I would hope that the number of transfers would be minimal or even zero, but that never seems to be the case in these situations.

Input: [Date] 41 weeks 1 day ago [Title] It seems that Hoke wanted [Body]

Output: It seems that Hoke wanted them to throw instead of punt. I think I agree. Bad things can happen on a punt return. You could try to be aggressive and go for the block, but you could end up roughing the punter which would give them a 1st down with time still remaining on the clock. You could try to set up a return, but a muffed punt ends in almost guaranteed points for Penn State. Alternatively, you force them into trying a Hail Mary. The bad thing you're worried about here is a TD. Anything underneath is pointless because there is no time left. From the spot on the field they were, and their offenses proven inability to protect the quarterback, there was very little chance of that being executed properly by PSU. However, it is one more chance for your DL. This might be a case of Hoke's DL mindset taking over. He's basically avoiding the most risk averse decision (letting the clock run out) to give his DL one more chance to make a play.

Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Body] In the show, Stannis wouldn't do it as he's been characterized. Like even ignoring the moral calculus and the whole his brother rebelled against exactly this kind of nonsense things, the one redeeming feature they've given Stannis is that he loves Shireen. AND even ignoring that, he's a stickler for the rule of law and he just created a succession crisis in the case that he wins, because HE HAS NO HEIRS. This plot is so stupid, which is a bigger sin than the whole "expect the very worst thing to always happen on this show (except to Dany who will get bailed out by dragons)." [Title]

Output: In the show, Stannis wouldn't


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 days ago [Body] This is relatively simplistic view of what happened to the middle class. A lot went into it. Trade deals certainly, changing tax policies, decaying infrastructure, reduced union representation, the rise of the service economy, most things requiring a college degree at the same time tuition costs skyrocketed putting people behind for owning a home etc, rising medical costs, and I think swinging the benefit packages more towards the high end is naturally going to lower the amount available for the average worker. Lots of contributors. Another problem that is related to the plight of the middle class is the sort of general decline of meritocracy, where a multiple failure like Dave Brandon keeps failing upwards into positions of power. There was always a good ole boy network but it seems to me there's a general lack of accountability if you're powerful enough (politicians and bankers being the obvious examples here). Agree on short sightedness being a major problem. As for the political point. I think reducing that to a purely partisan thing is mistaken. I agree more with say, Warren Buffett than Charles Koch, but I don't want either of them to be able to finance entire presidential campaigns. It limits access and what viewpoints politicians hear, and that's a problem and yeah, that subverts democracy and replaces it with plutocracy. Also populism is not strictly left or right wing, it's just populism. It's an appeal to the masses that they're not getting a fair deal because of those other people. The other in question could be business interests (usually lefty), academia (right), or more toxic insinuations (the famous Atwater quote). That's all populism. [Title]

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] We played pretty poorly and barely lost to an extremely good team that's defending their national championship. Loosen up and believe they can win like they did the last two innings and we're in solid shape. Hopefully Wagner starts and continues to dominate. [Title]

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] No, it's not. With nobody out if you're not sure it's defensible to stay. She should have seen the SS's back and been sure so it was a mistake. With 1 out you go 100%. With nobody out you can play it a little safe and count on Sweet to put the ball in play. Also, we should credit the Florida shortstop with a very good play. Susalla hit that ball hard. [Title]

The only other one explicitly mentioned on the show (I think) is Heartsbane, which is the Tarly family sword. Sam's dad thought he was too much of a coward to ever wield it which is why he got sent to the Walll. DVD extras mentioned a couple others. They're basically family heirlooms that most of the prominent Westerosi families have. Except the Lannisters, who lost theirs because one of Tywin's ancestors went to investigate the Doom and never returned. So they stole Ice and melted it down. [Title]

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Brienne's wandering is about two things, which are related (and a third thing, probably): 1) Just how awful the War of the Five Kings was for the smallfolk 2) Establishing why the Sparrows are suddenly a big movement with enough power to basically seize control of the church and then imprison the Queen and Queen Mother. and 3, probably) Show us the Hound is still alive and part of the movement towards the Faith. It shouldn't surprise anyone if he's the Faith's champion against Zombie Gregor and finally gets to resolve his whole arc. Or die horribly freeing Cersei, depending on how the Giants did when Martin was writing that section of Winds. [Title]

Output: Brienne's wandering is about

And as not a huge fan of this season + casting news indicating they're going back for a bunch of plots from AFFC/ADWD that they ignored this year like the Greyjoys and the Kingsmoot and Victarion's fleet, the show is as well. But more importantly, Septon Meribald is getting cast, so that's pretty awesome. [Title]

Both are true statements. But of the QB's listed Brady might have had the most help of any of those guys for most of his career. Elite defenses for the first half of his career, one of the best coaches of all time, his best year included maybe the most physically gifted wr of all time, etc. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 days 1 hour ago [Body] Always a great way to land a recruit when it is because osu doesn't care because they think they can get better players but whatever he seems good so I'll be happy if he ends up here. Peoples-Jones is about as close to a must get as any recruit could ever be. In-state 5 star who is probably a top 10 player in the country with two parents who went to Michigan at a position of extreme need where early playing time isn't a bad sign. If he goes anywhere else it is a problem. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 week 2 hours ago [Body] Shocking that the pre-season national championship favorite would be the most talented team in an otherwise shitty conference. OSU might take like 5 players from the rest of the conference combined as starters. They probably have the most talented player at every position on the field in the big ten. Doesn't mean we can't beat them, but they are the better team on paper and most likely in reality also. [Title]

