Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] Worst post I've read on this site in a long time. "There is zero reason to move Jake Ryan to the interior." Says who? A guy who watched a bunch of film after the games were over? I'm sorry, but stuff like this really gets to me sometimes. I understand that some people get upset by "trust the coaches" type statements, but has it ever occurred to anybody out there that maybe they actually have information on Jake Ryan and the other linebackers that leads them to believe that they just might be more qualified to make a major decision like this than you are? Do you think they did this on a whim? I'm sure it took weeks and months to make these decisions. Also, questioning which coach coaches which position is old. Yeah, Manning never played CB, but he also never played RB or DL, two other positions he was previously slated to coach. I'm sure the coaches have some idea of what it takes to make such a move.

Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Body] I think your analysis of Toussaint is WAY WAY off on a few of those. I'm actually more annoyed than anything because now everybody out there is going to say "look, he has all these negative points, start Green!" Toussaint is by far our best back right now. The -3 for the Chesson crack back block play is silly to me. If you really watch what happens, Toussaint starts to cut inside as soon as he sees the guy blitzing outside of him. Immediately thereafter Chesson blocks him directly into Toussaint's feet. After watching it like 20 times, I think Toussaint did the right thing, assuming that Chesson wasn't going to knock the guy 5 yards back into him. The other negative to Toussaint on the long delayed draw is even more ridiculous. Toussaint is looking left the entire time, trying to sell that he's pass blocking a free guy coming from the left as a part of the protection. Once he actually gets the ball, his view of the right is even more obscurred. You seem to want him to be psychic and able to know that WRs and OL out 20-30 yards to his right have set up perfect blocking for him when he has absolutely no way to see this or know this whatsoever.

Input: [Date] 1 year 51 weeks ago [Body] I honestly don't even know how to respond to something like this. This is by far the worst Michigan site to post to for many topics. I mean, you yourself state that my story is interesting, but it's no longer worth reading because it uses the term a-hole? Does that actually have any effect on the content of my post whatsoever? I mean, honestly, the word that originally came to mind was asshole, so I used the friendlier version. Obviously, everybody out there from some 10 year old kid to some graduate of the 1948 class understand exactly what I'm saying without being horribly offended. I honestly couldn't care less about the points attached to my name on here. I'm only wasting the time to write this because I'm not the only person on this board who is just tired of half the posts on a given topic being about typos, incorrect grammar, and thread titles that aren't fully informative.

Input: [Date] 1 year 51 weeks ago [Body] This story still blows my mind to this day, and I have no reason to not believe it. I went to law school with this guy who was maybe the single nicest, most honest, and most friendly guy that ever lived. He was from a Utah and apparently grew up either in the town that Gee did or from a town very close thereto. Anyway, through some group or association or something he was involved in for law school (can't remember what it was) he was to attend a national conference held at THE Ohio State University. Having always grown up hearing about what a crazy success Gee was in his area, he decided to try and see if he could schedule a meeting with Gee based on the premise that they were from the same home town or area or whatever. Sure enough, after going through the proper channels, Gee agreed to meet with him. My friend shows up to meet Gee in his office. Right off the bat Gee starts going off about his Mormon faith and starts discussing it with my friend. My friend was embarassed as he had to awkwardly inform Gee that despite being from Mormon central he was in fact not Mormon. Gee cut off the interview and asked him to leave. Again, the guy who told this story was without exception the nicest and most honest person (and especially lawyer) that anyone has ever met. I believe him 100%. And with that, Gee is officially a giant prejudiced A-hole. His Catholic comments were also not a shock to me based on this interaction with my friend. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 5 days ago [Body] You can only have a certain number of players report for the start of Fall camp. You can then add more at a later date before the season starts (this is when non-preferred walk-ons usually join the team). This has been explained to us in relation to guys like Bell and Wilkins, who despite being scholarship players, were asked to not report to Fall camp because there were walk-ons who were more deserving and valuable to the team to be getting practice reps. These players of course saw the writing on the wall and left the program. There would be absolutely positively NO reason to let Hagerup attend Fall camp. He'd be a wasted spot if he can't play this season. After Fall camp, he can report like a walk-on and rejoin the team without penalty. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 1 week ago [Body] Dawson apparently ran his 40 in the 4.4 range when he reported, which is damn impressive for a 6'2 corner. He also reported times of 4.39 at two consecutive camps after his junior year, but there's little evidence those were laser-timed etc.,so take them with a grain of salt. Anyway, who knows if he'll ever play a meaningful down (because he's way behind technique-wise), but there's little doubting he has the athleticism to be something special if he can bring it all together.

Input: [Date] 2 years 3 weeks ago [Body] I wouldn't bet on ANY of these being up to date. Many of the freshmen heights/weights are IDENTICAL to the heights/weights listed for these same guys on recruiting websites as long as a year ago. IDENTICAL. In fact, the guys from The Opening that didn't enroll early - IDENTICAL. Also, many of the FR guys have done articles more recently where they claimed to be 15-20 lbs heavier than many of these. I doubt every kid lied and in turn every year old scouting report is right. Think about it. Almost every single height/weight for the veteran players are IDENTICAL to the height/weights listed on the spring roster. IDENTICAL. In other words, wait until fall practice. The "official" roster officially changed when the actual season started last year too. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] Wow, I've been reading this blog for about 4 years and I'm still not ready? What a waste of time... On an actual relevant note, you appear to have ignored the actual basis of my argument - that in the void of Terry Richardson playing for Michigan at 160 and not gaining a pound in the past year there is no way that Lewis would spur such doubt. Raymon Taylor reported to Michigan at 5'10 169 and .... oh hell, why am I arguing with somebody who wrote lololol in their response? I have better things to do. [Title]

Output: Wow, I've been reading this


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] I'm sorry, I don't agree with much of this at all. For being such an analytical guy you sure do put way too much stock in the fact that he attended Cass. What do the careers of 3 pervious players have to do with his ability to play? Nothing. Do you think OSU fans are lamenting Webb because he went to Cass? It's an illogical argument that tries to equate correlation with causation. Secondly, you make it sound like he's hopelessly small. He's measured in at 5'10 and 5'11 at various camps, depending on the camp. 5'11 is the average height of an NFL corner. He's about 160 right now with no evidence that he has lifted as he is skinny and just plain doesn't look like a guy who has lifted. Stribling is 6'2 and only 170, but it's assumed he'll gain weight, yet he appears to be just as skinny. Why is it likely that one will gain the weight and not the other? Because Terry Richardson didn't? Sorry, I think it's odd that one of our highest ranked recruits is treated as a meh recruit because of some guys with no actual input on his ability or potential.

Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Body] Well, on the other end of the spectrum, it appears that Rivals may end up being WAY off on their rankings of the 2012 class as it relates to Michigan and 3 stars. The 3 stars of interest with my notes included: Ben Braden - labeled "as talented as Lewan, if not moreso" by a scout team player. Mario Ojemudia - played as a 230 lb true freshman, touted as future star by some practice observers. Willie Henry - named the most impressive RS FR by numerous players, regardless of position. Chris Wormley - many think he would have been 2nd string as a true FR last year, many close to the program expect him to overtake Heitzman sooner than later this year. Future NFL level player. Devin Funchess - pretty obvious here. AJ Williams - pretty much a starter as a true freshman. Jehu Chesson - expected to be a huge contributor going forward. Was dinged in ratings for lack of speed...runs 10.7 in 100 meter dash. Does not compute... Jeremy Clark - named best RS FR by at least one player. Noted as great athlete with great size who REALLY hits people by practice observers. Matt Godin - many say that if Womrley had not recovered, you'd replace Wormley with Godin as the next player in line to eventually beat out Heitzman. Practice observers love the kid. Some will debate my "notes" on the players here, but I base these on pretty reliable sources (including player comments and coach comments as indicated). Also, being a good player or starter doesn't mean you shouldn't have been a 3 star still, I get that. Also, not all of these guys can start when they play similar positions etc. Finally, I understand that practice hype does not equal stardom, but it's probably going to more often than not with this staff. I'm merely pointing out that in a top 10 class the Rivals rankings included numerous 3 star players who were actually on top 100 lists of other sites, and these guys have all panned out well (as well as you can after just a year at least). In fact, the 3 stars from the class may outplay the 4 stars from the class eventually. That's a huge miss. I think the biggest problem schools like Michigan will face will be the inherent flaw in rankings - regional bias and inconsistency of rating criteria. Josh Helmholdt, a UM guy originally, is WAY too obsessed with a player's current size and skill set. This really hurts Midwest guys because they often have half the football exposure as southern kids and Cali kids etc. Coaches look for teachable athletes, not finished products. Helmholdt is yet to master this art. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Body] I actually totally agree with you that we need more OTs, but I think people are way too quick to slap "guard" on any guy that isn't 6'6 or bigger. Here are some actual heights from the NFL combine: 6'4 5/8 6'4 1/2 6'5 1/8 6'4 3/4 6'5 3/8 Those are the heights of every OT drafted this year in the top 3 rounds that wasn't a top ten pick. Not what you would expect if you follow recruiting, where every 6'5 and under guy is a presumed guard... [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Body] I'm not disagreeing at all. I hope we get to the point where we can redshirt every guy (well, not EVERY guy, but as many as possible) because an older more experienced player with similar talent is ahead of the guy redshirting. The best way I can summarize my overall feelings on redshirting most positions is to say: when is the last time an Alabama fan complained about a senior burning his redshirt? Probably not too recently. I mean, they lost something like 7 draftees off their defense prior to last season and they were once again the best defense in the country. That's when you know it doesn't matter. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Body] Yeah, but presumably the way Hoke is building the team he will have signed 2-3 guys at that position in the classes after the 4/5 star I mentioned and those guys will be the guys competing to be 2nd on the depth chart the next season. The problem we've had in recent memory is huge holes in recruiting classes where needs that had to be met were never met. That will not happen under Hoke because he seems to put an emphasis on taking exactly as many players as they need at each position. Hell, every time a player leaves at a particular position, the coaches seem to offer more players at that position until they get another one. This has happened numerous times the past couple years, and it makes your roster much more seamless. [Title]

Output: Yeah, but presumably the way


Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Body] Yeah, but it's much easier to say that after 2 coaching changes including a few recruiting classes (2005 and 2010) where half of the players were off the team by the end of their careers. My whole point is that the stability and approach of Hoke as a coach makes this really a non-issue. For one, Hoke seems to put more emphasis on recruiting X number of players to a certain spot in a given year over just recruiting whoever he can get or waiting on higher ranked prospects. Secondly, when he takes those players, they are often pretty darn good and dedicated to getting better. Also, these players actually improve over time and seem ready to play by their 2nd or 3rd year. Add all of this up and it doesn't really seem to matter all that much. In contrast, RR for instance had whole years where we took 1-2 OL or DT or signed 6 slot receivers etc. Eventually, it caught up with us. Look at the players Hoke has brought in just the last 2.5 classes. If you stack them up, it's a solid 2-3 deep just off 2.5 classes with every position covered. Huge difference. [Title]

Output: Yeah, but it's much easier to


Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Body] 1) How does losing a player that was 2nd on the depth chart not affect the 2-deep? (Robinson battled Wilson for the other starting safety spot the entire spring). 2) Why does everybody get so butt hurt by redshirts being burned for safeties/corners/linebackers etc? Does it really matter that much outside of the quarterback position? When you're recruiting and developing talent like we have the past few years, I guarantee 99% of these burnt red-shirts will have no effect on anything. Half the players will not be starters by the end of their careers (like Marvin Robinson), some of the rest will be stars and will potentially be ready to leave for the NFL after 4 years regardless of redshirting or not, and those players who you kinda wish had another year will probably just be replaced with a high 4-star/5 star player who everybody is eager to get on the field anyway. It's really not a big deal unless some crazy injury bug or attrition hits one position and you wish that one guy was still around, and even when that happens, there is no way anybody could have accounted for that happening when the decision is first made, so why have a mental breakdown based on hindsight?

Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Body] The reason that he will likely not pick Michigan is because we actually may be having a problem getting him an early enrollee spot. I know this sounds dumb, but this was supposedly the issue with Arnett last year too. Also, I'm not just totally pulling this out of my arse. This was my first thought after reading something Sam Webb put out on Scout, mainly that there was a non-shady something to work out kinda thing that was looking hard to work out, hence making Michigan almost a non-factor if this something working out doesn't get worked out. Only one other poster directly asked Webb if this was along the lines of the problem, yet among several dumb responses he totally ignored to add anything to this question. This seems more than likely then, and likely also eliminates USC as they recently lost a commit to not being able to take another early enrollee (and they only just recently realized this, so this happening to McQuay wouldn't be so hard to believe). Of course, people like myself wonder why seniors that aren't playing anymore count toward your numbers in some bizarre way around early enrolling time. Well, at least I think this is the case, based on comments made last year as mentioned above. Who knows, but this is a VERY likely reason, and Webb said this same reason may have eliminated other schools... [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] Is there a shred of evidence that Derrick Green actually plans to enroll early? I read this on a daily basis, yet all information points to this not being true. For instance, a recent mention of Green's recruitment said that his coach expected him to make his decision on signing day. That's not something an early enrollee does. I also have never read a reference from a pay-site mod discussing how his early enrollee status affects his recruitment, yet I see such articles in reference to McQuay often. I just get the feeling that this is not accurate information at this point in time. Please somebody correct me if I'm missing an unambigious quote from Green himself confirming that this will happen. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] I looked up if that 40 time was from the opening and I became even more convinced that this guy really does have elite speed. He finished 4th in the 40 at the entire event, an event featuring probably the best collection of talent of any camp/combine this year. It's amazing that we're about to go from over a decade of generally unathletic safeties (except for Stevie Brown, but that didn't work out as planned) to having two of the fastest guys at the position in the country. Dymonte Thomas has reported run hand-timed 4.3s this off-season, so it's probably pretty safe to assume he's also a sub 4.5 guy if timed electronically (I also have seen stories mentioning that he ran an NFL combine-style electronically timed 4.57 when he was only a sophomore, so even more reason to believe so). This isn't even mentioning that Wilson isn't a slouch speed-wise either. [Title]

Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Title] You just manipulated every [Body]

Output: You just manipulated every single fact to your liking. Hoke does not have control over a player being medically cleared to play. If they said he could play, it would be odd for Hoke to be criticized for having a different opinion. Hoke is not a doctor. There is no evidence that Hoke had any knowledge of a head injury. There's no reason to think he would have. What evidence do you have that Hoke had any idea that Morris may have been concussed? None. That's a fact. We're all replaying GIFs left and right to try and prove that Hoke should have known. That proves nothing. It's easy to watch a highlight 50 times from 6 different camera angles and then watch the players get addressed on the sidelines from numerous camera angles and assume that the coach should know more than the fan watching at home. In reality though, that makes no sense. He was coaching a football game. He wasn't performing a concussion test on the sideline. If his medical staff also wasn't, then how is that on Hoke? You and everybody else on here have attacked the man's integrity for no reason other than he didn't have all of the information at his disposal at one moment within a football game. Get over it. I wanted Morris pulled and Hoke fired well before any of that happened. The fact that it did happen doesn't make Hoke a bad guy, he's just a bad coach who got caught in an awful moment at just the right time for a media firestorm. Nothing more.

It pretty much implies several things that are not true by relying on tweets of media members who have taken every statement entirely out of context. This is easy to prove. I expect better than this. This whole thing is just Gibbons all over again. Laying in on a guy based on things totally out of his control, and then blaming him for not being in control of the situation he had no way to know he had to control. It's just dumb. Brady Hoke didn't knowingly play a concussed player. Why would anybody think he would? I'm embarrassed for you if you think anything about this was intentional or unethical. Seriously, spend 5 minutes thinking about the facts and realize this was nothing more thanan unfortunate and unpredictable set of circumstances.


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Title] This wouldn't make me angry [Body]

Output: This wouldn't make me angry if it weren't for the fact that I have literally never read a single quote from any of our coaches that disparaged a single player in an improper way. I have also never seen a single one of our coaches use an excuse that didn't relate to the youth on our team, and even when they say that they say it's no excuse and they have to get the players they have ready. Even using that excuse, I've never seen them blame a single loss on any mistake of any player. EVER. Seriously, listening to this guy is like listening to a politician who just lies without regret because he knows his supporters will blindly believe it, and then get away with it no matter how false he is proven to be. Sad thing about society today - facts don't matter, which bubble you live in does...


Input: [Date] 1 year 12 weeks ago [Title] How do I know that this [Body]

Output: How do I know that this probably is some ridiculous haphazard standard that should not be applied to these situations? Well, prior to being mandated to change the standard, nearly every single University that investigated and punished students for sexual assault used the highest possible standard of proof, and this was almost always a departure from the standard of proof required for lesser offenses. The fact that nearly every independent vote of people closer to the actual situations resulted in a different outcome than the federally mandated rule leads me to believe that the people best suited for deciding this disagree with the federal government on this one. Secondly, I fully understand the burden of proof in a civil trial. However, as pointed out above, the rules of evidence and procedures used in a civil trial are so far removed from that of the type of hearings we're discussing that comparing them seems pointless. For instance, it costs A LOT of time and money to sue somebody. You also usually only do it if the responsible party has money to win. You also have to factor in attorney fees, time, travel, the duration of the proceedings, etc. On the other hand, an alleged victim in one of these cases risks essentially nothing. It's a relatively short process. The alleged victim's name never gets out. She doesn't have to pay for anything, per se. I mean, it doesn't someone anything to make a false allegation it would seem. I'm sorry, I just find this crazy and ridiculous, personally.


Input: [Date] 1 year 12 weeks ago [Title] I really couldn't disagree [Body]

Output: I really couldn't disagree much more. It honestly doesn't matter to me what happens when a student cheats or is caught drinking in his dorm room. I don't care what standard of proof they use for these types of transgressions. They really are nothing like a sexual assault allegation. I keep posing this hypothetical and not a single person has ever responded. What would you think if the following occurred: Your son is dating a girl and has what he believes is consensual sex with the girl. Later, he finds out that she claimed it was not consensual, and he is under investigation. Being that he's honest, he admits to having intercourse with the girl because that is in fact what happened. There is no other credible evidence. It's his word against hers seeing as to how he admitted to having sex. Because of the circumstances and the preponderance of the evidence standard, your son faces a 50/50 chance of expulsion depending on how truthful he and the girl are determined to be. Would you want those odds for your son for something he swears he didn't do? I wouldn't. Sexual assault is simply not something a university can investigate. It also potentially forces the defendant to have to put statements on the record to defend himself, which could kill his case in a criminal trial. Doesn't really leave many options for the men accused of these assaults.


