Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] I don't feel bad for pennst, nor am I crying a river for them [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] I realize my opinion isn't popular that's fine [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] Ncaa is full of it and needs to be sued! [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] just say it [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] Frazier was one of the most successfull [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] Nd's band is what 430 members... [Body]

Output: Lots of brass, lots of music loudly...btw, my wife asked what cartoon music they were playing when they started the nd victory march....I busted out laughing cause she had no idea and was serious.


Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Title] No way Saban leaves Bama [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] what is the measure though? [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] I just quit carrying that burden.... [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] others [Body]

Output: Virginia, Vatech, Washington/Wazzu..Oregon/Oregon St, Cal Stanford, zona / asu and others. Best instate though is Bama, Auburn for intensity... but overall I can't think of a great instate with the competitive balance of good great programs.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I didn't like the DB [Body]

Output: I didn't like the DB fundamentals this season. From Game 1, it seemed like we were going to be a bump and run team on the corner. But as the season wore on, we would like up in jam coverage, but not get any contact at all. It looked more like "whiff and trail" than bump and run.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 3 days ago [Title] FWIW, I wouldn't have seen [Body]

Output: FWIW, I wouldn't have seen this video if not posted on this site...I didn't care who posted it first or who posted it most recently.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Being a CMU grad, Sept 12, [Body]

Output: Being a CMU grad, Sept 12, 2009 was a great day. Tailgated with college friends and watched CMU beat Sparty. Then we drove home (wife was DD) and watched the Tate Forcier comeback game against ND. Went to the bar to celebrate the victory with friends and watch Spartys cry into their beers. All in all probably drank for 14 hours that day. Hadn't boozed that much since college. But Jan 1 1998 post has to be tops....

Output: Did you just find and drink some Kool-Aid that you had left over from the day of the Brady Hoke's hiring?


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 6 days ago [Title] The apology was meant to [Body]

Output: The apology was meant to appease the MSU fan base. From the banner in the sky to the meatheads with letters painted on their chests, its clear that the MSU fan base is Hoke's number 1 fan. Who doesn't want their fans to be happy?


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 6 days ago [Title] So is this press release a [Body]

Output: So is this press release a summary of what was said between Hoke and Dantonio at center field after the game? They sure had a nice long chat with each other. It's was nauseatingly long and awkward. Say good game and get the fuck out of there, Brady.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 19 hours ago [Title] When you fire a coach during [Body]

Output: When you fire a coach during the season, you have to name an interim. Who on this staff would make a good interim? Matison? Nuss? Freddie J? This whole situation is lose-lose.

Input: [Date] 40 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] Shane did drop a nice pass in [Body]

Output: Shane did drop a nice pass in on Norfleet. But alas, it wasnt a screen pass or something he could body-catch, so the pass fell incomplete.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] The shovel pass play to Jack [Body]

Output: The shovel pass play to Jack Miller was a brilliant play call. No one was expecting that play. He just fell down after Gardner shoveled it to him. Damn natural grass field. That play would have been a touchdown on field turf.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] Holden, Ryan, Ross, et all [Body]

Output: Holden, Ryan, Ross, et all are the worst line backing unit we've had in the 25 years that I've been following Michigan Football. Couldn't agree with you more about his play this season. I applaud his desire to pump up the team, but where was he when the game was only 14-3 and it looked like our team was waiting to audition as extras in the next Walking Dead episode? Apparently Gardner is the only one who is allowed to/has the ability to pump his teammates up after the game has started.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] It was pre-Dantonio, but [Body]

Output: It was pre-Dantonio, but safety Eric Smith ran onto the field after a victory at Notre Dame and planted a huge S flag on ND's turf. Bolden plants a tooth-pick sized stake with no flag and its grounds for WWIII and running up the score.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] Does anyone remember when [Body]

Output: Does anyone remember when Webber and Howard got down at center court at Breslin and thrusted their crotches into the S? I'm pretty sure it was their sophomore year (92-93)

Output: Lets hope the Maze Rage responds by spelling out "KEEP IZZO" on their chests. Izzo is JB's little lap dog


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Remember when Hoke had that [Body]

Output: Remember when Hoke had that hard ass commitment policy? Pharaoh Brown and David Dawson get their offers pulled because they take a visit after committing blue. Now guys are can do whatever they want after they commit and we just pray their LOI comes through the fax machine on Signing Day. Just another sideshow in the UM football circus.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Tattoos make you look tough. [Body]

Output: Tattoos make you look tough. When you look tough, your opponents are scared of you. When opponents are scared of you, you win. Look good, feel good. Feel good, play good. Play good, win. See?


