Output: No change on offense. Just more experience (a 2nd year QB for once) and running back as good as Brandon Minor and hope he stays healthy. These 2 things were the only things that were missing.

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Neg away [Body]

Output: what he did as a player is among the all-time greats. If you want to hold him accountable for his actions as a manager and say he can never be associated with baseball again that's fine and I agree with it, but what he did as a player? There is no question.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Pete Rose [Body]

Output: Every baseball commissioner who has kept the all-time hit king out of the hall of fame for something he did as a manager. Players who have cheated while playing the game are in and he is not, that is a travesty.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Title] lived on the west coast [Body]

Output: having lived on the west coast for a total of four football seasons, I can say definitively that I would not make sure I was awake and in front of my television for a noon eastern kickoff unless Michigan was playing. if they were I was pregaming by seven and if not I might catch the second half of a game that looked interesting.

Output: I still remember his long touchdown run in the Rose Bowl like it was yesterday


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 11 hours ago [Title] how % chance of rain works [Body]

Output: the way the weather forecast works as far as % chance of rain works is as follows: if there is any chance (in this case 80%) the percentage reflects the amount of the forecast area will receive rain therefore if it's 80% chance it means that there is a 100% chance of rain occurring but only 80% chance it will happen where you are...much like it's a 100% chance that Jim harbaugh will coach next year but currently will only coach 80% of Michigan's games


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I am not trying to defend Frank Clark but... [Body]

Output: everything that was said in the article was referenced either from witness statements from people that were of relation to the alleged victim or from a view of he is guilty. I am with the majority as it relates to his standing if he is guilty but before we go any further can we wait for some kind of evidence beyond a local newspaper report before we convict this young man.

Input: [Date] 47 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] The rivalry from SW Michigan [Body]

Output: I really like the idea of this thread and was considering starting one myself but had the same worries as the OP. I grew up in Southwest Michigan on the Indiana border closer to South Bend than any school in Michigan. We had a lot of fans of ND which made the rivalry significant growing up along with the fact that Michigan was at its peak of success in my lifetime and ND wasn't that far removed from their own recent success in 1988. I grew up watching the great battles with Desmond and the Rocket providing great early season fireworks and the ND hype of will Ron Paulus (spelling) and will he be the first three time Hiesman winner. Now having been away from Michigan for what is essentially my entire adult life galvanizing my Michigan loyalty and fandom I think it really sucks that we are going to not have this game anymore. I am about to make the four hour drive from my house in Georgia to my childhood best friends house in South Carolina and we will see the last chapter in this rivalry and have these moments solidifying the fact that ND is the worst neighbor in the history of neighbors and know that our win will be a nice final twist of the knife in their jealousy of why we are better.


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 4 days ago [Title] maturity sometimes comes with maturity [Body]

Output: I was 24 years old and had already spent multiple years of my life overseas in defense of our country and still managed to make mistakes that I would probably be burned at the stake for on this board if I played football for Michigan. If it weren't for people that saw potential in me I know I wouldn't be where I am today in life. While his next chance is not going to be at Michigan, I hope this young man the best and hope he learns from his mistakes and can use it for good, much like Billy Taylor was able to rebound.

Output: I have used with success Honey and worcestshire as stated above. To go along with brown sugar I have started adding a little saigon cinnamon. I also have incorporated seasoned salt balance some of the sweet from the honey and a friend of mine incorporates apple juice into his sauce (primarily for chicken).

Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] Who cares? [Body]

Output: If rankings mattered we wouldn't give scholorships to long snappers. Thinking that every highly ranked recruit will pan out is crazy and with what we have left on the board at OL it might end up at three star level.


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] O-line recruiting [Body]

Output: With how long it takes to develop offensive linemen I think it is imperative to pick up one more even if he is the three star type deapth player. You can more regularly find immediate impact players at skill positions but in the trenches development is almost always necessary.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Get off my lawn agrees [Body]

Input: [Date] 2 years 29 weeks ago [Title] North-South [Body]

Output: How about a North-South alignment with either Nebraska, Ohio, or Penn State going to the North for competitive balance. My choice would be Ohio but you could work with any of them and have decent geographic alignment while also keeping many traditional rivalries, The biggest down side I can see is both Michigan and Ohio not having regular games in the added markets. Also, for competitive balance you could move Northwestern or Iowa for one weaker schools in the south. North South Michigan Penn State Michigan State Nebraska Northwestern Illinois Wisconsin Indiana Minnesota Purdue Iowa Rutgers Ohio Maryland

For the sake of people like me who primarily read and don't post thanks and keep up the good work.

Output: Someone should remind all


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] Brian Cook is acting a lot like Drew Sharp... I wonder if Brian realizes that recruits are all over the web looking at the biggest and best UM blog in the country stating that Brady Hoke hire is doom. Brian is allowed to have his opinion as are the Freep writers but calling a hire doom just because he wasnt a brand name does not make any sense. Also UM needs a schematic advantage over everyone because they are playing second fiddle in recruiting? Come on its Michigan! Also lets make it known that recruiting rankings are flawed and even if you consistently have the number one recruiting class in the country, it is up to the coach to make them better. If there is no player development then the program will not reap the rewards of the so called high recruiting rankings. [Title]

Output: Brian Cook is acting a lot


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] So what is Brian's solution, keep Rich Rod who was 15-22 in three years and 0-6 against MSU and OSU. Rich Rod obviously did not understand what Michigan was and made the program more about himself than about MIchigan. He needs to come out of his mom's basement and see the light more often [Title]

Output: So what is Brian's solution,


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] If he leaves then it really hurts his teammates and him leaving is all about valuing himself as more important than his teammates that he has deflected all of his personal accolades to. I am just saying that the way Denard acts and has represented himself, this decision to transfer and remain mum while leaving his teammates guessing and having to answer for him is not what UM needs with this coaching change. Denard has every right to transfer but my personal opinion on him will change if he does. Just as I felt that Ryan Mallett/Justin Boren had every right to transfer, but in my opinion their decisions exemplified what type of teammates they really were. Obviously the offense would miss Denards athletic ability but lets remember that any coach other than RR wouldnt run him 25 times a game to get his rushing yards up there. The offense was too dependent on Denard and others need to step up. Just like Tate did against Illinois and Iowa when Denard got hurt. Denard's leadership is his best quality and if he leaves someone else will step up. Just like when other leaders have left UM, theres always someone else to step up. [Title]

Output: If he leaves then it really


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] Are you seriously saying that RR was an offensive genius? Maybe he was against BGSU, Delaware, Indiana, and Illinois but what happened against MSU, OSU, Wisconsin, Iowa, OSU and Miss. St? Not much. Against Iowa & Wisconsin his offense only put up points when the game was over. You are right about Hoke he's not labelled as an offensive genius, he's the head coach and is accountable for the offense, defense, and special teams. The defense and special teams were awful under RR and he attempted to pass the blame. The team might actually display a tough attitude and may actually be feared again. UM returns almost all the starters this year and will get Woolfolk back plus others from injuries on the defense. UM will be much more improved this upcoming year [Title]

Output: Are you seriously saying that


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] The only problem with Denard leaving is the fact that we lose a QB and Tate is not eligible and the fact that others may see it as a way out and start transferring as well. [Title]

Output: The only problem with Denard


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] It would definitely hurt to see Denard go as he seems like a great person and a special athlete. However, lets not overvalue one player. As we have seen this year, it takes 22 players to compete on the big level. If Denard wants to go somewhere else then his heart is not here at UM and he was not the team player/competitor we all thought. he was. Michigan is built off of years of tradition and hard work by several thousands of people not one person. Tom Brady was once considering transferring but he stayed because he had something to prove. Let's hope Denard makes the same decision. [Title]

Output: It would definitely hurt to


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Body] Hoke was the associate head coach under Carr, so he must have had Carr's trust in help to run the program. Also, Hoke knows the midwest recruiting landscape and may be able to utilize the talent-rich midwest instead of competing with the SEC in Florida. The other positivie surrounding Hoke would be his ability to bring in top assistant coaches that also have Michigan ties. This would help to unite the UM fanbase/alumni since RR's hire. [Title]

Output: Hoke was the associate head


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] I don't think it matters where OSU will get the ball at, our defense is incapable of stopping anyone. [Title]

