Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: It seems to me that you and I


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 53 min ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: I understand these arguments,


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 hours ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: In the student section right

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. [Title]

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Input: [Date] 26 min 35 sec ago [Body] The problem here is that when ESPN leads a concussion story its automatically plastered on every level of football. I have been coaching Tykes in my area for 5 years now and the most gruesome injury I have seen was a double compound fracture in this kids arm. The problem is people are pushing their kids towards "safer" sports like hockey and soccer when in fact those sports are just as dangerous at the youth level. I read somewhere that women's soccer has the highest concussion rate per capita of all the sports. Not sure if true you can never believe anything researched by anyone since they are backed by whoever seems to pay the highest price for the research. In our league we are stressing the heads up tackling and the rugby style tackling associated with the Seattle Seahawks. All coaches have to go mandatory concussion training as well. [Title]

The fact that the 49ers had him by the contractual balls since he couldn't go anywhere without getting a ransom in return aside from going to the college game means he chose a route to not hamstring another NFL team and say a big FU to the 49ers in return. He'll have his success at UM but I think his goal is bring a winning culture and strong base for the next the coach that comes in. [Title]

Not notifying ownership (people might think why should he bother? my answer is that the Cavs were your faithful employer for 5 years and gave you everything you wanted so its the least you can do), doing the dirty on national TV in the names of Boys Club etc etc. [Title]

Output: I remember the whole Decision


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Names are hugely important. Along with some of those rules in the OP we played the 6 year old rhyming game.

Input: [Date] 9 weeks 5 days ago [Body] We tried. A lot of times. Some of your people made sure it did not happen. However, fast forward to this day and age. Playing in th ACC gets us footprints all over the southeast. With USC and Stanford always on, we are on the West Coast as well. But one off games like BC @ Fenway or other venues are awesome as well. Just an FYI for some of you guys in regards to Navy. (While I'd like to see that game end blocking schemes triple option yadda yadda) That game will be played to infinity and beyond as a thank you to the Navy for keeping ND afloat during war time. Throw in some Texas flavour and thats a pretty good go around the country. Because its all about that 'Crootin. I have no doubt that sometime in the future that we'll cross paths again. However I do have to say playing you guys in a bowl situation makes me salivate. (Detroit, Pinstripe & Orange Bowl) [Title]

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Body] So a couple of points I keep seeing popping up in replies. You'd rather a home and home. Frankly I think we all know that it isn't going to happen, atleast with top tier teams. Florida and Alabama are not coming north because they know Winter is Coming. Its a cash grab. Sure it is. Guess what? So is ALL of college football You guys generally have 7 home games a year. Why not take one and break out of your regional mindset? Bring your product elsewhere. Usually those games are primetime, usually get good attendance. Plus you are also using the brand to recruit outside of your natural foot print. Comparing rosters and where kids originate between ND and MI, I see a lot more of MI, OH, PA on your roster than I do on NDs. A little more exposure never hurt anyone. [Title]

Thats besides the point that he was already stuffed a yard and a half back. I also am not sure how you couldn't call them a top 10 team? Alabama was a buzz saw that year.

Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Body] UM dominated a lot of teams from 1890 through the 40s. Anytime they were challenged those teams were knocked off the schedule. This ain't your grand pappies college football. Harbaugh will be successful at Michigan because if he isn't there are bigger problems for you to figure out. Harbaugh will get all the 4 and 5* guys he wants. And MSU will continue to coach up the 2 and 3* guys you didn't. One year of Harbaugh is not going to completely change this team around while sparty is in reload mode. Rose Bowl in hand and a huge come back win over Baylor has filled up spartys cache pretty good for now. [Title]

I believe you can have fun at all levels of sport, but not at the expense of others. Save it for Madden or NCAA when you and your buddy are talking shit to each other.

Input: [Date] 24 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Oh no I get it, don't get me wrong. But that coach could very well be gone the day after NSD. Your commit should be to a school in which you believe will make you fundamentally sound in the part of a human being. The difference between UM and ND, as you you used as an example, is the little things. [Title]

