Input: [Date] 5 days 17 hours ago [Body] bulletin board material. That game / moment was one of many embarrassments last year. Not sure if the players ever get anything but a clinical play by play view of each game, versus the big picture feel, but watching the television version of every one should have been required before spring practice. (Net: if that was ok to you / it was just a few key blocks or coverage corrections, have a nice life. If you are embarrassed and angry, and this eats at the competitor in you, you're in.) [Title]

Output: That hopefully is

Output: Xander, is that you?


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 hours ago [Body] Wasn't 1984 the 6-6 Jimmy broke his arm season? I was there / suspect the wave became popular because Bo was still in his pre-passing phase, and the cloud of dust games got pretty boring. We didn't put 40 on the board that season:http://bentley.umich.edu/athdept/football/fbteam/1984fbt.htm [Title]

Output: I call BS on the winning by 40 points


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Body] that all their prior contribution is out the window. (Would like to know the context behind the "bummed" and the fill in to why considered other options.) Everything I have seen from Harbaugh tells me he is looking for ultra-competitive guys who live and breath competing every day: no laurels. Another example: the camp promotional material changed from "come and learn skills", to "come and compete". It's like the Marines: "we're looking for a few good men". I think both points of view are OK. Especially considering the last two season's records in the coaches' case. [Title]

Output: I agree that it sucks for the players


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] Sold out in 5 minutes. There was a lot of angst from those who slept in or who's mom didn't sign in right away. Of course they are $10 a game so the only real skin a student has in the game is the ability to buy season tickets the next year. (If you don't attend or someone doesn't attend in your place, you can't buy season tickets the next year.) [Title]

Output: Alabama ' s Student Season Tickets

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 17 hours ago [Body] and a soda (pop) or bottle of water. Ticket prices aren't so bad (as demonstrated by their ultimate free market value on stubhub in a good year). It's the PSDs and concessions that really lay the gouge on the wallet. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 17 hours ago [Body] or exams to cram for? We even had to use this thing called a typewriter to type the final version of our papers - if you screwed up or wanted to make a changed - you had to re-type every page after the change (freshman year, my sophomore roommate had an Apple IIe). Those demands haven't changed. I don't think that's it. I am betting the fact that you can watch every Michigan game on TV has a lot more to do with it. There was a time when only two or three a season were televised, and those were ND or another big non-conference game (Miami, Colorado, Washington), Ohio State and whoever the hot Little 8 team was that year: the games you wanted to be at live. Between the convenience of staying at home for snoozers, and the slowed pace of the live experience, ESPN and BTN are why there is a less compelling reason to go to games. [Title]

Output: Like we didn't have labs to do,


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 17 hours ago [Body] and you have time to actually ponder about an identity other than "dad", then you may find a resurgence in interest. As all things Michigan seem to be a big part of your (WD's) identity, you'll gravitate back. So all is not lost with kids my friend. [Title]

Output: However, as your kids get older,


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Michigan was winning, even against teams like #1 ranked Miami (YTM), Michigan State and Ohio State. (Sadly this is a forgotten experience of late - so the concept of wild elation is probably foreign or abstract.) [Title]

Output: Could have just posted the picture


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Body] than it was. My oldest son just graduated, and we compared my grades and GPA in high school to his. To be a competitive college applicant, he had to take a much harder schedule than I did, including 8 AP courses. His weighted GPA was a full point higher, but his unweighted GPA was just slightly lower than mine, and he was a full 5% further out in class rank. His SAT score was 200 points higher than mine. (I think part of the difference in test scores is better prep-books / practice tests, and his AP coursework leading into that third fall senior year final test.) For clarity, I went to high school in Reston in Fairfax County, VA, which at the time was one of the top school districts. He went to one of the top high schools in Wake County, NC. The student body make up is similar. He did not get into his top choice schools (UNC, UGA). My conclusion: while overall grading may be "easier" today, what you have to do to get into a school like Michigan is more difficult. Those that get in completely on merit have been competing at the highest level all through high school, and more kids are competing because parental involvement is higher. [Title]

