Input: [Date] 6 days 13 hours ago [Title] That video from 77 is [Body]

Output: That video from 77 is amazing. I envy anyone who got to experience THE GAME during the Ten Year War. So many times where both teams were ranked in the top 5 and battling for that Rose Bowl or no bowl. OSU marveled in dickish behavior like they do now (trying to rip down the banner, Woody taunting the crowd, Woody punching TV cameras, throwing sideline markers.) Give me a time machine and I'm going to that 77 game. I'd love to see what the campus was like before and after. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Output: Tennessee/Oklahoma?? And the winner getting an edge on the national title race? The Vols went 7-6 last year. I'm completely lost. Also questionable is Nebraska/Miami. 25 years ago, great. 2015, not so much. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 1 week 14 hours ago [Title] Going in knowing what we know [Body]

Output: Going in knowing what we know about Rudock is a little more comforting than the combo of Sheridan and Threet. But I'll knock on wood just in case. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 1 week 15 hours ago [Title] That was a good read. I'm [Body]

Output: That was a good read. I'm kind of disappointed that this is Harbaugh's first game. Even with the pieces Utah lost, it's going to be very difficult to win there. I'm not expecting us to be world beaters in year one but winning the first game to a hopeful start of a new era would feel pretty amazing.


Input: [Date] 1 week 15 hours ago [Title] I kind of agree but the [Body]

Output: I kind of agree but the original title of the book was, "The rise and fall of Michigan Football," which many found a little too depressing. Now that we have Hackett and Harbaugh, you can say "return" in regards to them. But I'm sure many others outside the program will find the title to be very Notre Dameish.


Input: [Date] 1 week 16 hours ago [Title] With "Three & Out," I read up [Body]

Output: With "Three & Out," I read up until the night before RichRod's first game but couldn't go any further and relive the countless horrors. So I mailed the book to my uncle in California. With this one, I'm going to read through the whole thing, because of the epic light at the end of the tunnel. Not just the hiring of Harbaugh but Dave Brandon's exit. Although, I'm still kind of in shock mode that Harbaugh is our head coach. I fear sometimes that I'm going to wake up and it's still the week following last year's Minnesota game.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] All of last season is a [Body]

Output: All of last season is a horrible blur of crap. I can't remember which day it was but Desmond said on Gameday that he went to the Michigan practices that week and didn't like what he saw. Something about Peppers looking like the only player that was putting any effort in.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] And the very next week, that [Body]

Output: And the very next week, that same Northwestern team lost 27-17 to a crappy 9 loss Iowa team, with a very less than impressive offensive display. This was a common trend during the Carr years. Teams would bring their absolute 'A' game against us and then absolutely sh*t the bed the next week against a crappy opponent.

Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Penn State is also [Body]

Output: Penn State is also wishy-washy when it comes to visiting bands. For the epic Judgment Day game in 97, they told us we couldn't bring the band. But they allowed us to bring the band in 99 and 01. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Obviously, I love reliving [Body]

Output: Obviously, I love reliving old games. That's my mantra. But even I have a little trouble watching that one. Yes, the comeback win was nice but that season was so horrific (the worst in the history of the program) and about 100 different winning streaks came to a violent end. Probably the most painful one being no bowl game for the first time in my lifetime. There was no slow decline. Everything got horrible instantly. It's just too painful to relive.

I feel that when I was 18 and most people I knew that were 18 were mature enough to make their own decisions and make them rationally. He backed off of something he committed to when there was no change from the other side. I'm not condoning blasting his name but don't be so quick to always give someone a pass because "he's 18".

Output: The problem with BB is the matchmaking. You get matched with mercenaries that have a similar VP to you but everybody always seems to be better. Defenses are much stronger than the troops in this game so it's impossible to beat any well set up base. At the very least they should make it that you drop in VP if you fail an attack. However, I do like it for the shorter upgrade times and being able to reuse troops.

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] I don't mind it, its just jabs from a rival. Its [Body]

Output: I don't mind it, its just jabs from a rival. Its to be expected. If the tables were turned we'd all be loving it.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] As an individual that shares your same stature I [Body]

Output: As an individual that shares your same stature I feel your pain.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I too have this shirt and wear it from time to [Body]

Output: I too have this shirt and wear it from time to time.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] You are correct that's what I was [Body]

Output: You are correct that's what I was saying.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] It might be history but history doesn't always [Body]

Output: It might be history but history doesn't always look good.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] And that's how I gotcha. [Body]

Output: And that's how I gotcha.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Why you gotta break balls? haha. I wouldn't be [Body]

Output: Why you gotta break balls? haha. I wouldn't be upset too once in a blue moon see the all Navy jerseys back.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I hear that you alone keep MDen in the [Body]

Output: I hear that you alone keep MDen in the black.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I could definitely meet in the middle on this. I [Body]

Output: I could definitely meet in the middle on this. I just don't want to go back to the orangish yellow.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] You're killing [Body]

Output: You're killing me.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I see what you did there, I liked [Body]

Output: I see what you did there, I liked it.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I completely agree with you on the football [Body]

Output: I completely agree with you on the football uniforms. I'll never agree with you on the maize though.


Input: [Date] 1 week 21 hours ago [Title] Is Cole for sure staying at [Body]

Output: Is Cole for sure staying at LT considering his height? I know he played exceptionally there last season considering he was a true freshman and undersized, but if Newsome or LTT really come on next year, the best line may have Cole on the interior with more tackle sized players outside.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] My reading of the situation [Body]

Output: My reading of the situation is the kid went and tried to hide it. He didn't tell the coaches he was going and told reporters not to let the info out. Similar to Pharaoh Brown visiting Oregon a few years ago without telling Hoke. I see nothing wrong with pulling a scholarship because of that, the commitment is a 2 way street.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Not sure why he couldn't stay [Body]

Output: Not sure why he couldn't stay on to graduate from Michigan then do the 5th year transfer without sitting out. Get the Michigan degree and another year of football if he thinks he's healthy enough.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I think it's an 11 year deal [Body]

Output: I think it's an 11 year deal with a 4 year option Michigan can exercise if they like. I've seen the 4 year option in a couple places and it seems that's the only way the 169 number makes sense when it's about 10 million per year.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] For anyone who wants to make [Body]

Output: For anyone who wants to make the best burger you've ever had at home, I suggest trying out a sous vide burger. Great guide on how to make it here and you don't need any special equipment to make it. Just a cooler, a zip lock bag, a thermometer and a really hot surface to sear it on(like a cast iron pan). You get a burger cooked all the way through exactly the temp you want it, a nice charred outside, and it's easy to make a lot the same temp without over cooking or constantly watching the grill.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Because it's not that good? [Body]

Output: Because it's not that good? Sure their burgers are greasy but the just don't have much flavor.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Title] One of my favorite lines from [Body]

Output: One of my favorite lines from The Wire, and very true.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Looks like you may be right. [Body]

Output: Looks like you may be right.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 1 day ago [Title] What has Morris done to even [Body]