Output: Might as well put Tate back


Input: [Date] 4 years 39 weeks ago [Body] I think that a lot of this may depend on whether or not we can get to a bowl game this year. The bowl game will offer us an extra 15 practices which is another spring. Look at the strides Denard made in the spring with the practices. If the young defensive kids had the extra practices a bowl game would allow, then they could gain a lot more experience heading into the spring. [Title]

Output: Bowl Practices


Input: [Date] 4 years 39 weeks ago [Body] At minimum, Dantonio has given me a great halloween costume. I plan to get a State jersey and wear it under a bright orange jumpsuit. Maybe for extra effect I will wear a ski mask, carry a bat, beer, and steerting wheel. [Title]

Output: I agree and not executing is


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Like most Michigan fans I find myself being impatient. The reason RR was hired was to bring Michigan forward in the 21st century football. Let's look at RR's head coaching history before we pull the plug too early. At Glenville State RR went 1-7-1 in year 1; 4-5-1 in year 2; 6-4 in year 3; and 10-3 in year four. At WV RR went 3-8 in year 1; 9-4 in year 2; 8-5 in year 3; 8-4 in year 4; 11-1 in year 5; 11-2 in year 6; and 10-2 in year 7. The anomoly that stands out when comparing his 3 head coaching jobs is the 9-4 in year 2 at WV other than that, the records look pretty similary. Michigan can get up to 8 wins this year although I think 7-5 is more realistic. Then with more experience on the defense next year we are looking at 8-4 then in 2012 I think will be a year where RR really turns the program from middle of the pack Big Ten back to a BCS player. [Title]

Output: Patience


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Body] They should never punt, always onside kick to maximize offensive opportunities. [Title]

Output: They should never punt,


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Body] It is easy to state that this is unacceptable because this is these stats not a desirable result. However, instead of spouting off these conclusory statements, what are your solutions? You cannot just fire RR and go through another coaching hire debacle. Who is going to guarantee that Harbaugh will be coming to UM and if he does who is to say that he would not field a professional offer after 3 to 5 years. [Title]

Output: It is easy to state that this


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Body] This would be a huge hire for the Gophers. Mike Leach has been a winner everywhere he has been. The year before he arrived at Kentucky, their quarterback passed for 967 yards. In Leach's first year, his quarterback, Tim Couch, threw for 3,884 yards; the year after that, Couch, who lasted for only a few disappointing years in the N.F.L., threw for 4,275 yards. After Kentucky, Leach moved to Oklahoma for a single season, 1999. That year Oklahoma went from 101st to 8th in the country in offensive scoring. Its quarterback, Josh Heupel, passed for 3,850 yards that season, which was 1,700 more than any quarterback in Oklahoma football history had thrown for in a season Also, Leach learned to recruit in Texas with the high profiled recruits going to OU, UT, and A&M. With the exception of Crabtree not many of Leach's TTU players were NFL talents and he was still competing with the best in the Big 12. [Title]

Output: Huge Hire


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Body] MSU did play Wisconsin at home and OSU travelled to Madison (one of the toughest places to play) at night. I do think that MSU's rushing attack is better than Wisconsin and they could beat OSU depending on where it is. Sparty will be Sparty though and lose a few games that they shouldnt [Title]

Output: MSU did play Wisconsin at


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Body] I think we can all agree that it is going to take some time. Now I am still on the RR bandwagon and unlike some fans, I want to see him successful and strive here because I think he can (look at the progression of the offense). However, it is extremely frusterating to see him stand there and make comments like that saying Vince Lombardi couldnt fix our defense. He may not be able to but RR needs to stop complaining and start doing. [Title]

Output: I think we can all agree that


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Body] I agree with the depth and inexperience of the defense, but whose fault is that? Can we really blame Lloyd for the talent deficiency on defense. Granted Woolfolk's injury was not anyone's fault and Carr did recruit Cissoko. But this is seriously becoming an issue, the defense is not just bad; its one of the worst in the country. This is not EMU this is Michigan and the kids on defense lack the basic fundamentals, i.e. tackling and staying in their gaps/lanes, [Title]

Output: I agree with the depth and


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Blame no one, expect nothing, do something Lloyd Carr once said this and got the quote from the Jets locker room, someone should relate this to RR and explain what it means. He needs to start being accountable for his failures and successes. [Title]

Output: Blame no one, expect nothing,


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 4 days ago [Title] So you just admitted to tax [Body]

Output: So you just admitted to tax fraud in an online public forum?! (Only kidding of course) I'm an Illinois resident, and prior to this past year, Amazon didn't collect state tax on my purchases. But when filling out my taxes via turbo tax, the program specifically asks me if I've made any online purchases in the past year. I feel too guilty saying no, so I say yes. Anyway, I had several hundred dollars in Amazon purchases and I tested out the impact on my return by putting in $0 first before the real value, so I could see exactly how much my return would go down; it only went down about $30, so while it may seem like a big deal, it's impact is relatively small.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Sorry to disturb you, Andre. [Body]

Output: Sorry to disturb you, Andre. Thank you for your hot take - let's disagree with a stranger on the Internet and make over-arching conclusions about them! In Season 1, Dany marries Khal Drogo at the behest of her brother, who essentially was holding her captive. As far as I remember, she never once consented to marry Khal, she was a prisoner, and she was given no other choice. That wedding night sex was definitely rape, in my view. You bring up some interesting points about Littlefinger. I think Littlefinger is creepily in love with Sansa and sees himself marrying her down the road, and I believe he truly has her best interests at heart (I don't think he was aware of how evil Ramsay was when he came up with this plan). I think she trusts him and did not view herself as his prisoner - he did rescue her from Cersei after all. Maybe its Stockholme Syndrom, but I think she has positive feelings about him and did not feel trapped. Maybe I'm wrong about the LF-Sansa dynamic and you have the right of it, and if so, it would be equivalent to the S1 Dany-Khal marriage, and I would change my opinion that it would be rape. Ultimately, we are arguing semantics (which I realize is my fault, since I brought it up!) - we all have the same emotional response; we feel bad for Sansa that she had to endure that terrible wedding night, and we want bad things to happen to Ramsay. The difference is, I think Sansa willingly made a stunningly brave sacrifice to subject herself to some truly awful things, in order to kill the Boltons down the road and regain the north. Is this the part where I over-simplify a nuanced conversation and say my take is 100% right and if you can't see that then you must be dumb? ;) Have a nice day, I hope I don't disturb you any further.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Fair points - maybe I am [Body]

Output: Fair points - maybe I am delving too far into it. I still think that she is playing the long game and knew (or at least suspected) that Ramsay was evil and it wouldn't be an easy journey. I am hopeful she will come out of this victorious and her sacrifice will have been worth it. Agree about your edit.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I agree with all you say [Body]

Output: I agree with all you say there. My only objection was to the term "rape" which I believe belittles Sansa's deliberate course of action. I think we are largely on the same page. I still feel bad for Sansa that she has to go through all this bullshit with that monster, and I too hope she gets to kick some serious Bolton ass. Sooner rather than later.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Do you think Sansa willingly [Body]

Output: Do you think Sansa willingly married Ramsay?


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Why are you so quick to [Body]

Output: Why are you so quick to dismiss the possibility of Sansa rescuing theon? That would empower Sansa quite a bit.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Martin has discussed the [Body]

Output: Martin has discussed the series' ultimate end game with the show runners. They are aware of it and working towards it, and it should be the same for both. But how they get to the end game will not be the same. Martin does NOT have any say in the show changes. He is an advisor to the show and they run everything by him and give him a chance to give his input - but they do not need to heed his input if they don't want to.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Bender, thank you for your [Body]

Output: Bender, thank you for your truly thoughtful response. No sarcasm there. See my above response - I can't help but think they are trying to show Sansa's courageous-ness. I see your point and I agree that if she had said no, it wouldn't have mattered. However I'm thinking of a hypothetical real life equivalent - a poor mother who resorts to prostitution in order to provide for her children. Does she want to have sex with strangers? No, she definitely doesn't. But she does anyway because she believes she has no other recourse to provide for her fam. Does Sansa want to have sex with Ramsay? Definitely not. But she does anyway because she wants to regain her homeland and get revenge. So is that rape? Bravery? Maybe both?


