Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] We never really figured that [Body]

Output: We never really figured that out. I went with "plays as they would on your team" because I think it's more interesting to draft system guys for a system and whatnot. But here in the early rounds it's just a grab for superstars because at the end of 2014 nobody's saying "well if Hackenberg played behind Brian's offensive line..."


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] They have had him for [Body]

Output: They have had him for awhile. He's a tight end. He's awful.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] But we've made that [Body]

Output: But we've made that explanation like 10 times in the last few years. In fact I think I started leading off these posts with "THIS IS NOT A FANTASTY DRAFT IT'S A BIG TEN PREVIEW" last year.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] Every fan of every team makes [Body]

Output: Every fan of every team makes all of these same statements about why their school is better, and totally clean too. Fact is the athletes are picking between heavens. Most campuses are beautiful. Most support staff are top notch. FBS coaches are among the top 200 in their profession. NFL talent comes out of so many schools that which coaches develop a position best has to mean less than what that individual player is made of (not that it doesn't matter, especially w/ quarterbacks). A little something extra makes a big difference because there isn't much difference between schools. As for fans, this site's existence when every other indie team site but 11 Warriors can't support even one blogging career speaks to something unique about Michigan fans' dedication. I have a hard time imagining there could ever be a Grantland for Just Clemson. Depending on what section you sit in though I'm sure you can encounter some pretty quiet old farts in Michigan Stadium. We even have a name for them: Blue hairs.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] Labels man. Ask yourself [Body]

Output: Labels man. Ask yourself this: what do you call a guy who took money from some school then signed with Michigan anyway? Think that never happened with someone on the roster right now? Cut every "cheater" who broke an NCAA rule and there won't be many athletes left. This is why I blame the NCAA first and foremost. Whenever you find a thriving black market for something there's always a shitty someone making the regular market not work.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] In certain cases it's pretty [Body]

Output: In certain cases it's pretty clear. This is one of those cases. Clemson is one of those schools. Be mad at Michigan for not playing the same game as everyone else or be mad at the players who take liquid love over a minor preference in school choice, or be mad at the NCAA which creates all this madness. Pretending it doesn't happen is just naivety for the sake of sanctimony.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 7 hours ago [Title] Let's put it this way, he [Body]

Output: Let's put it this way, he fills a spot in the class after Shane Morris, where we should have taken a qb anyways. Regardless of offense, he has shown more than someone who hasn't played, so it's worth taking the chance on him if you ask me.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Although, I'm sure nice [Body]

Output: Although, I'm sure nice indoor facilities would be nice in the summer/fall camps given how hot and/or humid it is there.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Is this because of his [Body]

Output: Is this because of his transferring or injuries?


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Hayes is currently Committed [Body]

Output: Hayes is currently Committed to USC and I remember reading that he wants to get out of the Midwest. We'll see if Harbaugh can change his mind...


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] I think it is different if [Body]

Output: I think it is different if the local Rutgers "picks sides" with him versus our hiring of him since we only take a couple players from that region in a given year.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] Any insight into why Eason is [Body]

Output: Any insight into why Eason is a Georgia commit? Isn't he from Washington? It seems strange to commit there so early in the process - especially with some of the major pro style schools on the west coast.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Title] As a recruit, Your [Body]

Output: As a recruit, Your essentially betting on harbaugh being able to develop quarterbacks as he has before. If harbaugh is able to make Shane Morris succeed, Michigan instantly becomes top 3 spot for pro style QB and I doubt the QB spot lasts for very long.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I assume you are joking here [Body]

Output: I assume you are joking here because there is a total lack of logic in your comments.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Thanks! Not sure how I missed [Body]

Output: Thanks! Not sure how I missed this and why we turned him down...but I think that is great news!


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Lost a spot to where? [Body]

Output: Lost a spot to where?


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Title] It's pretty common for kids [Body]

Output: It's pretty common for kids to do that on their own. Not to bring up old recruits but Rosen played a huge rule in getting Clark to ucla.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Title] People keep saying the [Body]

Output: People keep saying the weekday thing...but it's an opener so why would that matter? Just starting our season a couple days early.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I'm fine with us being the [Body]

Output: I'm fine with us being the underdog but just because we lost at home last year doesn't mean we can't win this year...we have an entirely different coaching staff and they lost huge parts of their staff. Furthermore, college teams aren't static from year to year roster wise either.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Is Utah typically considered [Body]

Output: Is Utah typically considered to be a tough environment, relative to big 10? Also, the day of the week doesn't really matter because it's the start of the season, so if anything we get more prep the following week.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Each rendition uses different [Body]

Output: Each rendition uses different methods and honestly when you get to a certain point I don't think it matters. With some rankings, we have climbed and with others (us news) we have dropped.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I don't think he graduates [Body]

Output: I don't think he graduates until may/june so I don't think he could.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Title] While I agree that his son [Body]

Output: While I agree that his son wouldn't have gotten the job without being a harbaugh, qc positions for competent nfl franchises aren't a useless position. Hell jerry Montgomery just left the DC position at Oklahoma for a quality control position with the packers.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Title] We are taking one grad [Body]

Output: We are taking one grad transfer this year and another conventional transfer this year too. I have no problem with it. The fact is all of the coaches whining about it would take a job there too. Also, that is pretty much life... There are stepping stones are in every field). Also there are so few D2 guys who can actually make the jump every year it's not really a big issue. Furthermore, shouldn't he be happy? Wouldn't this help his future recruiting?


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Well considering you just [Body]

Output: Well considering you just listed off 2 of her most premier TEs in the nfl...that's a pretty obvious statement. However, you can be very impactful at the college level without being on their level...and I would argue by that metric most TEs would not satisfy those expectations.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 3 days ago [Title] This would surprise me, if [Body]

Output: This would surprise me, if true, thought he would become a DL coach, as that is what some other NCAA DCs who have made the jump have done.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Ok but Mcgary was probably [Body]

Output: Ok but Mcgary was probably someone we could have expected to be an early entry given his recruiting profile. Other teams have early entry too, I just listed that as an example. I'm just saying of all the people who left early under belein, McGary seems to be in the best situation and have the best potential going forward and so I'm sure looking back on it he is glad he declared. I agree the NCAA sucks but it non-uniquely sucks as other teams deal with early entry's too.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 3 days ago [Title] People keep saying "imagine [Body]

Output: People keep saying "imagine we had Mitch" but honestly it looks like he was better off going pro (avoiding risk of injury) and ending up with okc is a great situation - granted the NCAA forced his hand. Furthermore, Anthony Davis would still be a senior now, which is crazy to me, so other teams lose players too. It's the nature (admittedly crappy) of the beast right now.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I think a big thing with [Body]

Output: I think a big thing with respect to harbaugh is that he got his coaching starts at places where his talent evaluation needed to be good and creative. That can only help him now that he is here where he can be more choosy about who to recruit.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Out of curiosity, what do [Body]

Output: Out of curiosity, what do consider an "NFL guy"?


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 3 days ago [Title] What are we up to now? [Body]

Output: What are we up to now?


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I was talking more [Body]

Output: I was talking more theoretically, as in it would be great for players to be in college basketball that long where matchup like that were possible.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Kentucky could currently have [Body]

Output: Kentucky could currently have Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd Gilchrist, marquis Teague, nerlens Noel, Julius randle, James young, in addition to current players like Karl towns, Willey cauley stein, devin booker, trey lyles, and dakari Johnson (that I can think off). It would have been a great game to see.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] On the other hand, teams like [Body]

Output: On the other hand, teams like Kentucky, osu, msu, duke, etc would be pretty good then too. I'm just happy that he was drafted in the first round, is thriving on a competitive team, is part of a great organization, has an ideal role on the team (hustling, rebounding and can grow into larger offensive responsibilities) playing with Durant and Westbrook. Honestly, I'm not sure anything could have really worked out better for him NBA wise even if he would have come back.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Ya, I presume the other [Body]

Output: Ya, I presume the other poster was referring to uncommitted prospects. I find it strange that Eason is committed to Georgia, as he is from the northwest, right? Georgia produced stafford but it's otherwise an intriguing choice for someone not in SEC country, especially after they lost their OC.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Although, the last 2 games [Body]

Output: Although, the last 2 games are evidence suggesting he should have gone pro regardless of the moronic NCAA. He is in an absolutely perfect for him and his skillset in okc.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Who is arguing quantity over [Body]

Output: Who is arguing quantity over quality??? I think the poster was just saying that the coaches seem to think they need to send out 20 or so offers to get 4-5 cb commits. Same 4-5 to ratio seems to be the case for QBs too.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I really hope drake Harris is [Body]

Output: I really hope drake Harris is good to go this year


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I think gentry redshirt but [Body]

Output: I think gentry redshirt but Malzone doesn't. Gentry is the ideal candidate for a redshirt, given his more undeveloped but high potential skillset. Malzone on the other hand is an early enrollee who is much more polished, in my opinion.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] How does this compare to peer [Body]

Output: How does this compare to peer programs out of curiosity? I could see harbaugh only taking 1 qb this year, after grabbing o'korn who makes up for not taking one the year after Shane Morris.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Also surprised that his [Body]