Output: Eh - I think it is way more competitive now

So you could say / think you had eight drinks, while actually drinking more. Either way, if you've had more than one - maybe two with dinner - that should be your trigger for not driving. No way I'd ever get behind the wheel after 8. [Title]

Input: [Date] 7 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I took what he said as applying to all his players - even the smart ones - due to the time and travel commitment all of them have. Even a 4.0 / 1400 SAT type is going to have a lot of challenges and prioritization conflicts during a semester (e.g., a major paper or lab due on Monday and a major exam to study for coming off a Saturday night road game). I think he did a great job saying this in an encompassing way. [Title]

Output: I only read the OP's post - not the entire article


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 1 day ago [Body] If you are worried about privacy, posting stuff on the internet is like yelling it to the whole world. Once you've done it, everyone can see it. And don't assume those privacy settings actually work the way you think either. If I were the OP, I would edit my post though and take the links out (no need to tempt the rest of us to be stalky without putting some effort into it ...) [Title]

Output: Exactly what I tell my teens at the dinner table


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 1 day ago [Body] was he more zone blocking or not? He had a tendency to pre-brief his captains of the overall strategy, and start an engagement as one line of battle. He had attracted a set of smart, resourceful, like minded followers over the years, and once engaged they were to break the traditional formation, and engage where they saw the most opportunity: "No captain can do very wrong if he places his ship alongside that of the enemy." From that standpoint I don't see pulling guard, I see zone blocking. I'll give you the Essex (which is actually what the movie Master and Commander is modeled on), but the British blockade was more Alabama, versus a good high school JV spread team. We had a few athletes but no line. (Wait - that is what you were saying isn't it?) As for O'Brian and Forrester - they both had books outside there series that were excellent as well. Forrester wrote one about WWII in the Med called The Ship that is excellent, and of course The Good Shepard. Anything by O'Brian is excellent, and can be read several times - especially on those trying days where you just need to escape to another time and place. [Title]

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 5 days ago [Body] It was a line drive off the bat and as a base runner you are taught to freeze. Obviously getting doubled up there would have been disastrous. I can understand in the heat of the moment that she had a mental breakdown when she froze. I think Hutch needs to help her there though. I didnt see how vocal she was but she needs to yell at her to go once the ball hits the ground. [Title]

Input: [Date] 18 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I am pretty surprised about this decision. I bet he was really torn by the decision. He was an Ann Arbor kid who loved Michigan and changed his number to 9 because of Brendan Morrison. I for sure thought that he would come back and be the captain of Red's possible final year and hopefully bring the team back to the NCAA tournament. [Title]

He also has two years on his contract and I don't see why he wouldn't coach those two years. John Bacon feels the same way also.

Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] Hahaha, you really think that the jerseys of good players with nameplates were obtained from the garage sale? It's called having connections and I would know because his friend hooked me up with jerseys also. Have you seen any decent players with nameplates on eBay? I didn't think so. [Title]

