Input: [Date] 21 weeks 1 day ago [Title] The 'certain definition of value' I referenced is [Body]

Output: The 'certain definition of value' I referenced is the one that you presuppose: the one that centers entirely on the guy running the site. A piece of recruiting info also carries value for (at least some) of the people who absorb it, whether or not they pay. It also carries some (possibly negative) value for the players/coaches/families from which it was extracted.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Under a certain definition of 'value', yes.Also, [Body]

Output: Under a certain definition of 'value', yes. Also, I'm not entirely convinced by my own argument, but I'm much less convinced by your fact/opinion distinction, either with respect to its logical structure or its application to statements about what recruits will do.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I dunno, man. I have a really hard time swallowing [Body]

Output: I dunno, man. I have a really hard time swallowing the notion of statements of fact about the world as property. Whatever the legal framework, items of prose seem to me to be qualitatively different from kernels of knowledge, and it seems to me that the latter can't properly 'belong' to anybody. Granted, there's a collective action problem here; if everybody gets info for free, then nobody gets paid to collect it, and everybody gets less recruiting bits. But I feel confident in saying that the socially optimal level of recruit pestering is way lower than what goes on now.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I could be mistaken, but my [Body]

Output: I could be mistaken, but my impression of the twitterverse is that you could find a cure for cancer, and you'd still get a dozen people telling you that you're a vagina that rhymes with "punt". Which is not to say that York hasn't earned some vitriol.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Whatever. Facebook is rightly [Body]

Output: Whatever. Facebook is rightly horrified at Swift's suggestion: http://literallyunbelievable.org/


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Before or after the game? [Body]

Output: Before or after the game?


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 12 hours ago [Title] The success of autodidacts [Body]

Output: The success of autodidacts doesn't mean that schools are useless. And I think we may have to agree to disagree on the interpretation of my experience; in my view, there is vanishingly little danger here, and the use of (very modest) university resources to encourage students to be less shitty than I was at times in undergrad seems reasonable.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 12 hours ago [Title] So if I'm Roma, and I'm kind [Body]

Output: So if I'm Roma, and I'm kind of bummed out that my ethnic identity is used as a shorthand for fucking people over (an association that has been used as a pretext for my ancestors' systematic extermination at various points in history), I should realize that I'm part of the problem. Got it.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] The thing with a simple "be [Body]

Output: The thing with a simple "be considerate" message is that many people (and I would place my 20-year-old self firmly in this camp) have no idea that some of the things they're saying actually are deeply incosiderate. I would regularly call things retarded, and I would regularly admonish my friends to not be such fags when they wouldn't want to go out in the cold and such. I don't do this anymore, not because I'm such a better person now, but because I realize now that I was being demeaning and shitty.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] Self-control vs. understanding of context [Body]

Output: In requesting that people not say certain things because other people find them hurtful and demeaning, the university isn't providing a nudge to exercise self-control so much as it's letting people know that some of those things actually are hurtful and demeaning to others. I used to say a lot of things in friendly conversation that I now consider socially unacceptable and, with the exception of the occcasional slip up, rarely use. It's not because I'm so much more in possession of myself, but because I now realize in ways that I didn't before that I was kind of being an asshole.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] Free thought [Body]

Output: There is an enormous gap between 1) censoring ideas, and 2) requesting that people be civil to each other. The notion that my ability to formulate and openly argue for ideas is somehow compromised because Big Brother has asked that I not call anyone a fag is...not particularly compelling.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] An onerous task: don't be an asshole [Body]

Output: Belle Waring: "98% of what people angrily claim is “Political Correctness” is just manners. Politeness. If something I were saying at a dinner party offended another guest and my host explained why, I would stop saying that thing, in all likelihood. I myself used to call things “retarded” all the time when I was a kid, and I carried it into adulthood, and then people on the internet made it clear that they found this hurtful and demeaning, so I stopped. I explained to my children, I have a left-over bad habit in that I will occasionally call something retarded and it’s not an appropriate thing to say; will you please correct me when I do it? Thinking about what I wanted my children to say helped me here. Likewise, although I don’t know that I said anything particularly unpleasant about it ever, I was comparatively ignorant about issues facing trans people until some years back. Does this make me angry because the word “cisgender” exists now? No, because I’m not an asshole."