Output: Also surprised that his father would have wanted to pilot a plane again after the first crash. Nevertheless, the real story is regarding Austin's perseverance.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I think our non conference is [Body]

Output: I think our non conference is pretty tough, compared to normal mac type games. I suppose you could say at Utah is a wash with us playing ND but BYU will be a tough game.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I think you could also argue [Body]

Output: I think you could also argue that oos extra tuition compensates for that by reducing the burden on the state, the tax burden on you and the tuition burden on the in state students. In other words, without the ratio of oos students that are currently present, the university would have to recuperate that in some way...that would have to be from the state who would get it from taxpayers or from in state student tuition increases. Oos aren't the deadweight and drain on your taxes that you make them Out to be.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Haha fair enough. I just have [Body]

Output: Haha fair enough. I just have seen that line of argumentation before. That being said, I've been here for undergrad and grad school and don't really think that weather is awful, especially as a student when you likely aren't driving daily and don't have to deal with shoveling etc.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Yes, actually, when it comes [Body]

Output: Yes, actually, when it comes to the football department.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I agree with this approach, [Body]

Output: I agree with this approach, showing that our milder got seasons are more pleasant in exchange for the winters.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I think this argument is [Body]

Output: I think this argument is totally overblown. Alabama, Florida, USC, LSU, Texas, FSU etc have not seemed to have issues sending their players to play in cold nfl cities. For example, Aaron Rodgers was qb at cal and now is qb for the packers who probably play in the coldest place. Also, just because they may end up in a cold place doesn't mean that kids can't postpone that for a few years. Recruits will come here because of harbaugh, the quality of the school, and future success that I hope that we will have going forward -weather be damned.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Honestly, it's something that [Body]

Output: Honestly, it's something that recruits and their families will think about anyways, especially if they are from Cali or Florida. You have to address it...not like she unearthed a previously unnoticed aspect of attending school in Michigan. The fact is there are many players from warm climates that have come here and the staff has to identify why they did so and emphasize those reasons for not letting weather dictate their decision, which I'm sure our staff realizes.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] There are benefits to having [Body]

Output: There are benefits to having oos students as well. They help elevate the national profile of the institution and can help improve the footprint of Michigan if they return to where home is for them. Plus, it's not like your are subsidizing oos students with your taxes, they pay 3x tuition. The premium they pay allows the school to not rely as heavily on the state for funding (helping the state) and indirectly subsidizes the in state students by displacing the tuition burden more greatly on the oos students. Your "taxes" likely proportionally go much more towards institutions that rely on state funding more heavily than u of M does anyways.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Most of the international [Body]

Output: Most of the international students that come here are probably attending private international schools with standardized IB curriculums. Of all the things to be suspect about, I think their aptitude is probably not reasonable. Also, I see that the overall institution is 50/50 but what is the undergrad?


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 5 days ago [Title] This. He ended up in an [Body]

Output: This. He ended up in an awesome situation at OKC and was drafted in the first round - and is doing well now. Honestly, if you we're McGary and you knew that would be the end result he would and should have gone pro anyways, in my opinion.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I believe since he has not [Body]

Output: I believe since he has not enrolled he won't have any restrictions unless osu puts conditions on the release.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Which was? [Body]

Output: Which was?


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] Is there a limit within [Body]

Output: Is there a limit within reason of GAs?


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] Oh you and your facts...most [Body]

Output: Oh you and your facts...most of the board doesn't like those because they replace baseless speculation and doomsday conclusions.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] Some of you guys are never [Body]

Output: Some of you guys are never happy. If harbaugh is trying to make unethical hires...then why would he do it for a player who can only play a year who may not even start next year for Stanford. Seems like a questionable person to do that for. Not like he hired Iman Marshall's mom for example.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 1 day ago [Title] He likely is closest with the [Body]

Output: He likely is closest with the position coach, expects to spend the most time with the position coach and it's the timing of it that has people unhappy. It would, in my opinion, be different if 5 months from now the job was offered, but Meyer and his primary recruiter (rb coach) kept quiet just long enough to bind weber into commiting to osu.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Weber state punter I believe [Body]

Output: Weber state punter I believe as a grad transfer


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Except you have no idea that [Body]

Output: Except you have no idea that gentry was in the dark about it entirely. And it's not analogous at all. Maybe is fisch left Michigan for the nfl again...then yes.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Watch him from 2 years ago to [Body]

Output: Watch him from 2 years ago to see what he can do. At least he has success at the college level too.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Interestingly, that was with [Body]

Output: Interestingly, that was with the previous OC...who is now at TCU. I'm sure harbaugh is looking at some of what he did with the offense too.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 1 day ago [Title] The counterpoint would be [Body]

Output: The counterpoint would be that imagine what harbaugh could do with 4/5* players...some of the later rounders may have gone earlier. Talent can be developed but some talent is innate - some people are just faster, bigger, stronger. That being said, our recruiting class was fine, I'm not sounding any alarms like many people. Next year will be great!


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 2 days ago [Title] As far as I know, he prefers [Body]

Output: As far as I know, he prefers TE but may be a better DE prospect long term. Either way, we have needs at both positions so it doesn't matter.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 2 days ago [Title] But the Stanford TEs were not [Body]

Output: But the Stanford TEs were not elite recruits, they were good player who developed into great ones. No reason to think our system could only thrive with Clark. He chose a school that has no tight ends at all and no te coach based on their promise to use him...hopefully it works out for him! In the mean time, I'm not gonna about it and hope we pick up Tyrone Wheatley jr and we will be fine.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Other thread said he is [Body]

Output: Other thread said he is flipping to Miami, potentially.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Because osu is our primary [Body]

Output: Because osu is our primary rival...and a team that even msu fans dislike. Miami on the other hand produces no shock value or betrayal of Michigan feelings amongst those who are inclined to feel that way.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Umm anyone of those prospects [Body]

Output: Umm anyone of those prospects would make this class more than "salvaged" in my Opinion and getting 2 or more would be a coup.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Mercedes Lewis and Christian [Body]

Output: Mercedes Lewis and Christian fauria (both from ucla) have tweeted Clark throughout the process, so I have no problem with this particular tweet and in this context.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Ok but if you were to [Body]

Output: Ok but if you were to honestly read this board you would think that we were near dead last in the recruiting abyss with Purdue and Indiana.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I was wondering about this as [Body]

Output: I was wondering about this as well. I wonder what the major benefits of moving from Stanford to Michigan is from their perspective though.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Someone we take in a [Body]

Output: Someone we take in a heartbeat. Essentially as good as you could expect for a 5th year transfer, as if he was slightly better he probably would have declared for the draft. Buys harbaugh a year to get some more CBs.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Thread worthy? [Body]

Output: Thread worthy?


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] One could actually make the [Body]

Output: One could actually make the argument that the 5* players who pan out enough to get drafted will be high first round draft picks (due to athletic gifts, visibility), and unlikely to end up on successful teams such as patriots and Seahawks who draft at the bottom of the first round.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] He is a solid possession [Body]

Output: He is a solid possession slot, from my review of his highlight film. Great hands and reminds me of dileo amongst recent Michigan WRs.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Strange that he makes both [Body]

Output: Strange that he makes both those lists but they only rank him a 3*.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I don't see how they are [Body]

Output: I don't see how they are related events, he will have to sit a year and they won't be in the same class.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I wonder if there is anything [Body]

Output: I wonder if there is anything to be said about a greater proportion of kids who are undecided currently liking that style more and maybe the kids who would thrive with harbaughs intensity were more likely to have assertively chosen a school earlier- purely speculative foods for thought.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Ummm what?? He was our commit [Body]

Output: Ummm what?? He was our commit for longer than osu I'm pretty sure...


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] The writing was on the wall [Body]

Output: The writing was on the wall here. He just seemed much more enthused with ucla than he did with us. The big thing I thought we had going for us was harbaugh's utilization of TEs but he didn't seemed bothered by it on twitter, and was responding to other people regarding how the ucla staff has shown them how he will be used.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] It's possible therecruit was [Body]

Output: It's possible therecruit was talking to fisch, drevno, or harbaugh as well. They are above jay in the offensive pecking order.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] That was just baseless [Body]

Output: That was just baseless speculation, based on his proximity, how close we are to nsd and his connection to Malzone.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Ya, I'm not sure where this [Body]

Output: Ya, I'm not sure where this is coming from...


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Mentioned in the other [Body]

Output: Mentioned in the other thread, but If you want to be really optimistic you could guess it to be Williamson as he announces today and maybe he is letting the staff now beforehand. Unlikely, but who knows... More likely is malzones teammate/wr from Brother rice, in my opinion.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] If you want to be really [Body]

Output: If you want to be really optimistic, you could guess it to be Williamson as he announces today and maybe he is letting the staff now beforehand. Unlikely, but who knows...


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Liam video game one was my [Body]

Output: Liam video game one was my favorite


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I think mannings bronco [Body]

Output: I think mannings bronco offenses are far more talented than what Brady has to work with, and with the exception of the year with randy moss more talented than Brady has ever had.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I was surprised they [Body]

Output: I was surprised they cancelled school, looks to be about 6 inches in front of my place near campus.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Title] How do we know what happened [Body]

Output: How do we know what happened exactly yet?