Output: Shocking that the pre-season


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] Man people are getting so salty about this. They had hundreds of things on sale over the course of the day including some desirable stuff over 50% off. Sure things sold out but that is because they had a lot of people interested. They sold more stuff than black friday so clearly enough people found things they liked. It also caused walmart and bestbuy to also put things on sale, between those 3 places you could get most items on sale for most of the day. How is that bad? Amazon never has and never will do a 20% off everything sale and anyone expecting that was bound to be disspaointed. Prime is an amazing deal between the free movies and free 2 day shipping plus random deals throughout the year. Not sure why people are so upset at Amazon for including things like diapers in their sale rather than just putting up fun toys. If you were stocking a kitchen or had a baby yesterday was great. Not every sale is about getting a new tv. [Title]

Output: Man people are getting so


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] That tweet is a stupid response. No way is saying UA is a threat to Nike next year. UA barely existed when current high school seniors were born so Nike still being liked better isn't shocking. But UA's growth has been pretty big and they are just entering the shoe market now and have Steph Curry to market it. They also have Spieth signed to a 10 year contract in golf as well and a bunch of baseball players including Bryce Harper. They've done a really good job of getting in on big young stars for marketing purposes and that will pay dividends. Plus with Notre Dame, Auburn, South Carolina, Maryland, Northwestern, etc they have a pretty good toe hold in college athletics for being a still young company. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 23 hours ago [Body] Thats not really true for graduate schools. In state tuition (as in just straight tuition) at michigan $26,367 for in state $27,867 for out of state. You save a whopping $1,500 a year. Harvard on the other hand is $57,200 so going to public school over private might make financial sense. As far as I can tell Georgia in state is a litte over $19,000 for in state. My guess is people aren't making the decision to stay in state in Georgia vs going to Michigan because of $7,000 a year but maybe I am wrong. [Title]

Florida and Texas A&M are also in the top 25 of pulbic schools (which is all that really matters here, if it was strict academic rankings, Stanford, Duke, Northwestern etc would be top 10).

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Maryland basketball has one of the largest arenas in the country, has the largest student section in the country, is in one of the best recruiting parts of the country and has a top 15 program history. Sure they aren't great at football but Maryland adds a lot of value on the basketball side. Maryland sports also won 7 big ten championships this year, the most of any school. Maryland is also located in the 4th largest metro area in the country (Baltimore/DC), is a well respected research institution, has access to the library of congress, etc. The only reason Maryland was a bad addition is if the only thing you care about is football. I just think its funny that people love the Nebraska addition when literally the only positive thing they bring is football. [Title]

Output: Maryland basketball has one


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Body] How is using sling tv an argument right now? People who argue that unbundling will cost more are projecting that the landscape will change as well. When unbundling does occur netlfix will either cost a lot more, cease to exist, or only have seasons that are old on it because stations will get more propietary and host things exclusively on their websites for their subscribers. Same thing with hulu. Sling tv exists in the current market, nothing about its pricing model is helpful for determining how much ESPN would cost in an unbundled world because ESPN doesn't need to charge sling tv customers $30 to remain viable in the current market.

Sports teams make a city feel nice, they aren't actually drivers of economic growth and now the city has millions of dollars to spend on other things rather than a stadium. Seattle's economy is doing just fine without the sonics, so yes not spending millions to keep them with a project with no roi was the right call. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Title] MRI's - devils advocate [Body]

Output: Brian - I wish you well with the ACL surgery, if/when it should happan down the road, and good luck with the rehab. There is a difference in who you see in terms of specialist for the confidence in clinical exam and ordering expesive imaging studies. A good orthopedist can feel an ACL tear with his knee exam better, because he does the exam more frequently and has a better reference experience. Whereas, a primary care FP or internist will have less frequent experience in doing the knee exam, because he dealing with a wider range of patients with different problems. If everyone got an MRI for any knee injury, the waiting time for MRI scans would much longer, and the costs much higher, since you would be scanning alot of normal knees. Moral of the story, if you are worried about the knee, get thee to an orthopod first, since he will be more likely to pick up an abnormality on physical exam, and you can rest assured he will get the scan done in timely fashion. I agree about going to St. Joe's vs. UM, despite having trained at UM for medicine, St. Joe's has a lot more equipment capacity for its size. UM is using its MRI scanners alot of different purposes. I know this sounds wishy-washy, but it it is reasonable standard of care.

Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Another view [Body]

Output: While this interpretation does not follow computer algorithms, Michigan's drop in the rankings may have something to do with not covering the betting spread, which was 8.5 - 9.5 points. So Michigan won, but not convincingly and OSU appeared stronger than Nebraska, which Michigan beat handily the previous week. I wonder how many judge pundits use a method involving cover - not cover record, instead of win- loss ratio. I would have to go back to records to compare MIchigan record, but they have had some close games. If nothing else, our punter needs some practice catching snaps.

