Output: I wish we could go back in time and hear the intelligent things that came out of your yap when you were 18. I'm sure you blessed the world with some real gems. I don’t think we can forget that these are still kids who are excited because they just made a huge decision, and possibly the first grown up decision of their lives. This kid is pumped to go to Rutgers, as he should be. Let him have his fun, and wish him the best.


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Ok Guys... [Body]

Output: Rolls need to be slowed a bit. He's a kid who is about to sign an loi, he's all jacked up on teenager hormones. Let him be excited. He never said Michigan sucks, he said Rutgers would win. Didn't Kalis say something similar?

Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Title] I've figuered it all out... [Body]

Output: He will be in Ann Arbor is spirit... but Physically playing NCAA 12 on PS3 with his friends... Now what we need to know is which team is he playing as? I'd say if he plays as Michigan, he's a lock to go blue... if he plays as another team, he's trying to build up his team to get an offer to be Michigans coach, in which case he also goes blue... If he plays Call of Duty, I don't know where he'll go. Whatever happens, lets hope this kid attends a top notch school where he'll get a good education, play good football and graduate with a degree that will help him in the future... that is to say I hope he doesn't go to ohio or sparty. If that school happens to be Michigan, that would also be great.


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Title] I Heard He Accepted the ND Job.... [Body]

Output: I mean, his legend would be completely solidified if he went to South Bend right? Winning 3 titles isn't enough... he needs to do it while handcuffed... Notre Dame Fans are stoopid.

Output: Right after you dumped her anyway. As a buddy once said to me as a chunky ex walked by... Good fold.


Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Title] The author of this article [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] They offered Pallante a full [Body]

Output: They offered Pallante a full scholarship and had Williams as a backup but he chose ND. Maybe there weren't any other sleeper DEs that they liked in the class. I doubt that they just didn't consider backup options.

Output: Why would you buy gold?


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] Surely what you mean is that [Body]

Output: Surely what you mean is that you don't have any memories of buying a drink at Ricks until after you graduated?


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.

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


Input: [Date] 1 year 30 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 30 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 32 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 37 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 37 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 37 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 37 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.

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] 3 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Yeah the loss yesterday was tough to watch..but Ohio is playing for a #1 seed today so were still looking at a solid 3 seed. I have a feeling it will be against Ohio U. The selection commitee loves doing stuff like that. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Both look like great talents. I say make room for all of them. Wow two years ago we couldnt find a LB..now we have a chance to be stacked!! [Title]

Output: Both look like great


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Body] The main thing in this game is to just get out of there with a "W". I look for PSU to give us their best shot today. Burke an Hardaway will have to play well an I think we will be ok. An for some reason it seems on the road we jack up alot more 3's? Maybe its just me but it seems that way. Just run your sets an then we can all root for the Suckeyes to win..ughh!! [Title]

Output: The main thing in this game


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Body] Wow this is a great o-line class so far. The theme that I keep hearing is that they play with a nasty streak. I think ive read that about all the recent o-line commits. If your a top talent running back in the 2013 class why wouldnt you want to run behind the talent Hoke is bringing in. Hoke and his staff are doing a GREAT JOB on the recruiting trail!! [Title]

Output: Wow this is a great o-line


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] Beach Balls are definitely still bouncing around the stadium. I love it when a young kid gets ahold of one and spikes it right in some 60 year old womans face 2 rows down..awesome. [Title]

Output: Beach Balls are definitely


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] The 8-0 record in the whites is an interesting number. I love the maize but I also think we have wore them to much this year. I say white vs. Ohio an up that record to 9-0 in all white this year. [Title]

Output: The 8-0 record in the whites


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

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


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

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


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Title] I chuckled outl oud more than once [Body]

Output: Thanks for the lunchtime entertainment. I have to laugh about college football or I might remember what happened this season and start crying.

Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Title] Just a thought [Body]

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


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

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


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

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


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

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


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

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


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

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

Output: That's a clown question, bro ... [but I will admit it has crossed my mind a time or two ...]


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

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


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

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


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

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


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

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

Output: Having been involved in blogging, both personally and professionally, I know how hard it can be even when you love your subject. Your unique health situation adds another wrinkle. I appreciate what you do and the passion you bring to it. Thanks for bringing the joys, and disappontments, of this season to me through your writing.

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

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

Was there quanatative decline at the end of Carr with 2008 being destruction and now clear rebuilding back to the average UM #s and beyond? Be interesting to see what the typical range for the team has been the last ten years. Easy to request others do more work ...


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

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

Output: What about Cliff Stoudt?


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I don't understand the complaint [Body]

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


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

Output: If tl;dr means "too long didn't read" then how exactly do you know it isn't diary worthy? Do you get extra points for using internet slang even if it is nonsensical? Sorry it wasn't up to your obviously high standards ...


