Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Title] I disagree with the "major [Body]

Output: I disagree with the "major diversity" suggestion. I think it would only reward schools that offer a large group of academically questionable majors. Remember when Ohio State was making fun of Michigan for having so many kids concentrating on General Studies while they players majoring in "Family Resource Management" and "Sports and Leisure Studies". Furthermore, kids who didn't care would still be pushed into random majors. I think it is actually beneficial to put players who don't have a specific interest into concentrations like General Studies at Michigan, Business at Notre Dame, or Science, Technology, and Society at Stanford (info from old mgoblog article "Destroy Harbaugh"). It gives them a manageable selection of classes(considering their intense athletic schedules) and allows them to take classes with their peers while offering them exposure to college level courses and helping them build basic communication/analytical skills. If they fail to make it in football and desire a more specific education at a later time, schools should offer them a full-ride and admissions help to a grad program of their choosing. If anything, I think the NCAA should push to standardize education for atheletes across schools and ensure that athletes meet some core set of criteria in their coursework. Granting Terrell Pryor the status of Academic All-American is a greater mockery of college athletics than pushing kids towards a more managable course of action.


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Title] Which RB coaches would have [Body]

Output: Which RB coaches would have made any of the RR-era backs into multiyear NFL players? Touissant's injury pretty much ended his NFL hopes. V Smith was never going to make in the NFL. STEVE SLATON IS NOT IN THE NFL. Does Rich Rod have any RBs currently in the NFL? Rawls was just a body in the 1 month 2011 class. Jackson hyped him up. Jackson hypes everyone up. Justice Hayes is still under 200 pounds. Hayes will still be a RS Jr. He looked pretty good in the bowl game, even if he is moving to slot. Drake Johnson, who was supposedly very raw coming out of HS, was competiting for the starting job. I thought Smith and Green improved a good amount over the course of the year.


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Title] He must not be a big Under [Body]

Output: He must not be a big Under Armour fan.


Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Title] It is also important to have [Body]

Output: It is also important to have 3 scholarship-worthy athletes at QB. So far, the 2011 QB class has been underwhelming. What QB would you have taken that you would feel comfortable starting as a RS Fr? Would it help the 2013 team to take another Bellomy-level talent over a guy like Willie Henry/Dennis Norfleet(last minute guys who are major contributors)?


Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Title] We didn't have relatively [Body]

Output: We didn't have relatively few. Last year we had 4 all B1G and this year we have three. Considering there are 12 teams and only 26 spots, we had a good amount relatively.


Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Title] The 2011 team ran the ball [Body]

Output: The 2011 team ran the ball pretty well. They also won a big road game against Virginia Tech.


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Title] How is there a lack of demand [Body]

Output: How is there a lack of demand if the tickets are still over 100 dollars? There have been a few Michigan games were it was difficult to give student tickets away.


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Title] It's supposed to be amateur [Body]

Output: It's supposed to be amateur athletics. Players who wish to be paid according to their free market value you can try to do so elsewhere or lobby the NFL to drop their ridiculous restrictions


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] He could still get a pay [Body]

Output: He could still get a pay raise by leaving. If texas offers him 15 million a year, he turns them down, an they offer their second choice 7 million a year, Alabama would only have to pay him 7.1 million.


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] Doesn't the BWW pick before [Body]

Output: Doesn't the BWW pick before the Gator this year?


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] What are you talking about? [Body]

Output: What are you talking about? Pretty much every coach hired into the league is a former coordinator/assistant. UW and Colorado hired coaches from weaker conferences(though petersen is a much bigger name that any MAC coach). Arizona and WSU took chances on disgraced offensive gurus and ASU hired Graham. UCLA snagged a twice fired former NFL HC.


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Title] Amazon's CyberMonday site is [Body]

Output: Amazon's CyberMonday site is pretty sweet, especially for electronics. I pretty much just checkin on the deals on it all day. There are/were some really cheap TVs if someone is looking to pickup a second TV for their bedroom or something.


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Title] Most of those guys appeared [Body]

Output: Most of those guys appeared compotent and to not struggle starting next to other veteran players. Schofield looks terrible this year and many people are saying Lewan actually isn't that great. How many times in Michigan history have we had this many young guys playing side by side on the OL/TE/FB positions?


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] Set for years? Isn't Guiton a [Body]

Output: Set for years? Isn't Guiton a senior and Braxton a sophomore?

Output: So we can lose the extra practices?


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] Yeah they don't usually lose [Body]

Output: Yeah they don't usually lose to less talented ND, Nebraska, Iowa, etc. teams almost every year. God bless you man, hmmmmmmmmm,


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] It is one thing if talented [Body]

Output: It is one thing if talented underclassman beat out multiple more experienced players for a starting position. Michigan has three young guys right next to each other on the interior that are pretty much playing their by default.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] Or we win out, they lose in [Body]

Output: Or we win out, they lose in the CCG, and we go to a BCS bowl while they go to the Outback bowl or something.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] He had won an NC with LSU but [Body]

Output: He had won an NC with LSU but not many would have said he was the best coach in CFB in 2007.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] Did watch FSU in 2011 when [Body]

Output: Did watch FSU in 2011 when those "veterans" were playing for the first time? They went 8-4 with losses to Virginia and Wake Forest with a defense that was more talented than ours.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] If your avatar pic is of [Body]

Output: If your avatar pic is of yourself you need to stop dressing like an ass. Drives me crazy. No headset. You look like an idiot. You look like a 3rd grader whose parents bought him clothing a size to big because they didn't care about how it looked and he would someday grow into them. Also, I don't know why you 'quoted' toughness and your puns are week.* *no.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] Yeah Michigan never performs [Body]

Output: Yeah Michigan never performs well at home.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] They both had *a freshman [Body]

Output: They both had *a freshman starter.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] Young OL can contribute. [Body]

Output: Young OL can contribute. However, the odds that 3 young OL playing adjacent to each other against the best D in the country on the road are going not play terribly are pretty low.


