Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] I remain cautiously optimistic [Body]

Output: about Michigan football. As far as flying vs. invisibility, the answer for me is flying. But only if it's, like, really fast flying. Invisibility is awesome if you want to be deceptive, or could possibly gain a tangible advantage by hiding information (like your existence/presence). But if I could fly really fast, I'd save tons of money on transportation and do so legally. I would wear my briefs outside my pants, however.


Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Title] Agree. [Body]

Output: If we don't put this game in Devin's hands, we will lose. Of course, he might make too many mistakes and we lose. But that's better than the alternative.


Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Title] Love the optimism, [Body]

Output: but I would be very surprised if we win big in this game. I agree with your thought about our D vs their O, though. We have a deceptively good defense and it's suited to stop an offense like this.


Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Title] I thought Friday is a big day too. [Body]

Output: I remember hearing that's when the "sharps" come in and lay some real money on lines that have drifted too far in one direction.


Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Title] Pretty spot on, IMO. [Body]

Output: It's funny that people describe Devin as having flashes of brilliance mixed in with huge mistakes. Al seems to fit the same description.


Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Title] Thanks for posting this. [Body]

Output: I was going to be stuck in the purgatory of watching the TV show Parenthood. Now, I'm being a gentleman by letting my wife have the TV, and I'm getting to watch this game. A game I thought I wouldn't be able to watch.


Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Title] I'm holding my grade for now. [Body]

Output: I agree that the last 4 games have been concerning. However, how/if we change our ideology following this game will certainly influence my grade. In 2011, after the Iowa loss, we stopped trying to force manball and let Denard be Denard. In 2012, we immediately moved our WR to QB to improve the position after Bellomy struggled. In both cases, I felt as though it represent a needed, but likely philosophically uncomfortable change by the staff. I am cautiously optimistic that we'll see a similar type of change after last night and we'll stop regressing as a team. Go Blue.


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] 1. 2003 Minnesota [Body]

Output: 2. 2004 Rose Bowl 3. 2002 Purdue. About 4 days prior to that game, I broke up with a long-term girlfriend who was very uncool about my football addiction. I remember waking up on that Thursday and realizing how nobody was going to try to stop me from going. Understanding that you are now "free" is pretty damn great.


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] Neither answer is wrong [Body]

Output: But I always pull for ND in this one. My hatred for Staee has grown over the years more than my disdain for ND. Also, we always want our rivals to lose and ND isn't a rival. /s


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] Still not early enough. [Body]

Output: I used to have a recurring nightmare that I would awaken from a coma to find out that I had missed the Michigan football season. I would yell at the nurses and doctors to leave me alone. Then, I would have a friend bring me all the games on tape so that I could watch them one at a time in sequential order. My worry now is that I awaken from a coma to find out the medical staff got me up just in time for the week preceding that game.


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] I remember looking up Gerg's "stats" for his last [Body]

Output: season at Texas (co DC) prior to going Syracuse. Before their bowl game, Texas gave up 3 second half points all season. I thought we landed a Mattison/Tenuta type of DC when we got Gerg. Clearly, I was wrong. Also, clearly, Gerg likes to rub my face in it. And by "it" I mean a stuffed animal.


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] My ears are still ringing. [Body]

Output: Granted, we were yelling so loud that the lady in front of us left after the first quarter. I felt bad, but, like, if I'm there, I'm supposed to yell loud, right?


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] On a blog full of awesome/insightful comments, [Body]

Output: your Tommy Rees description is the best I've read in awhile. I share your concern. I really think Michigan wins tomorrow, but I doubt Rees is the player who beats ND.


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] And shortly following that was a [Body]

Output: "Houston's Better" chant. Because Houston actually scored a FG on us. That was awesome.


Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Title] Agreed. It's a positive feedback loop. [Body]

Output: If you are recruiting well, you can afford to play the freshman. Playing true freshman (who deserve to be on the field) helps you recruit better.


Input: [Date] 1 year 48 weeks ago [Title] So good. [Body]

Output: I went to Michigan for undergrad and Central for grad school. Of course, goes without saying, I'm hoping Michigan rolls on Saturday & I don't want a close game. As much as I like the idea of Michigan curbstomping everybody they play, I'm always in the "respect your opponent" camp. Probably a little more for CMU than I would for most other schools. As such, I really enjoy this wallpaper. I mean, I enjoy all your entries, but this one feels perfect. Well done.


Input: [Date] 1 year 50 weeks ago [Title] Agree [Body]

Output: You lose a "pipeline" school when you are not genuine with a recruit or string him along. That certainly isn't the case here. It's all good. This is a really good situation for both Cass and MSU. In the long run, I don't see this as being a big concern for Michigan going forward with re: to the recruitment of Cass Tech.


Input: [Date] 1 year 51 weeks ago [Title] Vodka and Gatorade [Body]

Output: In the spirit of the Bioshock franchise, I call it "Vitarade."


Input: [Date] 1 year 52 weeks ago [Title] I agree. [Body]

Output: I'm old (35) and could easily say that personally, I do not want to go to a night game. But they are obviously good for recruiting and TV, so it's all good. I'll go, be happy and realize that as a parent and spouse, my family is going to get kinda dicked the next day with an inattentive meat sack. But we should never, ever play MSU at night. That is inviting truly bad things to happen. I thought last year Air Force would have been a great UTL game. I mean, you aren't going to get involved in shenanigans with a crowd like that unless you deserve it. But, I know we aren't going to play Air Force every year. I don't know what the answer is, but it's not MSU.


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 days ago [Title] Certainly could be a "surprise factor." [Body]

Output: But, I think what counters and trumps the surprise factor is the fact that up until about 11pm the previous Saturday, Gardner was a WR. I know he played the position in high school, but for over 6 months, he was studying and practicing as a WR. I rewatched the Minnesota game this past weekend. Gardner looked pretty lost in the beginning of that game. That is absolutely not a knock on the guy, because most athletes could not have done what he did. You could actually see his handle on the position return during the course of that game. So, in his first 5 games after playing at WR (and at a high level too), Gardner had this streak. I think of how sometimes guys really struggle with transitions to just a different spot on the same offensive/defensive line. But, since little nuances specific to each position on the lines exist, that makes sense. What Gardner did does not make sense. That kind of productivity without the focused practice and studying for the QB position is absolutely incredible. I'm not going to hold him to an unreasonable standard. But, after what he was able to accomplish with so little preparation last season, I feel their is literally no cap on what this guy can do.