Output: Most cancers of the pancreas are an carcinoma cell type and have a dismal prognosis. Steve Jobs had an islet cell cancer of the pancreas, which overproduced a gut hormone like glucagon or insulin. And is not so quickly lethal. Sad to hear about his death, since he has been such power influence in all our lives. It is ironic to think th web began on NeXT computer at CERN


Input: [Date] 3 years 43 weeks ago [Title] Polls are fine for the moment!But the real reward is in the path [Body]

Output: Good polls are more a symbol of expectations. For me, the pathway to Big 10 championship is more enticing. While every Big 10 game is valuable, I think most people are waiting for four key games: 1) MSU game - to determine bragging rights for the state of Michigan, 2)Nebraska game - not very popular, but beating Nebraska is essential to winning the Legends division. 3) the Ohio game - it just feels good to make Jim Tressel eat his words. 4) If we can pull it all together - Big 10 championship game in Indianapolis - probably playing Wisconsin, unless they make a mistake. Also the Illinois game will be interesting after the triple overtime win last year. Go Blue!


Input: [Date] 3 years 46 weeks ago [Title] Stay Hungry - indeed! [Body]

Output: It's good to know that Michigan got noticed by coaches and journalists after the Notre Dame game, since ND has a potent offense, when they are not using it to shoot themselves in the foot. I will be happy for MIchigan to linger at this rank for the next three games. While I respect SDSU they are not seriously considered by pundits, and it will give Michigan fans a chance to see what we might look like on offense and defense in a couple years. While I like EMU as a small college, it is a couple quantum leaps from the Big Ten, and it will serve to only expose any glaring deficiencies and a chance for the offense to recover from the ND and build their confidence until they meet a Big 10 oppenent. Northwestern without Dan Persa should obviously be less a threat on offense than with him, but I would like to see us play NW with Dan Persa in order to develop our defense. MSU is the first serious opponent in the Big 10 that would earn us a leap in respect amongst others and ourselves. I am tired of losing to MSU the last three years, and our defense needs to show us they can handle Kirk Cousins and Edwin Baker effectively. It can serve to show the defense, where we can meet the challenge, and out of respect to MSU, Kirk Cousins and Baker will be more popular in the NFL draft someday, when they met a strong Michigan team - win or lose. Minnesota has not been traditionally a serious threat, and right now, I hope Coach Kill gets well soon. Right now - 4 B1G 10 teams are in the top 25 - Wisconsin, Nebraska, MSU and Ohio, and three other teams have received votes - Michigan, Northwestern, and Penn State. I would like to see 6 B1G 10 teams in the top 25 sometime this year, if the football gods deem them worthy, I wish a restful and quite 9/11 to all!


Input: [Date] 3 years 46 weeks ago [Title] Love the muppets! [Body]

Output: You can never have too much muppets! Rest now until next week. Watching Michigan football can be strenuous!


Input: [Date] 3 years 46 weeks ago [Title] Fine Review! [Body]

Output: Fine Review from UFR as always! I would be interested in a chart looking at Denard's performance during the first half, when conditions were relatively dry versus the second half (quarter), when conditions were decidedly wetter. Perhaps it would be worthwhile diving that second half into two periods, one before the first lightening delay and the second afterwards - granted, the numbers are small, but Denard seemed to be more inaccurate during the wet conditions. I will nitpick about one video - where you attempt to demonstrate a run by Toussaint for 11 yards, but it actually shows WMU offensive play for several yards againsts Michigan's defense. You can find the correct video further up the page, but it would be nice if you could fix it.


Input: [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Well done scrimmage review ! [Body]

Output: Not that we would expect anything less. If only we could bring GERG Robinson back to coach the scout team for the defense, it might raise morale for the scrimmage! But fantasies aside, punting should be less valuable against Western Michigan. Against Notre Dame, I would hope a little trickery would not be out of character. One begins to appreciate Tate Forcier's ability to pooch kick on demand. I would not expect many cards of strategy to shown during the Western Michigan game; instead, just establishing fundamentals. See Denard run, See Denard pass and complete, see Denard fake run and pass, see Denard hand off to Shaw and run. A boring west coast pro offense for Denard would be a good change of pace. As for the defense - can we get some magic dust to activate Will Campbell as a pass rusher and run tackler. Just a thought!


Input: [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Block M looks great! [Body]

Output: Looking forward to the HD capable scoreboards for big, awesome highlights and replays. Glad to see all the work come to fruition on time!


Input: [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Good Luck Tony! [Body]

Output: Sorry to hear he is transferring. If weight is a problem, hope he gets in better shape. He sounds very talented and should do well elsewhere! Sorry to hear about Tim and TomVH leaving - when is the mgoblog draft?


Input: [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Thanks Tom! [Body]

Output: Thanks for all your hard work and insight! Looking forward to your posts over at ESPN! Go Blue!


Input: [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Title] fine view from Section 20! [Body]

Output: I've always been partial to section 20 around row 40, where I have had the privilege to sit and watch Michigan footballs for a long while. That is the virtue of Michigan stadium - having a decent view of the field almost anyplace!