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Any information regarding [Body]

Output: Any information regarding what happened?


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Title] This is actually a trend of a [Body]

Output: This is actually a trend of a lot of the players who were offered. Powerhouse high schools, will pay dividends next year.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Yes, but you also need to [Body]

Output: Yes, but you also need to make sure there is a "clutch" time to worried about. That would be the counter argument.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Osu was the #1 beneficiary of [Body]

Output: Osu was the #1 beneficiary of the psu implosion as well, urban poached those recruits heavily.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] I thought Wheatley was being [Body]

Output: I thought Wheatley was being recruited as a TE based on his time spent with offensive coaches and players on his visit so in that case this wouldn't have any bearing on this decision.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] Unfortunately, this is pretty [Body]

Output: Unfortunately, this is pretty par for the course.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I'm not sure they really end [Body]

Output: I'm not sure they really end up having that much influence, but who knows with teenagers this may really resonate.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I actually think their points [Body]

Output: I actually think their points in this case are reasonable, though. He would be more important to us than them, in my opinion.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I feel like if I was getting [Body]

Output: I feel like if I was getting visited by a coach I would probably wear that teams clothes...wish I could get more excited about that.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Umm I would have rather of [Body]

Output: Umm I would have rather of have them go to Kentucky...


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I don't know how belein found [Body]

Output: I don't know how belein found maar Dawkins and spike, who all essentially had no offers and now have them playing together and competing and playing well (2 as freshman) against an actual big10 opponent. Nothing but praise for the players effort, beleins talent identification, and player development. Yes it would have been great to have booker or so, but all coaches miss out on players. I'm Enjoying the hell out of the teams perseverance.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I'm not sure we are clearly [Body]

Output: I'm not sure we are clearly the superior choice in either case and I'm pretty biased.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Somewhat related, Steve [Body]

Output: Somewhat related, Steve Lorenz reports on twitter that Iman Marshall's father said he would have no problem letting his son go to michigan after meeting harbaugh today, which is crucial given the role his dad plays in his recruitment (in a positive way)!


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I agree with that mostly but [Body]

Output: I agree with that mostly but ucla isn't some totally moribund program, mora has them coming off consecutive 10 win seasons. Different coaches utilize different styles and maybe Clark likes his more. If I were him, I'd pick harbaugh...but I'm biased and for Each their own.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 4 days ago [Title] That's up for debate, but I [Body]

Output: That's up for debate, but I suggest you google uclas campus and the beaches. I've been in Ann Arbor for almost a decade now but have cousins who went to ucla and visited for their graduation and I can honestly say I can't fault students and football players for letting that factor into their decision. I mean just because they are recruits doesn't mean every decision has to be robotic and based only on notions of productivity. I realize most nfl teams are in cold places...but I'm sure that's a bridge he would cross when he gets there. Maybe he feels he is a better fit for for SoCal, the more "chill staff" of mora and that's fine. Harbaugh turned 3 te players into nfl draft picks and none of them had recruiting profiles like Clark, if that and all the other major draws of Michigan football aren't what does it for him then that's fine and harbaugh will be fine and our team will be fine.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 4 days ago [Title] They decommitted during a [Body]

Output: They decommitted during a transition time and there was no guarantee we would have gotten harbaugh. While I would like to think that recruits should commit to the school and not the coaches, that's pretty idealistic and not how it works for most of them. Also, Other schools spots were being filled up as well, and it really did require a harbaugh level hire to raise the confidence of recruits in the program. Imagine what this class would have looked like with a Schiano like hire...


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 4 days ago [Title] How is it a bad thing? I can [Body]

Output: How is it a bad thing? I can only think how this development would be a good thing.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Also, I don't recall Mora's [Body]

Output: Also, I don't recall Mora's team sing their te very much last year or sending many te to the nfl...I think harbaugh oversaw 3 who were drafted in his time at Stanford.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I think, just for curiosity, [Body]

Output: I think, just for curiosity, we could have them as a separate category - perhaps displaying his talent identification/recruiting prowess. I also feel more comfortable with the idea that those players may have had a similar trajectory because the coaches that took over were his assistants and employed the same system.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Pickard and Wheatley are [Body]

Output: Pickard and Wheatley are de/te prospects so we could take them both because they are both at positions of need, whereby one of the guys could be a de and the other could be a te. Clark is elite enough of a prospect where we would make room somehow or hold a place for him.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Andrew luck, maybe? [Body]

Output: Andrew luck, maybe?


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Who do we think is next? [Body]

Output: Who do we think is next?


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Where are you seeing those [Body]

Output: Where are you seeing those height/weights?


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] If hoke had half the hiring [Body]

Output: If hoke had half the hiring track record or coaching success that harbaugh did, then he probably would have been cut some slack for the hire. At the end of the day, I could care less harbaugh hired his son. People act like they know who te coaches routinely are and that they are at the core of the teams success. I guarantee that the majority of the board (at least not before all the front page posts) couldn't have told you who our previous te coach was and what his qualifications were let alone the te coaches from previous coaches. We have jim freaking harbaugh as our coach, I can assure you our program is not at the mercy of his te coach hire.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Woah, you are trying to use [Body]

Output: Woah, you are trying to use logic on this blog...unique and brave soul. Most on here prefer hyperbole and doomsday scenarios. After months of people wanting Harbaugh, I thought the honeymoon period would last longer than a couple weeks...but now focus has shifted to complaining about how we don't have any new commitments and regarding jay harbaughs hire as a te coach. most on here probably couldn't tell you carr or rich rods te coach but I digress.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Jones and gentry seem pretty [Body]

Output: Jones and gentry seem pretty much done deals. I think we get a cb commit too. My guess is 3 this weekend.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] His main offers are michigan, [Body]

Output: His main offers are michigan, msu, Nebraska, and Louisville. So that's pretty solid I would say.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I would argue that the class [Body]

Output: I would argue that the class is not really taking that much time, it has only been 1 week since the dead period ended. I think allowing people at least the time to visit campus once or meet the coaches once is totally fair. I think the class will have 2 or 3 members by this time next week.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Harbaughs tenacity for [Body]

Output: Harbaughs tenacity for recruiting is ridiculous; imagine what intensity he is going to bring to the coaching aspect of it.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] If we switch to a more [Body]

Output: If we switch to a more dedicated 3-4, he could play that olb role perfectly.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Wouldn't the "recruit who [Body]

Output: Wouldn't the "recruit who else was recruiting a guy" part of this mean that he was actually recruiting talented people, because he would be recruiting people from staffs like osu and msu etc


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I believe this thread started [Body]

Output: I believe this thread started before the front page was posted, if that makes a difference.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Jay Harbaugh may relate to [Body]

Output: Jay Harbaugh may relate to him as well, being jim harbaughs son, as he probably has had many of the similar thoughts.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Wouldn't the overthinking be [Body]

Output: Wouldn't the overthinking be in the other direction?? Like weber is coming so he is going elsewhere. Not that I agree with that logic being the explanation just think if weber were to influence his decision it would be in that way.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Has he even met our coaches? [Body]

Output: Has he even met our coaches?


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] He is composite pro qb rank [Body]

Output: He is composite pro qb rank is 8 and Malzone is 13, one of them should emerge. Perhaps a second qb will make Chris Clark more comfortable too.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I think this is a great [Body]

Output: I think this is a great development for us. His dad plays a large role in his recruitment (in a good way) and so having him be able to meet the coaches will go a long way. He is still planning to visit LSU but I think if he does end up leaving Cali and passing up USC it will be for us as opposed to LSU/FSU. My completely arbitrary odds are 80% USC / 20% non-USC.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I have no problem with this, [Body]

Output: I have no problem with this, people Went after our recruits during our transition.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Looks like coach b unearthed [Body]

Output: Looks like coach b unearthed a couple more late pickups who went totally overlooked and who seem like they will exceed expectations by a good margin.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Why do we think he is a long [Body]

Output: Why do we think he is a long shot- not disagreeing but what is that based on?


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Remember though that we [Body]

Output: Remember though that we played osu without frank Clark and it wasn't crippling. I think if harbaugh gets decent qb play next year we could be surprisingly good. Isaac and drake Harris are basically class of 2015 recruits on offense too.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 3 days ago [Title] can't edit on my phone...but [Body]

Output: can't edit on my phone...but looking at osu they also only have 4 defensive coaches with urban being a offensive minded head coach and so I feel like it must be fairly common.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Mattison durkin zordich and [Body]

Output: Mattison durkin zordich and Jackson. Personally I think a 5th on defense would Have been nice because harbaugh is an offensive guy but I have no issue at all With the breakdown of the staff.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I am happy harbaugh isn't [Body]

Output: I am happy harbaugh isn't holding back from any school. Other schools didn't seem To mind poaching our recruits during our transition. Game on.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I think this shows that him [Body]

Output: I think this shows that him and Baxter will have a lot of overlapping duties and that younger harbaugh will have a significant role With watching game film and the subsequent analysis, which is partly why I feel he was hired.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Not that there is any way we [Body]

Output: Not that there is any way we really know but did he have a recurring injury throughout the year or was it just nagging him enough early on where he got behind enough and it wasn't worth burning the redshirt. He is being forgotten by most when we talk about wrs, I think he has great potential and hope he's healthy now.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Ya, just as I was going to [Body]

Output: Ya, just as I was going to award for his efforts during the harbaugh search...he said that and it made me a sceptic again.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Ucla and Michigan have a lot [Body]

Output: Ucla and Michigan have a lot of academic similarities as well. Maybe kids who choose ucla are more likely to be drawn to school aspects regarding Michigan too. Off the Cali schools, where I feel harbaugh has rubbed off the most, ucla seems easier to poach too than USC - in part due to rumors regarding mora and the nfl perhaps.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Michigan is apparentely in [Body]

Output: Michigan is apparentely in contact with current texas QB commit (4*) named Zach Gentry per the twittersphere. Not sure if there is any mutual interest, but it reinforces that Harbaugh really wants a 2nd QB in the class.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Surprisingly, no posters [Body]

Output: Surprisingly, no posters complaining about 3* recruits yet. People really are buying into harbaugh and supporting the efforts much more uniformly than I have seen in almost a decade. Refreshing.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Isn't he currently [Body]

Output: Isn't he currently "committed" to ucla already?


