Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Tell that to Terrelle Pryor. However, I think he was a higher rated FB prospect than a BB prospect, but I believe he was at least a 4* in both. [Title]

Output: Tell that to Terrelle


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 13 hours ago [Body] Guess I don't much care because Motta can really recruit, but he is an aweful coach so even with good players they aren't too scary. [Title]

Output: Motta sucks


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Body] According to a USA Today article, Alex Boone is quoted in the HBO feature talking about how the players hated Harbaugh because he was too Gung Ho. Sounds like sour grapes from a fat ass Bucknut that can't let it go. [Title]

Output: Alex Boone is a tool


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Really don't want to rehash a topic that has been covered ad-nauseum, but no matter what anyone says on this board a medical scholarship for Hatch is still a definite option. [Title]

Output: Hatch


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Ok, I know I'll get negged to death, but why in the world does everyone keep thinking Hatch won't get a medical scholly. I know Bielien loves him, we all do. But Bielien is being paid to win and Hatch will not help the team win bball games. Giving him a medical scholarship and letting him be a student coach while getting a full ride is certainly not a mean thing to do. [Title]

Output: Ok, I know I'll get negged to


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Named my Chihuaha puppy Brady in 2011 when we got him. Obviously, not the best choice. Most of the family now call him F.P. (fu*ky puppy). I just tell people we named him after Tom, not Hoke. My older dog is named Bo. [Title]

Output: Brady

He typically got more done with less than almost any coach in America. Except for his temper, he is one of the best coaches ever. I would highly doubt that he knowingly allowed any recruiting shenanigans. [Title]

Input: [Date] 24 weeks 5 days ago [Body] A lot of schools have screens that are larger than Michigan Stadium, but to my knowledge no one has TWO screens larger than Michigan Stadium. Which is a big deal if you are directly under a screeen or at the far end. Another benefit at Michigan Stadium is that we show no advertising on our video screens. Ohio has decent size screen, but 1/3 of the screen (as well as vast areas of the stadium) are covered in advertising. What benefit for the fans is having a huge screen covered in car dealership adds. [Title]

Output: A lot of schools have screens


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] I guess I wouldn't be upset if Babcock left the Wings for Michigan, but at the same time I wouldn't really like it. I love it when Michigan hockey does well, but I'd be lying if I said I care about them even a fraction of the amount I care about the Wings. [Title]

Output: I guess I wouldn't be upset


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Body] Same for me with the Lions. Nice to see guys like Tom Brady do well, but I get so bummed out about teams I like losing that I can't really bring myself to care about players on teams I don't root for just because they went to michigan. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Body] There's a big difference between that resume and a guy who has went to three Stanley Cup Finals, won one and come within a game of winning the other two. Now does this mean that Babcock definitely won't go to Michigan? No. But Red was not close to the caliber of NHL coach that Babcock is. [Title]

Input: [Date] 22 weeks 1 day ago [Title] It wasn't really an attempt [Body]

Output: It was more of a survey. The idea was pitched to the group by the Maize Rage and The Zone, if I remember correctly. The results ended up being 2-1 or 3-1 in favor of not going official (which is exactly how it should be). Even if they inexplicably had been in favor I doubt it would have happened.

Output: The Pointes also banned Poles during that time as well. I'm well over half Polish and never had a problem while growing up. People know the history, and the vast majority put it behind them because it just doesn't matter as much anymore. It is nowhere near as prevalent as it used to be. Those days are dead. Is there still a sense of entitlement? Absolutely. Are you going to be run out of town for being Jewish/Black/etc.? No.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Grosse Pointe South is fine. [Body]

Output: Grosse Pointe South is fine. North has had its issues over the past few years and was never as good as South (note: I went to South so bias does play a bit of a role). It's slid backwards a bit since I left (late 2000s) but it's still a good district.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Uniquenames are hit and miss [Body]

Output: People who have worked at Michigan in the past (like Tolbert) but are no longer around still have uniquenames. For example, Hunter Lochmann still has a uniquename even though he is no longer working at Michigan. Ty Wheatley Sr. also has a uniquename, but he's listed as an alum. The interesting one is Fred Jackson, who, if this is accurate, is listed as a retiree. https://mcommunity.umich.edu/#profile:fredjack

Input: [Date] 40 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It shouldn't matter, but it does [Body]

Output: I fully agree that, in the end, his intention shouldn't matter. Unfortuantely, he's driven a wedge so deep in between himself and students/alumni/fans that decisions like this are questioned almost instantly, even though they should be looked upon in a positive light. It's hard for people to overlook being misled/blown off at almost every turn and not question something like this, especially given the timing. Is it right? Not necessarily. Is it understandable? Absolutely.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I won't shit on him for lowering prices [Body]

Output: Good for him. It's about time. And credit to him for finally getting that part right, even if I don't entirely believe that he did this on his own. I will, however, shit on him for not pursuing this relationship with students in the first place. He never should have waited four years to do stuff like this. He never should have blown them off in the first place. It's too late to call this relationship "important" and not be laughed at. If it were actually important, he shouldn't have destroyed it in the first place.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] 3:00 PM [Body]

Output: It's in Flint. Link.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'd add one other thing [Body]

Output: See if they'd be willing to scrap the validation fee required for the student section. That should eliminate a few (or a lot) of the no shows since students can sell their tickets, and those who buy won't have to worry about paying an extra $40 or $50 in addition to the ticket.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Title] You want an actual rebuttal? [Body]

Output: Fine. Here. The Free Press report was full of holes, misconstrued quotes, and other irregularities (to put it nicely). The entire student body knew it and therefore didn't take it seriously. Perhaps you forgot that the old BOX house put up a sign that said "Rosenberg punches dolphins" in response to the story. Athletics never gave anyone a real reason to protest those games because everyone involved knew the article was crap. Contrast that with the attitude of the athletic department since Brandon has taken over. The students have been treated like crap. Donors feel alienated. The only ones who seem to be happy are the athletes themselves (I don't blame them for that) and those who have an obscene amount of money to donate.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 24 min ago [Title] Except it's not [Body]

Output: I've wanted Brandon gone since 2012. And I know I'm not the only one.

