Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I was hiking with my friend and her dog in the mountains outside of Anchorage, AK and all of a sudden the dog freaked out. It was whining and it would not budge, and then it shrunk down and peed. Way out in the distance, about half a mile away, a wolverine was running across a snowfield on its way over into the next valley. I was so pleased to not only see one, but know that at that distance, going in the opposite direction, it is scary enough to make a 50 pound dog freeze up and pee. Hail the fearsome wolverine. [Title]

Output: Alaska has got them still


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Body] How does one go about getting tickets for a neutral site game? Does anyone know? I have been considering going, but wonder what the process is for their release and other things like that. [Title]

Output: how?


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Body] 2 years ago I witnessed sexual abuse against a middle schooler (not as atrocious as this case, but very bad and very illegal) and I was on the phone with 911 immediately. I don't say this to brag, or to judge anyone else, and I guess I sort of see what the original poster is getting at. I am just saying, the phone was in my hand before I even knew what I was doing. You just have to take care of kids, no matter what else is going on. That should be everyone's instinct, and when people fall short of that, it is truly disappointing. [Title]

Output: I had this happen


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Body] My brother and I were buying a memory card at some camera shop in Beijing, and the cashier asked us where we were from. We said "Michigan," and from the back of the store, an old man yelled, "University of Michigan- many great champion!" He turned out to be the owner. This was 2006, and he really really wanted to talk about the Pistons and their great champions as well. Awesome. [Title]

Output: Beijing Camera shop


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Body] Actually, you can study for the vocab words, and can memorize a (limited) dictionary on a short term basis. At a bookstore, you can find small books of the vocab words most likely to be on the test. If the english component of the test matters to the programs you are applying to, or you just want to maximize your score, I advise that you grab one of those books (similar lists are online), make flashcards, and spend a few weeks looking them over for a little bit each day. My friend and I did this and I have still never met anyone who scored better on the english section than I did, since so much of it is about vocab (friend scored slightly lower, but still a stunning accomplishment for a Spartan). Good luck. [Title]

Output: Respectful Disagreement


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] Classes resume tuesday after MLK [Title]

Output: still true


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Body] Oh Don, I know that is not a farfetched prediction at all, but it made me so sad... [Title]

Output: Oh Don

Output: I will claim...


Input: [Date] 4 years 33 weeks ago [Body] Living in Madison, WI, it is so rare for me to get the Lions televised. Their games against the Packers and the thanksgiving game are the only ones (hate it when they played Pack on thanksgiving). But... AT&T has not been able to show me a minute of this game because of technical difficulties. Sooooo lame. [Title]

Output: Ugh


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] I wish I had enough points of my own to down vote this. We shouldn't even have to take the time to explain why this is such a lame post. [Title]

Output: i wish...


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] As a current 'Scansin resident, I approve, though I am troubled by the lack of reference to sausage, which must be a typo. [Title]

Output: awesome and authentic


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Seems like his absence will not hurt our chances, which I like, but I feel bad for Bolden. He has done alright at stepping into a starting job that I did not think would fall to him, and I am sure the prospect of missing the Michigan night game while worrying about the health of his brain is a real bummer. [Title]

Output: Not bad news for us


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Boy, I was at the OSU-UW game and this is such a ludicrous statement. When things looked bad for OSU, Pryor was moping around and brushing people off that tried to talk to him on the sideline. He is good for fired up nonsense a week later, but when the game was getting down to it, his body language was sulky and he definitely was not the spark that was going to drive that team. [Title]

Output: Didn't Seem That Way, TP


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Jalapeno poppers made from scratch... hope that works out. And a variety of beers. Watching the game at home, then going to UW-OSU. Chance to see Buckeyes fall very, very appealing. Also, drinking until night game starts very, very appealing. [Title]

Output: Bringing the heat


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Body] I'm a grad student at Wisconsin right now, and this is the first time my students have ever been pulling for Michigan. Every semester starts with serious grumbling when I explain where my undergrad degree is from, but I have been getting student emails this week hoping that we kick State's ass. No one here is impressed with the Spartan win, only pissed about UW's uninspired dud of a game. Plus, saying some crude things about Bielema. [Title]

Output: Upside to UW loss for me


Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Body] I grew up in East Lansing so many, many of my best friends went to MSU. Every time this game rolls around, though, I do not hear a peep from them about it. Why? No one has made good on our $10 bet on the 2004 Braylonfest game yet. Deadbeats, cheapskates and cowards all. [Title]

Output: Not hearing a peep


Input: [Date] 4 years 47 weeks ago [Body] I have been living in Madison for 3 years now teaching undergrads as I work on PhD, and have been surprised which rivalries they care about. They want to beat Minnesota pretty bad, but do not seem to hate the state or school much (maybe because of tuition reciprocity agreement that brings many Minnesota students to UW? maybe because Minnesota hasn't exactly brought it lately?). They talk about Iowa the way I talk about Ohio, though. To hear them tell it, the whole state is nothing but murderers and molesters. Had no idea how much they have against U of M either. Yikes. We are one of their top rivals, many say. I don't have the heart to tell them that Wisconsin is so far down the rivalry chain for us that I never thought much of it as a rival at all. [Title]

Output: Thought so too


Input: [Date] 5 years 21 weeks ago [Body] Pretty sure we must attribute that sentiment to Snoop, though he is referring to Tanqueray and bubonic chronic that Dre himself showed up with. [Title]

Output: Snoop


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Body] The German bar is probably the Essenhaus, which, because this is Madison, connected to another affiliated German bar- the Come Back In. Both are excellent if you want your beer by the litre and served in a glass boot. For a great meal, check out the Old Fashioned, which is on the capitol square. If a giant burger topped with bacon, onions, cheddar and a fried egg with a side of fried cheese curds sounds right to you, you cannot do better than the Old Fashioned. [Title]

Output: Essenhaus/Come Back In?


Input: [Date] 5 years 44 weeks ago [Body] but there was nothing (except the score) close about the Wisconsin-MSU game. I have to imagine that they are back to wondering if they have a starting quarterback- throwing moonballs to the other team's safety did not keep them in the game at all, but it was a strategy they did not turn away from. While I walk away from the IU game thinking "God, our defense needs to shape up for the State game," I doubly walked out of the MUS-UW game thinking "woah, MSU has no sense of what they are doing on either side of the ball. Good thing they got some garbage scores to make this mess a little better on paper." [Title]

Output: I hear what you are saying


Input: [Date] 5 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Lovecraft reference trumps all in my book. Good show sir [Title]

Output: HP


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] anyone can use student tickets at Wisconsin, there is no validation or ID showing. They are vouchers that you exchange at the gate for a ticket, so the earlier you show up, the closer you can sit. I sat in the student section two years ago, maize and blue head to toe, and had no problems (except the problem of losing). Student tickets might be an affordable option, judging form the waning interest in Wisconsin football around town here, even at 3-0. [Title]

Output: actually...


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Body] I was so sure this was going to be an awesome post about whether Denard is faster than Tate or not. The setup was beautiful. That being said, I would agree- I have probably heard enough about Free press investigations to hold me for a while, and will now return to pacing around, trying to figure out how to speed this week up until football finally starts. [Title]

Output: based on the title,


Input: [Date] 5 years 49 weeks ago [Body] Obviously, I hope we run them over. I hope MSU beats them too, as that really seems to get under the skin of the Domers I know. Beyond that, I hope they win just enough that they don't immediately, obviously have to fire Weis, but not enough that they feel good keeping him. I like the situation of ND being torn on either eating his giant contract or keeping him around to eat everything else. Another year of indecision and looming trouble in South bend, that's what I am rooting for. [Title]

Output: Not exactly rooting...


