a touchdown was simply awesome. The Tate pass to Junior pass which bounced around at the goal line would have to rank next - one of the few times all year that fortune has favored this team. Followed by the Vinopal stuff.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Denard and Tate both played a whale of a game yesterday [Body]

Output: Denard and Tate both played a whale of a game yesterday. I was particularly pleased with Denard and his growth and maturity as a passer. Some of his throws were simply outstanding. If you add in the easy dropped passes..... he was really 14 for 20 with somelike like 325 yards (conservatively, adding in the dropped passes). And if Roundtree had a little more speed, he would have had 4 touchdown passes. All of that said, I agree.... sometimes these guys just need to take the easy yardage. I think that will come in time.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Speaking of mentors, I bet Denard [Body]

Output: Speaking of mentors, I bet Denard has been a huge mentor to Tate. If for no other reason than Tate watching Denard and how he always give deference to his teammates and makes everything more about team instead of himself. Just being around a person like that can be huge for a young man's (Tate) maturity and development. Gotta love this young team and how they work together. And you have to feel good for Tate. He waited patiently, played team ball and was justly rewarded for it yesterday.


Input: [Date] 4 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Sort of along these same lines [Body]

Output: Sort of along these same lines, here is a blurb from Ivan Maisel of ESPN: http://espn.go.com/blog/ncfnation/tag/_/name/3-point-stance In short, he is in favor of retaining Rich Rod and giving him a chance to revamp his coaching staff.... that we are too far in to make a change now. ...


Input: [Date] 4 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Vinopal is a fan favorite [Body]

Output: Vinopal is a fan favorite and should be. The kid is blue collar and is fighting against the odds. America always loves an underdog. That said, he looked in above his head last night. Missed tackles and blown off the ball by blockers. He can potentially be a good one but right now he should probably be taking a red-shirt. It is a shame that we have to rush him into action because we have virtually zero options at that position. Carvin did not show much as well last night. Probably another guy who should be taking a red-shirt. Why MRob not seeing the field remains a mystery which points more and more to the fact that he must be viewed as a liability in pass coverage. LB here he comes. On a positive note, I have been quite impressed with Courtney Avery. In limited action, he has been able to stay with his man and use his hips very well. Terry Talbot made a bad play last night but has shown some ability to cover as well. Those 2 corners may end up being pretty good for us.


Input: [Date] 4 years 39 weeks ago [Title] We need to stick with RR and fire [Body]

Output: We need to stick with RR and fire Gerg. Much like Illinois did with Zcrook. That is a completely different team with new coordinators.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Iowa game planned against Denard for 2 weeks [Body]

Output: Iowa game planned against Denard for 2 weeks. And he is still among the leaders in the nation in pass %. Moreover, one of the throws by Tate to Junior was underthrown and into double coverage, requiring the defender to fall down and for Junior to make a play on the ball or else that would have been interception # 3 for Tate. Possibly even more troubling, Tate continues to carry the ball like a loaf of bread and is a turnover waiting to happen unless he cures that very bad habit. I think things stay the way they are. Rich Rod is a pretty solid guy who is not given to whimsy or flights of fancy. No knock on Tate but RR knows what he has in Denard and will continue to cultivate his monster talent. Things will not change UNLESS Denard physically can't go. ...


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Denard [Body]

Output: If you look solely at the way Denard threw the ball BEFORE the last 2 weeks, would you still feel that way? Maybe, maybe not. But whether you feel either way about this question, the gap in your decision would not been as large as it may be today.... today after 2 sub par games. So really, the question is, why are such rash judgments being made after 2 sub par games? Why are blanket statements and blanket conclusions being drawn after just 2 sub par games? Before the last 2 games, Denard was making every throw.... long, short, slants, you name it. He was actually throwing the deep ball better than I have ever seen Tate throw the deep ball. As Coach Rod said after the Indiana game regarding Denard's deep ball, "his completion % on those deep throws is actually very good". And Denard is still among the leaders in the nation in overall completion %. Denard is merely going through a slump right now. Something that tends to happen with all young quarterbacks. You have to stick with them and let them play their way out of it. ...