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Narduzzi turned down a low [Body]

Output: Narduzzi turned down a low pressure job at UCONN. Why would be (or anyone for that matter) want to step into the dumpster fire that is Michigan Football? And no, this is Michigan fergodsakes is not the right answer.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 1 day ago [Title] You ever hear the story of [Body]

Output: You ever hear the story of BK's team meeting at CMU when he informed the team that he was leaving? HS teammate of mine played at CMU under Kelly. On the eve of CMU's first bowl game in 12 years, he throws together a hastily arranged team meeting that lasts minutes. He basically told the team he was leaving and ended the meeting shortly by saying "I gotta go, there's another team who is waiting for me" and he leaves. Ask anyone who was at that meeting and they'll confirm he is a scumbag.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Can someone call Nuss in the [Body]

Output: Can someone call Nuss in the middle of the night and suggest some "fantastic", out of the box thinking on offense?


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Stop the train.... College [Body]

Output: Stop the train.... College athletes can date pornstars? There has to be some "impermissible benefits" to dating a pornstar.

Output: While we're doling out fucks, fuck Donald Williams and fuck Eric Montross and his stupid Johnny Unitas haircut.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 1 day ago [Title] When I didn't get accepted to [Body]

Output: When I didn't get accepted to UM, I enrolled at CMU and graduated from there. I never thought for a millisecond about applying to MSU. There's no inferiority complex.


Input: [Date] 5 hours 32 min ago [Body] The season cannot get here soon enough. I don't get why people get so worked up over uniforms. Lighten up, Francis. I actually kinda like the way these look anyway...not that it matters because THESE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MICHIGAN. We all wanted NIke (well, most of us anyway), we get NIke, and now we complain about what Nike is doing even when they haven't started their contract with us yet. Wtf. [Title]

Output: Dear God


Input: [Date] 3 days 22 hours ago [Body] But he wouldn't have been fired after 3 years, that's for damn sure. [Title]

Output: Maybe not


Input: [Date] 4 days 3 hours ago [Body] Is the dark side of the Michigan fan base. To all the people saying RR should just get over it - look in the mirror, dude. [Title]

Output: This thread


Input: [Date] 5 days 4 hours ago [Body] That scientists, who are trained to account for every possible source of error, somehow ignored the very basic fact that measurements from the 1800s are not as accurate as they are today. Not only that, but they totally just arbitrarily round up whenever they feel like it. Because science. Right, yup, that makes sense too. [Title]

Output: And let's also assume


Input: [Date] 5 days 4 hours ago [Body] "Hey Brady, you've been totally wronged and cheated out of 4 games of salary, not to mention a permanently tarnished image, over something that you did absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever, and something you willingly cooperated in anyway only to have it come back and hit you in the face with the outrageouse claim that you didn't cooperate...but hey, just get over it, dude." [Title]

Output: Because that totes makes sense


Input: [Date] 5 days 4 hours ago [Body] Literally everytime I hear a so-called "expert" speak about deflate gate, how it ruins the integrity of the game and blah blah blah, I just want to vomit. Even the one local radio guy who I generally think is unbiased tried to argue this, THIS does more to damage the integrity of the game than a domestic abuse case. His argument was tampering with footballs directly affects a game, whereas domestic abuse does not (apparently). I literally yelled in my car after that. What the fuck kind of reasoning is that? I mean, we are talking about a slightly under inflated ball, right? My mantra though this has been " I feel like I'm taking crazy pills". I'm not a Brady homer or a Pats homer. But damn, it really takes some sort of twisted logic to think THIS supposed cheating (which cannot be definitively proven anyway) is somehow worse for football than players who beat their wives or children. I mean, what in the actual fuck? I'm just so damn sick of the ridiculous bloviating.on the most inconsequential rule you could possibly break. [Title]

Output: Yeah


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Body] I kinda liked it too...brainless entertainment. So long as he didn't talk about Michigan in any way. [Title]

Output: Yeah it's weird

Output: It looks more like texas tech to me


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Body] The fact that people think he's guilty because they hate him. There's FAR more Brady haters than there are lovers out there. In Oklahoma sports radio they've adopted the "he definitely cheated cuz Wells says so!!!!" mantra, and they talk loudly about it every time Brady is mentioned. It makes me ill. [Title]

Output: And I hate


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Body] The dichotomy between how careless they treated the measurement process and how paltry punishments (if any) were to similar previous offenses (so clearly it's at all important)...compared with the actual punishment given to Brady on this issue (so clearly it's the most important thing ever) [Title]

Output: Which again gets at


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Body] A 250+ thread because a guy said he was "bummed"? My God, stop the presses! I must start tut-tutting and elevating my RAGE level! HOW DARE ANYONE BE BUMMED AT ANYTHING MICHIGAN-RELATED?!?!? ESPECIALLY HARBAUGH?!?!??!?!? GOOD RIDDANCE, I SAY!!!!! Harrrumph. [Title]

Output: Sweet Jeebus.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Body] But some people in this thread are getting might judgy and uppity about it. [Title]

Output: Maybe worked up isn't the right word.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] My idiocy when it comes to car discussions just shines through here. By "how fast a car can go in 60 seconds" I meant "how quickly a car can go 0-60 mph". Sweet Jeebus that was just painful to read. Sorry, everyone. [Title]