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I'd actually disagree about [Body]

Output: I'd actually disagree about Westwood village being awesome. It's kind of like a scaled-up South U, except with more douchebags in Maseratis and 50-year-olds with plastic faces. Other things of note: CTools is a lot better than UCLA's course computing website, and people get ticketed for jaywalking on campus all the time, which totally sucks. Let the negative recruiting commence!

Output: Burt and Ernie did MOP's Ante Up:


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 57 min ago [Title] As a current UCLA grad [Body]

Output: As a current UCLA grad student, that is absolutely true. I went to the Oregon game this year, and most of the stadium seemed to not completely realize that a football game was happening. The campus in general seems pretty detached from football. That said, the university is not without amenities...


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] Statistics [Body]

Output: Article is paywalled, but you can get the gist from the abstract: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pam.20287/abstract Auto insurance 'redlining' is an empirically verifiable thing. To your initial point: this isn't to say that insurance companies are extracting excess profits from people in affected neighborhoods. But it does demonstrate that a lot of (potential) drivers take a huge hit on premiums through no fault of their own.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] This raises an interesting [Body]

Output: This raises an interesting point over what counts as "political". I'm assuming that you're objecting to the comments on race and racism because they cross the no-politics line. But I'd argue that discussing the stability of Grosse Pointe's elite status without acknowledging that the form of segregation from which it draws its status represents one of the biggest moral failings of 20th Century America is, at the very least, a tad political.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Let's not drag Harbaugh into [Body]

Output: Let's not drag Harbaugh into this.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 6 days ago [Title] The point is that "grown men", as used in the [Body]

Output: The point is that "grown men", as used in the initial comment, refers to the stage of life development at which dudes are likely to be not so into being led around on a string. Yes, 22yos are often asked to bear tremendous military burdens, and we should all solemnly introduce this point in as many threads as possible. But the relevant sense of "grown men" has a lot more to do with not getting care packages from mom, making solo trips to Bed, Bath and Beyond, etc.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Solid pick up. His name was mentioned (maybe not [Body]

Output: Solid pick up. His name was mentioned (maybe not very seriously) as one of the possible candidates for the CMU head coaching job.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Seriously. Pretty much every response to a [Body]

Output: Seriously. Pretty much every response to a question about officiating has been “pssh, we sucked, what does it matter." well yeah, we weren't good, but that doesn't mean calls didn't make a difference.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 4 days ago [Title] You know what's weird? I know that they're [Body]

Output: You know what's weird? I know that they're synonymous, but I've never thought about that phrase being redundant before. I'm going to stick to either exact or same from now on.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 5 days ago [Title] How much of Oregon's current success is [Body]

Output: How much of Oregon's current success is attributable to him, and how much is Helfrich? I'm a bit worried about hiring an OC that's under an offensive head coach, just as I'd be a little worried about a DC under a defensive head coach (Narduzzi). Not saying that these guys aren't the reason for the success of their units, but we better be sure that they are before making them a head coach.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I think you misunderstood me then, because I [Body]

Output: I think you misunderstood me then, because I realize that it's not a real monopoly. My point is, people aren't going to switch from Michigan to another team. They have a monopoly on Michigan fans. Maybe it is a poor comparison, but I really believe that they feel they can do certain things because the fans can either deal with it, or not get Michigan football.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Same for me, actually. I'm not actively [Body]

Output: Same for me, actually. I'm not actively "boycotting" the program, but I also am choosing to not spend my money on it. I had a rare opportunity to come up for a game this year and I didn't. Mainly because I didn't have much desire to pay for what we have right now.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 days ago [Title] UM football is basically a monopoly, and it's [Body]

Output: UM football is basically a monopoly, and it's being run like one. Fans aren't going to go spend their money at MSU or Notre Dame, they only want Michigan. So why not raise prices and ruin the game day experience for some extra bucks...it's not like the fans can go anywhere else. Unless fans stop spending money and supporting the program, it will only continue. Yes, it's a bummer for players, but that seems to be the only way to get some type of message across.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I don't really see this as running a coach out. [Body]

Output: I don't really see this as running a coach out. Rich Rod, yes, that was a struggle for him from day one. Hoke, for the most part has had a ton of support and probably would have been here next year if this season wasn't an absolute disaster. But that's on him.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 5 days ago [Title] That's kind of how I feel about Hoke. Just because [Body]

Output: That's kind of how I feel about Hoke. Just because someone works hard and is a good person doesn't mean that they're untouchable. I wish it would have worked out differently for Devin, but at some point you might need to try something else.