Input: [Date] 2 years 3 weeks ago [Title] A day off of work, alcohol and blowing shit up. [Body]

Output: That's a party. Go red, white & blue!


Input: [Date] 2 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Awesome post [Body]

Output: But I have to disagree with you on "outside of football, he's a perfectly respectable guy." Of course, I don't have any facts, but if any of the coed rumors are true from Florida, he's a real sack of crap as a person. I also remember reading a collection of tweets from his daughter prior to accepting the OSU job and they were all along the lines of "he promised us no more football." Whatever. I'm not bagging on you, Bay_Area_Blue. As I said, I really liked your post. I just really don't think Meyer is a good dude. I do think his culpability with the Hernandez issue is zero percent, though.


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Wife and daughter are making me breakfast. [Body]

Output: Later we will be going to see the movie "Epic" in 3-D. Watching cool kids movies is a good perk of being a dad. I will likely be experiencing one of the best perks of fatherhood later in the evening when the kiddo is all gorked out on popcorn and glucose. That would be impromptu songs about things like armpits and stinky butts with an oscillation of singing voice between choir and heavy metal.


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Great points [Body]

Output: For me, with the constant barrage of grief I take from the large number of Spartan in-laws, the win vs MSU really helped bring me close to a sense of closure. Which I understand is a stupid thing to say. Not because I'm talking about Staee, but "closure", in and of itself, is complete. But as you're saying, LSA, it's our trajectory that creates the sense of comfort for what the program is doing. We're back and we aren't going anywhere for a long time. Even when we lose, we seem to be getting better, IMO. But as many of you have said, it's the B1G title and Rose Bowl. I'll probably get a little emotional the next time I see us run out on the field in Pasadena. Hopefully that will be this season.


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Title] Agreed. What I find very frustrating is when Michigan [Body]

Output: fans say something to the effect of "yeah, but despite the officiating, Louisville made the big plays down the stretch and we didn't." Wrong. We did make plays down the stretch. Our unanimous player of the year made a legendary play at a critical point in the game but it was taken away by the officials. So many bad calls in that game. If we get just a few of those to go our way, I really think things would have turned out different for us. As an intentional method of getting past this game, every time I think about it and get frustrated, I think about what we have to look forward to this fall. We're back in football, and things are about to start getting really good again.


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Title] I don't think they are balanced, [Body]

Output: but you make excellent points. I'm just so happy that the division names are inspired by a compass.


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Drinking [Body]

Output: I am proud of our young men, coaches and university. I will be totally fine, soon. But for now, I am drinking every night after I get home from work and trying to move on. I love this team and feel that things c/should have turned out differently.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] We are playing in the most important [Body]

Output: basketball game of the year and we just read a thorough synopsis inspired by one of the most important authors ever. And it was well done. Agreed. I love this blog for all the right reasons.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Vociferous, if I get one word. [Body]

Output: Proud and emotionally friable if I were to get a few more words.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Whatever you paid, it was worth it. [Body]

Output: The shirt is awesome. Great pic. I hate not being there right now, but stories/pics like this make me feel a little closer to the action. Thanks for posting it.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Crap. [Body]

Output: Thanks for the info, I was afraid of that. Oh well, it's all good. The thing about Kickstarter isn't that I get it, it's that we all get it.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Did the duo + shirt, excited as hell. [Body]

Output: But while I was surfing around Kickstarter, I found another project I want to back that ended 7 days ago. Does anybody know how to, well, I guess "kick" an already kicked project? I feel like maybe I'm just too stupid to click on the right icon.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Well, you are doing a great job. [Body]

Output: Thanks to your comment, I feel cute and appreciated.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Clearly, I am the fat man on this site. [Body]

Output: I usually wear an XL, but with the Climalite, I order a large. It doen't look unreasonable on me, but then again, maybe it's my love handles that are unreasonable. Whatever, I'm too happy about the Final Four to worry about being fat.


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Agree. [Body]

Output: Gardner is a smart kid and a smart football player. He's also one of the leaders of this team. Good move to publically endorse him being a leader on the field. This is nothing but pure upside.


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] I can literally smell the Axe [Body]

Output: I can literally smell the Axe body spray with stale Marlboro Light undertones coming from the brah who first said this. Well, cheers to us winning a Natty this year.


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Should they get a #4 seed? [Body]

Output: I mean, recordwise it's an easy answer. Michigan wouldn't deserve a 3 seed. But I think Minnesota, or any other #1 seed, deserves not to have to face Michigan in the first round. I guess in the hockey tournament, you don't have any bad teams. I've just been thinking over the past couple days how frustrated I'd be if we had to play a North Dakota or BC in the first round if the situation was reversed. Either way, not our problem this year. Just win today and we'll have fun finding out what happens.


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Title] I try not to follow any future Michigan athletes for that reason [Body]

Output: Seriously, what if you even "favorite" one of their tweets? They would get an email from Twitter with your name and digital thumbs up. Is that considered contact? Doubt it, but not worth it.


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] I was thinking the same thing. [Body]

Output: I don't know if there's a decent "backstory game" every year because that's what you'll get when you randomly throw opponents together 30+ times, or if it's by design. I guess whatever the selection committee says, I'll believe the opposite because I don't trust the NCAA. I think we end up as a 3 seed in Auburn Hills. Fingers crossed.


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] I think the score may be a little lower, [Body]

Output: but I agree with Michigan by 1-2 points. I'll go Michigan 60-59. I also predict that McGary is going to have another big game.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] I don't know how many times [Body]

Output: I sat in front of my computer showing that clip to my then 3 year old daughter. For weeks, she would keep asking "can we watch Denard say WHAAA?" /proud dad


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Same for my wife. [Body]

Output: She's a Sparty grad, and unaware of the contest, but somehow found a way to vote on this. Sheer will, I guess.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] I have always noticed and hated your [Body]

Output: avatar pic. Not because it's bad. But because it really turns me on. All of my personas get turned on by it. /s I have had several "preachy" phases where I wanted to create another account to spread my supportive word. It has never been political, religous or what-have-you bad. It's always been a slap-happy kinda "support our boys," but I have never actually done it. I probably never will either, but after last night's game, I really thought about it . . .


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Title] This is the end of my week off. [Body]

Output: So, I'll be thinking probably too much about how I wish I didn't need to return to work on Monday. I met an mgoblogger at a tailgate once. He gave me a homebrew that his son had made. Needless to say, I thought he was pretty cool. As far as "grilled cheese" variant, I heart all things that include cheese regardless of temperature. There really is no wrong way to consume cheese. I guess the only way to make it better is to include a meat with it.