Output: Yes, because Michigan really needs someone from the Weather Channel to create a wow experience at halftime. That's definitely going to create a good memory for everyone and make them want to come back.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Possibly quite long? [Body]

Output: A large portion of the student body would line up for that, as would most recent alumni. Then add everyone else...

Output: No luck yet. But then again I only get mail like once/twice a week, always in big bunches (all bent to shit) after days of nothing. I figure my mailman is a drunk. Oh well, something to get excited for every day til it gets here.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] There it is [Body]

Output: 100% second this recommendation. Was surprised it hadn't come up yet. If you're interested in leadership, the Civil War, or just a magnificent American story, this should be atop your list. Just a brilliant work. My #1 non-fiction of the past few years, or maybe ever.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It's not bad/Chromecast [Body]

Output: I went sans cable almost two years ago. First year my roomate had Roku, which was decent. Last fall i moved to a place by myself and went with chromecast. Chromecast is great for all ESPN channels, HBO go and netflix (and probably hulu plus which i dont have). You're supposed to be able to stream a google chrome tab from your laptop to the tv wirelessly, but it is choppy and doesnt work great, yet. Consequently, i have to watch stuff like BTN and AMC on my laptop, which is fine for me but only by myself. You could also hook the computer to the TV and watch that stuff on the tube but that's a pain. If you plan to be watching anything besides ESPN/HBO/Netflix w/ more than one it would get annoying i think. Personally i dont watch much TV besides sports and the occassional TV show via netflis, so it's not a big problem. Oh and i live in a city so i get all the networks (CBS/FOX/ABC/NBC) plus PBS and other random stuff via antenna, which is clear as day (and free!). All told, to me it is worth saving the money for the occassional hassle but perhaps not for your situation. Good luck!


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] On those you left out [Body]

Output: I think it would make sense to include those who recieved medical redshirts after their freshman year in this analysis. The fact that they later got the redshirt b/c of injury means playing as a true frosh doesn't matter now, but it is still useful data for the study here. For example, the fact that Desmond Morgan got hurt in 2014 does not have any relevance on our analysis of whether him playing in 2011 was a good idea, right? Since no one expected the medical redshirt, the decision can still be judged on value of playing in 2011 vs. value of possibly having him in 2015. And now that I mention it, how much should the possiblity of a medical redshirt down the road impact the redshirt-or-don't decision? For example, the decision not to redshirt Desmond Morgan worked out great b/c you got value in 2011 AND 2015, whereas if you had redshirted him you would get none in 2011, and still lose 2014. That question brings up the medical hardship question - if Morgan had redshirted in 2011, then missed 2014 for injury, would he get a 6th year? I dont quite know how that works. As for the likelihood of a player missing a year due to injury...from our very small sample size above, you broke down 23 players, and left out 4 who got hurt, so on this team the odds of not initially redshirting then taking it down the line for medical reasons was ~15%. Anyways, from a game theory perspective, the non-zero chance that a player may be forced to miss a season later in his career due to injury, and the realization that if that is going to happen you may as well not have redshirted him to begin with, should be a variable, however small, in the formula, don't you think?


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] Yup [Body]

Output: You certainly couldn't blame the guy if he wanted to leave. Like you said, he helped get them into the big money Pac 12; strange they don't seem willing to invest in continuing their climb up the CFB ladder.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] According to this article [Body]

Output: http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/mormon-population-60-percent-utah-4-5-percent-nevada Utah has the highest proportion of Mormons, at 60% of the state. Next is Idaho (24%), Wyoming (9%) and Nevada (4-5%). No one is saying a Mormon coach wouldn't leave Utah or that region, but you could imagine being in a state where 60% of people belong to you religion, as opposed to <1% in Iowa, could be a reason to stay in Utah. Also, i'm willing to bet his religion may be part of the reason he is coaching in Utah now - his entire career he has coached in the state with the exception of 6 years in Idaho.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] If Iowa fired Ferentz [Body]

Output: but still owe him 75% through 2019, then they fire the new guy after three bad years (end of 2017), they should be allowed to obligate Ferentz to return to the HC gig for 2018-19 or forfeit his buyout...would never happen, and would probably be a complete disaster, but it would be just.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] Whittingham [Body]

Output: is a Mormom, fwiw. Not sure if that would preclude him from leaving Utah. Solid post though, I had been under the impression Ferentz was untouchable but you changed my mind.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 5 days ago [Title] i guess we [Body]

Output: just flat out disagree here. I think you're underrating the value of a worthwhile backup, even if he is never used. I mean, in retrospect if in 2011 the Pats knew Brady would be healthy for every game for 3 years and they would never need a decent backup, they wouldn't have taken Mallett but of course that isn't possible. So yes, if you judge the 2011 pick based on the fact that Brady never got hurt it was a bad pick. But that's unfair since there was no way of knowing Brady wouldn't miss a game for 3 years. As for the out-of-work QBs, a young guy with a cannon and potential is worth more than, like, Shaun Hill because there's at least a chance he can develop into a quality starter if Brady had a major injury. Again, just b/c you never cash in the insurance policy doesn't mean you shouldn't have gotten insurance in the first place.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 6 days ago [Title] true, but... [Body]