Input: [Date] 4 days 11 hours ago [Body] are option years. he bet on himself last year by taking a one year deal instead of for years like everyone else drafted around him. that didn't work out but looks like he had a shot in Indiana. [Title]

Output: yeah, I'm thinking years two and three


Input: [Date] 5 days 21 hours ago [Body] football is much more complex than baseball. cowherd came off as a bigot making his point but it is no less valid. your rant came off as a defense if baseball which is fine but it is clearly less complex than football. [Title]

Output: just dumb


Input: [Date] 1 week 53 min ago [Body] but this was one of the laziest posts you've ever done. There's so little is the data to distinguish the three and you don't point out his many deficiencies. [Title]

Output: ace, I love your basketball stuff


Input: [Date] 1 week 11 hours ago [Body] and all other kinds of expenses to live a better life that most of us can't even imagine. Even if all the medical expenses are paid the family will have a lot of extra expenses in the coming years. [Title]

Output: They'll likely have to make modifications to their house


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Body] and Cuse will have 10. They rarely have a rotation greater than 7 players. I don't think this hurts Cuse too much. [Title]

Output: Duke just won with 8 scholarship players


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Because, no video evidence. Coach can convince himself that his player is actually being honest and it isn't as bad as it sounds. [Title]

Output: Because, no video evidence


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Body] noticed Cuban's slight of hand? Broussard claims Cuban was texting Jordan's family and Cuban says prove that I was texting Jordan's friends. Also Broussard has zero common sense. If Cuban didn't have Jordan's address he could just ask Jordan's agent, Fegan. [Title]

Output: Broussard is obviously an idiot but am I the only one who


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Body] In fact he was at a grandfathered in max from playing so many years and having started in 1996 when there was no rookie scale. So he was at 35 million in his last year - 12 million more than anyone else - and took 26 million a year for his last two years after he had torn his achilles. He said he took all the money because he was worh it. From a marketing prospective he was, but he showed that he valued money over winning. [Title]

Output: Until 2014 Kobe's salary was at the max


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Body] It's not like Duncan is making 10 million a year for Texas department store chain endorsement or something. These billionaires are highly competitive that own teams and they stand to lose money if other owners are cheating. If they thought something fishy was up they would investigate and file a complaint. Dirk and Duncan have both made 150 million plus in their careers with no state taxes. If they value winning over cash at this point in their life then more power to them. Kobe did not, now he is on a shit team. [Title]

Output: Baseless speculation


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I fully expect them to be in the mix. [Title]

Output: Don't forget the Thunder


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Body] if not crippled in the past. If Gilbert got caught paying his players on the side we would be heavily fined and stripped of multiple first round picks at best. At worst he would be voted out of the league. Under extreme circumstances the league could do something really punative like canceling player contracts. What typically has happened in the past is that teams have promised players that they will keep them in the organization after they retire if they take a discount. That's more of a gray area and happens all the time. [Title]

Output: Teams that have violated the CBA have been heavily fined


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] As a huge NBA fan and Michigan fan I loved how you used these trades to laugh at some truly awful franchises. I also enjoyed the dead-on analysis of our guys's careers so far. [Title]

Output: Great article Alex

Output: Up your game Thad!

Output: you truly are a bigot


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Body] So Gores wouldn't be too smart if that were his logic. [Title]

Output: green is restricted


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Body] but there are plenty of nose bleed seats in the end zone which are awful. I take it you've never say there? [Title]

Output: great ideal


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Body] you will get your tickets before the first home game. getting them earlier only matters if you are pawning then off on OSU fans. [Title]

Output: I think the correct response is, who cares


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] you'll realize tomorrow when everything comes out. [Title]

Output: you're wrong


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 4 days ago [Body] they said donating to an organization that will use the money effectively is almost always better than volunteering, in a vacuum. [Title]

Output: listening to a Freakanomics podcast


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 4 days ago [Body] clearly you've never been in a bad place before. Asshole. [Title]

Output: there's nothing political about someone suffering


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 4 days ago [Body] from the bracket you sent us it looked like we would only see them in the finals. [Title]

Output: who did Illinois lose to?


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Did I miss something [Title]

Output: I thought he signed with us


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 1 day ago [Body] and I'm totally okay with it. Chances are that in the next 12 months a player either transfers or goes early. But Beilein can't be sure about that so he is holding off on recruiting Towns until something opens up. Of course by the time something opens up it may be too late to get Towns or someone of similar talent. It's the price of doing things the right way. [Title]

Output: This is why our recruiting isn't as good as it could be


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 1 day ago [Body] It's called la batalla de puebla in Mexico. [Title]

Output: yesterday was a federal holiday


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 3 days ago [Title] True [Body]

Output: I believe he was invited to the PSU night game this season, so I can't imagine how excited he is for that.


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Saving face [Body]

Output: Why should we praise Goodell for giving an extremely weak punishment and taking his sweet time to do the right thing after he sees that the whole thing isn't blowing over? I don't think it really matters if he saw the tape or not. The issue I have is that he has just screwed up the entire situation and made the NFL look stupid in the process. Goodell is lying about something. I don't really care if he loses his job, but I wouldn't care in any way if he did.