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Agreed. [Body]

Output: He is really classy, but only if he wins.


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Still would be considered "New Money" [Body]

Output: Your rebutal of 3 conference titles in 20 years kinda helps prove the point. Prior to Heathcote, they had nothing. They want to compare themselves to the traditional elite in both hoops and football, but it's garbage. You can't claim to be a historical team with no national presence prior to 30-35 years ago (and even though Heathcote made the tourney and was even a one seed once, they weren't Duke, Kansas, UCLA or anyone else "historic" from the early 80's to the middle 90's). I hear the argument all the time from Sparty fans that their basketball is like our football. But, they aren't anywhere near the top 5 in wins, winning percentage, national titles, tournament appearances or even (all-time) conference titles. Their claim to fame is the decade from 1999-2009 where they won a bunch of tournament games, a national title and like 5 Final Fours. UCLA had a decade where they won 10 national titles. Don't get me wrong, they have an impressive program and something to be proud of, but (respectfully) get outta here with "historic."


Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Reminds me of a joke involving math classes at Staee [Body]

Output: Math 102: Subtraction, addition's tricky friend.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Just don't forget to send [Body]

Output: him a similar text when Wisconsin is unable to play up to their seed in the tournament. I've heard that officiating crews don't have to share one whistle when they reffing tourney games.


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Yeah, I actually thought that the game [Body]

Output: was pretty fairly officiated. I mean, as good as we can expect to get playing in a road game in this conference.


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Title] You have totally nailed it. [Body]

Output: I hadn't really thought of it that way, but you are right. The BTN is the tail wagging the dog in a lot of ways. Adding Maryland and Rutgers only makes sense if you actually generate interest in those regions. No question Michigan/OSU/Penn State will always increase interest and TV ratings when compared to other schools that aren't as polarizing.


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Hearing that he's played for only a few years [Body]

Output: reminds me a lot of Anthony Lalota. Not saying he'll have the same outcome, but limited data points always kinda concern me. But, I'm certainly not saying that I'm glad he's gone or anything stupid like that.


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] Your username and that comment [Body]

Output: go really well together.


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] ^this^ [Body]

Output: (couldn't help myself) Although I will never tire of the Upton gifs, it is annoying when they are inserted into a thread that isn't labeled "NSFW." I mean, I know that's the risk any time I'm on a blog site, so I'm not a victim here. It blows my mind how frequently someone happens to walk by me at work when something like that shows up. Meh, I guess being known as the "Upton perv" at work isn't all that bad. "Cool story bro" is definitely overused. If the frequency was cut down about 90-95%, it may start being funny again.


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] Awesome video, man. [Body]

Output: Great play selections and I loved the music.


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] I agree, Denard's patience is [Body]

Output: incredible when running with the football. I've always felt he's been underrated in that regard.


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] I'm so happy someone created [Body]

Output: this account. Strong work.


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] Godspeed. [Body]

Output: I wish there was an upvote option of "heroism."


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] I hate the home court bias. [Body]

Output: In the end, it's a wash. I don't think any team (at least in our conference) benefits more so than others, so every time we lose a close game because of it, I feel confident that we'll get the makeup when the game comes back to Ann Arbor. But I think it weakens the validity of the event itself. It feels like it has a "part show" quality to it.


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Title] I agree, [Body]

Output: that's a solid looking list. Including Michigan, he had 10 offers from BCS schools. Edit: Oops, I mean 11. Sorry Purdue, forgot you were a BCS school.


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Holy crap. [Body]

Output: Somehow I had never seen that first hype video. I just watched it and you are totally right, that was incredible.


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Hell Yeah!!!!! [Body]

Output: Go Blue! Awesome news!!!


Input: [Date] 2 years 29 weeks ago [Title] This is eerily similar to 2002 [Body]

Output: 'Bama (Miami), defending national champion and everyone's pick to repeat. Possibly complacent, but we'll see. ND (OSU), great defense with not-so-great offense. Got pretty lucky to win some of their games and easily could have lost several of them. I have evolved in the last decade, so if ND pulls an OSU and surprises everyone, I won't visit catatonia like a I did in Jan of '03. Clearly the difference with the "defending national champion" in this analogy is coaching. But I am definitely not going to count ND out in this game until they are actually out. Roll Tide.


Input: [Date] 2 years 29 weeks ago [Title] I love his attitude in that. [Body]

Output: It seems like it's excitement and confidence without being a dick. Awesome.


Input: [Date] 2 years 29 weeks ago [Title] I'm actually hoping they have that [Body]

Output: exact uniform distribution in the starting five. Two blue uniforms, two white and one maize. Suck on that, Oregon! /s


Input: [Date] 2 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Agree. [Body]

Output: I am not ready to be happy, or even neutral, for PSU in any way. I don't know when/if I will. I understand that the scholarship/bowl restrictions are going to crush PSU over the next decade, but I want that descent to happen faster.


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] I think our team is mentally tough. [Body]

Output: I know that's kind of a trite thing to say, but for some reason, I think it's actually going to have more of an impact on today's game than usual. We win an ugly, close game that comes down to making a big stop late in the fourth. Michigan - 20 USC - 17


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Exactly. [Body]

Output: I hope now they will stop with the "will play anyone" meme. Because you won't, ND. You broke a contract to get out of playing a team that had beat you 3 years in a row at that point.


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Title] College girls. [Body]

Output: I mean, obviously all the football stuff. But what 17-18 year old wouldn't want to come to college as soon as possible for all the obvious social reasons as well?


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Title] 89-60 Michigan wins [Body]

Output: 89-60 Michigan wins


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] I think this is a pretty big part of it. [Body]

Output: I also think it's a lot more of a gray area than people want to admit. If a kid is working hard in the flimroom and in practice, it's good for a team as a whole that he's rewarded and sees the field. Also, based on maturity, it seems reasonable that a player may benefit greatly from even limited playing time. We need WRs to step up next year pretty bad. I would imagine Darboh is much better prepared for that now after getting his feet wet.


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] Yep, me too. [Body]

Output: I had been admitted to the hospital with pneumonia for 4 days and discharged about a week before I got my letter. I tried to yell, but couln't make enough noise because my lungs and throat still felt all messed up. So I grabbed a rock and threw it at my dad's metal mailbox. I felt the moment deserved some degree of cacophony.


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] Yeah, this really stinks. [Body]

Output: I am not doubting that the punishment is the right call. I just wish for Floyd's sake, he wasn't involved in something that required this kind of punishment. As much heat as that guy has taken in the past several years, he had a really good season. It would have been nice to see him have one last solid game.


