Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Winston was suspended at the end of 08 and in jail in 09. I am sure that MD had talked w/ Winston regarding getting a 2nd chance. So the issue of letting him on the team w/in hours of his release is simply a black eye in public perception. It would have benefitted him if he would have, gulp, gone the JLS route w/ Smoker. Make him "prove" himself (to the team, coaches, media, ect) before officially letting him back on the team. I am not against giving 2nd chances. MD just happened to get burned on this one as he did realize that Winston has some major issues. Not that I have any sympathy for MD... [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Body] I really think that RR's "WV aw shucks" hurts him the most when it comes to perception and portrayal in the media. If you are straight faced and serious, it appears that you can get away with much more in the media. Just look at what Ferentz has gotten away with the last couple of years at Iowa. [Title]

Output: Persona


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Body] While I agree that Buzz and Grant are excellent young coaches, I think it is overreaching to say that JB was outcoached this weekend. The issues this weekend were poor shooting and poor defense. The shooting will come since very few of the misses were due to poor shot selection. The defense will be a bit trickier as they are seeing how much they miss CJ Lee on that side of the ball. [Title]

Output: Disagree


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Body] I think in this situation the numbers are all you need if you watched the game. The 3s just aren't falling right now. For the most part the low 3pt % is simply due to open looks not falling. It's not like all of these 3s are forced w/ a hand in the face. Most of them are coming w/in the offense, but they just aren't falling. When you are a POT it is difficult to get away w/ 20-30% 3pt shooting. [Title]

Output: I think in this situation the


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Body] The sentiment is still the same. OSU was not going to let Pryor take a 5- or 7-step drop and look for someone in the endzone. They planned on throwing a safe swing pass to hope Herron could turn it into a TD. An agressive blitz there leaves less defenders to make a play there. [Title]

Output: Fitz and Mouton


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Body] It was a perfect playcall by Tressell, but not a surprising one. GERG has shown a tendency to blitz in the redzone, which Tressell I am sure has scouted. The worst part is that in Pryor had already thrown a pick in the 2nd half, so the chances of Tressell calling something other than a screen or QB draw were extremely small. So the all-out blitz played right into Tressell's conservative nature. [Title]

Output: It was a perfect playcall by


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Body] You hit it w/ the oline comment. Minor was the only RB that could consistently get the tough yards, but next year w/ a better oline, as well as more experienced QBs, there will be bigger running lanes. My fear w/ Shaw is that he may be injury prone like Minor/Brown. Regardless, w/ him, Smith, Toussaint, and the incoming freshmen I think we will be just fine. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Body] While I didn't agree w/ Ferentz playing for OT there, I could see why he did it. He had a QB making his 1st start playing in Columbus. A turnover there gives OSU a short field to kick a winning FG. That said, the kid was playing quite well considering the circumstances. I would love to know the statistics on the outcomes when teams play for OT like that. I know I was in the minority, but I wanted to see RR go for 2 against MSU and get the win right there. I thought we would be playing at a disadvantage in OT since we were on the road and MD could no longer sit back and coach not to lose. [Title]

Output: While I didn't agree w/


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Body] Why would 2pt conversion success be more telling? 2pt conversions have the disadvantage of working w/ a shorter field making the conversion more difficult. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Body] The knee injury he had last year certainly hasn't helped, but I never pictured him being an every down back anyways. I think he could make an effective 3rd down back w/ his excellent pass blocking and good hands. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Body] It's not like he would have been punting to Stafford. Regardless of if Manning was having an off game, you have believe that one of the best QBs of all time is going to come through there. I agree w/ the criticism of the 3rd down play call and using the 2 TOs, but going for it there was the right call. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Body] I don't know about that. Going into The Game in 69 OSU was on a long winning streak and were being bandied about as the greatest team of all time. I realize we ended up winning the B10 that year, but no one gave us a chance there. [Title]

Output: I don't know about that.


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Body] Thanks for the link. I still think that it is too difficult to execute to be effective on a consistent basis, but I understand the mechanics of why it can be successful. I guess what I don't like about it compared to traditional screens is there is no element of disguise on the receiver's part. [Title]

Output: Thanks for the link. I still


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Body] I agree that Mouton and Ezeh have seemed to regress. At the same time Brown has been more productive at LB than he was at safety. Also RVB and Graham have improved significantly over the last 2 years. Warren played hurt in 08 and has had a solid (but not spectacular) season so far in 09. Woolfolk has gone from a 3* recruit to a serviceable CB this year. Seems pretty harsh to give very little credit for Roh being a solid contributor as a true frosh and then ding him for Turner coming into camp late (and supposedly out of shape) and Campbell not seeing the field much (even though all reports on him were that he need a ton of work on his technique). You are unhappy that our defense is not good. We all are. Just be fair in your analysis and remember that not everybody lives up to their recruiting rankings and that all freshmen are not ready to see the field immediately. [Title]

Output: I'll bite


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Body] Probably bc football is his entire life and he is sick of losing. For all the criticisms of RR, you absolutely cannot say that he doesn't care. Remember, as much as losing sucks for us it is 1000x times worse for the staff/players. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Body] Well, the last coaching search, coming off 11 and 9 win seasons didn't really attract any big names until WV lost to Pitt. We were turned down by Miles and Schiano. What makes you think we could get a fantastic coach coming off 3 and 5 win seasons? I don't know if you were paying attention in 2007, but this premium you give to the Michigan brand name isn't worth as much as you think it is. [Title]

Output: Well, the last coaching


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Body] I agree - it is tough to get huffy about that call when the kick catch interference call on Junior was just awful. The B10 refs are awful, just not as awful as the SEC refs. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Body] There is no way that play was not being reviewed. No matter how quickly they got up to the line they would have blown it dead for a review. There are a lot of things to question the coaching staff about over the past month. This situation is not one of them. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Body] In order to win either game remaining the offense has to execute flawlessly. There is just too big of a hole in the middle of the defense that is easily exploitable. There is nothing that can be done this season to fix this. Going into next year they really need development in the back 7. Guys like Fitzgerald, Emelien, Bell, Turner, ect are going to have to step up to ensure that we no longer have to rely on walkons starting on defense. [Title]

Output: In order to win either game


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Body] How was the team unprepared? They were leading at the half the last 2 weeks? Complain if you want about getting badly outplayed in the 3Q the last 2 weeks, but that has nothing to do w/ preparation. Execution errors on defense are much different than being unprepared. [Title]

Output: How was the team unprepared?


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Body] The only way to attract top candidates is to throw $$$$$ at him. This is the same discussion that we all had in 2007 when it was pointed out why the Meyers/Stoops/Sabans of the world were not going to come to AA - because they were already in a better situation than what they would inherit in AA. So, to get them you are going to have to pay an obscene amounts of money. In this state, in this economy, there is no way that happens. So what are you left w/? More B- & C-list candidates that don't even have the track record RR has. [Title]

Output: The only way to attract top


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Body] This defense is a ticking time bomb and cannot afford to let the other team have extra possessions. The offense did much better today only giving up 1 turnover (although that 1 was costly) but that onside kick was brutal. [Title]

Output: Exactly


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Body] Wasn't blocked - just straight up hooked. Did pretty much the same thing on the 48 yd attempt in the 4Q. He has had an excellent season so it's tough to put any blame on him. Plus, he didn't give up 360 yds passing to Joey Elliot. [Title]

Output: Wasn't blocked - just


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Body] Just speculation, but my guess is that Doc Sat is anticipating that RR might let GERG go just to take some of the heat off of him in the offseason. I don't agree w/ that view. I think this defense needs some continuity more than anything (other than some more talent). Give GERG a chance to work w/ 11 scholarship starters at least. [Title]

Output: Just speculation, but my

Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Body] as a blocker. How often do you see teams handoff to the fb at the 1 and how often do you see the fb be a lead blocker there? 1st and goal at the 1 and you have to trust your oline to get it punched in against a crappy defense. The reason that Grady did not make it as a rb is that he does not have the vision a rb needs. There are numerous examples of him getting stuffed back in 05 and 06 in short yardage situations, and that was before he blew his knee out. [Title]

Output: I agree...


Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Body] I think the criticism of Tate yesterday was that he held the ball too long when he should have thrown it away. I consider that progress from earlier in the season (think: Iowa) when he was throwing up jump balls whenever he scrambled. The thing everyone has to keep in mind is that regardless of how clutch he was against ND, he is still a true freshman. Expect perfection and you will be horribly disappointed. [Title]

Output: Disagree on 3)


Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Body] Brown is not an ideal short yardage back, but he did score from the 2 on the 1st td. The oline needs to get a better push on 4 cracks from the 1. And if you really think Kevin Grady was a better option then you must not remember why he is a fb this year. I am seeing people all over this board prove the ridiculous theory that the most popular player on the team is the backup qb. [Title]

Output: Issue 3


Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Body] On the road w/ a crappy defense that is like a ticking timebomb you can't win w/ fgs. I just don't understand where all this outcoaching talk is coming from. RR is not the reason that the offense couldn't execute in the redzone. Regardless of how bad Juice had been this year, did anyone have faith that our defense would stop him all game? [Title]

Output: On the road w/ a crappy


Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Body] Other than the 4th down carry at the goal line, the only plays he was in for was obv passing downs where he stayed in to block. He must not be able to run very well, or the coaches would have given him a chance. He did great picking up the blitz when he was in. I feel for him that he just can't stay healthy. [Title]

Output: Blocking


Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Body] Are you really blaming Tate for this loss? He had them on the doorstep to go up 20-7 and then the defense got shredded the rest of the game. There are a lot of people to blame for this embarrassing loss, but Tate is waayyy down the list. [Title]

Output: Blame


Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Body] Can we post something under Useful Stuff that losing a game in the 2nd half does not mean they quit? Snakebit after that momentum swing, sure, but they did not quit. I am sick of seeing people type that. [Title]

Output: Useful Stuff

Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Body] I didn't have any issue w/ the 12 men on the field call. The guy was 1 step away from being out and was not part of the play. That is extremely ticky tack if it were to be called. About as ticky tack as the 5 men in the backfield call. We have been called for that 3-4 times this year, and I cannot remember seeing that call even once against an opponent (or in any non-UM games). It seems really bizarre to be targeted for that, especially when it isn't blatent. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 40 weeks ago [Body] I still think that each of the last 4 games are winnable and losable. Without a healthy Molk or Forcier the margin of error is much smaller. The defense needs to force turnovers to be effective, though. They cannot be counted on to continually make stops against any of these teams. [Title]

Output: I still think that each of


Input: [Date] 5 years 40 weeks ago [Body] If there is one place that I will trust the coaching staff fully, it is in recruiting. Trust me, they know a lot more about these kids than we do, even factoring in our Rivals/Scout subscriptions. The coaches put in a ton of time finding the players that they think will best fit the system and help them win, regardless where they come from. [Title]

Output: Trust the coaches


Input: [Date] 5 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Probably because we won't drop as many balls we catch and be -3 in turnovers every game. Let's not go jumping off of cliffs bc they played a bad game against a good team. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 40 weeks ago [Body] We are not good enough to beat teams when we lay an egg like today, but I do think we can beat them. PSU is better, but we don't really know how much simply bc we repeatedly shot ourselves in the foot. Now if we play like this and lose to Ill next week... [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 41 weeks ago [Body] The mgoblue site lists Demens as a RS FR. The fact that Webb, Sagesse, Rogers, and Woolfolk did not redshirt was one of my biggest pet peeves of Carr's later years. [Title]

Output: Orson


Input: [Date] 5 years 41 weeks ago [Body] One of the best thing about the internets is going back and reading what people were feeling at the time. This post is timeless. Contrast that w/ the comments on that post where someone was lamenting that he didn't want Jamar Hornsby to to know about this new math. Whoops. [Title]

Output: Internets


Input: [Date] 5 years 41 weeks ago [Body] I love watching that play and seeing the new math just keep running like he can't believe what just happened. Just a phenomenal moment. And the throw from Henne was just a frozen rope - Henne at his robotic best. [Title]

Output: celebration


Input: [Date] 5 years 42 weeks ago [Body] I really like this play w/ Shaw as he is the shiftiest of the rbs. When they tried it w/ Minor just looked clumsy. I would like to see them run this out of a 5-wide set and motion Odoms into the backfield. [Title]

Output: Shaw


Input: [Date] 5 years 42 weeks ago [Body] But, are you really surprised w/ what actually happened? I would have been infinitely more surprised w/ a drive into fg range than w/ a poorly thrown interception. To ask a kid that has been on campus for 2 months to run a 2 minute drill w/ no timeouts and limited knowledge of the playbook and sketchy accuracy on downfield throws is asking for a miracle. [Title]

Output: It could have worked


Input: [Date] 5 years 43 weeks ago [Body] Was all a ploy so he didn't have to play w/ Brady Quinn? Well played. [Title]

Output: Overall, no


Input: [Date] 5 years 43 weeks ago [Body] Don't forget he is still quite young. I would be more disappointed if it was Maggs or Polanco that did something like this. Luckily it seems that no one was seriously hurt from his stupid decisions. Let's hope that he learns from this and moves on. Even thinking about trading him for this is beyond stupid. [Title]

Output: Young


Input: [Date] 5 years 43 weeks ago [Body] During the tying drive I felt like we were playing w/ house money. We had no business being in a position to force OT/win that it was hard to get upset at the outcome. That said, it is always extremely annoying to lose to MSU, even moreso when we could have forced a meltdown of epic proportions w/ a win. [Title]

Output: Agreed


Input: [Date] 5 years 43 weeks ago [Body] I agree that Tate was gassed, but I don't agree w/ arguments based on the fact that "we had the momentum" going into OT. It only appeared that way bc MSU shut the offense down in the 4Q. I think in this particular situation it would have been better to go for 2 than to allow MSU to regroup in OT. [Title]

Output: OT/2 pt try


Input: [Date] 5 years 43 weeks ago [Body] The Molk injury was more significant to the offense than I originally thought. At this point I think that he is the 2nd most valuable player on offense. [Title]

Output: 9. Michigan did not want it


Input: [Date] 5 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Watching the recap show in the BTN after the ND game Brandstatter asked RR about the 4th and 3 play that Tate scored on. RR said something to the effect of "well, we certainly weren't going to punt there", as if it was a ridiculous question. Regardless of whether it was confidence in the offense or lack thereof in the defense, that one statement gave me a lot of hope for the future simply because he was playing to win, opposed to playing not to lose. [Title]

Output: Punting


Input: [Date] 5 years 46 weeks ago [Body] I thought Millen was a bit rusty. The potential was there, but I think he needs to do a bit more homework and a little less hyperbole. That said, in a few weeks I think that these two will be a clear upgrade over Nessler/Griese. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 46 weeks ago [Body] I wonder how much of his misuse is Tressell honoring a promise that he wouldn't make Pryor run a spread. He would clearly be more effective in that kind of offense at this point, so why not start w/ that as your base and then incorporate pro-style sets as he matures? [Title]

Output: Agreed


Input: [Date] 5 years 46 weeks ago [Body] Brian - you need to bring back the "On Notice" board for Cissoko. Besides the fact that he was torched all day, anytime he was around a play the defense made he was talking trash. Compare that w/ Warren who didn't say a word after the 2 and 10 call from Jeff Bowden. [Title]

Output: On notice


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Body] I worked for the M-Den when I was in undergrad, and I can vouch that the owners are great guys. I am proud of them for seeing the great work done on this site and partnering up w/ Brian. Well done by all. [Title]

Output: Common knowledge to whom?


Input: [Date] 5 years 50 weeks ago [Body] As great as Braylonfest was, the game in 05 at MSU was way better if you were at the game. We were 2-2 after close losses at ND and Wisconsin. MSU was undefeated and in the top-10. The MSU fans in East Lansing were unbelievably cocky before the game. The students were wearing 'Stanton for Heisman' shirts (I would love to get my hands on one of those). Just a great atmosphere for an 'upset'. In 04 the MSU fans there were too stunned to know what happened. In 05 it totally crushed their spirit. In a year of infinite pain, 05 gave me 2 of the most satisfying victories of my life (along w/ PSU, of course). [Title]

Output: 05 at MSU


Input: [Date] 5 years 52 weeks ago [Body] I agree that Knapp has been a breath of fresh air for the staff, but I think the defense has played just a big of a role in the turn around. The upgrades at 3B and SS have been huge, Laird is an upgrade over lazy Pudge, Cabrera is much more comfortable at 1B, and Thomas/Raburn/Anderson/Kelly have all gotten more starts in the OF to replace Thames/Ordonez. Dombrowski has definitely made some good moves, but they are fielding a small market club w/ a huge payroll. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] Minn in 06 was horrible. Iowa is depleted by injuries this year. Indiana is beyond horrible this year. These are important games against bad teams. And they sh*t the bed in 2 of those 3 games (really all 3, but still miraculously beat Ind). They have also won a few important games in that time frame (MSU & Ill in 06, MSU in 07, Duke/UCLA/Purdue this year) that were not liveblogged. All I am saying is why tempt it? [Title]