Output: Hahaha, you really think that


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] So you must know who this guy because you apparently saw him take and buy 100 jerseys from the garage sale. He got the jersey for his wife and the jersey didnt fit his wife so he had no use for it. He bought 4 jerseys to wear so its not like he bough 30, and yes if he wanted to buy a shit ton more he could have but he isnt one of those people. Maybe you shouldnt assume these fact because it makes you look like a douche. And names dont mean jack shit. Just take a look at ebay, you seem to look everyday and complain about how people post a million jerseys. If you saw pictures of the garage sale you would have noticed that there were 8 full racks of jerseys and that there were plenty of jerseys for everybody. I was just saying that everyone knows there is a huge market for Michigan stuff and when you sell over 1000 game and practice jerseys you know some are going up on ebay. I dont see you calling the two people assholes who won spring game jerseys through mgoblue and then quickly put them up on ebay to make a profit. For the record, my friend lives in Chelsea and doesnt need to use the excuse of paying for gas and whatever you want to add to that. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] The guy from Belleville has one jersey up on ebay. He is a friend of mine and only bought like 4 jerseys for him to keep aside from the Ezeh. So dont be calling him one of those douche bags that puts up a million jerseys when he only has one up. You can blame David Brandon for putting over 800 jerseys for sale last year and then over 8 racks of jerseys this year. And people can post all the jerseys they want, I bet you 75% of those will still be on ebay next year. There are jerseys on ebay that were obtained from the garage sale last year that are still on ebay. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 4 days ago [Body] I dont know if UM cannot recognize the TCK socks but I know of a story from a guy who knows big jon and he said that back in 2008 when we went to that monsoon in South Bend, the players wanted gloves that were specifically made for the rain. Well these gloves werent Adidas gloves, these were some other company who mades gloves that were good for wet/rainy games. Big Jon handed them out that game and I guess Adidas was not to happy with them wearing some random company. So now UM players have to wear Adidas gloves no matter the weather or Adidas gets pissed. I love DB but I always give him crap for whatever he can do to make money to help the university like T-Shirts for these one time games or anything the team wears he tries to get it in the MDEN stores. Yet, I sometimes end up being one of those people that end up in MDEN purchasing one of those warmups or workout shirts....oops [Title]

One pair is a navy blue Mohair Tube pair and they are amazing in the winter, by far the most comfortable socks I have ever worn. The second pair is the white with the black M's on there. The package just saus "TCK Performance". He said that these socks were the wrong length. They are really comfortable as well, essentially the same as the navy ones I have. [Title]

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Title] It seems to me that you and I [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I understand these arguments, [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Baseball is somewhat random [Body]

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

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


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 2 days ago [Title] If I'm not mistaken that [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 2 days ago [Title] At some point doesn't the [Body]

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

They kept everything locked, but we found a tree next to the fence on the on the Crisler side that was helpful in getting over the fence. Depending on the security guard's enthusiasm and weather, you could get a lot of time in on the field. It was pretty epic after a fresh snow. The best part is that the security lights were bright enough for you to see pretty well. I'm sure it's totally different now. Thanks, Dave Brandon.

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

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


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I had similar experience too, [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] Damien Anderson dropped a sure TD on 4th down for Northwestern. Thought we had it wrapped up after that. A-train fumbles without anyone even touching him. Seriously the worst fumble I have ever seen in my life. Skip ahead to 6:00 for the ridiculousness. [Title]

Output: 2000 Northwestern

Output: MAC game wouldn't be complete


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 1 day ago [Body] So, if I remember correctly, the class limit is 25 but you can sign up to 28 if you back date those three scholarships to the previous year. They can only do that if there's less than 25 from the 2015 recruiting class (no problem) and there's room on the 85-man total limit in 2015. Maybe I don't completely understand the back dating process, but it's all I can think of. So if you let Pipkins go this year, you can sign 26 in 2016. That said, in order to sign 26 in 2016, they would have to give a firm handshake to something like 12 out of the 15 (current) redshirt juniors. I don't see 12 of these guys being shown the door for their 5th year: RB Drake Johnson OL Blake Bars OL Ben Braden OL Kyle Kalis OL Erik Magnuson WR Jehu Chesson WR Amara Darboh DE Matt Godin DT Ryan Glasgow DT Willie Henry DE Tom Strobel DE Chris Wormley LB Allen Gant CB Terry Richardson S Jeremy Clark [Title]

This is like a UTL game for Utah; the cheapest ticket right now is $285 on StubHub. That stadium will be hostile and U-M will be lucky to get out of there with a win. [Title]