Input: [Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Title] "Emmert just said athletes [Body]

Output: "Emmert just said athletes shouldn't be able to capitalize on their own likenesses because of "competitive fairness." Yes. He really did." Ummmm, isn't he 100% right? If you allowed players to capitalize off of their likeness without restriction, then the entire college system would instantly be dead, and I mean DEAD. This seems pretty obvious. I know everybody likes to cry about a Minnesota wrestler or whatever not being allowed to pursue a music career, but in reality the problem stems from the fact that the second a star recruit steps foot on campus his likeness becomes worth whatever a booster wants to pay for it. Hey booster, wanna a photo of me for $1000? Why of course, young strapping man, that seems like fair market value for a photo of a guy who hasn't played a down of college football. How would you ever regulate that without just imposing the same types of restrictions? Honestly, I think bringing this up as if it is some kind of dumb argument from the NCAA reflects more poorly on the person calling it a poor argument than the person making the argument, in my opinion. If you think the whole system should be blown up, then I understand, but to act like this isn't a good argument is truly bizarre unless taken out of context entirely, as you and the original tweet managed to do.


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Title] Where exactly are you going [Body]

Output: Where exactly are you going with any of your arguments? Nothing you have said has been remotely related to reality. Please answer these questions. If you and another girl were both drunk, had what you believed to be consensual sex, and then to your surprise she accuses you of rape the next day, would you want your fate as a U of M student to be determined by a hearing where the only evidence is your word against hers, essentially? I'm not saying these are the exact facts of the Gibbons case, but seriously, think of what a terrible way to determine something so important. You seem to be downplaying being expelled from a major University like it's a traffic ticket. What world do you live in where a google search of a guy's name bringing up hundreds of articles claiming he may have raped somebody wouldn't harm his prospects of getting a job? Seriously, is it worth arguing this?

I'm sorry, but stuff like this really gets to me sometimes. I understand that some people get upset by "trust the coaches" type statements, but has it ever occurred to anybody out there that maybe they actually have information on Jake Ryan and the other linebackers that leads them to believe that they just might be more qualified to make a major decision like this than you are? Do you think they did this on a whim? I'm sure it took weeks and months to make these decisions. Also, questioning which coach coaches which position is old. Yeah, Manning never played CB, but he also never played RB or DL, two other positions he was previously slated to coach. I'm sure the coaches have some idea of what it takes to make such a move.

Output: I think your analysis of Toussaint is WAY WAY off on a few of those. I'm actually more annoyed than anything because now everybody out there is going to say "look, he has all these negative points, start Green!" Toussaint is by far our best back right now. The -3 for the Chesson crack back block play is silly to me. If you really watch what happens, Toussaint starts to cut inside as soon as he sees the guy blitzing outside of him. Immediately thereafter Chesson blocks him directly into Toussaint's feet. After watching it like 20 times, I think Toussaint did the right thing, assuming that Chesson wasn't going to knock the guy 5 yards back into him. The other negative to Toussaint on the long delayed draw is even more ridiculous. Toussaint is looking left the entire time, trying to sell that he's pass blocking a free guy coming from the left as a part of the protection. Once he actually gets the ball, his view of the right is even more obscurred. You seem to want him to be psychic and able to know that WRs and OL out 20-30 yards to his right have set up perfect blocking for him when he has absolutely no way to see this or know this whatsoever.

He was from a Utah and apparently grew up either in the town that Gee did or from a town very close thereto. Anyway, through some group or association or something he was involved in for law school (can't remember what it was) he was to attend a national conference held at THE Ohio State University. Having always grown up hearing about what a crazy success Gee was in his area, he decided to try and see if he could schedule a meeting with Gee based on the premise that they were from the same home town or area or whatever. Sure enough, after going through the proper channels, Gee agreed to meet with him. My friend shows up to meet Gee in his office. Right off the bat Gee starts going off about his Mormon faith and starts discussing it with my friend. My friend was embarassed as he had to awkwardly inform Gee that despite being from Mormon central he was in fact not Mormon. Gee cut off the interview and asked him to leave. Again, the guy who told this story was without exception the nicest and most honest person (and especially lawyer) that anyone has ever met. I believe him 100%. And with that, Gee is officially a giant prejudiced A-hole. His Catholic comments were also not a shock to me based on this interaction with my friend.


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 days ago [Title] Here is the explanation [Body]

Output: You can only have a certain number of players report for the start of Fall camp. You can then add more at a later date before the season starts (this is when non-preferred walk-ons usually join the team). This has been explained to us in relation to guys like Bell and Wilkins, who despite being scholarship players, were asked to not report to Fall camp because there were walk-ons who were more deserving and valuable to the team to be getting practice reps. These players of course saw the writing on the wall and left the program. There would be absolutely positively NO reason to let Hagerup attend Fall camp. He'd be a wasted spot if he can't play this season. After Fall camp, he can report like a walk-on and rejoin the team without penalty.


Input: [Date] 2 years 1 week ago [Title] Dawson apparently ran his 40 [Body]

Output: Dawson apparently ran his 40 in the 4.4 range when he reported, which is damn impressive for a 6'2 corner. He also reported times of 4.39 at two consecutive camps after his junior year, but there's little evidence those were laser-timed etc.,so take them with a grain of salt. Anyway, who knows if he'll ever play a meaningful down (because he's way behind technique-wise), but there's little doubting he has the athleticism to be something special if he can bring it all together.


Input: [Date] 2 years 1 week ago [Title] Please read this with the [Body]

Output: Please read this with the same skepticism that I did, but Sam Webb recently claimed that Hill was one of the incoming freshmen that prompted mention from the coaches for being unexpectedly huge and athletic when he reported. I can't find the post claiming this, but I'm pretty sure he tested/measured as follows: 6'2 260 lbs (!!!???) 4.6-4.7 40 range (!!!???) If these are actually true, the ceiling/excitement level may be altered slightly. However, I'll believe it when I see it. (btw, other guys mentioned as athletic freaks - Gedeon and Reon Dawson)


Input: [Date] 2 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Random update from myself - [Body]

Output: Random update from myself - just checked the Rivals profiles of 5 random recruits. All 5 were again, identical to the heights and weights listed here. This list does nothing by compile heights/weights from Rivals and ESPN. Don't get your panties all in a twist if a FR isn't the height/weight you wanted them to be.


Input: [Date] 2 years 3 weeks ago [Title] I wouldn't bet on ANY of [Body]

Output: I wouldn't bet on ANY of these being up to date. Many of the freshmen heights/weights are IDENTICAL to the heights/weights listed for these same guys on recruiting websites as long as a year ago. IDENTICAL. In fact, the guys from The Opening that didn't enroll early - IDENTICAL. Also, many of the FR guys have done articles more recently where they claimed to be 15-20 lbs heavier than many of these. I doubt every kid lied and in turn every year old scouting report is right. Think about it. Almost every single height/weight for the veteran players are IDENTICAL to the height/weights listed on the spring roster. IDENTICAL. In other words, wait until fall practice. The "official" roster officially changed when the actual season started last year too.