Output: It has been noted


Input: [Date] 6 years 22 weeks ago [Body] How much evidence do you need to never do a liveblog for a basketball game again? At least use these next 2 games to test the theory. I, for one, am begging you not to tempt fate. There is just too much at stake. [Title]

Output: Liveblogs


Input: [Date] 6 years 23 weeks ago [Body] I think Brian is way too nice in his assessment of JB in OT. Sitting Manny is fine to start OT if he really felt that way, but when Iowa scores 7 quick points you need your best streak scorer (not to mention a better defender than Merritt) to come in an try and stop the momentum. If nothing else it gives Iowa more to think about on the defensive end. Very disappointed in how JB handled OT and his "defense" of his decision. [Title]

Output: Way too nice


Input: [Date] 6 years 23 weeks ago [Body] I think he was trying to absorb the contact on that play and overshot it when the defender was jumping out of the way to avoid the contact. IMO he needed to do this since he couldn't count on getting a call there. And I don't think he was fouled on the layup, but definitely was shoved when he turned the corner to get into the lane. [Title]

Output: Contact


Input: [Date] 6 years 27 weeks ago [Body] Where was Yost security after the game? The MSU players/lockerroom should have been sealed off to avoid an ugly incident. Although it was just Kampfer's dad that got in, it could have been Artest-level ugly if anyone else would have gotten in. I don't blame the dad at all for what he did, I blame UM/Yost for letting him get in. [Title]

Output: Yost


Input: [Date] 6 years 27 weeks ago [Body] I agree w/ B Ready on some position changes. I would love to see Watson put on some lbs and become a huge blocking TE for a jumbo package. I would also love to see Moore make the switch to DE. It seems he is much more likely to be a difference maker there than at TE. [Title]

Output: agree


Input: [Date] 6 years 30 weeks ago [Body] You must not be familiar w/ the tragic results everytime Brian tries to liveblog a basketball game, then. [Title]

Output: History


Input: [Date] 6 years 30 weeks ago [Body] I know Indiana sucks this year, but can you please never do another liveblog for basketball??!? [Title]

Output: Stop this!


Input: [Date] 6 years 30 weeks ago [Body] He was a 5* LB out of high school, but then reported to campus at 270+ lbs and was immediately put on the d-line. I distinctly remember him getting a QB hurry in the FBD as a DT. [Title]

Output: Amazingly, he did play DT


Input: [Date] 6 years 32 weeks ago [Body] What do they put in the water down there? [Title]

Output: Texas


Input: [Date] 6 years 34 weeks ago [Body] The good - everyone on this team, save Gibson, has improved considerably from last year (Wright has always been this bad). JB is an excellent coach and has been keeping everyone's heads in the game. There were many times in the UCLA/MD/Duke games that they could have been blown out, but they have hung in there in all of them. Quite a change. The bad - as improved as the defense is, it still gives up wide open 3s. They will lose a few games simply because the other team gets hot (it almost happened once already). I am not setting myself up to be let down this early, as encouraging as everything has been. I am simply glad to not have an embarrassing team anymore. [Title]

Output: Good/Bad


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Body] The problem w/ a 16 team playoff is that it greatly devalues the regular season. BCS conference schools are safe until they get their 3rd loss. That is the thing that makes college football so great - the despair of losing a game. In 2006 do UM/OSU get blasted for playing all of their starters when they are guaranteed a spot in the top 16? If it is the top 6 then they could still drop w/ an embarassing loss AND a win gets them a bye, making the game still much more important than if it simply for seeding purposes under the 16 team format. [Title]

Output: 16 teams


Input: [Date] 6 years 36 weeks ago [Body] Is that it would be even more lopsided on plays of 40+ yds. This year alone we must have had an extra 6-8 plays in the 40-49 yd range. This is where saftey play is so vital. It is nearly impossible to break a long run against a team w/ good safeties. [Title]

Output: What is scary...


Input: [Date] 6 years 36 weeks ago [Body] That is all. [Title]

Output: Phenomenal


Input: [Date] 6 years 37 weeks ago [Body] I wasn't upset that he didn't jump for it. I was very upset that he was in the game at all in the 2nd half. Sheridan also threw wildly to him on the last possession. When trying to score pts to tie the game the worst possible combo to see on the field is Sheridan to Massey. [Title]

Output: well


Input: [Date] 6 years 37 weeks ago [Body] What is the over/under that S.Brown gets on the 3rd & 18 TD run in the 1st half? I do not hate him as much as many, but gd that was a horrible, horrible angle that he took. [Title]

Output: UFR


Input: [Date] 6 years 37 weeks ago [Body] How is it ego-stroking if he fully admits at the beginning that he simply an avid fan? While I don't agree w/ everything here, it just nice to see someone looking at the season on the whole w/out saying "OMG RR SUX!". [Title]

Output: Calm down


Input: [Date] 6 years 37 weeks ago [Body] 100%. I feel dumber simply by having read that. [Title]

Output: Agreed


Input: [Date] 6 years 37 weeks ago [Body] 100% [Title]

Output: Agreed


Input: [Date] 6 years 37 weeks ago [Body] I have to disagree about UM's receivers blocking in the past. Before the switch to zone blocking, our WRs were excellent blockers. Remember, w/ the exception of Mario, the only way freshmen WRs saw the field was to block on running plays. I am not familiar w/ RR's track record of this, so the jury is out on how quickly our WRs will become good blockers. I know I would feel better this year if Matthews was blocking on these bubbles more than Stonum. [Title]

Output: Disagree


Input: [Date] 6 years 38 weeks ago [Body] Not to get too superstitious or anything, but the garfield minus garfield thing hasn't worked too well this year. For the love of God, please bring back the NW punching cat next week for some good luck. [Title]

Output: intangibles


Input: [Date] 6 years 38 weeks ago [Body] I still say that Threet is the starter at the beginning of the 09 season, but w/ a short leash. Unless he shows significant improvement I think Forcier takes over for good in October. [Title]

Output: 09


Input: [Date] 6 years 39 weeks ago [Body] The thing I find disturbing, outside of a potential power struggle between RR and Shafer, is the lack of progress from many of the players. Mouton and Martin are the only ones that seem to be better now than they were in Sept. I don't really care who the coordinator is as long as they teach our players how to tackle. [Title]

Output: Disturbing


Input: [Date] 6 years 39 weeks ago [Body] The learning curve will not be as steep. I see that offense listed above at about 10 ppg better than this year. I think we can all agree that the oline has bottomed out this year. RR will have an extra year to install more packages. Threet will be key - he really needs to gain consistency and stay healthy. I am not saying that they will be the point per minute offense of Yost that Paterno watched in high school, but they should be good enough to carry their own weight. On defense, gsimmons has preached that Shafer needs time to get his system in place. If Graham comes back I can't see the defense being any worse. That sounds like 7-5 at worst. [Title]

Output: But...


Input: [Date] 6 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Given all the other issues with the offense I doubt it would really make much of a difference, but they do miss Hemingway more than I would have thought. A hobbled Matthews and shaky Stonum have given them 0 deep threats in the past month. [Title]

Output: Hemingway


Input: [Date] 6 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Sorry about the lack of paragraphs - I do not know how to format to get them to show up. [Title]

Output: Sorry


Input: [Date] 6 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Here is the rule that has been quoted on why it was a bad call: Player Out of Bounds ARTICLE 1. a. A player or an airborne player is out of bounds when any part of his person touches anything, other than another player or game official, on or outside a boundary line (A.R. 4-2-1-I and II). b. A player or an airborne player who touches a pylon is out of bounds. So, why would there be this contridictory, single rule that would be incorrect given your interpretation. I completely follow your logic, except that this rule does exist and seems to spell out the exact situation of what happened. This was karmic justice for the 05 Henne fumble. Luckily, in both cases it didn't affect the outcome. Although it would have been fun to watch the meltdown had we extended our streak bc of this call. [Title]

Output: So..


Input: [Date] 6 years 40 weeks ago [Body] Mundy (the original Steve Brown) was a horrible safety under English and went to WVU and had a very productive season. How do you explain that? [Title]

Output: Wait a second...