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Body] that blue team with the yellow Clemson helmets might be the slowest high school team I've ever seen. I know Enis is fast, but the run at 3:36 he's basically even with a guy at the 30 and 5 yards ahead 30 yards later before the kid gave up. If you do a rough extrapolation to a 40 time for the defensive kid (30/25 * 4.35s for Enis), it's like a 5.2 for a cornerback. No wonder Enis racked up 383 yards on 17 carries. I still like this pickup though, we need RBs with some Denard-esque speed instead of all the bruisers we've been getting the past couple years. [Title]

Output: His highlights


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I'm a PC gamer and haven't owned a console since N64. These sorts of shenanigans happen all the time in PC gaming. I've been burned a few times and have stopped paying for anything while it's still in "beta." Planetside 2 was the breaking point for me. I loved PS1, paid a sub for a good year or so before that game went to shit. I was so excited for PS2 and SOE strung people along by saying their shitty game "is still in beta! anything can change!" even though the cash shop was open. The actual game never materialized; in two years they didn't improve the gameplay at all and just kept milking the shit out of people by releasing more cash shop items for people to buy. I can understand supporting a kickstarter for some indie game company to make a game, but people shouldn't subsidize a big studio with pre-orders and paid beta access. It's like when the rich billionaire owners of sports teams con the local fanbase into building a new stadium with public funds. The big game companies are just laughing at you. [Title]

Output: It's ass-wee-pay dammit!


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 2 days ago [Body] This was back in the late 80s, so a while ago. I started out playing spring and fall rec ball at age 6-7 and I was a really good sweeper/stopper because I just didn't give a shit about my body and attacked everything on the defensive end of the field. I was a maniac and faster than most kids my age. At those younger ages, you can get by without having any real dribbling or passing ability. I would stop a kid and just blindly boot the ball as far down field as I could. I made the travel team one year (literally last kid on the team) and it was fun, but I knew I was way worse at soccer than the other kids. I didn't really try too hard, and our team sucked anyway (never won a single game that season, outdoor or indoor). Didn't make the travel team the next year and went back down to rec ball. I got picked up by my old rec coach that knew me from before. This team was horrid and we got smoked a minimum 6-0 every game. I think one time we lost 13-0. Our goalie was too short to jump and slap the crossbar; anything within a foot of the crossbar was going in. Rec ball at age 10-12 is different than the younger ages because you get some kids that have played for 4-5 years and were just short of making the travel team playing along side kids that have never played before -- there's a huge disparity in skill/talent. I was getting slower in comparison to other kids, and my dribbling/passing still sucked. You don't get a whole lot better playing rec ball. I got frustrated and quit soccer after that year. Either case is sort of frustrating, but finances aside, I think I'd rather be the crappiest player on the travel team than the best player on the rec team. At least then you can get some decent coaching. [Title]

Output: Makes sense


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Initially, in middle school, I used to feel that I didn't want to disappoint my dad, or I thought my dad would ground me if I got a B. My dad was a very intense guy with an intimidating personallity. This is what I often told my friends, as sort of an excuse, but it was not true at all. My dad actually told me to lighten up at the end of high school and certainly in college. So I wrongfully blamed him for a lot of the pressure for good grades, but in reality it was pressure I put on myself. I remember getting a B in ninth grade (my only B in high school -- stupid English class); I almost had a nervous breakdown. It wasn't competitive reasons or anything, I was just a perfectionist. I guess I just didn't like getting Bs. Another important factor was that I also worked a job constantly in high school. I turned 18 in November of my senior year, which meant I could work whatever hours I wanted. I think I typically put in about 30-32 hours a week on top of going to school, which was not slave hours, but it meant that I couldn't screw around with homework and I had to get it done in a few hours on the weekend. I don't know why I worked the job so much -- the money didn't even put a dent into college tuition. I guess they just kept giving me hours and I didn't want to appear lazy, so I just kept taking them. I worked every Friday and Saturday night that year -- I never went to a high school football game or prom. I went to school on senior skip day. I had a weird fixation with working, I guess, and didn't care about being social. There were no outside influences to deter me from working. [Title]