Output: What has Morris done to even earn being called an okay QB? For someone whose biggest asset is his arm, any time he has tried to throw more than 10 yards down field the pass is either an interception or nearly an interception.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] The rule that doesn't exist? [Body]

Output: The rule that doesn't exist? It isn't actually a rule, similar to the idea of not ending a sentence with a preposition. http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/can-i-start-a-sentenc... http://grammarist.com/grammar/conjunctions-to-start-sentences/ The would of, could of, should of crap is really annoying, completely incorrect, and immediately makes me think of the writer as uneducated.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] After the word "would", using [Body]

Output: After the word "would", using "of" makes no sense. And what I don't get about Cook being projected as a 1st round pick is the fact that he has a 58% completion percentage, which definitely won't cut it in the NFL. I don't see how he's NFL starter material, at least not for a few years which would make him at 2nd or 3rd round pick up.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Not saying it will happen, [Body]

Output: Not saying it will happen, but Harbaugh has shown a willingness to switch QBs midseason and if he feels they provide an equal chance to win this year, he could switch Ruddock for Gentry or Morris.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] So how long until the [Body]

Output: So how long until the boosters get to this guy and pay hush money?


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm hoping the biggest [Body]

Output: I'm hoping the biggest improvement is the OL for Rudock. Iowa's OL was not good, if Drevno can get them to be above average the YPA should go up without any improvement from Rudock.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I don't think it will be [Body]

Output: I don't think it will be losing, but just look at SF where Smith was doing fine and he gets replaced by Kaepernick after going down with an injury for a game. Not saying it's going to happen, just that I wouldn't be surprised if someone overtakes Rudock during the season and starts. Unlikely for MSU, but the next few games would be a great time to get a new QB good experience. Ruddock can't be the future since he's only got a year, so if someone else is equal to him, it makes more sense to start them.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] The OL at Iowa was bad, [Body]

Output: The OL at Iowa was bad, similar to 2013 Michigan with 2 NFL players and others not very good at all. Which makes it all the more impressive.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Could definitely see him [Body]

Output: Could definitely see him losing the job midyear if Harbaugh thinks Gentry or Morris is the future.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] The drop in INTs from 13 to 5 [Body]

Output: The drop in INTs from 13 to 5 is a really nice improvement. He won't be a QB picking apart defenses and winning games on his own, but he should take care of the ball, and be as good as the OL and running game allows him to be. My biggest concern on offense is the WRs without any real threats.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Title] The Xavier Kelly recruitment [Body]

Output: The Xavier Kelly recruitment seems wierd. The three schools with crystal balls, Nebraska, MSU, and Oklahoma were all left off his top 8. Then since he released that list every pick has been Alabama. Is there actually news that he favors Alabama or is everyone just picking them because they are a good bet after suddenly showing up on the top 8?


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Title] That's my hope for him, a [Body]

Output: That's my hope for him, a Stevie Brown type role.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] Any reason her sister didn't [Body]

Output: Any reason her sister didn't follow her to Michigan?


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] Interesting, I thought MSU [Body]

Output: Interesting, I thought MSU and Nebraska were the major competition and they aren't on there. Unfortunately he just got a ton of people picking Alabama for him on 247 so that doesn't bode well.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Every major newspaper puts [Body]

Output: Every major newspaper puts unflattering stories below the fold or buried a few pages in. And it wouldn't be the first time that this blog has bumped an unpleasant story down with pictures of Denard or something.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Because the 247 composite [Body]

Output: Because the 247 composite rankings basically do all that, so it's repetetive. The major feature was averaging out all the sites to find a composite ranking instead of having to look at rivals, espn, scout, and 247. Might be nice to have a simpler version that just lists the recruits brought in from around the conference, kind of a B1G recruiting roundup once a month or so.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Our alumni do have more [Body]

Output: Our alumni do have more money, they also have better things to do with their lives than slip Benjamins to 19 year olds for playing football.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Title] He's saying we heard the same [Body]

Output: He's saying we heard the same about Auburn as Michigan, not as OSU.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Title] The scary lack of speed on [Body]

Output: The scary lack of speed on offense makes me hope we see some of our secondary players deployed as WRs on a few plays a game.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Realize that a lot of coaches [Body]

Output: Realize that a lot of coaches when they meet their wives are not raking in 6 figures. In their 20s, these guys are QC coaches or grad assistants. Or they are coaching at the HS level. They are lucky to be making 75k at that point. It's not until they reach the position coach at a power 5 school level that they break into 6 figures.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Isn't that the same thing [Body]

Output: Isn't that the same thing Harbaugh is doing?


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Title] You can downvote to cancel [Body]

Output: You can downvote to cancel out the upvote, I deserve it for the ugly formatting. It looked fine in preview then didn't work at all.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Thank you, total embed [Body]

Output: Thank you, total embed failure on my part.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Title] The best visit yet [Body]

Output: The best visit yet


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] Sad to hear that, goes [Body]

Output: Sad to hear that, goes against Harbaugh's mantra of loving to teach the game of football and the idea they work to optimize practice time. Hope this was just a case of the first time running a QB camp like this and being disorganized with so many guest QBs.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Title] What? Most recruits are [Body]

Output: What? Most recruits are rated by practice anyway. A lot of recruiting rankings are based on camp performances which are glorified practices, sometimes with little bearing on actual football games. Yes, some players are better in practice than games but there is nothing to indicate that the the current commits have a higher proportion of those types than any other class.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Why not both? Though I'm [Body]

Output: Why not both? Though I'm liking Peters a lot too.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Title] That's the exact right [Body]

Output: That's the exact right attitude to have and the reason Harbaugh is bringing in so many QBs. Even if you have a good QB, having others to keep them competing makes them better.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Just looked up fastest [Body]

Output: Just looked up fastest sprinting speeds and the record is Usain Bolt at 27.7 mph midway through his 100m dash. So hitting 6/7ths of that from a dead standstill is impressive. (Though there's no air resistance on a treadmill)


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I don't think they are [Body]

Output: I don't think they are conceding the state to OSU/MSU, but realize they are way behind with the kids there are don't think they have a good shot for 2016. Meyer was similarly much more nationally focused when he came in the first year and then got a lot more from Ohio the year after that. When you don't have the relationships the other local schools do you need to broaden your base because you will have a lower hit rate overall no matter where you recruit.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Title] It's all about relationships, [Body]

Output: It's all about relationships, MSU and ND have been recruiting Ohio for years and this Michigan staff has very little history there. Takes time to get going as recruitig has gotten earlier and earlier.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Title] And MSU has been recruiting [Body]

Output: And MSU has been recruiting Ohio for years and have longstanding relationships with these kids. Not to mention they go after the under the radar recruits that Harbaugh has been targeting so far. When you need to scramble to build relationships, time is better spent elsewhere for now. I'm sure they will do better there in coming years but their local focus is clearly aimed more at 2017 and future classes than 2016.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Something not brought up much [Body]