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 22 hours ago [Title] Replied to the wrong post. [Body]

Output: I suck at using mobile devices


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 22 hours ago [Title] How does it work when a [Body]

Output: How does it work when a player is hurt like this in HS? Does the school pay for, or help pay for the surgery/rehab? If not, that's a huge financial burden for these families to have to deal with.


Input: [Date] 2 years 2 weeks ago [Title] I remember the depths of that coaching search when [Body]

Output: I remember the depths of that coaching search when Jim Grobe was starting to look appealing. Those were some dark days.

Output: What happens if another coach had that put into his contract? Never ending dollar raises?


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] So am I right in assuming [Body]

Output: So am I right in assuming that most people want the tradition of the #1 jersey to die? Or are most of you just upset with the way it is being handled as of late? I personally love it, and it never seemed to be a problem as far as promoting one player over any other before. I remember when Manningham was blowing up and everybody was calling for him to get the jersey. Is the change in opinion based off of the new coaching staff and their perceived emphasis on team over player? People keep talking about Bo and the whole "team" approach, but didn't he start the helmet stickers that Carr thought were too individualistic?


Input: [Date] 5 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Nothing easy! [Body]


Input: [Date] 5 years 6 weeks ago [Title] Am I the only person that [Body]

Output: Am I the only person that thinks that some variation of this should be the US Soccer logo? It would be ten times better than the lame shield we have now.

Output: I'm with you. I'd sneak up after that dude wanted to order with Denise and I would comfort Ms. Redhead.

Output: Although I agree with your post, I kind of upvoted you for your signature. I say "Au revoir, Shoshanna!" way too often in daily activities.

Output: I'm glad I'm not the only person that eats middle fingers. I get kind of sick from them too.

Output: I honestly thought that they were being invited to the FIBA championships based on the title of the thread. I thought it sounded like a cool idea, but alas, it was not to be.

Output: The interception touchdown for me. The big house was so dead that day, and from that play forward it was crazy.


Input: [Date] 5 years 19 weeks ago [Title] I agree. While it isn't very [Body]

Output: I agree. While it isn't very probable, Fitzgerald is the player that I am most excited to see this year. If his scenario comes true, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

Output: I guess you could say they were HANDED the spot.

Output: What is Kiprusoff doing out there? He's just flopping all over the place. Or was, I should say, before he took himself out.

Output: It's crazy that Vincent Smith


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I think BC should be higher on that list in reality. I've lived around Boston for my entire life and have only known 2 non-alum BC fans. It's the combination of a lack of interest in college sports in the area and the fact that people really find BC to be arrogant and annoying. Maybe if they were successful it would be different but they're not. They caught lightning in a bottle with Doug Flutie in the 80's and haven't done anything since. They fired their most successful recent football coach for daring to interview with the NFL and fired their most successful basketball coach of all time for no apparant reason. They are just the worst. EDIT: I should also mention that if you do care about college sports in this area you were likely a Big East hoops fan and hold a grudge against BC for single-handidly starting its demise to go play schools below the Mason Dixon line. Did I mention I don't like BC? [Title]

Output: I think BC should be higher

Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I'm a big Providence College hoops fan. I'm very excited about this series and thrilled that it honors the memory of the legendary Dave Gavitt, former PC coach and founder of the Big East. I love the new incarnation of the Big East. I don't miss any of the schools that have defected. The Friars have a much better chance to compete in a conference with smaller, like-minded, basketball-centric schools. It's a throwback to what the conference was originally supposed to be about. I think the series will be beneficial for both conferences but probably more so for the Big East. Out of conference schedules and performance are huge for a 10 team league. Hopefully in the years to come Michigan will make a trip out to Providence to play on Dave Gavitt Court. I would definitely be in attendence. [Title]