Output: you have to have a backup QB, and you'd rather have a decent one. It's like having a home insurance policy you never use - doesn't mean it wasn't worth having insurance just b/c your house never burned down. I'm sure the Pats think of it as spending a third round pick and cashing it in for 3 years of having a decent backup quarterback (that you thankfully never had to use) PLUS a 6th round pick - better value than plenty of 3rd round picks


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 19 hours ago [Title] Tanner McEvoy [Body]

Output: First off, great stuff, thanks for all the hard work. Also, McEvoy is supposedly going to start over Stave for Wisconsin vs. LSU. I know at the top you said if a projected starting QB gets beat out, the assessment transfers to the winner of the starting job; would you change anything in this case given that McEvoy is a different type of player? McEvoy is a converted safety and supposedly a good runner with poor throwing mechanics - my guess is this means very little unnecessary passing with that great OL/RB combo, new WRs and a QB who runs better than he throws...not sure how that would impact your 4 factors, however.


Input: [Date] 1 year 4 weeks ago [Title] you right [Body]

Output: misread the 24/7 site. my bad


Input: [Date] 1 year 4 weeks ago [Title] nah man [Body]

Output: please re-read what was written above. ThadMatta said we would have another *highly-touted* qb lined up to play when Morris would be a 5th year Sr. I said we won't, since Speight wasn't highly-touted, Malzone probably won't be, and deWeaver isn't considered a blue chipper now, though it is still quite early for him. Neither Thad Matta nor I ever offered an opinion on how good Morris, Speight, Malzone or deWeaver will be (I certainly dont have a clue); no one is saying the star rankings are right or wrong; the debate is about if there will be another highly-touted guy there to play when Morris would have been a 5th year, and I argue there won't, which is not to say we're gonna be terrible b/c there's not 5-star. Good rant about recruiting rankings though, i guess.


Input: [Date] 1 year 4 weeks ago [Title] sure [Body]

Output: its possible one or both moves up; but my point is the poster acts as if not having Morris in 2017 won't be a big deal b/c we'll have similarly-touted guys behind him. I disagree: Speight isn't, Malzone isnt with 6 months to go, and deWeaver (who would be in only his 2nd season) isn't highly ranked initially (but he's got 18 months, and 2 HS season, to go up....or down). Regardless, the present evidence implies we will not have some blue-chip waiting in the wings.


Input: [Date] 1 year 4 weeks ago [Title] Chances are [Body]

Output: we will not have some other highly touted QB lined up when Morris would be a 5th year - Speight was a 3-star on the 24/7 Composite rankings, Malzone is a 3-star in those same rankings, and deWeaver wasn't in the initial Scout 300. Maybe one of them will be good but none are highly-touted, especially in comparison to borderline 5-star Morris.


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Title] B1G Overview [Body]

Output: I was going to suggest the B1G recruiting recap idea before i saw you're already on top of it. It's easy enough to look at the numbers from 24/7 Composite, but a little more analysis would be much appreciated! Perhaps even a little blurb on the class from the mgoblog-counterpart website contributors for each respective team if they are willing, sort of like VEQ...

Output: Agree with your second paragraph - Hoke is not the reason for all of the bad things about the department, he does things the right way, and he would be here with or without the money. However, isn't it easy to understand why people who shell out those hundreds, even thousands, of dollars, as well as immeasurable emotion, to support the program are upset that the product is inexplicably regressing, and worse, the man in charge of that product is then insulting the loyalty of said customers?


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] Fickle [Body]

Output: "Fickle" is defined by Webster as "marked by lack of steadfastness, constancy, or stability : given to erratic changeableness." That is the wrong word, as the Michigan faithful have been steadfast for decade upon decade. Hoke is likely simply upset that his seniors will play The Game in a scarlet Michigan Stadium, and I bet that's the mindset through which he is viewing the situation. Thousands of his team's fans would rather save $50 or so to not sit in the cold and, presumably, watch his team get demolished. If you presented it to him in that way, if you asked him if he thinks a "true fan" would pay the $50 to watch this game, I bet he would answer it differently. I think it is a matter of perspective and frustration, not a case of him actually disliking a "fickle" fanbase. Naturally, i can't back this up with anything but speculation, and I understand why the anger is boiling over from the fanbase, but I think it was simply a poorly-chosen word.


Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Title] Doubt it [Body]

Output: I see your point, but i really don't think you will see Morgan and Horford on the floor together on a consistent basis. They will likely platoon at the 5, with Robinson playing most of his minutes at the 4. If you're ever going to see 2 bigs out there, it might be Donnal at the 4 with Morgan/Horford if Donnal can play his way into substantial PT. The only way they will run any Morgon/Horford at 4/5 is if they want to practice the 2-big look in anticipation of McGary's return, but that will likely only happen in garbage minutes, not when the game is on the line. Simply put, playing Horford/Morgan at the 4 directly takes minutes away from Stauskus or Irvin, or Levert, which significantly diminishes the offense's shooting threat and ability to spread the floor. I do not think JB would want to do that in order to "muscle teams around a little."


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] Kerridge [Body]

Output: Unmentoined in the discussion but I'm sure he'll get a +1 at least - in both Power Picture Pages, Kerridge throws a helluva block. He meets the LB in the hole and just owns him.