Output: Something not brought up much but its a high possibility is that a handful of these early commits won't stick. Some may jump up in ranking/have good senior seasons/perform well at local university camps and get noticed by major schools near them. If you grew up in Alabama and Auburn or Alabama come calling, it may be hard to turn them down. I wouldn't be surprised to see Michigan lose 3-5 of these guys by the signing day.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Title] They aren't giving up on [Body]

Output: They aren't giving up on Ohio, but Meyer has that state on lockdown right now. They are the dominant team in the state, just won a national championship, and have an ace recruiting staff. Additionally, Meyer has shown a passion for playing games with recruiting and seemingly going after kids just because rivals want them. Any commit from the state of Ohio is liable to be given a late offer by OSU if they miss out on someone else and likely flip. Ohio recruits will come in time, but it will take time to build relationships and get in on them early, something this staff doesn't have the luxury of in 2015.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Part of it is Michigan is [Body]

Output: Part of it is Michigan is very far behind the in state recruits and has needed to reach down a bit for players who don't have established relationships with local coaches. Easier to do that when you have a much wider base to recruit from. Look at Meyer's 2013 class of Ohio recruits (4 of the top 10) vs his 2014 class (6 of the top 10 including all 5 of the top 5). It takes some time to build relationships in new areas and Michigan is behind both MSU and OSU with these kids and they are better programs now. You can already see a lot more local kids with Michigan as their leader in 2016 where the staff is closer to starting at the same time as the other local programs. The satelite camps were a way to kick start Michigan's recruiting, find kids still early in the recruiting process, and build in roads for the future. But there should definitely be more local kids in future classes once the staff is established.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Sure Harbaugh uses TEs well, [Body]

Output: Sure Harbaugh uses TEs well, but ND does have a pretty damn good track record of very productive college TEs who go to the NFL.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] These kids may also have [Body]

Output: These kids may also have grown or developed more since their junior seasons. Kids grow a lot in HS, and it happens at different rates for different kids. These kids potentially look/play differently from their most recent HS tape which was 8 months ago.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I can never begrudge a player [Body]

Output: I can never begrudge a player taking an offer like Stanford or Harvard over Michigan. We claim to think education is important, can't reverse that when they choose an even more highly regarded educational institution.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] When has a team ever landed [Body]

Output: When has a team ever landed everyone they lead for? There are always recruits who change their minds or get squeezed out. And your thought that we would ever turn away Gary if he wanted to commit shows how stupid you and your crusade against the staffs recruiting is.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Any idea what's up with [Body]

Output: Any idea what's up with Donald Stewart? Seems to be trending away from Michigan after a Stanford offer.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Does Brady have grounds for a [Body]

Output: Does Brady have grounds for a multimillion dollar lawsuit against Goodell and the NFL? This whole thing has definitely damaged his reputation and hurt future earnings from endorsement deals. Not that he needs the money, but he could pledge to donate all of it to charity. Maybe a huge endowment for science education?


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] You sure you weren't looking [Body]

Output: You sure you weren't looking at houses in Iraq?


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

Output: IBIBD?


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] My bad, there are so many Ms [Body]

Output: My bad, there are so many Ms in the recent predictions, I thought there were more. Though in regards to Michigan recruits, Lorenz is one I trust more than others.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Lots of crystal balls came in [Body]

Output: Lots of crystal balls came in for Bush over the last hour.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Lorenz said that he dropped [Body]

Output: Lorenz said that he dropped from 29th to 31st within a few minutes of announcing his commitment. May have been because 247 reworked their OL rankings a bit today and it just updated.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Title] There are 3-4 known transfers [Body]

Output: There are 3-4 known transfers that haven't happened yet, plus an additional handful of RS juniors who may not be asked back for a 5th year. On top of that there are always additional transfers when a new coach comes in as people find themselves way down on the depth chart and sometimes passed by younger players. Also, not oversigning until they are actually signed, and if some of the commits blow up they may get interest from schools closer to home that they have always wanted to attend.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Very interesting to see and [Body]

Output: Very interesting to see and much more apt comparisons than using Meyer's start at OSU, a school that dominates it's state and had had a single bad season in the last decade.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Title] The only negative I've heard [Body]

Output: The only negative I've heard regarding DeWeaver is his ceiling isn't super high but he's pretty good now. Peters has more potential but is less polished currently. So it's a high floor/low ceiling vs a low floor/high ceiling. Will definitely be interesting to see but with so much uncertainty in QB development they may never play each other.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I don't know how that bodes [Body]

Output: I don't know how that bodes for him committing to Michigan 1 class behind Peters then. If he transfered because he didn't beat him out as a younger player I doubt he'd want to be 1 class behind him again.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Title] double post [Body]

Output: oops


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I can totally see Harbaugh [Body]

Output: I can totally see Harbaugh realizing that Dantonio's whole schtick is being the disrespected underdog and intentionally giving him tons of praise and absolutely nothing to take offense to just to rob him of that. Meanwhile doing his poke the bear routine with OSU.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I know more good players is [Body]

Output: I know more good players is always better, and a top 10 player would be great, but what does he add to the 2015-2016 team? With Walton at PG, Levert at SG and Spike backing them up in what is a pretty complex offense, how much would Murray add? Just seems like a great player at the wrong position for this team.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Yea, everyone was a bit [Body]

Output: Yea, everyone was a bit worried about the national focus of this class and the deemphasis on Michigan/Ohio, but it looks like it will work out and connections are being built with 2017 and 2018 recruits to keep the trend up.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 5 days ago [Title] How many overpriced food [Body]

Output: How many overpriced food trends can they pack into one product? Those bags are $5 a 100g serving because they waste money on things like grass fed beef which has no nutritional benefits and the taste difference is covered up by all the seasonings.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Would be really nice to get [Body]

Output: Would be really nice to get Jones out of Cali, looks like he's done great at camps this summer and is a fantastic athlete.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Amazing letter by a college [Body]

Output: Amazing letter by a college student that does a very good job of unintentionally making Seinfeld's point for him. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/anthony-berteaux/jerry-seinfeld-politcally...


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I've been thinking the same. [Body]

Output: I've been thinking the same. After all the hype and news from Alabama, Florida, Illinois and Pennsylvania, there has been almost nothing from Texas. Maybe there haven't been as many journalists there or once it's out of SEC country and the novelty has worn off it's not as big news.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 days ago [Title] The new auto play videos on [Body]

Output: The new auto play videos on 247 are really annoying. Nice to include highlight tapes on recruit pages but fuck auto play.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] I can't tell if this is real [Body]

Output: I can't tell if this is real or satire...I think it's real and if it is you certainly do live up to your perpetually agrieved moniker.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] Another factor not mentioned [Body]

Output: Another factor not mentioned in the replies above is the growth from when first rankings come out to final rankings, sometimes it's over 2 season of football which as anyone knows from seeing a college sophomore and then the same player as a senior can be a big difference.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] DJ is that you? [Body]

Output: DJ is that you?