Output: I'm a big Providence College

He had a bone marrow transplant from a donor in Germany that they thought was successful at first but his cancer returned. I'll never forget the kindness of that stranger to give my dad a chance at life so it was an easy choice for me to join Be The Match. It's also a great thing to donate blood and platelets. [Title]

I think Gallon is gonna have a great shot to not only make the Pats but thrive. I see them entrusting him with return duties right away to reduce wear and tear on Edelman. [Title]

Output: Brady spent the AFC


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] People here and around the country forget what originally made the Big East great. The lack of football and the ability to keep northeastern city kids local caused its original success in the 80's. The conference became a national laughing stock because of what happened with its football programs but that was never supposed to be the emphasis. Now they have a chance to remake themselves in the image that the great Dave Gavitt always had in mind. I believe they will more than hold their own against the B1G. Some of the opinions on this thread are shortsighted and don't show a solid understanding of the history of the sport or where it's headed. Edit: For context I should add that I'm a die hard Providence fan. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] My buddy and I are Red Sox fans and were walking back to our cars after seeing the Sox beat the Yankees in a regular season game in 2002 at Yankee Stadium. This one dude who was with a few of his friends was walking beside us and kept chanting "1918" over and over and over again. My friend eventually said something harmless like "scoreboard" but that was all this guy needed. He got inches away from my friend. He wanted a fight but when it was clear my friend wasn't going to swing at him he spit all over his face. We were in absolute shock. I've heard the new Yankee Stadium is a nice, family friendly place but it was a different atmosphere not too long ago. I'll never forget that moment under the Major Deegan Expressway. It was around then that I decided I didn't need to keep going to the South Bronx. [Title]

Output: My buddy and I are Red Sox

Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] I've been watching the prices closely on Stubhub all summer. The cheapest ones were at $130 and came down to $70 after UConn lost to Towson. They seem to be climbing back up slowly now. I don't know how much of a scalper scene there will be because the stadium is right off the highway but it isn't near anything. It's almost like if you put all the effort in to get there you might as well just go to the game. It is UConn's biggest home game ever and the 8 pm kick off might entice people to keep their tickets. [Title]

Output: I've been watching the prices

Input: [Date] 2 years 12 weeks ago [Body] I was most likely to succeed in my high school class (albeit a class of 62), and had really solid test scores. My grades, for the most part, were underwhelming. I applied early to Holy Cross. Growing up in Central Mass I'd always had a great deal of respect for that school. I also applied to Villanova, BC, Lehigh, and Fairfield. I was deferred to regular admission at Holy Cross and ultimately rejected. Villanova and Lehigh placed me on waitlists that I never got off. BC flat out rejected me. The last school that I heard from was the school I wanted to attend the least, Fairfield University. Thankfully they accepted me. I always think that if my late father wasn't an alum I might not have been headed to any college in the Fall of 2001. I'd like to say I learned my lesson and got really good grades at Fairfield but I basically mirrored my high school career of underperformance. I'm ok with that, I guess. Some people just aren't good at being students and I was one of them. Either that or I was lazy. I started out as a math major because calulus came easily to me. Eventually I realized that the more abstract courses were going over my often hungover head. I switched to Econ because it left more room for bullshit. Things went pretty well for me in Southwestern CT. I'm glad that I got to share a common experience with my father. We had a lot of fun rooting for Fairfield hoops together and Fairfield football before they cut the program when I was a sophomore. When I started following Michigan Football religiously I had a moment of regret for not applying to UM. Then, I did some research and realized I likely wouldn't have been admitted there either. I wish 18 year old MAgoBLUE could have read this post and seen that things worked out ok. Despite my lack of preparation the college search was important to me and I took myself pretty serious back then. [Title]