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Thank you for your reasoned [Body]

Output: Thank you for your reasoned and thoughtful response. I know this is a fictional show, but I will lay out the facts as they exist in this fictional universe: 1. LF comes up with plan for Sansa to marry Ramsay. They discuss it. 2. Sansa thinks and agrees with the plan. It is a means to an end (the end being regaining her homeland and vengeance). 3. Sansa is a big girl and knows she will need to consummate the marriage. She still agrees. Which of the above do you disagree with? I think you are looking at it from one perspective as Sansa is a powerless victim. I am looking at it from the opposite side - Sansa is making a brave decision to do a distasteful thing (marrying Ramsay and everything it entails) in order to get what she wants. And yet you imply that I'm sexist and call me names and insult me. Thank you for your thoughtful contribution to the discussion.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I completely disagree that [Body]

Output: I completely disagree that this was rape. Sansa knew what she was getting in to. Several episodes ago when Littlefinger laid it out for her when they were overlooking Moat Cailin. When she agreed to this plan, she knew what would be required of her. What she didn't know was how sadistic Ramsay is, but she did know she would have to marry (and sleep with) him. In my view, she is making a courageous choice in order to regain her homeland and also to seek vengeance for her family. Saying this was rape implies this wasn't a conscious (not to mention courageous) decision by Sansa to marry Ramsay, which I believe it was.

Output: Well if you are worried about the Vikings, then I've got some bad news for you. Raiders are pirates. They marauded, murdered, raped, enslaved. Same with Buccaneers.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Regardless of the mascot [Body]

Output: Regardless of the mascot controversy, I just want to point out that your analogy is all wrong. The name "Vikings" is an official historical name given to a people group, and it would be analogous to "Native Americans", which is the official historical name given to the indigenous peoples of North America. The term "Redskin" is a slang term used to refer to Native Americans, and would be analogous to a slang term used to refer to Vikings. I am not aware of any slang terms for Vikings, though, so I can't give an example.

Output: This would be perfect. To fill out the staff, they could retain Hoke as DL coach, Mattison as LB coach, Woodson would retire from the NFL to be DBs coach, Tyrone Wheatley and Mike Hart would be co-RB coaches, and Borges and Heiko could even be brought on to be co-equipment managers.

Output: "But you've lost the ability to denounce any player for anything they do off the field." My reading of this is that Brian is denouncing Clark's actions as despicable, but is pausing to consider the circumstances / context and basically saying, "Walk a mile in Clark's shoes before you judge." You can look at the situation as a whole - denounce a player's terrible actions and still hope they learn from it and improve their life. I'm not sure what exactly your point is here? What is wrong with that? Maybe we should never denounce a college football player for their actions off the field without context?

Output: Welcome back, WD! Maybe Bando will apologize to you now.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Title] This is hilarious. Remember [Body]

Output: This is hilarious. Remember when Haegerup biffed the snap in the OSU game a couple years ago? He went to the sidelines and Hoke calmly encouraged him and gave him a pat on the back. At the time, everyone thought it was great coaching and pointed out how people like RR or Kelly would have screamed at him in rage, and how this was much better to encourage the player. And here we are, two years later - Hoke still has the same style, but now everyone is jumping on the guy for that encouraging style. The same encouraging style that he has had his entire tenure here, the same encouraging style that we (collectively) used to laud. Don't get me wrong, I think Hoke needs to go and this is not a defense of him. But this is ridiculous.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 5 days ago [Title] OT: "through a ringer" [Body]

Output: I know what that phrase means, but I've often wondered where it came from. Reading this prompted me to look it up. I'm not trying to be "that guy" but I just discovered that it is actually "through a/the wringer". A wringer is a machine used to press out liquid or moisture from clothes. I'm not sure if you already knew this or not, but I thought it was interesting. I'm sure most people could not care less about this, so I will now see myself out.

Output: You forgot that he also downvotes nearly every single thread, especially if it involves Detroit sports.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 5 days ago [Title] "likely to get a response" [Body]

Output: "I don’t see a problem with that as publically calling out your employer is likely going to generate a response." Yes, it sure did generate a response. Simmons basically dared them to do something. Calling out your employer publicly and daring them to discipline you does not seem like it is a smart thing to do if you like having your job. Also, ESPN is typically very conservative about these kinds of things, and this suspension fits in with their previous actions. This is at least the third time Simmons has been suspended. He likes to toe the line.

Output: Beat Minnesota Discontent will still bubble Like Coca-Cola


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Yeah, that is a very valid [Body]

Output: Yeah, that is a very valid part of your post, which is why I did not critique that line in my response. I mainly responded to highlight your negative slant towards Michigan. I typically enjoy your posts and find them very knowledgable, however they often lean towards being anti-Michigan, and it almost seems like you enjoy being negative about Michigan.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] soo. [Body]

Output: So you are asking our coach (who is one of the few coaches who doesn't act like an idiot, one who doesn't yell at his players and instead tends to teach his players and calmly explain the situation) to berate his team, his boys, during a hostile road game??? I can assume you have never coached in your life because as a Coach your behavior is one of your most valuable tools. You cannot just become a d*ck to your players when times are bad. its not about motivation. its out of character for beilein to act that way. And I am glad he didn't act that way.

Output: I love that whenever we play Wisc...even in 30 years we can more than likely include (insert best athlete here) will dunk on that ginger from Wisconsin.


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Title] only problem [Body]

Output: Only problem is that Wisc has never been the more athletic team and yet they find ways to check teams. This one is probably going to be ugly. Let's hope for a minimal amount of heroball needed today. Mich by 3.

Output: I mentioned this in the other thread but coming with 10 or so years of live sound experience, I do not for one second believe the mic had anything to do with it. And I know MSC is a very prolific public speaker who is not at all bothered by technology. And again, if there was an echo or feedback issue, you would here it, like in this video from when Mark Harmon spoke at the Big House (he did just fine). But in MSC video from the weekend, you don't hear any audio feedback or echo. Harmon did ok: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaH6nCdJ-Q8

Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] Brandon's connection thru Dominos/Nascar/Nets [Body]

Output: From behind the Rivals paysite, I think it was Doug Karsch's article that mentioned that Brandon was able to use his connection to Dominos eventually leading to the Nets bball team, Jay Z, etc to get to Beyonce. NASCAR was mentioned as well somehow. I've been around various UM circles enough (sorry can't be more specific here) to be pretty sure she was asked to come (as evidenced by her apology for not being able to make it) but it is not a pre-req for VIP celebs to be UM fans to be asked to help make appearances at some high profile events.... Don't ask me about some famous celebs who have turned us down..I'd violate some NDA :-)

Output: I can't post new topics so I'll just ask here: How exciting are the exhibition games? I'm thinking about bringing some people who have never been to a UM hockey game before, but I don't want to bring them to a sub-par experience. Is the crowd full? Do the students still do all the cheers?

(mgoblue) Then there's um_coachrod even though Coach Rod is probably (hopefully) too busy worrying about UConn than tweeting. and while it's more bball, you can consider following umhoops (of umhoops.com blog); Dylan does some football tweeting from time to time, esp. during games.

Output: I hate how it messes up traffic (I have to change my commute schedule and route every day) and the few businesses I have talked to don't like it either because it actually takes revenue away from them. (Everyone gets fair food...no one gets a haircut or goes into town to get a haircut, stuff like that, etc). And I don't like most of what is for sale at art fair. But. A group I'm with makes a killing on selling parking spots :-)

Input: [Date] 5 years 20 weeks ago [Title] I posted over in "M owns Munn"... [Body]

Output: but just got back from the game and it was my first away game for anything Michigan. Great atmosphere, good win. Nice to stick it to the home crowd.


Input: [Date] 5 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Just got back from Munn [Body]

Output: Thanks for the ticket advice. Great game; it was my first Michigan away-game experience in any sport. My friend and I were in a mostly Spartan section (I got some looks when I kept yelling "Who cares" during the Spartan player intros...not sure what came over me, I coulda gotten a beat down =P) After the 1st period we left and joined the student section and it got even better because we could cheer and chant with a lot more freedom. Even though we were a pretty small crowd it felt pretty good to rub it everyone's faces after the win ("Sea-son's O-ver!" etc). The student section made it our own little home game; our hockey culture is a lot stronger and it was obvious tonight.