Input: [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Sorry to see a good receiver go! [Body]

Output: There are times when I would appreciate something more informative than a few terse lines, that only announce the departure of a former team member. I wish Jeron Stokes my best, and hope he lands on his feet someplace else. In the meantime, I hope everything is okay on State street.


Input: [Date] 3 years 48 weeks ago [Title] a tough road to hoe - [Body]

Output: Speaking as a physician, who has gone down this road - the first two years are usually preclinical sciences, which are done in blocks with exams for current subjects all occurring on the same day. See the michigan medical school site for the schedule of subjects. I welcome Heiko to the site, but he will be quite busy with preclinical subjects of study for the next two years. Depending on his subject for his Ph.D. additional coursework may be required, not to mention time in the lab and library. Note to Brian - I hope you will keep an open mind as to other volunteer pundits. Mgoblog readers have come to expect in-depth posts with a quantitative, statistical flavor. Your paternalistic tone is not unexpected, but I think you find in the clinic as well in real life, it is not lightly received. Not that you should go out and hire Greg Robinson for witty defensive commentary, since we probably are glad to be done with him. As to USMLE exams, there are three parts to the USMLE - which begins with step 1 usually at the end of the first two years, testing the preclinical sciences. Prior to 1994, there were two sets of medical boards - NBME and FLEX, which had slightly different schedules of exams. I look forward to your commentary and your insights.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] Respect JoePa's privacy please [Body]

Output: As a physician, I wish you wouldn't post an x-ray image, that seems to insinuate the nature of JoePa's injuries. He seems to be doing quite well in terms of function. I wish him all the best in terms of a speedy recovery. Let us be thankful for all his efforts as Penn State's coach.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 day ago [Title] from a different era perhaps OT [Body]

Output: As a member from that earlier era from the 1970's, I remember that when I rowed crew, which is no less physically demanding than football, we had and still do have freshman crews for the first year and then varsity crews thereafter. Football also had a freshman team and varsity/JV teams but only the varsity played on saturday. Often the freshman teams would scrimmage unofficially, but that was held elsewhere. I think having a freshman year of ineligibility would be good, if done consistently throughout the NCAA, not just within select conferences. For lineman and defensive players, the freshman year allows the player's body to mature and develop with weight training. The respective squad can begin to learn the playbooks, so they can be effective the next year, and no make so many rookie mistakes. I don't think you need to increase the number of scholarships, so long as things are done consistently. Also, watching the freshman games might be extra source of minor revenue, especially for major rivalries, as a sign of what is to come in the future.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Title] It's probably wiser for RichRod to Caddy than actually play golf [Body]

Output: Consider all the kibitzers, who would jump on any poor shot or error Rich Rod could make. I just hope his friend has a decent day playing golf. Also no TinCup moments, such as breaking a golf iron over his knee, or refusing to lay up for a green surrounded by bunkers or water. I know it is Rich Rod is in season for punditry, but I do wish him well, since he did bring UM Football Denard Robinson and an exciting offense to watch the last couple years. I just wish he had picked a better defensive coordinator and recruited better for the defense.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Title] Kind of reminds me of Larry Bird playing at Indiana State! [Body]

Output: Hoosiers can be quite loyal to Indiana, and it does not suprise me that Gunnar Kiel stays withing state. If he does well there, he might end up at the Indianapolis Colts for the NFL. Remember Bob Griese many years ago went to Purdue and helped lead them to the Rose Bowl and Big 10 Championships. I don't remember anytime recently when IU has been a factor for the Big 10 championship in football. No doubt recently IU has been a lower tier team for football, but perhaps Kiel's early commitment to IU will attract other good talent there. Recently, the lower tier of the Big 10 has included IU, Purdue, and Minnesota, and perhaps Illinois. It would be nice for the Big 10, if everyone could raise their quality of game, and perhaps change the current pecking order. Maybe OSU will be more humble, if they have poor recruiting season the next couple years, and thus lose some of their smugness. Also I would love to see Indiana beat Notre Dame!


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Title] slightly OT - who attends the BBQ at the Big House? [Body]

Output: Slightly OT - I was curious who attends the BBQ at the Big House? Presumably, it is a private affair, but in addtion to michigan football staff, possibly current football players and committed and potential recruits, do any other michigan staff or journalists or general public attend? My simple google searchs don't reveal any images or videos immediately available. Are any public photos released? I assume recruits arrive at Schembechler Hall and then walk over to stadium via the practice field and possibly the locker room. There is presumably some michigan security to prevent unwanted guests. Just curious, and trying to put things in context.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 days ago [Title] oops, my mistake! [Body]

Output: Sorry for mistaking SJSU for SDSU, my fault!