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Honestly [Body]

Output: They aren't as bad as I imagined they could be. I actually don't mind Maryland's other uniforms either. The only thing that looks bad on this jersey to me is the declaration going down onto the shoulders/sleeves of the jersey. It looks fine on the helmet. I like it quite a bit more than NW's patriotic jerseys.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 2 days ago [Title] at this point [Body]

Output: At this point it seems like Kelly has been trying to keep up the illusion that these guys may play just to keep Michigan guessing. Your point is the other possibility, but it really doesn't look like they'll play. Either way I think Michigan pulls out this win.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Fuck the irish [Body]

Output: This place is just a whole lot more fun when Michigan beats the hell out of somebody, especially the Irish. Lets keep that going. I have a good feeling about this team. We have some special playmakers and I wanna see Notre Dame walk away from this rivalry with its tail between its legs. Go blue, stomp em


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Agreed [Body]

Output: That's how I've always looked at games like this. I don't really root for anybody in particular. I just take joy in the positives of each scenario. I generally lean toward LOL MSU, though.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 4 days ago [Title] nice work [Body]

Output: That maize is extra highlighter-y, and I don't mean that as an insult. I'll probably use this on my laptop when I get home


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 4 days ago [Title] agreed [Body]

Output: I figure we'll be thinking MOAR FUNCHESS a little bit anyway. Overall I don't think the running backs do much, but just enough to help extend a few drives.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Homers [Body]

Output: Im not sure why exactly, but I have a lot of confidence in this team to beat Notre Dame. I can't really explain it, but I just like what this team has. There's plenty of weapons on offense, especially if the line can hold up and create a few running lanes. I think the main thing for me is the confidence in Nuss. I actually think he will make sure he adjusts his offense to what they can do effectively. If the line falls apart in the run game I have faith that he'll open things up through the air. I'm extremely interested in seeing what types of plays he introduces for this game. I'm really tempted to predict a big win for M, but I'll say it ends up a little closer than it should. Something along the lines of 28-20 in favor of M. Gardner and the receivers shine while the OL opens up enough holes to get Smith and Green a couple runs of 10+ yard runs to keep the defense honest. Can't wait for the game, go blue.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 4 days ago [Title] TIE! [Body]

Output: Obviously the tie is the best outcome. /s On that note I had to look up what the record for most overtimes was because the only way I can imagine a tie game now would be a case of insane OTs. The 2003 game between Arkansas and Kentucky holds the record with 7 OTs. The game ended in a 71-63 win for Kentucky. Interestingly enough, Arkansas was also in a 7 OT game in 2001 against Mississippi. There's some random facts for you.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Speaking of Lou... [Body]

Output: Did anybody else see him Saturday evening on ESPN? He basically started talking about how you can't tell anything from week one because all these teams are playing cupcakes, then he goes on to say Notre Dame is awesome because Rice. Rece Davis and Mark May were pretty baffled. I love that they openly made fun of him, though.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Well... [Body]

Output: Well, I'd say that's the key.

Output: Phase 1: Eat the lemon Phase 2: ??? Phase 3: Profit


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] Her voice [Body]

Output: Her voice bothers me for some reason. There are women with voices that don't bother me.


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] Telling [Body]

Output: I also noticed the team has some very promising sock technology working in their favor on game day. Hell, even some of our more rambunctious MGoBloggers (I'm looking at you WD) are getting in on it... which is nice.


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] Wow [Body]

Output: Jesus, man. Really? It does make me curious when this first became a common practice, though.


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] No [Body]

Output: Both hits were nice, but Woodson really smashed that Baylor guy into the ground. Countess had solid contact to start the tackle, but then the ASU player just kinda falls down. Having said that, we're splitting hairs and we should probably just enjoy the hits.


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: I was about to say the same thing. I liked the Peppers hit a lot more than that Countess hit, but tackles are always nice.


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Agreed [Body]

Output: I've hated him from the moment I saw him on ESPN. It may be that I just hate all the youngest guys they've added (I really freakin hate the newest guy I noticed that they bring in to talk about the NFL). I'm 22 so it's not like I hate young people, these young guys just seem to be real dopes. Jesse Palmer is the only one I can tolerate for any amount of time. I'm gonna start sidetracking here, but I really felt like puking when I watched the SEC Network before the USC Tex A&M game. They were just trying way too hard to compliment everything about each team, the stadium, everything SEC, etc. I get it because it's the SEC Network, but the Big Ten Network isn't that bad, is it? I really hate Tim Tebow, and I'm not even sure why. He seems like a truly great person, but I think his voice is mostly what annoys me. That bald Paul Finebaum can be somewhat of a dick, too. I probably need to avoid ESPN as much a possible.

Output: Groot, what gives? When did you add all these words to your previously borderline nonexistent vocabulary?


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 2 days ago [Title] For some reason [Body]

Output: I'm imagining you watching an old timey black and white hype video now... so that's interesting.


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Wow [Body]

Output: That was surprisingly well thought out and awesome. Well done, sir. Some of that stuff is truly weird.

Output: I'm still shocked Georgia Tech changed their sleeve cuffs from Blue to Gold. Where's the outrage MGoBlog faithful?


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 4 hours ago [Title] 2-4 [Body]

Output: In my experience the majority of scalpers have sets of two together, and sometimes you can find people selling 3 or 4. That's about it. I can't imagine finding 10 together from a scalper would even be possible. It seems like it'd be pretty hectic with that many people together anyway. I'd recommend just having each person scalp individually, but if sitting together is that important go on stubhub.


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Love it [Body]

Output: I might actually use that just because the picture looks so damn good and I'm incredibly pumped for football to be back. I've also been using the MBB bench reaction to the infamous Burke 3 against Kansas. I love that background and all, but I think it might be time to move on.


Input: [Date] 50 weeks 3 days ago [Title] ads [Body]

Output: Oddly enough I was also smacked in the face with a red ad, but mine was for Flagstar bank. Other than that the site was pretty bland. I'm not really a fan. I think the lack of dividing lines or sections makes the ads stick out even more than they would normally. There's way too much white on the screen for me, but others may feel differently.