Output: Oh no I get it, don't get me


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 2 days ago [Body] The answer is to commit to the school and not the coaches knowing full well the dynamic nature of football coaches. It is very typical that a school you commit to today will not have the same position coaches by the time you are a senior. At the same time I don't fault the coaches for looking at better opportunities. They have families to support as well. As much as I hate Alford going to OSU he knew his opportunities were limited at ND. In the end I hope more kids start to realize that the school matters more than the coach since the majority of them will not be playing football on Sundays. I am sure a degree from Alabama is just fine. Not as fine as Michigan or ND however. Signing on to Alabama means you are now open to all the crap that goes with it. Oversigning, mysterious cuts due to mysterious injuries, grey shirting and it goes on. Signing on to Michigan or ND means that you might not win a NC but you will compete at the highest level and in 4 years (or less) come out with an exceptional degree. And believe it or not, Michigan and ND pump out some pretty decent NFL talent. [Title]

Output: The answer is to commit to

Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] It's not the fact that they play the 2-3 zone that makes them tricky, it's the length of the players in the 2-3 zone. You can simulate that zone all you want in practice, but what makes them so tough is their length affecting passing lanes and causing deflections. Brandon Triche will be the shortest guy on the court for them at 6'4 and their PG stands at 6'6 in Michael Carter Williams. If I could pick one person in the country playing the college game to give Stauskas a run at a 3 point contest it would be James Southerland. If he is on, look out. C.J. Fair is a crafty player who can find a number of ways to score the ball. Keita (6'10) and Christmas (6'9) are their big guys who, once again, affect shots with their length, but both are very raw with their offensive games. It's just gonna come down to what everyone has said as soon as it was known we were advancing to face Syracuse yesterday, we have to make shots and also keep them off the offensive boards so they can't get second chance opportunites. I live on the East Coast, so I have had many opportunites to watch Syracuse play throughout the season, so this is just my non-expert opinion. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 38 weeks ago [Body] You keep on bringing up Minnesota's 11th ranked pass D in the country. This is who they played: @UNLV, New Hampshire, Western Michigan, Syracuse, @ Iowa, Northwestern, @ Wisconsin, Purdue, and then us. The best passing offense out of all those is Syracuse. Only two teams out of nine on their schedule so far are in the top 68 in pass offense. Do you wanna know where Minnesota ranks nationally in rush defense? 81st. There's a reason why teams aren't passing on them, and that's because teams are running it on them. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Title] point still stands [Body]

Output: OK, my count was off. I will admit I didn't know what to do with the 3 ties no loss season. But Michigan stil has half as many 2 or fewer loss seasons than Ohio State. In fact, OSU has 8 one or fewer loss seasons (or 7 if you take out Tressle's vacated season) while Michigan has 2. My point was simply that OSU found a way to win a couple of more games pretty consistently over this period. Is it some definitive statistic? No. But significantly more 1 or no loss seasons means more great seasons and it feels like Michigan just hasn't been able to consistently accomplish that.


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Title] I wonder when the leap occurs [Body]

Output: (if it ever does- yes, that is depressing). Mchigan has a history at this point of losing three games or more. Since 1990 Michigan has had seasons with two or fewer loses four times. Ohio State has done it 13 times! With three or four undefeated regular seasons and a national title game. Michigan has one undefeated season and a shared title. Michigan State has won 11 games three out of four years. This is what worries me about Michigan football. We need to get out of that rut (3-5 losses) before worrying about being a national contender. But as Brian notes above, competing for Big Ten titles more than likely means a national contender in the East.

Output: Ever thought about breaking this up into segments and posting one a day? Easier to listen to and more pageviews for the advertisers ...


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Title] The past has a huge impact on my reaction [Body]

Output: I am totally with Brian on the emotions of this game. If we beat Penn State, Iowa and maybe Nebraska this game feels different. A great game after that season is both inexplicable and maddening. Winning was the only way that game felt good, IMO. But the even bigger picture is what really makes me depressed and even angry. Michigan has not won a truly big game or pulled the massive upset outside of Notre Dame in a decade or more. How many close games has Ohio State won? How many times have they upset us or pulled the big road win? The 11w writer was right about this game: stealing wins on the road is huge and we just don't manage to pull it off while OSU has. Living in Columbus makes this a nightmare for me as I have to have it thrown in my face practically every single day. But the record speaks for itself. In that context this was an opportunity of a lifetime and we blew it. Was it exciting and incredible while it lasted? Yes, but at the end of the day it is just another loss in a long series of losses. Two wins in thirteen tries! On top of that, since 1990 Michigan has had seasons with two or fewer loses four times. Ohio State has done it 13 times! With three or four undefeated regular seasons and a national title game. Michigan has one undefeated season and a shared title. John Cooper couldn't beat Michigan but he beat everyone else with some regularity. Tressel and Meyer had added beating Michigan to that recipe. If this does not depress you I don't know what to say. Does that mean I have no hope for the future? No, I think the young talent on this team has a great deal of potential but you have to be naive to believe that Michigan is going to be an elite team without some consistent proof on the field. They have been a 3-5 loss team with the occasional two loss team thrown in since the early 90s.