Input: [Date] 1 year 49 weeks ago [Title] Color [Body]

Output: First off, great stuff. Abosultely love your work. I had a thought about using color differently. Jeff M has a couple interesting ideas above, but my initial reaction was it would be nice to visualize just how much the factors displayed in the chart (adj 3rd down conversion, early conversion %, and avg third down distance) impact the overall quality of an offense. Perhaps using your preferred method of rating an entire offense. (F +/-, your own metrics, whatever) to differentiate from best all the way to worst in a sliding scale ('Scarlet = Bad' through purple all the way up to 'Blue = Good'?). Naturally, you would expect more blue in the top right, and scarlet in the bottom left, but it still might be interesting to see.


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Borges' style [Body]

Output: What you're saying makes sense, but I think it's important to remember that Borges has repeatedly stressed that he wants a workhorse back. One guy getting 25 carries every Saturday. So I think this battle will be more of a winner-takes-all competition. For my money, I'd say Green is most likely to win it, but Fitz and Smith also in the running (get it?). I don't expect to ever see Rawls in a crucial spot again, to be honest, and i doubt Drake Johnson will really be in the conversation either. Not saying it's a sure thing, but when you consider his lack of recruiting hype and lack of insider practice hype, i just think it's unlikely. Furthermore, i'd expect to see Shallman end up in a fullback/H-back type role and Hayes as slot reciever. Norfleet? Well, i like the kid's burst but i'm just not sure where he fits in for Borges' system. You'd hope a coach would find ways to get his most explosive guys the ball, but to be honest we've already seen that Borges isn't the most creative guy in that regard (see: Denard in the Ohio game). As i write this, though, I'm thinking we aren't giving Fitz enough credit. He was a darn good runner in 2011 and i think 2013's O-Line will be more like 2011's than 2012's. And while that knee injury was brutal, it's become almost fightening how quickly and effectively top athletes can recover from knee injuries these days. All told, i think Green, Smith or Fitz will win the battle outright by B1G play, Hayes and/or Norfleet will get some 3rd and long PT, and everyone else will be relegated to minor support roles.


Input: [Date] 2 years 38 weeks ago [Title] gotta hope [Body]

Output: to see Kalis in there at a guard spot...so if Lewan's back and Miller adds enough weight to start at C, i think it might be a battle between JoeyB and Magnusson (and Bryant? seems doubtful) for the last spot, with Schofield starting at either G or T, depeneding on if they like JoeyB or Magnusson more.


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Both, I think [Body]

Output: I'm pretty sure M's poor reb% has a lot to do with beilein's style. reb% is tired directly to style of play, specifically with regards to the fast break. If you crash the offensive glass, you're more susceptible to giving up fb points. And if you crash the boards on d, it's tougher to get points in transition. So I think beilein see's that, with our small lineups, we're not going to be great on the glass anyways, so we might as well surrender some rebounding chances in exchange for winning the transition game

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

Output: Reminds me of penn st last year. It seems like they had about a half dozen commits until very late in the process. They ended up only signing 16 total and finished 35th nationally according to rivals. That put them 6th in the B1G, 7th including ND. I'm guessing the low number was due to just not having many scholarships to give, and it's possible nebraska is in the same boat this year.


Input: [Date] 4 years 8 weeks ago [Title] looks like [Body]

Output: even without the things you mentioned above, BH and co. have done a pretty good job of recruiting. i don' t think a maize jersey with stripes on the shoulders and a beaver on the front is going to make many HS kids change their minds. and who knows, maybe if we don't conform to the newly-popular night games/cool jerzeyz/rawk music, we can draw some recruits by pointing out how old school we are. i don't think the traditions at michigan are a huge hinderance on our recruiting potential.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Body] I seriously don't get the hate. Cmon guys. It's a black jersey with red numbers. It's not like the zubaz nonsense from the NCAA tourney a couple years back. Also to those freaking out about the "fishnet" pattern, i've seen these and the UM version in person, and you literally cannot tell if you're more than 5 feet away from it. It's a functional fabric weave designed to NOT tear and stretch like the stuff adidas used to have. Seriously, its way better. And unless you're lining up across from them on the field, you won't be able to tell it's there. [Title]

Output: I seriously don't get the


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Body] But that's apples and oranges though, since the Foamposites and Retro J's are exclusive, that's what makes them cool and desirable. A better comparison would be a Lebron or KD vs. a Hyperdunk, I'm pretty sure I know what they'd rather have. That being said, the exclusivity of the Jordan brand is gonna be pretty cool and give us some good exposure. And I'll also say Nike is a heck of a lot better at marketing their athletes/universities, hence why they sell a lot more. We'll see when the crop of young guys come up though, I think UA and adidas have both done a good job signing young up and coming talent. [Title]

Output: But that's apples and oranges


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Body] This is the case and how these contracts work. Again, it will be easier to analyze this once the details come out. Nike does sell better here in the US, that's a given. But to your point of the kids wanting KD's and Kobe's and such, that's becuase of the name attached to it. Kids want the Lebron's because they're Lebron's, not Nike's. This is part of the reason why adidas chose to let go of the NBA contract. People don't buy Kevin Durant jerseys because they love adidas, they do it because they love Kevin Durant. Similarly, (outside of the <.05% of the fan base that posts on here) people don't buy Michigan apparel because they love Nike or adidas, they do it because they love Michigan. These deals are far more valuable to the apparel companies than the schools, you'd be naiive to think otherwise. Now I'm not saying I don't expect to see a spike in apparel sales, I totally do and I think the fanbase as a whole is ready to move on from the DB/RR/Hoke era, and the Nike contract ushers in a fresh start. Will it make up for the money we left on the table with adidas? I HIGHLY doubt that, but it remains to be seen. The thing that scares me is that it's a 12 year deal. That's a long time. A lot can change in 12 years. 12 years ago Under Armour was just gaining momentum, and still was only making baselayer/compression gear. Look where they are now. Just something to think about. [Title]