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Also keep in mind [Body]

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


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Here is hoping [Body]

Output: I am shouting for joy instead of spending the weekend explaining to my kids why it is wrong to say bad words and why they shouldn't be repeating them all day (like happened for Purdue and when the Bengals swept the Steelers last Sunday). A win tomorrow would make my year (yes, it has been one of those years for me). Winning and losing can be a close thing. If everything comes together Saturday who knows what can happen.


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

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


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

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


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

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


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Malzhan [Body]

Output: I was wondering if anyone else would come up with his name. He seems like a genius from an offensive standpoint. I recall a great article about him before the championshi[p game last year. My brother lives near Atlanta and with work he is often traveling into Alabama. He tells me that Auburn is really a town full of pretty mean, unfriendly types. Maybe Malzahn is the one who isnt interested in competing with Saban. I scrolled down a list of prospective head coaches (googled NCAA Football Coaches Salaries), his name sort of stuck out to me too. Outside of Saban, Habaugh and a couple of others that would seem to be untouchable, I'm not sure who they hire that would meet his description outside of Dan Mullen.


Input: [Date] 1 year 24 weeks ago [Title] Which Michigan shows up? [Body]

Output: If the effort is like one shown at Iowa the other day, Michigan is in for a very long night. I totally agree with the other posters that Stauskus and GR3 need to bring their A games. However, unlike the other recent Big 10 games, I somehow doubt Ohio puts Craft on Stauskus but perhaps they will. The locals will be fired up as always. I live in a burb outside Cbus and watch a lot of Big 10 games including Ohio. I thought they were toast a few weeks ago. I doubt Scott starts another game. He's played very well and shot much better coming off the bench. If the Wolverines play well, they should win this one. Just hope the effort is there....


Input: [Date] 1 year 37 weeks ago [Title] Why do you think Kerridge takes such a bad angle... [Body]

Output: to the guy he's supposed to put a hat on? (is that #44 who seemed to repeatedly bein the backfield last week?). it almost seems like the tight end may have been able to block that guy. REgardless, based on the tape, it looked like Kerridge should be blocking 44. Is it a lack of quickness on his part ? Thanks for this in depth post. It made me realize how bad the execution is and how could they could be if they just executed better. The way that play starts, it looked like it should have been a huge gainer if DG hands the ball off to FT and everyone pulls their weight.


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] Best wishes to you and your wife... [Body]

Output: I pray you and your family. Don't worry about the team; I think in spite of their troubles, they will be OK. Go Blue..


Input: [Date] 1 year 38 weeks ago [Title] Princeton Trio [Body]

Output: My first thought was that this would have been cool with Denard, Devin, and God love him, Tate Forcier. My nightmare is that Urban Meyer will put Kenny Guiton and Braxton Miller on the field at the same time....


Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Title] Schofield to LG [Body]

Output: I have wondered the same thing. Since Mags did a OK job at RT, why not move Schofield to LG? It seems like the coaches are totally against this.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Win against Penn St; take it EZ the rest of the way [Body]

Output: I agree with the comments that this team played tired at the end of the season. The B10 was a grind and likely wore them out. 4 games in 4 days won't improve matters. Of course, if M hadn't lost to IU, Wisky and PSU -- all games they should have won, they'd already have a #1 seed locked up (and an outright title). I think they should go all out on the PSU game and take it EZ afterward. How many Big East champs have grinded out a Big East title only to lose their first NC2A game?


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] One more thing on Columbus... [Body]

Output: It's about a 3 hour drive to AA on game day. It's pretty easy drive.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Living in Columbus as a Michigan fan ain't easy... [Body]

Output: A lot of posts talk about CBus been a "hole" but really it is a terrific place to live with the exception of some of the "Over the Top" fans. Most fans are pretty cool but some can be downright hateful.. My wife (who is a Michigan grad) refuses to wear Michigan gear around town. There are many Michigan fans here but if you are going to raise a family, you should expect a heavy dose of OSU banners, posters and ads in your kids' schools. OSU is everywhere here whether you like it or not. It gets really old at times to be honest. As far as places to live, depending on your tastes and finances, there are a lot of good schools and communities in the burbs. Upper Arlington and Bexley probably have the best public school systems but Hilliard (where I live), Dublin, Powell, Worthington, Westerville, Gahanna and Pickerington are all good too. Downtown Columbus has a lot of really good restaurants and a lot of really nice new housing if you like big city living. In the 20+ years I have lived here, it is amazing how much downtown has been transformed. It used to be a real dump. Clintonville is probably my favorite city neighborhood but if you live there, you have to send your kids to private schools; Columbus city Schools are awful. Marysville is a little futher out but it's pretty nice too. Also, New Albany and Lewis Center are also newer suburbs that are also very nice. I grew up north of Cincinnati which is not nearly as OSU oriented and a lot more pro sports oriented than is Cbus.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] Maize Rage is awesome... [Body]

Output: Great Job to day and all season! Wish the whole group could travel for the NCAA's. It makes a huge difference in this team.


Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Title] Players not lined up on the lane for 1 & 1... [Body]

Output: I really disliked pulling all of M's players off the foul lane in the last minute while the shooter is taking his 1 & 1. First, if he misses, there is a chance to get the rebound. Second, for the shooter, it just feels different not to have at least two players in there. Definitely should have won the B10. Wisky, PSU and today's game should all have been W's. The good news is that this team can and should keep on getting better. Go Blue


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Michigan's chances the rest of the way [Body]

Output: Last night definitely makes me wonder about the fight in this team. However, the home court advantage in the Big 10 is HUGE. It wouldn't surprise me to see them win all 6 of those remaining games. Like Izzo said after the game last night, MSU played their best game of the season and Michigan definitely played their worst. From what I've seen, Indiana is the best team in the conference. Two weeks ago, I would have said Michigan was right with them. Their 3 losses were at 3 of the toughest places to play period. Once games go to neutral sites for the Big 10 tourney and NCAA tourney, it will be interesting to see how they do.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Michigan just didnt show up [Body]

Output: Michigan just didnt show up to play tonight. They look like boys against men - no toughness. From the opening tipoff, they simply looked lackluster and not mentally ready to play. I'm not sure what they have to do to wake up GR3 but he is awful on the road. in their defense, the schedule has been brutal. They may be out of gas. Just need to return the favor come MSU's return visit to AA in March... Go Blue


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Title] John Cooper//WoJo article [Body]

Output: I live in Columbus area and while some liked John Cooper (BTW, he still lives here and is still involved in OSU functions), the fans and the media really disliked him. Every year, especially the last few, it was almost a given that no matter how good OSU was, Cooper would find a way to lose the game against M. As the saying goes," the saddest day in MIchigan FB history is the day Ohio State fired John Cooper." I commented on the DetNews website about the WoJo article. I think it is a bunch of crap and is very shallow and short term in its thinking. While I want M to kick the crap out of Ohio State this weekend, I realize they are heavy underdogs. But I also look at this team and think it has a great future. Leave RR alone to do the job he was hired to do.


Input: [Date] 4 years 39 weeks ago [Title] David Molk comments [Body]

Output: Wow -- The guy is so impressive. If they can just bottle his spirit and tie it into every player, this team would be undefeated. Let's hope he can light their fires with a win against Illinois. And not a shootout but a solid play in all phases of the game. Thanks for the posting and the video. Defintiely gives me hope for the Illinois game. I was also very happy to see RR reading the riot act to the defense the other night. It was about time as far as I was concerned. Sure the offense had a few plays they'd like back but they have so much pressure on them to score every time they touch the ball to overcome such a crappy defense.


Input: [Date] 4 years 43 weeks ago [Title] d rob [Body]

Output: I truly hope he gets all sorts of records and can stay healthy. He is so fun to watch and I love his demeanor. My concern is that he is getting ready to face Mich St, Penn State, Iowa, Wisconsin and O State, all of whom have much better defenses than the 5 teams we have faced so far. We can only hope he continues to do his magic...


Input: [Date] 4 years 46 weeks ago [Title] JMU win over Va Tech [Body]

Output: After two big wins and two not so exciting games coming up, hopefully the coaches can use the JMU upset as a teaching moment. Denard is so amazing but I also worry about the long term wear and tear on him. Hopefully UM can blow out the UMass, BG and IU in first half so we can see more of Tate and Devin in the coming weeks in the second halves so they too can get some live game reps. Nonetheless, I just can't get over Denard. He is Mr. Cool. He is so fun to watch.


Input: [Date] 4 years 47 weeks ago [Title] ND analysis [Body]

Output: Thanks for the feedback. Always good to get the feedback. Never been to ND Stadium. How much an impact might that be on the game?


Input: [Date] 4 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Tate's dad [Body]

Output: I'm just glad his dad is encouraging him to stay. I'm anxious to see TF play and see what improvements he's made in his game. There's no doubt about the quantum leap Denard has made in his game.


Input: [Date] 4 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Carvin Johnson [Body]

Output: I see he is out 3 - 6 weeks but does he just rest his knee or is there just PT involved to restrenghten the knee?


Input: [Date] 4 years 47 weeks ago [Title] #1 [Body]

Output: Guess I should prepped my comments a little better. Got completely torched myself on my comments. D Rob was spectacular and I hope he can stay healthly all season. My hope was for us to win the game and get off to a good start. The team certainly blew that goal away. JT definitely made at least one play of the game. My favorite was Denard's fake and 40+ yard pass play to Terrence Robinson. Guess Im just paranoid. Maybe I should change my screen name to Paranoid One? It just seems like Michigan is always losing key players to injuries.


Input: [Date] 4 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Happy camper [Body]

Output: Hey, I keep hoping this team overachieves -- the last couple of years suck.. BYM, I was very happy to see the win.