Input: [Date] 5 years 20 weeks ago [Title] How to get tickets? [Body]

Output: "(And before you start, the NCAA NEVER comes down with the hammer on teams that WIN it all, so you can bet the records wouldn't be vacated if that was the case)." Really? Do you really think if we won the bball NC that they would not have vacated that? A part of me is glad we didn't win that game to save us the embarrassment of having to vacate a NC. (I'm a late bloomer btw, wasn't a UM fan back then, it's taken me some time to catch up)


Input: [Date] 5 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Yep, I originally said: I'd [Body]

Output: Yep, I originally said: I'd trade the 05 Penn State win for a win against App. Trading "Henne to Manningham!!!" for "and the kick is good" I'd trade a huge win for a SINGLE PLAY too: I would trade the 2008 Wisconsin win *just for Roy Roundtree not to have been tackled at the 1 yard line this year in Urbana* (the Illinois loss). I love Roy Squarebush but that single play and the subsequent inability to score a TD from 1 yard out on 4 tries was the tipping point in that game and the start of the downward spiral of the season. (Not the losses to Iowa or MSU, in my opinion)


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Seriously Name one person that vacations in Georgia? Savannah is it, and the reality is it's the only thing in Georgia to stop and see... Athens, yes, because everyone wants to live in the middle of the deep south 4hrs from a beach, 105 degrees, 95% Humidity and then at night it's still 85 degress and now 99% humidity. Oh and it gets better, when you walk outside, your instantly covered in sweat, not the good kind because it's so humid it forms a layer of slime on you. Georgia, cause everyone loves having to stay inside all day in the summer cause it's a 1000 degrees and you can't cool down cause your pool is 95 degrees..........Yeah, been there and as I said one place to visit and that's it. [Title]

Output: everyone loves 100 degrees and 95% humidity in june too..


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Nussmeier is the new OC at Florida, for a new staff and most recruits are quite familiar with the Alabama run game's dominance under Nussmeier as OC so there is no doubt that was sold to him. Add to that, our staff already has 3 rb commits even if two of them end up at fb ..... that's crowded for one class alone without adding a 4th rb. [Title]

Output: Not surprising


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Remove Helmets and start taking money out of players pockets for leading with their heads. By removing money I mean, suspension for intentional helmet hits, offensive players too for droping their heads for hits. And not the same as the drug policy but after so many personal fouls for helmet to helmet up the suspension to 2 games no pay. Then force players to sit for caused concussions resulting from an intentional helmet to helmet hit, ie a caused concussion equals 2 games for the offending player. Also, get even more strict on the launch hits. I still see a number that aren't called. It's the only way to fix the issue. The other thing, any failed ped tests should limit liability for this. I still say believe players are juiced and it's a major cause for the severity of injuries, namely head injuries in football. Players want the nfl to pay for head injuries then they should subject themselves to even more ped testing. [Title]

Output: Remove Helmets


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Imho officiating would have a lot to do with Kentucky losing. Meaning this team just bullies opponents inside. So, unless we get a crew that is calling a tight game against a solid shooting opponent like Duke, Virginia, Wisconsin, Arizona and maybe a couple others, Kentucky is going to roll this tournament. Kansas, being the next best team in that bracket is weak. They don't play consistent ball at all and do not have a player capable of taking over a game against Kentucky. If they make it at all. ND doesn't have the size to stay with kentucky so they get rolled if they make it. By bracket, Kentucky is automatically in the final 4, so imho it's a 2 game tournament for Kentucky. [Title]

Output: kentucky...vs the field, take kentucky

Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Body] The spring game which is realy a glorified practice is not the place to determine anything about the 2014 team. Talk to anyone that has attended an actual practice to tell you the story rather than reading something from someone who never attended any of the practices. Don't take too much out of spring because after spring summer workouts and fall camp you will then find out who has put the time in all off season. Spring you get some info on what is going on. Best news out of spring is the dline looks far better as a group right now and the players fitting the responsibilities of the 4-3 over better has payed off for them. So, we will wait till the first game of the season and see how that matches up. O Line has been hit/miss but will wait and see again. [Title]

Output: The spring game/practice


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] Funny and intense. Very good technically and demands those guys block. Should see blocking video they had of gallon, he embarrassed a lot of corners and safeties thinking they would take him. Finally happy about where the wr corp is skill wise compared to the lats 6yrs... [Title]

Output: Heck is a great coach


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] In sports you earn/win your respect. Florida is getting respect due to how they are playing and the fact their coach has to titles. They have done it. Ky is getting respect because the program is tops in bball, and they just won a title 2yrs ago and have top talent now, just very young and you see them growing up infront of us this tournament and the sec tournament. Michigan, hasn't seen a ton of respect this tournament namely becuase the 3 stars from last yr's run are either in the nba, or injured now, mcgary! So looking at our games agianst msu and wisconsin it's obvious our team can be pushed inside. Hence, tennessee being the popular pick due to their length at the perimeter and strength of their inside game. Msu, getting a ton of respect now getting their top inside players back and msu looking like an izzo team again. Like ky, they are playing very well and the team has taken big steps the last few weeks. Hence they became the hot pick to win it all. Wisconsin, has beaten 2 teams nobody thought they actually would given the matchups. Big10 just earned a ton of respect all 3 beating teams that were considered tough matchups for each team. All 3 into the elite 8! They won the nations respect as a conference. I'll say this, it doesn't matter who wins the national title as far as conference strength is concerned. I never got that arguement... alabama wins in football to me has no bearing. Fsu won it in football this yr and doesn't remotely convince me that the acc was the best. This yr sec 0-2 in bcs games and acc is 2-0 with the national title...who here thinks the acc is a better football conference? Same in basketball... Florida could win the tournament or kentucky, wouldn't remotely convince me the sec is a better bball conference than big10, big12, acc or pac12! [Title]

Output: Win respect


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] Never heard of CJ's, right now way to many craft brews out to try them all. Being from Cincy I am trying to get through all the local breweries that have popped up as well as some of the top national craft brews. Bells, Centennial, 3 Floyds, Michigan is well represented nationally..., I have heard there are a few more to try that arent national. Cincinnati has, Madtree, 50 west, Rivertown, Rinegheist, Mt. Carmel and a few others that are just excellent breweries! Still, I always find my way back to Sam Adams Boston Lager and Guiness....... [Title]

Output: Tried centennial, like two hearted much better


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] All I can tell you is I have been to spring practice with maizeman, know him and he does work for the athletic department which is how he is in. He expresses his views from what he see's. Coachbt, he is a hs coach from the toledo area that attends every coaches clinic and also gets to attend a couple practices as a result. Eroc, knows maizeman and has gone to many practices via maizman. They all have developed relationships within the athletic department. I have met many other posters that attend the coaches clinic, that have ties to the athletic department via friendships of ad employees, former players, coaches and boosters. Know a couple that are big boosters. Am I an insider, not remotely. But as I stated last yr I did go to a couple practices with maizeman and know very well he has access to the staff, players and practices as it isn't a claim it is a fact. The guys that want to insult my writing, wgaf what you think, I shared something I have actually seen, know and witnessed. You, you bitch and complain about others who shared and wasn't trying to charge anyone money for doing so. So, wtf ever [Title]

Output: Me, nobody, maize man, not sure,


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] I stated an undefeated osu should have been in over a 1 loss sec team. That I stated, that I believe of any bcs team. If you are going to post my thoughts at least know them. I stated the sec is over rated in that 1 loss sec teams deserve to be in the title game over undefeated teams. Get your head out of your tail about my thoughts. [Title]

Output: You don't know what I thought!