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I hope this is brought up in [Body]

Output: I hope this is brought up in some way to him! Comparatively, TEs will be at the core of harbaughs offense and his TEs have gone on to have nfl success too. Coaching wise...harbaugh is a more successful version of mora. Weather/SoCal and their qb recruit Josh Rosen is pretty much what ucla has going for them.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 5 days ago [Title] already having that coat (as [Body]

Output: already having that coat (as he landed) is a good sign of interest...unless of course each official visitor gets one in which case I rescind my optimism.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Living in Ann Arbor now, [Body]

Output: Living in Ann Arbor now, weather is about as good as you can reasonably expect in January.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I think it may have something [Body]

Output: I think it may have something to do with pre reqs etc and not just grades.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 5 days ago [Title] This. People are [Body]

Output: This. People are underestimating the value of this and how it will be a major part of his role. He excelled in this role for the ravens and will for us too.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Cocaine is a helluva drug [Body]

Output: Cocaine is a helluva drug


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Also, he is at a really [Body]

Output: Also, he is at a really competitive high school in Florida as well that churns out D1 prospects and is highly successful. I assume that means his coaching was pretty solid too, much like mason Cole's was which helped him contribute as a freshman.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I have a weird (totally [Body]

Output: I have a weird (totally unfounded) feeling that levert will come back despite his draft status. To be honest, none of coach b guys have set the league on fire including those who he played with (Burke thjr Glenn stauskas mcgary...not to say that they won't but just they haven't yet) and I think he may end up wanting to get his degree.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I was lucky enough to be able [Body]

Output: I was lucky enough to be able to attend the game. I actually think the close game helped the atmosphere. Also, Harbaugh interacted with the maize rage too which was fun to see.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I can't tell if this is a [Body]

Output: I can't tell if this is a sarcastic remark to the post you are replying to suggesting that we have "only 6" commits and are not in a position to turn a recruit of his caliber down or if you are agreeing with it and saying that he isn't a good prospect.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I agree with the sentiment, [Body]

Output: I agree with the sentiment, but the people who built that reputation and recruited the upperclassmen pivotal to the success now aren't the same ones who offered him, at least I don't think so (Bielema vs Anderson recruits).


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Title] That was a QB committed to [Body]

Output: That was a QB committed to purdue...not osu.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I agree that their qb [Body]

Output: I agree that their qb development is probably a wash but we have no idea where cardale jones would have been drafted or what his success would have been in the pros. Meyers system does seem to really thrive in college but it remains to be seen if it can translate well To the league.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Tom Herman was a key member [Body]

Output: Tom Herman was a key member because he worked for urban Meyer....in a couple years new oc Tim beck will the next key member to take a new job. Expecting any actual drop off is wishful thinking.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 12 hours ago [Title] I think it's more that future [Body]

Output: I think it's more that future Ohio or Michigan versions of mike hart are more likely to end up at Michigan than Texas and SoCal versions of mike hart for a variety of reasons.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 12 hours ago [Title] This is what I was thinking. [Body]

Output: This is what I was thinking. It doesn't matter to me if the effect of drevno is simply due to harbaugh or simply due to him or it is synergistic because we have them both and presumably have recreated the conditions they had at Stanford.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] This may be the case, but I [Body]

Output: This may be the case, but I just feel like if he ends up playing DE he wouldn't interact with his dad at all in football circumstances. Also, it's not like he is getting a nepotistic offer, given that he was also offered by Alabama etc. Also, I think you guys are being a little too dismissive regarding the idea that he would want to be a legacy recruit and be close to home. A vast majority of recruits end up pretty close to home and many recruits and students choose voluntarily to attend schools that family members have gone. I attend a graduate school where many of my classmates have parents who work at the school.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] He has a couple months left [Body]

Output: He has a couple months left in his senior year. Maybe he wants to finish the year out with all his friends etc. Most teenagers, if presented with that option, would take it.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 1 day ago [Title] How would you have rated [Body]

Output: How would you have rated members of the previous staff, prior to their tenures here out of curiosity?


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 1 day ago [Title] What about or strength and [Body]

Output: What about or strength and conditioning coach, he's black as well and probably one of the people who will be most involved with players. How does this compare to other schools like osu and msu - just curious?


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 1 day ago [Title] It seems weird how little has [Body]

Output: It seems weird how little has come out About him and Michigan, given the circumstances. Wish we had an update with him.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I think it's fair for players [Body]

Output: I think it's fair for players to at least want to either visit the school or talk in person to the coaches. I'm sure we will get a commit or 2 out of this next weekend. Too much interest from too many people to not get the ball rolling.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 1 day ago [Title] In our defense, msu has been [Body]

Output: In our defense, msu has been better than pretty much everyone the last 2 years, finishing in the top 5 both times. So there's that. So at least we haven't been alone. However, Harbaugh should get us relevant again and make the big 10 east THE premier college football division in my opinion going forward.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 3 days ago [Title] http://www.ysusports.com/spor [Body]

Output: http://www.ysusports.com/sports/fball/coaches/zordich-mike One thing of note is that he coached at cardinal mooney in ohio and therefore may have connections from that time, as well.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I think harbaugh will be [Body]

Output: I think harbaugh will be heavily involved with play calling as well. So maybe that is why drevno is being given more ol duties.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I think that should show you [Body]

Output: I think that should show you how great of a staff it is, fact was we have got a nfl oc and a previous college oc to come be a position coach for us. Harbaugh has an excellent track record hiring coaches and the fact that fisch is not one of "his guys" actually makes me think he harbaugh sees something in him Enough to pick him over someone he worked with before.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I think the fallacy is that [Body]

Output: I think the fallacy is that urban only could win with the spread. Frankly, behind that line and Elliot they could have run a pro-style Wisconsin style offense and had great success as well. The fact is they were just more talented and far better coached in every part of the game and my personal thoughts are that would have been the case regardless of the system employed.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I don't know for sure but I [Body]

Output: I don't know for sure but I can think of a few..he is at the tail of his career and maybe doesn't want to relocate. He really enjoys it at Michigan. He likes durkin and Harbaugh and doesn't mind being a mentor to durkin who he worked with before. He may want less stress and responsibility with play calling etc and maybe want to focus on things like recruiting more. He has another year on his contract so getting paid would mean he would need to stay and not resign.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I'm sure that things are [Body]

Output: I'm sure that things are "finalized" behind the scenes and those coaches are in contact with recruits. There is probably some lag time from when hires are agreed to and when they make the official announcements, probably some logistical HR type stuff.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 1 day ago [Title] You know we have it good now [Body]

Output: You know we have it good now when the "question marks" are on the offensive side, the side Harbaugh himself will pay more attention too and one that is composed either people he has had success working (most of whom have also had success elsewhere as well) with previously or has hand selected (Wheatley). I know the last 7 years have been tough but there is really nothing at all to complain about or even be worried about with this staff. It is one of the best in college football period.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Both would be absolutely [Body]

Output: Both would be absolutely great hires. I assume this staff will be top 3 in college. Not only is coaching at Michigan appealing but coaching for harbaugh is very appealing, as he has one of the best coaching trees relative to how long he has been coaching.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Agree with much of this but [Body]

Output: Agree with much of this but don't understand how harbaugh gets penalized because he went to the nfl (and did tremendously well) and doesn't have a NCAA championship because he left Stanford at their peak.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I didn't mean to suggest that [Body]

Output: I didn't mean to suggest that all the coaches I listed would be part of the same staff, just that those are the people I had heard were involved with rumors regarding the coaching transition.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 5 days ago [Title] He played football in San [Body]

Output: He played football in San Diego around the same time as harbaugh was there and my guess is that even though they didn't play together, they may have common contacts from then that they are both in touch with.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 5 days ago [Title] You live under a rock if you [Body]

Output: You live under a rock if you don't think Harbaugh's camp doesn't have a clue what the raiders would offer. Legally or illegally per NFL rules, that offer, if it exists, has made its way to Harbaughs agent at the very least. I can't imagine a situation where it has not, and if it hasn't then I don't think the Raiders were serious canidates either from Harbaugh's end or theirs (maybe they didn't want to pay or up or cede GM duties).


