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

Output: First one was a weekend tournament for our baseball team we had as many as six games in three days depending on if we won or lost. we didn't have enough pitchers with innings available going into the tourney. I finally convinced my coach to let me try (I wasn't a hard thrower so he didn't pay me any mind during the season) got the start in day two of the tourney and tossed 7 innings (max allowable for a weekend) of 3 hit 0 run ball. A buddy of mine and I were the OLB for our 14 y.o. football team. we were playing a team with an option QB that was just killing us. We had no answer for his speed. Coach got frustrated and called a double OLB blitz on one of the last plays before the half. We took out our teams frustration by hitting that superstar option QB so hard simultaneously that he refused to reenter the game.

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 59 min ago [Body] RR was lambasted by pretty much everyone for trying to spread and shred from day 1 without any pieces (for any offense) and was said to have cost us games. However, by the end of year 2 and fully into year 3 we saw that offense start to show signs of life. He got the axe, Hoke came in and tried to slowly turn that platypus into a unicorn and other than year 1 (where he was blessed with Denard) the offense looked like it had no idea what it was trying to do. Not that I worry about this with HARBAUGH but I think the lesson here is to have an identity and run as much of it as possible in year one, then make the transition as quickly as possible after that. People will argue "adjust the system to the players" and while I understand the calls for that I think knowing who you are and executing on that is the better play. You may have more growing pains at the start of running what you know, but you have a higher ceiling and likely a shorter learning curve for all involved. If you're adjusting the system to the players you'll probably have an easier time at first, but your curve will be long and you're already at least calling into question the ceiling because you have no idea what the end result even looks like.

Or maybe it's reloading this team to be elite in the cap era without having to deal Dats, Z or Kronner. No other franchise has the combination of continued success and level of prospects we have in the system. Ignore him he's another clueless 'hockey' fan who expects the same success after the adoption of the cap as we did when we could just outbid for every superstar out there. Almost every franchise who has had success is lacking for prospects; we have a stocked system that we're going to have to find places for.

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

Output: point still stands


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Body] (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. [Title]

Output: Just a thought


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: The past has a huge impact on my reaction


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] 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. [Title]

Output: Great game, still sucks


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

Output: I get the anger but


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

Output: "you'll all likely be angry at several points on Saturday"


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

Output: "why are you the dumbest dumbass in the history of dumbasses?"


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

Output: What can we do in the short term to win games?


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

Output: Very useful


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

Output: losing confidence


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

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

Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Body] 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 ... [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Body] I think a whole lot of people already panicked. Luckily by the time I signed in things began to return to normal. [Title]

Output: A little late

Output: For the ignorant among us, why is his commitment announcement now slightly awkward?


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] You have to add Neil Young's [Body]

Output: You have to add Neil Young's guitar playing to the positive side, but there's a strong case to be made that his voice cancels out most of that goodwill. And let's not forget about the Bare Naked Ladies that Canada subjected us too. It would be so much better if there were no capital letters there...


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] This was my first thought [Body]

Output: This was my first thought too. Might have nothing to do with trying to appease fans, just making the most out of home field advantage. Either way, I love it.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Well, at least we can lay to [Body]

Output: Well, at least we can lay to rest any argument about whether or not there is a god now.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I don't think the argument is [Body]

Output: I don't think the argument is against paying CEOs of major corporations this kind of money. It's against paying Dave Brandon, a tone-deaf megalomaniac, that kind of money


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 5 days ago [Title] You the mean the five hookers [Body]

Output: You the mean the five hookers that Craig James ALLEGEDLY killed while at SMU? Because it hasn't been proven the Craig James killed five hookers at SMU; it has only been alleged that Craig James killed five hookers at SMU.

Output: and can we safely assume the eponymous drew is the one and only drew sharp, a low-level spawn of satan?

Output: I was raised a Notre Dame fan. Does that count as child abuse??