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] Wow, I've been reading this [Body]

Output: Wow, I've been reading this blog for about 4 years and I'm still not ready? What a waste of time... On an actual relevant note, you appear to have ignored the actual basis of my argument - that in the void of Terry Richardson playing for Michigan at 160 and not gaining a pound in the past year there is no way that Lewis would spur such doubt. Raymon Taylor reported to Michigan at 5'10 169 and .... oh hell, why am I arguing with somebody who wrote lololol in their response? I have better things to do.


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Title] I'm sorry, I don't agree with [Body]

Output: I'm sorry, I don't agree with much of this at all. For being such an analytical guy you sure do put way too much stock in the fact that he attended Cass. What do the careers of 3 pervious players have to do with his ability to play? Nothing. Do you think OSU fans are lamenting Webb because he went to Cass? It's an illogical argument that tries to equate correlation with causation. Secondly, you make it sound like he's hopelessly small. He's measured in at 5'10 and 5'11 at various camps, depending on the camp. 5'11 is the average height of an NFL corner. He's about 160 right now with no evidence that he has lifted as he is skinny and just plain doesn't look like a guy who has lifted. Stribling is 6'2 and only 170, but it's assumed he'll gain weight, yet he appears to be just as skinny. Why is it likely that one will gain the weight and not the other? Because Terry Richardson didn't? Sorry, I think it's odd that one of our highest ranked recruits is treated as a meh recruit because of some guys with no actual input on his ability or potential.


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Title] Well, on the other end of the [Body]

Output: Well, on the other end of the spectrum, it appears that Rivals may end up being WAY off on their rankings of the 2012 class as it relates to Michigan and 3 stars. The 3 stars of interest with my notes included: Ben Braden - labeled "as talented as Lewan, if not moreso" by a scout team player. Mario Ojemudia - played as a 230 lb true freshman, touted as future star by some practice observers. Willie Henry - named the most impressive RS FR by numerous players, regardless of position. Chris Wormley - many think he would have been 2nd string as a true FR last year, many close to the program expect him to overtake Heitzman sooner than later this year. Future NFL level player. Devin Funchess - pretty obvious here. AJ Williams - pretty much a starter as a true freshman. Jehu Chesson - expected to be a huge contributor going forward. Was dinged in ratings for lack of speed...runs 10.7 in 100 meter dash. Does not compute... Jeremy Clark - named best RS FR by at least one player. Noted as great athlete with great size who REALLY hits people by practice observers. Matt Godin - many say that if Womrley had not recovered, you'd replace Wormley with Godin as the next player in line to eventually beat out Heitzman. Practice observers love the kid. Some will debate my "notes" on the players here, but I base these on pretty reliable sources (including player comments and coach comments as indicated). Also, being a good player or starter doesn't mean you shouldn't have been a 3 star still, I get that. Also, not all of these guys can start when they play similar positions etc. Finally, I understand that practice hype does not equal stardom, but it's probably going to more often than not with this staff. I'm merely pointing out that in a top 10 class the Rivals rankings included numerous 3 star players who were actually on top 100 lists of other sites, and these guys have all panned out well (as well as you can after just a year at least). In fact, the 3 stars from the class may outplay the 4 stars from the class eventually. That's a huge miss. I think the biggest problem schools like Michigan will face will be the inherent flaw in rankings - regional bias and inconsistency of rating criteria. Josh Helmholdt, a UM guy originally, is WAY too obsessed with a player's current size and skill set. This really hurts Midwest guys because they often have half the football exposure as southern kids and Cali kids etc. Coaches look for teachable athletes, not finished products. Helmholdt is yet to master this art.


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Title] About to blow your mind... [Body]

Output: I actually totally agree with you that we need more OTs, but I think people are way too quick to slap "guard" on any guy that isn't 6'6 or bigger. Here are some actual heights from the NFL combine: 6'4 5/8 6'4 1/2 6'5 1/8 6'4 3/4 6'5 3/8 Those are the heights of every OT drafted this year in the top 3 rounds that wasn't a top ten pick. Not what you would expect if you follow recruiting, where every 6'5 and under guy is a presumed guard...


Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I'm not disagreeing at all. I [Body]

Output: I'm not disagreeing at all. I hope we get to the point where we can redshirt every guy (well, not EVERY guy, but as many as possible) because an older more experienced player with similar talent is ahead of the guy redshirting. The best way I can summarize my overall feelings on redshirting most positions is to say: when is the last time an Alabama fan complained about a senior burning his redshirt? Probably not too recently. I mean, they lost something like 7 draftees off their defense prior to last season and they were once again the best defense in the country. That's when you know it doesn't matter.


Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Yeah, but presumably the way [Body]

Output: Yeah, but presumably the way Hoke is building the team he will have signed 2-3 guys at that position in the classes after the 4/5 star I mentioned and those guys will be the guys competing to be 2nd on the depth chart the next season. The problem we've had in recent memory is huge holes in recruiting classes where needs that had to be met were never met. That will not happen under Hoke because he seems to put an emphasis on taking exactly as many players as they need at each position. Hell, every time a player leaves at a particular position, the coaches seem to offer more players at that position until they get another one. This has happened numerous times the past couple years, and it makes your roster much more seamless.


Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Yeah, but it's much easier to [Body]

Output: Yeah, but it's much easier to say that after 2 coaching changes including a few recruiting classes (2005 and 2010) where half of the players were off the team by the end of their careers. My whole point is that the stability and approach of Hoke as a coach makes this really a non-issue. For one, Hoke seems to put more emphasis on recruiting X number of players to a certain spot in a given year over just recruiting whoever he can get or waiting on higher ranked prospects. Secondly, when he takes those players, they are often pretty darn good and dedicated to getting better. Also, these players actually improve over time and seem ready to play by their 2nd or 3rd year. Add all of this up and it doesn't really seem to matter all that much. In contrast, RR for instance had whole years where we took 1-2 OL or DT or signed 6 slot receivers etc. Eventually, it caught up with us. Look at the players Hoke has brought in just the last 2.5 classes. If you stack them up, it's a solid 2-3 deep just off 2.5 classes with every position covered. Huge difference.


Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Two points: [Body]

Output: 1) How does losing a player that was 2nd on the depth chart not affect the 2-deep? (Robinson battled Wilson for the other starting safety spot the entire spring). 2) Why does everybody get so butt hurt by redshirts being burned for safeties/corners/linebackers etc? Does it really matter that much outside of the quarterback position? When you're recruiting and developing talent like we have the past few years, I guarantee 99% of these burnt red-shirts will have no effect on anything. Half the players will not be starters by the end of their careers (like Marvin Robinson), some of the rest will be stars and will potentially be ready to leave for the NFL after 4 years regardless of redshirting or not, and those players who you kinda wish had another year will probably just be replaced with a high 4-star/5 star player who everybody is eager to get on the field anyway. It's really not a big deal unless some crazy injury bug or attrition hits one position and you wish that one guy was still around, and even when that happens, there is no way anybody could have accounted for that happening when the decision is first made, so why have a mental breakdown based on hindsight?

Output: I would definitely go for it on 4th down before I punted...


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] The reason that he will [Body]

Output: The reason that he will likely not pick Michigan is because we actually may be having a problem getting him an early enrollee spot. I know this sounds dumb, but this was supposedly the issue with Arnett last year too. Also, I'm not just totally pulling this out of my arse. This was my first thought after reading something Sam Webb put out on Scout, mainly that there was a non-shady something to work out kinda thing that was looking hard to work out, hence making Michigan almost a non-factor if this something working out doesn't get worked out. Only one other poster directly asked Webb if this was along the lines of the problem, yet among several dumb responses he totally ignored to add anything to this question. This seems more than likely then, and likely also eliminates USC as they recently lost a commit to not being able to take another early enrollee (and they only just recently realized this, so this happening to McQuay wouldn't be so hard to believe). Of course, people like myself wonder why seniors that aren't playing anymore count toward your numbers in some bizarre way around early enrolling time. Well, at least I think this is the case, based on comments made last year as mentioned above. Who knows, but this is a VERY likely reason, and Webb said this same reason may have eliminated other schools...


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] Is there a shred of evidence [Body]

Output: Is there a shred of evidence that Derrick Green actually plans to enroll early? I read this on a daily basis, yet all information points to this not being true. For instance, a recent mention of Green's recruitment said that his coach expected him to make his decision on signing day. That's not something an early enrollee does. I also have never read a reference from a pay-site mod discussing how his early enrollee status affects his recruitment, yet I see such articles in reference to McQuay often. I just get the feeling that this is not accurate information at this point in time. Please somebody correct me if I'm missing an unambigious quote from Green himself confirming that this will happen.


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] I looked up if that 40 time [Body]

Output: I looked up if that 40 time was from the opening and I became even more convinced that this guy really does have elite speed. He finished 4th in the 40 at the entire event, an event featuring probably the best collection of talent of any camp/combine this year. It's amazing that we're about to go from over a decade of generally unathletic safeties (except for Stevie Brown, but that didn't work out as planned) to having two of the fastest guys at the position in the country. Dymonte Thomas has reported run hand-timed 4.3s this off-season, so it's probably pretty safe to assume he's also a sub 4.5 guy if timed electronically (I also have seen stories mentioning that he ran an NFL combine-style electronically timed 4.57 when he was only a sophomore, so even more reason to believe so). This isn't even mentioning that Wilson isn't a slouch speed-wise either.

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.

Output: 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.

Input: [Date] 3 days 12 hours ago [Title] One of the keys to all of [Body]

Output: 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

Output: I removed the section on relegation. These schools have long traditions against each other even if they were not competitive. I would hate to lose Indiana even for a year just for the sake of recognizing 1 or even 5 good years out of say Bowling Green. Rather I capped the conferences at 11 and left spots open for expansion. If the Big East wants to add Rutgers or the Pac Ten want to add Utah there's a mechanism, but that is their only expansion and it forces their teams to all play a 10th conference game instead of an out of conf opponent.

I think the deux ex machina was self-aware; the whole point is it's a game and meant to function as one. I'm 50% through Armada and I think Cline was so disappointed by people not understanding this that he's making it too obvious (or perhaps the entire point) in this book.


Input: [Date] 1 week 11 hours ago [Title] Yep. That's why I said "two [Body]

Output: Yep. That's why I said "two quarterbacks." I've really been trying to not complicate stuff.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] We never really figured that [Body]

Output: We never really figured that out. I went with "plays as they would on your team" because I think it's more interesting to draft system guys for a system and whatnot. But here in the early rounds it's just a grab for superstars because at the end of 2014 nobody's saying "well if Hackenberg played behind Brian's offensive line..."


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] They have had him for [Body]

Output: They have had him for awhile. He's a tight end. He's awful.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] But we've made that [Body]

Output: But we've made that explanation like 10 times in the last few years. In fact I think I started leading off these posts with "THIS IS NOT A FANTASTY DRAFT IT'S A BIG TEN PREVIEW" last year.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] Every fan of every team makes [Body]

Output: Every fan of every team makes all of these same statements about why their school is better, and totally clean too. Fact is the athletes are picking between heavens. Most campuses are beautiful. Most support staff are top notch. FBS coaches are among the top 200 in their profession. NFL talent comes out of so many schools that which coaches develop a position best has to mean less than what that individual player is made of (not that it doesn't matter, especially w/ quarterbacks). A little something extra makes a big difference because there isn't much difference between schools. As for fans, this site's existence when every other indie team site but 11 Warriors can't support even one blogging career speaks to something unique about Michigan fans' dedication. I have a hard time imagining there could ever be a Grantland for Just Clemson. Depending on what section you sit in though I'm sure you can encounter some pretty quiet old farts in Michigan Stadium. We even have a name for them: Blue hairs.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] Labels man. Ask yourself [Body]

Output: Labels man. Ask yourself this: what do you call a guy who took money from some school then signed with Michigan anyway? Think that never happened with someone on the roster right now? Cut every "cheater" who broke an NCAA rule and there won't be many athletes left. This is why I blame the NCAA first and foremost. Whenever you find a thriving black market for something there's always a shitty someone making the regular market not work.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] In certain cases it's pretty [Body]

Output: In certain cases it's pretty clear. This is one of those cases. Clemson is one of those schools. Be mad at Michigan for not playing the same game as everyone else or be mad at the players who take liquid love over a minor preference in school choice, or be mad at the NCAA which creates all this madness. Pretending it doesn't happen is just naivety for the sake of sanctimony.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] The charter schools are [Body]