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 6 days ago [Title] My pure speculation based [Body]

Output: My pure speculation based logic as to who is contact is... He went to school at univ of Sourh Florida, where the current head football coach is willie taggart, who used be an assistant (as rb coach) under harbaugh at Stanford before Leaving for wku head coach and then usf head coach position. Maybe willie is coming back to reunite with harbaugh?


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Baby steps...in the current [Body]

Output: Baby steps...in the current journalism climate actually speaking to the person you are talking about is almost unheard off given the pissing match of "unnamed sources" that happens on twitter...let alone talks of rational behavior and providing context to substantiate comments.


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Couldn't this just mean that [Body]

Output: Couldn't this just mean that John is saying that the family is not pressuring him into taking it and that any interest that Jim Harbaugh has in the job is his own, which like duh Harbaugh is a grown man. Also, what else is John really going to say...we are all forcing him to go back and coach his alma mater, but his heart is really with the raiders and that decade long rebuilding project...


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm sure narduzzi helps their [Body]

Output: I'm sure narduzzi helps their defense's cause but Dantonio captains that ship. Dantonio has a national title as a DC and is a great DB coach in his own right. I think one thing to keep an eye on is Narduzzi poaching positional coaches... never sure how that works when people leave, is there an unwritten rule on who one could take or offer to come with? It would likely have to be a positional coach getting a promotion.


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Wait are you really sounding [Body]

Output: Wait are you really sounding panic alarms after what could still be an 8-8 season in the most competitive division in the NFL with the defending champ Seahawks who are 11-4 and the cardinals who are also 11-4. I suppose the steelers should let go mike Tomlin after his 8-8 years (last 2 years) or the saints should fire Sean Payton after his at best 7-9 season this year. C'mon man, harbaugh won 36 games in 3 years (only 21 were won in the 3 before he got there) and is the first coach to make it to 3 straight NFC championship games to start his career. Don't insult him by insinuating that he career is smoke and mirrors.


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 3 days ago [Title] A neat thing I noticed about [Body]

Output: A neat thing I noticed about harbaugh is his coaching tree...for only being a NCAA head coach for 7 years he has 3 coaches who were under him who are now head coaches elsewhere. Bodes well for his ability to select staff in my opinion.


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 5 days ago [Title] The owners and gm are morons [Body]

Output: The owners and gm are morons for firing him. The guy has taken them to 3 straight championship games and one Super Bowl. That is like the steelers firing mike Tomlin because he went 8-8 for the past 2 years before being 10-5 again this year. Add in the fact that the 49ers are with the cardinals and Seahawks and one out of 4 years at around .500 isn't that big of a deal. I don't know who they think they can get that is a better hire.


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Couldn't he resign and and [Body]

Output: Couldn't he resign and and then we pay his buyout?


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I guess bad news was a little [Body]

Output: I guess bad news was a little bit harsh. Ultimately what it's going to come down to (as has been the case the entire time) is whether harbaugh wants to coach at u of m or not. Him being fired lowers the odds of that slightly in my opinion because it lowers the threshold for nfl teams getting involved because he could be hired without them having to give up assets in a trade. It also allows him to go to team, if he chooses, that maybe the 49ers wouldn't have wanted to trade him too. Regardless, another week of the waiting game and we will all know!


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I think this is bad news. It [Body]

Output: I think this is bad news. It gives harbaugh access to any nfl job without being depending on a trade. If I was his agent this is what I would want to give him maximal freedom and to collect the buyout as well. Can't believe how bad the 49ers want to get rid of him. One of my best friends is as die hard of a 49ers fan as there is and he doesn't really get the firing off harbaugh and questions who would be a better hire.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I personally don't think [Body]

Output: I personally don't think Harbaugh ends up here, but this is not why I feel that way. No team will trade draft picks for him without him signing an extension...and presumably if he wants to coach at michigan he will have that conversation and turn down the extension rendering the trade pretty pointless.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Similar to blueinwisconsin, [Body]

Output: Similar to blueinwisconsin, these older coaches have likely proven their worth and competency. If they would have been crappy coaches, they probably would not be head coaches in prominent programs anymore.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Understandable, he did miss a [Body]

Output: Understandable, he did miss a big chunk of the offseason including not being able to play on the Europe trip due to injury.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 4 days ago [Title] To early to say, remember [Body]

Output: To early to say, remember that Wilson missed a lot of the offseason due to injury including the Europe trip. And even if he is unable to contribute heavily this year, I don't have any issue with that. Not every Successful player In collegiate basketball displays their full potential in 3 games and I think expectations of players are steep here relatively to what I think is fair. I think belein has earned our trust with respect to player development.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I realize that bob stitt may [Body]

Output: I realize that bob stitt may be an innovator but I can't help to think that I'm missing some of the hype regarding him. His DIVISION II record is 90-57 and his playoff record is only 1-2, over the last 14 years.


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 3 days ago [Title] They have actually played [Body]

Output: They have actually played better than I expected in this game. I think they are a top 25 team, but taking a step back from last year for sure.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I would imagine if Harbaugh [Body]

Output: I would imagine if Harbaugh wants another pro job a better one exists than the Raiders for him.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I'm sure they were stealing [Body]

Output: I'm sure they were stealing the symbols. I watched this last game with someone who used to play on the team and has since graduated, and he could predict certain things (i.e. a specific player would blitz) on multiple occasions based on signals he saw from the Telecast.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] This. But, given where he [Body]

Output: This. But, given where he ended up being drafted, I think I would have told him to go pro even without all the NCAA suspension stuff. He is in a great situation at OKC and was taken reasonably high at 21.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] Out of curiousity, how many [Body]

Output: Out of curiousity, how many of the 4s that played in the big ten were 4+ inches taller than him. The twolves list him at 6-7 and 211 (we listed him at 6-6 / 220). Even if that 6-7 is slightly exaggerated, I'm sure other 4s he played against him were similarly over-exaggerated.


Input: [Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Title] I hate duke. A lot. Just [Body]

Output: I hate duke. A lot. Just pointing out people may have reasons for picking them. We will get ours and we will be good with coach b at the helm.


Input: [Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Title] I know now is the time to get [Body]

Output: I know now is the time to get in jabs against duke but they did win a national title in 2010 and an elite 8 after that too I think. I realize that they have dropped a couple first round games is big upsets but just pointing out that it's not like they haven't had any tournament success in recent memory.


Input: [Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Title] To be fair, Colton Christian [Body]

Output: To be fair, Colton Christian off the top of my head was a similar pickup and didn't pan out. Not saying that that has any bearing here, but I think it's always good to manage expectations slightly. My expectations are roughly 5 minutes a game of high intensity defense to relieve caris.


Input: [Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Title] anybody have any clues as to [Body]

Output: anybody have any clues as to what sam webb was referring to?


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Title] I could somewhat justify it [Body]

Output: I could somewhat justify it if espn needed to break these stories in this way for them To be relevant. The fact is espn has a near monopoly on televised sports coverage and a very significant share of the online coverage too. There is no need for them to do this for them to run. They would still be fine if they waited a day, asked nik if they could report it. Nobody is going to remember in a week that espn was the first one to leak the story. Nik will never get the chance to share the story himself first though. And that sucks for him.


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Title] What benefit is gained from [Body]

Output: What benefit is gained from espn leaking the story? It's not like they are breaking news on a political scandal...they are ruining the kids opportunity to break news on the biggest decision of his life. Espn is a big enough entity where they shouldn't feel they need to get in a pissing match about breaking a draft declaration story. Is there not supposed to be any judgement or discretion involved on their end?

Output: I will be pleasantly surprised if that happens.


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Title] If anyone is having a change [Body]

Output: If anyone is having a change of heart. I'm looking to buy 2 of the 45$ tickets.


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Title] They beat Arizona in the game [Body]

Output: They beat Arizona in the game before. It's not like they beat a chump. Give credit where it is due.


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Title] Why do we hate uconn that [Body]

Output: Why do we hate uconn that much? Their coach Ollie seems reasonable. They beat Sparty. I absolutely despise calipari so I really have no problem rooting for uconn.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Almost fell on his face? He's a perfect fit...a Lesser athlete would've gone down! [Title]

Output: He's a Perfect Fit


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 14 hours ago [Body] Trust me on this - as someone that has visited his friend in about as minimum of a security prison as you can get, it's still Prison. And it's not fun, even in the least bit. [Title]

Output: Prison is not a joke


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 14 hours ago [Body] As someone who has a good friend and business partner that has been in Prison (White Collar, the lowest security you can find) for the past 9 months, I can strongly say that I would not do this. Watching my friend's life, marriage, financial situation and relationships (including the one with myself) be strained and sometimes ruined is not worth the chance for $20MM. Now, give me 10 FREE THROWS and you've got a different story! [Title]

Output: No Way - Would Not Do It


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Body] ...."but in a classy way." That said, Dantonio wouldnt bow down to us, would attack us in any way possible, and luckily for him his results on the field backed it up. I'd like Harbaugh to bring the same intensity to our rivalry with OSU (and MSU) for that matter, and I think he does and will. We got our Mojo back. [Title]

Output: I meant....