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 days ago [Title] glad to see him find a new program! [Body]

Output: Too bad he has to sit out one year per NCAA rules, it would have been interesting to see play against Michigan this year. Despite his flakiness in recent past, I think still has good potential as a QB, and hope he can turn his career around at SDSU.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 days ago [Title] Next questions- national anthem [Body]

Output: Given that Terrelle Pryor's stock value and eligibility for the NFL supplemental draft seems in doubt, the next question will be for 2011-2012, will Pryor need to sing the USA national anthem, i.e. the Star Spangled Banner, or the Canadian national anthem, i.e. O' Canada.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 days ago [Title] My pregame ritual [Body]

Output: Brunch/Breakfast at Zingerman's. A stroll down to Sam's Store for the bandana of the day. Walk down Hill Street and State Street to check out the frat's. Drumline show is great, when there is time. check out the new commemorative bricks. Say a prayer for Maize 'n Blue, then head on in to find our seats and check out pregame warm-ups. Please ignore the other side until it matters!


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] Sigh! [Body]

Output: Let's get this petulant nostalgia behind us. I would be interested in ten years to hear from Coaches Mattison and Hoke about the scene that they found. However, confidence and other intangibles make a big difference, and GERG seems to be on the short end of the stick there. Let us look forward to better times and brighter fortunes. No comment on the music, Mr. Misopogen, but far be it for me to rain on your parade. Cheers and good luck!


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Addendum - no malware warnings on mobile Safari [Body]

Output: P.S. - No malware warnings on my iPodTouch with mobile Safari with iOS version 4.2.1 - Not sure if they access the google malware database. While Safari, Firefox and Chrome all use Webkit on Mac OS X, this does not seem like a Webkit bug, rather a Google malware database effect.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Safari too! [Body]

Output: I am getting malware warnings on mgoblog.com with Safari 4.1.3 with mac OS X 10.4.11 on old iMac LCD with PowerPC G4 chip. Since I don't have an intel chip, I threw caution to the win and turned off the warning and posted here. I get similar warnings with Safari on Mac OS X 10.6.8 with intel chips. When you click through the warning to Google entry for the mgoblog.com site, it seems benign. good luck!


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Vacate wins vs. Vacate points [Body]

Output: I don't buy Mandel's argument that vacating the 2010 wins for OSU is sufficient. While Jim Tressel may have made a critical judgement error, several OSU players should have ineligible for the Michigan game and the Sugar Bowl. While rewriting game history might seem strange, if you are going to vacate the win, why not vacate the points and other statistics related to the ineligible players, especially T. Pryor. T. Pryor has been flagrant in his disregard to NCAA rules, selling memorabilia, and then dropping out from his senior year, and run off to the NFL, assuming some team will pick him in the supplemental draft. While punishing OSU probably should include a post-season ban for a couple seasons and the loss of several scholarships. I would think some direct penalties involving the players involved is warranted.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] 2012 will be better, but play it cool! [Body]

Output: Not worried about ESPN's rating. Middle of the pack or better is fine for the first year with Coach Hoke. It is a rebuilding first year. The defense has a long way to go, given recent history. I am not worried about the offense, but they will need to adjust to the new style. Now if we can just rely on kicker to score the occasional field goal. That would be a good change. That would taste great, and be less filled with ambivalence.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] worthy memory for a classy guy [Body]

Output: great idea to remember Lloyd Carr!


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] For the ignorant among us, [Body]

Output: For the ignorant among us, why is his commitment announcement now slightly awkward?


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 1 day ago [Title] You have to add Neil Young's [Body]

Output: You have to add Neil Young's guitar playing to the positive side, but there's a strong case to be made that his voice cancels out most of that goodwill. And let's not forget about the Bare Naked Ladies that Canada subjected us too. It would be so much better if there were no capital letters there...


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] This was my first thought [Body]

Output: This was my first thought too. Might have nothing to do with trying to appease fans, just making the most out of home field advantage. Either way, I love it.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Well, at least we can lay to [Body]

Output: Well, at least we can lay to rest any argument about whether or not there is a god now.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I don't think the argument is [Body]

Output: I don't think the argument is against paying CEOs of major corporations this kind of money. It's against paying Dave Brandon, a tone-deaf megalomaniac, that kind of money


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 days ago [Title] You the mean the five hookers [Body]

Output: You the mean the five hookers that Craig James ALLEGEDLY killed while at SMU? Because it hasn't been proven the Craig James killed five hookers at SMU; it has only been alleged that Craig James killed five hookers at SMU.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] and can we safely assume the [Body]

Output: and can we safely assume the eponymous drew is the one and only drew sharp, a low-level spawn of satan?

Output: Didn't that all get used up during the battle of black water?

Output: It's not crop dusting if you're standing still


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 11 hours ago [Title] I was raised a Notre Dame [Body]

Output: I was raised a Notre Dame fan. Does that count as child abuse??


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] Have to be BBQ sauce, [Body]

Output: Have to be BBQ sauce, probably Sweet Baby Ray's. While there are certianly better BBQ sauces there, if I'm only having one condiment the rest of my life, I think this provides the best combinations of versatility and quality.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Title] then uh... why are you [Body]

Output: then uh... why are you wasting your time here? surely there are classier venues for an upstanding citizen such as yourself to spend your time.

Output: I, for one, would like to encourage you to 1) keep drinking and 2) keep posting. Let's see where this takes us!