Input: [Date] 5 years 49 weeks ago [Body] I don't know about anybody else but the Tigers are really getting me through a long rainy August without getting overly antsy for football. I can't believe how long they have clung to first with all their shortcomings. It will kill me if the Sox pass them. [Title]

Output: I don't know about anybody else


Input: [Date] 5 years 50 weeks ago [Body] Born in Lansing, quickly moved to East lansing, went to East Lansing HS. Luckily, my parents met at U of M in grad school and raised me right. Dad worked for Gov. Blanchard when I was born and a boss from his office sent a stuffed wolverine with a music box in its stomach to the hospital (it still plays The Victors, though a little slow and warbly now). With a big fuzzy music-playing block M-wearing wolverine in your crib from day 1, how could you stray? 18 years later we were off to Ann Arbor. Snuck him into the Big House for the 2003 OSU game and Breaston rubbed his belly after we rushed the field. [Title]

Output: Behind Enemy Lines


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 6 days ago [Body] One thing I've heard is that with taxes so much higher in Canada, there is not much difference between the Detroit/Toronto offer. I hope he sticks around though. [Title]

Output: Taxes


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I really enjoyed the video, thanks for posting. Rudock looked good, and was making plays/throws we haven't seen since Henne. It would be interesting to see some video comparing him to the guy who stole the starting job from him, and what went wrong for Rudock before he was benched. From this game he looks like a pretty darn good QB. [Title]

Output: Great Post


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 2 days ago [Body] The team looked very good at times today. Diving for ground balls, some nice plays on offense and some good saves from Logan. I didn't think the D looked all that bad to be honest. A few bad plays, but a number of bad breaks and penalties really hurt. The biggest issue we had was face offs. I don't think we won one until the 3rd quarter, and they were able to possess the ball all day, and eventually get some good looks. Had face offs been even I'm guessing this game would have been a lot closer. We were definitely some looks, but didn't have the ball enough to generate them regularly. [Title]

Output: Unfortunate loss


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Will be good to see the team in some nice weather, and hopefully make this an interesting game. Osu is really inconsistent. We have been playing better lately, and getting king back helps. [Title]

Output: I'll be there


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Isn't this why they invented the blocking rule way back when? I thought I heard it was because guys were going up for layups and getting undercut. That's why you never saw people dunk prior to the 70's or whatever because it was too dangerous to attempt. [Title]

Output: Blocking


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Team looked good today. D played well, lots of contributors on O, king is back and a conference victory. One more win is likely needed to make the conference tourney. Tracy was playing attack again and looked good. I know he had at least an assist. [Title]

Output: Great win


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 1 day ago [Body] It was definitely cool to see the game at home, in HD on BTN. Maryland was definitely the better team, especially at the X and with their defense. We had a number of poor turnovers to start the game which didn't help either. Injuries also seem to be hurting this team. King is out, a number of defenders are out, and it looked like Joseph may have gotten hurt yesterday. I know he played early, but then Hernandez ran an awful lot with the 1's. I don't know that I saw the 2nd line middies much either. It was good to see Tracy pick up a couple points. His dodge from X and goal was impressive. I'd like to see him get some more PT. He seems athletic enough to beat his defenders, which is something this team lacks at times. [Title]

Output: Watched on BTN


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I would draft DL in early rounds here because there isn't much depth. I wouldn't want to get stuck with the reserves on the DL. I'd also draft RB's and LB's later since we have depth and not a lot of differentiation there. So in my mind the early draft isn't saying DL will be a strength, so much as it could signal lack of depth. Unless this is like changes in players weight during the offseason, where all news is good news. [Title]

Output: DL


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Body] The rules of lacrosse have been changing due to concussions. It's basically illegal now to give out a big physical body check. Girls are even wearing helmets in some states, and their rules have no contact at all. The game is still largely the same, but safer. I'm not sure I can see Football finding a way to change the rules to keep it safer without drastically impacting the style of play. [Title]

Output: Evolving Rules


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I think today's game was really a 2nd chance at a team like Jacksonville. They were big, strong, athletic, and last year beat us at home much like the JU team beat us last week. Credit to the defense, goalies and FOGOs. We packed it in and gave up lots of shots, but they weren't great shots. It looked like good team defense. This team was no cupcake given what they did to Virginia earlier in the week. To do this without king and on the road speaks to the effort the team gave today. [Title]

Output: Good win


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 5 days ago [Body] If the knock on him was that he was inconsistent and not giving full effort during the year, 2 drastically different 40 times doesn't help that concern. Injury? Effort? Or just bad timing by hand today? Really surprised they didn't use electronic timers. Even my high school had an electronic timer, and that was in the 90's. [Title]

Output: Inconsistent


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Judging by the way that we were outshot, Cal only going 2-11 on free positions and us taking 48 penalites (!) I am surprised we won. Looks like we played really smart on offense, and good for the team to take a road win. Tough to get those wins on the west coast. [Title]

Output: wow


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I've seen plenty of movement in prior games. Not sure if we were trying something new last night or not, but I have a feeling the lack of possessions really got us out of synch. [Title]

Output: Movement


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 10 hours ago [Body] They definitely have some guys we would have taken. The recruiting process is very early in lacrosse, . But I would think that their upper classmen should be on par with our upperclassmen by now (KJ, Hernandez, Logan, etc.). It's also not a surefire as football/basketball, and plenty of guys develop late. This team has historically struggled away from home and outdoors, and tonight they just looked off in a number of respects. I wouldn't say I'd be ready to throw in the towel on the team or the staff at this point. In lacrosse these types of games happen. If you run up on a match up that doesn't stack up well for your style or personel, that team can give you plenty of trouble. This is still a "young" team in that they still have to learn how to win these types of games. Win road games, close games, games against top notch opponents or games where faceoffs or penalties don't go your way. Last year we just started to learn to win the easy ones. Now we need to learn the tough ones. [Title]

Output: Jax


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 11 hours ago [Body] Started with the face off penalty in the 2nd quarter, then the inability to win a faceoff in the 3rd really hurt them. Faceoffs have been trouble all year, and is really something that could have helped stop the runs in the 3rd quarter. Beyond that we don't seem to winning any of the 50/50 balls and too many careless turnovers on offense. The guys need to learn how to play up tempo without the turnovers. [Title]

Output: Yep


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 5 days ago [Body] If he's playing in the NFL, I'd prefer he play for the lions rather than against them, assuming he's affordable. [Title]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Could be interesting as a "practice helmet". The lacrosse team uses practice helmets, and gets a new design each year. The winged helmet is only for special occassions such as game days. [Title]

Output: Not bad


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 14 hours ago [Body] Never underestimate the power of Michigan fans to vote for Michigan in online polls! Although only 1 other player had 8 points last weekend, so pretty darn good regardless. [Title]

Output: Fan voting


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Yep, I agree, you should be able to get tickets, but definitely plan on arriving early. I was there 50 minutes early yesterday, and we got some of the last sideline seats. There were seats behind the goals. Game will not be televised. The building is too small to put a camera up high. An upset could be possible if this team gets hot and plays well, which they are capable of in that building. Notre Dame is traditionally pretty good on defense and ball control, so I'm excited to see how we measure up. [Title]

Output: tickets


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 3 days ago [Body] The Ohio state game will be on ESPNU. I think some games might be on BTN too when the big ten schedule starts. [Title]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Seeing it in person really made me believe in this team. I wasn't sure if last week was a fluke since I only saw the score, but Michigan was clearly better today. This team is a significant step up from last year. We are dangerous on offense, and not just one or two middies but all 6 guys. Great ball movement, athletes able to reliably draw a slide and more stick skills than we've ever had. You will see quite a few pretty goals in the highlights. The defense looked markedly better too. 6 goals, but 1-2 were on EMO and a couple were just mental lapses on cuts near the crease. Our D middies and poles held up really well and often times didn't even have to slide. We are still young though, and haven't played top 20 teams yet, so I will be interested to see how those games go later this year. Face offs started well but then Detroit seemed to have an advantage. Consistency there will be important. This should be a fun year to watch this team grow! [Title]

Output: I went


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 3 days ago [Body] This was a big win for this team. Great job pulling away in the second half and winning the 3rd quarter. Scoring from quite a few different guys and a nice improvement over last year. I'm excited for the UDM game next week. Taking my wife on Valentine's day. And what a huge win for them today too, beating Ohio state. This might be a pretty evenly matched game next week. [Title]