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Body] But in a classy way. If Harbaugh brings to the M-OSU rivarly what Dantonio did to ours with MSU, I will be very pleased. [Title]

Output: Very Mark Dantonio-Esque


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I had a nice hookup on Jerseys from Korea a couple years ago - College Jerseys with the name on the back, bought a nice Jalen Rose jersey for like $30 a few years back....but the site is now down. Any chance you can share your Asian Connection? [Title]

Output: China Jerseys?


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 6 days ago [Body] That #4 Brandon Minor Jersey that I bought in 2008 is coming in handy right about now! [Title]

Output: Brand Minor


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 5 hours ago [Body] I actually gained a lot of appreciation or RichRod a few weeks ago. A good friend of mine who went to Arizona (but grew up in AA and is an M fan) went back to Tucson with a bunch of college buddies to see the M - Arizona Game. They honored RichRod's team and Scooby Wright at half time for their great season. Of course, the game was a blowout win for Arizona. The next day my buddy and his friends (who are non M fans) were walking around campus and ran into RichRod. They talked to him for a while and asked him how happy he was about the beating that the AZ BBall team gave Michigan the day prior...his response was something like "Yeah, it was cool to see our boys win but Michigan's coach is my boy" Liked hearing that. [Title]

Output: RichRod = Class


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 1 day ago [Body] The whole Raback thing started one February during the RichRod Days when RichRod was recruiting Florida hard. I believe it was 2010. There was a lot of excitment (both positive and negative) around Demar Dorsey and the type of player that RichRod was recruiting to Michigan. Most people said that we didn't have that much of a chance with Dorsey, even up until the very end - the fact that he is Denard's cousin helped, but most people expected him to stay down south and not make the treck up to Michigan. I at one point said "I have a better chance of fornicating with Megan Fox than Demar coming to Michigan" At the time, I had a brother that went to UofM who had some very good friends on the football team - he lived with three of them. Not star players, but certainly solid contributors who's names are well known to most Michigan observers. He would always give me the inside scoop - and aside from Brandon Smith being a "beast" (LOL,) most of it was true. Anyway, on the eve of commitment day, my brother's friend overheard Denard tell RichRod that his "cousin" was coming....word traveled to me, and of course I made the prophetic prediction that he would commit. Chaos ensued. It was fun to watch though and still to this day I love hearing about "Rabacking it" on this board. Unfortunately the lore of Demar Dorsey at Michigan stopped there - I would've loved to see him in a winged helmet. [Title]

Output: Raback It


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I am pleased that I am still getting props on this board. Thank you. [Title]

Output: Raback It


Input: [Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Body] I was born and raised in Toronto but moved stateside when I was 13 - Still go back to see family 5x a year. Always wondered why Toronto didn't produce much basketball talent and have always wanted Michigan to recruit more in the Toronto area - felt it was a great fit geographically and the name recognition was there. Saw it with Amaker and Jevohn Shepard, but would've loved to see them make it more of a priority. That said, Toronto Basketball is really taking off righ now - the population is there as one of the largest cities in North America. Huge international population as well as a huge Caribbean population as well (most of the residents in Toronto of African Canadian descent are actually from the Islands.) Obviously the Raptors had something to do with it, but it's great to see it happen to my hometown. Toronto is starting to make a name for itself as one of the best basketball factories in North America. Certainly better than Detroit right now, which I used to consider one of the best per capita talent producers in North America. [Title]

Output: Toronto


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] While I think it's an overall good venue for Basketball, it's not a whole tournament/weekend type place. Ford Field would be better IMO. [Title]

Output: I disagree with the Palace


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] The Brand, The BRAND, THE BRAND! [Title]

Output: The Brand!


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] As much as I hate Sterling's comments, and as disgusting as they were, they were made in private to a personal acquiantance. The tape was released without him knowing and surely there was malice involved in the motive for releasing the tape. Nobody is perfect and I am sure that there are many, many people associated with the NBA that have bigger skeletons in their closet than Donald Sterling. Yes, he has a history of being a racist dickbag - this is and was well known to everyone. He is the longest serving owner in the league, yet his racist dickbag-ness throughout the years did not cause any issues for Donald Stern, the media, the players and the rest of the owners. So Yes - I believe that the NBA has opened up a can of worms. The hypocrisy involved in this whole fiasco for this league is ridiculous. Everyone wants to act like a moral tough-guy when the issue is staring them right in the face, but when it's under the blanket and doesn't need to be dealt with, then nobody wants to do anything. This was merely a PR move for the NBA, nothing more. It was going to hurt the revenue and was merely a business decision. [Title]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Body] I'm the last guy to make escuses for a college scholarship athlete doing stupid things, certainly because I believe that Rules are Rules and that the scholarship and playing in the program is a privilege, not a right.....but this is ridiculous. A college kid smoked weed....and it nets a 1 year ban? The mist hypocritical organization in sports. [Title]

Output: This is Ridiculous


Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Body] Because people told me that it was an amazing place and I HAD to go there while I was out east. I wasn't expecting Gourmet, but I was certainly expecting something on par or better than a place like 5 guys. Side by side, I think 5 guys wins hands down. I would say Halo Burger is even better. [Title]

Output: I expected a lot


Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Body] Just don't think they differentiate themselves really from any other greasy burger joint. On a side note, I had my first "In N Out" experience last week in San Diego....not sure if it was what I ordered, but what's all the fuss about? I was thoroughly unimpressed. [Title]

Output: Hunter House is OK


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] And the program caught it before the leaugue did, which allowed them to suspend him without having to dilvulge the reason. This is the only logical explanation - If it were a crime he committed, I could only see Dantonio suspending him for something serious when there's a Rose Bowl at stake. There was no documentation of any criminal matter anywhere, so it doesnt appear that a crime was committed. If Dantonio would've allowed him to play after a failed PED test, or if the league caught it, then the team and program's reputation would've been questioned. Suspending him was necessary and was the right thing to do. [Title]

Output: He Tested Positive for Steroids


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] But count me as someone who thought that he did a poor job representing the program. I give him the benefit of the doubt because in the end he was just a kid (a big one at that,) but his maturity was lacking. Best of luck to him and hope that he is a better ambassador for the school in the NFL. [Title]

Output: I wish him the best


Input: [Date] 1 year 24 weeks ago [Body] Elijah Cunningham to look like that. [Title]

Output: Did not expect


Input: [Date] 1 year 24 weeks ago [Body] I'm torn on Mitch McGary on coming out. On the one hand, he hasn't really played all that much in his career, so coming back - especially due to the stacked draft class this year, should be a good thing. He can really establish himself with a good year next year. On the other hand, he is old in terms of NBA Draftees. Additionally, if he came back next year and injured his back AGAIN - he would be really screwed. I think he has the toughest choice of all. [Title]

Output: Mitch McGary


Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Body] I am a lifelong michigan fan and graduate. Love our school and athletic programs, esp football. I always can keep my head up high through the ups and downs.... Through The Horror, 3-9, losing to Sparty etc, I could always stay positive, stick up for my school and have a rebuttal for all the shit talkers. I cannot today. I am very embarrassed and ashamed of our school, athletic director and coaches. I can't and won't argue how it happened, who knew, if he did what he was accused of etc, but I will say that it was flat out handled terribly and wrong. Bottom line. I am ashamed to call myself a Michigan fan and will absolutely have no rebuttal for anyone that criticizes the program regarding this. It is absolutely absurd and frankly makes me sick. No excuses. Sounds like the high horse just got a lot lighter with the "Michigan Man" on it. [Title]

Output: Embarrassed and Ashamed


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] I will go on record as saying that I have always liked their program throughout the years. Despite Valenti being somewhat of an MSU fanboy, I felt he was always fair in his criticism and his praise when it came to MSU and UofM. He's always been good radio and entertaining to listen to. Having said that, something happened over the past 18-24 months that changed things - perhaps it's MSU's rise in football which has given him the confidence to really come out as fanboy, because he is over the top in his picking, criticism and antagonization of UofM - - to the point where it's obvious and really bad radio. He's definitely in Drew Sharp territory. I know that they do that type of stuff to get ratings, but it's "jumped the shark" in my mind - to the point that they have lost a level headed, fair and balanced listener who used to enjoy their show. It's been an obvious decline over the past couple years that has really gotten me. [Title]

Output: Valenti & Foster


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] Not to temper everyone's excitement, but I specifically remember this exact same topic being asked about 12 months ago when Lewan announced he was coming back. Just playing devil's advocate here. But overall, I am happy with the move to fire Borges and hire the New OC. Although I dont know much about him, any guy that spent his last two years at Bama is fine with me. [Title]

Output: Taylor Lewan


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] Sucking up I am not - I would never do that to any rival, let alone Sparty. But give credit where credit is due? Sure.....sure, our program is light years in accolades and reputation ahead of theres. But at some point you are what you put on the field - Sparty has had a nice run the past few years, and have steamrolled us several times in the process. Not much you can say against that right now. [Title]

Output: Thank You


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] I am a big college football fan, but far from an insider or knowledgable football IQ guy. Having said that, I have always liked Charlie Strong very much - what little I do know about him says to me that he is an excellent hire not just for them, but for any program. Weird that they would say this, but realistically who would they be happy with? Anyone less than Saban or Lombardi would probably be viewed as a step down in their eyes. Best of luck Charlie. [Title]

Output: Yikes


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] Look, I can't stand MSU just as much as the next guy, and certainly cannot stand their football fans, especially during this recent run of success - But can we temper the "LOL Sparty" stuff a little bit? They just completed a dream season, one that we would've killed for, and ended up a meaningless #3 other than a meaningless #2 - the difference in one spot isn't going to kill their program, I am sure of that. Attitudes like that towards Michigan State is a trait that is one major reason why many others, as well as myself, cannot stand our own fan base. Let's pat them on the back, congratulate and push forward to better times when the tables turn back in our favor. [Title]

Output: LOL @ Sparty?