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Title] I don't know about that [Body]

Output: I don't know about that. I understand being excited about Tate but a little perspective is in order. Tate's decision making yesterday was not all that great. Not saying that Denard's was either but I don't see how any reasonable person can say one has better decision making than the other. Case in point: Tate really should have had 3 picks yesterday. That ball that he threw into double (possibly triple) coverage (the first pick), the ball that he threw into double coverage (the second pick), and the ball thrown to Junior in double coverage which was clearly underthrown and right to the Iowa defender. How that Iowa defender does not come up with the ball is beyond me and was completed due to what seemed to be a combination of poor footwork by the Iowa defender and the tenacious ability of Junior to fight for the ball. But if that Iowa defender gets his footwork together, plants himself and comes forward he catches that ball because he was much closer to it.... but instead he fell backward. In short, from a coaching stand point, all 3 decisions were poor. And for the life of me, I still can't understand why Tate carries the ball like a loaf of bread. Jeez.... you would think that in all this time he would finally have gotten that corrected. The way he runs around back there carrying the ball like a loaf of bread is a fumble waiting to happen. That said, overall, I think Tate did a good job. Certainly better than Denard yesterday who seems to being going through something of a slump. But to say one makes better decisions than the other is merely opinion devoid of the facts imo. Both of these guys have made poor decisions.


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Denard was not at his best [Body]

Output: Denard was not at his best but I don't think Denard's play was necessarily the problem. He rushed for over 100 yards and threw the ball fairly well (decent not great) but the bigger problem seemed to be the playcalling and penalties that keep killing drives. Some of the playcalling has been highly suspect of late and a number of times we marched the ball down the field (getting 7 yard runs on 1st down, moving the ball) only to have penalties back us up and kill drives. I wouldn't be so quick to change quarterbacks after a couple of sub par games. Every quarterback has ups and downs.... particularly young ones. You have to let them play through it.


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Title] I think Tate had an advantage [Body]

Output: I think Tate had an advantage in that he had not been game planned for. Iowa had been game planning for Denard for 2 weeks. Moreover, Denard has not been anywhere near 100% lately. The bye week could not have come at a better time for Denard.


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Denard is in the best position [Body]

Output: Denard is in the best position. I don't care if he is ranked 1st or ranked 5th.... if he puts together a couple of big games against some of the better Big 10 defenses, and plays solid in the other games, based upon his numbers, the fact that he has broken records this year and the publicity that he has gotten, he would likely win it. Although cases can be made for other players, for most non-homers, Denard is the first person that comes to mind when thinking about the Heisman.


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Without knowing more facts [Body]

Output: Without knowing more facts, it is hard to tell whether he is a criminal or just a very bad business man - guy who let his ego get out of control but maybe a guy who actually had good intentions when he started out but got in over his head. Again, I say that based upon the ESPN segment - meaning, without more facts. The fact that he actually flew down to Jamaica a number of times shows that he had some type of "intent" to create the vacation resort. And then his business partner ran out of money. And his partner was supposed to be the guy with the "deep pockets" on the deal. Thus, that left Rumeal holding the bag sort of speak. There can be little excuse for the strip club charges and a few of the other exhorbitant purchases however. And one thing is clear, the guy is a selfish jerk. There is no excuse for him to treat his mother the way he did.


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Coach Rod can't catch a break from the media [Body]

Output: Coach Rod can't catch a break from the media. All the guy has ever done is care about young men, be a stickler about going to class, run a tight ship regarding keeping kids on the straight and narrow (very few discipline problems), and make a mistake that most teams have made regarding practice time.... and for his reward all he gets is demonized at every opportunity. The guy has to live up to an impossible standard - perfection. When I look at what he looked like when he took this job (youthful and vibrant) vs. what he looks like today (vibrant but hardly youthful anymore), sadly, in 3 short years Coach Rod's face has become a roadmap which shows the enormous pressure this guy has been under. He is a good human being. He deserves better


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] I never said [Body]

Output: I never said he would be stuck on the bench. I said that he may be a #2 or change of pace. And as we all know, once you are a #2 and prove yourself, you can always end up as the starter. It happens all the time in the NFL.


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Ummm..... not to split dreadlocked [Body]

Output: Ummm.... not to split dreadlocked hairs or anything. But students have had stood eyeball to eyeball with Denard put him at a solid 5'11". And Mel Kiper, Jr. said that he is 5'11 1/2". But of course you could be referring to Tay Odoms. Well, if that is the case..... my bad.