Output: This is the case and how


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Are you really trying to say that fans will go to more games when the team is in a bad stretch just because there's a swoosh on the uniforms? Like I get some of the arguments on here but come on now,that's a massive stretch. [Title]

Output: Agreed, I'm going with blue.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Body] This has nothing to do with adidas. They will still be the supplier for the upcoming season. It likely has more to do with the "generic" numbers they had last year not being worn by prominent players this year for football, like 98 for example. And I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a new basketball template this season. [Title]

Output: This has nothing to do with


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I keep hearing this argument, but is there any actual proof of it happening before? Genuinely curious. It doesn't make sense to me that a brand like Nike or adidas would pull funding for an AAU team, consequently pissing off 10-20 members of their key demographic just because one player went to a school they don't sponsor. [Title]

Output: FWIW, I know someone who ran


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Where are you hearing this? One of the big reasons ND went with UA was that they wanted to have the largest contract in the NCAA, but adidas refused to make their deal worth more than Michigan's, whether through loyalty or contractual obligation. Also, when asked about the potential of more team/player sponsorships, UA's CEO said "we're not going to compete with our dumbest competitor." I think this kind of shows that company's direction, and I highly doubt more high profile college sponsorships are in their future. LINK to that story. [Title]

I'm staying positive because we played pretty well, but the odds are against us [Title]

Input: [Date] 20 weeks 3 days ago [Body] NIke is better based on what? I keep seeing the argument "Nike is clearly better" but have not seen any concrete reasons why other than "kids like it." You say that adidas sucks, but also say you only have ever bought one piece of apparel? I'm not saying everything they make is amazing but it's impossible to judge based on one item. And when we first signed the adidas contract, I would have agreed that Nike does make a superior product. adidas was crap up until about 2 1/2 years ago. But now, adidas has the top performance footwear on the market, hands down. And like it or not, tournament unis bring exposure to the brand. You're talking about it, and that was the goal. Remember when Nike had all of their schools wearing gray a couple years ago? People on here would have had a meltdown if that happened to us. There's also something to be said for being a company's flagship school. Given our recent success we'd be a middle tier Nike school at best. I mean look at Miami (YTM). They were the original sponsored school, but they've been down for a few years, Nike treats them like crap and they end up leaving for adidas. [Title]

Output: NIke is better based on

Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] Why? He is basically saying that the University has stripped everything away from games that made them fun and unique. If i want obnoxiously loud piped in music and advertisements at every stoppage of play, I can get that in the comfort of my own home by turning on the tv and cranking up the surround sound. The only difference is that I saved hundreds of dollars on parking, tickets, and absurdly overpriced food, and hours of time spent waiting in lines. The one thing I would miss out on by not going to the games now is the halftime show. And since they decided to turn that into an advertisement as well, i'm ok with missing it. [Title]

Output: Women have to be a little more passive aggressive than that. We get a lot of revenge on the base paths. I can't begin to tell you how many times I rung the bell of a bad attitude player. I was a third baseman and sometimes I'd just let the ball hit her in the back on a pickoff play. I'd put a little more mustard on a tag than needed or I'd aim for a sensitive place. Getting revenge at the plate is harder because the game is so much faster and the base paths are shorter. Pitchers will keep the ball high and tight on players but not in the numbers. I can say for myself that I was not a nice ballplayer. Keep in mind though that stealing signs usually happens from the dugouts, watching the coaches. For the most part, coaches call pitches.

Output: I'm interested to see if part of the due diligence on behalf of the Seahawks included determining where other teams had him ranked on their draft boards. He went in the second round, which tells me that the Seahawks weren't the only ones interested in him early. I'm not convinced that the Seahawks didn't do their due diligence. I think they assessed the liabilities and decided that he was worth the PR risk. The Seahawks also didn't have a glaring need for a DE which tells me that they might handle the fallout a little better than other teams that need depth at the position. As it is, however, I don't think the Seahawks failed everyone. I think they failed the family of the victim, but they didn't not fail anyone any more than other teams do when they resign or give chances to players with suspicious backgrounds. The Cincinnati Bengals are a prime example of a team that regularly signs players with records. That in no way excuses what happened with Clark, but it's a bit of a blanket statement to condemn the Seahawks for doing exactly what every other team does on a regular basis. The issue is not with the team, it's with the NFL giving lip service to victims of domestic violence but not enforcing regulations or punishing teams for signing players with criminal histories. The problem is, with the media attention span, this will be forgotten as soon as the next story crops up. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Think now of the top five quarterbacks in football right now, I'll say they are Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Aaron Rodgers. 5.3, 4.8, 4.83, and 4.71. What I see is a group of average runners. Maybe in the future the faster guys will have a bigger impact on the NFL, but the only two fast quarterbacks to have a huge degree of success so far are Russell Wilson (who is not a statistical marvel, he is an elusive but excellent game manager) and Andrew Luck, who is a pocket passer first. Ultimately, the throwing quarterbacks are the better quarterbacks, regardless of how fast they are. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I just think people are [Body]

Output: I just think people are getting overly enamored with speed and it's not necessary. People can rave that you can't teach speed, which may be true, but RGIII is the perfect example of what happens when speed is the underlying factor to the success of a quarterback. Surely we can agree that Denard was not a great quarterback. Would you rather have a fast guy that can throw, or a thrower that can run? 4.9 for a guy that's been touted as the more NFL polished than the guy with blazing speed behind a one-dimensional offense is not terrible, and Winston has great pocket awareness. I don't think either prospect is a slam dunk but all the same, the 40yd isn't going to be the definer of this particular draft pick. In fact, I'd bet that Winston gets drafted higher than Mariota.