Output: Great win


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 1 day ago [Body] They are by far the most readily available. Employers use them when recruiting (they can't go to every school). High school students use them to determine where to go to college, and thus more qualified/accomplished students end up going to those higher ranked schools. [Title]

Output: Absolutely important


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Yes, Lax was added because the lacrosse alumni and parents paid for it to be added. Most of the money came from just a few donors, but enough money was raised to endow the program. The athletic department "matched" the donations by adding women's lacrosse. Donors also funded a significant portion of the new facility, although I have much less insight into that. Some of the money probably came from the Stephen Ross donation. Playing in the big house is pretty cool, and the guys will still probably get a chance to do so once per year after/before the football spring game, but the lax facilities are expected to be the best in the country. This helps with recruiting, as the team is starting to haul in some top-10 classes. The kids believe the university is committed to this new sport and they are putting their money where their mouth is. For such a new program, recruiting classes that highly ranked is an incredible accomplishment. Lacrosse teams carry usually 45-50 kids, and the average kid gets about a 1/4 scholarship. As the incremental cost of having another kid in a classroom is quite low, and the kid is on average paying 75% of the tuition, the scholarships are not quite as expensive to the university as you'd think. [Title]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Good to see SI pick this up, although I wish it was the full story, which you can actually read on mgoblue.com. The funny thing is that since we are well into 2018 recruiting, I half thought this was serious when they said a 2023 kid. [Title]

Output: S.I.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Agree completely. The fact that he can't consistently win 50/50 balls makes me wonder about him being ready for the NFL. If he can't do that at this level, I don't see him being a 1st round pick. [Title]

Output: Agreed


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I was curious if the numbers this team is putting up would indicate improvement over the season, or regression. I'd love to see some stats pointing to this team getting better over the year (maybe yards per carry), and maybe give me some hope for next year. It does look like if you ignore App State since they are just terrible, that from ND on, there is a slight upward trend. But probably nothing significant if you account for quality of opponent. [Title]

Output: Trend


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 15 hours ago [Body] Some sports had donors set up an endowment to fund the sport. Certainly most though. [Title]

Output: Not all


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I've been saying for a few weeks that his play doesn't merit a 1st round pick. At this point, he hasn't shown much other than being a freak athlete. He isn't a great blocker, has quite a few drops, looks like he takes plays off or in this case doesn't know the play all together. And what should be a strength, jump balls, just don't seem to get thrown his way. 2 offensive coordinators and almost no jump balls. Borges would just toss it up to Hemingway or Roundtree, but really didn't for Funchess. I actually wonder if he has good "ball skills" while the ball is in the air or if it's Gardner. [Title]

Output: Funchess


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Glad that didn't turn out to be true. I think the report of "not back next year" was taken incorrectly. [Title]

Output: Good find


Input: [Date] 3 days 15 hours ago [Title] I agree that we need more than 4 [Body]

Output: I think the ideal number is either 6 (with two teams on a bye the first round) or 8 teams. I don't see them expanding it any further that that. 64 teams is just plain insane.

Input: [Date] 18 weeks 4 days ago [Title] nope not all of us [Body]

Output: I prefer Adidas


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 4 days ago [Title] i guess I'm the only one [Body]

Output: but I prefer Adidas, not just the color. I never understood the clamor for nike... For all the UNIFORMZ complainging they still looked better than that pro combat crap. To me it always seemed like People complained about something/things that were going to happen anyway... we were going to be bad in 2008/09/10 regardless of who our apparel contract was with, and we were going to get stupid special uniforms regardless of whether it was Adidas or Nike. As far as the UNIFORMZ go, I've always thought of Adidas as the lesser of two evils. I just feel like Adidas got the contract at the wrong time and have gotten a bad rap for it. Maybe I'm wrong, just one man's opinion. /soapbox rant

Input: [Date] 20 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I actually liked Le Chiffre [Body]

Output: He certainly wasn't the best Bond villain, but doesn't belong on this list in my opinion. Seriously I doubt anyone would be smiling much if caught in his position. The only issues I see with him as a Bond villain is that he has more of an air of desperation about him. Also his intimidation factor stems from nothing about him but the organization for which he works. He's not the scary boss of a multinational criminal organization, he's a broker for one.


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 3 days ago [Title] friendships died that way [Body]

Output: My parents enforced the no Oddjob rule when my brother and I would play. So I was always Trevelyan and he was Natalya or Xenia. Proximity mine matches were the shit


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm fully aware that the [Body]

Output: I'm fully aware that the standards are different than those within the legal system, within that policy there is room for exactly the response outlined above. Suspend the guy from university grounds and functions until such time as he's proven to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. You can still work within the universities standards without jumping to expulsion immediately. "Students, faculty and staff found to be in violation of this policy will be subject to discipline up to and including termination, expulsion or other appropriate institutional sanctions; affiliates and program participants may be removed from University programs and/or prevented from returning to campus." It looks, however that in this case the student in question removed himself from the university making the argument moot with regards to this specific case. Had this been the actions of Stanford I would argue that the previously suggested response (suspend him then expell him pending a preponderance of evidence) is a far more appropriate response. Imagine a scenario wherein someone is falsely accused of rape; the standard response would be immediate expulsion without allowing due process.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 2 days ago [Title] ok, so then he gets suspended [Body]

Output: Pending a trial where he ends up being found guilty. If he was caught red handed there ought to be enough evidence to prove his guilt and he would then be expelled- but after due process. That's how this is supposed to work.

Output: its not the first time this ducking thing has led to a misunderstanding


Input: [Date] 2 hours 14 min ago [Title] You're saying the NFL was [Body]

Output: You're saying the NFL was offered a spreadsheet conveniently put together by Brady's agents, on which they'd have to take the agents' word it was complete and accurate, and in order to find out what was on Brady's cell phone, they could instead track down multiple other cell phones and check off items on the spreadsheet? And that's a perfectly reasonable alternative to just spending 10 minutes scrolling through Brady's phone? Sorry, defending that approach is a stretch beyond stretches. All this fuck-Goodell outrage pretty much ignores the fact that Brady basically just broke into the Watergate hotel.


Input: [Date] 17 hours 40 min ago [Title] I hate your idea of suing [Body]

Output: I hate your idea of suing because I don't want to sit here for three years watching some godawful lawsuit wend its way through the courts while ESPN breathlessly reports on every stupid motion and argument and filing in existence. I just upvoted for the Few Good Men reference.


Input: [Date] 17 hours 43 min ago [Title] Yes, they can, but from the [Body]

Output: Yes, they can, but from the phone company, which would probably never give them up short of anything but a legal subpoena. To the NFL, they're as unrecoverable as if I called up AT&T and said, hey, give me so-and-so's stored-up text messages.


Input: [Date] 21 hours 49 min ago [Title] Today in Awkwardly Worded [Body]

Output: Today in Awkwardly Worded Headlines: it's good to know Tuskegee has finally gotten out from the oppressive shadow that is Dennis Norfleet.


Input: [Date] 1 day 20 hours ago [Title] Nay to Vanderbilt. Doesn't [Body]

Output: Nay to Vanderbilt. Doesn't pass the saltwater test. Close but no cigar, they're closer to Mobile Bay than to Lake Michigan. If you're closer to salt water than to a Great Lake, no Big Ten for you. That rule if actually enacted would've saved the Big Ten a lot of trouble.


Input: [Date] 2 days 10 hours ago [Title] Where have you been the last [Body]

Output: Where have you been the last 60 or 70 years?


Input: [Date] 4 days 18 hours ago [Title] How did we get this far into [Body]

Output: How did we get this far into the discussion and not mention the impact of Dave Brandon Junior on this whole thing? Sounds to me like Saban to Texas could've been done quite easily until Patterson pissed off his agent.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] My all-time favorite band, [Body]

Output: My all-time favorite band, playing one of their very best songs:


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] And in most cases that's a [Body]

Output: And in most cases that's a good thing. Here, maybe not, I just really like the very chill vibe of the studio version, but Billy Preston is killing it anyway and the whole band is as '70s as '70s can be, so hey.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] TMNT while it was on, then [Body]

Output: TMNT while it was on, then Animaniacs. Definitely some Animaniacs.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] I like the non-live version [Body]

Output: I like the non-live version of this song better than live, it's a bit more laid-back, but the OP said live, so I'll be obliging.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] I like this game. It's a [Body]

Output: I like this game. It's a great deal more memorable than pretty much any other game that year. Hell of a lot more interesting than your basic run of the mill 24-10 win.