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Have to be BBQ sauce, [Body]

Output: Have to be BBQ sauce, probably Sweet Baby Ray's. While there are certianly better BBQ sauces there, if I'm only having one condiment the rest of my life, I think this provides the best combinations of versatility and quality.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] then uh... why are you [Body]

Input: [Date] 23 weeks 5 days ago [Title] while burke was certainly in [Body]

Output: while burke was certainly in possession of a good deal of grit, it paled in comparison to his other attributes. i think in this context grit almost has to imply a lack of raw talent that trey had in spades. now excuse me while i go watch highlights of the kansas game for the ~400th time.

Input: [Date] 4 days 13 hours ago [Body] I watched quite a few games last year on "spider cam." Not having the announcers actually made many games bearable that otherwise would not have been. I highly recommend it, whether you have cable or not. [Title]

Output: I watched quite a few games


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Body] Interesting to me he's so down on Kugler. The fact that Cole ran with the ones during Glasgow's suspension doesn't really mean much IMO. Cole will play left tackle, and Glasgow has positional flexibility. Kugler has looked pretty good to my eyes, minus getting blown up once or twice against Willie Henry. If Kugler can be decent at center, that opens up a lot of possibilities and adds some insurance if one of the other guys (probably Braden) struggles, or, knock on wood, injuries/suspensions happen. [Title]

Output: Interesting to me he's so


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] The race for the podium spots are going to be interesting, well for this at least (Quintana probably had second locked up). Lots of guys right around each other on time and about the same level. [Title]

Output: The race for the podium spots


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] Yeah, he and BMC have both publicly stated that the podium is the goal, not winning. I think they know tejay just doesn't have the firepower to beat the very best guys, especially with no long ITT this year. He also doesn't have a strong enough team to go on the offensive and he's too close on time for the leaders to let him get away on a solo attack. [Title]

Output: Yeah, he and BMC have both


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] As much as we love tough guys, I wish cycling backs off the continue at all costs culture a little. There's no way a guy who bonked his head off a telephone pole like that should be allowed to continue descending mountain roads at 60mph without getting checked out first. Thomas ended up being fine, but Chris Horner, for example finished a whole stage a few years back without knowing where he was. [Title]

Output: As much as we love tough


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] They scream doping for every tour winner. All too easy to assume cheating when your guy isn't winning, given cycling's history. [Title]

Output: They scream doping for every


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] Favors tejay as far as not getting dropped. No way he rides anyone off his wheel doing steady tempo though. Froome and the sky train are also good at riding tempo on steady inclines. The only real chance anyone has is attacking them on the steeps and there just aren't that many kms above 10% left to go. Most of the guys behind him will probably be looking to protect their positions and fighting for a podium spot instead of really working together to crack Froome and sky from here on out. Hope I'm wrong, but that's been how tours with one dominant rider/team have gone done for years now. [Title]

Output: Favors tejay as far as not


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] Nope, his problem is he's trying to do the Giro, Tour double and is virtually impossible to peak for both. He was just as dominant for the Giro. Hell, he even looked pretty good last tour despite doing the giro, before he crashed out. [Title]

Output: Nope, his problem is he's

Output: At least it's not Dominos,


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Body] The voluntary program is an above and beyond standard that many teams choose to adhere to. The governing body's testing is most definitely not voluntary. Low cortisone levels are legitimately caused by inhalers, which are legal to use, which is why the official rules allowed him to race. I'm not going to say everyone's clean, but the level of doping controls that have been implemented recently are above and beyond just about any other sport (Google "biological passport"). I understand people being skeptical with cycling's history, but to assume nothing's changed since the Land era is really unfair. [Title]

Output: The voluntary program is an


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Poor damn Tony Martin. At least he got his day (s) in yellow. Looks like he'll officially be the yellow jersey since he technically is a DNS for tomorrow and not a DNF for today. Also, Sagan must be kicking himself for signing with Saxo. He turns himself inside out and saves Contador's tour twice, but can't get even one guy on the team to lead him out. [Title]

Output: Poor damn Tony Martin. At

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Tour de France is my go to crutch for this time of year. Goes all through July, meaning it takes you pretty much from end of NHL/NBA playoffs to when fall camp starts and news from that starts trickling out. [Title]