Output: 2008: Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Chad Henne, Matt Flynn. 4.89, 4.84, 4.92, 4.79. Joe Flacco is the only one with a ring. 2009: Matt Stafford, Mark Sanchez, Josh Freeman. 4.81, 4.93, 4.90. No rings. 2010: Sam Bradford, Jimmy Clausen, Tim Tebow, Colt McCoy. 4.79, 4.76, 4.71, 4.79. No rings. 2011: Cam Newton, Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder, Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick, Ryan Mallett. 4.56, 4.51, 4.63, 4.83, 4.53, 5.24. No rings, one Super Bowl appearance, see 2008. 2012: Andrew Luck, RGIII, Ryan Tannehill, Brandon Weeden, Brock Osweiler, Russell Wilson, Nick Foles, Kirk Cousins. 4.59, 4.33, 4.89, 4.83, 4.53, 5.03, 4.84. One ring. 2013: EJ Manuel, Geno Smith. 4.65, 4.58. 2014: Blake Bortles, Johnny Manziel, Teddy Bridgewater. 4.93, 4.68, n/r. Yeah speed really matters. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Output: First, this doesn't apply to football. The NFL already saw to that. Second, why is this such a big deal? They are student athletes on scholarship. Besides, when was the last time Michigan had a one-and-done player? Beilein already knows he isn't getting those guys. He gets the development projects and turns them into lottery picks. I don't think this would cripple the B1G, I think it would set a precedent and force the NBA to change their stupid rule. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Output: On the flip side, if you are a professional with an impeccable resume and your company is going through turmoil that might affect your job, would it not be in your best interest to look around? What if you knew that your new boss might clean house? Do you stick around and hope for the best or do you do what's right by you and your family? Football IS a business decision at the DI level, and don't be naive about committing to a University over a coaching staff. If that was the case, coaches wouldn't be sports recruiters, academic advisors would be. That's ludicrous. We applaud kids for sticking with commitments, but how can we fault them for weighing their options when the next four years of their lives will revolve around their football participation in order to keep their scholarships and get an education? Get off your horse, this is a teenager that is weighing multiple "job" offers and he will take the one that is the best fit for HIS future, not your moral high ground as a fan.

Output: People are asking him to talk, but every time he tries to talk, the media twists and wrings out every double-meaning they can without bothering to follow up or respect any semblance of privacy he is trying to maintain. We have the attention spans of squirrels and we latch onto sound bites without the entire context, but he decides to not talk and the media is still trying to bury him. I don't really blame him for that. And these inner-city kids that don't listen to teachers or police officers? Sorry, that's not Lynch's fault, and insinuating that it is passes the buck of responsibility on a guy that did everything right to get out of a bad situation in the first place. That's shameful. Frankly, the NFL hasn't done a great job in enforcing codes of conduct this year, so the mouthpieces that protect the shield need a mirror-check before they throw another player on the bus for *gasp* not talking. There is one thing I agree with - the on-field conduct. Don't do anything stupid. Crotch-grabbing, lewd movements, purposely engaging in unsportsmanlike conduct, flipping off a team behind your back, there's a lot that players shouldn't do. Football is an impulsive, violent, crude game, but there is a line that shouldn't be crossed, and Lynch hasn't done himself any favors in that regard. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Output: I'd rather see the kicking game return to rugby style extra points. Instead of the automatic placement, the kicker must kick it from where the ball crossed the end zone, at any point behind that, as though a vertical line is drawn from the spot of the touchdown back and the kicker has to kick it from somewhere on that line. In tight games, that extra point becomes much more important, and game strategies would change to create the ideal place to kick from. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

I've played sports too long and coached kids too long to not see the effort and determination that other teams have, to see their heart and time and sweat poured into the game they love, and the feeling of it getting destroyed in one unfortunate moment. If you love the sport, you never wish for a player to get hurt, no matter how much you're getting paid or how much you hate the team.

No one thought Oregon had elite defense, but even then, they still recovered a few turnovers that they just didn't capitalize on. We have one of the deepest line backing corps in the B1G. The D-line is our issue at the edges. Harbaugh and Urban have completely different styles of offense and defense has not been our weak point these past four years.