Output: This is a pretty complicated subject for me


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 4 days ago [Body] but all-time favs are probably (no specific order) Coke from a can -- fountain Coke is just not as good to me A&W Root Beer -- everybody has their preferences in the root beer department (bitter vs. smooth), A&W is the smoothest to me and I enjoy it the most Old Sprite -- doesn't exist anymore; used to be a very seperate taste from 7-UP, but now they're pretty similar. I remember drinking a ton of it one summer when I was around 10 or 11. Faygo Redpop -- used to have pink cows as a kid, Redpop + milk Faygo Rock & Rye -- really nothing else like it Faygo Creme Soda -- this was like crack to me as a kid Dr. Pepper sometimes I would have a craving for Faygo Grape -- the flavor is so fake, but I still enjoyed it Vernors, of course I've never been a big Mountain Dew drinker, but I expect there to be some hardcore Dew addicts in here somewhere [Title]

Output: Don't drink as much pop as I used to


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Body] No doubt the biggest problem is that the team isn't as good, but the Big Ten in general isn't as good, either. Back in the 90s, the Big Ten often had 5-7 teams in the final top 25 and just about every other week was a big game against a ranked opponent. OSU was basically the same, Wisconsin was the same, MSU was worse, but Northwestern, PSU, Purdue, Illinois were all better. Now the Big Ten has more teams total, but less in the final top 25; only four last year (with Minny at #25) and only three in 2013. The overall schedule quality is just not there. [Title]

Output: Still going, but the games aren't the same


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Body] During U-M football games back in the mid 90s, the ABC camera guy was right on the field on a small platform that rode back and forth on a track. If you had lower seats in the student section, the guy was always in the way whenever anyone got near the endzone. Students constantly threw stuff at him. One guy a couple rows in front of me throws a full-sized pop that hits the camera guy square in the back of the head. The camera guy goes completely apeshit and tries to climb down from the platform and come after him, but doesn't realize there's a huge wall from the field to the stands, so he just kind of stood there and yelled a lot. ABC remedied this situation by putting a big plexiglass shield on the back of the camera platform, but someone still managed to hit the guy by throwing their pop with a huge arc. That camera guy just hated life. The other crazy story is when the Zamboni broke down on the ice at Yost and had to be towed by the other Zamboni, except the guy that hooked the chains up didn't actually connect the Zambonis together (he passed the chain around nothing, basically) so the tow truck Zamboni just drove off without towing anything. The whole area erupted in laughter. [Title]

Output: Mine are pretty tame

It was carbureted; to prevent it from stalling in the winter, I had to brake with my right heel and rev the engine with my right toes. It was so bad in the winter. My dad sold it when I was in college. [Title]

Output: 1984 Mercury Capri


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I haven't watched every play, but there are holes to run, it's just that some improvisation is required 2nd quarter, 6:16 left -- Braden is playing LG and pulling to the right. The right side is completely sealed to the inside by Kerridge and Butt, there's no defense outside at all. Braden recognizes the middle is clogged up and bounces outside and would have been free to block anybody on the outside, but Shallman follows the intent of the play (power) instead of following Braden and gets 2. 2nd quarter, 5:35 left -- Braden has Strobel on rollerskates way to the right. Dawson is RG pulling to the left and was supposed to go behind Braden, but the Braden/Strobel angle causes him to go upfield of Braden and set him up perfectly to kill Bolden if Shallman cut back inside, but instead Shallman goes outside and gets tackled by Bolden while Dawson blocks air. 2nd quarter, 0.40 left -- Dawson pulling left, Kerridge lead blocker. This play goes 100% according to design and Shallman gets 9 following Kerridge. [Title]

Output: Watching Blue Offense vs. Maize Defense

Output: prefer we fill the class to the maximum scholarships available, or just take the right amount for depth and focus on 2016 kids? I ask bc depth isnt that bad in some areas, and perhaps taking a class of 10-12 now would be better then a full 16. Next year 16 spots appear to be open, and with a year of HARBAUGH maybe he has a better chance to grab that elite talent next season. Just curious what everyone else thinks,

Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] The way I read the situation [Body]

Output: The way I read the situation was we told him that in order to play again he'd have to sit for at least six months. As an uncommon senior that would likely be the death knell of his playing career. He's transferring to Texas tech where he has to sit for a year anyway. I'm not sure that the two schools doctors were actually in disagreement. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Output: Are you high? I'm not sure that I've ever seen a player carry a team as much as Denard did for three straight years. Without him the dumpster fire would have been a dumpster inferno. I thought you people would shut up after the disaster that our offense became as soon as Denard left.

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I think my major issue with [Body]

Output: I think my major issue with this is that people go to university to learn to become the person they are, they find their own views. If we start banning things because people are discomforted by them, it's a slippery slope to only having one accepted viewpoint. I haven't seen the movie, but I highly doubt it's "The Birth of a Nation: Part Two". I think if you don't like something, by all means speak out against it and say why you find it wrong. I draw the line when it comes to surpressing what you dislike. As far as the safety issue goes, I find it to be overblown. Racist assholes are going to be racist assholes, this movie is not going to change that for better or worse. Especially on a progressive campus like U of M.

I just have seen people like her in action enough to know it's primarily about attention and I can't take the hypocrisy behind it seriously. I'm definitely a little biased from past experiences, but I don't think my preconcieved notions will end up being incorrect on this one.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 4 days ago [Title] It has nothing to do with [Body]

Output: It has nothing to do with American Sniper, but it does relate to the situation. If this girl is throwing pork at a fellow Muslims door, I think it calls her motivations and integrity into question. Considering that she is primarily behind this blowing up, I find it to be relevant.

Output: I think the point is that the girl concrned about anti-muslim sentiment caused by the film, also allegedly threw hot dogs and eggs at Mahmoods door. It takes away a bit of credibility.

I would leave a terrible country if I hated it and had the capability.

Output: You're a troll. Man, I kept thinking you were just the biggest downer on the board but now I get it. Well played. You didn't come in strong like a lot of trolls do. You kept it cool, didn't go too negative too quick, just threw out pissy little comments like you were a grumpy old man who was new to the internet. Those stupid comments you left on the Beveled Guilt page were genius they were so non-troll like. We all bit and started arguing with you. But then I saw this comment and it gave you away. But you were able to hide better than most trolls. Well done, now go delete this profile and start a new one so we can play this game again.

First you sound like a dick about donating and you can argue that point all you want but most people read it as a dick-ish comment. Second, you take a shot at old Jewish women, really classy. Now you're on some bitch-fest about the use of sir. I think you need to do the opposite of what Dave Brandon would advise. Go have a drink and stay up for a while. You need to blow off some steam.

Output: Also, the glass houses thing only works for those who have committed the crime. If the poster was against sexual assault of all forms, including Gibbons allegations you can't say it's their fault the university did nothing. I can say I don't approve of Winston's behavior because I've never gone rogue with a pellet gun, stolen crab legs or shouted obscenities in public.

May see something similar in college especially if schools are willing to give up tons of control that the NFL GMs won't. Granted, I don't think you'll see Belichicks in college just like you don't see A list actors in TV but some crossover may start to happen. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Output: How else do you end it though? Finales are often deemed as crappy and I don't think it matters because no one is ever happy with a good series coming to an end. I don't know how they're supposed to just end something like that. Plus six episodes is way too few for a show. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Output: He played at Weber State and I watched him a lot cause I'm a Griz fan. He was unreal. I would say Rodney Stuckey was the only guy I've seen in the last 15 years to come through the Big Sky Conf with that much talent. Those two just dominated everyone. Weber got him because they recruited him hard early and he blew up his senior year and some PAC 12 teams came calling but he wanted to honor his commitment to Weber. By all accounts he's a stand up guy. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Output: No. I'm sorry bit I doubt an adult version of Harbaugh pines for Michigan's acceptance like he did back then. Plus, we need him more than he needs us. For UM to "string him along" would be quite possibly to dumbest strategy in the history of coaching searches. Any any hiring process or negotiation it's all about leverage. We have none other than his love for Bo and the program that UM was 20 years ago. His leverage is a fan base dying for him. In negotiation a the person who wants it the most wins.