Output: If you like the Garcia page, also read up on Operation Mincemeat. In general the whole story of intelligence during WWII is fascinating. The Brits absolutely ran circles around the Germans throughout the whole war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mincemeat

Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] Amazon's a retail company [Body]

Output: Amazon's a retail company like any other retail company. Which means they hype up sales to try and generate, you know, sales. Probably 100 years ago Sears or Montgomery Ward or Hudson's would have these big posters up advertising a sale and people would walk out going, "I say, old bean, that was a dilly of a letdown." Why anyone expects Amazon to be magically different because it's an Internet company and start selling $50 TVs is beyond me.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] The change from calling it [Body]

Output: The change from calling it Big Jim's is a really recent development, so I don't know all that much about it.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] Nobody from UVA ever said UVA [Body]

Output: Nobody from UVA ever said UVA had the "largest mall in the country." Just the only one that's a World Heritage Site.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] The interesting thing to me [Body]

Output: The interesting thing to me about the Craig Ross blurb is this: Ross said he wished Franklin and Leach threw the ball more (and better) - which is basically RR's offense. Thus the highly ironic and idiotic nature of whatever boogeymen were out there during the RR era, pining for the good old days. Ever since Bo left, the offense we've run that bears the absolute least resemblance to Bo's offense..... is Lloyd Carr's! Lloyd's model was to find a bazooka statue and have him either give to the RB or shoot off rockets. I figure this is partly because Harbaugh showed what could be done with a QB with passing skills, and that combined with that being the direction the world was moving anyway, convinced Bo's successors to go find strong-armed QBs. Thus, Grbac, Navarre, Henne, etc. Bo's offense would've had little use for John Navarre; RR would never have recruited him.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] I gotta admit....Pluto is a [Body]

Output: I gotta admit....Pluto is a cool-looking ball of rock. I did kinda think maybe it could be re-planetized. But putting Pluto back in the planet category is kind of like adding Rutgers to the Big Ten. Sure, Scarlet Knights is a cool nickname, and Rutgers was great back in the day....way back in the day. But they don't bring anything and they mess up the symmetry and if you think Rutgers is worthy of being in the Big Ten then why not dozens of other programs? Besides, neat as Pluto looks, there are some moons in this solar system that look way cooler. If that's the only criterion I propose Callisto as a planet. It hasn't managed to get rid of Jupiter from its orbit around the sun, but I don't know how you could turn down a giant floating disco ball.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] Grounds grounds grounds [Body]

Output: Grounds grounds grounds grounds grounds. It's not a campus. Or, it's a campus that's called grounds.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] May I humbly suggest you take [Body]

Output: May I humbly suggest you take an hour or two and walk around the UVA grounds. It really is worth the experience. I don't think they'd be doing tours in the summer, but you never know. Also, Monticello isn't the only presidential mansion in the area; someone mentioned Montpelier which is maybe 30 minutes away, and Ash Lawn-Highland is the house of James Monroe and right next door to Monticello. Actually there are two former houses belonging to Monroe in the area; one is smack in the middle of the UVA grounds.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 22 hours ago [Title] I'm not letting Brandon off [Body]

Output: I'm not letting Brandon off the hook for hiring a coach that required an expensive firing. He made the choice and he signed the contracts.

Output: And yet Dave Brandon left behind a deficit.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Yep....Martin is actually one [Body]

Output: Yep....Martin is actually one of the hardy souls racing the Supermac, a once-a-decade-or-so race from Chicago to Port Huron (or vice versa, depending.) Over 500 miles, and then Stripes will turn around and do the regular Port Huron race.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] If everything comes to [Body]

Output: If everything comes to fruition - never a safe assumption but things do seem to be rolling - the whole thing will work out brilliantly, I think. That's a huge empty space separating Midtown and downtown. The project as designed would be a huge, huge link, not to mention bringing very badly needed residential development to an area absolutely screaming for it. I don't know about the JLA site development, it sounded like a lot of wishful thinking, but it'd be great if they actually did build a 30-story skyscraper there, especially if that too was part residential.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Let's be clear: The new Wings [Body]

Output: Let's be clear: The new Wings arena isn't being financed with public money in the same sense these other stadiums generally are. I outlined this in another thread, but the "public portion" of the Wings arena is Downtown Development Authority money. DDA money is required by state law to be spent on economic development downtown. The DDA is financed by property taxes - but only that portion of property tax above the property's assessment prior to inclusion in the DDA. In other words, a parcel's taxable value before inclusion was X, when it was included it became X+Y, and Y is taken by the DDA to support downtown economic development - which again, by state law, is the only allowable purpose. X continues to go to the city for police and streetlights and whatever. This is why the DDA is called quasi-public. It's basically a homeowner's association for downtown businesses. And the DDA, by the way, will own the arena. This is a far cry different from the usual public funding mechanisms. The DDA exists precisely to fund things like this. And Oliver is not being honest by not noting the difference.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Frankly, in the case of this [Body]

Output: Frankly, in the case of this project, people who hate public funding of stadiums should be cheering the new Wings arena up and down the block. The bonds issued to pay for this thing are being paid back by the Ilitches and the DDA - NOT "Detroit taxpayers" which seems to be what fronts all the headlines. The Downtown Development Authority is more akin to a homeowners' association than anything, except its members are downtown businesses, and it's them who will pick up half the tab. It is most emphatically not being paid for by city residents. The DDA is funded by property taxes paid by downtown businesses, but only that portion of property tax above and beyond the value that the property would be assessed at if it wasn't in the DDA. And since state law requires that money go to economic development in the area, the arena is a more than logical use of the funds. Oh, and the DDA will own the arena, not the Ilitches.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Old proverb-like substance [Body]

Output: Old proverb-like substance says you can have a product three ways: good, fast, or cheap, but you can only get two of the three. Little Caesar's is the only pizza place where you can get fast and cheap. I don't care if it's not gourmet. It's still a hell of a deal.


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. [Title]

Output: i think it would have to be


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Body] and i think a lot of this comes from something that drives me crazy as a football fan. basically once a player with the ball gets beyond the linebackers, tackling is no longer involved. how many times do you see DBs shoulder block a guy catching a ball near him, 90+%? if the guys actually wrapped their arms around and tackled i think just that in itself could take away some of the helmet to face you see so much of [Title]

Output: and i think a lot of this

Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] this needs to be kept on the front page somewhere, even if it's just the date somewhere to avoid the hundreds of threads between now and April asking if anyone knows when the game is. [Title]

Output: Keep on the front page


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Body] i'm from NC and absolutely can't stand duke and i know they'll lose a handfull of games this year but i seriously doubt this will be one of those [Title]

Output: a lot like i tell my daughter


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Body] as far as sports go The Show is the best baseball game out there. i haven't played this years because i have last years and there really wasn't much new that mattered to me. NHL is always a solid choice as far as sports go as well. like someone said above, Red Dead Redemption can be found in game of the year edition for around $20 and you can waste away so many hours of your life on. this, just like the show, is more so a single player game IMO but NHL is a blast online but has some good offline features as well. [Title]

Output: For sports


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Body] i'm not going to lie and say that didn't bring a little tear to the eyes. it's great hearing about how these guys who are really still kids themselves putting in the time with kids who i'd imagine just want to forget where they are and why for just a little while. this was a great story about two great people, very nice [Title]

Output: not going to lie


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Body] i ask because i honestly don't know any better but i looked at dead period and quiet period rules and i didn't see anything regarding statements from the university or anything like that as being a rules violation, only against contact beyond "hello" to recruits. what am i missing as far as any rules being broken? [Title]

Output: i ask because i honestly


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] i don't know if i can go against ND. all season long i've pulled against them and hoped for them to lose, even as recently as last week when it was basically a 3-way tie at the top. BUT, now that it's this week and if ND loses it will in all likelihood be an all SEC NC game again, i'm more so pulling against that than a ND win. i dislike brian kelly and basically the whole ND team but as a college football fan i have gained a lot of respect for Manti Te'o as a football player and as a human this season, so in a way i rationalize it that way i guess. [Title]

Output: i don't know...