Output: unfortunatley, it will probably be the victim and her family who are afraid to step out of their apartments


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 5 days ago [Title] while burke was certainly in [Body]

Output: while burke was certainly in possession of a good deal of grit, it paled in comparison to his other attributes. i think in this context grit almost has to imply a lack of raw talent that trey had in spades. now excuse me while i go watch highlights of the kansas game for the ~400th time.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 6 days ago [Title] pretty sure most of the guys [Body]

Output: pretty sure most of the guys on here would be totally ok with getting beat up by her since that would imply being in the same room as her.

Output: Go back to that hellhole chop nation or whatever you call it. F.A.M.I.L.Y. L.O.L.


Input: [Date] 5 hours 28 min ago [Title] Compared to last year, I feel [Body]

Output: Compared to last year, I feel like we're killing it. Instead of hearing about a decommit every weekend, it's nice to hear that we are in it for some very good commits.


Input: [Date] 5 hours 37 min ago [Title] Brandon Brown had a post [Body]

Output: Brandon Brown had a post about it on Rivals a couple days ago. We're in it for like 4-5 TEs.


Input: [Date] 5 hours 37 min ago [Title] You're such a ridiculous [Body]

Output: You're such a ridiculous pessimist. Harbaugh hasn't even played a game yet, relax.


Input: [Date] 5 hours 39 min ago [Title] Got it, thanks. Then you can [Body]

Output: Got it, thanks. Then you can ignore my replies where I tried to correct that.

Output: On a scale of 1-10 (10 being most important), this news that he can't find a ride is like a 1. So carry on with your life and we'll wake you up when the season starts.


Input: [Date] 5 hours 51 min ago [Title] Since you're OP, you should [Body]

Output: Since you're OP, you should really edit the OP to say that Pop never planned on coming to the BBQ this weekend anyway so there was no change. Half of the posts and replies on this thread were made to clear that up.


Input: [Date] 5 hours 58 min ago [Title] Except that Pop has said 100 [Body]

Output: Except that Pop has said 100 times that he doesn't give an F about who he has to compete with.


Input: [Date] 5 hours 59 min ago [Title] Lol this bro Franz Sherbert [Body]

Output: Lol this bro Franz Sherbert is negging all of my posts because I don't agree with him that Pop is going to FSU now. Even about K-BBQ. Relax bro. You're being petty.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 4 min ago [Title] It's a Brandonism. Relax. [Body]

Output: It's a Brandonism. Relax.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 5 min ago [Title] He did not blow off Michigan [Body]

Output: He did not blow off Michigan because he was never planning on visiting this weekend.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 6 min ago [Title] Yes, that's right. He was [Body]

Output: Yes, that's right. He was always planning on visiting FSU and ASU. He is just doing his FSU trip earlier. He never planned to come to the BBQ and so there is no change there. He did 2 unofficials to Michigan on his own dime and he is going to come again on an official.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 7 min ago [Title] Stop making stuff up. He did [Body]

Output: Stop making stuff up. He did not abandon his plans to attend the BBQ. He never said he was going to attend the BBQ. He visited twice already on his own dime.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 9 min ago [Title] Oh, we lost 10% of our [Body]

Output: Oh, we lost 10% of our Crystal Balls. Give me a break. There are months left to this recruitment and Harbaugh isn't going to throw his hands in the air and surrender like you.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 11 min ago [Title] We had a 10% loss of Crystal [Body]

Output: We had a 10% loss of Crystal Balls. Go cry me a river.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 12 min ago [Title] No, there has not. You are [Body]

Output: No, there has not. You are obviously a 2% milk guy. Jay and Jim Harbaugh have this. He going to get Nauta and Pop now.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 15 min ago [Title] It's Jersey. There are ten [Body]

Output: It's Jersey. There are ten million Korean BBQ places better than that one.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 16 min ago [Title] Dude, let me tell you about [Body]

Output: Dude, let me tell you about Jersey. Paramus is in Bergen county at the most tip top northern end. Egg Harbor/Atlantic City is in the very bottom right. They are like 3 hours apart and you would use different interstates to go west anyway so it makes no sense for them to ride together. It's like saying some dude from Detroit is going to carpool with someone from the UP.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 18 min ago [Title] Lot of borderline [Body]

Output: Lot of borderline bandwagoners who hop on and off based on hype. I thought the last few years would thin the crowd, but I guess not.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 20 min ago [Title] OK, he can't get a ride, so [Body]

Output: OK, he can't get a ride, so now that means Michigan is down in the dumps. Fire everyone. /s Get a grip. Michigan is killing it dude. We finished 5-7 last year and we are recruiting like we went 10-2. Harbaugh gonna use Peppers 3 ways in 4 dimensions and kicking ass in 5 languages. If you're for us, you're for us. Haters can get out of the way.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 23 min ago [Title] WHy would you think he [Body]

Output: WHy would you think he doesn't want to be at Michigan? He did not cancel a Michigan trip, he only scheduled a FSU visit that he was planning to do anyway. He's not even committed, so he can go on visits if he wants to. So you are saying that you only want to get recruits who have never visited another school. Come on.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 24 min ago [Title] His announcement date was [Body]