He gave his opinion just like everyone else. The difference is that someone is willing to pay him for his. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Output: He was a great kid when he got here. He stood up to all the critics and owned up to mistakes and the adversity may have made him a better person but he would have come out of any university and been a great representative. I give no credit to this program for making him who he was because he would have been that way no matter where he went. We just got to see the best of him because of all the nonsense. This program owes him everything. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 6 days ago [Title] RR inherited a mess as well [Body]

Output: RR inherited a mess as well and while there were a lit of issues into his dismissal he was improving the team every year. This program has regressed under Hoke and that is the issue. You are correct when you say that rebuilding a program takes time but RR left a 7-5 team that went on to win 11 games the next year and Hoke has run that into the ground. These are almost all his recruits and they're not performing. I like the guy but he's not getting the job done. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Output: What did I ignore? I haven't read all of his comments on football so I could be missing something. I was just saying that Hoke runs a clean program and the University brass probably appreciates that, especially after the drama of Brandon. Couple that with him being a person people like and you have a couple reasons not to fire the guy if you're the president. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Output: The difference with Hoke and Brandon is that people hated Brandon and he said/did things that embarrassed the school. Granted, the teams performance is embarrassing in the college football world but not to the University. If there was scandal or cheating or sanctions it would be different but I don't know if Schissel cares about wins and losses as much as another Pres. I think Hoke is gone but it's hard to fire nice people especially in circumstances like this. It's a possibility he's here next year. Not likely but still a possibility given the current climate.

Output: Do you know his coaching tree? I've never looked into it so I'm curious who he's put out there. I know Chavis has been with him awhile and probably could have taken a HC if he wanted but appears to be set at DC. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'd Love to Argue [Body]

Output: But really, that's all people need to do from ages 18-55. A good advisor know that it's from 55 on that you earn your money with tax advise, healthcare options, insurance services, diversification, etc. I would always recommend people max their retirements first but if you still have left over savings you need diversify into things outside of the market. Most advisors won't explain the benefits of owning income-producing R/E because they don't make the advisor money. Nor will most go into life insurance, fixed annuity or long-term care insurance which is really what a lot of baby boomers should worry about with the increasing cost of healthcare. Most just tell you to put it all in the market because historically it makes 8%. Then you get set to retire and the market dives 20% and now you can't retire because it was all in one basket.


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 2 days ago [Title] That rate may seem normal for [Body]

Output: That rate may seem normal for us in an unsecured loan but someone with Jack's financial standing at the time should have commanded a much lower rate. My hunch is he didn't know, the parents didn't care/understand and the guy saw dollar signs so he jacked up the rate knowing they'd never question it. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I work in the [Body]

Output: I work in the banking/investment realm and I'm by no means an expert but I agree with you. One day of work would have set him up for life. I've seen terrible stuff and to answer your question, they come from everywhere. I had a woman brag to me about how her advisor made her 10% last year and I didn't have the heart to tell her the market made 20% so basically a monkey could have gotten her 2x what her advisor did. Then she kept telling me how he was so good at buying and selling stocks and I'm almost certain he's churning her portfolio to generate commissions. Makes me sick.

Input: [Date] 36 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Do you think the effects of [Body]

Output: Do you think the effects of playing high-level football play into this? I'm not saying that so that it's an excuse I'm asking if that violence needed in the field and the head trauma that can come along with it cause players to be more likely to abuse?