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Body] it's unbelieveable how much they believe it. i talked to a couple last night and one swears about how he knows someone that ran into someone that would know and he said it's a done deal, so it's gotta be the truth. the other tells me about how it was a done deal last week but when you ask why they haven't just come out and said it, this time it's because the MNF deal won't let them announce it until the last monday night game this season, which makes absolutely no sense to at all, but i'm a michigan fan so what do i know. [Title]

Output: it's unbelieveable how much

Output: USA Today is doing their best


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Body] i'm not so certain i would "vote" for the voiding of a LOI in the event of a coaching change. you hear all the time that players should commit to the school and not the coach, even though you can't blame an 18 yr old kid for getting attached to people that schmooze him and tell him everything he wants to hear for commiting to the coach rather than the school. i think if nothing else any school that's being investigated by the NCAA and there is even a slight possibility there may be a head coaching change coming because of said investigations, it might keep some players available to other schools by knowing that if they sign the LOI and the coach that offered and promised them more than other schools gets canned they're stuck there and won't be so fast to pull the trigger [Title]

Output: i'm not so certain i would


Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Body] I think one other thing that makes a difference is how ESPN likes to tell everyone over and over that the SEC is the best and toughest conference. If you're an 18 yr old kid and you know that you're going to be seen by more people around the country by playing in the SEC because ESPN is going to show the majority of their games and you'll get even more face time on Sportscenter then why wouldn't you want to go there if exposure is one of the big things you're looking for. This I think helps funnel the players to the SEC more so than the other conferences as a whole, perception becomes reality. [Title]

Output: I think one other thing that


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Body] Yes Congratulations Tom and Ms. VH since she did most of the work up to this point. If only baby VH could have held out until tomorrow he would have the same bday as me. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 33 weeks ago [Body] that stadium is literally less than 10 miles from my house and the field always looks that way. during the summer they use it as a race track and they have demolition derbys and all kinds of what not there that destroys the field. but you're right, you'd think they could do a little more to make the field at least playable on. [Title]

Output: that stadium is literally


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Body] bad thing is it probably will happen with how much espn and all the other press and media love them some SEC. i was pissed when alabama and lsu jumped oklahoma despite the sooners not losing or even having close games as far as i recall [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Body] i'll take the blame for this one too, i gave up the traditional #1 jersey for a new M hoodie. it was so soft and comforting i couldn't not wear it. the question i have about that is should i have washed it first before wearing the first time, could that have made the difference. it will definately be washed before next saturday and IF i choose to wear it again an M loses, then anyone want a free hoodie? [Title]

Output: i'll take the blame for this


Input: [Date] 3 years 39 weeks ago [Body] i'm not really sure of a way that this could be of use and i'm sure most of you have seen this but it still makes me laugh. maybe you could put it somewhere in the money. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Body] i'm hoping for a huge dose of toussaint this year, he absolutely kills in NCAA 11 and 12 so that means he can do it for real right? Fitz has always been one i've been very excited to see what he can do with the chance [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Body] i have played the show since 09 and like you purchased a PS3 specifically for the show. i never really got into the pitching much on the previous versions because i could never truely control where the pitches went, they would be close but consistancy is what frustrated me. the meter pitching is wonderful this year, you have much more control over up, down, left and right with the ball. as others have said, the point system is so much better also. you don't usually rack up 150 points in one game, mostly when hitting, like you could easily do in previous versions but you don't get a fail on certain challenges because of the dumbass computer baserunners, you still get points for good contact, timing and/or working the pitch count. as much as it's still the same game, the minor tweaks were a great improvment. and yes the commentating is terrible as a lot of people say but the have some funny lines every now and then. [Title]

Output: go buy it


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Body] i always thought that with all the prep work tate did to become a top qb he may have been pretty close to his ceiling as a freshman while denard was so raw his ceiling was so far away. tate was as good as you could have expected as a true freshman but maybe there just wasn't that much room for improvement as far as his capabilities. i still wish the kid well though.

Input: [Date] 6 days 20 hours ago [Body] Not sure I get your point. By definition, all 5th years have redshirted. Why does it matter whether the redshirt was for injury or otherwise? Also, how do you differentiate between injury and not - physically unable to participate in 12 games, 8 games, 2 games, 4 practices...? [Title]

Output: Not sure I get your point.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] Turnovers can also be an effect of winning and losing, not just a cause. If you are losing and time is becoming a factor, you might start calling riskier plays and embrace a higher likelihood of turning the ball over. Conversly, if you're winning, you might call more conservative plays with a lower probability of turning the ball over. [Title]

Output: Turnovers can also be an

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I well written reasoned response, but hit much broader point than I made. My only point was cutting (getting rid of them because they are not good enough at football) someone the day before NSD is not really different than cutting someone after. I didn't say that someone was actually cut in OSUs case, nor did I comment on whether the circumstances in OSUs case were (or were not) appropriate. [Title]

Output: I well written reasoned


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] You're mixing the particulars of the OSU case into what was supposed to be a general statement. If a kid is cut (that is let go simply because he wasn't good enough at football, regardless of the official reason) so to make room to add another kid, it shouldn't matter that timing of that occuring. I DID NOT SAY that OSU cut the kid, nor did I say that the medical was inappropriate. You seem to be defending against assertations that weren't made. Oh yea, and get off Urban's dick. [Title]

Output: You're mixing the particulars


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Hard to say whether this was done to make room on the team or because of a medical issue. But, wouldn't it be nice to have better scholarship rules so that incentives aren't created for pushing guys off the team. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I don't buy the timing implication that it would be okay to cut him before signing day, but not after. If you're cutting someone to make room for someone else, why should it matter whether the new person is officially in the fold or not. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 day 16 hours ago [Body] It is very odd to me that very soon we will be/already are recruiting guys who were born after the 90s. BORN AFTER THE YEAR 1999! Anyway. I have no valuable insight, just thought I'd make myself feel old. [Title]

Output: It is very odd to me that


Input: [Date] 1 day 23 hours ago [Body] You've just described 99% of ESPN/DetNews/Freep content relating to college football. [Title]

Output: You've just described 99% of


Input: [Date] 2 days 20 hours ago [Body] I wouldn't want my opponents to directly be able to evaluate a potential target if I could help it. [Title]

Output: Re: not taking reps


Input: [Date] 3 days 17 hours ago [Body] You still haven't given a reason that they shouldn't exist, other than you don't like them. [Title]

Output: This is all well and good, but


Input: [Date] 3 days 20 hours ago [Body] Right. I'm not talking about recruiting in particular. Every time there is a uniform reveal video, the players go nuts. I don't really think any level-headed recruit would base his decision off of alternate uniforms. However, that wasn't the point I was trying to get across. The players on the team seem to love them. The only argument I've seen against alternate unis is that crotchety old fans don't like them. That's not a strong argument, if you ask me. [Title]

Output: Right. I'm not talking about


Input: [Date] 3 days 22 hours ago [Body] I really doubt that this will happen for a few reasons: a) The NCAA doesn't care enough to do what you're proposing. b) Alternate jerseys are a huge promotion tool and money maker (as we've seen by the number of posts on this site). c) The players who actually, you know, play the game, seem to love them. So why not let them wear them? For the record, I'm not supporting the jerseyz trend, but I do think that a draconian approach to banning them is all around pointless and unnecessary. [Title]

Output: I really doubt that this will


Input: [Date] 5 days 10 hours ago [Body] Makes total sense. Having 2 of those QBs sit the bench would be a waste. [Title]