Input: [Date] 6 years 40 weeks ago [Body] I was told that JB is a MLB and that Ezeh is playing out of position (no pun intended) there these past 2 years. Can anyone confirm this? That would give at least a little bit of optimism if Ezeh could be more effective at WILL/SAM. [Title]

Output: Fitzgerald


Input: [Date] 6 years 40 weeks ago [Body] That is completely unbelievable (or, I guess, completely believable) that he was the same guy on the '05 play. As the Sparty fans I was watching w/ were b*tching up a storm I calmly explained that we are now even for that play. The only thing worth watching for the remainder of the season is to see if a team, even a bad team, can go an entire year w/out even coming close to playing well for an entire game. [Title]

Output: Augustyne


Input: [Date] 6 years 40 weeks ago [Body] I believe that it is poor scheme and execution on 3rd-and-long. I don't ever remember a UM team that is this poor in zone coverage. I think the coaches may be snake bit by the big plays and are playing zone to limit them. Well, yielding several 3rd downs can be just as deflating as giving up a big play. At this point, on obvious passing 3rd downs I would prefer the DBs to be Trent/Warren/Cissoko/Harrison all in man coverage, 1 safety deep, and blitz the other 6. It is sad when the only time you feel like you can get a stop on 3rd-and-long is w/ a sack. [Title]

Output: 3rd downs


Input: [Date] 6 years 40 weeks ago [Body] While I agree that Minor should keep his job, the reasons stated for his lack of PT early are still extremely valid. On injuries - do you really think that Minor at 80% is more effective than a healthy McGuffie? On lack of practice time - do you really think that w/ an offense as green as this one that it is a good idea to throw someone out there on Saturdays who has not gotten the reps in practice? It is not like he was a world beater last year. There was nothing suggesting that he would be head and shoulders the best RB in this offense this year. And don't even get me started on the fumbles. Hopefully the fumbles were related to the injuries/lack of practice reps and now that he is healthy they will no longer be an issue. Brown, while extremely flawed, is the best option back there. I do not blame him for the completion to Dell - that is on the coaches. A good WR will always be a mismatch when covered by a safety. He should have never been in that situation. Stewart is worse in coverage and tackling than Brown. Williams may be an option if he is healthy. Everyone else either has no experience at that position or is being redshirted. I hate to do this, but, YOU DO NOT EVER BURN A REDSHIRT WHEN YOUR TEAM IS 2-6. I know everyone is frustrated, but use some common sense. [Title]

Output: On Minor and Brown


Input: [Date] 6 years 40 weeks ago [Body] It really is a perfect sh*tstorm. Even in 01 when we were breaking in a new oline and qb, at least Navarre had Walker to throw to. It really does not help Threet to have inexperienced WRs that have dropped balls on him. Give him an extra offseason and the WRs an extra year of running routes and he will be alright. [Title]

Output: WRs


Input: [Date] 6 years 40 weeks ago [Body] You think that this defense w/ Ezeh/Thompson/Mouton at LB should be better than the 06 unit w/ Harris/Burgess/Crable? That may be the single dumbest thing I have read today, and I have read a lot of dumb things today in the aftermath of the game. [Title]

Output: Seriously?


Input: [Date] 6 years 40 weeks ago [Body] I don't see what could be more important than the health of Threet's elbow. [Title]

Output: Like what?


Input: [Date] 6 years 40 weeks ago [Body] I do believe in God, and it hasn't helped so far. [Title]

Output: Doesn't help


Input: [Date] 6 years 40 weeks ago [Body] I see a big difference between MSU's rushing offense and Wisconsin's. Ringer does not go down on 1st contact often and frequently looks for cut back lanes. Wisconsin's bruisers try to plow everyone over. Our LBs are crappy tacklers and prone to take bad angles. That spells trouble against Ringer. Wisc's oline is better than MSU's, but I really believe that the only chance at winning this game is to have a 2 score lead into the 2nd half and put the game on Hoyer. If not, don't be surprised if Ringer breaks something big in the 4Q. [Title]

Output: Rush Defense


Input: [Date] 6 years 41 weeks ago [Body] It is a double standard only if you don't look at the context. One unit returned 2 starters and another returned 8. You really don't see a difference here? [Title]

Output: only


Input: [Date] 6 years 42 weeks ago [Body] Steve Hutchinson isn't walking through that door... Jon Jansen isn't walking through that door... [Title]

Output: O-line


Input: [Date] 6 years 42 weeks ago [Body] To not see more love for Hart. His legend has only grown this year as players randomly drop the ball for no reason. Runners up on offense: Askew, Boles, & Avant. Defense - Dave Harris. His 2006 season spoiled me everytime I watch a LB miss a tackle. Runners up on defense: Woodson, Marlin Jackson, LeSueur (the ultimate liability turned into solid player) [Title]

Output: Surprised


Input: [Date] 6 years 43 weeks ago [Body] I agree that Threet will most likely be the starter going into next season. The addition of Forcier/Beaver gives RR options if Threet is struggling. We have seen enough of Sheridan to know that even crappy/streaky Threet is better than the alternative. Next year, not so much. I will be extremely happy if Threet is a 4 yr starter bc that most likely means that he has played at a high level for the last 3 of those yrs. [Title]

Output: Options


Input: [Date] 6 years 43 weeks ago [Body] Where does Fitzgerald project to play? I actually feel fairly comfortable w/ Fitzgerald/Ezeh/Mouton for the next 2 years. Mouton and Ezeh will have 1 and 2 years experience, respectively and Fitzgerald was touted similarly to Mouton coming out of high school, except he actually played LB so he is not learning a new position. By '10, that unit *could* rival the '06 version. [Title]

Output: SLB


Input: [Date] 6 years 43 weeks ago [Body] This year always has been, and will continue to be, about managing expectations. With all the n00bs on offense it is unrealistic to expect any more than 3 scores. Threet has enough talent to march down the field when he is in a rhythm, but not consistent enough to look for it more than a few times each game. The defense is good enough to get pressure on the QB and make some plays, but it is not dominating enough to overcome poor safety play. I think this team sucks 40% of the time and is a good team 60%. Unfortunately the good 60% is not good enough to overcome the sucky 40% on a consistent basis. So, for every Wisc, there will be a ND & Ill. Luckily for them, Minn/Purdue/NW/MSU are not that good and they have a chance in each of those games. If you chalk them all up as W's, though, you are asking for pain. [Title]

Output: Expectations


Input: [Date] 6 years 44 weeks ago [Body] I think given the oline's pass and run blocking performance that RR will have to pass to set up the run more than he would like. That is especially dicey considering that no one knows which Threet will show up each game. This offense is entirely capable repeating its 1st half performance. It is also capable of repeating its performance in the last 20-25 minutes. I think I will settle for not yelling "Hold onto the gd ball!" every play. [Title]

Output: Threet


Input: [Date] 6 years 44 weeks ago [Body] He was talking about hearing the things the fans were yelling at the team heading into the tunnel at halftime. [Title]

Output: Fans


Input: [Date] 6 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Assuming unsuccessful conversion, then a UM fg forces a TD for Wisc to take the lead and a TD for UM forces a TD +2 for Wisc to tie. That means you are forcing a struggling offense to get into the endzone twice just to tie. That outweighs kicking the xp and playing for either no scores for Wisc or an additional score for UM. [Title]

Output: unsuccessful conversion


Input: [Date] 6 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Wisconsin wasn't able to punch it in on most of the gifts given to them in the 1st half. They had even less momentum in the 2nd half. You make an offense that is struggling decide between kicking a potential fg to tie or go for the td to win rather than just a fg to win. Now, had this decision come up in the 3Q, then you absolutely kick the xp. [Title]

Output: On the other hand


Input: [Date] 6 years 44 weeks ago [Body] So much for Thompson being excellent against the run. After the last few years it seems crazy to think that we match up better against Illinois' spread than Wisconsin, but I definitely think that is the case. Mundy must feel pretty good seeing that pair of (-4)s. I don't ever remember YAM getting hit w/ that. [Title]

Output: Well


Input: [Date] 6 years 46 weeks ago [Body] Let's not be so quick to judgment. Maybe Butler finally found the correct guy that asked to use his iron. In that case, the slap was completely warranted. [Title]

Output: Let's not be so quick to


Input: [Date] 6 years 46 weeks ago [Body] I expect ND to get more breaks just bc that is historically what has happened. Them getting as many as they did was extremely frustrating. But, the fact that the final score was 35-17 made it much easier to take than if it were 28-24. The most painful loss to ND in my memory was in 05 simply bc they lost by 7 w/ ND getting a number of breaks (TD pass off Graham's(?) hand, the non-TD Henne sneak followed by a fumble the next play, 2 other non scoring red zone trips, ect). This loss is much less painful simply bc they lost by 3 scores. [Title]