Output: yeah -- so big deal.


Input: [Date] 5 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Who Replaces Hopson & When? [Body]

Output: With the Hopson news a fwe days old now, I was wondering who the replacement might be given GR's history and background. Anyone have any ideas?


Input: [Date] 5 years 34 weeks ago [Title] Brandon Smith [Body]

Output: I liked him. did a good job on special teams; What is his reason for leaving?


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Chip Kelly -- Rich Rod connection [Body]

Output: I heard someone (Brent Musberger maybe?) talking about it a fwe weeks ago when the Quacks were playing someone else (SC?) he evidentally learned a lot from RR while he was still HC at New Hampshire. Living in a burb of Columbus, I cant wait to watch the Rose Bowl. It will be fun to watch all the OSU fans squirm against the Duck Spread. Personally, I am hoping and thinking Michigan's run game will get a whole lot better next year with another offseason of lifting and tutoring under Barwis. Jut would like to see them get some big name recruits signed.


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Warren & Smith [Body]

Output: Not surprised at all with Warren leaving. As much as I love M, he needs to leave and make his millions. Smith' ACL is a shining example of how fragile one's career can be. I was listening an NFL player on ESPN radio today (didn't catch the name) and he was saying he loved playing in college but by his senior year he was scared to death of an injury that would screw up his NFL career. I did wonder about Smith. He played pretty darn well against OSU and I recall him getting hit pretty hard and going out of the game. I was thinking he had the wind knocked out of him and would be back but I dont recall him returning. I know he isn't big, but I rally liked him and thought he was awfully tough kid. I just hope he rehabs and comes back as better as ever.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm from Millington [Body]

Output: I'm not saying that as a "how dare you offend me" comment. I'm saying that as a "really?? You're generalizing a community because you disagree with a journalist" comment. Your assessment of our community seems laughable to me. We are proud of our accomplishments, but rest assured, are well aware of our many short comings. Perhaps you are unaware of the awards status our school system just received. We are proud of that. We also acknowledge that we earned this due to slipping in prior years. We are a community that prides ourself on being hard working; not conceited. I would guess where you are from, but don't feel it is right to generalize a whole community based on an unintelligent blog post. While I'm at it. I'll take this opportunity to give credit to a great community in Ithaca. Their gesture for the family of one of our players was truly heart warming. Our fans also created an instant bond with them. It was a great show of small town class and pride.


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] Utah game [Body]

Output: I began to question him last year. I mean, You keep the Denard offense for Denard, but then see Devin run it better and make him run man ball. Then they fired Borgrs and I thought.... Eh. Maybe. Then the Notre Dane game was brutal I thought.... Oh well, maybe we will actually buckle down and not shrink from the hype of beating an overrated ND in September this year. Then Utah happened. I had no words. I've never been that sick over a sports team. I literally would have rather fucked a cheese grater.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 3 days ago [Title] This is the main reason [Body]

Output: I want new coaches. New AD, just new. In the last 7 years.... I met my Wife, got married, bought two houses, changed jobs, had two kids, and lost my best friend to cancer. All the while, the one constant leisure activity: Michigan Football..... Has gone to shit. I'm always gonna be a fan, but I'm tired. Tired of analyzing, agonizing, anticipating the season, following recruiting..... For what. This program is shit and doesn't deserve that much investment from me u til this university invests in the program Anything more than yep losses per year : you're fired Go longer than 3 years without a conference title: you're fired. We should be demanding that level of excellence.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 3 days ago [Title] This pisses me the fuck off [Body]

Output: We are now that fan base that bitches about getting the score run up on is?! That's pathetic. I'm way more concerned with the shit show we put in the field than the "class" of the opponent.

Output: He shouldn't be on the field. It's not his fault that we play nickel cover 4 all fucking game unless a team is already in field goal range though.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Title] O line [Body]

Output: Isn't good, but that D End was chipped to a knee, and there was an alley inside of him. Green has to make one cut and get 5 yards there


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I have thought about this [Body]

Output: A great deal off and on since year two of Rich Rod. Wether you supported or turned on either/both guys is irrelevant at this point. The point is, that a good portion of our fan base has supported both. They have called for consistency to not "start all over". I'm not saying that I have this all figured out, but I think we can learn from successful teams. When Rodriguez got here, we buried him before he started. I wanted him fired after year two, but even I didn't hate him when he took the job. Then, in year two/three, we had the whole stay/go argument. Now we are here with Hike, and have been since last Fall. My stance is this: The SEC, Texas, USC, and others have teams with short down periods and returns to the top ten because they do not accept losing. One losing season and you're gone. Mac Brown won a national title and was shown the door because 8-4 every year wasn't good enough. I know, "we are too good to be ess eee see". I agree, but our administration is too academic to ever let our institutional integrity fall like that. I'm saying, as a fan base, just vote with your wallet. Stop going, make them see a loss of money and set a win or else mentality.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Because [Body]