Output: Makes total sense. Having 2


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] The best shows I've been to were Tool in '06 and Muse in '12. I won't claim them to be the best in 30 years, but they were pretty damn good. [Title]

Output: The best shows I've been to


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] The only thing that's contrived is the giant microscope the media has put on Harbaugh. Any other coach's daily tweets constantly in the headlines would look contrived, too. [Title]

Output: The only thing that's


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Body] This poll is flawed because Wisconsin is not last. God, their uniforms are ugly. [Title]

Output: This poll is flawed because

Output: Ahh, a fellow sauce man. I


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Am I the only person who has no idea what is going on here? [Title]

Output: Am I the only person who has


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Why do a lot of Michigan fans staunchly support a noon kickoff, other than "tradition?" Who honestly cares if the game starts at noon or 3:30? All I care about is The Game itself. [Title]

Output: Why do a lot of Michigan fans


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Why wouldn't you? Pipkins' scholarship does absolutely nothing for this team. It'd be different if Pipkins had more eligibility left, but there is no motive here for Harbaugh to push him off the team for any reason other than health. [Title]

Output: Why wouldn't you? Pipkins'


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Whatever happened to him? I always suspected he was a troll. [Title]

Output: Whatever happened to him? I


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] And here is where we separate who wants results and who wants to make everyone feel warm and fuzzy all the time. [Title]

Output: And here is where we separate


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's a wallaby, not a kangaroo. Source: been to Australia twice. [Title]

Output: I could be wrong, but I'm


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Body] They have at least been decent over the last ten years, which is more than we can say for all but 2, maybe 3 of those years. And it's not like we've done anything yet under Harbaugh [Title]

Output: They have at least been


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I don't think anyone is saying that a less intelligent guy can't be better than a smart guy at QB. But your logic doesn't hold up when you pick Blaine Gabbert and use him as an example as why intelligence doesn't matter. I know a ton of very smart people that would make an absolutely terrible NFL QB. However, assuming all things equal except intelligence, you can't tell me you wouldn't pick the more intelligent QB every time. He is only saying that Harbaugh highly values intelligence in QB selection, which is probably a good strategy, in my opinion. [Title]

Output: I don't think anyone is


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Gore is a running back, which arguably doesn't require as much intelligence. I think the point he's making is valid, but he overstepped when inferring that it applied to all players, rather than just QBs. [Title]

Output: Gore is a running back, which


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Sure, if you measure success by money made. Which was the whole problem with Brandon and his cronies. What a bunch of narcissistic assholes. [Title]

Output: Sure, if you measure success


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Shit, I don't think I listen to any artists younger than 30. Why do rappers fall off the map like that, and not other musicians? [Title]

Output: Shit, I don't think I listen


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Remember when we lost to Rutgers? God, the last few years have sucked. [Title]

Output: Remember when we lost to


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I mean, if we have to choose between football with funny looking helmets, and no football at all, I'm taking the funny looking helmets. [Title]

Output: I mean, if we have to choose


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Well the site would work fine if you weren't trying to access it, ever think of that? [Title]

Output: Well the site would work fine


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 10 hours ago [Body] I used to be a "regular" in the comments section of the ESPN Big 10 blog - there was a whole group of people there who would be on pretty much every day just hanging out, rarely talking about football. Eventually a user shows up who by her username purports to be a female Michigan fan. She also became a regular. We would talk and kind of flirt in the comments, so we became a "thing," at least in the scope of the blog. Eventually, the Manti Teo thing happened, and people started making jokes about whether or not she was actually a girl. So jokingly, I asked her, "you're not catfishing me are you?" So she sent me a private message with her twitter handle as proof that she is indeed a female. I don't have twitter, so I responded by giving her my google+ info as collateral, since I now knew who she was, and it would be unfair for me to know that and her to not know who I was, since we interacted with a bunch of fairly insane people on the internet every day. Once that happened, we both showed up in each other's gchat lists (neither of us knew that would happen), and we started chatting on there. One thing led to another, and now we are engaged! [Title]

Output: I used to be a "regular" in


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 12 hours ago [Body] Hey, I met my fiance on the ESPN comments section. No, I'm not joking. [Title]

Output: Hey, I met my fiance on the


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 18 hours ago [Body] To which time period are you referring, when human morals were better than they are now? Things are not worse than they've ever been, please don't be ignorant of our history as a species. [Title]

Output: "Morals as a human race have sunk"


Input: [Date] 1 year 10 weeks ago [Title] Start hammering us? [Body]

Output: We are 2-11 vs Ohio State in the past 13 years and 1-5 vs MSU the past 6 and expected to lose to both again this year. I think it's already started.


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Title] Not desperation just smart roster building [Body]

Output: from a smart head coach. Beilein didn't originally anticipate this staff would start churning kids out to the league after 2 years. He doesn't want to get caught with a bare roster again. And as much as we all get caught up in the recruiting hype because we see the instant impact it has in bball, it is unrealistic to think that we are going to real in a 5 man class full of studs. Most of the elite kids aren't recruitable because one way or another they are getting something we won't offer. There will still be plenty of scholarships available but not we also have a good base of kids who should be here to fill out the roster, like spike, and possibly overlooked kids who can really blossom under this staff, like Caris. Who by the way was a May committ.


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Title] I love the in denial Michigan fan [Body]

Output: I know in response I'll just get called a clost sparty because that's how the world of tough internet guys works but the idea that the only reason they are a force on defense is because they cheat is beyond ridiculous. Coaches areamongst the most competitive people in the world. If MSU's schemes and defenders weren't elite and it was just clutching and grabbing every other school would be doing this. It's like the people that try to say Beilein and company aren't elite and we just jack 3s, Give credit to coaches who are elite at what they do. It's embarrassing to try to make excuses instead of tipping your hat.


Input: [Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Title] Show me the seniors on the o-line that can play [Body]

Output: like the seniors on the d-line did in 2011 and I'll believe


Input: [Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Title] I would agree if [Body]

Output: they hadn't weakened the starting rotation while also not upgrading the bullpen. Good news is the division is embarrassingly awful and the tigers have elite talent so they will easily win it and from there the playoffs are a crapshoot and they have verlander and scherzer to potentially ride to a ring. But they need to add some bullpen pieces and sign stephen drew after the summer draft or find a ss elsehwere for the whole defense/baserunning upgrade to really show from last season in my opinion.


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Title] I think players should be able to benefit [Body]

Output: but it becomes tricky because if players can take money from boosters then recruiting becomes even messier than it already is. Sign here and we guarantee a booster will buy your autographed picture fo x dollars


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Title] One unlucky 1 seed is going to get OK State on their 8/9 line [Body]

Output: Hope it's not us


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Title] It's my fault [Body]

Output: I've been stocking that for good memories a lot recently. Watched sweet 16 Kansas game last night. I appreciate it man.


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Title] I thought it was common knowledge every team in the country [Body]

Output: Is 100% healthy every season except Izzo's?


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Title] 2012 Buckeye game [Body]


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] I didn't realize they hang banners for "getting nothing" [Body]

Output: If this is how you honestly feel about the best basketball season the program has had in 20 years I feel extremely sorry for you


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Title] That's the equivalent of saying you can't play prevent defense [Body]

Output: in football when the other team has the ball at midfield with time for one play left because it isn't how you would normally defend a play. Interesting idea but I don't agree.


Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Title] No fake punt fear in the special teams section? [Body]

Output: I mean we gave one up to them last year in the 4th quarter when that was pretty much the only way they could come back and score


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Mods on rivals [Body]

Output: posted that they told campbell they were full at wr after not knowing who he was which amused him and the only interest they had in scott is at db


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Title] They weren't there for Campbell [Body]

Output: Still seems weird you wouldn't know about a recruit that talented but it's not like they suddenly forgot why they were there. They wanted to see if Cole was solid or if there was still a chance.


Input: [Date] 4 years 10 weeks ago [Title] It says 141 [Body]

Output: For the MSU game. But that can't be right either because there can't be 39 days in between the opener and MSU. It has to be a multiple of 7


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] 1999 [Body]

Output: Good early win over ND 26-22, tough win on the road over Wisconsin, terrific comeback down 10 at Penn St in the 4th, Brady to Quise with about 5 minutes left to beat OSU, OT win over Bama for our only BCS win, not bad...