Output: Oh Lord


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] But I've never understood the desire to fawn over cars and their specs and whatnot. Always felt odd around guys who do, and I had to make an awkward attempt to act like I care how fast that car can go in 60 seconds. As for a car I hate? I guess my opinion goes the other way too,,,there's not any car I really hate either. Except maybe gas-guzzling Hummers. What a waste of space. Oh! And any truck with truck nuts on it, or absurdly large wheels. Just feels like they're trying to compensate for something. [Title]

Output: Hate is a strong word


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Body] There's literally nothing else to talk about right now in the world of sports. Well, unless you count baseball. Which I don't. [Title]

Output: Because it's the middle of summer

Output: Everytime somebody misspells Lidstrom as Lindstrom...


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Or if you are even perceiving their workload fairly... But they are the exception. Not the rule. [Title]

Output: I don't know who those people are


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I'm just vehemently against the idea that the instructors/professors are the problem with the ballooning costs, or anywhere near the primary concern on lists of problems. [Title]

Output: Well, I agree that there are some really big issues


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] This is a lump of steaming hot bullshit. I expect better from you, M-Dog. You aren't the one I would think would tear down an entire profession based on nothing but your own perception of it that is nowhere rooted in reality. [Title]

Output: Surely you can't be serious.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] If that happens, then the debate becomes real interesting. But personally, I don't see it happening. LA hasn't been good enough to finish better than 5th in their conference since 2008, and one of thier cups was as an 8 seed (which, don't get me wrong, is quite a historic accomplishment...but in the discussion of "dynasty", it matters)...you'd think a dynasty-level team would have better regular season stats than that I doubt it suddenly changes in the next two years, especially when they couldn't even make the freaking playoffs this year. [Title]

Output: Cross that birdge when we get there


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I didn't want Chicago to win for exactly this reason...the talk of dynasty. But now that it's here... Chicago very well may be the closest thing the NHL ever gets to a "dynasty" in the post-lockout parity era. It's amazing the run of playoff luck they seem to have when it comes to playoff overtimes. But luck aside, they were clearly playing at a level above every single opponent that came their way, and that difference really showed in games 5-7 of each series they played (if it got there). I've always admired them as a team...they seemed to build themselves around the Red Wings puck possession model that got them a cup in 2008 and nearly another in 2009. Shoot, they did it BETTER than Detroit ever did. It's hard for me to really "hate" them, even though my Detroit fandom practially demands it. Mostly because it's a hell of a lot better than seeing the Bostons and Anaheims of the league winning the cup. Having said all that...fuck man, their fans don't deserve that shit. Like, at all. [Title]

Output: Le sigh...


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 40 min ago [Body] I had the exact opposite reaction. The first Hannibal episode was very underwhelming to me, and the GOT episode was excellent. [Title]

Output: Wut


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Way too many called strikes. Far too content to watch pitches early in the count. But even then, they had chances to get back in it. They just couldn't get the hits to bring the runners home...I recall at least 8 stranded runners. I think the umps weren't perfect, but they never are. Honestly, Michigan deserved the loss...they just did not look like themselves at all. [Title]

Output: Exactly what I saw


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Body] At the game, in section 22 (left field) close to the foul line. It looked clearly foul from where I was sitting. Close, sure, but clearly foul. [Title]

Output: I was in a perfect position to see that


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I was at the game, and sitting out in left field. I am nowhere near a softball expert, but even I could tell that it seemed like there were quite an odd number of Florida players getting hit...and that they didn't seem too concerned about getting out of the way. Definitely a couple times I was like "wait...she got hit?" because the batter wouldn't move but all of the sudden take a base. I could tell from 250 feet away. I don't know the rules but common sense would seem to me that you should make SOME attempt to get out of the way... but instead it almost looked like they were purposefully getting their elbows in the way of pitches. [Title]

Output: INteresting


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Body] You are a bit critical of 2008, but you didn't even mention one of the biggest parts of the cup run that was frustrating - game 5 of the SCF was an adventure that ended up in yet another one of those can't-close-it-out data points that became a pattern since then. Wings go down 2-0 in first period, so play from behind to close out the cup. But they battle back and score in the 2nd and twice in the third, steal ALL of the momentum, have ALL BUT WON the cup...and with 35 seconds left, Pittsburgh ties it up. Three overtimes later...3 OTs of being literally on the brink of winning everything with just one shot...but instead we're headed to game 6. Now, they DID close it out (thank god) in Pittsburgh after that crushing loss, but this is just another example of that annoying pattern that kept showing up on a yearly basis in the playoffs. That can't be all Babcock's fault of course, but maybe a new coach will bring a much needed breath of fresh air into what seemed like was a stale environment. Babcock was brilliant in the way he approached Tampa this year with an inferior roster...and yet, paradoxically, I wonder how much of the reason why Detroit collapsed in the series had to do with Babcock and this recurring pattern of "can't close out pivotal games at home" [Title]

Output: Great summation

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I can somewhat get why a coahc may not want their player to transfer in conference. "Oh yeah, sure kid! Transfer over to Ohio State! That sounds great!" But...this is not that situation. This is singling out exactly one school out of conference. It's totally out of spite. Way to take the high road, Gus... It's all about the student athletes. I'm sure. [Title]

Everytime I hear a local sports guy (I live in Oklahoma,) talk about deflategate and how "THEY CHEATED" and all this stuff about how they deserve it and blah blah blah...I just...can't.