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Body] I actually like it. [Title]

Output: Well played sir, well played.


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Body] While I would still like to get and keep the toprecruits out there, I've seen more than enough top recruits flame out/turn into busts and lowly rated recruits turn into stars to not really care anymore. We're lucky enough that even in the worst case scenario, the recruits that we can attract here are much better than most programs can attain. At this point it's about getting good players that fit our system and building depth so Freshmen are Reshirted, dont hit the field until at earliest their RS Sophomore year and winning games. That's how you build programs - I hate to say it, but MSU is a great example of this. Depth at every position on the field and in turn the cream of the crop rises to the top of the depth chart.r [Title]

Output: Whatever...I'm over it.


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] Are absolutely Effing amazing. Best wings I've had - like them much better than anything else (non - mom/pop) available. [Title]

Output: Kookaburra Wings


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] But let's concentrate on getting to campus first and doing your thing on the field and in the classroom Jabrill! [Title]

Output: Love the Enthusiasm


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] I got the meteor headed right for Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday! That's who I'm pulling for1 [Title]

Output: Who Ya Got?


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] Plus an extremely exorbitant (hey, they gotta make money) StubHub Fee and 4.95 download fee. It appears that I may have overpaid, but honestly I dont give a flying $uck - it'll be well worth it when we wipe the field with Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes. All you chicken little, bandwagon fans can stay home. I'm not letting this stadium be full of scarlet and grey, no matter how dissatisfied I am with the way the season has gone. [Title]

Output: Bought Mine Yesterday for $95/Each


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Body] Hoke was loved by all after his first season, now his head is on the chopping block. Give the guy two more seasons - He needs to see a recruiting cycle through. I'm not in love with what he's done on the field this year, but I like the youth that we have in the ranks and am confident they will get it together. Under the same "knee jerk" reaction, Bielien would've been gone as well - No Big Ten Championship, No Final Four, and no Trey Burke. [Title]

Output: We are in the world of Knee Jerk Reactions


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Body] Look, I'm obviously not happy with the way our season has turned out - but all you chicken littles calling for the coaches head need to back off. It takes time to build depth and the type of team that Hoke is going to build. The "highly ranked recruits" that we all talk about are only Sophomores at best, in a sport where redshirt Sophomores at the earliest should really even see the field. Look, I'm the last person to be happy with what we're seeing - but give it time. This is a mediocre season. It's his third year, which is the toughest to suceed in for a new coach. Bielien's third season saw a 15-17 record, and at the time I remember telling my friends about how he needed to go - how'd that work out? He brought us to a Big Ten Championship the year after and then a Final Four the one after that. The team is looking solid this year and it's pretty apparent that our BBall Program is re-established. It sucks to see OSU and MSU do so well - but let's give our staff time, they will get us to a Big Ten Championship and a Rose Bowl soon enough. Heck, I remember after Mark Dantonio's third season at MSU (a 6-7 Campaign, I might add,) my MSU friends were calling for his head and saying the needed to "FIRE NARDUZZI." How'd that work out? Urban will take a step back next year - he was the recipient of a strong roster and a good schedule the past two years. Don't want to take anything away from him since he hasn't lost a game, but it is what it is. Give these guys time - we have a ton of depth returning next year. The team WILL be very good next year. 2014 and 2015 will be telling, but I fully expect to win a Big Ten Championship in one of the two, or both - and compete in both years. Let's not lose patience guys.........his best recruiting classes were his 2nd and 3rd, and they are only Freshmen and Sophomores. [Title]

Output: You Guys are All Fucking Idiots


Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Body] Background - Royal Oak resident, sports fan, but not necessarily a huge Detroit sports fan. I'm not originally from Detroit so don't have the affinity to the home team, but have lived in the region for 10+ years so I've followed very closely. Both Cabrera and Megatron are obviously once in a lifetime talents at their sports - we may never see that type of caliber of player again in our time. Having said that, I give the nod to CJ as a stronger "Detroit Sports Icon" IF the Lions continue to make noise and Win. As good as Cabrera is, I dont get the feeling around town that he is as endeared and as appreciated as his skill set and accomplishments should warrant.....Mainly because of the language barrier. There really isn't a whole lot of marketing and star power there. As a City with a rather nominal hispanic population (as far as large cities are concerned) he doesn't really relate to the local populace on a personal level. Additionally, I feel that previous legal problems hurt his marketability and likability in this town. Just my two cents, mostly based on just being around Detroit and the general sports scene. He's a great player and certainly appreciated and cheered, but as far as a "Detroit Icon," I'm not so sure. He's definitely not the type of personality that most Detroiters can relate to. I would personally give Verlander the nod over Cabrera as the Tigers most beloved player here locally. Having said that, I feel that both Megatron and Stafford can overtake them if they can continue to put the Lions in the spotlight and in the W column. [Title]

Output: Weird Question..But here's my take


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Body] You guys are all morons - She has a strong future nationally in my opinion. [Title]

Output: She's a smart girl and a solid reporter


Input: [Date] 1 year 49 weeks ago [Body] My Girflriend's younger brother is special needs and requires similar care to what is described in the article about Bryan's brother. Prior to meeting her I was rather callous and uncomfortable around those with special needs - The past few years of dating her have been very eye opening to me as a person and have change me. More importantly, however, watching someone take care of a loved one like that makes you very appreciative of them as a person and is really telling about the type of person they are. Real Talk. I will definitely be rooting for Bryan both on and off the field - he has immediately skyrocketed to one of my favorite people in this program. [Title]

Output: Bryan Mone


Input: [Date] 2 years 3 weeks ago [Body] Plug in the bottom 5 is wack too. Eastern is where coaches go to do - mad props to him for taking the job in the first place. They are literally in the bottom 3 d1 programs and I can see some players preferring A few d2 schools. Didn't he get bowl eligible there too? Obviously this list maker knows nothing, except that Hoke is near the top ten. [Title]

Output: The Ron English


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Body] that the top recruits have told to not go and chase waterfalls. We should be in good shape because they should stick to the rivers and lakes that they are used to. [Title]

Output: Good thing for us


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Body] This video is a perfect example of why he just was not the right fit for our program. Initially I thought he would be best served by landing down south somewhere, but it looks like AZ is going to be a good fit for him. Gotta give it to the guy, he finally found a place that embraces doing weird shit like this. [Title]

Output: I love RichRod


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Body] I'm a huge fan of networking and being aggressive. Dont take No for an answer - but even if it is No, keep in touch with that person and make sure to see if they have any other potential opportunities for you. You will be fine and step into a role in which you will thrive, just keep on husting hard. Best of Luck. [Title]

Output: Networking and Be Aggressive


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Baltimore has some very, very rough parts - so does Detroit. But Baltimore does benefit a bit more from some nicer, wealthier parts as well. [Title]

Output: Splitting Hairs


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Body] Detroit is very bad. So is Baltimore. But overally, Batlimore is nicer - it has a better downtown and the inner harbor is something Detroit doesn't even come close to matching. A lot more wealth in Baltimore, both city and metro.......and no, there are no parts of BMore that would make the Detroit slums look like Disneyland. That is laughable. [Title]

Output: Been to both place extensively


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Body] I won't get into tooo much of a political argument, but it seems that from this article, "Business Insider" is similar to the Bleacher Report. A Crane with the city's skyline/river behind it? Yeah, that's Windsor...not even the same country. Strong leadership? Sorry buddy, Kilpatrick was only part of the problem - and not even a large part of it. Detroit's inept and corrupt leadership was here decades before Kilpatrick was having stripper parties. Crime is waning? Not sure where this is coming from...unless you want to look at the fact that Detroit has been bleeding population since 2003, which might account for something. Good sports teams and a Triple Crown Winner? Sounds like the #1 thing that would bring a City on it's feet. Great point, Business Insider. Don't get me wrong - I love what's going on Downtown, and I'm relatively bullish on the Metro Area - but this list is a sham, and the City of Detroit's problems are massive. They certainly aren't corrected by Justin Verlander pitching a no-no. [Title]

Output: LOL


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] Next Question [Title]

Output: No


Input: [Date] 2 years 12 weeks ago [Body] Than Borges got him against OSU last year. Who woulda thought he'd be dangerous with the ball in his hands. [Title]