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] I don't think [Body]

Output: anyone is on the hokey pokey bandwagon here except in a "screw you we aren't going to sink to the level of the freep and other quasi michigan fans who actively tried to get RR fired" sort of way we all want michigan to win big, this seems like a win medium move but whatever we'll see how it goes


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Ha [Body]

Output: I made the same mistake because i didn't trust rodgers staying in if he got hit again. Even better i ALSO had freeman on my bench as an option and went kitna.


Input: [Date] 4 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Don't Forget [Body]

Output: Harbaugh


Input: [Date] 4 years 34 weeks ago [Title] He's Not [Body]

Output: Going to be back. Not my personal feelings it just makes no sense for DB not to announce he is coming back while all the speculation builds and recruits jump ship. And if DB is too dumb to realize that then we have a whole new set of problems.


Input: [Date] 4 years 34 weeks ago [Title] I'm Not [Body]

Output: Rooting one way or another since at this point i am confused and can rattle off a lot off good reasons to keep RR and a lot of good reasons to bring in Harbaugh. But isn't it pretty obvious that DB wants Harbaugh? It doesn't make any sense not to say RR is staying if he wants him to stay. Either he wants Harbaugh but doesn't know if he can get him or he knows Harbaugh is coming but they didn't want to blow things up before Stanford's first big bowl in over a decade.


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] National Championships [Body]

Output: Can we please stop using national titles as the criteria by which to determine whether you are rooting for a change or want RR to stay. We won a title in 97. That was our first in 50 years. We are not a powerhouse program that rolls of national titles left and right and we never have been. We need a coach who can consistently compete for big ten titles Whoever that is is who we need whether you think that is RR or Harbaugh but to say you don't want Harbaugh because that will condemn us to going 9-3 and 10-2 all the time but never 12-0 is just stupid. I don't know if you have been under a rock the last 3 years but i would kill for 9-3 right about now.


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] I don't think [Body]

Output: RR doesn't emphasize the game or understand its importance. I just think he is fully aware of how outmatched we are and that it would have a negative impact on the kids and the program to go into these games shouting off about hating OSU and having to win this game and then get blasted.


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

Output: Is a moron. Everything he has said in the past 5-10 years I remember ever accidentally hearing him speak is stupid. I am amazed he can monkey a keyboard well enough to cobble together columns that would be embarrassing for an 8th grader to turn in. I don't think Tressell is concerned about coaching a specific way to beat us and make sure RR doesn't get fired. It's not like he was struggling before RR took over. Things like that really make me scared to live in a world where people like that are allowed to do anything that would possibly influence people. I don't think I am overstating that.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] It's based off current [Body]

Output: It's based off current standings and MSU hasn't had its off week yet so they have a half game on OSU and Wisc and Iowa at 5-1 compared to the 4-1 conference records of the other 3


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] If OSU [Body]

Output: beats Iowa then Wisc and OSU will go to the BCS and sparty can enjoy their one breakthrough year landing them in the capital one bowl


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Not That Many Choices This Week [Body]

Output: The week of THE GAME also features Oregon-Zona and Auburn-Bama


Input: [Date] 4 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Wow [Body]

Output: It would be embarrassing to give an extension to a guy who is 13-19 in 2+ seasons at a school used to competing for conference championships. If you are saying it still leaves the out to fire him after the season then what is the point? A lot of recruits will decommit if he is fired even if the quasi 2 year extension made them feel better right now. And if you believe he can turn it around with help from a whole new d coaching staff then the move is simply to not fire him.


Input: [Date] 4 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Seriously? [Body]

Output: The defense is terrible and RR seems like he may have been a step behind in realizing that and addressing it in recruiting as he focuses on the offense. If Brandon doesn't think RR can turn the defense around he should fire him. If he does then he should keep him. But please don't waste time trying to make the argument that RR should have tried to run an offense he is not familiar with, with 2 bad QBS, a terrible O-Line, no WRS and no healthy RBs. That 2008 offense was going to be terrible regardless, and in case you hadn't noticed, Michigan is averaging 35 points a game and 30 in Big Ten Play. Offense is not the problem.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] i think it would have to be [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] and i think a lot of this [Body]

Output: and i think a lot of this comes from something that drives me crazy as a football fan. basically once a player with the ball gets beyond the linebackers, tackling is no longer involved. how many times do you see DBs shoulder block a guy catching a ball near him, 90+%? if the guys actually wrapped their arms around and tackled i think just that in itself could take away some of the helmet to face you see so much of


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] time to start letting it go [Body]

Output: time to start letting it go man


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] Keep on the front page [Body]

Output: this needs to be kept on the front page somewhere, even if it's just the date somewhere to avoid the hundreds of threads between now and April asking if anyone knows when the game is.


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] i'm from NC and absolutely [Body]

Output: i'm from NC and absolutely can't stand duke and i know they'll lose a handfull of games this year but i seriously doubt this will be one of those


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] a lot like i tell my daughter [Body]

Output: a lot like i tell my daughter almost daily, don't get yourself in that position to where you can get caught up in something bad. either way it's a very unfortunate situation for all three to be in with their futures potentially changed forever.


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] For sports [Body]

Output: as far as sports go The Show is the best baseball game out there. i haven't played this years because i have last years and there really wasn't much new that mattered to me. NHL is always a solid choice as far as sports go as well. like someone said above, Red Dead Redemption can be found in game of the year edition for around $20 and you can waste away so many hours of your life on. this, just like the show, is more so a single player game IMO but NHL is a blast online but has some good offline features as well.


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Title] not going to lie [Body]

Output: i'm not going to lie and say that didn't bring a little tear to the eyes. it's great hearing about how these guys who are really still kids themselves putting in the time with kids who i'd imagine just want to forget where they are and why for just a little while. this was a great story about two great people, very nice


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Title] i ask because i honestly [Body]

Output: i ask because i honestly don't know any better but i looked at dead period and quiet period rules and i didn't see anything regarding statements from the university or anything like that as being a rules violation, only against contact beyond "hello" to recruits. what am i missing as far as any rules being broken?


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] i don't know... [Body]

Output: i don't know if i can go against ND. all season long i've pulled against them and hoped for them to lose, even as recently as last week when it was basically a 3-way tie at the top. BUT, now that it's this week and if ND loses it will in all likelihood be an all SEC NC game again, i'm more so pulling against that than a ND win. i dislike brian kelly and basically the whole ND team but as a college football fan i have gained a lot of respect for Manti Te'o as a football player and as a human this season, so in a way i rationalize it that way i guess.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] it's unbelieveable how much [Body]

Output: it's unbelieveable how much they believe it. i talked to a couple last night and one swears about how he knows someone that ran into someone that would know and he said it's a done deal, so it's gotta be the truth. the other tells me about how it was a done deal last week but when you ask why they haven't just come out and said it, this time it's because the MNF deal won't let them announce it until the last monday night game this season, which makes absolutely no sense to at all, but i'm a michigan fan so what do i know.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Kiffin == Herpes [Body]

Output: Kiffin is like a gift that keeps on giving, even when you don't want anymore


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] The fans hate Sunseri almost [Body]

Output: The fans hate Sunseri almost more than they hate Dooley but then again I know a lot of UT fans personally and they as a whole could possibly be one of the most irrational and delusional fanbases I've ever seen.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] very few. if you read some of [Body]

Output: very few. if you read some of the Tennessee boards, they all are certain he's coming and its just a matter of time. it's rather amusing reading come of their crap.


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Title] USA Today is doing their best [Body]

Output: USA Today is doing their best to make it happen. so far two SEC teams have passed USC in two weeks even though they haven't lost. same thing happened last year when bama and lsu passed oklahoma while all three teams were undefeated.