Output: The charter schools are taking a few students. But the bigger effect is we built for a temporary population disruption. In the 1960s, 85% (that's ridiculously high) of Bloomfield Hills homes had school-age children. Today that's under 50%. Those numbers were repeated ad nauseum in the local paper/e-newsletter (Patch) during the merging of their high schools. Farmington won't be exactly like that--iBloomfield Hills was built almost entirely after the war and immediately filled with vets starting families, whereas Farmington was a thriving farming town for a century before it became a suburb. But that illustrates why, despite the population not being as hard hit as most of Michigan, these districts are still downsizing. A bit of school funding history: up until I was in college (and Engler was governor) your property taxes went right to the school district. Communities like Ann Arbor, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and Farmington voluntarily raised their property taxes to create elite schools. The rule itself though ultimately created an effect of really good schools in affluent areas and awful schools in poor areas, which isn't really fair considering the state should be providing a good education to all of its citizenry. So the state pooled everybody's property taxes into the state fund, shifted half of them to prisons, and doled out the rest evenly. In response these communities started passing regular bonds. Every few elections there's a bond issue on the ballot, everybody winks at each other, and we pass it, and that money can't be touched by the state. But it does raise the price of living here, because paying off the "bonds" is effectually a permanently increased property tax. It means if you're planning on sending your kid to private school, you can save money by buying a house in another suburb. School choice is a politically charged thing that affects everywhere because there are parents who prefer privitized institutions everywhere. I don't think it's a primary effect in this particular case because the #1 reason people live in Farmington in the first place is the public schools. West Bloomfield is right smack in between Farmington Hills and Bloomfield Hills, but WB has relatively crappy (read: "just pretty good") schools, and far lower taxes because they don't pass school bonds.


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] I'm not advocating. I'm [Body]

Output: I'm not advocating. I'm trying to explain what's going on in my community. We have half as many kids as when all four schools were built, and one routinely has the air conditioning break down and leaks all the time. We pay out the nose in taxes for school bonds to make sure our schools have a huge flow of money, but we've been falling behind Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills lately even though we all do the bond thing to pay for public schools that equate to private schools. That's because they've downsized. BH went to one high school. Birmingham renovated both schools and sold off a big chunk of Groves (my alma mater) to be a Michigan State satellite. The competition for young families in these burbs is fierce and school quality is #1 on the list. So that's why this is coming up. Like anywhere in the Midwest there are some poorer and some richer neighborhoods, but on the whole we're talking about a pretty affluent, education-obsessed suburban community that built for the baby boom and has been a bit oversized ever since that ended. There's a social component, since over time the schools have tended to become somewhat racially and economically segregated. When we do inevitably downsize to three schools, I imagine it will be a good opportunity to undo that.


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] I live in the Harrison [Body]

Output: I live in the Harrison district; most of the families in our neighborhood send their kids to North already. Harrison's football program is great, but you can move a football program pretty easily. As for a dilapitated building that looks more like a prison...


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] I couldn't take any more [Body]

Output: I couldn't take any more Buckeyes. All of our teams are going to have some of those stains on them--mine included--but at that point I needed to infuse the draft with some maize and blue, badly. Also keep in mind the people drafting have some access to practice reports, and lots of practice hearsay. Not saying practice equals game, but the more the coaches and other players keep telling friends, family, and anyone in earshot this guy is for real, the more I tend to believe it.


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] I picked up the look a little [Body]

Output: I picked up the look a little bit. In the future we will add the quick spreadsheet to show where the teams are at by the end of each round.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] When most of the games were [Body]

Output: When most of the games were at noon, and a few were still at 1? Hell no. I was a nice drunk like the rest of college students, but even I respected the "wait until you don't taste your toothpaste anymore before you have a beer" rule of morning drinking, and by the time the day was day enough to start imbibing you almost had time to finish two drinks before walking down to the stadium. The flasks (or in my case a bottle of coke that was 75% not coke) were the only way to get a buzz unless you were a truly committed drinker, and to be honest, we are all still University of Michigan students.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] It wasn't from 9/11. I think [Body]

Output: It wasn't from 9/11. I think 2004 they banned them. I remember a bunch of people sent in complaints (damn these people I thought at the time) after the 2003 Ohio State game. This one flag was pretty high up near the 35 yard line and was on a very long pole. I don't know why that game brought complaints--maybe the wind was up so the pole was being held lower than usual.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Toilet PaperGetting on TV [Body]

Output: Toilet Paper Getting on TV was still a relatively new experience, and affecting what so many people were watching was kind of a thrilling thing. You'd see the rolls of toilet paper flying down after the first touchdown of the game and think to your young self "wow it would be so cool to be the guy who threw the toilet paper roll." It really did look festive, like instant confetti or ticker tape. Anyway they stopped when I was 8 or 9 so I never got to throw a roll of TP. Marshmallows I was definitely around for this tradition. It was 99% college students being inebriated (sneaking alcohol or a joint into the stadium was pretty easy pre-9/11) and wanting to throw something harmless. A lot of the mallows went at other students--friends sitting a few rows down and a section over, or a group of girls you walked in with. But there was a mini-game of trying to disrupt the TV crews and the opposing band with them. You tried to aim it so your mallow would pass as close to in front of the camera as possible to screw up their shot, or once they started to bring clear plastic shields, you tried to thunk it off the shield or lob it over. Also by the late '90s the TV crews had these big sound-catching clear plastic radar/dome things, which were as tempting as an opponent's sousaphone. I don't recall there being any real point to the marshmallows. Just a bit of goofy gameday atmosphere.

Output: Nice top 3 ZRL mine would be the same. Still a shame about Bass. I am from Jackson and the entire community was so proud and excited for him. His younger brother is rumored to be leaving Lumen Christi Catholic and attending Jackson High next year. I have seen him play a couple times, not quite Antonio but only a sophomore. Will be interesting to see how he develops.

Input: [Date] 13 hours 46 min ago [Title] Mike Leach... [Body]

Output: gives no shits and loves to troll media morons.


Input: [Date] 13 hours 53 min ago [Title] Been there [Body]

Output: That upper deck has an ok veiw but the ramp getting up and down from there is just stupid. It's easily the worst walk as a sports fan I've made. The rest of the stadium is old and the non-crazy fans will openly admit it. I sat in the north endzone last year and it's messes with your mind that the rest of the stadium and that section are actually part of the same place.


Input: [Date] 13 hours 58 min ago [Title] Agreed [Body]

Output: A buddy and I went a few years ago and came away with the same opinon. It's like W. Layfayette high school donated their old bleachers for their visitor section. When I told the guys at our tailgate they laughed since my experience in 2010 was similar to theirs... in the 1980's.