Output: The "except in all things


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Day hiking is one thing, but to me wilderness is implied when it comes to backpacking, otherwise what's the point? If you can drive right up to the campsites and just as easily go home and sleep in your own bed and come back the next day, you're really just going through the motions for the sake of it. It is a great local trail for a tune up before a trip though. Another one in the area is the Potowatomi trail. It's nice that it's a loop (with cut offs if need be), downside is you have to share with mountain bikers, which can get pretty annoying on the weekends. [Title]

Output: Day hiking is one thing, but


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Porcupine mountains are my favorite. There's a great loop that runs 4-5 days that let's you get a great sampling of Northern Michigan wilderness. You get a night on the lake superior coast, one by a babbling stream, one by a gorgeous inland lake (Lake of the Clouds or Mirror Lake), and on top of a Appalachianesque escarpment. If you plan ahead, you might even be able to add a night in one of the cabins spread out through the park. Since it's a State Park, not a National Park, there are fewer rules and no permits required. If you're feeling adventurous you can even venture of trail and disperse camp outside of the established sites. [Title]

Output: Porcupine mountains are my


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Close, sure, but it's hardly a wilderness experience. [Title]

Output: Close, sure, but it's hardly

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Blue Tractor is decent in general, but their brisket is pretty hit or miss. Once I went and it was great, second time was more like roast beef (and not the good kind either). If you can settle for pork, most stuff there is pretty good. [Title]

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Run game is expected to be a struggle at this point, as is QB. The spring game format definitely didn't help things. I think people are freaking out more about WRs because that position is more based on individual athleticism vs chemistry and timing. [Title]

Output: 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,


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 2 days ago [Title] What has improved [Body]

Output: 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.....


Input: [Date] 1 year 48 weeks ago [Title] Expected Improvement [Body]

Output: 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!


Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Title] TeamView [Body]

Output: Used LogMeIn for awhile, then ran into some issues......I use TeamViewer on a regular basis and it works great.


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] I love the fact that MGoBlog [Body]

Output: 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!


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] Fantastic Post [Body]

Output: 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!


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Series 7 [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 2 years 38 weeks ago [Title] I was suprised [Body]

Output: 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.

Input: [Date] 3 years 6 weeks ago [Title] I've had similar rootkit [Body]

Output: 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


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Maxwell [Body]

Output: 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.

Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Were any of this kids [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Title] MSU [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Steve Everitt [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 3 years 37 weeks ago [Title] I would look for [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 3 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Iowa Game [Body]

Output: 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......


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Everyone is so focused on Denard [Body]

Output: 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.........


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Maybe we'll get to see Antonio Bass [Body]

Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] He's in a touch spot [Body]

Output: OSU has so many issues, he's not been given much to work with and is definitely not helping himself, JB is just horrible........


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Gallon has been impressive [Body]

Output: and so has Kovacs........also getting Countess playing time and seeing him play well bodes well for our DB depth this year and next.........


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Going back 10 years [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] I agree with M-Dog [Body]

Output: 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.....


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Title] 10-2 most likely [Body]

Output: 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...........

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Day hiking is one thing, but to me wilderness is implied when it comes to backpacking, otherwise what's the point? If you can drive right up to the campsites and just as easily go home and sleep in your own bed and come back the next day, you're really just going through the motions for the sake of it. It is a great local trail for a tune up before a trip though. Another one in the area is the Potowatomi trail. It's nice that it's a loop (with cut offs if need be), downside is you have to share with mountain bikers, which can get pretty annoying on the weekends. [Title]

Output: Day hiking is one thing, but


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Porcupine mountains are my favorite. There's a great loop that runs 4-5 days that let's you get a great sampling of Northern Michigan wilderness. You get a night on the lake superior coast, one by a babbling stream, one by a gorgeous inland lake (Lake of the Clouds or Mirror Lake), and on top of a Appalachianesque escarpment. If you plan ahead, you might even be able to add a night in one of the cabins spread out through the park. Since it's a State Park, not a National Park, there are fewer rules and no permits required. If you're feeling adventurous you can even venture of trail and disperse camp outside of the established sites. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Blue Tractor is decent in general, but their brisket is pretty hit or miss. Once I went and it was great, second time was more like roast beef (and not the good kind either). If you can settle for pork, most stuff there is pretty good. [Title]

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Run game is expected to be a struggle at this point, as is QB. The spring game format definitely didn't help things.

Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Body] I confirmed that with his dad today. His dad said as far as he understands he'll be able to play right away, rather than redshirting. He may redshirt anyway because he's a freshman, but they think he'll have instant eligibility. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Body] I don't know who reported that but that was never the case. Garnett actually told me early on that he thought Zach was looking for different things in a school than he was. They were never a package deal. Garnett said to me that it would be cool if they ended up at the same place, but didn't think it would happen. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Body] And just to add, even if something were to happen with Terry (not implying anything), it's my understanding that they would look to fill that spot with another corner. It has more to do with the current roster. Obviously that can change, especially if the numbers don't add up, but that's the thinking right now. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Body] Mrs. Diamond was taking Jordan's teammates around with Jordan to different schools and they recently stopped by Eastern for his teammates. It's right next door so they probably stopped by to say hi to Chris. There's nothing wrong with Bryant, he's just good friends with the Diamond family. [Title]

Output: No, I don't think he meant


Input: [Date] 3 years 52 weeks ago [Body] Yeah, he has interest in Michigan. I didn't get to talk to him last night though.

Input: [Date] 4 years 1 day ago [Body] I don't know why everyone is debating what this decision has to do with. Armani said in the interview why they want another corner. That's why, not because of anything that has to do with Standifer or Richardson. [Title]

Output: I don't know why everyone is

Input: [Date] 4 years 2 days ago [Body] Just to sum up what the Elmers are looking for, they're looking for the right school for Steven. They want to make sure the other stuff outside of the football program is right for him, that's why I say school. They are very interested in Michigan, and given the proximity to home have been able to visit a little more frequently. They also have interest in other programs though like Wisconsin and Notre Dame, which they will be visiting this weekend. They'll also make it out to Lansing for a Michigan State game. They're willing to do what it takes to make sure Steven finds the right fit and the right place for him. They ultimately want him to be comfortable and to feel like he's a part of his environment. They're ok with it if it takes awhile, because they want to get it right. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Body] I don't think they'll get offered today either, but I'm not sure. Reschke was just offered by MSU, so there's a chance they might offer too. I'm under the impression it's more meet and greet as well. I wouldn't be surprised if they did throw Reschke an offer out afterwards though. [Title]

Output: I don't think they'll get


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Body] I normally don't do that, but it's been all over the board that these guys specifically are thinking about doing it, so there's no sense in hiding it. I'm not protecting them from anything, and I said it might happen it might not so it's not a 100% confirmation either way. [Title]

Output: No, he's a preferred walk on


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Body] So just to make sure everyone's on the same page, Glasgow is now a preferred walk on for Michigan instead of Ohio State. Michigan also took preferred walk on OL Gary Yerden as well. If you remember Yerden was a weight lifter in high school. [Title]

Output: I just haven't talked to him


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Body] It was a conservative guess. I only put it in that range because I don't know how some prospects could get re-ranked or where some of the top recruits will commit to at other schools. I said in the article it was just for fun, it could eventually be higher than that I just have no way of predicting what happens where. It was just to give people that were asking about it a look at the potential. [Title]

Output: It was a conservative guess.

Output: No, and I hope nobody takes


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Body] These type of visits aren't viewed fondly by the coaching staff. They won't happen if they're still committed. That goes for anyone, not just these two. Also, I'll go ahead and answer the next question that's about to come. No, I didn't mean anything by saying if they're still committed, nothing to worry about as of now. [Title]

Output: These type of visits aren't


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Body] I don't consider myself an evaluator of talent. There's probably a lot of people on this board better at that than I am. If you want my opinion though, I don't think he and Stanford are comparable. Stanford is a 6'5" jump ball receiver. Judging by Monty's film he's used a lot differently than Stanford is. He's in the wildcat, taking direct snaps, coming across from the slot, he's taking plays across the field, etc. I like his film, though. I think he's versatile and big enough that he could fill a few different spots and be a different kind of threat than Stanford. Doesn't look like he has awesome speed, but good enough, good hands, a couple plays he gets dirty and blocks downfield. That's great to see for a receiver in high school. Looks like he can make a play after the catch too, so I really like the offer. I think he would fit in well with the offense. [Title]