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 5 days ago [Title] It seems to me that you and I [Body]

Output: It seems to me that you and I will never agree, since the core of my argument is that the playoffs should be decided by series (7 game series at that) in order to determine who is the better team. Short series and the spacing between the games allow teams to roll out their aces twice a series, whereas longer series are a test of depth. Baseball has always been about the depth of teams. That is why the regular season is so long, and that is why until recently it was considered absurd to have anything but series. I don't entirely disagree with you and see that there is some merit to your reasoning, but I disagree with you entirely that these benefits outweigh the assault on the very core of the game itself. There are 162 games in the regular season, and if one wildcard makes it in by a couple games over the next best ones, then so be it. Just like the Braves, they could have helped themselves by winning their games.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I understand these arguments, [Body]

Output: I understand these arguments, but I think some of the positive components of what you outline are overridden by what happened in 2012 during the first iteration of this format. A 94 win Braves team had to play an 88 win Cardinals team and ultimately lost a game played under protest due to one of the worst calls I have ever seen. Anyone who watched that game - which wasn't many because it started at 5PM on a Friday - should understand why a one game anything in baseball is not tenable; precisely because of that randomness. That the Cards went on to win the WS is a moot point, as they had no business being given equal treatment to a team that had a 6 game advantage on them, which played in a superior division, and which had won 5 of the 6 games against the Cardinals that season. Any benefit is far outweighed by the above being allowed to happen.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Baseball is somewhat random [Body]

Output: An individual baseball game is more "random" because there are far more variables at work than there are in basketball, for example, where the same 6-8 guys play the same 6-8 other who run more or less the same plays. In baseball the batter-pitcher matchup, coupled with just how difficult it is for the offense to score in general produces such outcomes. I think baseball would be less "random" if the playoffs were as inclusive as other leagues, where the top 6-8 from the AL/NL each make it and they play a 7 game series (5 game series are too short IMO). In that scenario I think the better teams would win out at a similar rate as in football. That being said, I would hate that as a baseball fan. I think the 1 game play-in game is an abomination that should be strapped to an ICBM and launched into the sun.

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 2 days ago [Title] In the student section right [Body]

Output: In the student section right behind a group of 30 or so PSU fans that were huge assholes to everyone around them the entire time. I can't believe how many M students sold their tickets during fall break; A2 was INFESTED with PSU bros that weekend. They were out on South U and elsewhere picking fights and whatnot the Friday before. Funny how they didn't seem to be around on Saturday night. This is when I lost all respect for PSU, well before the most recent...events. This and Braylonfest were the two best live moments in sports for me. That Saturday was one of the biggest party nights that took place while I was at M. I think because it was a generally terrible season to that point and the game ended at night the student body turned it up to 11.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] If I'm not mistaken that [Body]

Output: If I'm not mistaken that correction has to do with the speed of the satellite in orbit being faster than the speed of someone standing on the surface. The same principle would apply if you placed a clock on an extremely tall tower - the top is rotating faster than the base. These are two different principles at work here. Says that guy who's never taken physics, anyway (me).


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] At some point doesn't the [Body]

Output: At some point doesn't the University have to consider how far it is willing to go to remain competitive in this environment? I think we have two great coaches in Harbaugh and Beilein, but as the years go on, Michigan will be challenged in its ability to do things the right way while also remaining competitive. I think we are currently very near the edge of the envelope.

Output: I think my senior year (07-08) was probably the last year you could really sneak in as a late night destination. They kept everything locked, but we found a tree next to the fence on the on the Crisler side that was helpful in getting over the fence. Depending on the security guard's enthusiasm and weather, you could get a lot of time in on the field. It was pretty epic after a fresh snow. The best part is that the security lights were bright enough for you to see pretty well. I'm sure it's totally different now. Thanks, Dave Brandon.