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] And you guys insult their writing and analysis. Kind if does... reeealllyl.... I went to spring practice last yr with maizeman. He does have access. The two practices I saw last yr, Ross was playing awesome and was the best defensive player on the field. I got to see Countess doing drills and knew last yr was going to be rough as a man corner for him. Offense, Darboh and Chesson looked better than Funchess....and you didn't see Gallon do anything. Jake Ryan was on crutches and he was everywhere encouraging the defense and lbers.... So, while you all accuse them of knowing nothing I can vouch for them not that it means anything as I don't personally know any of you all. But, everything i saw fit to what happened last season. Run game sucked, interior oline just wasn't what I thought it would be and the dt's were a work in progress. Honestly last season I was fooled by the nd game though. I thought they would lose that game and end up with 10 wins losing to either Osu or Nw as the other loss opposite nd. I thought nd was better than what they showed in that game. Ross was not close to the player he showed in spring, Darboh's injury really hurt, oline burzynski's injury really hurt. Bosch was the best technically of all the tr fr and rs fr oline, however Braden was physiclaly awesome and starting at LG all spring. That was last yr... So, reports on spring practices remember, they are practicing against their own team and get used to the calls of the other side of the ball and the player infront of them. So, you have to take it with a grain of salt and realize the reports are just that. Mixed opinions of what they see. I was at practice and had some disagreement maizeman's analysis. But that is also why I try to put what coach bt says along with maizeman and come up with what's in the middle. Both attend practices, both know the coaching staff far more than you guys would like to admit. So sit back, enjoy your beer threads, btw, bells two harted, madtree gnarly brown and guiness are still the best beers on the planet! [Title]

Output: and you guys insult their writing…..


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Body] All of them said the same things. Coaches push them to get better, if you only were bigger, if you were just a bit stronger if you were quicker, faster.... Always pushed them and compared to best players on the team. Natural right... the message would be clear, get better or go elsewhere... it's up to you... They would make sure they knew well in advance of testing. Don't fail the tests, we don't want any athlete failing tests... this is when the test is... don't fail the tests.. continually repeated over and over adnauseum. They would also say, you could tell who was and who wasn't. Abnormal weight gain is not going from hs s&c to college elite s&c. Normal weight gain is about 15lbs of muscle over 1yr period of time. 20 can happen but he had to work out a whole heck of a lot more than just the last 4 months from january through spring ball!!! Guys putting on weight is normal, 25+ lbs of ripped shredded weight and he is juiced! But there are a lot more ped's than just testosterone. Hgh, blood doping for endurance, beta blockers for focus that many qb's will use, students will use... which I have no problem with.. but they all use them. [Title]

Output: Have known a few d1 players that used.


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] All that said, it doesn't matter urban was never going to suspend any other player further! Either the big ten was going to, uhmm nope, or it wasn't happening so we all knew it wasn't happening. [Title]

Output: What desmond said is right..


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] Is the increase for more support staff needed? I wouldn't think everyone just received a 62% pay increase though some may have been given a pay increase to match the going rate of their position. In that case it is needed... for any and all. For me the questions are.. Is the ad financially living within the budgets set? Are they making more money than they are spending? Are building for the success of the athletic programs now and in the future? And last, with the expansion of the athletic campus and all the related projects have they been able to meet the financial burden of those projects and continue to sustain for the future. The obvious to that is yes. It has to continue as well. I am sure that Brandon and company see what concerns the donors/alumni/ticket holders have. I would bet they will be quick to back off it they reach the tipping point. Something was posted on another board via an alumni function last spring where Dave Brandon spoke. At length he spoke about the goals of winning the bigten, bcs and national title in football as the best ways to increase revenue and the last one by far has the biggest impact. He cited the effect it had on other universities that have won football national championships and how much it increased cash flow into the athletic department of those schools. So, that is the goal..... [Title]

Output: ad ...


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] Our school hosted them, allowed them field passes for the game which is impossible to get and got face time with Hoke on the day of the game. The family, osu fans/grads yeah they could have taken the osu hats off but who cares about that to be honest. imho it showed michigan is above all that! [Title]

Output: Consider, Michigan hosted them


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] Such a huge win and those players all came up big! Rewatching that game I forgot how beat up the team was. LT Backus didn't play, adami was playing injured and quite immobile. Howard was out, streets was battling a hammy. Forgot all about that........ Reminds me of how good they were to keep overcoming everything. On offense, overcame some bad turnovers and field position the 2nd half. Got enough points with limited offense and still won. Defense just took over that game! [Title]

Output: Remember that game...


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Far too many athletic depts have done this and pro teams as well...... A friend of mine a 20yr season ticket holder for the bengals of all teams had good seats and paid the psl when they built pbs in cincy. He paid that psl and then got moved to lesser seats only to find the corperate buyers were buying blocks of good seats and he got moved as a result...add to that, they didn't refund the difference in the psl they charged to the rate for the seats he was given. I haven't heard michigan do this to season ticket holders yet so long as they paid the donation...however it has been done I am sure. Really sucks..... [Title]

Output: steveinpa


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] who are illogical anyway.............................that would have been the response of many fanbases around the country no matter the university. Heck, athletes get accused of rape and I see message board posters saying the girl deserved it, led him on, what ever else.........you get alot of fair responses...........my response always is, lets wait to find out what actually happened, if he did it, by all means put him in prison and let the legal system handle it.....if he didn't do it, lets not assassinate his character, but lets not do that till we find out. [Title]

Output: you are talking about fans


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] You used ohio st... so lets review... Ncaa investigates and there is clear evidence that the Head coach lied, covered up student athletes actions to keep them eligible to win more football games to make a bcs bowl or bcs championship game. Ncaa, did they follow their own by laws to punish ohio st? No, they let ohio st walk with minimal penalty as the head coach clearly broke the rules. What did ohio st do, they fired the head coach and said this is all on him. Ncaa what did they do, they gave minimal punishment and didn't at all charge ohio st with the crime of lack of institutional control as defined by a coach knowing about extra benefits and hiding them. No, they got minor charges a few scholarships and a 1 year bowl ban. So, now let me add, North Carolina with proven academic fraud, Auburn had a players family take nearly $200,000 that we know and the ncaa dismissed the investigation, Oregon paying people to send recruits to their school, Miami fl and that fiasco and several more I am forgetting to mention............................... The ncaa cannot even keep it's own house clean and yet you and everyone else thinks it's okay for them to punish pennst for something that didn't involve a single student athlete, or coach at the university. Now, before you rip me, Sandusky was not a football coach when the known incident happened. Now, the ncaa jumping in on this is like the department of education going and grabbing a drug dealer and stealing, ie fining him every dime he has because he sold drugs on school grounds before the fbi could arrest him.............it isn't their jurisdiction no matter the crime commited. Even worse it was obvious what the ncaa's motive was, and it sure as heck wasn't to do the right thing. The right thing Pennst, should have settled immediately with all victims and offered every victim full tuition education or pay off all student loans for those who already had grown and gone to college. Pennst should have offered to pay for or repay all expenses for therapy incurred to the victims. IE, pennst needs to make it right for the victims completely, that is the right thing to do. Ncaa, had no business in this, they had no intention of doing any thing right for the victims and their fighting with the state of pa over the 60million proves I am right. They thought they had a money grab and I am glad the state of pa shoved that right up the ncaa's arse and said no, that money will stay in state and go to childrens charities. Pennst the unveristy should pay a price, but rather it's football or not idk, I first and foremost believe the punishment should have come from the dept of education and dept of justice to put away those responsible and then put down further punishment on the university as they saw fit. [Title]

Output: I somewhat agree here but....