Input: [Date] 36 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Thanks [Body]

Output: That was a really great response and I appreciate that. I re-read mine and the first part came across as condescending so thanks for not blowing up on me about that. You may be right about this not being the first time I just feel it's such a serious thing that it's dangerous to state that he's done this before. Every situation of abuse seems so unique in terms of the demographics of the people involved but I know, as do you, that there are patterns in how and why they happen. When you mention the reactions of first-time victims and and victims who this has happened to before what tips you off to tell you which is which?


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I said I agreed with a lot of [Body]

Output: I said I agreed with a lot of what you're saying. I also think it's good to have discussions about topics like this whether they be in person or on a message board because it brings awareness. I just don't think it does any good to cite things as fact when it's really an opinion or in this case to give a diagnosis when you're not the doctor treating someone. I'm not saying there's a reasonable explanation for any of this but I also don't know all of the facts behind Franks mental makeup. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Please don't be the person [Body]

Output: Please don't be the person who states a fact when it's really just a guess. You can bring up your background to give your opinion more credibility but don't state a fact in a legal case where you have no idea if it's a fact. Has he hit her before? We don't know so don't act as though you do. That does no one any good. Stating opinions as actual opinions is a much better idea. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I agree with some of what [Body]

Output: I agree with some of what you're saying but if you're not a doctor directly treating someone please don't make a diagnosis of them on a message board. A lot of people cite an abusive situation from their life and say that this is the same thing and it's not. It's a unique situation just like everyone's abuse story is unique. Their all tragic as well. But let's not make a diagnosis and act like we know anything definitive about Frank Clark's psychological makeup. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I'm late to game on this but [Body]

Output: I'm late to game on this but wanted to just remind people that no matter what you think of Brian's post and what Frank did, he is so young. I'm almost 30 and feel like the choices I make now are 1000x more intelligent and wise than the decisions I made just 5 years ago. I was so misguided in my emotions, decisions and outlook on life it makes me wonder how I made it through. And I had a very comfortable and happy upbringing with great parents. I know it's easy to be an adult and condemn this because it was so wrong but normal young people make awful decisions like this and knowing that we're still dealing with a kid and not a grown adult is important. No one on here is wrong for how they feel but I just think it's key to remember that he's still a kid in terms of mental development. we all were at one point and this may not be the man he becomes just like most of us aren't the kids we were in our early 20's.

Output: I agree with you on the class size reason. In normal times I think this is a better debate but we are not in normal times. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] I do agree with you in this [Body]

Output: I do agree with you in this case with the class-size but it's something to think about when you can get 20+ kids then it might be worth taking two QBs. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] One thing to keep in mind is [Body]

Output: One thing to keep in mind is that all of those guys might not stay if the new coach comes in. there could be some transfers and I really wouldn't consider Bellomy much of a quarterback in terms of depth. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] 2 QBs in a class [Body]

Output: what are people's thoughts on getting two quarterbacks in a class? i think in certain situations it's not a bad idea and if you can get a high recruit like Malzone and a project like this kid it can work out. Jackson does have the size and athleticism to be a tempting prospect.


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I don't think you can call [Body]

Output: I don't think you can call the past two years stable. Results have been worse every year and the program is in turmoil. One more year crates the program more and he still gets fired. Do you think this team is better next year with Hoke or has a good long term outlook with him? Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 1 day ago [Title] While I don't think Stoops is [Body]

Output: While I don't think Stoops is coming here I think Wetzel's point is interesting. There have been rumors that OU fans are frustrated with what they see as disappointing seasons the last few years and I'm sure Stoops sees that as a being a bit ungrateful. Wetzel seems to reiterate that it won't happen but it's worth UM's time to at least feel it out. I doubt Stoops leaves but if things were to get stale or the fanbase chases him out then it seems plausible. I know most of us would say we would take the last 14 years of OU football in a heartbeat and say "how could they be upset with his performance" but he has high expectations and has been a disappointing few years. The only thing that gives this credibility is every other time a good coach left somewhere because of absurd fan pressure or excessively high expectations.