EDIT: Okay, now there are at least three. EDIT EDIT: I accidentally upvoted myself, so rather than living with that shame I downvoted myself.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I'm not really sure they are [Body]

Output: I'm not really sure they are at a disadvantage in recruiting because Michigan is running a series of half day camps in the South. Auburn is permanently located in Alabama, so I don't think things have changed. Plus they pay their players, etc. They are just whining because they are babies. Also I think it's hilarious that Auburn thinks it is a bigger name than Michigan.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I had similar experience too, [Body]

Output: I had similar experience too, and it was an extremely bizarre feeling. On one hand I wanted us to ruin what I perceived at the time to be a small chance they would make the playoffs, just so I could be assured that they wouldn't win it all. On the other, I felt as you described - I needed Michigan to lose to ensure Hoke wouldn't be retained. I don't know if I was happy, but I sure wasn't upset about the whole thing. I hope I never have to feel like that again.


Input: [Date] 5 hours 54 min ago [Body] Well having one playmaker a year isn't such a bad wish. I'm fine with that. I think you could make an argument that finding one a year is actually a "need" to sustain a great offense. I hear your point though my man. I think we forget about Cole from last years class. Here's to hoping he shows those "playmaking" skills a few times his freshman year. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 day 3 hours ago [Body] The thing that excites me is that we have so many players with a ton of undeveloped potential at nearly every position that this team is a complete mystery. With this coaching staff and their ability to develop talent from that potential (as shown historically), this team has... Well... A lot of potential. I really do think that Michigan is the perfect sleeper team. May struggle early but I expect things to click more and more each game, and it should be fun to watch. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 days 22 hours ago [Body] I understand the whole no spiritual crap, but I do have to make one comment. If you don't believe in Christianity or what it's founded on, that's your deal and that's fine. But your comment tells me you completely misinterpret the reasoning behind the "mission." The act of "converting" someone to Christianity is a completely selfless act of service that is only attempted because of a general care for people; it has everything to do with the belief of what happens to those who don't follow Christianity - an act of love for people. And the "medical missions" are done for people regardless if they convert or not - it is not a requirement to sign on the dotted line seal it with blood in order to receive care. It is an act of service, again because of a care for the well being of others. There are bad apples in every social/spiritual group (even among Michigan fans), so don't assume every Christian or Christian act of service is littered in selfishness. Again, I respect your beliefs or lack of Christian belief, but you don't have to be a Christian to appreciate what Tebow did there in Indonesia. Mods, I apologize for the addition to the "no religion" policy. But I ask if you remove my comment then please remove his as well. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] In my personal opinion, we can think what we want to think and judge past performance to come up with an answer, but with this coaching staff it is a completely new ball game. I don't think there's any way to have a clue as to who will start in the fall. Completely new coaching staff. New offensive to learn. And what I'm assuming is a lot more teaching to be had. Any one of these guys could all of a sudden "get it" and end up the starter. Last years performances may have had more to do with the coaching than the talent, and I think we will figure that all out once we see who is on top and how they perform. This is the cop out answer if anyone wants to join me. [Title]

We do, however, have a lot of potential at the QB position and no doubt do I think we will be good at the position for a long time coming under Harbaugh starting at the latest next season. Whether it's Morris or Gentry or any of the 100 QBs under the roster, one of those guys is going to hit their potential. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I personally feel that if anyone has an opinion to make on a player on the board (who isn't paid to contribute) it's probably you mostly because you are a professional evaluator. It's just this attitude on these guys is way too pessimistic in general, and too many assumptions are made off of a star rating. In general I agree with what the ranking systems are for and I'd be an idiot if I said I wouldn't be more excited about a five/four star guy with a buttload of offers over a sleeper that came from nowhere; however, we need to trust Harbaigh on the guys we are recruiting a LITTLE BIT more than we are as a whole at the moment. [Title]

Output: I personally feel that if


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Sometimes it feels as if we believe Harbaugh is a terrible evaluator solely because the guys he picks up are either ranked as a generic two star or unranked.

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Body] You wouldn't be referring to Jabrill Peppers now would you? I think there was some hints that at least he was going to get some exposure to the offense, and potentially make a "surprise" showing in the Spring game, but that obviously never happened. Based off of the conclusion from this discussion alone, I would be shocked if he didn't get AT LEAST a few reps a game in the offense. Harbaugh is known to not shy away from letting guys play on both sides of the ball, and this is probably the biggest weapon he's ever had with those capabilites. Personally, I believe if you throw Peppers on the offense a decent amount, you can make a capable offense very explosive and exciting in a hurry. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 1 day ago [Body] There are a few record labels where I tend to like most of the artists signed by them. One of them in particular releases full album playlists for much of the music produced under their label on YouTube, and I have found and purchased a lot of good music because of the free resource that was provided for my use. This would be an effective way for small bands to get their music out there and in turn bring additional profits by being more exposed. YouTube is not the end all be all for me for music, so obviously I still am in need of another outlet to listen to their music via other devices. Because of this, I am more likely to purchase their music. Smaller bands and artists that don't get the radio play need a way for listeners to find them, and there are plenty of "free" tools out there to do that. When you go and rip their music for free, yes you may end up going to a concert some day or buy a shirt another, but you no longer need another means of listening which would reinforce spending money to support them since you already have a physical copy. So while ripping music may in fact help bring money into artists pockets by allowing them to gain more of a following and such, they still have that opportunity with all these other free media outlets available online that don't provide you with an actual physical/digital copy of their music. It would benefit them more if they were discovered using those outlets rather than just having their music "ripped" because there's still the need of purchase. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Body] But these once again are all FINAL RANKINGS. Half of the "two stars" Harbaugh has picked up lately haven't even been partially evaluated. If you recall, Canteen and Brandon Watson had similar rankings a couple years back until they were finally evaluated later on. Canteen turned out to be a solid four star composite and Watson a high three star composite. Wait until these guys get fully evaluated before you crash all over Harbaugh's recruiting strategy. And while I understand that you used the appropriate tools to validate an argument and were a lot less distasteful and much more subtle about it, this collection of thoughts needs to be put aside for down the road as a whole.