Output: The focus is on the QB. Obviously, when you don't block,run effectively, get open, or catch the ball..... The QB should still be perfect. Other positions are just arbitrary.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: You have a fan base that won't go away, and suffered through two losing seasons before rich rod was even on the hot seat. The AD is going to give you at least three years no matter what, and you still play 11 or 12 games per year against teams with less talent.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Anger [Body]

Output: I cannot contain my anger. I have zero expectations. I still will watch the score, and get pissed when we lose, but I'm not putting myself through this. I'll have 3 extra hunting hours on Saturdays I guess. I haven't missed a game since my high school playoff games made me miss them. I will miss at least the next two. Maybe more. It is unbelievable that it has come to this, but sitting in the stadium (down two scores to Utah) and hearing an enthusiastic announcer say the day's attendance was the last straw. This university does not care about football. The only thing that might change that is empty seats and lack of merchandise.

Input: [Date] 1 year 10 weeks ago [Title] Winnie Cooper [Body]

Output: No excuse why she would it be voted for. P.S. I've watched exactly one episode ever.....because I heard she was on it


Input: [Date] 1 year 12 weeks ago [Title] Well [Body]

Output: At the risk if sounding line captain hindsight. I've been right about every pick since I remember following the draft. I thought Rogers was an idiot who would be a waste and was pissed we didn't trek the betters player at that position. He was taken next by Houston-Andre Johnson I was meh on Roy, as I felt we shouldn't be taking another WR, but since Rogers is so terrible, we do still kinda need him. I completely list my shit with the Mike Williams pick. I'm not even gonna elaborate, but it was aweful. I wasn't thrilled with Ernie Simms, but had no issue since we didn't do anything asinine. Calvin Johnson was the pick that was actually a no brainier. I didn't care about our other rec. because they were aweful or gone, and Calvin was the Durant of this draft. That much better than everyone else. I hated Gohsder because we traded down to avoid taking future pro bowlers to pile up picks and get Gohsder. Wtf? Stafford I liked, pettigrew I hated because, who takes a right end with a first round pick when their defense is covered with needs, and yiur franchise qb could really use line help? Apparently us....twice I loved the Suh pick. That one was obvious at the time, but my most hated pick we've made this far was trading up and giving up picks on a deep draft to get.....Jahvid Best. I argued with everyone I know that this was stupid. Guess who's won a lot of beer from those arguments. Fairley I was critical of..... I may be proven wrong here, but I think the fact that any lineman who's played with Suh has been decent....I still say that pick was wasted. I thought the Reif pick was solid, and still do... We shall see. Ansah... Didn't like pick..still don't...see fairley explanation. Ebron??? I think this fits in with how much u hated the Rogers pick, and the Best pick, but with a player who isn't as bad.

Output: The whole show was entertaining. I've been a fan since the mid 80s and I've always loved watching wrestling. It is what it is. I loved seeing undertaker lose. I think the streak should have never existed. I was pulling for Batista to win and have the crowd go completely apeshit, but the Bryan win makes obvious sense, and gave most fans a cool moment.

Output: Who wins then watch. I never watch a game if I don't care who wins. I'm one of those weird people in today's society that thinks winning is the point if playing. I won't watch because I don't care who wins. Still a good season for us, but college sports end for me when Michigan. is done. If you choose to watch, great. I hope it's fun

Output: Preseason #7 Everyone says overrated Start 6-4 and go 0-3 in quality non con games Go on to win the big ten by 3 games and finish the season #7 Then make the elite 8 and be a bounce from the final four High standards lived up to. Realistic standards surpassed. Could get used to that. Go Blue

Output: I think the ideal number is either 6 (with two teams on a bye the first round) or 8 teams. I don't see them expanding it any further that that. 64 teams is just plain insane.

Input: [Date] 18 weeks 2 days ago [Title] i guess I'm the only one [Body]

Output: but I prefer Adidas, not just the color. I never understood the clamor for nike... For all the UNIFORMZ complainging they still looked better than that pro combat crap. To me it always seemed like People complained about something/things that were going to happen anyway... we were going to be bad in 2008/09/10 regardless of who our apparel contract was with, and we were going to get stupid special uniforms regardless of whether it was Adidas or Nike. As far as the UNIFORMZ go, I've always thought of Adidas as the lesser of two evils. I just feel like Adidas got the contract at the wrong time and have gotten a bad rap for it. Maybe I'm wrong, just one man's opinion. /soapbox rant

Output: He certainly wasn't the best Bond villain, but doesn't belong on this list in my opinion. Seriously I doubt anyone would be smiling much if caught in his position. The only issues I see with him as a Bond villain is that he has more of an air of desperation about him. Also his intimidation factor stems from nothing about him but the organization for which he works. He's not the scary boss of a multinational criminal organization, he's a broker for one.