Input: [Date] 29 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I think you might want to qualify that statement a little. I'm betting that, like me, you weren't so much cheering for OSU to win as you were cheering for Alabama to lose. There's a big difference there. [Title]

Input: [Date] 31 weeks 5 days ago [Body] It's actually 3 NFC Championship games. Those 18 year olds are gonna be in awe of Jim and his resume. You think NFL players are gonna care about what he did at UM, Chicago, Indianpolis, San Diego, Palo Alto or Santa Clara? NFL players care about their playing time, their contracts and their endorsement deals in that order. College kids are gonna run through walls for Jim. UM's admin is gonna give Jim the keys to the AD. In the NFL no matter what team he goes to he's gonna have FO issues and political issues. There's a reason Jim lost a locker room after 3 NFCCG's and a SB appearance. His message and style doesn't lend itself as well to the pro game as it does to the college game. [Title]

Output: It's actually 3 NFC


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Not to mention their asses. [Title]

Output: Not to mention their asses.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I disagree, the NFL is very volatile. Every year there's a coaching carousel. I'd say the NFL is more volatile than the NCAA. Sometimes coaches don't even get 2 years before they get canned. College coaches ususually get 3-4 years minimum before being shown the door. Now there are more college football programs than NFL teams but if you're talking Power 5 schools then there's not a huge disparity. I believe Schlissel and Hackett are going about this search the right way this time which makes me think that whoever they select is going to be in the position for many years. Jim may not get this shot again for a long time. In the NFL every year there is an opportunity, Greg Schiano got a job for crying out loud. It's churn and burn. Jim's already shown he can coach in the NFL. Even if things go badly for him in Ann Arbor some NFL team would give him a shot. He has an NFC Championship ring. He'll get another shot guaranteed. [Title]

Output: I disagree, the NFL is very


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I doubt they make a big cheese offer like this without some indication from the Harbaugh camp that there is interest. Now that the offer has been made there has been no official rejection of the offer and any implication that Jim is using the offer as leverage is ridiculous. There's no way Jim strings his Alma Mater along causing potential damage in the interest of his own selfish career pursuits. I think there is a strong possibility based on the facts that he does accept the offer. [Title]

Output: I doubt they make a big


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Sorry but I would beg to differ. Any coach who takes his team to 3 NFCCG's and a SB and then loses the lockeroom in his first 4 years in the league still has some polishing to do. [Title]

Output: Sorry but I would beg to


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Body] If that logic were true then why not suspend all discussion until you've fulfilled your contract term? [Title]

Output: If that logic were true then


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 2 hours ago [Body] Another thing to keep in mind for all those who don't think he'd leave the NFL. Jim is a smart guy. He's gonna look at what happened, or what didn't happen, in Santa Clara and see that the same thing could easily happen in Oakland or anywhere the Niners send him. He lost the locker room. NFL players don't respond to the ass chewing style of coaching a la Bo. I don't see the Niners FO releasing him since he has trade value. They could send him across the country to a team he may want no part of. Even if the Raiders are an option there are rumors they may relocate once again to LA. That would blow any notion of him taking the Raiders job so he could keep his family where they are for daily involvement. LA is almost 400 miles away from the Bay with flight time, gate time and driving time that's a 2 hour commute at minimum. With bad CA traffic that could be more like a 3 hour propostion. Not exactly something you'd want to do daily after late nights at the office. UM may be the most attractive choice if he can't be near his family, in terms of how he wants to coach and the control he wants to have. I don't see Jim staying in the NFL and transforming himself into Pete Carroll. [Title]

Output: Another thing to keep in mind

Output: I talked with a few of the guys and adidas was at practice a couple weeks ago having the players try them out. Many complained that they were too tight and were riding up under they pants, making them pretty uncomfortable and distracting. So don't expect to see them on Saturday or for the bowl game.

After meeting him for the first time, the second I saw him he remembered my name and some things we had talked about during the first time we spoke. And he is like that with everyone that he comes in contact with, he’s incredible. Tom Brady is quoted as saying Greg Harden was the reason he decided to stay at Michigan. He is a class act and a true “Michigan Man”. Take advantage of any opportunity you have to meet him.

Output: I'm going into my junior year as well. I decided to get tickets without a group this year to insure I got the best possible seats and then go and sit with my friends wherever they end up. I am ahead of schedule credit-wise so I assumed I would get some pretty good seats. I got my tickets in the mail the other day, section 28, row 62, AS A JUNIOR!!! So count your blessings, you're a lot better off than some of us.

Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Body] If we lose to both of those teams, I'll be shocked. That would say more about us than a loss to state. I fully expect this team to regroup. The 2010 psu game was definitely the turning point, but that team had just come off of two losses that they didn't really have much of a shot in (save some late game throws by Forcier vs Iowa). I would say that these next 3 weeks are the proverbial Penn State 2010 for this team. They are expected to win and they should win against lesser opponents and failing to do so would certainly fuel the offseason chatter about the staff. [Title]

Output: If we lose to both of those


Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Body] Well they're 7-1 with a great defense. I don't see how that doesn't make them good. When you're starting from the 50 most of the time like they did yesterday, you're going to score points. Comparing scores is irrelevant. We scored 59 on CMU and 28 on Akron but CMU is better than Akron. It's not so black and white [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Body] I respect him for saying that. Last year was kind of a perfect storm for a tourney loss. Quality wins all year, a B1G share, being almost basket away from a sweet 16 the year before, and an overrated seed that we didn't deserve. I can't really blame them for taking a MAC team lightly. Tourney experience will help the team this year since Trey and Tim and co. will have the idea of how easy it is to go home fresh in their minds. [Title]

The season seemed lost and everything hopeless, but everyone remembers that season for the tournament (The Eulogy of Bruce Pearl and KICK IT OUT TO STU, DARIUS!). The season's not over and there's still a lot of basketball to be played. Beilein has seen low points in a season and has seen his teams recover well. [Title]

Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I think you're generalizing a bit too much. I am a UMF grad and I claim to be an alumnus of the University of Michigan because that's what my degree says. But on my CV, Linkedin, etc. and if anyone asks, without hesitation I tell them I graduated from Flint. No, it's not the same campus or admission standards (for sure), but smart people come from everywhere. I was admitted to Ann Arbor for undergrad, but it was MUCH cheaper for me to live at home and commute to Flint. In my field (chemistry), the ACS standardizes the curriculum for a certified degree and it's the same at every university. The same core concepts are convered and I guarantee that I could take any chem class in Ann Arbor and get all As just like I did in Flint. I'm now getting my PhD from NC State because I like the research that I'm doing here with a faculty member that's in an NSF collaboration with some of the best people in the country, including Melanie Sanford in AA. But having "Flint" on my degree didn't stop me from also being admitted to AA, Wisconsin, Washington, and UNC for grad school. Oh, I also had an NSF fellowship as an undergrad. There are definitely people who try to "fake" going to AA, and I don't condone that at all. But your elitist attitude toward this subject is why many people view UM grads as arrogant and entitled. I'm an alumnus of the university and I do my best to represent it as well as I can. I wish everyone else could say the same. I hope my accomplishments are "polished" enough, because I'd love to climb up onto that horse with you. [Title]

Output: Proud UMF grad

Input: [Date] 1 year 48 weeks ago [Body] Thank-you for saying what needed to be said. They don't give out the numbers for the benefit of the fans. It's a great honor for the players and draws attention to the great tradition at Michigan. And for those complaining about players making their own legacy, they could always use the number from before the switch. If Gallon really does do enough to have #10 put into Legends circulation, then they can use that number. BUT, do you then honor Gallon or Tom Brady? I gurantee people wouldn't be screaming "get off my lawn" if Gallon had been awarded the #1..... [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 50 weeks ago [Body] The only ads in the stadium I would care about would be the ones on the video board. Stadiums that use 30% of the board for advertisements are just plain ugly. Other than that, I don't care about advertising. Vendors are all over the place peddling merchandise and services. The game program is basically just an ad book with a roster and a player profile. I don't think you'll ever see the stadium being "plastered" with ads. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Body] While I agree the joke is harmless and not really that bad, I just wouldn't want to be a recruit that saw that type of talk on here. Not saying we we get a lot of them, but it's possible. I agree that criticism of the staff is sometimes warranted (I do it too), but not when it comes to the abilities of a player. I think in this particular scenario they've earned our trust. But how does JUB put it? UM fans are more like opera critics than football fans? ;) [Title]

Output: Good point


Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Body] I really don't like that we're criticizing the recruitment of Sypniewski so much. If the staff felt he deserved a scholarship, who are we to judge? Give the kid a chance. Just throwing that out there. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Worst Christmas ever [Body]

Output: When I heard it was Hoke, I had that feeling of utter disappointment similar to when you think your getting a great present and you get socks and underwear. Based on Brandon's comments about pay and defense I expected a proven top quality coach. Clearly Brandon only cares about the coach being a Michigan Man (Bo man). I hope Hoke is successful because there are no other Michigan Men after him. I am most upset with the way RR was treated. I realize he made a lot of mistakes, but to give him only three years is not classy and not in the Michigan Man way. Regardless of what Brandon wants we should have honored the contract we gave him (6yrs.) especially since he was asked to reinvent the program. Just as DB said that football runs Michigan athletics, this hire will decide his success. The lights, Alabama, etc. won't mean anything if we have another losing season or two and don't win the Big Ten within 3 years. Hoke's first tell will be if he can win back some of the recruits that were high on Michigan. We should be able to get back into it with the defensive recruits. I am beginning to think that Dave Brandon does not realize that running an athletics program is not like running a business. I think he thought he could through money at coaches and they would come (which is the case in corporate), but after you fire the previous hire at 3 years, who would want to leave a safe and successful program for what we were offering. I don't think many successful coaches would take that gig.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Watch the pay package [Body]

Output: If the annual salary is ridiculously high, then Hoke probably was plan A and Brandon overpaid. Perhaps on purpose.


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Don't think RRod will sign 2 yr extension [Body]

Output: He still has 3 years on his original contract.


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] posted from iPhone [Body]

Output: I can't imagine another program taking RR and all his defensive assistants after the last two years at M. Their resumes don't look real appealing right now.


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Title] If I was Denard I would leave [Body]

Output: If i was Denard and Harbaugh is the coach, I would leave and head to a spread program, burn my redshirt and then have two years to perform. His stock is crazy high, he has proven he can be a QB, and there is little chance Harbaugh uses him the same way.


Input: [Date] 4 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Offensive tempo [Body]

Output: It seems to me that our offense is more successful when running at a very fast tempo. This was the case in early games and when down by multiples in the second half. I have felt the offense is a little slow on the first couple possessions. I think if this offense scores early to start it can hurt the morale of opposing defenses, whereas a three and out to start strengthens their morale.


Input: [Date] 4 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Fake field goal [Body]

Output: I don't think Penn State was backing off when they faked the field goal late in the game. Joe Pa did not want Denard on the field.


Input: [Date] 4 years 39 weeks ago [Title] McGloin is a RS Soph [Body]

Output: 2.5 years of sitting the bench to learn the offense and develop can mean a lot. Also, he is a former walk-on, so JoePa saw enough to award a scholarship.


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Receiver sounds better [Body]

Output: I'd rather rather see Denard get a quick pass as a receiver where he could take off or pass it forward as the CBs pull up to tackle. I would think most CBs would give him a big cushion on the LOS.


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Home vs. Away [Body]

Output: If Alabama is the home team, does that mean their season ticket holders will get most of the tickets?


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] posted from iPhone [Body]

Output: If stipends were being paid it would reduce one of the competitive advantages Michigan has in recruiting. The value of a Michigan degree is far greater than the value of degrees from other institutions because of the quality of education, access to alumni, and even starting salaries upon graduation. If other universities could compensate by paying recruits then the value would equalize over time.

If you want to have a real discussion you might also want to leave out statements such as "...I do know that NCAA football is little more than indentured servitude."

Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Body] The author of this article completely screwed this up. If it was based on the rankings he would simply apply to more widely used national criteria to the regional schools. Even a "top" ranked regional school would struggle to make the top 75. Creighton accepts 80 percent of its students and as a 25 percentile ACT score of 24. It isn't some academic powerhouse. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Body] I disagree with the "major diversity" suggestion. I think it would only reward schools that offer a large group of academically questionable majors. Remember when Ohio State was making fun of Michigan for having so many kids concentrating on General Studies while they players majoring in "Family Resource Management" and "Sports and Leisure Studies". Furthermore, kids who didn't care would still be pushed into random majors. I think it is actually beneficial to put players who don't have a specific interest into concentrations like General Studies at Michigan, Business at Notre Dame, or Science, Technology, and Society at Stanford (info from old mgoblog article "Destroy Harbaugh"). It gives them a manageable selection of classes(considering their intense athletic schedules) and allows them to take classes with their peers while offering them exposure to college level courses and helping them build basic communication/analytical skills. If they fail to make it in football and desire a more specific education at a later time, schools should offer them a full-ride and admissions help to a grad program of their choosing. If anything, I think the NCAA should push to standardize education for atheletes across schools and ensure that athletes meet some core set of criteria in their coursework. Granting Terrell Pryor the status of Academic All-American is a greater mockery of college athletics than pushing kids towards a more managable course of action. [Title]

Output: I disagree with the "major


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Body] Which RB coaches would have made any of the RR-era backs into multiyear NFL players? Touissant's injury pretty much ended his NFL hopes. V Smith was never going to make in the NFL. STEVE SLATON IS NOT IN THE NFL. Does Rich Rod have any RBs currently in the NFL? Rawls was just a body in the 1 month 2011 class. Jackson hyped him up. Jackson hypes everyone up. Justice Hayes is still under 200 pounds. Hayes will still be a RS Jr. He looked pretty good in the bowl game, even if he is moving to slot. Drake Johnson, who was supposedly very raw coming out of HS, was competiting for the starting job. I thought Smith and Green improved a good amount over the course of the year. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Body] It is also important to have 3 scholarship-worthy athletes at QB. So far, the 2011 QB class has been underwhelming. What QB would you have taken that you would feel comfortable starting as a RS Fr? Would it help the 2013 team to take another Bellomy-level talent over a guy like Willie Henry/Dennis Norfleet(last minute guys who are major contributors)? [Title]

Output: Chris Clark is one of those guys where if he was coming to Michigan, he probably woudn't have waited till signing day to announce. We've seen this "strong interest early - not commited (or decommited) but still interested - doesn't commit" situation with other top recruits in the past. Hope I'm wrong on this one.

Output: There comes a point where money isn't really a deciding factor... when you're already a millionaire, taking a job you don't want to go from rich to slightly more rich isn't appealing.

It implies that U of M fans who didn't go to Michigan are poor rednecks who couldn't possibly become anything like they're U of M attending bretheren. I know plenty of U of M grads who flamed out, and plenty of people from smaller schools that are rocking their lives so hard. 2. WHY I WOULD DESPISE YOU FOR LOVING THIS THING THAT I LOVE. It's easy to love U of M if you went there, but if something draws you to U of M fandom without attending U of M, your fandom actually impresses me a little more.

Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Don't be so sure... [Body]

Output: I'm not sure what people's' perception of a film program are, but the SAC major at U of M was pretty demanding if you wanted to do well academically. You had to learn a huge scope of film history, internatioinal cinemas, techniques, theory, etc., and use a ton of critical thinking skill. We also had to write a ton of three page papers... Papers where you've written 5-6 pages, and it seems impossible to make your argument more succinct. I also did screenwriting, which double my workload. Anyway, not saying it's tough like engineering or something (cause it definitelty is not), but I could see it being tougher at times than the B school coursework (judging from my B school friends and working there as an undergrad). I imagine that at USC, which has a very respected film program, the requirements can be pretty tough. EDIT: Man, totally forgot about the screenings. Those killed your week. I had upwards of 9 hours of screenings a week at times.

I'm 25 and have been reading this blog since the beginning of undergrad. My perception is that little is stylistically different. Brian is still busting out constant, hilarious content. Citing one headline you don't understand as evidence of "numerous bizarre illusions" makes me want to punch you in the face is not evidence. If you want all your content delivered as flavorless mush because you lost your tastebuds years ago then go somewhere else. If you're so intellectually lazy and devoid of humor that jokes and illusions prohibit you from understanding the article then go somewhere else. The style of this blog is EVERYTHING and you are not allowed to groundlessly attack it. Your decreased consumption is a good thing.

Output: I think anybody that likes this song is taking crazy pills. Yes, Zoolander crazy pills. I can't think of a song that has a more cheesy, nonsensical chorus in all of music. DISCLAIMER: I know none of the other words to this song. Maybe those other words explain the following questions. It breaks down like this: "For those about to rock" - nonsensical Poignant questions: What are people doing before they're about to rock? Are they doing something salute worthy? Is the act of about-to-rock more salute-worthy than the act of rock that is going to follow? Summary: WHY ARE WE SALUTING PEOPLE WHO ARE ABOUT TO ROCK BUT HAVEN'T ACTUALLY DONE ANYTHING YET? "We salute you" - cheesy (also nonsensical) Poignant questions: Why are we "saluting" those about to rock? When you honor a rock musician, do you salute them? Is this rock musician your WWII Veteran grandfather? Summary: Expressing honor for rock musicians by saluting them doesn't make any sense. That'd be like honoring Mother Theresa by punching her in the face. I WANT ANSWERS BRAAAAAAAA

Input: [Date] 1 day 12 hours ago [Title] His contract [Body]

Output: says that he has to be signed to an extension during this season, up until five days after the World Series, if not extended by that date then the team must release him. MLB rules state that a player released after the season cannot sign with the team that released him until mid-May of the following season. The Tigers don't really seem to do mid season extensions and Cespedes wants to test the free agent market, and obviously he would sign with a team and not wait until a couple of weeks after the start of next season just to sign back with Detroit. By trading him the Tigers don't have to deal with that clause.