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Title] Great game, still sucks [Body]

Output: I don't agree with the call to go for it. At home I say you play for OT when anything can happen instead of risking everything on one play. But I understand why Hoke did it and wished we would have pulled off the upset of the ages. To come so close and lose is a bitter pill. What is so frustrating is that it seems for the last ten years, Ohio State finds ways to win games like this and we find ways to lose. They win ugly, When was the last time Michigan actually pulled off the big upset? Feels like forever.


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] I get the anger but [Body]

Output: I get the anger I really do. It has been maddening to watch this offense implode and become a laughing stock incapable of winning a game that is practically handed to them (Iowa, Penn State) or get manhanled and not respond (MSU, Nebraska). The defense has played their hearts out even as they eventually give up the game late. But this nuke the coaches from orbit and start over mindset is more madness. Continuity in coaching and players is critical in football. An offense has to become second nature, players have to gel, repition breeds success, etc. i am not syaing Borges is the answer on offense or I would be upset if we brought in someone new but we can't clean house. Just a few plays and a few games can change a seson very easily. Especially when you are talking sophmores in college. This year we just haven't found a way to make those plays. Missed field goals against Penn State ruined a nice second half. Today a number of dropped passes killed drives and momentum (Funchess in particular). Things just are not clicking. Everybody is talking about how Michigan State is in better shape than we are but have you forgotten last year? They lost a bunch of close games. Andin 2009 they lost 7 games. They have built a tought defense and found their offense. They used to have a reputation of not being able to win close games but this year they have been solid. Yes, the offense looks lost but an inability to block, a lack of identity and critical dropped passes will do that to you. There is no silver bullet that will magically make this team a contender. It will take time and development. Firing Hoke and starting over would be a disaster. We need to make some changes but wholesale change because the season went south is not the answer.


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] "you'll all likely be angry at several points on Saturday" [Body]

Output: Um, yeah, bit of an understatement, no? Given past performance, etc. Perhaps it is ridiculous optimism but it has felt like Michigan is often just a few plays short of getting on track but just can't seem to make those plays. A dropped pass, a bad read of inaccurate pass, a missed assignment, not holding a block for half a minute longer, all these things keep the team from getting first downs or splash plays and destroys an rhythm. I wonder if the win last week and the success in OT could carry over and we could see some actually real live offense. Another ugly performance heading into The Game would be so depressing.


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] Thanks, useful [Body]

Output: I was looking for something along these lines. Less Argh, Borges an idiot and more here is something we could do that is not a huge change but would work marginally better and that could add up to an offense that moves the ball more consistently. I agree that this spread them out more as a way to back off the pressure could work. I remember when on one of the Steelers Super Bowl runs they couldn't run the ball until they had success with passing early on. Against both the Colts and Broncos they came out passing more agressively against stacked fronts and then were able to go to more ball control offense with a lead and the defense backed off. The Steelers have never had a great offensive line but try to find ways to make it work and hope the line can gel at some point. Obviously, Gardner isn't neccesarily Ben Roethlisberger but since I am a fan of both teams the similarities struck me.

Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] What can we do in the short term to win games? [Body]

Output: This is really what I would like to see from the X and O folks (not me). What tyype of plays do you think would work and how can Hoke/Borges keep making progress on the offense they want to run while still winning games. My gut sense is that Brian and Space are both right to some degree. This is an execution and preparation problem but it is also play calling stubborness that is costing Michigan games this year. The eyeball test tells you that these runs have no chance of success. They are just running into bodies behind the line. So with a o-line that can't block and has serious confidence issues, a QB that has been abused for weeks, how can we move the football. Is it West Coast style quick hitting dink and dunk with some constraint plays that offer the opportunity for chunk gains? Is it some spread elements? A hurry up pass heavy style that gets the defense off rythym? If this has been posted elsewhere I would love to see it.


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] Very useful [Body]

Output: if incredibly depressing post. It is hard to acknowledge that we are still digging out of a hole. Would love to see an x and O breakdown of the kind of offense we should be running give our current players.