Output: Losing by 18 makes everything easier to take


Input: [Date] 6 years 46 weeks ago [Body] The PI in the endzone made me want to cry, too, but not bc it was a bad call. When you pull the WR's jersey in man coverage like that the ref has to throw the flag. It was stupid, especially since he was in position and didn't need to do it. Now, the PI on the play before the long TD was one of the worst I have ever seen. [Title]

Output: PI


Input: [Date] 6 years 46 weeks ago [Body] The only calls I thought were bad was the PI right before the long TD pass and the Grady fumble. The PI was just horrible, and, even worse, late. Big, big pet peeve is the late PI call. On the Grady fumble I thought that the play should have been ruled dead for forward progress. He had 3 guys draped over him when the ball was stripped. As for the TD that was ruled incomplete, I thought it had to go w/ what was ruled on the field. There wasn't inconclusive evidence either way. It was a huge call, but a correct one IMO. But, when you look at the day on the whole, they got ALL the breaks. I expect them to get breaks in SB, I just don't expect them to exceed 2-3. I will give them credit for cashing in the breaks they got - last year we still would have won w/ 6 TOs as they wouldn't have been able to turn them into any points. Long story short: I hate playing in SB. This offense can compete in every game as long as they don't shoot themselves in the foot repeatedly, [Title]

Output: Bad calls


Input: [Date] 6 years 46 weeks ago [Body] Brian - please revert to the Lloyd era Intangibles for Northwestern. [Title]

Output: Intangibles


Input: [Date] 6 years 47 weeks ago [Body] I know it's only been 2 games, but the way the defense has played in the 4Q has been extremely encouraging. It is even more impressive given the fact that the offense can't keep them off the field. I don't want to jinx anything, but here is to hoping that the days of Herrmann/Gittleson are long gone. [Title]

Output: 4Q


Input: [Date] 6 years 47 weeks ago [Body] I, too, have a friend that taught his students The Victors while in the Peace Corps in Namibia. The stories he came back w/ make the wiki page seem tame. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 years 47 weeks ago [Body] I vote for Matthews returning punts this weekend. Let him sit back there and fair catch them all. Crazy sh*t happens in South Bend, I am terrified of Warren or some n00b making a huge, game-changing mistaken on a punt return. Let Odoms/Cissoko/Stonum get their feet wet at home. [Title]

Output: Matthews

Output: Shhhh


Input: [Date] 7 years 2 weeks ago [Body] I am not sure what the point/gain is in Brian's proposal. To graduate in 4 yrs a player would have to take 12 cr in fall/winter and 4 cr in the summer. In 5 yrs the summer cr would be unnecessary. Are we to believe that is too taxing? I understand the difficulty of the fall semester due to practice/away games. I don't think it is asking too much of the players to stay eligible, though. If they really want to play football they will make sacrifices to keep their grades up and stay eligible. It is surprising in Slocum's situation, given what it took to get him on the field last fall, that this was the ultimate result. The other issue w/ this proposal is where would the $ come from? UM is in the minority of ADs running in the black. So all of the other schools already losing $ are supposed to shell out more $ so players can take classes at an even slower pace? What will most likely happen is that schools will be forced to cut smaller sports to pay for this extra schooling, and I do not think that is an overall positive for college athletics. [Title]

Output: Nor do I


Input: [Date] 7 years 5 weeks ago [Body] There are always decent fluctuations in the initial rankings and where they end up. I am not worried that tUOS a dozen more commits that us. Taking that many kids early closes yourself from late bloomers/injured jrs. The thing that is difficult to get used to is the RR/Barwis effect. We are used to getting a bunch of 4*s and hoping that a few pan out. RR is used to getting a bunch of 3*s and letting Barwis turn them into beasts. RR has already proven that he will recruit better in AA than in Morgantown. We also should trust that our players will get coached up under the new regime. [Title]

Output: It's early


Input: [Date] 7 years 5 weeks ago [Body] I hope that RR keeps Lloyd's tradition of letting the kids play where they want to during their 1st year. The kids should get an opportunity to prove that they can play at their desired position. To force kids to switch positions as soon as they arrive on campus would be detrimental to future recruiting. Now, I hope that Moore/Witherspoon are realistic enough to see the opportunity they have to see the field if they make the switch to DE after 1 year, a la Trent at CB a couple years ago. [Title]

Output: I hope that RR keeps Lloyd's


Input: [Date] 7 years 5 weeks ago [Body] The only thing I would add is that non-grad fans are not allowed to remark/debate the educational merits of other schools under the UM cloak. I have friends who graduated from MSU who will admit that, on the whole, UM has better academics. The biggest complaint they have is when they are baited by UM fans about MSU being a crappy school by someone who did not even attend UM - and I completely agree. So, welcome all non-grad fans. Please just try and limit the conversations to on the field activities. [Title]

Output: I agree


Input: [Date] 7 years 5 weeks ago [Body] The photos seem to take up too much room. I would like to either see them go away entirely as they are unnecessary, or for them to shrink.

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Yeah, I am loving how we are seeing the power guys not going for it all but shorting their swing to make sure they make contact and put the ball in play. The announcer of the broadcast I was watching today mentioned Miggy being in 'emergancy stance' not lifting his lead foot and concentrating on making contact. From that point on I paid more attention and noticed the whole lineup was more focued on making contact rather than going for fence. [Title]

Output: Yeah, I am loving how we are

Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] It would be nice to have someone fill the role that Denard did against Iowa, the must account for big play threat out of the backfield or split out. That Swing to Vincent Smith on the fake option(?) was pretty nice. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Body] Fair enough guess it goes from normal to trolling on its own, or I just plain out dont understand the mechanics of the board(I don't) Why vent now? Thats the point of my posts when you're agnry you're not really as thoughtfull as you might otherwise be. The post of mine that got hit as trolling was a toss out to stop threads being posted for 4 hours after a loss or atleast heavily moderated to prevent the type of posts we all laugh about in TWIS, now if we laugh at TWIS we're just hypocrites. So fail thread killed funny feel better about ourseves thread(article? blog?) [Title]

Output: Fair enough guess it goes


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Body] Yeah its a dialect called drunkard, do you disagree with the sentament of the post, or just taking potshots on the only thing you can? Your response also proves my point, thank you. [Title]

Output: Yeah its a dialect called


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Body] Well I would like to vent about this thread ruining TWIS for me I will no longer be able to get a laugh at others expense after this epically fail thread 326 posts in less than an hour. [Title]

Output: Well I would like to vent


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Body] ok I get it the mods are just as emo as the OMGzombii apocolypse crowd. I retract my last posts on the ground that logic has ceased to exist. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Body] Wow they really should disable or moderate all new thread posts for 4 hours after a loss give peopl time to get over the butthurt and disappointment. This thread is fail and looks like something that can be found on RCMB. Go to bed, post tomorrow when youve had a chance to contemplate the fact that we are changing to O from what it was, and that going 11-2 last year has completely distorted some peoples logic concering the rethink of a teams playstyle and the time table involved. Next year will be a better benchmark on the direction of the program. [Title]

Output: Wow they really should


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Body] Oh Hai TWIS glad you found us..... [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] ummm that was Stanford a [Body]

Output: ummm that was Stanford a pretty crappy program, and since harbaugh has been their they have improved. rich rod's first year was the worst season ever, then he backed that up his second year by winning 1 big ten game. i agree that the team has progressed this year but is their any evidence this team will be better than 7-5 next year?


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] anybody else see the [Body]

Output: anybody else see the similarities of Terelle Pryor and Cam. they are both quarterbacks built like outside linebackers, that run extremely well. The only difference i see is Pryor being forced to run mainly a pro style offense which doesn't suit his skill set. Yet Cam is allowed to run which opens up passing lanes. It could just be me but i think both are essentialy the same quarterback and if Pryor was at Auburn he would be the front runner for the heisman.


Input: [Date] 4 years 50 weeks ago [Title] went to high school with [Body]

Output: went to high school with austin, was in the same graduating class with his brothers, and i must say that this news does not surprise me at all. him and his brothers have really represented livonia stevenson well, thanks a lot guys

Input: [Date] 4 years 50 weeks ago [Title] Kenny is a very talented [Body]

Output: Kenny is a very talented artist however he only has one song that could work for college football (ain't back yet). espn should realize this and stop paying him to create songs that are slow and do very little to pump the audience up


Input: [Date] 5 years 6 weeks ago [Title] graduated in '08 with 3.6 [Body]

Output: graduated in '08 with 3.6 gpa, 28 act, calc 1 &2 college classes under my belt, and 4 years of varsity baseball. was not granted admission out of high scool, was able to go to a community college for two years (3.9 gpa) and transfer into u-m's school of ed , it was a blessing, two years of free community college saved me about $50,000 in tuition


Input: [Date] 5 years 18 weeks ago [Title] great call but not ballsy, [Body]

Output: great call but not ballsy, the miss prevents the inbounder from running down the baseline making it easier to guard the inbound, and TENN was going to take a 3 regardless of the free throw result.