Input: [Date] 1 day 15 hours ago [Title] Supposively [Body]

Output: Cespedes likes playing for the Tigers and would like to stay here, but also understandibly wants to test the Free Agent market so he can get a good deal. I don't put a ton of stock in players making comments like that, especially when it doesn't come directly from the player but rather through his reps to the media. Last year Jason Hammel was traded from the Cubs to the A's for their playoff push and then signed back with the Cubs.


Input: [Date] 1 day 16 hours ago [Title] I think Simon [Body]

Output: should be kept for now. Just traded for him before the season and probably won't be able to recoup what was sent out to get him. He is serviceable for a number five starter but I think he would have the most value being in the bullpen. Kinsler isn't getting any younger, but he is the type of player that I think every team needs a bunch of, and I don't think the Tigers have very many. If they can get a good return, Machado is there to fill in, but he doesn't seem to be anything special. Sure would be great if Devon Travis was around....


Input: [Date] 1 day 16 hours ago [Title] Cespedes [Body]

Output: basically has to be traded if the Tigers want to bring him back as a free agent due to his contract terms.


Input: [Date] 1 day 16 hours ago [Title] Probably won't get [Body]

Output: any almost MLB ready top prospects, but should be able to get some solid players who can play at the MLB level the last part of the season and some highly thought of players who are several years away from the big leagues but have above-average potential. And if a few teams get in a bidding war, and there very well may be one for Price, there could be a very nice return.


Input: [Date] 1 day 16 hours ago [Title] If he is healthy [Body]

Output: he would still be a great piece to have. Obviously there was a big injury risk with him considering his age and history, and with him getting hurt the contract looks really bad. The first part of the season it was clear as day that his knee was a big issue when he hit left-handed, and since coming back from the DL he has hit better, but watching his lefty swing he still doesn't seem to be generating as much torque with his lower body as he did last year. Even when he is not productive at the plate at least he is a good veteran clubhouse guy, so he isn't completely worthless.


Input: [Date] 1 day 16 hours ago [Title] Right decision [Body]

Output: The big league team doesn't need a complete rebuild, but there is a major need for some good prospects in the organization. Send out Price, Cespedes, Soria, and Davis and bring back a mix of solid, pretty much MLB-ready guys to help the team down the stretch (back end of the rotatiion starters, relievers) as well as some very high potential guys who are a couple years away still (top 3 starter/closer/of). The key being YOUNG guys, not taking on mediocre veterans. Would like to see Soria and Cespedes brought back after this year as they have both been good here. Need to sign an ace and/or number two starter as well, but probably not going to be someone of Price's level. If Verlander and Sanchez can at least be decent next year and the team (MIggy and VMart) stays healthy, they should still be in the playoff picture going forward. Oh, and a new manager. Ausmus is a good dude and seems like he would be a great assistant, but his managing has been mediocre at best. I can't recall a game where his strategy/decision making straight up won a game. In the late innings of games in particular he seems to make bad moves. He seems like one of those managers that fit better with a young and totally rebuilding team than one in World Series-or-bust mode.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] They have Jennings [Body]

Output: on a pretty cheap contract. He is still maddeningly inconsistent with his shot/decision making but started playing really well last season only to unfortunately shred his achilles. I think he is a good piece to keep around if he comes back healthy as a highly used 6th man but if the right trade comes along he can be considered surplus to requirements.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Stanley [Body]

Output: will hopefully be Ron Artest 2.0 without the mental instability. Jackson is solid but that is a lot of money (even considering the future cap boom) for a point guard that isn't much of a natural shooter or playmaker, could certainly do a lot worse though. Hopefully Jennings can come back fully healthy as I thought he started playing really well before he got hurt and he is still young and has talent, if he can just put it all together. I feel that the team's makeup is still a bit of a mixed bag with players whose games do not necessarily compliment each other, but it is better than previous years. Bottom line is the team should have a better record but I expect the league to be pretty balanced except for the top few and bottom few teams and it will be a battle to make the playoffs.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Pretty cool for Delonte [Body]

Output: Can't say I foresaw him getting signed by a team considering his lack of playing time (and honestly his performance when he did play) but he did have a great pro day. Detroit hasn't exactly set the world on fire with their UDFA signings this year, maybe with some coaching he can grab a practice squad spot, but he would have to be considered a longshot.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Now THAT [Body]

Output: would likely be a really good fight. No way Floyd would agree to fight someone of Golovkin's ability at a higher weight though. Probably will be a Cotto rematch again, maybe a younger guy like Thurman gets a shot. I don't think Floyd is looking for any real challenge with his last fight.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I don't [Body]

Output: think that they have to charge that much, but they can because a lot of suckers buy into the hype so easily and shell out the money. This was never going to be a classic fight, maybe 6 years ago, but it ended up being a sham with both guys mailing it in a bit and plenty happy with their ridiculous payouts. Not totally surprising that two old fighters refused to push the envelope, no fire from Pacquiao and Mayweather coasted, just doing the bare minimum to win unanimously.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Well, most scams [Body]

Output: can be avoided by being diligent. Mayweather fights are not particularly exciting, especially at this stage in his career as a 38 year old about to retire. He has always been very defensive, he is a brilliant boxer but not in a way that casual fans find exciting. Pacquiao on the other hand is an aggressive fighter, but being past his prime he doesn't have the energy he used to, and combining that with the fact that he is smaller and facing an all time great defensive fighter he had to tone down that aggression. This was never going to be a heavyweight slugfest. Pacquiao ended up being way to conservative with his attacks in order to avoid taking any major risks and in doing so made a likely bland match even more anti-climactic.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Disappointed [Body]

Output: in Manny's performance, although I certainly didn't think he would win. Novices are blasting Floyd for being boring, but I think that it was Pacquiao that was boring as he lacked his usual aggression (apparently had injured shoulder + he is old). Felt like Floyd was trying to get Manny to be aggressive so he could use his counter punches, but Manny was very selective about throwing flurries and didnt take the risks necessary to have any chance of breaking through Floyd's defenses. For Manny to win this fight he should have thrown a lot more punches than Floyd, but he ended up throwing less, very surprised by that.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] House was shaking [Body]

Output: pretty good in Grand Rapids.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Title] MGoBlog [Body]

Output: MGoBlog. I'm a broke college student so no donations to Brian and Co., but this is the one site I disable AdBlock, so thats something, eh?