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Title] i'm not so certain i would [Body]

Output: i'm not so certain i would "vote" for the voiding of a LOI in the event of a coaching change. you hear all the time that players should commit to the school and not the coach, even though you can't blame an 18 yr old kid for getting attached to people that schmooze him and tell him everything he wants to hear for commiting to the coach rather than the school. i think if nothing else any school that's being investigated by the NCAA and there is even a slight possibility there may be a head coaching change coming because of said investigations, it might keep some players available to other schools by knowing that if they sign the LOI and the coach that offered and promised them more than other schools gets canned they're stuck there and won't be so fast to pull the trigger


Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Title] I think one other thing that [Body]

Output: I think one other thing that makes a difference is how ESPN likes to tell everyone over and over that the SEC is the best and toughest conference. If you're an 18 yr old kid and you know that you're going to be seen by more people around the country by playing in the SEC because ESPN is going to show the majority of their games and you'll get even more face time on Sportscenter then why wouldn't you want to go there if exposure is one of the big things you're looking for. This I think helps funnel the players to the SEC more so than the other conferences as a whole, perception becomes reality.


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Congrats! [Body]

Output: Yes Congratulations Tom and Ms. VH since she did most of the work up to this point. If only baby VH could have held out until tomorrow he would have the same bday as me.


Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Merry Christmas to all you [Body]

Output: Merry Christmas to all you guys and girls that make this site great. May you enjoy every moment of it with friends and family!


Input: [Date] 3 years 33 weeks ago [Title] that stadium is literally [Body]

Output: that stadium is literally less than 10 miles from my house and the field always looks that way. during the summer they use it as a race track and they have demolition derbys and all kinds of what not there that destroys the field. but you're right, you'd think they could do a little more to make the field at least playable on.


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Title] bad thing is it probably will [Body]

Output: bad thing is it probably will happen with how much espn and all the other press and media love them some SEC. i was pissed when alabama and lsu jumped oklahoma despite the sooners not losing or even having close games as far as i recall


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Title] i'll take the blame for this [Body]

Output: i'll take the blame for this one too, i gave up the traditional #1 jersey for a new M hoodie. it was so soft and comforting i couldn't not wear it. the question i have about that is should i have washed it first before wearing the first time, could that have made the difference. it will definately be washed before next saturday and IF i choose to wear it again an M loses, then anyone want a free hoodie?


Input: [Date] 3 years 39 weeks ago [Title] i'm not really sure of a way [Body]

Output: i'm not really sure of a way that this could be of use and i'm sure most of you have seen this but it still makes me laugh. maybe you could put it somewhere in the money.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] Fitz [Body]

Output: i'm hoping for a huge dose of toussaint this year, he absolutely kills in NCAA 11 and 12 so that means he can do it for real right? Fitz has always been one i've been very excited to see what he can do with the chance


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] i can't recall who the OP was [Body]

Output: i can't recall who the OP was that is responsible for this, i just saw it pop up on here a few weeks ago and saved the link. hopefully someone can claim it and get their credit. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/SyWIae2ZOLxXjwxM0FFkDozBXRnq3xKyuvrh1lQBmfU?feat=directlink


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] go buy it [Body]

Output: i have played the show since 09 and like you purchased a PS3 specifically for the show. i never really got into the pitching much on the previous versions because i could never truely control where the pitches went, they would be close but consistancy is what frustrated me. the meter pitching is wonderful this year, you have much more control over up, down, left and right with the ball. as others have said, the point system is so much better also. you don't usually rack up 150 points in one game, mostly when hitting, like you could easily do in previous versions but you don't get a fail on certain challenges because of the dumbass computer baserunners, you still get points for good contact, timing and/or working the pitch count. as much as it's still the same game, the minor tweaks were a great improvment. and yes the commentating is terrible as a lot of people say but the have some funny lines every now and then.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] i always thought that with [Body]

Output: i always thought that with all the prep work tate did to become a top qb he may have been pretty close to his ceiling as a freshman while denard was so raw his ceiling was so far away. tate was as good as you could have expected as a true freshman but maybe there just wasn't that much room for improvement as far as his capabilities. i still wish the kid well though.


Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Title] i'll be getting on sometime [Body]

Output: i'll be getting on sometime later today and i'll send you guys some friend invites and go from there inviting you guys to a team.

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I don't understand people who [Body]

Output: I don't understand people who get upset with the whole "us" thing. As an alumnus, I do consider myself part of UofM forever. I spent hours of life in the stands and tons of tuition dollars that helped support the team. Why can't I be considered a part?

Output: I'm confused. So what was her job? Was she helping athletes or students? Makes it sound like she's a super counsellor or something. Makes me wish I had met her while I was there


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Your answer [Body]

Output: Umm not every channel I get comes in HD. There are some channels that don't offer HD or my package doesn't carry the HD option. Or if I'm watching something from a DVD that's not HD.

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] My experience... [Body]

Output: Summary: If your on an extreme budget, go with VIZIO. But only as a last resort. If you can find a sale or have the extra money.... go with SONY Detailed explanation: If you have channels that aren't in HD, I'd NOT recommend VIZIO. HD channels come in perfect and awesome, but anything that isn't HD comes in pixellated or fuzzy. I'd also have to point out that a lot of peripherals (DVD player, PS3) come in really softly. I have to boost my volume to 100 just to hear it. My other TV is a SONY that I adopted through marriage. It's been a champ and I highly recommend it. Combine that with a Sony HT-CT770 2.1 Channel Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer (or equivalent), and it's been an awesome purchase. Found this one by testing all the sound bars at the local best buy. This one gave the richest sound... while the others sounded hollow or tin-ey.

Output: If you listen to the full routine here: http://therantisdue.com/90725 he continues asking who Iowa fans hate. Apparently OSU more than Michigan. In fact, just one guy really hates Michigan. Start at about 20:45.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Bad team and bad SCHEDULE [Body]

Output: Not sure if this was mentined yet, but we did have well, one of the WORST home schedules you can have in a single season. OSU, ND, and MSU were away. Our "best" home game was against Penn State. That had more to do with the attendance record than anything. Switch any one of those games to "home" and we still have the record.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] "No one is gonna get hurt"... [Body]

Output: "No one is gonna get hurt"... really? why? b/c they're women? That seems to be what you're implying. So if two dudes were brawling it out, would it be, 'na man, let them fight it out' Get real. These women were throwing punches. And there was a child involved. A child! He threw something at the one woman's face. Who knows how much this could have escalated. The man taking this video should have put down the cameria immediately and helped try to break it off. Or at least go get security.

Output: Nevermind. Clicked link and read "Other fish like tuna can warm specific body parts, boosting performance at key times, but whole-body "endothermy" has not been observed in a fish before." Touché Internet.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Why do they insist this is [Body]

Output: Why do they insist this is the first? It's already been reported that the blue fin tuna is "warm blooded". Not to mention some sharks, but they aren't fish.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Utopia; a MMORPG since 1998 [Body]

Output: It's a gamer's addiction I can't break. I've been playing this game on and off since 2003. It's one of the oldest-running online browser games. It features a hardcore strategy gameplay on building and managing a kingdom set in a fantasy world. And it's especially number crazy, like deciding what race and personality to play and how best to take advantage of each individual's attributes. Sadly it's numbers which used to be 40k or so near it's height is down to only about 4k. Lots of long-time vets playing with a few new players here and there. The game used to be unplayable unless you downloaded a third party software to analyze your builds and attack #'s. Now thought, they incorporated a lot of that into the game itself. Much more playable now for casual gamers, but still takes a lot of coordination to do well as a team. Game can be found here: http://utopia-game.com/shared/ Forums are currently down at the moment (not sure why) but likely due to a new "age" starting. By age, the game resets every 3 months to a different age. It's on Age 65 now.

Output: The optimism and excitement that Harbaugh has brought shows no signs of stopping. Last year, HTTV took till the final couple days to reach 100%. .... Amazing.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Response to both above posters [Body]

Output: I have no sympathy for GRRM. "Writing is hard", rubbish. He has explicitly said the reason he hasn't finished the book is because he can't write while traveling. So it's been 4-5 years now and because he's famous, all he does is travel. That's a long vacation. Nobody needs that much time off.