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] As an OSU fan, how much does [Body]

Output: As an OSU fan, how much does it pain you to put Blue in your username? What do you mean worked for Mack? The kid was essentially committed to OSU already, considering he forwarded it to Smith. And I thought it was common knowledge that Hernandez was a person of interest in a shooting from 2007 in Florida.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] You mean promotional material [Body]

Output: You mean promotional material highlighed the good parts and left out the bad? What a shady practice. Do all OSU flyers mention that Meyer recruited Aaron Hernandez and that he likely murdered people while at Florida under Meyer?


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] They aren't new, OSU has been [Body]

Output: They aren't new, OSU has been doing them for a while and other schools too. Michigan has definitely stepped up it's game under Harbaugh in the recruiting mailer department. But a grown man acting like a teenager when he sees what another school sent a recuit? That's pure Ohio.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] Wait what? First I'm hearing [Body]

Output: Wait what? First I'm hearing about this, I don't follow any of them on twitter.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 22 hours ago [Title] Does anyone know what some of [Body]

Output: Does anyone know what some of the more level headed writers at 11warriors think of DJ Byrnes? The guy makes a fool out of himself with his taking issue with every percieved sleight against OSU.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 22 hours ago [Title] Thanks, yes I was refering to [Body]

Output: Thanks, yes I was refering to Hayes.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 23 hours ago [Title] He sounds like a player this [Body]

Output: He sounds like a player this staff could do well with if they are as good at turning athletes into football players as they believe they are.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 23 hours ago [Title] I have wondered the same [Body]

Output: I have wondered the same thing given the recruiting chops of coaches like Mattison and Durkins and I don't really have an answer. I don't think Zordich or Drevno were ever great recruiters and Wheatley was in the NFL. But people want to compare the recruiting of Harbuagh to Meyer's first years at OSU and Franklin's first years at PSU and they really aren't alike. Meyer was only out of CFB for 10 months and was still around the college game working for ESPN. Plus he benefitted hugely from the PSU scandal and got credit for kids who would have gone to OSU any other year but didn't due to Tressel and an incompetent interim staff. And Franklin never left college ball and could sell on the rebuilding of PSU that was only down due to scandal. Michigan has been in a slump for almost a decade and the kids being recruited were in elementary school in 2006.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Recruiting is heavily about [Body]

Output: Recruiting is heavily about relationships, and that is one of the reasons Harbaugh has struggled with the 2016 class. Many of these kids have known the other staffs for over a year and Michigan is just trying to establish relationships. And as much scouting as there is, there are only so many head coaches and schools you can get to know so it's best to prioritize big schools that produce a lot of talent. One of the nice things about these camps is it allows coaches to build these relationships for 2017 and 2018 and not just at 1 school but at an entire area. Even if they are shut down after this year, Michigan will have made a lot of headway into future classes and then results on the field should kick in.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Thanks, now I can watch it at [Body]

Output: Thanks, now I can watch it at 9 instead of waiting until 10:30.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Title] 247 lists almost every commit [Body]

Output: 247 lists almost every commit as a hard commit, it doesn't mean anything more than commit. Even Tony Butler who everyone thinks is either Michigan or OSU bound is listed as a hard commit to Pitt.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Not saying the guys who work [Body]

Output: Not saying the guys who work for Rivals, Scout, and 247Sports are better talent evaluators than college coaches but on average they tend to be right more than they are wrong. Multiple people have compared recruiting rankings to NFL draft rankings and have shown that 5 stars are more likely to succeed than 4 stars who are more likely to succeed than 3 stars and so on. It's not a sure thing and every fan base loves to think they have the under the radar 3 star who will be a 1st round draft pick but not all 3 star recruits can be that player. However, there are a lot of players who fall under the 3 star category. You have the guys with great technique who are limited athleticly and they might be solid college players but not NFL players. There are also the great athletes who have poor technique and need to be coached up. The latter seems to be what this staff is after and they are boom or bust types. If they get the technique and game knowledge they have the potential to at least b all B1G type players, or it might never click. It's easier to teach an athlete football than it is to teach athleticism, so I like the players this staff is after. In a lot of cases I'm sure the staff would prefer the 4& 5 stars who have both the athleticism and the technique, but those are much harder to get and there is a ton more competition which Michigan doesn't measure up to well to the OSUs and Alabamas in the recruiting world right now.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Can't speak for him but I [Body]

Output: Can't speak for him but I would say they are recruiting a lot of athletes who aren't as pollished as some of the highly rated recruits. Kids who have the abilities but not the technique to play and will need some work to develop. This staff is very confident in it's ability to teach football and turn athletes into football players so we shouldn't be concerned, but they likely won't be as highly rated.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Ross is actually a bit of an [Body]

Output: Ross is actually a bit of an exception to our recent LB recruiting. Hoke's staff definitely prioritized size/strength over speed and while it's not terrible, it isn't a great strategy for going up against spread offenses.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Title] He did just get a UM crystal [Body]

Output: He did just get a UM crystal ball from an OSU guy so it's a possibility.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It's only non-binding for the [Body]

Output: It's only non-binding for the student, allowing them to back out if the situation at the school they are committed to changes like a coach leaving or getting fired.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Thank you, glad someone [Body]

Output: Thank you, glad someone understands what I'm saying. This idea that we have already beaten MSU and tied OSU is absurd if you look at the state of the team and the last 7 years. I think Harbaugh has it in him, but it's by no means a sure thing.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Can we please stop talking [Body]

Output: Can we please stop talking like the tides have turned in the UM/MSU rivalry until the team has actually won something on the field? People were saying the same damn thing when Hoke was hired and we all know how that turned out. I'm not saying Harbaugh is Hoke or anything close, but its the same words.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Well, when we kept having [Body]

Output: Well, when we kept having disapointing season after disapointing season I never felt any recruit was safe. But if your team keeps winning, and meets or exceeds expectations almost every recruit will stick. Of course you loose some kids to the Alabama and OSUs of the world, but once you reach that level of on field results at a school like Michigan you shouldn't be losing those players anymore.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Title] The biggest hurdle is going [Body]

Output: The biggest hurdle is going to be the fact that recruiting is about developing relationships and most of the Michigan coaching staff is coming from the NFL. With recruiting starting earlier and earlier, this Michigan staff came in behind not just for the 2015 class, but also the 2016 class. Hopefully the summer camps across the country will help boost Michigan's standing with a few recruits who we haven't heard too much about yet as well as unearthing some under the radar type players you tend to find in camp settings.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Have you seen the QBs that [Body]

Output: Have you seen the QBs that Michigan has available to them this year? Outside of Morris who has yet to throw a TD in college and has a completion % under 50, no one has any experience at all besides Rudock, and experience counts for a ton at the QB spot. Even if Rudock can just replicate his stats at Iowa he blows every other QB out of the water.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Title] If Rudock is decent to good [Body]

Output: If Rudock is decent to good next year and leads Michigan to 10 wins, what will the Iowa fans think of their staff?