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Illuminati [Body]

Output: Illuminati has the letter "m" in it. Michigan begins with the letter "m". The University of Michigan is located in Ann Arbor. The name Ann Arbor has 2 "A"s. The name Ace Anbender also has 2 "A"s. What shape is seen in the letter "A"? That's right. A triangle. The Illuminati is a triangle. What is the opposite of a triangle? A circle. What letter is in the shape of a circle? The letter "o". Ace Anbender works for Mgoblog. The name Mgoblog has two "o"s. What else has two "o"s in it? That's right. Cook. Brian Cook and Ace Anbender = Illuminati CONFIRMED


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Toronto FC [Body]

Output: I think I am going to start following Toronto FC now that it looks like Detroit won't have an MLS team any time soon. Definitely not supporting a Columbus or Chicago team. Giovinco is a favorite of mine and I also like Bradley, Cheyrou, and Altidore. Should be a fun team to watch.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Nope [Body]

Output: Dawson played in that game. In fact looking at the box score their whole team seemed to be active. Izzo is pulling a Brian Williams.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Not a good source [Body]

Output: "Teddy Blanks" steals from message boards and makes educated guesses. This hire has been rumored for the last week.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 3 days ago [Title] His "source" [Body]

Output: was premium content from message boards with his own (ultimately very incorrect) spin added to it. This kid is full of bs and the results of the coaching search proved that. He is like an optimistic Ace Williams.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Gentry is raw [Body]

Output: Malzone is a better passer right now, but Gentry has the physical tools that Malzone doesn't.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Would not [Body]

Output: be surprised if he came back to coach here in the future. Kind of got squeezed out with the presence of both Durkin and Mattison, but those two will likely only be here for a few years at most.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Incorrect [Body]

Output: Tom Tupa won the Super Bowl in 2002 with the Bucs. Of course he was the punter, not a QB by that point.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I doubt it, [Body]

Output: after the hype wore off. His passing numbers were the result of an unstoppable rushing attack. He missed some easy throws and was helped out by Devin Smith being a beast on deep throws. Of course it only takes one team to believe the hype though.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Where his [Body]

Output: passing was not anything special but his ability to bulldoze through high arm tackles was. Cardale probably would not have been a high pick after his actual passing ability was broken down on film.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Title] And [Body]

Output: in Sweden, Norway, and Iceland it is legal to sell sex, but illegal to buy sex.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It may be legal [Body]

Output: and safer but there are still major problems with sex trafficking in those countries, as well as all the other problems associated with prostitution (rape, drug addictions, stds, pimps, abuse, etc.). What many of those women go through is still horribly sad.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Ah yes [Body]

Output: a big lowpoint in a season full of them. There was a lot of butthurt after that score, but it wasn't like MSU was doing anything special, just running power and Michigan couldn't stop it. Of course if it was Michigan scoring the touchdown we would have loved it. That moment really showed how far the team had fallen, and honestly a lot of the fanbase as well.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Title] If the opponent [Body]

Output: started shooting threes with wonky off hand form it would be a bit of a mockery of the sport. The approach you mention is fine for soccer, but I don't think it works as good for basketball and only demoralizes the team more. Skills should ideally be devoloped in practice, and it would be weird to put backups in but tell them to only use their weak hand, not shoot inside, etc. I think the best approach is to put in benchwarmers and let them play their game and see what they can do while giving minimal coaching input.


Input: [Date] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] BEAT OHIO! [Title]

Output: BEAT OHIO!


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] Let's skip the expose and get right into it...lets all meet up with pitchforks in hand and I will hand out the torches and we will get those answers together! Ready Break! Seriously though this thread is dumb. [Title]

Output: I have a better idea....


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] Everyone is using the points scored on Wisconsin and Iowa....didn't we score these points in the second half after getting blown out in the first half? They were probably not being as aggresive as they would have been in a tight game. Rich Rod lovers just always have an excuse..it is so sad. Our offense didn't score when they needed to. How many times this year would the offense have a chance to go up by double digits after the defense made one of their few stops and failed. Rich Rod FAILED here..come on people...FAILED! [Title]

Output: Insanity


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] Ummm...In three years what is one positive thing Rich Rod has done for Michigan on the football field...the blind Rich Rod love is amazing...wow [Title]

Output: Rich Rod Love


Input: [Date] 5 years 32 weeks ago [Body] It is so sad to hear about a story like this. Everyone that brings up a person's past after a tragic accident like this are pathetic. Any loss of life is a tragedy. [Title]

Output: So Sad


Input: [Date] 5 years 43 weeks ago [Body] Rod Allen is perfect for the jinx call in Tigers games this year. I cringe whenever he gives a stat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSxFl3le25o [Title]

Output: Jinx Call


Input: [Date] 5 years 43 weeks ago [Body] My wife pointed this phrase out and now it is all I hear. [Title]

Output: Ticky Tack


Input: [Date] 5 years 43 weeks ago [Body] Where else can you get Michigan news and find out Shredder was voiced by Uncle Phil...Awesome! [Title]

Output: I love this site!


Input: [Date] 5 years 43 weeks ago [Body] Do I lose points or gain points for saying that this video gives me chills....? [Title]

Output: Points