Output: My parents enforced the no Oddjob rule when my brother and I would play. So I was always Trevelyan and he was Natalya or Xenia. Proximity mine matches were the shit


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] I'm fully aware that the [Body]

Output: I'm fully aware that the standards are different than those within the legal system, within that policy there is room for exactly the response outlined above. Suspend the guy from university grounds and functions until such time as he's proven to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. You can still work within the universities standards without jumping to expulsion immediately. "Students, faculty and staff found to be in violation of this policy will be subject to discipline up to and including termination, expulsion or other appropriate institutional sanctions; affiliates and program participants may be removed from University programs and/or prevented from returning to campus." It looks, however that in this case the student in question removed himself from the university making the argument moot with regards to this specific case. Had this been the actions of Stanford I would argue that the previously suggested response (suspend him then expell him pending a preponderance of evidence) is a far more appropriate response. Imagine a scenario wherein someone is falsely accused of rape; the standard response would be immediate expulsion without allowing due process.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] ok, so then he gets suspended [Body]

Output: Pending a trial where he ends up being found guilty. If he was caught red handed there ought to be enough evidence to prove his guilt and he would then be expelled- but after due process. That's how this is supposed to work.

Output: Yeah the loss yesterday was tough to watch..but Ohio is playing for a #1 seed today so were still looking at a solid 3 seed. I have a feeling it will be against Ohio U. The selection commitee loves doing stuff like that.

Output: Both look like great talents. I say make room for all of them. Wow two years ago we couldnt find a LB..now we have a chance to be stacked!!


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] The main thing in this game [Body]

Output: The main thing in this game is to just get out of there with a "W". I look for PSU to give us their best shot today. Burke an Hardaway will have to play well an I think we will be ok. An for some reason it seems on the road we jack up alot more 3's? Maybe its just me but it seems that way. Just run your sets an then we can all root for the Suckeyes to win..ughh!!


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Wow this is a great o-line [Body]

Output: Wow this is a great o-line class so far. The theme that I keep hearing is that they play with a nasty streak. I think ive read that about all the recent o-line commits. If your a top talent running back in the 2013 class why wouldnt you want to run behind the talent Hoke is bringing in. Hoke and his staff are doing a GREAT JOB on the recruiting trail!!

Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Title] The 8-0 record in the whites [Body]

Output: The 8-0 record in the whites is an interesting number. I love the maize but I also think we have wore them to much this year. I say white vs. Ohio an up that record to 9-0 in all white this year.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Didn't know that. [Body]

Output: Kozen was exactly the type of recruitment that I was talking about in my question. Not so much a "shaddy" recruitment, but one where the player seemed to 2nd guess his choice over and over.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Serious Question [Body]

Output: Has there ever been a player that had a "unique" recruitment (as in multiple commits/decommits) that has gone on to be a star player in college? I can't think of one and feel like most of the high profile players who go through lot's of "strange" happenings during recruitment end up just fizzling out.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Title] There are rumblings of a [Body]

Output: There are rumblings of a decommit happening on Twitter. A pay walked link from Sam and a bunch of responses to it. The players name in question is on a visit to Louisville and if I had to compare his name to a snack it would be Reese's peanut butter cups. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Title] What the hell? [Body]

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Went IOE and wouldn't change [Body]

Output: Went IOE and wouldn't change a thing. Most of my good friends in the major are at major consulting firms. I get to travel a bunch and am making over $100k at 25. Honestly, I'm very happy with how things worked out but had to just my ass and network like hell to get here. I just feel like IOE from michigan opens a lot of doors if you take advantage.

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I honestly wish I had more of a unique name... [Body]

Output: I have just about one of the most basic guy names of the last 20 years, but wish it were more unique. Think about when you meet someone with a cool name (not an absurd one) - you instantly remember that person. I feel like this could really be benificial throughout life - having poeple immediately remember you from a first introduction. Names like Fletcher, Cortland, Bo - all good in my book.

Output: According to Gary Battle, while at a local restaurant that Friday night with assistants Bacari Alexander and LeVall Jordan, Alexander leaned over and noted, "There's no chance Tyus will ever pick Michigan. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong... but wasn't there a rumor that Bacardi's mouth has gotten him into some hot water before (specifically with Jaylen Brown)? Maybe he should think twice and speak once from now on.

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Too good not to share again. [Body]

Output: Nick's grandparents bought him a sandbox and told him he could take it with him anywhere he would like to play. However, Nick was playing in the sand box when his parents told him that he could only play in the sandbox if it is located in his own yard. Little Jimmy was from very, very, far away and his parents were way cooler than Nick's parents, so they allowed him to take his sandbox anywhere he would like to play so long as he was invited there. So, Jimmy set his sandbox up (by invitation) across the street from Nick's house. Nick was not very happy about this because Jimmy was actually pretty cool and some of the local kids were more interested in Jimmy than they were in Nick. So, Nick had a bit of a temper tantrum and pitched a fit. Jimmy saw Nick pitch the fit and decided to totally fuck with him by inviting everyone from all over to bring their sandboxes to his house back home. Jimmy also said that "Kids" who weren't allowed to bring their sandboxes could use his. The End.