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] I am happy for RR [Body]

Output: and wish him well, but yo, I am definitely not going to miss watching our defense play like that.


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Title] I figured it wouldn't, but he's my buddy so I [Body]

Output: wanted to try to help him out. I did intentionally wait for the lull between OSU and bowl game to post it.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] I always saw Denard as the "first person to [Body]

Output: land on _____." Most likely Mars, but whatever. But, I guess those two positions aren't mutually exclusive.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] For the record, I have never been [Body]

Output: an mgopolice officer when it comes to: syntax, grammar, or "OT." But Hard Gay, my man, BG is never OT. If there is a thread generated tomorrow discussing his toots or BMs, it's still not OT. Because it's BG.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Yeah, last year this day was awesome*. [Body]

Output: We had a rooting interest in just about every game for Michigan to squeak into the BCS. Nothing to do today besides wait for tomorrow. *edit: As "awesome" as a day can be when our conference is holding it's championship game and we are not in it.


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Agreed, but this is certainly a concerning start. [Body]

Output: You can't play your way in to the tournament before January, but you can come close to playing your way out. I'm not going to panic yet, but again, this start is definitely concerning.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I wish I had a better answer than [Body]

Output: I am a highly functioning alcoholic. I never post on this board unless I double/triple check my work. My daughter watched the first 25 minutes of "The Return of Nanny Mcphee" or "Nanny Mcphee Returns, the Return of Nanny McPhee" or whatever it's called while I typed up my initial post. You can question anything I do/post on this board, and that's cool. But I assure you, I am not sober right now.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Agreed. [Body]

Output: Waiting for my buddies to show up and can't stop pacing. I keep finding myself in a different room in my house wondering "what was I going to do?" Can't wait for this game. Beat Ohio.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] "It's about good versus evil [Body]

Output: "It's about good versus evil and right versus wrong." Yep, that sums it up. We play a lot of schools that we don't like and the feeling is mutual. But when we play Ohio, it really does have the feel of something more than just a game. Our guys aren't playing just for us or the university. For this game, they are a symbol. They are a representation of what is right and good. Not just because we are Michigan. But because they are Ohio. The ideology they perpetuate is a blight and darkness on sports and education. Because we are playing them today, we are good. There is no other way to define the opponent of evil.


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Pretty much sums up how I'm feeling. [Body]

Output: I loaded the bike in the back of our van this morning because my family and I have a tradition of exercise before we consume mass calories. While loading it, I found a new Lego set that the wife and kiddo purchased for a family we've adopted through the our kid's school. When I found out what it was for, I got a little teary eyed realizing how fortunate we are. Thankful for: family, friends, safety, comfort, our amazing student athletes that represent our school so well, and mgoblog. In all seriousness, this is the best online community I've ever heard of/been a part of. I hope you all have a great holiday. Beat Ohio.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] I actually read most of that. [Body]

Output: I gotta say, with the language that young man used, fuck Jerry Kill. I know it's just one side of the story. But it's hard to believe that kid (after reading what he had to say) is some meathead who has a problem with "the state of things" in the Minnesota program. I will probably always have the default setting of siding with the player in situations like this. I mean, on one hand, who cares? Right? It's just football. But on the other hand, it's everything 18-21 year olds absolutely cherish when they are capable of playing for a D1 program. To be fair, fuck anyone who takes that away from a kid. And yes, to me, 18-21 year olds are respectfully "kids."


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] And much, [Body]

Output: much cooler apparel for us to buy.


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Denard probably doesn't need it, [Body]

Output: but I do. I would imagine I'm not the only one who feels this way. Denard isn't just a special football player, he's a special kid. I would feel so sad if I didn't get the chance to give him one more vociferous cheer following a play.


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Well done. [Body]

Output: I find it hard not to scoff at their "6" national titles. In 1957, Auburn won the AP poll, Ohio State won the UPI poll. MSU claims a national title from that year though. Historically, lots of different organizations gave away the title of "National Champion." Michigan could claim national championships (but don't) from: 1985 (Matthews, Sagarin), 1973 (National Championship Foundation), and 1964 (Dunkel). In 1955, MSU claims another national title from Boand despite Oklahoma having the distinction of "National Champion" given to them by: AP, Berryman, Billingsley, DeVold, Dunkel, Football Research, FW, Helms, INS, Litkenhous, National Championship Foundation, Poling, Sagarin, UPI, Williamson. I'm too tired to look up the rest of their national titles, but I'm pretty sure I read once that they really only have 2 legitimate national titles in football.


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Title] I love how traditions can evolve over time. [Body]

Output: When I was a student, I would get to the stadium way too early and grab a free program. I would hurriedly get to my seat and then wait. For about 75 minutes. My buddies would meet up with me much later, so I would pass the time stressing out over the game and reading "Punt/Counterpunt." Over a decade later, things have certainly mellowed out for me. I don't get to the stadium 90 minutes early and I certainly don't sit wringing my hands over the possible outcome. Now the waiting I do on Saturady morning is for everyone to wake up so that I can play Barbies, take the dog for a run and figure out which house I'm driving to after the game (in-laws, my house, her grandparents). But while I wait, I once again have my "Punt/Counterpunt." Awesome.


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Title] From what I could tell, [Body]

Output: he just ended up being a "tweener" kinda player. Not agile enough to be a wideout, but not able to get thick enough while still maintaining his athleticism to be an impact at TE.


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Title] He was. [Body]

Output: He was also initially a top 3 overall kid in the state of Florida (that Florida) before he moved up here for senior year in high school. I followed his recruitment pretty closely. He's a great kid. I understand his move and wish him well.


Input: [Date] 2 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Find a really dorky, sustainable [Body]

Output: obsession. Mine is playing a fantasy card game designed for 13 year olds. I can play it online any hour of the day. When the family leaves, I get to go nuts and when I wake up the next day, I'm not hung over. If that doesn't work, just go back to porn. It's actually quite sustainable.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] I agree with the overall sentiment. [Body]

Output: I really think Fitz's involvement in our rush offense "gets healthy" in this game. I would be kinda surprised if he ran for under 100 yards in this one. To be honest, I think he and Denard each run for over 100. I am worried about our non-Funchesses catching the ball. I think we win a close one, like 34-31 with our D making a couple of big 4th quarter stops.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] I agree, interesting numbers. [Body]

Output: Since this is a thread titled "QB Winning Percentage," I feel the need to interject a stat I find amazing. Only 4 times in the history of Michigan football have the Wolverines beat all four of their rivals in one season (OSU, ND, MSU and Minn). John Navarre was the last Michigan QB to hit 100% wins against that lineup (2003). What can I say, I have always had a soft spot in my heart for our senior QBs.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] I have 3 mgoshirts. [Body]

Output: I have worn the "I heart heart" and "Space, bitches" t-shirts probably 30+ times combined. Not one comment from a stranger. The day of the 'bama game, I wore the photobomb shirt to the M-den in Livonia and had 3 strangers verbally upvote it. What can I say, there's something enchanting about that hair and those eyes will hypotize you.