Input: [Date] 5 years 18 weeks ago [Title] don't care [Body]

Output: if they win they win. if they lose they lose. i just hope the game has an entertaining ending.


Input: [Date] 5 years 19 weeks ago [Title] you're right [Body]

Output: musicians tend to get fairly good grades and nmu really is not that good of a school. the only thing they are good at is hockey and training for winter olympic events.


Input: [Date] 5 years 19 weeks ago [Title] if your left ear was pointing [Body]

Output: if your left ear was pointing towards the concourse you must have heard me yelling at Shegos to get his head out of his ass, as i was walking back to my seat.


Input: [Date] 5 years 24 weeks ago [Title] i played with biondi [Body]

Output: i played one summer with biondi, i must say that he is the fastest ball player i have every played with or against. this includes traveling to a number of world series around the country. the teams from florida and texas did not have players that were on his level as far as speed goes.


Input: [Date] 5 years 25 weeks ago [Title] umm did not see that hire [Body]

Output: umm did not see that hire coming, but looking at all of the circumstances, mainly job security, I guess it kind of makes sense.

Output: that line makes me laugh every time I hear that song

Output: i honestly think leach would be good at TN, sec defenses have not impressed me lately when they have faced a spread aerial attack


Input: [Date] 5 years 29 weeks ago [Title] people in texas are pissed at [Body]

Output: people in texas are pissed at him and his kid. for a extremely conservative state i could see them voting in a liberal just because of what happened at tech


Input: [Date] 5 years 30 weeks ago [Title] nice crowd [Body]

Output: ummm that place is empty, maybe the weather?


Input: [Date] 5 years 30 weeks ago [Title] i think the penalty was a [Body]

Output: i think the penalty was a legit call if it was the first quarter, which goes back to the scenario whether or not the refs should swallow their whistles at the end of the game


Input: [Date] 5 years 30 weeks ago [Title] i believe in rr and think [Body]

Output: i believe in rr and think that eventually if given time he will get things right, but i am not at all happy going 3-9, 5-7 and winning 3 big ten games in two years. this rose bowl will help me have a better feeling on how the future will turn out with a very good spread o going against one of osu's lesser defenses in recent memory


Input: [Date] 5 years 31 weeks ago [Title] i'm tired of espn's shitty [Body]

Output: i'm tired of espn's shitty ass reporting of breaking news. it seems if anybody were to call any of their analysts with a tip espn trys to make the story as dramatic as possible, this has happened at least three times of which i can remember. 1)les miles to michigan with tenuta as d.c. 2)urban meyer is resigning and his coaching career is over 3)probably less known by most because it happened at about 11 pm but they reported a couple years back that manny ramirez had signed with the yankees, to only take the story back about a hour later saying manny has showed interest in joining the yankees. why can't espn just wait for a damn press conference and air the news live, it is not like their are any sports networks that are going to run them out of business


Input: [Date] 5 years 31 weeks ago [Title] somewhere obi and jonas are [Body]

Output: somewhere obi and jonas are saying to themselves, "but i thought coach hopson told us to always worry about the short routes the safeties will save our asses if any one goes deep."

Output: i was not a big fan of the adidas hats until i just got one for christmas, it is pretty amazing, i am only starting to think of all the activities i can do with it.


Input: [Date] 5 years 32 weeks ago [Title] i was thinking of possible [Body]

Output: i was thinking of possible choices and realized that chris spielman is not a coach, yet he was interested in the osu job back when tressel got it. spielman will eventually be a coach and would do a great job as our lb coach but he would never want to coach for michigan because of the whole osu thing


Input: [Date] 5 years 32 weeks ago [Title] i think dews has done a good [Body]

Output: i think dews has done a good job, i believe that hopson was the only coach on the staff that seemed like he absolutely had to go. gibson is getting damn close but he is a pretty good recruiter and rr will never fire him.


Input: [Date] 5 years 33 weeks ago [Title] michigan degree [Body]

Output: i wonder if athletes realize how many doors a u-m degree opens. their are so many execs around the nation with u-m degrees and michigan alumni tend to take care of one another. also what does "i don't think his mother wants him to" mean. does that mean she doesn't want him to transfer or that she doesn't want him to return to michigan


Input: [Date] 5 years 34 weeks ago [Title] please don't neg me to death, [Body]

Output: please don't neg me to death, but like i said below i went to school with the brothers and graduated with mitchell and myles. mitchell was the nice one of the bunch, with myles and dare i say it austin being huge douchebags. austin needs to grow up a lot in the coming months and i think being in ann arbor will help him because his dad will be close by as the principal at pioneer.


Input: [Date] 5 years 34 weeks ago [Title] i went to high school with [Body]

Output: i went to high school with those brothers and graduated with the twins who are at msu. i was shocked to find out that mitchell was the one who was involved in the incident, to me he seemed like the nice respectful one of the three, with myles and austin being a little cocky and full of themselves, but they are playing/going to be playing football at FBS schools so i guess they are entitled to be full of themselves.


Input: [Date] 5 years 34 weeks ago [Title] so im studying for finals [Body]

Output: so im studying for finals this week and decide to see what is going on here. i open this thread and it confused me soo much that i am convinced i am now fucked for my finals


Input: [Date] 5 years 34 weeks ago [Title] i hope not, he needs another [Body]

Output: i hope not, he needs another year to gain some good comand of the the strike zone. i went to a game early last year the tigers were winning by eight and perry came in. he threw about ten pitches with 1/2 of them wild and at least two behind the batter.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Boy, it's a good thing Brian [Body]

Output: Boy, it's a good thing Brian didn't have a doctorate educated cerebrum get in his way of pointing out what a horrible case the author was making. Otherwise we wouldn't have all been able to read this post.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Right, but he was clearly [Body]

Output: Right, but he was clearly posing with different recruits in some of the pictures (if you look at the collection of tweets some of the recruits tweeted the pics with him). I'd assume that Michigan cannot send out any tweets of him posing with recruits, but that the recruits are more than welcome to do it? I dunno, NCAA rules are strange.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 6 days ago [Title] That is not what he said. [Body]

Output: That is not what he said. Unless you are referring to a different team on a 12 year drought.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] Brown [Body]

Output: An elite player on the basketball court as a lot more of an impact than an elite football player. Only 5 guys on the floor at a time as opposed to 11. Plus he'd player a larger portion of the game. No comparison, really.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 4 hours ago [Title] I think it was Jay and Mr.X. [Body]

Output: I think it was Jay and Mr.X. It'd be nice if they could prove the two had some sort of connection. I don't understand motive for any of them though. It's obvious Jay was involved, probably more than he admits to, but Mr.X is a strange dude. I just can't get over him finding the body when even the corroner couldn't find it despite knowing where it was located.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Are you implying Harbaugh may [Body]

Output: Are you implying Harbaugh may just be a better coach than Hoke? I'm not sure how that idea will be accepted around here.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Michigan is 2-3. Arizona is [Body]

Output: Michigan is 2-3. Arizona is 5-0.


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 5 days ago [Title] They had Funchess listed as a [Body]

Output: They had Funchess listed as a TE. Mentioned that he may play mostly receiver. This list is not well done.


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Title] Here's one, he has bad skin. [Body]

Output: Here's one, he has bad skin. In terms of football ability, I don't really have any. He's pretty good.


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] He's shown he can get around [Body]

Output: He's shown he can get around tacklers. There are 0 other running backs on the team that have shown that ability. I agree that Brian may be a little overenthused about Shortfleet (good one!), but he's shown he can bring something to the offense that nobody else has. It'd be beneficial to get him more involved. I don't know why I'm trying to argue this with you, you're clearly a troll, but I'm a sucker, clearly.


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] Who is this Northfleet you [Body]

Output: Who is this Northfleet you speak of? I'm not sure, but you make a great point, short guys are all bad at football.

Output: Lulz


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] I think one of my favorite [Body]

Output: I think one of my favorite things about this video is that MSU seems to be wearing different uniforms in each clip. Oh, and all the SPARTY NO! moments.