Input: [Date] 14 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] To the OP, I really don't [Body]

Output: To the OP, I really don't like the southerners vs northerners thing. I just don't see cultural rivalries being a good thing. I just think that it would be a cool cultural clash and in no way meant this in a negative way. I grew up in the Mid Atlantic region, went to Michigan, and now live in the deep South. I just find the traditions and practices of each region to be cool in their own way. Imagine the Big House scattered with some southern girls in dresses and cowboy boots!


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 10 hours ago [Title] In a perfect world, yes! [Body]

Output: I would love for our WRs to become great. But I would think that would be harder to do with a coaching carousel. Additionally, I feel like WR is one of those positions where a kid can just have "it" and you know that their skills will likely transition well to the college game. Think Treadwell, Speedy Noil, Diggs... all kids that you could tell would likely be very good in College.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 10 hours ago [Title] Almost definitely told to leave it out... [Body]

Output: There is no way that question get's asked and you forget about the "accused" rape incident. All politics asside, that would be an event that I would NEVER forget if I were a kid.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 10 hours ago [Title] I like Jedd [Body]

Output: I like Jedd and his brunt personality. Everything I've seen from interviews makes it seem likes he's a straight shooter. Now I have no idea how good of a coach he is, but he's had a lot of them even at the highest level. I just wonder how long he is going to stay around. I would think that it has the potential to hurt WR recruiting, knowing that Jedd has never stayed in one place for too long. I seem to remember even Brian mentioning that this is likely a stepping stone for Jedd during the coaching interview. Because damn... we need some quality WRs to get on board.


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

Output: DeMatha, Good Counsel, and (recently) Bullis are all strong prep schools that put out D1 prospects every year in MD. Nice to start a pipeline there. EDIT: They are all very strong academic schools too. I knew kids from each who went on to Ivy's.

Output: Brady Hoke is a great man by all accounts, but was in over his head here at UofM. So he's taking a tour across the country and learning from a wide veriety of coaching philosiphies. Good for him. It would have been just as easy for the man, who was fired from his DREAM JOB, to lay low for a while and not do anything to better himself. This constant making fun of OUR previous coach who's a true Michigan Man through and through needs to stop.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Two major things from this article.. [Body]

Output: Wilkinson is the coach at Cocoa High School in Florida, a talent hotbed that includes Ohio State 2017 oral commitment Bruce Judson, a top-20 player in his class. Dean had a second opinion from noted sports surgeon Dr. James Andrews. Wilkinson said Andrews' opinion was that Dean needed continued rehab on his knee and should be ready to resume full activities this summer. I would assume this turns Bruce Judson off quite a bit. And sure looks like you're lying when arguably the best knee surgeon in the world says he should be good to go by summer.

Output: Had a friend in college get an MIP and Drunken Disorderly... this was his punishment. Unfortunately for him, he didn't have a car on campus either, so many times he had to ride his bike over somewhere near State Street (I believe) to get breathalyzed. Twice a day.


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 30 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: It is also important to have

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. [Title]

Input: [Date] 7 hours 12 min ago [Body] From my methodology. I've been checking on the prices daily and keeping a running average of the lowest prices. The "dip" is the lowest price I saw over that time. These are all over a week. If you're buying at the dip (I don't know what they call it in stock markets because I grew up in a commodities home) you watch the price for awhile and when you see someone offer one substantially lower than the going rate you jump on it. This happens because people of differing personalities get into the market. There are people trying to make a buck, and then there's a bunch of people who don't want to set it at the bottom but use the current market to set their price. And then every so often there's someone who's like "okay I'll just make mine 3% lower than the lowest" because he/she's impatient and just wants to sell the damn thing. However these will move so fast they're impossible to get in a high-volume market. So sometimes the best thing to do is just go in there and buy your dang ticket at the current market price because tomorrow it'll be higher, and by the time the next dip comes along it might not dip to the market price now. [Title]