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] I'm not going to start anything, [Body]

Output: but I ain't taking shit either. Although I truly enjoy the atmosphere at Michigan Stadium, I feel like people get too much leeway to be dicks. Not today, brahs.


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Title] I disagree with you a little on that. [Body]

Output: Maybe after he leaves Michigan he'll return one. I mean, eventually he'll probably get there. But yeah, no way in hell he returns one while wearing a winged helmet. Certainly there's no chance he returns one at a critical point in a big game.


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Title] I feel like most teams [Body]

Output: in college football has a healthy amount of good kids on their squad. I have felt for years and years, however, that Michigan truly does have an inordinate amount associated with their program. This is yet another great example.


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Agreed, but unfortunately, [Body]

Output: Dantonio has been able to get them to play essentially their best games of each season against us. Nothing that happens this week from either squad will have me feeling great about that game. However, after watching our game yesterday, I do feel much better.


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Title] I can't stop laughing. [Body]

Output: It looks like the Denard photo appeared first. Members of the team thought it was so great, they decided to put their uniforms on for fun and take pictures of each other making the funniest poses to best utilize the picture of Denard. Clearly, Hagerup was the winner of that contest.


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Agree completely. [Body]

Output: Always nice to know how the rest of the country sees us, but our ranking is completely irrelevant for the rest of the year. No at-large BCS, no NT game. Win our next 3 games, and it will be pretty tough not to make it to the B1G Championship. Only goal right now is Pasadena. Based on how we looked yesterday, I really think we're the (eligible) team to beat right now.


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Come on, dude. [Body]

Output: You know that if it was our rivalry with IU, we'd want that protected too. I mean, who wouldn't want that game protected. /s


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Title] This is one of those great responses [Body]

Output: that is made even better if you imagine the poster's avatar as the one saying the phrase.


Input: [Date] 2 years 43 weeks ago [Title] I've read all your posts in this [Body]

Output: thread and I think you have a great insight in to this situation. I understand the idea behind the tape exchange, and I understand the idea behind the "honor system" involved. I find this situation very ironic, however, as there are also "gentlemen's agreements/honor system" issues with: -Faking injuries (MSU vs Iowa last year) -Not trying to intentionally hurt players (MSU vs us, yesterday's eye gouge, etc, etc) -Respecting your opponent before, during and after the game (too many examples to try to list) It's funny that you have a program willing to do so many things to gain a competitive advantage by bending/breaking written and unwritten rules, but cries foul when an opponent tries to do the same thing.


Input: [Date] 2 years 43 weeks ago [Title] My wife is a Spartan grad and is going to the OSU game [Body]

Output: tomorrow with her dad. The day is going to have an ironic "the circle is now complete" feel to it. Me: "hey honey, no Michigan game this weekend, what do you want to do?" Her: "how about you watch our kid all day while I go to a football game." So, it will be Jungle Java/putt-putt, toy store, pizza, movie rental, maybe a park and some arts and crafts. I will probably have the game on just to point out examples of bad sportsmanship to my daughter. When putting her to bed, we will have conversations about how many of the players on MSU/OSU need to be put in timeout. I will also add how Denard Robinson never needs to be put in timeout because he's awesome.


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Exactly. [Body]

Output: Remember how dumb we all thought Dantonio was when he refused to route for Michigan at the end of the '10 season? We beat OSU that day and MSU goes to the Rose Bowl (with a win of their own). Pulling for MSU this Saturday is the same thing. OSU is absolutely irrelevant this year when it comes to our bowl/Big Ten title aspirations. If they go 11-0 or 4-7 going into their game with us, who cares. We aren't getting an at-large BCS game this year, so we don't need to care about style points. So, the Rose Bowl is the only thing that matters and we have to get to the Big Ten Title game to get there. The biggest competition in our way is MSU. Every loss they get from now on makes our road to Pasadena that much easier.


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Title] You can keep your one TD Jesus. [Body]

Output: We've got TOUssaint(s). I realize that would give the incorrect pronunciation of his last name, but for this one night, it's probably cool.


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Title] "Weakest secondary he'll face all year." [Body]

Output: I agree with that and remain optimistic for the game as a result. No doubt in my mind, Denard has improved as a passer from the last several seasons. Add that to the fact the AB has a desire to throw the ball when things get tight (see MSU game from last year) and mismatch nightmares Funchess/DG and you've got a recipe for success.


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Your Denard-O-Lantern [Body]

Output: wins the internet. I am totally going to attempt doing that later this fall. Strong work.


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Title] I really love this idea for [Body]

Output: all your data points are belong to us. I have been a season ticket holder for a few years but did just fine "scavenging" for about 6 years following undergrad. I went to every home game one way or another. Contemplating giving them up and just scavenging again. The only problem is no guarantee for the big games. But for the money I would save off the top for not having to donate to priority seating plus the savings for games like this, I think I should probably pull the trigger by not pulling the trigger next year. I will be really interested to see how all this data shakes out.


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Title] I would love to have one of those shirts, but I traded it [Body]

Output: for a garden plot. For only $75, I have the opportunity to name one of the garden plots with my family. I think my daughter wants something like "we love you Tae, and we love Scooby Doo, and Pop Rocks and books." Although I think that is great, I was leaning towards something more like "mgogarden." I am really proud of Tae for what he is doing and I am really mgoproud of our little corner of the blogosphere for collectively kickstarting the kickstarter.


Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Title] What an amazing young man. [Body]

Output: Seriously. I have worked in oncology for over 8 years as a healthcare practitioner. I have seen more than a few cases where someone is diagnosed with cancer and the spouse leaves them because they can't handle going through the process. Te'o obviously could have left at any time and focused more on football, having fun, school, whatever. It speaks volumes of his character that he supported her through the process. I hope whenever it is that he returns, he has a career day as he will most certainly be playing in honor of those two women.