Input: [Date] 1 year 37 weeks ago [Title] losing confidence [Body]

Output: I am not sure how you can have confidence in anyone at this point. It is one thing to get beat it is another to look absolutely clueless and lost at home for a critical conference game. I have not been on the fire Borges train but that game was attrocious. Key turnover and two runs for lost yards? That is just like giving up. And they just kept doing it over and over. Madness. Yes, the oline is a dumpster fire but a creative coach has to find a way to use the talent he has effectively. It is not like Nebraska is Alabama. As Ace notes, one drive of creativity and then hang on and hope not to lose? How can you possibly pick this team to win any of the game left? And then what? I am wondering just where the bottoum is at this point.


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Surprisingly less angry about this game [Body]

Output: I am not a big basketball fan. I grew up watch Michigan football and that is the strongest conenctionf for me. I didn't live in AA nor did any of my family go to UM. It was just a cultural aspect I picked up before I even realized it. I watch Michigan football and hated Ohio State. By a weird twist of fate I ended up living and working in Columbus, Ohio. I have now stocked and nursed my hatred of OSU into a fine sharp point. And with all of the ups and downs of football have developed a somewhat tragic sense of life when it comes to sports. And so I was afraid to start carrying about Mcihigan basketball again (I got caught up in the Fab Five frensy while in college and paid the psychic cost when that all unraveled). I followed the teams (mostly through this blog) and the last couple of years slowly began to increase my interest. Last year, I started to actually watch the games. This year I got sucked in. I started watching the games from the start and found myselfing reallying caring about the team again. As I watched heartbreaking losses to Ohio State, Indiana, Wisconsin, etc. I thought "what have I gotten myself into?" It isn't like I need more sports heartbreak, right? But I wasn't going to be one of those fans who abandones the team once they struggle and so I kept watching. And man did the tournament pay off that committment. It felt so good to see everything come together and see the players not only make big plays but seem to really have fun and play as a team. It felt like they were able to shake off the demons and bad bounces of earlier in the year and just play at a higher level. The first half last night felt like that trajectory would continue. But then Hancock began to rain down threes and my gut began to clench and suddenly it was more like a heavyweight fight - less joy, more determination. And in the end Michigan just didn't quite have enough to get past an incredibly determined and focused Louisville team. In the end I felt not anger but frustration a sense that those players were so close to an incredible opportunity only to fall just short. I wished all that joy could have continued in one last improbable victory. As Brian notes, I wished somehow I could reduce the misery they felt. And of course, lving in Columbus I had to deal with the jerks on FB and Twitter and everywhere else savoring the loss and the misery. But as my duaghter (age 8) said to me this morning as we were discussing it in the car, Michigan is clearly a program to be reckoned with again. And I think that takes a little of the sting of the loss away somehow. Michigan feels back somehow. Maybe I am a bandwagon fan compared to all of you longtime fans but it feels good to committ to a team and feel good about where they are and where they are headed.

Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Two plays inflated offense in first half [Body]

Output: Take away the big Roundtree and Robinson plays and Michigan has like 137 yards in first half. I think it is a little over-the-top to just blame Borges for loss because of poor play calling in the second half. Yes, I think running up the middle was foolish and I wish there was more creative use of Denard and Devin. But the difference to me was turnovers and Carlos Hyde. Hyde allowed Ohio State to grind out yards. Michigan had no answer. Michigan had the opportunity to win and didn't make the plays when they needed to. The only difference between this game and Northwestern is a miracle throw.

Be interesting to see what the typical range for the team has been the last ten years. Easy to request others do more work ...


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Behind Enemy Lines in Columbus [Body]

Output: I live in Columbus and it gets old after a while. Most people are not real jerks about it but the overall assumption is that everyone is a Buckeye fan; plus you get lots of dirty looks when Michigan is doing well and lots of jokes when they are down (I have lived here during both Cooper and Sweater Vest). You really can't get away from it as it is on TV, radio, stores, work, even at church the pastor will mention the game (Chris Spielman and John Copper both attend my church). I will forget I have on my UM hat and when the guy at the drive-thru says he won't serve me with that hat on and starts laughing it often takes me a moment to figure it out. My mom came to visit close to The Game one year, however, and people were giving her crap all over town so she changed. I told her you can't let them win but she didn't think it was worth the hassle. Of course, my wife's family all went to Michigan State so I have to take crap from them now too ...

Output: Having Michigan fans write and debate what happened and what they think it means is too much? If this is to be a true community where fans interact - in addition to reading Brian's unique perspective - then people will have to deal with comments, diaries, and board posts. I don't think it has descended into site destroying chaos and anger today.