Output: His announcement date was cancelled weeks ago. He does not control the CB's. THose change based on the recruiting analysts who have probably not even talked to Pop about this. You obviously haven't been following his recruitment at all. FSU and ASU have always been in the mix and FSU was the top competitor with Michigan the whole way. He is great friends with Nauta and that was one of the strong points of FSU that he could play with Nauta. You are not pointing out any real points as you are claiming, but rather, you are stating falsities and trying to pass them off as truth, when you haven't even paid attention to his recruitment.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 28 min ago [Title] First of all, he has always [Body]

Output: First of all, he has always said Michigan and FSU were his top two. So you haven't been paying attention at all. He actually said that playing with Nauta was a positive about FSU.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 31 min ago [Title] His coach will really be Jim [Body]

Output: His coach will really be Jim Harbaugh and Fisch. Jay Harbaugh is the point man, but I'm sure Jim will be active in the coaching.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 32 min ago [Title] If you can't emotionally [Body]

Output: If you can't emotionally handle recruiting, then get a different hobby. Try baking or fly fishing. Jeez. We're talking about kids picking where they go to college. Relax. It's not the end of the world.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 33 min ago [Title] The OP is misleading because [Body]

Output: The OP is misleading because Upshur wasn't even planning on attending the BBQ this weekend. THerefore, it's not like he cancelled the Michigan trip to go to FSU. The only new development is that he is visiting FSU next week instead of October. So basically, he will go down to Florida in the hottest and wettest month of the year. That would make me want to never go back.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 38 min ago [Title] Quit drinking and go to bed. [Body]

Output: Quit drinking and go to bed.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 40 min ago [Title] This is kind of a silly [Body]

Output: This is kind of a silly post. Summary: 1. No change in Pop's visit schedule to Michigan. 2. He is taking a trip to FSU that he was going to take anyway. It's going to be his first time there, but he's already been to Michigan a couple times. 3. There is still a long time until his commitment. So that leads OP to say PANIC!! Seems like you are applying your own pessimistic lens to the facts at hand.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Body] i think it would have to be something along the lines of leaving your feet to launch at the other player would be a good determining factor. that plus leading with your head and aiming directly at the opposing player's face. if they went back to actually tackling instead of trying to make EPSN's highlight reel with a big hit, there would be a lot less ambiguity about the call. it would be harder to call it a hit on a defenseless player if you're wrapping your arms around for a tackle rather than just trying to blow the guy up.

Go Blue always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Title] All This Bitchin!!!! [Body]

Output: I don't say much as you can see, although I have been around for a couple of years and this year is the worst I have ever seen some of the fans react to anything to do with Michigan Football and AD Brandon. All I see is a bunch of whimpering, "supposed" fans doing nothing but putting down anything to do with the programs, student atheletes, coaches, administrators, you name it, if it can be bitched about you will do it. I don't see you out there everyday busting your butt for the program like everyone I mentioned does, so why doesn't everyone just maybe grow up and act like you may have gotten an education at UofM and they may have actually taught you something about manners, respect, responsibility, dignity, perseverence and how to grow up. I would have given anything to attend UofM but there happened to be a war on at the time I got out of school and I ended up going into the service and making a 24 year career out of it and evidently I learned a lot more about growing up and respect than if I would have attened Uof M from the looks of it. I do not like the way the football program is now either but give the kids a chance to grow up into the type of players the team needs to represent the university and you. I have to say that I don't believe there is anyone on this board that is bitching, that could do a better job at the present. Hopefully there will be some changes made, but we will have to wait and see. In the meantime why don't you support the team and the university that you profess to love so much!!!!!!!! End of sermen!


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

Output: Sorry, but I never got that impression from Brandon when I was following the search. I don't think he felt Harbaugh was the one to pursue so he never really did and besides we all knew Harbaugh wanted to go to the next level. I felt Hoke was great from the get go! Anytime you can get someone that wants a job as bad as he did, you know you will get complete devotion to it! I used to hire less qualified employees over other qualified people because they showed me they wanted the position more and they always turned out to be good hires. AS far as I am concerned I don't ever need to hear the names of Miles and Harbaugh brought up again concerning the head coaching position at Michigan, they didn't want it and it showed!!!!!!!


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Just Keep Going! [Body]

Output: I thought the same thing about the offense at the beginning of last year keeping Denard from running, until I read a couple of interviews by Brady and Al stating that Denard always had the option to run if he could make it a positive play. But Denard was still learning how to differentiate when he should go and when he shouldn't, so there was some hesitation to run until later in the season when he felt comfortable and understood the offense more. I don't think we will see too much of this indecision this year, having run the offense for a full season and becoming comfortable and more understanding of what he and it is trying to do, at least I sure hope we don't.


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Eric Dickerson wasn't too bad! [Body]

Output: Eric Dickerson (6'3", 220 lbs) wasn't too bad a running back for SMU and in the NFL for the Rams, Colts, Raiders and Falcons, only went to pro bowl 6 times, 4 times NFL rushing champion, 2105 yards rushing in a season, seventh leading rusher all time and NFL Hall of Fame. So all in all, the upright running style doesn't mean he can't be good or even great because that is the way Dickerson ran and he was a really good back! He was drafted in 1983, Round 1, pick #2 by the Rams and had a career of 10 years. So I would be in favor of getting Ty Issac if at all possible, just might turn out to be an Eric Dickerson type player, who knows?