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I thought the common thread with these guys is that they are smart AND athletic. This kinda crap gets said after every three star or lower commits to any major UM sport. Have we not leaned to shut our traps until we see how things trend? These guys will all get heavily scouted now that they've committed to the most talked about coach in the sport. There is no doubt in my mind that there will be a few four stars out of these guys Harbaugh is pulling in from these camps as underrated recruits. We all love the starz; we all understand where you are coming from. Any of us who are saying you unbelievers need to shut it, we aren't saying that starz/more skilled players don't matter. We are just saying that before you believe he's recruiting a MAC team, wait for the final rankings to come out once the class is full and signed. Watch some of these guys get the bumps they are going to get, and then you will all be at much greater ease. [Title]

Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] OK so I made an idiot statement that I questioned prior to posting anyway mostly because of the "RR" QB controversy and the fact that I knew getting most UM fans in a penis measuring contest will never go well. Cousins was not a bad college quarterback. That is the only statement I'm trying to make. If he was bad, he wouldn't have NFL starts to his name THREE YEARS INTO HIS PRO CAREER even if there wasn't much ahead/behind him. Bad quarterbacks also don't get drafted in the fourth round. I'm done talking now. Neg away/Harbaugh. [Title]

Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] My point was that he's in the NFL and is actually playing snaps. There were a few times even I thought of picking him up off waivers for my fantasy team because he was putting up pretty decent numbers while he was starting. If he wasn't a good quarterback, he wouldn't be in the NFL at all. Plenty of good college quarterbacks don't make it/transition to the NFL. He's no worse than Chad Henne at this point, and I don't think we would say that Chad Henne was a bad college quarterback. I just feel that sometimes our homerism gets the best of us at times.

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Body] /Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke One and dones are still going to be one and dones, but more than likely overseas. I'm not sure why a kid would go to school for a semester just to jump right to the NBA, but there probably would be one or two - It is more likely they just train for a year instead. THEN there will be a buttload of kids that only play one year instead of two or two years instead of three. I'm not sure how that does anything but seriously damage the athletic programs, even if the focus is meant to be on education first. FINALLY, it has been said all over within these discussions that the freshmen would still be participating in practices and scrimmages and more than likely attend games. The NCAA would essentially have to ban all "redshirted" players from attending certain meetings/practices or limit their time schedules dedicated to their athletic progression in order to get some sort of academic benefit out of this. And if they do that, how does that help the kid out if his goal is to play in the NBA? You're limiting the "athlete's" progression and in turn hurting their futures as NBA prospects. This MAY even deter some of them from attending school and push them towards a short-term international career before shooting for the NBA as well; I'm not sure how this helps these kids academically. The kids that want to be in school will be in school, so they don't need a redshirt year if they have the ability to play and still plan to focus on their academics - Not only will you be hurting these kids but the athletic programs that are in need of immediate help. More than likely if the NCAA opens this back up, you will probably see the NBA react within a year or two by allowing players to play right out of high school (ala MLB), which will be silmilar to back in the Kobe/Lebron days where there was a flood of kids headed for the NBA before attending a college course. INSTEAD, the flood will be even greater and create an even larger issue because of the "redshirt" year requirement. These are my thoughts at least. [Title]

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Body] It's not difficult at all for most of us, but for some of us it's not quite so simple. It's easy to think logically in your own mind, but for some logic is misconstrued and addictions and psychological differences make it difficult for them to make positive life choices on a consistent basis. You do realize that ONE poor decision resulted in these consequences. One bad day. One terrible decision. There may have been another incident in the past, but this is the choice that resulted in him being dismissed. I may not struggle with a violent past where it is difficult to control my "violent" behaviors, but I do have my own daily battles because of both my encounters and poor past decisions. It doesn't matter what society perceives those battles as in comparison to others struggles, it is still a psychological battle to deal with those struggles and not falter. I imagine it is the same for most of us - we have our evils and things we try to improve upon ourselves every day. Last thing I will say is that the best thing you can do when you do make those big mistakes is not only learn from them but teach others about how to avoid those situations and how to be more aware of those things - if you help prevent one person from making those same mistakes, then you have turned a negative into a positive. I am glad to see that Frank Clark has started this process. End of book. [Title]

Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] The only reason I think we wouldn't be is because of last years cluster. Analysts in general don't pay a whole lot of attention to the "injury bugs" and probably would assume a normal projection due to gained experience. I think we will be at the bottom of the top 25 without him and around 10-15 with him in the fold, but my guess is with the lineup that will be put on the floor with him (and a bit of an unknown in Wagner) that we will probably surprise most people. I guess what I'm saying is that I agree with you, but I fully expect this team to be on some analysts final four boards at the end of the season. Again, this is WITH Brown. However, I still think we could breach that status with Williams instead of Brown. I'm going to be super pumped about that kid as well if we snag him instead of Brown. Elite shooter = Beilein magic.

Even in our most recent great years, our good depth was 7/8 strong.. so this heavily trumps that. I really wouldn't be surprised to see some early entry NBA guys next year from this lineup... Potential for Levert, Irvin and Walton. If Irvin plays like he has the last few weeks all season long, there will be some definite chatter with him. Walton was on the board before he got hurt and his play suffered from it. And Dawkins, man... I'm not going to say it wont happen. [Title]

Input: [Date] 20 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Sometimes I wonder how many of us on this board, especially those that tend to be more critical of others and their mistakes, have littered themselves with poor decisions that they try to hide (expecially from themselves). The truth of the matter is that there isn't one individual on this planet that hasn't made a regrettable mistake in their lives and hasn't faced adversity. David Harrison is doing everything he can to provide for his family and survive, and props to him for learning from his mistakes and trying to better himself with the situation he's currently in. It's easy for us to feel sorry for ourselves and sulk in our adversity and get nowhere. This man is facing it and trying to figure out how he can overcome it in order to support those he's responsible for. In no way is this funny. From someone who has learned from his own past mistakes and thankfully been able to learn from them and in turn been blessed from that wisdom, I seriously hope David figures out how to turn that intelligence of his into something that will help bring him the success and fulfillment he desires. He has obviously matured, and because of that he deserves a shot at fulfillment. [Title]

Input: [Date] 20 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Walton > Spike... when healthy. Even when he's not, he still showcases skills that Spike just doesn't have. Spike is a better pure point guard, but we have also learned that Beilein's teams thrive with a skilled athletic point guard. I guess the better way of putting it is that in no way should Spike ever supplant Walton as the starter where Walton is forced to sit on the bench. He was incredible as a developing freshman, and he has the potential to be an NBA draft pick if he's allowed to showcase that development when healthy next year. He was a projected pick this past year until he got hurt, and this is a guy that should only help is status with another year. Walton is going to be phenomenal for us next year, and I can't wait to see the development of this team with a healthy Walton and potential Levert return, not to mention Duncan Robinson and the possibility of getting this overseas kid. We seriously have a chance to be an incredibily special team again next year. And with the projection that Dawkins is currently on, I would not be surprised to see him blow up next year. Like gone to NBA ala Burke/Stauskas blow up. This year's team is fun to watch, but next year's has the potential to be extremely fun. [Title]

Input: [Date] 22 weeks 7 hours ago [Body] I see what you're saying, and I agree with a lot of it. However, there are still a lot of kids that want to make their college choice prior to their senior year, and that number seems to continually grow year after year. Some schools just have to be crossed off the list because of the fact that they can't afford to visit (especially with family). I think that the kids who want to see that gameday atmosphere and make those late decisions are still going to do that whether or not they have the opportunity to check out the campus on an official before their senior season. I don't think the timelines for a decision of many recruits will actually change much with earlier official visits, but it will give recruits and their families who want to make those earlier decisions a real good look at the schools they are truly interested in no matter the required distance traveled. Some families have the money to do those things on their own, and some don't. [Title]

Input: [Date] 23 weeks 2 days ago [Body] To your point, I think that if he is successful in the NFL... people will forget their lasting views of him at Michigan. The truth of the matter is that the offensive gameplan did not put him in a position to kill it on the field. Maybe he didn't make the most out of every opportunity, but look at Devin Gardners numbers and tell me Funchess was going to have elite WR numbers even if he did catch every ball. The passing game was terrible, and this wasn't either of the Devin's fault. Coaching, man. [Title]

Input: [Date] 23 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I'm sorry, but Frank Clark was much better than an "above average athlete." I had no doubts about him getting drafted until that incident. He seemed to me to be another player that underperformed his skills, much like Funchess. I wouldn't have been surprised to see him snagged in the third round prior to what happened, and I fully expect him still to be grabbed by someone, undrafted or not, and make an NFL roster if he can stay out of trouble. Not just make the roster, but play some significant minutes in his career. He has plenty of "can't teach" immeasureables that will do him a lot of good with proper discipline and coaching. [Title]