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] But I thik it's retarded to punish the football program and fanbase, alumni and everyone else involved with football or the university that had zip to do with this, which is everyone outside of the few people that actually knew and 4 in charge that could have done something about it. The rioting that is the football culture of not wanting to believe the icon had something to do with covering it up. A case, although extremely weak that paterno reported it to superiors is true but he also was proven to have influenced not reporting it to 2nd mile and to the state police and arresting sandusky......so that blows that out of the water. My opinion of Joepa is forever changed as his rep was built on great character the do it right kind of person to lead young men. That's gone, but it doesn't mean the university shouldn't be able to move on and build what should have been. Pennst deserves punishment and has got that punishment from the ncaa, I just don't think the ncaa had any business or place doing it. IE, they went to clean pennst's house and they can't even clean their own as though they had moral authority. Tell me when the ncaa went to nd, msu or any other campus to investigate sex crimes alleged by athletes? The dept of justice and dept of education are the entities that should have handled this and should have told the ncaa to get out of their way period. On another note, before anyone goes high moral standard about pennst and covering this up, the very reason the laws about reporting sex crimes on any federal funded university, high, middle or elementary school is in the books is because of this very reason. How many times have we heard complaints over the years of colleges sweeping rapes under the rug to keep crime statistics down. That happened at so many places across the country it is disgusting, and just as disgusting as what happened at pennst. Or athletes raping girls and getting away with it and the girls intimidated or forced to leave school for their safety all to protect the program because said player may help them win games. Those are the reasons these laws do exist. But has the ncaa ever investigated one of those that are actually involving student athletes? Never, so a case they had no business in they jumped on for media attention and a 60 million dollar money grab. Yes that money was forced to stay in the state of pa and that was after the state told the ncaa it wasn't allowing that money to go elsewhere as all funds at psu are considered state funds if the university is to pay out money. The ncaa in it's briliance tried to argue it was athletic dept funds not univerisity funds. So you see where their real motive was! [Title]

Output: I don't feel bad for pennst, nor am I crying a river for them


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] From 2002 Pennst, namely the 4 people who allowed it are culpable. Not the 40,000 who had nothing to do with this as they can't do a dang thing about rumor or innuendo, but the people who had real knowlege, Spanier, Shultz, Paterno, McQueary and his dad and one other I am forgetting could have, should have and didn't! They are the ones to be punished, put in prison for a cover up. Punishing the football program and saying the ridiculous things about blowing up the stadium is just retarded. It doesn't do a dang thing to fix what happened or punish the actual cuplprits. As they are the ones who allowed Sandusky to use the brand, facilities and anything else. 60million was only to stay in the state for children after the state of pa said it wasn't leaving and told the ncaa as much. Ncaa tried to fight it, so what does that tell you about their motive. 2002 was a real incident, no more rumor and inuendo. And the people that covered it up need to pay the price, I will always say that. They deserve prison as well, all of them. Just like anyone who knew a Michigan professor was harboring child porn....should pay the price. Not the pennst program that had nothing to do with this. [Title]

Output: I realize my opinion isn't popular that's fine


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Ncaa was way out of bounds to punish PSU as not one single by-law was broken regarding student athletes. Second, Ncaa had zero interest in what was right. They saw a money grab, ie $60 million dollar fine! For what? To go to who, to do what with? Tell me I am wrong cause they sure as heck was not giving a dime of that money to the victims. Not one person of the 4 who knew of the incidents are around at all. NCAA went back to 1998 which was bs because that investigation found nothing and Sandusky was forced to step down. There was nothing anyone could do legally at that point. The legal system coudln't do anything so what was pennst going to do other than what they did at that point. 2002 the McQueary deal, from then on Jopa and company were responsible for covering up for a friend. It had nothing to do with protecting football as the ncaa had no boundary. And if paterno turns in a friend then and the chief of campus police acts, they are hero's for doing the right thing.....and what would have happened to football? Nothing, so stop the bs it was to protect football it was to protect a life long friend by joepa. Pull your heads out of the cloud that the culture of football did this, it was one friend protecting another cause nothing else was on the line. That happens every day in our society across many fronts including criminal. Ncaa is a joke, I hope pennst sues and wins against the ncaa. Now, Pennst deserves to face what ever punishment as a university from the Dept of Education for not reporting this as required by law. But again, why punish anyone and everyone who is not there for something that they didn't do. Who deserves to be punished. Joepa, and the other 3 that covered this. Not the 40,000+students and facualty. Not the football players and coaches that have nothing to do with this. And I read tear down beaver stadium, seriously. Michigan just had a professor with child porn that wasn't immediately reported, uhmmm do you want to destroy the entire university and rip building down by building for this? Cause that is illogical thinking. Oh, Sandusky, lets not forget, he is the criminal and deserves life in prison and everything that goes with that. EIther general population or solitary, idk either way...... [Title]

Output: Ncaa is full of it and needs to be sued!


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Glassgow didn't help chip, push the nt, Miller was beat at the snap by the nt, the de gets upfield and holds contain forcing the play to stay inside. Kalis is lost and doesn't know wtf to do and doesn't block anyone.... If Kalis sets the backside block there is a cutback for Fitz and a good lane there as well. If Glassgow helps chip on the nt and gets the nt flowing without penetration then he can scrape to the lber. If Kalis blocks his lber or finds someone to block there is a cut back. If the TE gets to the de and doesn't let him penetrate the hole to go through is either much bigger or there is room for Fitz to bounce. No matter what, this play was blown up from the snap! This happened all game long! [Title]

Output: just say it


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Players in Husker history! 2 national titles, a 3rd nc game that was a missed fg from winning 3 straight and would have been 3 straight undefeated seasons! There is no doubt he has the ears of the husker fanbase and boosters/alumni! But, Tom Osbourne isn't the head coach and this isn't the days of the husker option attack. Actually, they got rid of Solich 2yrs too early as they could have waited this thing out and they would have been running the Read Option spread game better than anyone! Instead they ditched all of it, all of their old recruing grounds for Callahan! They need a head coach and assistant coaches that have recruiting cache again that can grab texas talent like they used to. Pelini, he could be a dead man walking if they don't compete for a bigten title! [Title]

Output: Frazier was one of the most successfull


Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Body] Lots of brass, lots of music loudly...btw, my wife asked what cartoon music they were playing when they started the nd victory march....I busted out laughing cause she had no idea and was serious. [Title]

Output: Nd's band is what 430 members...


Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Body] Texas will likely be open as will Usc. Also consider Saban's family, they moved from East lansing to baton rouge in 2000, to Miami in 2004 to Alabama in 06/07, I don't think the family wants to move and establish all new relationships right now........with all new unreal expectations in a building process, again. Jmho, Saban has reached the summit of coaching in college and the only thing left is the nfl and he isn't going back. [Title]

Output: No way Saban leaves Bama


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Body] What are their measures though? IMO the measure should be for 3 types of games... #1 Biggest Rival game, what is the atmosphere or what ever the biggest game every year is.... #2 What is the normal atmosphere for a conference game, the avg game say iowa or northwestern, solid opponent. #3 What is it for the gimme games.... is the place dead or are the fans still rocking..... Pennst has the best atmosphere for a big night game, and imho that is best in the country. That said, I think Michigan's night game for ND was better than Osu's big night game for Texas or Usc... that said, Osu has a great atmosphere and nobody can deny that. I will say this, Pennst has the most fun fans in cf, I have been around them for games at Michigan and seen them at Happy Valley and they have a good time. Osu fans are just overall pissy either way... good atmosphere but man they live and die with each individual play... and their games against bad opponents that place is a tomb...and most are. Michigan #1, osu/nd environment is entirely different, namely osu... far more intense for a home game against either of these teams. #2 Very middle of the pack in the bigten for an avg home game...crowd gets loud for 3rd downs and intimidating but why not on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and even 4th down... Seriously... Osu/nd crowd is intense every play, every down....but not for the avg team.... #3 Lets never play eastern again...nobody wants that game and fans barely stand for the victors... I don't care what they say, in 2007 the attendance was not 100,000, I would put it closer to 80,000..........so middle of the pac of bigten teams here as well. Michigan, basically for Big games.... is up with Pennst, and Ohio st for best envirionments....for #2 and 3 avg about #5.... Bigten overall #1 big game environment.. Pennst, Michigan, Ohiost and Nebraska as tops... #2 avg conf opponents Wisconsin, Pennst, Ohio st, Nebraska, Michigan, Iowa in order... #3 Wisconsin, Nebraska, Pennst, Ohio st, Michigan, Iowa.... Jmo but those are the order and it changes based upon opponent... Measureing Pennst's biggest night game to a noon game for michigan against iowa is not a measurement of environment... Otherwise just compare same game situations... [Title]

Output: what is the measure though?


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] 2011 was incomplete only because of the state yr. And, I know many will laugh because our team was no where near ready for it....but consider the fact that they were literally a couple plays from being undefeated..........Iowa was quite literally 2 plays... and Msu was the same, quite literally a couple plays.......... None of us would have thought they were ready but...from my perspective at that time it let me put the burden down of the RR era.. Also, I carry nothing from 2004 - 2006 I really didn't. From 2007 though, it felt like an eternity...like being on the ship going down and you can't fix it.....you know you have a life raft and will be fine but you can't fix it.............that was 2007-2010 for me............... [Title]

Output: I just quit carrying that burden....