Input: [Date] 4 years 22 weeks ago [Title] I for one wanted Hoke [Body]

Output: I for one wanted Hoke even before Harbaugh and Miles, just because he wanted to be at Michigan. Harbaugh had all along, given the impression to me since the RR hire, that he would never be interested in coaching at Michigan. And why would Miles leave LSU, he doesn't bleed "Maze and Blue" anymore! I have faith in Hoke and to sit here today and say RR would have won "x" amount of games this year or Hoke is going to win "x" amount is not even relevent as we will never know, will we? I supported RR all along and thought maybe he might be the "guy" but after we started playing the "big boys" in the conference I knew it wasn't going to work. So, he needed to go since I didn't see him as wanting to change his philosophy about defense, especially! I think "M" should win more than last year because there will finally be a semblance of a defense on the field. And as many people have stated, a much more mature and experienced returning almost intact, offense. I just hope we can let the past 3 years be the past and move into the present and future. No one knows if Hoke will be the answer but at least the guy wants to be here as well as his staff, and he does bleed "Maze and Blue". Hoke and his staff seem to be very good in the recruiting effort so far and seem to me that they are offering kids from all over the country, besides trying to win the battle at home! Go Blue!


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Hire Hoke Now [Body]

Output: I agree with UMxWolverines that DB should just go ahead and hire Hoke now and get on with life. Hoke evidently bleeds maze n blue and really wants to coach Michgan football when there appears to be alot of popular coaches that don't want anything to do with the program. At least Hoke will bring enthusiasm, dedication and put his all into making Michigan a great program again. I can't see how he won't be good for Michigan? I say give him a chance! One can't be a great football coach without getting the chance to prove themselves, just like someone at work that wants to advance their position. The Harbough boat has sunk and besides, why go after a guy and offer him the world to coach at Michigan when he evidently has no desire to do so. Even if DB would have made a better offer than anyone else, we would end up with a great coach, but not fully dedicated to Michigan, and most likely always thinking about someplace else in the future. I think Hoke is respected by his present and former players, assistant coaches, admin and student bodies, so where is the downside to hire a guy that has turned two programs around? He didn't just get off the turnip wagon to do this. Just my thoughts on the whole coaching fiasco. By the way, I think RR had to go. I was for giving him another year until the PS game and ever since, and the bowl game was absolutely disgusting to watch. Thanks for providing a place for me to post my two cents on the subject.

Input: [Date] 35 weeks 6 days ago [Body] First, why would you want to take a flyer on an NFL guy who doesn't have a college pedigree? Especially after what we have been through the last seven years. Secondly, the likelihood of John leaving the NFL is slim [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 day 1 hour ago [Title] So so true. The D has been [Body]

Output: So so true. The D has been solid but far from elite. Elite defenses carry the team. Our defense was good enough to win but far from elite. I do however think it has the chance to take another step towards elite this season. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 1 day 1 hour ago [Title] Seriously. I don't understand [Body]

Output: Seriously. I don't understand why people can't comprehend what the Tigers are doing. All the players are free agents at the end of the year and the Tigers can't compete. The only rational move was to trade them for something of value. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 1 day 18 hours ago [Title] 7-5 [Body]

Output: with a toss up bowl game at the end. I'm obviously hoping for better but the offense could be brutal.


Input: [Date] 1 day 22 hours ago [Title] I was never that high on Towns [Body]

Input: [Date] 3 days 19 hours ago [Title] He definitely fits the mold of a Belien recruit [Body]

Output: which is obviuously not a bad thing. It is still pretty irksome, however, the way the Battle thing played out. I think we need more top end talent if we are ever going to reach another final four beyond this year.

Input: [Date] 1 week 16 hours ago [Title] Seriously? I love Jim and [Body]

Output: Seriously? I love Jim and thank God he is our coach but Harbaugh has one major bowl win and no championships in any sport. Meyer and Saban have accomplished WAY more as college head coaches and they have their programs rolling. Hell, even Dantonio has accomplished way more as a college coach than Harbaugh.

Input: [Date] 1 week 20 hours ago [Title] This is so true [Body]

Output: we are now hyper analyzing film being run at super duper slow mo speeds like its the Zapruder film. What happened to common sense judgement of what a catch looks like. The Calvin Johnson and Dez Bryant TD were two of the worst examples.


Input: [Date] 1 week 20 hours ago [Title] I don't get the bit about the Nebraska players skin color [Body]

Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] There were lots of reasons [Body]

Output: There were lots of reasons for Mitch to go to Michigan not the least of which being 2 of his best friends were on the team. You are comparing apples to hand grenades. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] Good question [Body]

Output: Personally I am more optomistic about success on the basketball court, but I am more enthusiastic about seeing an improved football team under Harbaugh. Football has just been so depressing lately the breath of fresh air will be most welcome. In terms of success however, I am guessing that basketball finishes higher in the B1G standings and national polls than football.

Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] Hard to say. They all have [Body]

Output: Hard to say. They all have shown signs and they all have reasons to doubt that they will emerge as above average starters. At least we now have a staff that I trust can develop them and use them correctly. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