Input: [Date] 23 weeks 2 days ago [Body] All I know is there's a lot "ifs" with this current team. I do think we are close to turning the corner, but a lot if development needs to be made with a lot of players in order for this team to play for the B1G title next year (with or without Caris). The one thing we know for sure is that a healthy Walton Jr will be am excellent improvement at the PG position, but I think that's the only for sure expectation as far as improvement goes. I do think MAAR and Dawkins will make that leap forward and turn into excellent players, but I'm really curious to see how Chapman and DJ Wilson look next year. I think Chapman will be better than most expect, but Wilson is a complete unknown with him barely playing this year - it may have hurt his projected development. Either way, I think next year will be a fun and exciting team to watch again. I don't expect to pick up any high level recruits being that it looks like we may get one with few options; therefore, I don't expect any real new faces that could instantly impact the team in a positive way. Duncan Robinson should provide excellent shooting, but his complete impact is entirely unknown as well. All that being said, definite improvement next year, but the extent is extremely up in the air. Player development may have never been more inportant given our current youth. [Title]

Input: [Date] 25 weeks 1 hour ago [Body] So here we have people trying to get word across that we shouldn't tweet negative things at recruits, and in response we have people who blog about those feelings instead. Makes sense I guess, but I feel like half the point was missed somehow. [Title]

Input: [Date] 25 weeks 1 hour ago [Body] I think what makes your comment more comical than it should be is the fact that you complained about Jay accidentally misspelling "Adidas" while you purposefully misspelled 1/10 of the words I'm responding to. I realize you're not trying to sell yourself here or anything, but it's still comical. [Title]

Output: I think what makes your


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I'm not here condoning his actions or saying the girl deserved it, but as a poster above stated, the girl was out of sorts and approached Mixon looking for an altercation (I believe she was drunk). It is known that she had a history of legal issues, so I say this with the understanding that she was not an innocent party in this incident. I will reiterate from my post above that Mixon was known to have a good background with no prior incidents in his childhood, so this was very out of sorts for him. Again, there is never an excuse to hit a female, especially in the manner that was done in this case, but I fully understand this as something to not expect in the future with him. This isn't a Ray Rice issue where the footage showed the actions of a completely cold-blooded male - there were faults in both parties, and the end result was Mixon going out of control with how he reacted to the female's actions. His suspension and jail time was understood and deserved, but I fully expect him to learn from this situation as everything I read claims him to be a stand out individual with good morality. [Title]

Output: I'm not here condoning his


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Going to be honest with you guys here... I don't think the mindset with Mixon is similar to that of other guys who have been involved with domestic violence. I live in OKC and I've read most of the articles and heard a lot of perceptions of this situation. I think OU fans are still excited about this kid, and the knowledge of him is that this incident was completely out of the norm for the kid and is not quite so cut and dry as "punch girl in face" sounds. The OK media all got to see the footage of the incident, and it was basically what they expected they would see. There was an article in the Oklahoman this morning with quotes from Stoops about how exited they are to have him back and how good of a kid he is. He does not have a bad background at all, and I will honestly be more shocked if we hear about another negative incident from him (especially to this severity) than if we don't. I completely dislike OU, but I am definitely open to seeing this kid have another chance. One incident should not be the end of a players career. [Title]

Output: Going to be honest with you


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Half agree half not. The part I don't agree to is that Harbaughs staff was on the "loser" end of the recruiting gig. I do think there's a bit if an ego issue with the standard mgoblogger's perspective regarding certain media outlets, and while opinions are voiced quite strongly on this one as well, I definitely think Harbaugh's staff did a great job flipping some guys we had (probably) never even heard of prior to a few weeks ago. We lost out on some guys, but that has to be expected with a minimal timeframe to recruit with a new staff (even with Harbaugh's reputation). OTHER THAN THAT... I hear you, man. [Title]

Output: Half agree half not. The part


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I read the sports page of the local Oklahoman that is provided to me in the handicap stall I am currently sitting in. Doesn't make me old, but then again if this wasn't a free service I wouldn't be reading... So I guess you're right. [Title]

Input: [Date] 26 weeks 2 hours ago [Body] Do they not have any good freshmen coming in? I think a lot of people thought we would be atrocious a few years where we scrapped together a very good team as well. I completely dislike that school not to mention their coach, but he is still a good coach. All it takes is a few players to step up and make a difference and the outlook could be completely different. [Title]

Output: Do they not have any good


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 3 hours ago [Body] See also: Mitch McGary...? Oh wait, he actually figured it out... I know both Donnal and Chatman have only three years of eligibility left and everything, but I think they still have a chance at becoming good if not great players. Beilein has a knack for helping players continually improve. Plus the fact that Chatman started at the beginning of the year kind of gives me the idea that maybe he was showing something prior to the beginning of the season that isn't what we are seeing now. Wait to see what these guys look like next year before you think that Beilein screwed up on those two guys. [Title]