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Title] Great points by both of you [Body]

Output: I keep hearing how Borges is really stubborn. I'm not so sure I agree with that. Certainly he has a default setting with a list of tendencies, as does every coach. I am pretty sure "run a shit ton with Denard just for the sake of running him" is not one of them. Every OC, when running the ball, wants to be effective doing so. The most logical progression of that idea would be to get production from your RB, so as to leave as many avenues open for gaining yards. I mean, that's why a running QB in general is so damn hard to defend against. You have to account for both the RB and the QB in the run game. However, seeing how ineffective Fitz was yesterday (for whatever reason), he kept using what was working during that game. Moving forward, we probably are going to have tough sledding if we can't run with Fitz/Rawls/Smith. But for the game yesterday, I am glad he didn't use that as a crutch to keep insisting on "rock" in the game of rock, paper, scissors (referencing to a post from Brian several years ago discussing the perceived offensive philosophy of Carr). He coached during the game, calling what was working. I will never have a problem with a coach wanting to win a certain way or thinking that a certain method has a better chance of success in the long run. What kills me is when coaches seemingly refuse to pay attention to what is happening in a particular game. Yesterday, Borges was not guilty of that IMO.


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Title] After the game, [Body]

Output: Fred Jackson had the same assessment. Except Funchess is faster and has better hands than Johnson.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Wow. [Body]

Output: I can't believe how much better I feel about the Countess injury* after reading all the optimism in this thread. I am not kidding. I was overtly depressed yesterday and it had nothing to do with 41-14. I was looking at the Countess loss as the worst possible scenario for our defense. It's not. It may be damn close, but we do have some guys that are going to get their chance now to compete and get better while helping this team win. I do think that the loss of Countess will be tangibly noticable in several games, especially MSU. I think Maxwell is better than he showed on Friday (has a great skill set) and the loss of Blake will limit our ability to stuff the box and blitz. My prediction for the season was 3-4 losses with a Rose Bowl birth. I figured we'd lose to 'bama and maybe even ND to start the season and likely drop at least one more along the way. I'll stick with that for now. *feeling better from a selfish fan perspective. I still feel really bad for that kid. Hope he has a speedy recovery.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] I didn't realize that MSU [Body]

Output: chose not to play in a game of that magnitude. Alabama and Jerry Jones were probably pretty upset that MSU turned them down and went after us just to piss people off. I guess MSU probably chose not to play the BCS last year as well, right? At least MSU got to throw it's national relevance/clout around when the Big Ten got split in to divisions. Who wouldn't want IU to be their protected rival.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] I expect all of Michigan's rivals to laugh [Body]

Output: at what happened on Saturday night, but in private. I agree, it's just "boys being boys" to some degree, but they are still role models behaving poorly in public. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it, but I'd be pretty embarrassed if Michigan players did that. If they do that later this year, don't worry, I will be the first guy to say it's classless.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] I got pretty frustrated with that call [Body]

Output: because I feel like it went against the "spirit of the rule" of a ball being uncatchable. Uncatchable should be defined as "not a chance." In this case it was more like "very unlikely." IMO, "very unlikely" always deserves the flag.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] There was an LSU/Bama [Body]

Output: variant earlier this offseason. They spelled it "then" instead of in it's correct form above. What that tells me is that someone likely saw the first one, and thought the only problems with the shirt were that the teams and grammar were wrong.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Stay at home. [Body]

Output: Of all the sporting events I have been to (Rose Bowl, multiple Stanley Cup clinching games, NBA finals, Minnesota '03, ALCS and almost every home Michigan game since 1997), none of it even comes close to how awesome it was to meet my kid for the first time on her birthday.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I don't ever want to see a Michigan/osu rematch. It would take away the importance of the game which has made and broken the season of both teams so offen in the past. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Pipkins is a grown man. He was looked after by a doctor. If a doctor cleared him to play and pipkins feels he can play, then he should play. Harbaugh isn't a doctor and doesn't know how he feels. If Saban did this all you guys would be having a fit. Everyone here has a stiffy (including me) cuz harbaugh is now the coach so you're afraid to say anything negative about the guy. He wants to play for Michigan, let him fucking play for Michigan. [Title]

Input: [Date] 42 weeks 4 days ago [Body] My buddy and I go to one home game and one road game every year. Last year we went to the nebraska game. After losing to Michigan State I wasnt very excited about going. but once I drove the 9 hours to get there and sat in the big house it reminds me how much I love michigan and Ann Arbor. Maybe it's different if you live close to Ann Arbor, but no matter how bad things are going, I know that once I arrive I will have a smile on my face. Im making the 9 hour drive next Friday for the Penn state game with a very pregnant wife and It will be awesome to see those winged helmets and sing the victors. Hopefully without Hoke. Go Blue!

Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] I so sick of this site censoring every little thing worth talking about. Isn't there a way to delete the nasty posts, and let the interesting ones go. If you must lock a topic, why cant you at least leave a majority of the posts while not allowing any more replies so people can follow some of the debate. We cant be critical of the coaching staff, can't ever be critical of any recruit no matter how selfish they act or what they say, or if they take pics of stacks of cash or pose with bongs. You might as well just write what we should all think and forget the board, because its getting beyond ridiculous. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Body] As an ISU grad i can say that's not all true. Our basketball program doesnt suck, football program has grown a lot in the past decade, our women's sports are good, and iowa state has great vet, engineering, business, computer, and ag programs. Not a lot of eyeballs agreed, but there's still a lot ISU could offer the big ten. Our fan base bought all or just about all the allotted tickets to a bad bowl game against an opponent they already beat. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Body] I went to both games the last two years. Many more neb. fans in ann arbor than michigan fans in lincoln. I had the unfortunate pleasue of sitting next to a neb. fan who was also a spartan grad. He wasn't too horrible but you knew from sitting next to him that something just wasnt right. I think the tailgating is about the worst along with iowa city. Fans overall were nice. I did find it funny though I ran into the same husker fan outside the stadium twice who kept swearing and telling me to take off my michigan jersey. I asked a lot of neb fans last year ( including my father) how they were treated in Ann Arbor, and all of them said michigan fans treated them fine and they liked being in ann arbor. good all around fan experience i think for both fan bases. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 week 20 hours ago [Body] I still think the biggest problem early last season was Walton getting hurt in the Vilanova game. He had none of his explosiveness afterwards and couldn't help Caris share the load. IMHO the biggest thing the team needs to work on is Doyle improving his PnR chemistry with both Caris and Walton. [Title]