Output: I don't consider myself an

Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Body] As of right now I don't think it's a big deal. Royce loves Michigan, so if he wants to take a few visits that's not up to anyone else but the coaches to tell him not to. That's part of why I haven't really mentioned it, I don't think it's a huge deal right now. They weren't supposed to decide this early anyways, so they probably do want to see other places. [Title]

Output: As of right now I don't think

Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Body] They might still take a QB, this was more for a look at what's happening right now with star rankings and where the class would project. A lot of things could be different around signing day, we'll just have to wait and see. [Title]

Output: They might still take a QB,


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Body] You guys are better at stats and numbers than I am, so if you see something that doesn't make sense let me know. This is just meant to be taken lightly, like I said in the post it's impossible to predict because of all the factors that go in. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Body] If you remember awhile back when Michigan was somewhat recruiting his teammates. I had asked Kyle if he had interest in Michigan, if he would listen to the coaches if they were to try to recruit him, and if he would visit if his teammates did. He answered yes to all of those, and I reported it. Bucknuts got a hold of it and got him on their radio program. He basically said it wasn't true, because they were grilling him on the spot and he was committed to OSU still. He's always had some interest, but the NCAA stuff pushed him out. He wanted to know that Fickell would be there permanently, and eventually realized that he couldn't get that guarantee. After he realized that he visited Michigan and was wowed by what they had to offer. Combine that with Tom Strobel, his good friend, telling him he would love it and this is what you have. [Title]

Output: If you remember awhile back


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Body] No, I'll create a separate post eventually. [Title]

Output: No, I'll create a separate


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Body] I don't remember what it was in reference to, but basically what happened was this. He was planning on committing on his visit the first time he went up to Ann Arbor. His coach told him not to and told him just to wait a little bit. He went up, loved the visit and knew he wanted to pick Michigan. He wanted to wait until everything died down because he was getting hit up by a lot of Ohio State fans pretty bad. He wasn't a silent commitment as some people were reporting, but he knew that he was coming to Michigan. He had been telling a few Michigan commitments that he was coming, and recently has been recruiting a few kids to Michigan. He asked that I not mention who they are, so I won't. He set up this visit with his family with the intention to commit, and he did. [Title]

Output: I don't remember what it was


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Body] Their decisions aren't likely related. Wormley is a quiet kid so he wants to announce quietly and unexpectedly. He'll do it when he thinks it's a time that no one will expect. [Title]

Output: Their decisions aren't likely


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Body] I'm obviously not there, but they're going to send out a release once he announces. I'm sure it will get out before the release hits my email. I have heard some positive things lately, but I don't know for sure. [Title]

Output: I'm obviously not there, but


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Body] His coach said they're going to email out a press release once he announces, for those of us that won't be there. Scheduled to start at 2:30, but it could take a little bit for the actual announcement. [Title]

Output: His coach said they're going


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Body] If you ask his coach he's saying he's still considering Michigan, and that he's announcing at the All American game. He told me that Wayne realizes the school that really wants him will wait for him, which basically contradicts the first statement. I wouldn't read too much into him wearing a Michigan hat. [Title]

Output: If you ask his coach he's


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Body] That seems weird because Garnett has told me that he doesn't think they will end up at the same place. He said Banner is looking for different things than he is. [Title]

Output: That seems weird because


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Body] Mario Ojemudia told me he will also be at The Opening, and Royce Jenkins-Stone told me he wasn't invited for some reason. [Title]

Output: Mario Ojemudia told me he


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Body] Because I forgot to put Oklahoma on there. Oops. [Title]

Output: Because I forgot to put


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Body] Payton has been a little uneasy about USC for awhile now, so this isn't out of nowhere. [Title]

Output: Payton has been a little


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Body] July 31st from 11-3 I believe. I'll have to double check the time. Caleb Stacey told me about it, he's going. So is Ringer. I'll confirm others as it gets closer, but it sounds like invitations were extended. [Title]

Output: July 31st from 11-3 I


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Body] He's good enough, but those guys aren't scared of competition. [Title]