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Virginia, Vatech, Washington/Wazzu..Oregon/Oregon St, Cal Stanford, zona / asu and others. Best instate though is Bama, Auburn for intensity... but overall I can't think of a great instate with the competitive balance of good great programs. [Title]

Output: others


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Title] everyone loves 100 degrees and 95% humidity in june too.. [Body]

Output: Seriously Name one person that vacations in Georgia? Savannah is it, and the reality is it's the only thing in Georgia to stop and see... Athens, yes, because everyone wants to live in the middle of the deep south 4hrs from a beach, 105 degrees, 95% Humidity and then at night it's still 85 degress and now 99% humidity. Oh and it gets better, when you walk outside, your instantly covered in sweat, not the good kind because it's so humid it forms a layer of slime on you. Georgia, cause everyone loves having to stay inside all day in the summer cause it's a 1000 degrees and you can't cool down cause your pool is 95 degrees..........Yeah, been there and as I said one place to visit and that's it.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Not surprising [Body]

Output: Nussmeier is the new OC at Florida, for a new staff and most recruits are quite familiar with the Alabama run game's dominance under Nussmeier as OC so there is no doubt that was sold to him. Add to that, our staff already has 3 rb commits even if two of them end up at fb ..... that's crowded for one class alone without adding a 4th rb.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Remove Helmets [Body]

Output: Remove Helmets and start taking money out of players pockets for leading with their heads. By removing money I mean, suspension for intentional helmet hits, offensive players too for droping their heads for hits. And not the same as the drug policy but after so many personal fouls for helmet to helmet up the suspension to 2 games no pay. Then force players to sit for caused concussions resulting from an intentional helmet to helmet hit, ie a caused concussion equals 2 games for the offending player. Also, get even more strict on the launch hits. I still see a number that aren't called. It's the only way to fix the issue. The other thing, any failed ped tests should limit liability for this. I still say believe players are juiced and it's a major cause for the severity of injuries, namely head injuries in football. Players want the nfl to pay for head injuries then they should subject themselves to even more ped testing.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 6 days ago [Title] kentucky...vs the field, take kentucky [Body]

Output: Imho officiating would have a lot to do with Kentucky losing. Meaning this team just bullies opponents inside. So, unless we get a crew that is calling a tight game against a solid shooting opponent like Duke, Virginia, Wisconsin, Arizona and maybe a couple others, Kentucky is going to roll this tournament. Kansas, being the next best team in that bracket is weak. They don't play consistent ball at all and do not have a player capable of taking over a game against Kentucky. If they make it at all. ND doesn't have the size to stay with kentucky so they get rolled if they make it. By bracket, Kentucky is automatically in the final 4, so imho it's a 2 game tournament for Kentucky.


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Title] If Swarbrick were really genius [Body]

Output: He would sell the field to a donor who believes the grass is Tradition... Well, in that case he should have sold the hs level scoreboard too!


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Title] The spring game/practice [Body]

Output: The spring game which is realy a glorified practice is not the place to determine anything about the 2014 team. Talk to anyone that has attended an actual practice to tell you the story rather than reading something from someone who never attended any of the practices. Don't take too much out of spring because after spring summer workouts and fall camp you will then find out who has put the time in all off season. Spring you get some info on what is going on. Best news out of spring is the dline looks far better as a group right now and the players fitting the responsibilities of the 4-3 over better has payed off for them. So, we will wait till the first game of the season and see how that matches up. O Line has been hit/miss but will wait and see again.


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Title] Heck is a great coach [Body]

Output: Funny and intense. Very good technically and demands those guys block. Should see blocking video they had of gallon, he embarrassed a lot of corners and safeties thinking they would take him. Finally happy about where the wr corp is skill wise compared to the lats 6yrs...


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Title] Win respect [Body]

Output: In sports you earn/win your respect. Florida is getting respect due to how they are playing and the fact their coach has to titles. They have done it. Ky is getting respect because the program is tops in bball, and they just won a title 2yrs ago and have top talent now, just very young and you see them growing up infront of us this tournament and the sec tournament. Michigan, hasn't seen a ton of respect this tournament namely becuase the 3 stars from last yr's run are either in the nba, or injured now, mcgary! So looking at our games agianst msu and wisconsin it's obvious our team can be pushed inside. Hence, tennessee being the popular pick due to their length at the perimeter and strength of their inside game. Msu, getting a ton of respect now getting their top inside players back and msu looking like an izzo team again. Like ky, they are playing very well and the team has taken big steps the last few weeks. Hence they became the hot pick to win it all. Wisconsin, has beaten 2 teams nobody thought they actually would given the matchups. Big10 just earned a ton of respect all 3 beating teams that were considered tough matchups for each team. All 3 into the elite 8! They won the nations respect as a conference. I'll say this, it doesn't matter who wins the national title as far as conference strength is concerned. I never got that arguement... alabama wins in football to me has no bearing. Fsu won it in football this yr and doesn't remotely convince me that the acc was the best. This yr sec 0-2 in bcs games and acc is 2-0 with the national title...who here thinks the acc is a better football conference? Same in basketball... Florida could win the tournament or kentucky, wouldn't remotely convince me the sec is a better bball conference than big10, big12, acc or pac12!


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] Tried centennial, like two hearted much better [Body]

Output: Never heard of CJ's, right now way to many craft brews out to try them all. Being from Cincy I am trying to get through all the local breweries that have popped up as well as some of the top national craft brews. Bells, Centennial, 3 Floyds, Michigan is well represented nationally..., I have heard there are a few more to try that arent national. Cincinnati has, Madtree, 50 west, Rivertown, Rinegheist, Mt. Carmel and a few others that are just excellent breweries! Still, I always find my way back to Sam Adams Boston Lager and Guiness.......


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] Me, nobody, maize man, not sure, [Body]

Output: All I can tell you is I have been to spring practice with maizeman, know him and he does work for the athletic department which is how he is in. He expresses his views from what he see's. Coachbt, he is a hs coach from the toledo area that attends every coaches clinic and also gets to attend a couple practices as a result. Eroc, knows maizeman and has gone to many practices via maizman. They all have developed relationships within the athletic department. I have met many other posters that attend the coaches clinic, that have ties to the athletic department via friendships of ad employees, former players, coaches and boosters. Know a couple that are big boosters. Am I an insider, not remotely. But as I stated last yr I did go to a couple practices with maizeman and know very well he has access to the staff, players and practices as it isn't a claim it is a fact. The guys that want to insult my writing, wgaf what you think, I shared something I have actually seen, know and witnessed. You, you bitch and complain about others who shared and wasn't trying to charge anyone money for doing so. So, wtf ever


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] You don't know what I thought! [Body]

Output: I stated an undefeated osu should have been in over a 1 loss sec team. That I stated, that I believe of any bcs team. If you are going to post my thoughts at least know them. I stated the sec is over rated in that 1 loss sec teams deserve to be in the title game over undefeated teams. Get your head out of your tail about my thoughts.


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] and you guys insult their writing….. [Body]

Output: And you guys insult their writing and analysis. Kind if does... reeealllyl.... I went to spring practice last yr with maizeman. He does have access. The two practices I saw last yr, Ross was playing awesome and was the best defensive player on the field. I got to see Countess doing drills and knew last yr was going to be rough as a man corner for him. Offense, Darboh and Chesson looked better than Funchess....and you didn't see Gallon do anything. Jake Ryan was on crutches and he was everywhere encouraging the defense and lbers.... So, while you all accuse them of knowing nothing I can vouch for them not that it means anything as I don't personally know any of you all. But, everything i saw fit to what happened last season. Run game sucked, interior oline just wasn't what I thought it would be and the dt's were a work in progress. Honestly last season I was fooled by the nd game though. I thought they would lose that game and end up with 10 wins losing to either Osu or Nw as the other loss opposite nd. I thought nd was better than what they showed in that game. Ross was not close to the player he showed in spring, Darboh's injury really hurt, oline burzynski's injury really hurt. Bosch was the best technically of all the tr fr and rs fr oline, however Braden was physiclaly awesome and starting at LG all spring. That was last yr... So, reports on spring practices remember, they are practicing against their own team and get used to the calls of the other side of the ball and the player infront of them. So, you have to take it with a grain of salt and realize the reports are just that. Mixed opinions of what they see. I was at practice and had some disagreement maizeman's analysis. But that is also why I try to put what coach bt says along with maizeman and come up with what's in the middle. Both attend practices, both know the coaching staff far more than you guys would like to admit. So sit back, enjoy your beer threads, btw, bells two harted, madtree gnarly brown and guiness are still the best beers on the planet!