Input: [Date] 18 weeks 5 days ago [Body] If defensive effot is so lacking in the NBA, why do so many college stars all of a sudden see their efficiency drop when they get to the league? The NBA has better shooters, athletes, and game action. If given the choice between a UM game and the NBA, I'd watch UM 100% because I love UM. But if given the choice between a random non-NCAA tourney college game and a random NBA game? I'd always pick the NBA. [Title]

Input: [Date] 22 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Please don't compare Funchess to LeVert. Levert was the second best player on a Big Ten championship squad and helped win a FF game as a freshmen. He played thru the end of last season on a hurt foot and produced. He was the only consistent piece this year until he gets hurt. By comparison, Funchess was the epitome of the Hoke era in underacheiving. [Title]

Input: [Date] 33 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I'd bump your YPA average up a bit to maybe 7.5 YPA as 6 YPA would rank 111th in the NCAA this year. I agree with you about he ideal QB however. An accurate QB who has the ability to make the defense pay when they forget to pay attention to his legs is by far the hardest to defend for defenses. [Title]

Output: I'd bump your YPA average up


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] The complaint isn't that EMU is a cupcake, it's that EMU's coach is a former Cuse assistant who runs the 2-3 just like Syracuse does. Playing them first allows you to try out your zone offense so it's not as much of a culture shock when you play Syracuse. Once we knew we were playing Syracuse we should have had EMU moved earlier to the schedule (instead of say Detroit). [Title]

Output: The complaint isn't that EMU

Input: [Date] 37 weeks 20 hours ago [Body] If being "exposed" is beating a top 3 team on the road with a true freshmen QB, then yes Sumlin is "exposed" this year. If he wanted to come here, I'd break open the bank (note: I think there is a 0.0% chance he'd want to come here) [Title]

Output: If being "exposed" is beating


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Denard Robinson went 16-5 as the starting QB for Hoke and that's counting the game he didn't finish because he was hurt (thought that also counts the Illinois win he didn't finish). Denard Robinson deserves exactly 0.0% of the blame for Hoke failing and to say otherwise is infuriating. [Title]

Output: Denard Robinson went 16-5 as

Input: [Date] 40 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I did each of their stats in losses as well as with their two best and worst games by QB rating excised out. Admittedly not a perfefct estimate of performance, but it seemed a fair way to do it. Henne in Losses in 06 (@OSU, USC (Rose Bowl): 47/76 (61.8%) 576 yds 4 TD/1Int 7.58 YPA Gardner in Losses in 13 (@PSU, @MSU, Neb, @Iowa, OSU) 92/155 (59.4%) 1195 yds 10 TD/3 Int 7.71 YPA Henne in "middle 9" (excludes Minn, IU for good, CMU, NW for bad) 164/265 (61.9%) 1836 yds 16 TD 7 INT (6.93 YPA) Gardner in "middle 8" (excludes Minn, IU for good, Uconn/Iowa for bad) 150/248 (60.5%) 2027 yds 16 TD 9 INT (8.17 YPA) The fact is Gardner's bad decisions are very memorable, but overall he was very good last year almost any way you slice it up. The coaching malpractice of this staff with respect to his development is criminal and a fireable offense in and of itself. And that's not considering Gardner's athletic ability advantage. Considering the difference in talent on offense (Generously WR = equal, but RB and OL for 06 >>>>>>> Rb and OL for 13), it's absolutely infuriating that Gardner got as much criticism for his play last year as he did. The only Michigan QB to get more unfair criticsm in my lifetime was John Navarre and after that's it's not even close [Title]

Output: Fair enough I will do as you ask.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 6 days ago [Body] i think the difference with the AD search is that all those being floated with Michigan ties would be competent hires. It's also a reason why they might be interested in coming back as someone with no ties here may not want to step into the situation. It's not a bad thing to have ties to Michigan, it just shouldn't be the deciding factor. [Title]

Output: i think the difference with


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 3 days ago [Body] That's not the way statistics work though. Say we're a 30% chance to win PSU, Maryland, Norhtwestern and Indiana and 1% chance to win OSU/MSU. Then if each event is indepndent, the probability of losing out = (0.7)^4*(0.99)^2 = 0.235 or 24% approximately. So there is a 76% chance under those assumptions that we'd win at least one game [Title]

Output: That's not the way statistics


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I'm not the world's biggest Brandon fan, but I feel as if criticisms should be founded in facts. I believe Brandon actually donates more than his annual salary back to the University. [Title]

Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Body] This isn't a criticism as the non-athletic issues very much have needed to be covered, but it's nice to focus on some football again. Even if we aren't very good, we only get 12 games of these a year so I'll always look forward watching the winged helmets take the field. Hopefully Gardner comes out inspired and helps negate the Rutgers DL enough for us to come out with a victory. [Title]

Output: Appreciate some football focused analysis


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I don't think its atypical to not exhibit symptoms until a day later, but I think his point is that there is no conceivable reason that Hoke should not have been informed of his QBs injury status, especially when its a national news story. Just doesn't pass the smell test for me either. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 day 22 hours ago [Body] Sam Webb has been out of the loop for the last six months and is quickly losing value as an insider. Everyone else seems to be in agreement that Nuata is more or less done to Georgia and Upshur just canceled his announcement so he can go visit FSU again. This is all bad for Michigan. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 days 20 hours ago [Body] One of the greats and greatest of all time is two completely different statements. Brady is one of the greats but isn't the greatest of all time. Both are true statements. But of the QB's listed Brady might have had the most help of any of those guys for most of his career. Elite defenses for the first half of his career, one of the best coaches of all time, his best year included maybe the most physically gifted wr of all time, etc. [Title]

Output: One of the greats and


Input: [Date] 6 days 22 hours ago [Body] Last time I checked Brady didn't win any super bowls playing for Michigan and the Patriots don't play in Detroit. I get liking Brady but he didn't cement his legacy as a great qb while at michigan. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 days 22 hours ago [Body] Always a great way to land a recruit when it is because osu doesn't care because they think they can get better players but whatever he seems good so I'll be happy if he ends up here. Peoples-Jones is about as close to a must get as any recruit could ever be. In-state 5 star who is probably a top 10 player in the country with two parents who went to Michigan at a position of extreme need where early playing time isn't a bad sign. If he goes anywhere else it is a problem. [Title]

Output: Always a great way to land a


Input: [Date] 6 days 23 hours ago [Body] Montana was better, Marino was better, Manning was better.He may be tied for the most accomplished quarterback but he isn't the best.