Output: He's good enough, but those


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Body] Also, rather than starting a new thread I'll just post this here. I deleted a thread I started last night about Kyle Kalis because I don't have a paywall to write behind. Everyone can see what I write so I felt that it was best just to keep everything off right now. For those that didn't see it, there wasn't anything huge just more or less telling everyone to be patient. The comments started to get speculative and turned into exactly what I didn't want to happen. So I deleted it. I have been talking to him this whole time, I think I might be one of the few. I just wanted to clear that up, so please don't start posting speculative stuff below this now. Just leave everything alone for now. [Title]

Output: Also, rather than starting a


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Body] No, that wouldn't make any sense. Morris is already the QB for the '13 class. [Title]

Output: No, that wouldn't make any


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Body] I'm not expecting him to get an offer any time soon, maybe later on. I don't mean that as a knock on him, I just don't think it will happen until closer to signing day if they don't think they're in it with anyone higher on their board. Don't take this post as me implying anything just thought I would give him a chance to say what's going on and that he's hoping to hear from Michigan. [Title]

Output: I'm not expecting him to get


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Body] The coaches are well aware of these kids, especially Kyle. Like I said above they really like him. Just because he doesn't have an offer doesn't mean they're not interested or don't know about him. [Title]

Output: The coaches are well aware of


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Body] It depends on the class size, if anyone goes pro, etc. If you look at the numbers right now though and want to ballpark off that you might be able to come up with a reasonable number. The depth chart for the 2012 season will have (assuming they keep all their current OL commits and add two more) 16 spots over the entire line. 2012 sees Omameh, Barnum, Mealer, and Khoury graduate. This is all assuming no one jumps to the NFL, but you'd probably be looking at around 4 spots for 2013, 4 or 5 realistically. [Title]

Output: It depends on the class size,


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Body] I know Michigan really likes Kyle, he could potentially be a candidate for an early offer. We'll see what happens. [Title]

Output: I know Michigan really likes


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Body] He's alright, thanks. He got roughed up pretty bad by the rottweiler. He got thrown in the air and bit on the neck a few times, but he just has some bruising and deep puncture wounds. He's doped up on morphine right now, so he has no clue what's going on. [Title]

Output: He's alright, thanks. He got


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Body] Yes, I believe they would take him. [Title]

Output: Yes, I believe they would


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Body] Mauk told me he'll be deciding within the next few weeks but he's kept everything quiet. Much like Kiel I don't think they're telling anyone what's going on. [Title]

Output: Mauk told me he'll be


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Body] haha, alright alright you guys can unbuckle. I was told a few things by a couple people I trust today and thought something would happen. We'll see when it does. [Title]

Output: haha, alright alright you


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Body] Yes [Title]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Body] In that update, I want to make this part clear, that it's not 100% that Kyle will take the other visits. I'll explain everything that happened once it's over if someone reminds me. The decision to take visits was decided by he and his coach so he can think about things. Visits can sometimes change that, but we'll see. [Title]

Output: In that update, I want to


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Body] Not everyone reads every post on here, so it's bound to happen which is fine. I do sometimes wonder if people are actually reading my stuff sometimes if there's a front page post or a diary and someone posts the exact same thing from elsewhere. It happens on Twitter a lot, too. I'll post something and someone will ask a question that's answered by my tweet. It's like a weird game of Jeopardy. I don't mind though, I like talking to everyone. [Title]

Output: Not everyone reads every


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Body] Like I said below, the Kalis Update on the board is exactly what's happening right now. [Title]

Output: Like I said below, the Kalis


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Body] I think thhe coaches have gone back and forth on whether to take 2 or 3 more linemen. With Diamond and Kalis in the position they're in, the coaches at most have one more spot to fill. You mentioned Bars and Bisnowaty, Bars as he said in my interview is announcing within a week. If they miss on those two the cochra can sit back and wait for guys like Garnett and Banner to visit and see what happens. If they were to only get Kalis and Diamond I don't think they would mind. You might see a few new names pop up too if they decide that they do want 3 more in this class. [Title]

Output: I think thhe coaches have