Input: [Date] 2 days 16 hours ago [Title] Thats ESPN [Body]

Output: Thats pretty much how ESPN handles everything. It's the only reason why First Take is still on the air.


Input: [Date] 2 days 21 hours ago [Title] Don't care [Body]

Output: As a Michigan fan I don't give a shit on how other teams handle issues like this. I care about how Michigan handles their own business. It's not like this issue made anyone here change their mind regarding MSU.

Output: Don't worry about the source. They've gotten a lot better over the past couple of years and I love their Team Stream app.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 1 day ago [Title] This should happen more [Body]

Output: The media morons are comical and rarely offer anything other than the same generic questions three different ways, ask subjects they know the coach won't touch (ex. injuries) or in the case of "shock jock" sports shows (ex. Cowherd, Mike Valenti) just make noise. More coaches should go the route of Harbaugh today, Popovich at the half or Dantonios "next question" because many of the reporters deserve it.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Read about this [Body]

Output: There are articles about these rings and it said MSU puts the score of their second biggest win (after the bowl game) on their bowl rings. Their Rose Bowl ring celebrates the win over Ohio State in the B1G championship. Ohio State also does this and has the score of the Michigan v. OSU game from the 2008 season on their conference championship rings. I don't really read that much into it.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Man [Body]

Output: This whole Nike/Addias thing is beyond stupid. I hope Michigan wears friggn' Russell or Skechers just to screw with some of the zealots.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Harbaugh [Body]

Output: Where does he fit in based on your criteria of "class act" with some of his on field conduct?


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Title] "fans" [Body]

Output: Many fans have a difficult time with the fact the coaches of rival schools usually get along just fine. They have the best idea of what the other coach is going through with their own fans and rival fans spracking off.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Recruiting [Body]

Output: That's an easy one to get around since Michigan will be wearing Nike all the recruits in the country will want to play for Michigan! Nike solves all the ills of the football team and that extends to all other sports too! Because Nike! /S


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

Output: They also were without a top flight forward. You could argue the merits of Franzen but regardless of that his contract is equal to many very good players and in the salary cap era that was a hit too. Also they were out another high priced player in Weiss simply because he just doesn't seem to fit anywhere. The Wings have about $9 million tied up in those two players that combined played just two games in the playoffs (both Weiss of course) so if you could substitute them for at least one really good player it couldhave been a different story. It's all hypotheticals but I've thought about it since game 5.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Sorry [Body]

Output: I think we hear way too much about of a 26 year old, first year year postion coach who was hired on pure nepotisim. I cannot think of any other position coach that has ever garnered so much attention.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Title] haha! [Body]

Output: AZ is pretty much Oregon south in the Pac12 with 3 helmets, 3 jerseys and 3 sets of pants. RR also had the yellow jerseys are WV.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Title] 100% Correct [Body]

Output: I've read recently that Dantonio had direct talks with Nike about getting the green pants they first wore against Michigan for 2013 game in EL. Maybe Brady was indifferent (likely) or Brandon has more choices in uniform design (also likely).

Output: The license plate thing bothers you immensely. We know because you cannot shut up about it as if it's a legitimate problem under any circumstance.

Output: This happens when kids commit when they're juniors and sophmores.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Title] That's tough [Body]

Output: Both were at football games. In 2005 a group of Michigan students were hurling half full Absopure water bottles as well as batteries at the Notre Dame visitors section. For whatever reason the visitors were seated right next to the students in the north endzone, the following year they were not. The other was a Michigan and MSU fan having sex in the back of a Ford Edge on AA Golf and Outing. Techincally that wasn't at the game though since it was before so...


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] Thats my thinking too [Body]

Output: This is pretty weak in my veiw. College pranks are fine as long as they are relevant. Painting the spartan or diag the week of the Michigan and MSU in football or before a big basketball game is a lot different than in the middle of April.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Toronto has $ [Body]

Output: But that seems their best selling point since they might be headed to a full rebuild. I think Dion Phanuef has better chance of being a Red Wing than Babcock uprooting himself to Toronto. He and his family are pretty ingrained in the Plymouth/Northville community so it would have to be an unreal offer to get him to bolt.

Output: With the hand over the tip of the ball instead of the laces. It was interesting to see.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: Both were provided by dealers. Each truck had a dealer plate on the back so they were likely demos. I wouldn't be shocked if Harbuaghs F-150 has a dealer plate on it as well.

Output: Greg Robinson had a red Dodge Journey when he was here.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Dearborn [Body]

Output: Right now all F-150's are built in Dearborn until the other plant comes on-line in Kansas City. Only the HD Sierras and Silverados are built in Flint with the 1500's built in Ft. Wayne and Silao Mexico.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Same here [Body]

Output: There seems to be more of a M-Live element as well where many rational discussions are eschewed or ridiculed. I pretty much stick to the front page now a days and leave the board alone.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Block M [Body]

Output: I'm out on the football things from the 80's but I would fine with maize block M's for football acheviments on the blue part of the helmet and blue block M's for acedemic acheivments. It's a rip off of Georgia and their bones but I don't like the big helmet stickers on the Michigan helmet. If you have a helmet like Ohio State, FSU or even MSU it's one thing but the Michigan helmet already is more complex than most.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 5 days ago [Title] God Bless Hunwick [Body]

Output: I miss that kid. Not shitting on the current goalies but that kid was a warrior every night and I think gave the d-men in front of him the confidence to cheat up a bit.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Cut blocks [Body]

Output: I think that is something that needs to be banned from use with O-linemen. In the open field it's a little different like with RB blocking for a QB but on the line its awful.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 1 day ago [Title] What a tool [Body]

Output: There are a number of real issues in regards to safety but up tempo offenses isn't one. I would say the length of the season is more of a threat than no huddle, up tempo schemes with both Ohio State and Oregon playing 15 games. As mentioned before, what about his scheme using massive linemen? How about sending your starting RB into the teeth of a defense 20 times per game, taking hits everytime? If he gets concerned about his players safety then use a time out. You get 6 per game Bret, use them. Adapt or die.

I don't think he would like if someone said "You can't trust the Mormons because they have multiple wives." Stereotyping people based on their religion isn't cool. And I dislike Notre Dame strongly but this is too far [Title]

I'm not a musician so I have to find bands that write and sing songs that I can relate to. They help express what I'm feeling. THE FAILURE was the same in a literary sense. Everything I've felt and thought about Brandon. However, one thing I would change. Change piece of shit to Assclown. He was the most pure Assclown I've ever seen.