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Stupid rule change that just [Body]

Output: Stupid rule change that just adds complexity because they want more viewership for the commercials between TDs and the following possession. Should have just made a TD 7 points with the option to risk 1 for a shot at 2. Why does it seem when ever something needs to be changed, sports leagues never seem to make the right changes to fix the issue.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] He did say where he got the [Body]

Output: He did say where he got the info, he is a HS track coach in the same state as the player is. He could have put more info in the post about who Enis is but there were definitely a couple of posts last week about him earning an offer and people beign confused because he is another RB and a 3 star with meh offers. Clearly the kid is fast, how that translates to the football field is unknown, but if the staff has the ability to develop athletes into football players then this is a promising sign.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I can't remember his name, [Body]

Output: I can't remember his name, but there was a recruit who picked FSU over Michigan recently because they offered a criminal justice major that Michigan didn't.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I would think he could sue [Body]

Output: I would think he could sue the NFL because they wouldn't let him remove himself from the draft to get this sorted out. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to sue your multibillion dolar employer when they are the only company you can work for. Not letting him out of the draft potentially cost him millions in first round guarantees.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 6 days ago [Title] The way out will be painful [Body]

Output: The way out will be painful and extremely unpopular because the opponents will paint it as being anti-opportunity. The easiest way would be to simply take away the guarantee of repayment and allow student loan debt to be wiped out with bankruptcy. Lenders will become more selective and probably raise rates and fewer people will go to college.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It's a combination of the [Body]

Output: It's a combination of the two. The increase in the ease of getting student loans has given colleges the ability to raise tuition to ludicrous levels without anyone fighting back because they don't feel the sting until years later. The only people who it hurts as students are those from families that are very upper middle class who don't qualify for loans and pay everything out of pocke;t and no one feels any simpathy for them as evidenced by the recent Daily article by the kid from San Francisco. So schools increase their administration budgets and salaries and no one has spoken up enough to change it until recently. Will be a long road to trim these budgets as someone making a million a year is not going to voluntarily take a 50% pay cut.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I actually find them useful [Body]

Output: I actually find them useful as they tend to be more up to date than the favorite, warm, cool listings that the recruiting sites use themselves. They will never be 100% accurate but it gives a decent sense of where a recruit is looking and what teams are in the running. Even the best recruiting reporters aren't 100% right on where they think kids will go.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Seeing Furman drafted and [Body]

Output: Seeing Furman drafted and Rawls signing as an UDFA, does any other team have as many players who transfer out due to lack of playing time/production and end up in the NFL as Michigan? Edit: And congrats to Gardner on signing with the Patriots, hope they can be patient with him like they were with Edelman and he can become a productive WR.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Way too much time between [Body]

Output: Way too much time between picks filled with commentary I don't care about so I'll do other stuff and check in ever 30 minutes or so.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I'm sorry, but starting off a [Body]

Output: I'm sorry, but starting off a post by qualifying Brown as "one of the worst safeties in Michigan's History" is uncalled for. Everyone remembers Brown and his struggles, no need to lead off a post about good news for himthat way.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Only the actual NFL revenue, [Body]

Output: Only the actual NFL revenue, not the individual teams, and most of what the NFL brings in is distributed back to the teams.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Completely a PR move, that [Body]

Output: Completely a PR move, that does't hurt the NFL's income. When in the last decade has the NFL ever done anything that reduces revenue or given up a profit source?


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Speaking of Stubhub, does [Body]

Output: Speaking of Stubhub, does anyone know the best time to buy individual tickets on stubhub? I know prices will be higher this year than in years past, but supply seems pretty low right now. Will There be a lot more tickets posted when season tickets go out?


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] Wonder if Harbaugh could [Body]

Output: Wonder if Harbaugh could convince Tom Brady to come give a short QB clinic for a day.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] They can probably claim it [Body]

Output: They can probably claim it counts as breaking the rule already in place about not participating in camps more than 50 miles away.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I don't disagree with your [Body]

Output: I don't disagree with your last point, OSU was a team that peaked at the right time, with young players who improved and gelled as the season wore on and it wasn't until the last few games that everythig came together. Before then they were certainly beatable.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Title] It wasn't that the coaches [Body]

Output: It wasn't that the coaches couldn't figure out the defense, it was they hadn't prepped for it at all and it messed with the QBs reads. Only so much you can do at half time with a QB in his 2nd game. Later in the season, when the OL was better and the QB more experienced, they would have had more options to adjust to, especially in the running game, and a QB more comfortable with the offense.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I believe another team tried [Body]

Output: I believe another team tried the same things the next week and had 0 success. VT was successful because they were going against a RS freshman QB who was starting his 2nd game and hadn't practiced for what he saw.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Maybe it's just the fact that [Body]

Output: Maybe it's just the fact that he's another 6'10" unheralded white guy, but he reminds me of Doyle when he committed. Hopefully he can redshirt or only be needed for 5-10 minutes a game as a freshman behind Doyle, will be nice to have depth and upper classmen experience at the 5 again. Plus, that 7'2" wingspan is nice.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Title] One of the few NCAA loopholes [Body]

Output: One of the few NCAA loopholes that actually benefits the kids and they want to remove it because of a quality of life improvement for the guys making hundreds of thousands a year.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Ever since 247 came out with [Body]

Output: Ever since 247 came out with their composite rankings, I don't even look at the other recruiting site rankings.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Title] You can be such a buzzkill [Body]

Output: You can be such a buzzkill Magnus, but I do enjoy your scouting reports. Interesting that Drevno is going after a kid who is on the overrated side, but he must think he can fix the technique issues.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Over the last 4 years, [Body]

Output: Over the last 4 years, Michigan has shown they can win with freshmen and sophomore guards, but as this past season has shown, the same isn't true for centers(McGary is an exception but he's an elite talent). The big guys need more time to develop, grow into their bodies, and learn to play down low against the rest of the B1G. So Beilein has made it a point to not repeat what happened this season where he had too few good options at center. I would think more people would be happy about no true freshmen starting centers.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It's connected because it's [Body]

Output: It's connected because it's an example of the anti muslim discrimnation on campus that the person who speaks out against the movie mentioned, and she was the one who perpetrated it.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Maybe there's a balance [Body]

Output: Maybe there's a balance somewhere in the middle? Maybe men feel like they are under attack when someone claiming they raped them can destroy their lives even if there is no evidence because colleges use "preponderance of evidence" and don't allow any defence by accused students? Rape is a serious issue that needs to be adressed(on and off campus, though it's far worse in poor and minority communities than on campus), but exagerating it and labeling anyone who calls you on those exagerations a mysoginist or pro-rape is not conductive at all.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 1 day ago [Title] What's sad is while rape on [Body]

Output: What's sad is while rape on campus is certainly an issue, it's actually higher off of campuses. Women of the same age and socioeconomic bracket who aren't in college are more likely to be raped but no one is speaking up for them. And minority and poor women are at an even greater risk of rape but don't get the attention they deserve. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/388502/rape-epidemic-fiction-kevin...