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Title] Have known a few d1 players that used. [Body]

Output: All of them said the same things. Coaches push them to get better, if you only were bigger, if you were just a bit stronger if you were quicker, faster.... Always pushed them and compared to best players on the team. Natural right... the message would be clear, get better or go elsewhere... it's up to you... They would make sure they knew well in advance of testing. Don't fail the tests, we don't want any athlete failing tests... this is when the test is... don't fail the tests.. continually repeated over and over adnauseum. They would also say, you could tell who was and who wasn't. Abnormal weight gain is not going from hs s&c to college elite s&c. Normal weight gain is about 15lbs of muscle over 1yr period of time. 20 can happen but he had to work out a whole heck of a lot more than just the last 4 months from january through spring ball!!! Guys putting on weight is normal, 25+ lbs of ripped shredded weight and he is juiced! But there are a lot more ped's than just testosterone. Hgh, blood doping for endurance, beta blockers for focus that many qb's will use, students will use... which I have no problem with.. but they all use them.


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Title] What desmond said is right.. [Body]

Output: All that said, it doesn't matter urban was never going to suspend any other player further! Either the big ten was going to, uhmm nope, or it wasn't happening so we all knew it wasn't happening.


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

Output: Is the increase for more support staff needed? I wouldn't think everyone just received a 62% pay increase though some may have been given a pay increase to match the going rate of their position. In that case it is needed... for any and all. For me the questions are.. Is the ad financially living within the budgets set? Are they making more money than they are spending? Are building for the success of the athletic programs now and in the future? And last, with the expansion of the athletic campus and all the related projects have they been able to meet the financial burden of those projects and continue to sustain for the future. The obvious to that is yes. It has to continue as well. I am sure that Brandon and company see what concerns the donors/alumni/ticket holders have. I would bet they will be quick to back off it they reach the tipping point. Something was posted on another board via an alumni function last spring where Dave Brandon spoke. At length he spoke about the goals of winning the bigten, bcs and national title in football as the best ways to increase revenue and the last one by far has the biggest impact. He cited the effect it had on other universities that have won football national championships and how much it increased cash flow into the athletic department of those schools. So, that is the goal.....


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] Consider, Michigan hosted them [Body]

Output: Our school hosted them, allowed them field passes for the game which is impossible to get and got face time with Hoke on the day of the game. The family, osu fans/grads yeah they could have taken the osu hats off but who cares about that to be honest. imho it showed michigan is above all that!


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] Remember that game... [Body]

Output: Such a huge win and those players all came up big! Rewatching that game I forgot how beat up the team was. LT Backus didn't play, adami was playing injured and quite immobile. Howard was out, streets was battling a hammy. Forgot all about that........ Reminds me of how good they were to keep overcoming everything. On offense, overcame some bad turnovers and field position the 2nd half. Got enough points with limited offense and still won. Defense just took over that game!


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] steveinpa [Body]

Output: Far too many athletic depts have done this and pro teams as well...... A friend of mine a 20yr season ticket holder for the bengals of all teams had good seats and paid the psl when they built pbs in cincy. He paid that psl and then got moved to lesser seats only to find the corperate buyers were buying blocks of good seats and he got moved as a result...add to that, they didn't refund the difference in the psl they charged to the rate for the seats he was given. I haven't heard michigan do this to season ticket holders yet so long as they paid the donation...however it has been done I am sure. Really sucks.....


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] you are talking about fans [Body]

Output: who are illogical anyway.............................that would have been the response of many fanbases around the country no matter the university. Heck, athletes get accused of rape and I see message board posters saying the girl deserved it, led him on, what ever else.........you get alot of fair responses...........my response always is, lets wait to find out what actually happened, if he did it, by all means put him in prison and let the legal system handle it.....if he didn't do it, lets not assassinate his character, but lets not do that till we find out.


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] I somewhat agree here but.... [Body]

Output: You used ohio st... so lets review... Ncaa investigates and there is clear evidence that the Head coach lied, covered up student athletes actions to keep them eligible to win more football games to make a bcs bowl or bcs championship game. Ncaa, did they follow their own by laws to punish ohio st? No, they let ohio st walk with minimal penalty as the head coach clearly broke the rules. What did ohio st do, they fired the head coach and said this is all on him. Ncaa what did they do, they gave minimal punishment and didn't at all charge ohio st with the crime of lack of institutional control as defined by a coach knowing about extra benefits and hiding them. No, they got minor charges a few scholarships and a 1 year bowl ban. So, now let me add, North Carolina with proven academic fraud, Auburn had a players family take nearly $200,000 that we know and the ncaa dismissed the investigation, Oregon paying people to send recruits to their school, Miami fl and that fiasco and several more I am forgetting to mention............................... The ncaa cannot even keep it's own house clean and yet you and everyone else thinks it's okay for them to punish pennst for something that didn't involve a single student athlete, or coach at the university. Now, before you rip me, Sandusky was not a football coach when the known incident happened. Now, the ncaa jumping in on this is like the department of education going and grabbing a drug dealer and stealing, ie fining him every dime he has because he sold drugs on school grounds before the fbi could arrest him.............it isn't their jurisdiction no matter the crime commited. Even worse it was obvious what the ncaa's motive was, and it sure as heck wasn't to do the right thing. The right thing Pennst, should have settled immediately with all victims and offered every victim full tuition education or pay off all student loans for those who already had grown and gone to college. Pennst should have offered to pay for or repay all expenses for therapy incurred to the victims. IE, pennst needs to make it right for the victims completely, that is the right thing to do. Ncaa, had no business in this, they had no intention of doing any thing right for the victims and their fighting with the state of pa over the 60million proves I am right. They thought they had a money grab and I am glad the state of pa shoved that right up the ncaa's arse and said no, that money will stay in state and go to childrens charities. Pennst the unveristy should pay a price, but rather it's football or not idk, I first and foremost believe the punishment should have come from the dept of education and dept of justice to put away those responsible and then put down further punishment on the university as they saw fit.

Output: But I thik it's retarded to punish the football program and fanbase, alumni and everyone else involved with football or the university that had zip to do with this, which is everyone outside of the few people that actually knew and 4 in charge that could have done something about it. The rioting that is the football culture of not wanting to believe the icon had something to do with covering it up. A case, although extremely weak that paterno reported it to superiors is true but he also was proven to have influenced not reporting it to 2nd mile and to the state police and arresting sandusky......so that blows that out of the water. My opinion of Joepa is forever changed as his rep was built on great character the do it right kind of person to lead young men. That's gone, but it doesn't mean the university shouldn't be able to move on and build what should have been. Pennst deserves punishment and has got that punishment from the ncaa, I just don't think the ncaa had any business or place doing it. IE, they went to clean pennst's house and they can't even clean their own as though they had moral authority. Tell me when the ncaa went to nd, msu or any other campus to investigate sex crimes alleged by athletes? The dept of justice and dept of education are the entities that should have handled this and should have told the ncaa to get out of their way period. On another note, before anyone goes high moral standard about pennst and covering this up, the very reason the laws about reporting sex crimes on any federal funded university, high, middle or elementary school is in the books is because of this very reason. How many times have we heard complaints over the years of colleges sweeping rapes under the rug to keep crime statistics down. That happened at so many places across the country it is disgusting, and just as disgusting as what happened at pennst. Or athletes raping girls and getting away with it and the girls intimidated or forced to leave school for their safety all to protect the program because said player may help them win games. Those are the reasons these laws do exist. But has the ncaa ever investigated one of those that are actually involving student athletes? Never, so a case they had no business in they jumped on for media attention and a 60 million dollar money grab. Yes that money was forced to stay in the state of pa and that was after the state told the ncaa it wasn't allowing that money to go elsewhere as all funds at psu are considered state funds if the university is to pay out money. The ncaa in it's briliance tried to argue it was athletic dept funds not univerisity funds. So you see where their real motive was!