My wife, on the other hand, really got into it, lost a lot of weight, built up to pull-ups and completing Murph RX, and dead lifting over 300 lbs. She's never been seriously hurt, either. My box owner lost over 120 lbs doing it and her husband is extremely fit. Their daughter is a nationally ranked junior Olympic lifter. I've seen how well it can work. Some people hate it. Some people love it. I've seen success stories. I've seen failure stories. The adage applies - don't knock it until you try it. Julie Foucher competes in the Central East (Central Beast) region, so I got to see her compete in Cincinnati during regionals. She's phenomenal.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] Just to be clear [Body]

Output: Mitch broke the law by smoking the weed. Regardless of when it is legalized, at the time he did it, he was breaking the law. He knew that and he did it anyway. He then got caught by the NCAA. Was it fair for the NCAA to target him? No. Is it fair for a cop to hide in a speed trap to catch speeders that are unaware of the trap? No. But the fact is, when they get caught, they face the consequences of their actions. There are kids who get put in prison for smoking weed or possessing a little bit of it. The worst thing that happened to Mitch was a suspension that resulted in a 1st round draft pick and a multi-million dollar contract to play for an NBA contender. Really, the only people that truly suffered are John Beilein and the basketball team, and the fans. And furthermore, the NCAA does test for legal drugs, and if you test positive without a prescription, the punishments are the same. I'm not saying that the rules aren't stupid, or they don't unfairly target people, or that weed shouldn't be legalized. I'm just saying that when you get told on many occasions what the consequences are of using recreational drugs, the NCAA makes it clear that you'll be suspended, you take the risk and you get caught, you really have no one to blame but yourself.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] And whose fault is that? [Body]

Output: Why on earth should a kid who can throw a ball really hard or run a 4.4 40 yd get to have different rules in admission standards than people who can't? A lot of really smart kids don't get into their dream schools because they didn't have the qualifications to pass admissions and they worked really hard in school. Then you have the NCAA, which lets complete morons go and get a free college education, even if they barely stay eligible in high school, because they're athletically talented. You want to talk about paying athletes, but we ignore all of the rules that we bent for them just so they could get a free education. So I propose that they do pay athletes, but force them to comply with the admission standards of the school. That truly makes them student-athletes.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] I'm getting to the point [Body]

Output: Where I am fine with paying elite players. With one caveat. Those elite players must meet the admission standards of the school, not the NCAA. If the players were all scoring 29 - 36 on their ACTs and holding a 3.3 - 4.0 GPA through high school, then sure. They deserve to get paid. But frankly, because of the difference of admission standards, that is major compensation. This issue wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the NBA and the NFL putting a time gap for draft eligibility and not developing their own minor leagues for underage athletes.

Output: At it's finest. I married a born-and-bred Columbus raised Buckeye fan, proposed to her in front of the M at the Big House (in 2011), and I wouldn't trade that kind of chemistry for anything. I blame Lloyd Carr for sinking our program. Not Brandon. Not RichRod. I think Carr had his finger plugged in the leaking hole and as soon as he retired, he removed it and watched as it sank, while handing RichRod the wheel and letting him take the fall.


Input: [Date] 1 year 5 weeks ago [Title] Morris [Body]

Output: Didn't really have many offers before Michigan offered, and afterward, we found out that some major B1G and SEC programs offered. I would like to think that this staff knows talent when they see it, and they don't have to rely solely on "other offers" and "# of stars" to evaluate who they want in the program.


Input: [Date] 1 year 7 weeks ago [Title] I've been a registered donor [Body]

Output: Since my father-in-law got sick and passed away in 2010 from leukemia. I've asked people to get on the donor list many times. To me, it's not much different than registering as an organ donor at the DMV. I'm not sure if the last paragraph is meant to be snarky but there goes the feel-good moment of this topic.


Input: [Date] 1 year 7 weeks ago [Title] That and [Body]

Output: Belichick has been the head coach of the Patriots since 2000


Input: [Date] 1 year 7 weeks ago [Title] I would like to think [Body]

Output: That this might make some recruits sit up and take notice. No matter what, it's great to get a Hello post!


Input: [Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Title] So? [Body]

Output: Don't click on articles about soccer. Here's a relevant tidbit for you. Real Madrid and Manchester United have a friendly match in the Big House in August. The game was sold out in a half an hour. Care to explain why 100,000 people would buy tickets to a sport that isn't popular in the US?


Input: [Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Title] The most popular sport in the world [Body]

Output: Is futbol. In fact, our version of football is the grandchild of soccer. The richest single sports organization in the world is Manchester United. Approximately half of the population is a fan of soccer. So basically, YOU may not care about soccer, but please don't speak for all of us.


Input: [Date] 1 year 9 weeks ago [Title] Well [Body]

Output: That's five minutes that I'll never get back. Terrible.


Input: [Date] 1 year 9 weeks ago [Title] There is [Body]

Output: A professional league. The Chicago Bandits, the Akron Racers are two examples of teams in the league. There is also a women's national team that competes globally.


Input: [Date] 1 year 9 weeks ago [Title] (Continued) [Body]

Output: Testament to her abilities. Go Blue!!!


Input: [Date] 1 year 9 weeks ago [Title] Honestly [Body]

Output: Based on her athleticism and her impact in major games, she a contender. The main reason I would figure she is there is because she is a sophomore shortstop with a .500 batting average as a righty power hitter and she's leading 3 NCAA hitting categories. That's practically unheard of. The last game I watched her play, they charged an error to her that was subjectively given based on the fact that she had made the exact same difficult play twice before. Never mind the fact that she's probably the only one who can do it. She has one hopped out of a back-hand off her back foot to make a cross throw to first. Incredible athleticism. Pitchers do a lot of work and rack up a lot of stats, and they typically have the most direct impact on a game. Romero being included on the finalist roster as a non-pitcher is a total


Input: [Date] 1 year 10 weeks ago [Title] I've got to admit [Body]

Output: This sounds incredibly creepy. "We'll take good care of him, I promise." Really. That's how you want to phrase that? If you're going to be a troll, at least try to sound less like a creep preying on a teenager. If Crawford wants to go to ND, I wish him the best of luck at an excellent university with good coaches and quite a bit of potential.