Output: that Ohio State was trying not lose from the start (once we gave them a TD and missed a FG). I am not saying the D didn't play better because they did. But if OSU has to win that game - rather than watching us lose it - I think things would have been different. Maybe we win, maybe we don't, but it wouldn't have been the same game.

A win tomorrow would make my year (yes, it has been one of those years for me). Winning and losing can be a close thing. If everything comes together Saturday who knows what can happen.


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Tragic indeed [Body]

Output: I bear the burden of being a Michigan fan in Columbus. The Spielmans go to my church and I listen to him on the radio frequently so it feels like a death in the family somehow. Chris is a class guy and Stephanie always brightened whatever room she entered. Definitely praying for the family during what must be a very difficult time.


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Title] I am actually rather calm for once [Body]

Output: Weird how expectations play out. Despite the desperate need to win one more game, I just felt like Wisconsin was the better team today. For, I guess, obvious reasons Illinois and Purdue felt very different.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] A little late [Body]

Output: I think a whole lot of people already panicked. Luckily by the time I signed in things began to return to normal.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] Grew up with Marvel in the 70's and 80's and love those books, but I also really like the old pre-Marvel Atlas horror books from Kirby and others....Tales of Suspense, Strange Tales, old Journey Into Mystery.....I also really like the old EC comics, [Title]

Output: Atlas Horror Comics


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Under Hoke? As the head coach, what aspect of the Michigan football team has gotten better? I can't think of one area of improvement..... [Title]

Output: What has improved


Input: [Date] 1 year 48 weeks ago [Body] Mistakes will happen, but it's hard to envision anything but an improvement over last year........ I think if we see some stability and improvement on the OL vs last year (guards/center), things will work out alright.......the WR's and TE's will produce, DG should have better mechanics and we might actually have a running game this year with actual RB's producing. Given DG's ability to see the open lane and take it and seeing the clip above where he draws the defenders in and throws the little dump pass........that stuff is lethal. This weekend can't get here soon enough! [Title]

Output: Expected Improvement


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Body] Used LogMeIn for awhile, then ran into some issues......I use TeamViewer on a regular basis and it works great. [Title]

Output: TeamView


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] can put together an interview with a coach at a big-time school, have a meaningful discussion on how they think and game plan while the big sports news outlets like ESPN continue to spew bland garbage headlines with no real substance to their articles......... Great job, fantastic interview! [Title]

Output: I love the fact that MGoBlog


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] There is always so much speculation on the team prepares from week to week from the fans perspective......this is definitely one of the better posts I've seen on MGoBlog....thanks! [Title]

Output: Fantastic Post


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Body] Series 7 is not too difficult.......you might want to look into the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst)......a series of 3 tests and is more difficult, but could open up some additional job opportunities down the road if Finance is what you're interested in. [Title]

Output: Series 7


Input: [Date] 2 years 38 weeks ago [Body] that we didn't see Bellomy and Gardner in the backfield at the same time.....we did it with Denard and Gardner last year several times......it would have given the defense something to think about and maybe buy Bellomy a little extra time to make a play. [Title]

Output: I was suprised


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Body] regarding UMass tickets..... [Title]

Output: Just sent you an email


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Body] Face value.........good seats on the 40 yard line........can't make it back for the game that week.......are you a Michigan fan or are you coming from out East? Post a reply if you're interested..... [Title]

Output: I've got 4 to sell


Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Body] and trojan/malware issues in the past year, the standard programs were no good......malwarebytes and others did nothing. I did some digging around online at the time and came across a program called "ComboFix.exe"...........I've used it twice now and have found it to be my last defense against these types of problems........it's looks ghetto and runs out of the DOS window........it runs an initial scan, will detect the problems and then ask to reboot.........once it reboots, it goes through a number of steps and ultimately got rid of the issues I had..........I was skeptical at first, but it works great. You can download it from the cnet.com website.......and it's free. http://download.cnet.com/Combofix/3000-8022_4-75221073.html [Title]

Output: I've had similar rootkit


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Body] He may be a decent QB, but I find it hard to believe that MSU has had a complete QB STUD just sitting on the bench for the last 2 years..........he's going to have to come in and produce from the very first snap......you have to expect that he'll struggle some in his first year as a starter.........I think MSU is getting too much credit.....7 wins max. [Title]

Output: Maxwell


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Specifically looking at AA and the surrounding area.....thanks. [Title]

Output: Not at the moment


Input: [Date] 3 years 27 weeks ago [Body] That's exactly what I was saying...GO BLUE! [Title]