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Title] What about Elmer and Reshke [Body]

Output: What about Elmer and Reshke in 2013,Bullough in 14, and Thompson in 15. In no way has Michigan dominated recruiting the state of Michigan in recent years.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Actually only 2 of the last 4 [Body]

Output: Actually only 2 of the last 4 years. And Michigan generally offers everyone in the top 5. People need to realize, Michigan has not gotten more than 50% of the in state kids they want, except for 2012 & 2013 when Hoke looked like a decent coach, in almost a decade.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Title] If you go back to 2008, only [Body]

Output: If you go back to 2008, only twice have we gotten the majority of the top 5 players in Michigan, and only two of the #1 recruits in the state. So over 8 years, Michigan has average1/4th of the best players in the state, and under 50% of the top 5 recruits. To me that isn't almost always getting the best in the state.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Would be nice. After Corely [Body]

Output: Would be nice. After Corely he's the recruit I want most in the state.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Title] The only ones they catch are [Body]

Output: The only ones they catch are the idiots who who fall for their undercover agents looking for people to commit crimes.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Title] You are dealing with masters [Body]

Output: You are dealing with masters of manipulation with years of experience versus 17 year old kids and parents who are doing this for the first time. It's hardly a level playing field and no one brings that up when considering why these kids sign with these coaches. These guys are paid millions of dollars in large part because of their ability to be shady salesmen who promise the world and don't have to deliver any of it.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Title] You mean since everything is [Body]

Output: You mean since everything is written by "perpetually agrieved" DJ Byrnes? The nice thing about Mgoblog is that even as the commenters on the forums have gone downhill as the site grew, they haven't hired any lower quality writers.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Only players this may affect [Body]

Output: Only players this may affect are other players at his school who are mentioned in this article. One is a top 20 2017 prospect already committed to them.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 8 min ago [Title] So glad I made the deal to [Body]

Output: So glad I made the deal to split the pot with the person in my office who would win if Duke won. I had Wisconsin but had little faith in them win it all, so either way I would end up with half the pot.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] I have Wisconsin, my boss has [Body]

Output: I have Wisconsin, my boss has Duke. One of us wins, and the other comes in 10th or so, so we decided to split it either way. Nice to not have to worry about the winner.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Guess Harbaugh is really [Body]

Output: Guess Harbaugh is really looking for a fullback.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Funny thing is, the walking [Body]

Output: Funny thing is, the walking on the road side of the sidewalk actually originated in the middle ages. Back then, men had nicer clothing than women and it was dirtier to walk on the building side because of things like chamber pot waste being tossed out of windows.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I just use more than twice as [Body]

Output: I just use more than twice as much as I layer it a couple times by hand and curse the cheap bastards.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Is it that hard to just stand [Body]

Output: Is it that hard to just stand on the right? I hate the inconsiderate assholes who have plenty of room to stand on the right but instead stand on the left and act oblivious to the 10 people behind them who they inconvenience. It's about courtesy, who gives a shit if you think they are a bunch of "type-A wonks", move the fuck over or I will call you out.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Definitely agree on 1&2, and [Body]

Output: Definitely agree on 1&2, and as a bit of a tangent to 2, I love to cook, and if I open up something like flour and I see it has bugs and I don't have any other flour, I'll just sift them out and use it. Won't serve it to anyone else out of respecting their wishes, but it's just extra protein.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 5 days ago [Title] VCU [Body]

Output: Ever since Beilein obliterated the VCU team in a game that many predicted would be an upset, I haven't been able to think too highly of Smart. That game was beautiful in the textbook dismantling of the press.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 5 days ago [Title] What do you mean depth being [Body]

Output: What do you mean depth being slowly constructed at the position? Michigan went from 3 scholarship QBs to 6 in 3 months, I'd say that's pretty damn fast.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 1 min ago [Title] I believe Meyer also wanted [Body]

Output: I believe Meyer also wanted to bring him to OSU previously and was turned down. Not this off season, and maybe not a DC position like he had at Florida but I believe he was offered a job.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] I would say Michigan needs to [Body]

Output: I would say Michigan needs to start landing more recruits in the 100-25 range, players who are good but not 1 and done types. Beilein runs a complicated system that freshmen tend to struggle with at first and isn't condusive to going pro after 1 year. But as we've seen with players like Stauskas and Burke, there's a pretty big payoff to staying 2 years and going through the program when you have the requisite work ethic and ability. I don't see any way that Michigan becomes a Kentucky or Duke, but being a team like MSU except with faster development seems like a nice ceiling, as long as the coaches can keep bringing in enough recruits for the early exits.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] This was what I was thinking [Body]

Output: This was what I was thinking when I heard the jerseys were going away. Maybe a patch for the season and then for homecoming they wear the jersey. Don't have to give them all out each year, but allows them to honor a few each year.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Someone better tell [Body]

Output: Someone better tell Costello's mom that the job is no longer available.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I feel like most if their [Body]

Output: I feel like most if their rational posters have left or given up, and the juvenile fans have the run of the place now. A bit of the same happened here with some of the original mgoblog posters quit as readership grew.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 3 days ago [Title] What's sad is it's one of [Body]

Output: What's sad is it's one of their main writers who posts them. After reading Brian's moniker for DJ Byrnes, perpetually aggrieved, I can't help but laugh every time I see a post of his about Michigan. The guy really does act like a child most of the time.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Do they make synthetic [Body]

Output: Do they make synthetic hamstrings they can replace his with?


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Looks like Harbaugh is going [Body]

Output: Looks like Harbaugh is going to take full advantage of this loophole while it exists. With Michigan suddenly setting up half a dozen camps around the country I can't imagine this will be allowed for long. The SEC/PAC12/Big12 are not going to like the idea of the teams from the talent poor states of the midwest coming and encroaching on their turf. Hopefully Michigan can build the relationships this year with the sophomores and freshmen to land a few after this is no longer allowed.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] That just gets clunky and [Body]

Output: That just gets clunky and over complicated. Does forcing teams to kick a 40 yard kick for 1 pt really excite people? Why not just make it automatic and get on with the game.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] It should be just worth 7 and [Body]

Output: It should be just worth 7 and you give up 1 point if you want to try for 2. The idea of moving it back to the 25 yard line and then declaring you are going for 2 and moving it back up to the 2.5 is such a clunky rule. Kickig from the 2.5 is essentially automatic and just an unecessary delay of the game. In the current state, after a TD I find something else to do for the next 5 minutes instead of watchig XP-->commercial-->kickoff-->commercial.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Yea, only reason I gave OSU a [Body]

Output: Yea, only reason I gave OSU a chance against VCU was because VCU didn't have any big starters, allowing OSU to play their small line up. Any other match up and I doubt they would have won.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Then wouldn't Michigan's 2012 [Body]

Output: Then wouldn't Michigan's 2012 team have been an NBA playoff team by that logic? 2 top 10 drafted players, 4 first total first rounders, a second rounder, and another potential top 10 draftee in Levert?