Input: [Date] 1 year 11 weeks ago [Title] I always appreciate skepticism [Body]

Output: But have you ever belonged to a box? Worked or focused on gaining a technique? Listened to success stories from CrossFit? I've been to good gyms and bad gyms. The good gyms put together lifts that include a weight-lifting set and a circuit training set that focuses on incremental improvements in fitness and lifting techniques. I've been to one that works in lifting monthly cycles - where Week 1 is 1-rep-max, Week 2 has 5 rep EMOTM at 65-75%, and so on. The bad ones will throw together what sounds sweet and not coach or train their participants at all. Not everyone likes going to the YMCA and running on a treadmill for an hour. CrossFit, broken down, is good ol circuit training wrapped up in a new package. But why is that a bad thing? The first thing a good gym should do is have their participants be fully aware of their limits and set goals that won't hurt them. Can't do a pull-up? Work with the bands for support. Can't do a 24 inch box jump? Move down to the 20 inch box. Don't have the stamina for 5 rounds? Do 3. Get the workout that works for you.


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Title] I like both [Body]

Output: For very different reasons. However, I'm giving the nod to Harry Potter, and I'll explain why. In the Star Wars trilogy 4,5, and 6, the acting was fantastic even if the special effects hadn't caught up as much. In 1,2, and 3, the acting was terrible. Just terrible. The storyline wasn't as good, the concepts weren't impressive, and even though the special effects made things cool, it just didn't make the story worth it. In Harry Potter, both the story and the acting got better over time. I also say Harry Potter because Star Wars was NOT originally a book, and I prefer books. The better question(s) would be LOTR v Harry Potter and Star Wars v Star Trek. However - if it came to a fistfight, I'd say Star Wars, because Yoda. Duh.


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Title] So [Body]

Output: Scheduling the perennial bottom feeder of a Big 4 conference isn't much better than scheduling a DI-AA team. When they start scheduling out-of-conference contenders, then I'll take this seriously.


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Title] So he says he tried it once mid-March? [Body]

Output: I'm all for legalizing weed, but that was really stupid. Even if he knew he wasn't going to play, this isn't his first rodeo in the tournament. He knew he could get tested. I wish him all the luck in the world at the NBA, but part of me feels like he was looking for an easy way out. Best wishes to his future, though. I trust Beilein to coach the incoming recruits and the current players.


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Title] That is [Body]

Output: Exceptional understanding of punctuation. Much appreciated.


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Title] When a Letter of Intent [Body]

Output: Is simply an invitation to try out for the team, I would think that player's rights are the last concern of the program.


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Title] Gee, pessimistic are we? [Body]

Output: Our anxiety with football centered on the offense. We didn't have much to complain about with the defense when it went from the worst unit in major college football to in the consistent upper echelons of productivity. Our offense is what has regressed like a bad joke. We aren't stupid enough to think that it's because the players suck. They don't. But when you try to fit a square peg into a round hole, you're going to get a lot of failure. Borges didn't have the personnel and tried to do these things anyway. However, Nuss is on the record as saying you tailor your offense to meet the needs of the players. That right there is extremely encouraging. No longer will we hear the adage of, "They didn't execute. We will try again next week." That was infuriating - a sign of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I'm not saying we are going to win a national championship this year. But I don't think we will experience the same levels of frustration that we did last year and during the RichRod defensive debacle.


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Title] So you're telling me [Body]

Output: That you made your best decisions when you were 17? That you never looked at your parents and went, "You were right all along." I seriously doubt it.


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Title] I don't really get it [Body]

Output: This isn't a situation where she is stopping him because she's not a fan of the Spartans or because she's an insane person. She obviously has legitimate reasons to say that she doesn't want her son at Michigan State. It can't be the academics - while they're not on par with Michigan's, for all of the blustering we do about school quality, Michigan State is not a BAD school as far as an education goes. We don't like to look at the world of college athletics where the boys are given star status on campus, can get their hands on any drug they want including performance enhancing drugs, have access to alcohol in quantities that would kill fish in Lake Superior, and they don't have to show up to classes or be able to write and read at a level higher than a fifth grader. They are boys, after all. Most of them have never had to be responsible for anything other than staying eligible and working out. Sure, there are exceptions. But McDowell probably isn't one of them. She might be a helicopter parent but I don't see the vilification part. She doesn't want her son in the environment that she witnessed at Michigan State. Maybe he will be fine, and thrive. Maybe he will be responsible. But who knows her child better than she does? So if she tells him that he has to take out loans and care about his education because he will be paying for it later, instead of flying through on a free ride, maybe that kind of personal responsibility will entice him to commit to the whole aspect of attending college, and not just his athletic ability. I would like to think that if I was in her situation, I would do right by my child, and not feel like I had to do right by a football team before that.


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Title] Michigan is the better team [Body]

Output: The athletes prevailed today. Calipari babysits NBA players for one season, Beilein turns college players into NBA players.


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Title] Who is wishing for a 4 point play? [Body]

Output: Definitely me. Fuck Kentucky.


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Title] I actually muted it this time [Body]

Output: Between the refs, the commentators, and the fans, I'm not drunk enough to tune it out.


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Title] Horford body language [Body]

Output: Is terrible. No wonder they're attacking the boards.


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Title] Mute time [Body]

Output: Varsity vs junior varsity on rebounding? I'm about to puke.


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Title] Ticky tack [Body]

Output: Bullshit fouls.


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Title] This is one weeks worth of pay? [Body]

Output: I would be ecstatic to make this in a week. He makes more in a month than I do in a year.