Output: LOL


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Body] He played well for his 1st year, don't screw it up by moving him around to another position.......we already saw some of that with Craig Roe last year. [Title]

Output: I agree


Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Body] that picked during the game last night from the midwest or west coast? All of the kids I saw were either from the south or east coast...........and then at some point, the commentators commented on how none of the kids were picking Oregon.....show a kid from the west coast and maybe Oregon would be one of his finalists. It seemed a bit biased toward potential SEC kids (SHOCKED)..............I didn't get a chance to see the entire game, so maybe I missed a few of the school picks. I like it when a couple of the kids picked ECU and Maryland instead of the bigger SEC schools........good for them. [Title]

Output: Were any of this kids


Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Body] I don't see how MSU will be one of the better teams next year. They lose Cousins, Cunningham, Martin, Linthicum, Nichol and now Worthy is going into the draft.....there are probably a couple of other starting linemen that I'm not familiar with as well. That's a lot of quality 1st string talent that I don't see getting replaced easily. I've seen the Spartans on tv a lot this year and don't ever remember seeing even a glimpse of a backup QB, that can't be good for them next year..............they'll be middle of the pack at best. [Title]

Output: MSU


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Center for Michigan back in the early 90's.........1st round draft pick in 1993........played several years in the NFL.......he seems to be back for at least 1 game a year roaming the sidelines. [Title]

Output: Steve Everitt


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Body] anything lower than row 70 if possible..............I'm in section 22, row 43.........home side.........can't complain, I can see just about everything for those seats. The only thing with sitting on the visitors side would be that your potentially facing the sun..........given that it'll be late in the season, it obviously won't be hot out, but if it's a clear day, bring sunglasses if you're on that side. [Title]

Output: I would look for


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Body] I know it's a road game at Iowa, but Michigan is only favored by 4.5? That Iowa defense doesn't look so good (you lost to MN!), I expect DR and Co. to put 30+ this upcoming weekend bringing home the win...... [Title]

Output: Iowa Game


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] lets hope Borges busts open the playbook with something special coming from Devin Gardner.........we need to see both DR and DG on the field at the same time with some creative playcalling........how about another V Smith TD pass.........trickeration......... [Title]

Output: Everyone is so focused on Denard


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] come off the bench.......that would be exciting..."Jeff VB"......funny...... [Title]

Output: Maybe we'll get to see Antonio Bass


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] 701 [Title]

Output: 701


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] will likely be the key to the game....... [Title]

Output: Turnovers


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] and the upcoming 2012/2013 recruiting classes...........nice to see the team in a position to succeed now and over the next several years...... [Title]

Output: There are so many positives going on with this team


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] OSU has so many issues, he's not been given much to work with and is definitely not helping himself, JB is just horrible........ [Title]

Output: He's in a touch spot


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] and so has Kovacs........also getting Countess playing time and seeing him play well bodes well for our DB depth this year and next......... [Title]

Output: Gallon has been impressive


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] there will always be weak teams on the schedule..........I like the adjustments the defense is making over the course of the game.......the guys just seem to be kicking it into high gear in the 2nd half every week. [Title]

Output: Going back 10 years


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] way too many people wrote Michigan off before the beginning of the year........the defense is definitely playing better and the offense, while not perfect, continues to put up big points.........nice to get the "bowl eligibility" thing out of the way..... [Title]

Output: I agree with M-Dog


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] but given the play of the teams remaining on our schedule, Michigan could go undeated at 12-0...........I think I would be simply stunned if that becomes reality, but all of these other teams have issues of one kind or another and Michigan always seems to have big-time playmakers in Denard and Co........... [Title]

Output: 10-2 most likely


Input: [Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Body] Yeah...2-3am on the west side of AA resulted in 1 meteor....I hated my wife for finding the story on her own and myself for believing it might be fun. [Title]

Output: Yeah...2-3am on the west side


Input: [Date] 1 year 11 weeks ago [Body] I will be relocating to McLean in the next month so I will be looking for places to hang on Saturdays as well. [Title]

Output: I will be relocating to


Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Body] ...Because getting burned in the face means you need to take a shirtless selfie. [Title]

Output: ...Because getting burned in


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] Good luck getting osu fans to understand witty banter. [Title]

Output: Good luck getting osu fans to


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] Sorry, you are correct. 26 is the farthest section over and the band sits at the bottom of 27/28. My apologies. [Title]

Output: Sorry, you are correct. 26 is


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] Put up storm shutters around the heart of your fandom. This one's gonna be rough! [Title]

Output: Put up storm shutters around