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I love the academic stuff, [Body]

Output: I love the academic stuff, seems Harbaugh wasn't lying when he made the comment about academics at Michigan and in addition to building up the football side of the program is also committed to building the academic side.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Of course, why didn't I think [Body]

Output: Of course, why didn't I think of it sooner, the dancing and having fun was the issue last year. It had nothing to do with poor coaching or only having 9 blockers, if he just hadn't been having a good time dancing when nothing was going on he could have been a superstar.


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 19 hours ago [Title] Sounds like you might be [Body]

Output: Sounds like you might be interested in the NBA.


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 3 days ago [Title] It has nothing to do with our [Body]

Output: It has nothing to do with our generation, listen to any politician or public person of any age issue an apology and it's hollow and no wrongdoing is admitted.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] I've oftened wondered what [Body]

Output: I've oftened wondered what there was to prevent paying players after they graduated, just wish I had thought to come up with charging a 9% fee on all money paid to the players.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Read over your first two [Body]

Output: Read over your first two sentences and ask yourself if you would use those words to describe Gardner if he were white. I'm tired of these stereotypical descriptors of players based on their skin color.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 5 days ago [Title] That works in pick up games [Body]

Output: That works in pick up games but in bounds plays are not just guys running around trying to get open. They are drawn up to get certain guys open in a good position. Think of it like a football play, the combination of routes may not make sense to the casual observer but in a smart offense they all serve a purpose in the overall design of the play.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] They are very different [Body]

Output: They are very different players though. If Williams can become a good blocker, he's essentially a 6th OL at his size. Neither Bunting nor Butt have the size to play that roll. If you want 2 recieving TEs on the field then hopefully Bunting passes WIlliams for that spot.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] I would guess it's the [Body]

Output: I would guess it's the ability to make the throws that are there and protect the ball. I get the feeling the offense will be very vanilla this year, lots of running to set up play action and methodical drives down the field. Need a QB who can make short passes to pick up first downs and keep the chains moving, not someone with a cannon who can throw 70 yards but also has a tendency to turf the ball. Malzone fits that mold best of the available QBs this, and is one of only 3 going through spring ball.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Just because Luck being great [Body]

Output: Just because Luck being great had nothing to do with bringing in 2 QBs a year, and Stanford hasn't had success outside of Luck at the QB position since 2008 does not mean the 2 QBs a year wasn't responsible for Stanford's wins. Bringing in a lot of QBs allowed Harbaugh to find one who could be great and given the quality of the QBs since Luck left he certainly would have brought in a lot more than Shaw has.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I have never understood the [Body]

Output: I have never understood the allure of hedgefunds. Their fees always sound absurd to me, things like 2% of managed funds plus 20% of profits. Even if they could outperform the market by 3% you would still lose money.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 1 day ago [Title] It definitely has, but they [Body]

Output: It definitely has, but they also haven't paid rent in 35 years. I figure taxes + upkeep equal out with rent, pluse there is $2200 a month in rental income from one floor(now that kids moved out), so I was considering it breaking even.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Did Shaw learn nothing from [Body]

Output: Did Shaw learn nothing from Harbaugh on the importance of having a lot of shots at a great QB?


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm not advocating frequent [Body]

Output: I'm not advocating frequent trading with your portfolio, but if you invest in a broad range of individual stocks with the intention of holding them for a long time, you should have greater annual returns than an index fund because you aren't charged any fees. Even if it's .5%, that can add up a lot over 20 years.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 2 days ago [Title] This is probably the best [Body]

Output: This is probably the best advice here for someone looking to start investing long term for retirement. I was recently looking at the growth of the S&P as well as the DJIA over the last 35 years(when my parents bought their house) and both have gone up about 20 fold, exactly the same as the house. I had gone into the research thinking the house would have had a greater return but it was pretty even. And the stock market is a lot less work than owning a house.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 2 days ago [Title] When you have more money, you [Body]

Output: When you have more money, you can buy multiple individual stocks to diversify as well instead of using mutual funds to do that. Even the lowest fee mutual funds take some cut so you are better off just owning the stocks themselves. You can certainly do just fine going index funds and mutual funds but will likely have a slightly lower return.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 2 days ago [Title] If you have a small amount of [Body]

Output: If you have a small amount of money to invest (under $100k), you want to diversify and mutual funds are probably the easiest way to do that. Individual stocks have too much risk and you don't really have enough money to buy multiple stocks without losing too much to transaction fees. Look for low fee mutual funds as fees can seriously eat into any returns. 1-2% may not seem like a ton but look at the difference in growth over a couple decades at 7% vs 5% and it really adds up.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I see white and gold when I [Body]

Output: I see white and gold when I look at both pictures, anyone saying blue and black is crazy.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Well you only listed 8 teams [Body]

Output: Well you only listed 8 teams ahead of Michigan, though I would add LSU, and potentially Georgia, Auburn and Oklahoma currently. Could change in a few years but those are teams that are either the top dog in their talent rich state for recruits or have been very successful over the last decade and proximity to good recruiting areas.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Maybe development is less [Body]

Output: Maybe development is less important to the top players considering they believe they are NBA ready and just need a place to play for a year? Beilein has yet to have a player go pro after their first year, and hasn't produced an NBA star yet either. Add in the dirtiness of basketball recruiting, the potential NIke/Adidas issue and the long history of success of Kentucky and Duke basketball who we seem to be going up against a lot for recruits and you have a recipe for a lot of recruiting struggles. I like that Beilein and co shoot for the stars recruitingwise, but they might be better served targeting the players in the 40-70 range instead of the top 40.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 6 days ago [Title] How did a kid with Dawkins' [Body]

Output: How did a kid with Dawkins' athletic ability who can clearly shoot the ball go so under the radar?


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Would be great for him to end [Body]

Output: Would be great for him to end up in NE but I don't think he has the mentality they look for in players.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Unfortunately that will [Body]

Output: Unfortunately that will likely be too late to have a big impact on 2016. These relationships develop early and Michigan is already behind most schools with established coaching staffs, esspecially with so many coaches from the NFL. I think this class may be a bit of a let down for fans based on expectation but 2017 will be much better. Similar to the 2013 class for Hoke, the second full class for Harbaugh will be great.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 4 days ago [Title] There's a huge gap between [Body]

Output: There's a huge gap between your definition of middle class and upper class. I know there are a lot of people with no savings in this country, but there are also a bunch who have some savings but aren't able to just stop working. If someone can stop working and have enough savings for a year, that doesn' t mean they are anywhere close to upper class. They clearly still need to work but can last a lot more than a month and keep paying their bills.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 4 days ago [Title] The original article lacked [Body]

Output: The original article lacked tact but it wasn't completely wrong. If you have a $2 million house and make $250,000, you are probably spending $70,000 a year on the mortgage, lose another $70,000 to taxes and then are paying the full cost of tuition for your kids because you get no financial aid. Clearly those are all choices and you can live in a cheaper house (though maybe not near where you can earn a $250,000 salary) and send your kid to a state school but in areas like SF and NYC that's not 'rich' money. Upper middle class sure, but not upper class.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Good to see a lot of the [Body]