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] This segment focused on going [Body]

Output: This segment focused on going to parties at night. I think it is fair to assume that this goes on at most places. I'm not saying the schools encourage it, but I doubt it is discouraged. One thing that's worth pointing out is that in some recruit interviews and OSU type stories, it seems a lot of SEC schools have hostesses that guide the recruits around and provide sex. That, to me, certainly seems to cross a line. I'm under the impression that Michigan and most B1G schools (read: not including Ohio) don't partake in such shinanigans. While at the same time, I do think these schools leave it up to the players to take recruits to parties and the like. I think that's a significant difference. Maybe it isn't, and maybe that's not accurate, but that is the impression I get.


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] Since a muffed punt can't be [Body]

Output: Since a muffed punt can't be advanced by the defense, I'm going with option 1 because I think he may muff a punt or two but isn't likely to fumble it. Plus, I think Norfleet has the ability, just not the experience yet. Oh, and I'm 100% confident you're a douche. I know it wasn't part of the "Norfleet Challenge," but needed to be said anyway.


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] 27-24, Michigan [Body]

Output: 27-24, Michigan


Input: [Date] 1 year 48 weeks ago [Title] Well, I'm sure Ohio is glad [Body]

Output: Well, I'm sure Ohio is glad they don't have him now. Last thing they'd want is some artsy-fartsy nancy-boy on the oline. /Bucknutted


Input: [Date] 2 years 3 days ago [Title] Why is this video so top [Body]

Output: Why is this video so top secret? When pacman slapped a chick at a bar the video was out right away.


Input: [Date] 2 years 1 week ago [Title] 1.) Super original joke. Nice [Body]

Output: 1.) Super original joke. Nice work 11W! 2.) This joke doesn't even imply anything bad about Ann Arbor. Personnaly, I think it smells delightful. Like deli's and football all in the same glorious location. Once you've smelled it, you will literally step into the city of Ann Arbor. 3.) Not even an insulting joke. Nice work 11W!


Input: [Date] 2 years 1 week ago [Title] Wait, but all I've heard from [Body]

Output: Wait, but all I've heard from Chad Ford is that McGary was stupid for coming back? I don't know what to believe anymore.


Input: [Date] 2 years 1 week ago [Title] Thank you for the disclaimer [Body]

Output: Thank you for the disclaimer before the joke. That always makes jokes funnier. Seriously.


Input: [Date] 2 years 2 weeks ago [Title] I know you are just posting [Body]

Output: I know you are just posting this to be a douche (success!), but do you really think Trey talking is more important than Trey playing the sport that made him famous? If so, I can see why you have such a problem with these threads.


Input: [Date] 2 years 2 weeks ago [Title] You're Magnus. [Body]

Output: You're Magnus.


Input: [Date] 2 years 2 weeks ago [Title] What qualifies any of us to [Body]

Output: What qualifies any of us to talk about any of Michigan's sport team? For most of us, nothing. I, for one, still enjoy the discussion and reading everyone's opinions. Well, except for people who disagree with me, they're dicks. What I'm saying is that I enjoy the feature, even if not everyone on the panel is some sort of expert.


Input: [Date] 2 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Desmond Morgan [Body]

Output: I don't think Desmond Morgan gets enough credit for outplaying his ranking. He's certainly done more than Frank Clark, at least at this point.


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] I hope you don't make all you [Body]

Output: I hope you don't make all you life decisions based on the fact that "it may not pan out."


Input: [Date] 2 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Denard continues to break [Body]

Output: Denard continues to break barriors. He was an All-American "Back" and in now an OW. Glad he's continued creating new positions.


Input: [Date] 1 day 18 hours ago [Title] It's a beautiful campus year round... [Body]

Output: ...if you know what you're looking for.


Input: [Date] 1 day 20 hours ago [Title] I'll take it [Body]

Output: I have to spend the next eight days in SEC country, and not Florida or Tennessee. I'll be in the heart of it, Baton Rouge and Birmingham among other deathbeds hotbeds. These 17 second clips will probably be the best 17 seconds of my day.


Input: [Date] 2 days 10 hours ago [Title] Combo effect [Body]

Output: I think only PSU has more living alumni than us. Plus people know what Harbaugh has done in previous stops. If we win the B1G this year that means wins over likely top 10 teams, maybe top 5 teams in OSU and MSU. It's not crazy if we have good QB play.


Input: [Date] 2 days 23 hours ago [Title] He was trolling folks during the Fiesta Bowl also [Body]

Output: He was on Twitter talking about how much RichRod sucked and their losing in the Fiesta Bowl was proof that he was the wrong coach for us. Considering how many eggs we have laid in bowl games over the years, he should've known better than to use a bowl game in the new CFP-system for proof that RR sucked. Bad fit for us? Maybe. But man, it's time to stop analyzing the coaches. Maybe he's better analyzing players.


Input: [Date] 4 days 11 hours ago [Title] Great, another childish meme is over. [Body]

Output: Michigan man...gone Ohio...back in Athens, OH. But hopefully Harbaugh is able to grow more Walmart Wolverines in Pasadena, Miami, Dallas and any other places the CFP will be held.


Input: [Date] 4 days 14 hours ago [Title] That bullpen is a disaster [Body]

Output: You don't win a playoff series with that type of performance. I agree about the Cespedes/Porcello trade, but it only works out if either Cespedes comes back or those guys we got from the Mets pan out. Porcello didn't forget how to pitch suddenly, so I expect him to bounce back next year. Oh, and Dombrowski never could make that Fister trade good. If he would've held onto Robbie Ray, it would be a good deal. But he flipped that into Shane Greene. I still think that was his only series of bad trades here.


Input: [Date] 4 days 14 hours ago [Title] He would've been a FA anyway [Body]

Output: His contract stipulated he be a FA five days after the season. And this team was going nowhere with that bullpen (Did you watch last night's game?). It's better to get something for him now and convince him in the offseason to play in 2016 and beyond in Detroit. And your shitty GM built a team that four straight division winners and two AL pennants. If Verlander, VMart and Cabrera were healthy all season, this team is likely at least five games better in the standings.


Input: [Date] 4 days 14 hours ago [Title] Does this mean no NCAA '17? [Body]

Output: That's the really important question.


Input: [Date] 4 days 14 hours ago [Title] He's not coming back unless we overpay [Body]

Output: It's the "Detroit/Auburn Hills" tax that the Tigers, Lions and Pistons have to pay.


Input: [Date] 4 days 17 hours ago [Title] Paging Mr. Lewan... [Body]

Output: ...Paging Mr. Lewan.


Input: [Date] 4 days 17 hours ago [Title] On the flip side [Body]

Output: I would love the opportunity to strike the pose in an OSU endzone.


Input: [Date] 4 days 18 hours ago [Title] What does UMHS have to do with a marching band? [Body]

Output: And how is this not OT?


Input: [Date] 5 days 13 hours ago [Title] Maybe best double thread ever [Body]

Output: I wish there was a thread about the best double threads ever.


Input: [Date] 5 days 14 hours ago [Title] Source? [Body]

Output: Your title says something, but the message says nothing. I can't find anything yet on the Detroit papers or ESPN. I want to see what "major league ready" prospects we get.


Input: [Date] 5 days 14 hours ago [Title] I'm married [Body]

Output: My wife cares.


Input: [Date] 5 days 14 hours ago [Title] My grandma's bbq ribs [Body]

Output: She could run a smoker with the best of them. Fall off the bone ribs and a sticky, sweet bbq sauce that has a little kick.


Input: [Date] 5 days 14 hours ago [Title] Well, that was specific [Body]

Output: Don't be so wordy next time.


Input: [Date] 5 days 15 hours ago [Title] Crystal balls are only useful... [Body]

Output: ...30 minutes before a commitment is announced. Other than that, it's all for watercooler talk.

Output: That should've made sitting on them uncomfortable


Input: [Date] 5 days 17 hours ago [Title] Worst sports day [Body]

Output: My wife had two tix for us through her Allstate internship to see the Cubs at Wrigley in 1999. She got ready late, put us on the wrong trains in Chicago and missed our chance to pick the tix up at Will Call. Oh, and Sammy Sosa hit two homers that day. How she went from girlfriend that day to wife four years later is still a mystery to me.


Input: [Date] 5 days 18 hours ago [Title] Outside of obvious days (births, wedding day) [Body]

Output: My 16th birthday. We beat OSU 28-0. My grandmother surprised me by flying a case of he awesome ribs up to Michigan. Finally, the girl I had the biggest I had the biggest crush on called me to wish me happy birthday. Was the first time she ever called me. And we stayed on the phone for hours.