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

Output: Shocking that the pre-season


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

Output: Man people are getting so


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 22 hours ago [Body] That tweet is a stupid response. No way is saying UA is a threat to Nike next year. UA barely existed when current high school seniors were born so Nike still being liked better isn't shocking. But UA's growth has been pretty big and they are just entering the shoe market now and have Steph Curry to market it. They also have Spieth signed to a 10 year contract in golf as well and a bunch of baseball players including Bryce Harper. They've done a really good job of getting in on big young stars for marketing purposes and that will pay dividends. Plus with Notre Dame, Auburn, South Carolina, Maryland, Northwestern, etc they have a pretty good toe hold in college athletics for being a still young company. [Title]

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

Output: Thats not really true for


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Body] According to US news which is whatever but an easy baseline OSU is the 18th best public school in the country and Georgia is the 20th, not a huge jump there in terms of the actual academics he will receive while there. Florida and Texas A&M are also in the top 25 of pulbic schools (which is all that really matters here, if it was strict academic rankings, Stanford, Duke, Northwestern etc would be top 10). Plentyt of schools in the sec are in the same academic grouping as big ten schools. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 40 min ago [Body] Maryland basketball has one of the largest arenas in the country, has the largest student section in the country, is in one of the best recruiting parts of the country and has a top 15 program history. Sure they aren't great at football but Maryland adds a lot of value on the basketball side. Maryland sports also won 7 big ten championships this year, the most of any school. Maryland is also located in the 4th largest metro area in the country (Baltimore/DC), is a well respected research institution, has access to the library of congress, etc. The only reason Maryland was a bad addition is if the only thing you care about is football. I just think its funny that people love the Nebraska addition when literally the only positive thing they bring is football. [Title]

Output: Maryland basketball has one


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 1 hour ago [Body] How is using sling tv an argument right now? People who argue that unbundling will cost more are projecting that the landscape will change as well. When unbundling does occur netlfix will either cost a lot more, cease to exist, or only have seasons that are old on it because stations will get more propietary and host things exclusively on their websites for their subscribers. Same thing with hulu. Sling tv exists in the current market, nothing about its pricing model is helpful for determining how much ESPN would cost in an unbundled world because ESPN doesn't need to charge sling tv customers $30 to remain viable in the current market. [Title]

Output: How is using sling tv an

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Yes it was worth it. Sports teams make a city feel nice, they aren't actually drivers of economic growth and now the city has millions of dollars to spend on other things rather than a stadium. Seattle's economy is doing just fine without the sonics, so yes not spending millions to keep them with a project with no roi was the right call. [Title]

Output: Yes it was worth it. Sports


Input: [Date] 1 day 21 hours ago [Body] To be clear, I didn't mean that Harbaugh will tell every kid he talks to that they'll play both ways, but if he maintains the practice of using skilled players in such a fashion, then you can bet that elite recruits will ask about it at the very least. Harbaugh doesn't have to promise anything but an opportunity, which I'm sure is all he ever promises. But it's nice to have that history behind him to prove he's not just selling snake oil to kids. [Title]

Output: To be clear, I didn't mean


Input: [Date] 1 day 21 hours ago [Body] Like it or not, if he is, as I stated "really productive" playing three ways there will be no stopping the early Heisman talk. Nowhere did I say he's going to win it, but the TV analysts always throw out their early hopefuls, and having UM players getting any positive talk after the past few years is a good thing. It doesn't mean he'll win it, but positive press is always good when it comes to recruiting HS kids who have big dreams. [Title]

Output: Like it or not, if he is, as


Input: [Date] 2 days 33 min ago [Body] Peppers playing offense (as well as defense and special teams of course) could be the greatest thing to happen for the immediate future of the program, for several reasons, none of which are likely lost on someone as shrewd as Jim Harbaugh. 1. Get the best athlete on the field that much more 2. Get the ball in his hands and watch him dazzle 3. If he's really productive, generate Hesiman buzz, which further gets UM on major networks and not bumped by garbage teams, more Jabrill-centric highlight shows, etc. 4. If he's not really productive, it still makes the defense have to game plan for him 5. It becomes a great recruiting pitch for high level athletes who wish to play both ways 6. Profit [Title]

Output: Sound advice, coming from one


Input: [Date] 6 days 8 hours ago [Body] It actually does work like that, quite often. And in this case, I'm pretty sure Urban is more than capable of figuring out a role for a guy who has (for several years) mostly done nothing but shred other teams once he's gotten the ball in his hands. You have seen Miller play, haven't you? The dude simply has to get touches and the yards will come. This new role won't be much of a transition from his old role as a dual threat QB. The only concern for OSU is his durability. [Title]

Output: It actually does work like

Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Body] That writer did a nice job covering the camp and has several articles posted. He said that 475 kids showed up. The term "epic" is often overused these days, but I think it applies here, and probably will continue to apply to the things Harbaugh does. [Title]

Output: That writer did a nice job

Output: There wasn't anything


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Body] The event is being held at Ravens facilities, so that's probably the main part of it. However, can you imagine the recruiting pull that 1-2 punch would have? Tip of the hat to Rivals' Brandon Brown (late of this site) for that tidbit. [Title]

Output: The event is being held at


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Worth noting is that one John Harbaugh is at the Rivals 5-star challenge and talking to potential UM signees. This can't be a bad thing. [Title]

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Lorenz saying "big" leads me to believe he's dropping a hint, as in physical stature. Isn't Ben Bredeson a fairly large dude? I'm choosing to believe it's him. [Title]

Output: double post


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Yeah I figured that's what you meant. Just being a smart-ass. On a more serious note, thanks for putting this together. I do follow recruiting, and would perhaps be a bit more worried if it wasn't (A) Harbaugh and (B) the fact that his strategy seems to be to go nationwide first and see what happens. At least it has been to this point. [Title]

Output: Yeah I figured that's what

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Me either. I was being sarcastic with my "shocked" comment in the OP. I just think it's funny how he griped about it, but then turned around and set one up just a few days later. [Title]

Output: Don't tell Alex Boone that.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Well that settles it for me. I've been on the fence about this Harbaugh guy ever since last December. What a relief! [Title]

Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Body] If you watch his highlight tape you won't see anything near Wheatley's top end speed. Dudes that big AND fast are extremely rare. Nonetheless, Davis is a powerfully built kid who excels against good competition, and Harbaugh wants him. I'm sold. [Title]

Input: [Date] 16 weeks 4 days ago [Body] There are a couple of posters on the Rivals board saying that they met Dontavious Jackson in AA, and he told them he'd committed to Michigan as well.