Output: Good to see a lot of the Michigan recruits excited about Michigan again. Was a bit worried seeing all the top players in Michigan crystal balled to MSU, OSU, and other teams. Hopefully Harbaugh can land most of the top 7-8 guys in the state and keep OSU out. Don't have much hope for Hayes(who wants to leave the area) but Hill should be flippable if his brother likes the new staff, and not sure how the Weber situation will affect Onwenu.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Instead of starting a new [Body]

Output: Instead of starting a new thread I figure I'll ask this here. Is Michigan having a Junior Day this year? There tended to be a big visit day in February past years but I haven't heard much about that this year. Seems like a lot of recruits from the state of Michigan tonight for the MSU game but no other prospects.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 23 hours ago [Title] Solution to the walk on issue [Body]

Output: Solution to the walk on issue with scholarships could just be that players who leave before their eligibility is up can have their scholarship transfered to a walk on who has paid their way for at least 2 years. Might even leave more scholarshipsf or walk ons than the current system.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 6 days ago [Title] With temporary email sites so [Body]

Output: With temporary email sites so easy to use it's really not that hard.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] I can't wait to hear how [Body]

Output: I can't wait to hear how Saban justifies the NLI as being good for players and complaining that players don't want to sign it anymore.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] The thing about the Weber [Body]

Output: The thing about the Weber sittuation isn't that the coach left, but rather that the coach was on the phone with him until midnight before signing day trying to reasure him that he was making the right choice coming to play for him at OSU whie he knew he was leaving for another job the next day.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 1 day ago [Title] It's just a word. [Body]

Output: It's just a word.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I don't think the Florida DL [Body]

Output: I don't think the Florida DL coach who left announced it until signing day so the Texas coach couldn't take the job until then. Also could have been a stipulation of Texas to let the coach out of any buyouts only after signing day.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I don't think Florida wanted [Body]

Output: I don't think Florida wanted it out that their DL coach was leaving either. They have a recruit who is reconsidering after their staff shake ups as well.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] It is frowned upon to name [Body]

Output: It is frowned upon to name names before the players/school release it, but Hoke alluded to a couple OL who might have career ending injuries.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] One thing people don't seem [Body]

Output: One thing people don't seem to mention much is the unlevelness of the playing field between recruits/their families and the coaches. These coaches make millions of dollars in part because they are masters of manipulation and salesmanship. They are paid to convince families and 17 year olds, who have never gone through this process before, to sign with their school. Hopefully the HS coaches help their players out, but many of them also have aspirations of moving up to the college ranks and pushing a kid in one direction may help them land a job.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Yep, I started a thread [Body]

Output: Yep, I started a thread asking why any top level recruit would sign a LOI, especially after what has happened over the last 2 days with Florida, UCLA and now OSU. Why give up all your rights for very little in return. Almost no one won't save a spot for a top 100 player and you can enroll anyway without signing the LOI.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Agreed, anything that gives [Body]

Output: Agreed, anything that gives the coaches more control over the kids is going to be exploited. People need to stop looking at this as an agreement between 2 adults on equal footing. Coaches are very experienced at manipulating people and have a huge advantage when they are trying to convince a 17 year old kid.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Yes, it could be solved with [Body]

Output: Yes, it could be solved with rule changes but that's not going to happen any time soon so why not let the kids take it into their own control. And in terms of binding on both ends, what about when the coach leaves for another job, does his new coach have a right to not let him out of his LOI?


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I agree, but they also [Body]

Output: I agree, but they also shouldn't be forced to sit out a year if they transfer when coaches can bail anytime they want without major penalties.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] At some point you lose [Body]

Output: At some point you lose leverage in them holding your spot. No top 25 program will hold the spot for a 3 star they can replace by poaching from a MAC team. Top 100 was a guess at a ranking where recruits become a bit more replaceable. Obviously depends on how the coaches view the value of the player because they go by a lot other than the rankings.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Yes, this seems to be the [Body]

Output: Yes, this seems to be the best solution I have read to fix the oversigning issue. Completely turns around the concept of roster management from one where you want to cut dead weight to one where you want to keep as many guys around and make them contributors. I think you could go under 25 per year to something like 23 which would be 92 over 4 years. But teams like Alabama that have maybe 7 3year players per class and a lot who don't redshirt, you would hear Saban complain that this hurts the kids because fewer kids don't have the opportunity to get an esteemed Alabama degree. So it would probably stay at 25 which could actually level the playing field a bit when a lower level team could field 50 players who are 4th or 5th year players against a team like Alabama of mostly 2nd and 3rd year players, though it would also strain budgets of schools that struggle to support their athletic department.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Title] 18th. [Body]

Output: 18th.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Prior to last week, did the [Body]

Output: Prior to last week, did the NFL refs actually pull out a pressure gauge and test each ball the teams provided or did they just feel them and judge them to be ok? I can't imagine them spending the time before every single game to measure the exact pressure in each ball.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 2 days ago [Title] First time I've heard the not [Body]

Output: First time I've heard the not a hard worker about him. Any sources on that?


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] The 25 yard line change for [Body]

Output: The 25 yard line change for xp is a poor fix, it needlessly complicates the game. They should just eliminate the xp all together and make TDs worth 7 points. If you want to risk 1 point to go for 2 you can do that, but the xp is a total waste of time and not worth "making more interesting".


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Supposed to be flying into [Body]

Output: Supposed to be flying into NYC from Florida at 1 tomorrow, just as the blizzard warning goes into effect. Already switched from the 9 pm flight but I don't know if it will be enough.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Subs, lots of subs. [Body]

Output: Subs, lots of subs.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Don't worry, Michigan will [Body]

Output: Don't worry, Michigan will gradually improve over the season and then pull off a few upsets in the B1G tournament and make it in that way.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Tells the coaches but doesn't [Body]

Output: Tells the coaches but doesn't want it public.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I really hope Norfleet makes [Body]

Output: I really hope Norfleet makes a lot of people look silly with a competent special teams coach this season. The reason for optimism is probably because he was one of the only playmakers out there this year. Besides Funchess, no one was exciting to watch. Plus he was often at a disadvantage on returns considering he too often only had 9 blockers.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Is there actually a [Body]

Output: Is there actually a difference when you offer 4 year scholarships? Can't you still have your scholarship revoked for "violation of team rules" or be encouraged to move on to where you will get more playing time by people who are successful because they are very convincing with young adults?


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Not that it doesn't happen [Body]

Output: Not that it doesn't happen but the % reported as trafficked or enslaved is likely exagerated by cops and DAs who want money and headlines as well as by the women themselves who claim to be trafficked to get out of any penalty. The ones who are doing it against their will don't get the help they need because time is being wasted on thsoe who actually choose the line of work.