Input: [Date] 5 days 19 hours ago [Title] Lightning + VaTech season opener [Body]

Output: Congrats on your threescore and ten


Input: [Date] 5 days 20 hours ago [Title] I'll take both [Body]

Output: Though I am getting less optimistic about any non-committed players out of NJ. The season can't start soon enough so these guys can see an on-field product worth buying into.


Input: [Date] 5 days 21 hours ago [Title] Creepy Twitter strangers serve a purpose [Body]

Output: They make me feel better about my life.


Input: [Date] 5 days 21 hours ago [Title] RichRod and posts about flaccid footballs should be banned [Body]

Output: Everyone is getting bent out of shape about what happens in the lives of millionaires that don't impact the current team. Even if RichRod would've said "no comment" there would be 200 posts about Carr, his defenses, slot ninjas. Even Flaccid-ball-gate posts are getting ridiculous. People getting bent out of shape about Brady and that dude is having his way with Giselle in their mansion. Both RichRod and TB are in great situations and thanks to Harbaugh/Hackett, so are we.


Input: [Date] 6 days 13 hours ago [Title] Thanks to other people's poor grammar [Body]

Output: It took me longer than everyone else to notice the play on words.


Input: [Date] 6 days 13 hours ago [Title] Since the whole crew is staying home [Body]

Output: I doubt there is anything dirty going on here, but this feels like a huge coincidence.


Input: [Date] 6 days 17 hours ago [Title] Without DA, Yale Van Dyne was our #2 WR [Body]

Output: In both the FSU game and UW game, we did not have a competent WR opposite Desmond. So teams could focus on him because our other threats were too slow. I'm not saying we win either game. But I am saying that we probably stick the ball in the end zone or hold onto the ball longer with another All-American out there on the field.

Output: One Maize to rule them all,


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Having seen both play in person at the HS level, I think Morgan is a good example. Morgan was a bit more athletic, competition better too. But not worlds apart, by any means. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad [Title]

Output: Having seen both play in


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I'm sure you don't care nor need to be validated. But I have no connection to Austin and no real connection to Onsted and I have been told everything you just said, by several different people. So yea. I'd agree that he's a kid a lot of people have on their radar. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad [Title]

Output: I'm sure you don't care nor


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I think you're being quite fair. And given my perception of the scholarship situation I find it to be an odd offer. But as I said, Bo Ryan was very interested, and I believe (hearsay admittedly) ND's coach attended a game as well, so it's not like he's some random player. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad [Title]

Output: I think you're being quite


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I've seen him play in person at least 5 times. You're assessment isn't really wrong. Athleticism may be an issue. Competition is suspect to say the least. But everything I have ever been told is that he's a great worker, smart kid. Bo Ryan has watched him in person several times as well. Bigs, especially 6'10 bigs, develop late.

Output: I've seen him play in person


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Body] Double Post..... derp. [Title]

Output: Totally Agree


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Body] Even if it is not true, my brain processes Brandon Graham=Magnus. When I picture him as I read posts, I picture Brandon Graham speaking. Come to think of it.....same way with His Dudeness and Woodson. [Title]

Output: Totally Agree


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] Was a complete disaster. No hurry up. No imagination. You have 4 plays to not only get a first down, but also to take shots downfield. Instead they burn two minutes of clock and gain 9 yards. [Title]

Output: The whole 4 play series


Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Body] So, uh, who's the girl in the scrolling pictures? I'd love it if it is just the generic stand in used for that particular graphic and she was intentionally left in the mix. Also, good write-up. [Title]

Output: Girl...


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Body] issued a statement of support. Only condemded the specific use of player's names and said the fans love the coach. [Title]

Output: The AD


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Body] I kinda wondered how the board would react to this because there is so much consternatation regarding Hoke's pressers. Granted, this is a total extreme... the complete opposite end of the spectrum, but I'd gladly take Coach Hoke's "coachspeak" over this any day.... especially calling out specific players. [Title]

Output: Coach Hoke


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] Buzz! Your girlfriend....Woof! [Title]

Output: Buzz


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] but the PGB handle reminds me THE PROCESS days when we were all avoiding work and pouring our hearts into speculation....... [Title]

Output: Yea I know


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] I'm just happy profitgoblue is back. I asked for his return about two weeks ago! [Title]

Output: profit


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] Are the one that clicked on it. You are the one who continues to post. Don't like the thread? Don't read it, don't post in it. [Title]

Output: You


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] Well said. Being happy and acknowledging a good season aren't the same thing. Me? Not happy. But I also see that work Dantonio has done and understand what he and his staff accomplished. [Title]

Output: Very


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] I was just thinking we need someone who can judge REAL Michigan fans based on their message board postings. [Title]

Output: Thanks.


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] I just looked up halcyon days on Wikipedia. [Title]

Output: So


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] I thought about this concept after the minny game when we scored over 40 points and blew them out and he was still filled with ennui. Some will say that he gets paid and this is his choice.... And with that come knuckleheads. But, I can see that wearing one down a bit. [Title]

Output: Great post


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] I can see that point. Fair enough. [Title]

Output: Yea


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] Fandom has become about negativity. How many Michigan fans said they hoped blue lost this week for one reason or another? I read a lot on this board. It's just easier to be negative for a lotta folks and make it about them. Personally, this is the best I've felt after a loss in my 26 years of fandom. I thought they played inspired football today. [Title]

Output: I think this is just what fandom is


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] That's the issue here [Title]

Output: Bring back profitgoblue


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] I have been reading since haloscan days. I usually don't agree with Brian on much. But the dude gives us a great product. For free. The board has been awful this year. But some of the front page content this year has been top notch. [Title]

Output: Brian


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] Named after Jhonny Peralta? [Title]

Output: Is jhon harbaugh


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] The passion and fight this team had today was at a level that has been missing for many parts of the last decade. When was the last time their effort stood out like it did today? [Title]

Output: Today


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] I was there and saw it plain as day. Clark made a gesture with his hand (honestly I don't know what it was meant to convey) at yelled something. The official was right there and threw the flag after the hand gesture stopped. [Title]

Output: Clark


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] That wiscy team getting dominated at home as we speak. [Title]

Output: Doesn't say much


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] I have had season tix since I was 2 (26 years) and I never had a visiting contingent be so prevalent around me. My dad and I were pretty anxious about it. But when the game started it was fine. Guess I got lucky. The older guy next to me even apologized for his player throwing a punch! [Title]

Output: That sucks.


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] What your saying is, you didn't like the call? [Title]

Output: So.


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] I have heard a lot of horror stories about OSU fans. And, the area around my seats were completely full of buckeyes. I was worried it was gonna be awful. But they were actually fine, and an older gentleman next to me was quite nice to share the game with. I was shocked. [Title]

Output: I was worried


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] QB- $2 Henne RB-$2 [Body]

Output: QB- $2 Henne RB-$2 Wheatley WR- $5 Howard Defense- $5 Woodson Coach- $1 Harbaugh


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I am correct in assuming this [Body]

Output: I am correct in assuming this is sarcasm, correct?


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Title] The main flaw is that you are [Body]

Output: The main flaw is that you are taking final rankings and comparing them to rankings that are about a year away from being final. There are huge changes in rankings during the summer going into players senior year and the fall of their senior year. This is because a lot of players get evauluated during the summer (which is exactly what has happened with these 2 *'s.) It will not surprise me if a lot of these .85 and lower players are actually quite a bit higher come the final rankings.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 10 hours ago [Title] That is not true. The guys [Body]

Output: That is not true. The guys harbaugh is offering are still plan a type guys and he obviously really wants them. However as the year progresses you need to move on to plan b and c when your plan a guys dont commit. These guys the coaches like, but aren't necessarily exactly what they want. So they dont always really want them, but they have to fill needs.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 10 hours ago [Title] Olgas was a local thing? I [Body]

Output: Olgas was a local thing? I just assumed it was a national chain.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 1 day ago [Title] What a terrible fucking [Body]

Output: What a terrible fucking title.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 1 day ago [Title] He was at Arizona before [Body]

Output: He was at Arizona before that. A pretty big red flag goes off to me when someone has transferred twice.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Your taking isolated [Body]

Output: Your taking isolated incidents and trying to only use those to create a narrative you have already predetermined in your head. Frank gore publically was raving about him and talking about how he was family. Luck was also saying how great he is and how fortunate it was that he got the opportunity to be coached by him.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] What is the split m and why [Body]

Output: What is the split m and why is it called "the split m"?


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Easily brown. 1 bball player [Body]

Output: Easily brown. 1 bball player has a lot more of an effect on the team, even if it's one year.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 3 days ago [Title] It's a satire website... [Body]

Output: It's a satire website...