Output: From my methodology. I've


Input: [Date] 8 hours 41 min ago [Body] I thought he did well with his trades this year. Every GM makes some head-scratchers (Fister trade was his) but other than that big one, Dom's biggest flaw was not being able to find good relievers, which is like firing a recruiting coordinator for not being able to find kickers. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 day 2 hours ago [Body] Brian's building a scary defense too. A decent nose and Zettel and Collins are both single-blocked, with Ngakoue and Biegel coming around the edges. Wartman-White is the best of the MLBs, and he's got two great man-press corners to make an evil blitzing 4-3 under work. The only weakness is the slot, but he's got two safeties, a WLB, and a nickel pick left to address it. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 day 4 hours ago [Body] Yeah I'm not catching Schnepp on the DL because he burned his Rnd 2, Rnd 3 and Rnd 10 picks to get A+, A, and B+ guys for 3/4 positions. If he gets a good nose tackle that's a VERY good defensive line. But see the whole board. I used those rounds to get Peppers, Clement, and Longa. There is no player in the conference who can change the look of a defense like Peppers. And Clement-Elliot is a Gordon-Abdullah redux, with a HUGE dropoff after them. This is why Adam's running game is a Northwestern guy who's splitting carries with two freshmen behind a disaster of a line. Meanwhile Spriggs is his only OL I'd trade for any of mine (and some guys still on the board are better), and Butt is his best receiver after he reached for Westercamp and took Pierson-El too high. Likewise Longa; the next WLB off the board was Joshua Perry. On the other hand there are good DL (Michigan's entire two-deep is still selectable, plus some returning starters from stiff defenses) nobody's going to pick for awhile because no-one wants to take the first B guy when there's four more just like him.

Input: [Date] 5 days 12 hours ago [Body] Plenty since: a) The sponsorship is for the length of the season. b) The extended segment was to introduce her as such. c) You have to be as entertaining on air as Liz Crowe or your introductory segment will be 2 minutes, and most of that Brian vamping while trying not to look annoyed. Seriously though I've been looking for the right sponsor for our Podcast for a long, long time, and when Liz left the beer company she was working for to break out as a consultant and real estate agent, I approached her specifically for this, and made the price a secondary concern because she's the right kind of sponsor. She is, like Harbaugh, herself at full volume all the time, and part of the fabric of the Ann Arbor and Michigan Athletics community. With most of the things I sell we're just helping them market their thing because we have the right audience to market their thing. But this is one of those things where it's more like the sponsor wanted to help us and can justify it if a handful of MGoBloggers use her as their real estate broker. The podcast is a marketable thing that a lot of our advertisers have been interested in; it's not like it took us this long to find a sponsor; it took us this long to find Liz. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 days 2 hours ago [Body] Brian used to go out there once a year around now for the alumni association's thing; I don't know if that event was discontinued or he just didn't get asked this year. We are doing other things with the alumni association (announcement to come). We also did an event with Todd Howard the night before the 2013 Northwestern (firedrill field goal) game that I put together. We had planned on doing that again, and had the venue chosen and everything, but Michigan was so unwatchable leading up to M00N that we canceled it. Maybe we'll do one after the season. Anyway if/when we do it'll be the second the Chicago Alumni Association Club asks us because they are an excellent group to work with. I think they're coming into town for Northwestern (homecoming) this year. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 week 9 hours ago [Body] One of the keys to all of this is Nebraska isn't leaving the Big Ten; everybody is joining the Big Ten, formerly known as the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives, so that for the sake of TV rights and whatnot all the powers are negotiating as one entity, and scheduling each other. I know it's a pipedream. What I don't want to see is the organic method of growing from a bunch of conferences into a league, because all that does incentivize the current conferences to snatch up any program bigger than a MAC school in a colonial land-grab, which is exactly how we found ourselves in a 7-team division with Maryland and Rutgers while Iowa and Wisconsin and Purdue come around less often than Utah. The conferences grew organically well enough when television was regional and limited to four networks, and declaring a national champion was just a nerdy postseason excercise between professions that have to pay half attention. Today conferences are billion dollar corporations with their television networks, yet theyr'e still functioning under a system that expects them to be faculty representatives from elitist, non-profit educational institutions. The NCAA had their chance to become a true regulatory body, but instead chose to act more like an industry trade organization*. The best thing for college football right now would be to acknowledge that the regional conferences that grew out of the 20th century are anachronisms worth preserving, like historic neighborhoods or whatever. Without that familiar structure the whole enterprise is at risk of becoming too desaturated, i.e. an NFL-lite, which is a crappier product fewer people will care about. When ESPN inevitably defaults on whichever round of promises it has to make to secure the TV rights to the last bastion of un-DVR'able entertainment, the BIG SIX or POWER SIX or whatever you want to term it will be in perfect position to cut Fox and Disney out of their revenue stream and make what they're making now by charging $5/month and selling ads themselves on a streaming college football channel. The Big Ten is just the body out of convenience; the organizing structure of any major conference is sufficient to expand to include the 60-64 schools that operate truly professional-level (i.e. highly profitable) football enterprises. Technically everyone joins the Big Ten, or joins a new conference that handles all the "conference" stuff for the group, and is such a tour de force in college athletics that the NCAA has to kowtow to it. I have no problem trying to fit Baylor and TCU into this (TT might be a stretch since their school's athletic budget is MAC-like despite the school's history). I only left them out because I thought a Texas-based mid-major conference would make for some rockin' good regional football. * Specifically, one for mid-19th century cotton growers [Title]