Output: That's more touches


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Body] Lets not let this past Final Four run cloud our judgement and basically make us MSU Football fans. Izzo is and will remain one of the top 5 coaches in te country. His track record speaks for itself and his teams are consistent contenders to go deep in the tourney every year. This class is void of big names because it is small and they did indeed go all in on Parker. Say what you want, but Izzo IS going to make another serious FF run before his career is over and his team next year will most likely be a national title contender, possibly favorite if KY doesn't have something to say about it. Our program is in the rise, no doubt - but lets not act like Izzo is on a significant down trend or anything. He is getting up there and may have lost a little magic, but still a top coach who will continue to field good teams. [Title]

Output: C'mon guys


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Body] Just using common sense - and I certainly wouldn't thump my chest if I predicted correctly that Trey was going to the league. It's not like I'm going out on a limb. As far as signing bonuses are concerned - admittedly I don't know much about rookie NBA contracts, or NBA contracts in general. But I DO know that NBA first rounders get paid a lot of money, waay more than 99 percent of those who graduate with a UofM degree and have years and years of tenure and experience in their field. These days a bachelors degree is worth about as much as the paper it's printed on (maybe a stretch, but not a huge one) and I seriously doubt Trey's degree would be in a specialized field with high demand and pay (no disrespect to him, just using my common sense.) Unless Alro Steel saw something in Trey that they absolutely loved and wanted to make him a super well paid employee right of the bat, he wouldn't be able make a small fraction of what he would in the league. That, and that whole getting paid millions to play basketball and realize your childhood dream thing. He gone. [Title]

Output: Not making a prediction


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Body] He is going to the NBA. I would be absolutely shocked if he stayed. He deserves everything he gets and frankly unless he was dead set on staying 2 more years to get a degree, it would be stupid for him to stay. Even then, his signing bonus would be much, much more than he'd probably make in 20 years with his degree. Dude is gone - he did us well and he deserves to be in the league. It helps is tremendously if he goes high and succeeds. [Title]

Output: He ain't staying guys


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Body] My shit giving level for anything OSU related is at an all time low today. Looking forward to tonight a great deal. [Title]

Output: Agreed


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Body] But I could really care less if Webber is in the stands, and I am getting annoyed by Jalen pushing the issue. I love Jalen and think he's a decent (Decent..not great) ambassador for our University, but I would prefer if the Fab Five not be a huge story tonight. I care much more about guys like Zack Novak, Stu Douglass, Manny Harris, CJ Lee etc. being in the stands than I do Webber. Either way it's about the 5+ guys on the court wearing maize tonight. [Title]

Output: Maybe I'm in the minority


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] And I will tell you for sure. Leaning towards it now. [Title]

Output: Ask Me Next Tuesday


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] We are in the Final Four. I am very happy and have watched Burke's shot 12x today. Will hate it come football season though. [Title]

Output: Feel bad for Russell, but..


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Can I bet on this somewhere? I was would SHOCKED if he didn't win it. [Title]

Output: 100 Percent


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Call me a scrooge, or maybe it's because I'm not Irish, but I never really got the fascination with St. Patty's Day. The fact that I've seen some people (even established adults) actually take the day off of work to wake up early and wait in line to get trashed from Green Beer all day just blows my mind. I mean, why St. Patty's Day and not another holiday like President's Day, for example. To each his own, I guess, but I'm just not understanding the whole fascination. [Title]

Output: Call me a scrooge, or maybe


Input: [Date] 2 years 29 weeks ago [Body] Personally I don't think you can get much more value from them - If you stay up to date with this site and listed to Sam Webb you should be good. I agree with the smugness - not a fan of really any paysite contributor. I was a member of Rivals during the coaching search and found that most of their info regarding the search was very wrong. [Title]

Output: Not a Fan of Any Pay Sites


Input: [Date] 2 years 29 weeks ago [Body] Both DeShawn and Manny would start for this team. I love this team and they are great, but are you nuts? [Title]

Output: Absolutely They Would


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Body] Getting embarassed in Jerryworld for the whole country to see doesn't excite me either. Borges is a terrible big game coach. [Title]

Output: Oh yeah


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Body] While losing to 2/3 rivals, and watching them go undefeated, is not a good season. Sorry if I'm a downer. Am proud and always will be proud of our players and coaches, but I expect a lot more than 8-4. Am happy with what Hoke has done so far, but I think Borges' lack of knowing how to use Denard really hurt us. Held us back Big time. [Title]

Output: 8-4


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Body] Who was so amazed that there was a bar called "BraylonFest" that I just googled it. Well done. [Title]

Output: Yes, I am that Guy


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Body] That there will be many unlucky kids in some Rio Favela that will be wearing Scarlet and Gray. [Title]

Output: Unfortunate


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Body] Good teams win games. Saying that they could've beaten Notre Dame, or we should have, completely ignores the fact that we could have also lost to NW & MSU. That's not the way it works - the team with the most points at the end of the game wins, bottom line. [Title]

Output: I Agree - But We Didn't


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Body] I have recently been flabbergasted at everyone's insinuation that OSU will kill Michigan...and that has been mostly from MSU fans here in the Detroit area. Look at who we've played, and look at who they've played. Yes, you get points for winning every game on your schedule, because you can only beat who you play.....But does anyone think that OSU would've beat Alabama or ND in South Bend? Should be a great game, and hopefully the start of another 10 Year War. [Title]

Output: Thanks for the Update


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] Is having a great year - yes. But let's not assume that "we missed out" just because it looks likely he'll play for a NC. Just because a Coach is having the typ of year he is having, doesn't necessarily mean that he is head and shoulders above everyone else. Sometimes in College Football the chips fall properly and you get lucky - it's true for every team. Sometimes they don't, and your record reflects that you are not that good, even though you might be. Look at Gene Chizik - Dude won a NC in his first year at Auburn, now he's on the chopping block. I think Kelly is a good Coach because he has a track record of winning elsewhere. You can say that for a lot of Coaches - Hoke and Dantonio included. But just because Kelly is staring down the barrell of the NC Game doesn't mean he's necessarily better than Hoke or Dantonio, for example. I think all are good Coaches, although I'm partial to Hoke - partly because he is OUR coach, but also because you can visibly see that he is a good coach from our product on the field. There are only a handful of Coaches that I would put in a class by themselves, or perhaps even only two - They are Nick Saban and Bill Snyder. [Title]

Output: Brian Kelly


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] On another subject - Just curious as I was randonly thinking about this recently. What happened to the missing UofM student back in April/May? I forget his name (Brice Something?) and remember maybe it had something to do with him leaving on his own. Any updates on that? I understand "respect his privacy" and everything, but that was all over the news and I would like to know what happened? [Title]

Output: Hopefully he is Safe


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] And like he said, it's "23 other guys last game at Michigan." They all put in work, just like Denard. We all love Denard and everything he's done for the program, but he's no more important than the Senior who has spent 5 years on Scout team. I'm sure Denard will tell you the same thing. [Title]

Output: Because he is the Coach of all team members


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] You can do it now, as long as the other team agrees and it is approved. Michigan would be able to wear blue if it was agreed. [Title]

Output: No


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] Yes, I will be that guy. Like I said all day yesterday to my friends, I think Devin is a better Quarterback than Denard. I think that he has better QB instincts and brings more to the table physically as a QB due to his height etc. Do I think he should start over Denard if Denard is healthy moving forward? No. I think Denard gives us a better chance to win right now due to his experience. But I REALLY wish the staff would've had the foresight and switched their roles on the team, i.e., groomed Devin for the starting spot this year (or even last) and put Denard in a WR/RB/Percy Harvin type role. Would've loved to see that. Just my .02 - I might be wrong and I acknowledge that, but love what Devin brings to the table and am excited for next year. [Title]

Output: I Will Be That Guy


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Why do you guys have to be so god damn nice? I would much rather have another rival that I can hate personally. Good luck too. Hope you lose. [Title]

Output: Nebraska Fans


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Honey Badger loves himself some weed. I'm not gonna argue for or against it, but honestly - how does this kid keep on getting caught? [Title]

Output: Damn!


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Body] God forbid for them he should come back alive. Lol [Title]

Output: They're glad Bo is still dead?


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Troy is straight right now. [Title]

Output: Troy is OK as of about an hour ago


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Body] To you [Title]

Output: Respect


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Europeans are generally lazy and take long vacations, so I'm very surprised that you aren't able to take this off. [Title]

Output: Very Surprising


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Wit this Parolee and Convicted Felon at MSU crap? Last time I checked we've got a few on our team too. Let's just hate them for what they are - Michigan State Spartans. #GlassHouses [Title]

Output: Can We Quit


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Body] I'm past the stage of worrying about recruits. Michigan will always recruit well - losing a player here or there is not going to kill this program. Hoke and Co. are building a dynasty here. Just think - guy's like Jake Ryan and Des Morgan were about as heralded as me coming out of High School. Michigan will be strong. [Title]

Output: While It Sucks


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Body] Would be a huge get for MSU, and it is looking like it will happen. He's really down primarily to Duke and MSU, with distance being a factor as he wants to play in front of his family. Unless something groundbreaking (literally) happens in the next few months, East Lansing is closer to Chicago than Durham, so it's looking like MSU is the team to beat here. Parker's supposedly the best HS recruit since Lebron James, so that is saying something. Definitely has immediate pro potential. Also, from what I hear, he's a solid kid too. Would suck to see him in Green and White. [Title]

Output: Parker