Output: I was most likely to succeed

Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Body] Ace made a GIF after the Florida game of the Gator mascot looking up toward the rafters in disappointment. I thought it was a funny moment and not in poor taste to tweak the Florida fans a little bit. However, after the Syracuse game he made a GIF of the Brandon Triche charge that he called, "RIP Otto the Orange". That was obviously a huge play and it's nice to have it in GIF form but it was just a 50/50 call that went our way and didn't have anything to do with Otto. I just thought the title was unnecessary and a little inflammatory. [Title]

As for the artcile, I've been enjoying it and the comments all week since Jason Kirk tweeted about it on Monday. I went to college in the town next to Wesport and this type of party would be very typical for the residents of Connecticut's "Gold Coast". As others have noted, it doesn't sound like a bad party, just not a good tailgate. Also, in my opinion you can't have a tailgate at your house. That would be considered a BBQ. Without a car there is no tailgate. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] As a fan of both Providence College and the Celtics I can say that you shouldn't spend too much time lamenting this missed opportunity. Pitino is a snake and an ass clown of the highest order. On an unrelated note, my high school biology teacher punched Pitino and broke his nose during a pickup game at UMass in the 70's. If we ever wanted to get him off track we'd just ask an innocent question about Pitino and watch as he would flip his lid. Pitino tends to evoke those types of negative reactions in people. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 45 weeks ago [Body] This is probably the best and most accurate article I've read on Denard over the years. I love the way Hinton writes. He is fair and he gets it right from: "Denard Robinson against Notre Dame is the ur-Denard from which all other versions of Denard follow and against whom they are all compared. With the possible exception of the Denard who played a nearly perfect game in the process of snapping a seven-year losing streak against Ohio State last November, the others almost always come up short" to: "Whether you were there or watching on television, what sticks is the energy that Denard seemed to singlehandedly inject into the stadium, and especially the certainty in that moment that no one else in college football could have achieved any of it."

The play that would make me the happiest this year is a game winning TD reception at some point for Devin Gardner.

Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] Can you think of how embarrassing it would be for UConn to have their biggest home game ever in New Jersey or Massachusetts? I also saw the Yale Bowl suggested above. I think they would rather scrap the football program than play home games at Yale. When it comes to building programs I think UConn knows what its doing. They've become a top 5 basketball program in the last 20 years and the football program is following a similar trajectory. I have to believe that they want the prestige and excitement that comes with hosting Michigan. Allowing DB to strong arm them into a neutral site would bring them more money, but would be shortsighted considering what their goals are. Or maybe I'm just hoping they stick to their guns because I have a sweet parking hook up at The Rent! [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 5 weeks ago [Body] I'm not only entertained by goals. I like the "build up" as you say. However, if no goals are scored for 2 straight games and 4 hours of total running time I start to wonder how they can maybe improve the quality of the product. There are unlimited subs in American sports and there's still plenty of strategy. There would be ways to prevent substitutions just for the sake of stalling and I'd argue that the official would be able to add that to the extra time at the end anyway. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 5 weeks ago [Body] The last 4 hours of this tournament have gone by without a goal scored. I'm a soccer fan but something needs to be done to encourage scoring. Maybe if they had unlimited substitutions it would speed the game up and allow for a more attacking style of play. At the very least they should get rid of the absurd penalty kick shootouts. They are like a glorified free throw contest. Unfortunately, I think that FIFA and EUFA move slower and are more resistant to change than even the NCAA. [Title]

Notre Dame has great pride in our football independence and our traditional rivalries. However, the newly approved 4 team playoff format has placed an emphasis on conference championships. To secure our seat at the table and consistently compete for the at-large playoff spot, we must make concessions to what has historically been the toughest schedule in the nation. Removing schools like Michigan or USC from our schedule, even for a small window of time, allows our student athletes the best chance to compete for the highest prize. The National Championship of College Football is one of the most prestigious honors in sport and is the ultimate objective of every Notre Dame football team."

Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I think you're generalizing a bit too much. I am a UMF grad and I claim to be an alumnus of the University of Michigan because that's what my degree says. But on my CV, Linkedin, etc. and if anyone asks, without hesitation I tell them I graduated from Flint. No, it's not the same campus or admission standards (for sure), but smart people come from everywhere. I was admitted to Ann Arbor for undergrad, but it was MUCH cheaper for me to live at home and commute to Flint. In my field (chemistry), the ACS standardizes the curriculum for a certified degree and it's the same at every university. The same core concepts are convered and I guarantee that I could take any chem class in Ann Arbor and get all As just like I did in Flint. I'm now getting my PhD from NC State because I like the research that I'm doing here with a faculty member that's in an NSF collaboration with some of the best people in the country, including Melanie Sanford in AA. But having "Flint" on my degree didn't stop me from also being admitted to AA, Wisconsin, Washington, and UNC for grad school. Oh, I also had an NSF fellowship as an undergrad. There are definitely people who try to "fake" going to AA, and I don't condone that at all. But your elitist attitude toward this subject is why many people view UM grads as arrogant and entitled. I'm an alumnus of the university and I do my best to represent it as well as I can. I wish everyone else could say the same. I hope my accomplishments are "polished" enough, because I'd love to climb up onto that horse with you. [Title]

Not saying we we get a lot of them, but it's possible. I agree that criticism of the staff is sometimes warranted (I do it too), but not when it comes to the abilities of a player. I think in this particular scenario they've earned our trust. But how does JUB put it? UM fans are more like opera critics than football fans? ;) [Title]

The talent level in the AHL is higher than the an NCAA and he will be playing twice the games while living a professional lifestyle. As much as I want Larkin here another year, he is going to be better served by making the jump now, or at least next year. [Title]

Output: You also have to look at the in-state / out-of-state breakdown. Some schools preferentially admit in state students. I went to William and Mary, where it is substantially more difficult to be admitted from out of state (they are required to admit 80% instate students and only 20% out of state, IIRC). Your chances of getting in as a state resident could be substantially better than as an out of state student. Also, FWIW William and Mary admits about 32% of applicants - pretty close to UM.

Then again, having tutored college athletes before, it's not the least bit surprisng that people bomb it. America is, by and large, a pretty stupid country.

Output: I'm more impressed that this hypothetical miracle team held OSU under 10 points twice. Michigan has held OSU under 20 only twice in the past decade, and lost both times. Michigan might beat OSU this year, maybe twice, but I think someone has spiked the Kool-Aid WRT the defensive performance.

Output: Texas got screwed. Frank the Tank estimates that each school in the Big Ten makes twice that, on top of having an equity position in the network (meaning that number isn't fixed and will climb with inflation, value growth, etc). In short, let me express disingenuous, facetious surprise that Texas did something shortsighted and illogical with their athletic department. That's never happened before.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] JMHO, Denard's passing [Body]

Output: JMHO, Denard's passing ability is entirely predicated on the run (right now). After watching him play this season, it became pretty obvious that having him drop back and try to read coverages was (more often than not) unsuccessful. He was most successful off the PA - in particular, off of the PA QB Sweep (when the safety came down into the box, the slot ran a post behind him for an easy TD - see the ND game). Whatever offense you run needs to have an element of the QB PA. Until Denard shows the ability read and beat coverages, this is strictly necessary for success.


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Next year will be [Body]

Output: Next year will be interesting. Both Hawk and Barnett are true Mikes - neither of them effectively plays the strong side ILB in the 3-4 (too much pass coverage requirement). Hawk has shown that he's every bit as good as Barnett at Mike...so who plays? No point in putting one or the other at SILB if that's not their true position, especially with Bishop and Chillar playing so well there.

Output: And yet, when they needed 2 yards, they didn't run. It's almost as if I were specifically referring to a time like this. Nah, probably not. Beside that obvious facet, can you find anybody who thinks that Wisconsin needed to run less?


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] TCU proved that if you can [Body]

Output: TCU proved that if you can convince Brett Bielema not to run the ball when his running backs are averaging 6.9 and 6.0 YPC (as Clay and Ball were), you can win. Bielema is also susceptible to ruses involving magic beans.

Output: I also heard that 5 Buckeyes are suspended to start next year. Has anybody else heard this? Curse your speedy edit.


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] I see your point of view, and [Body]

Output: I see your point of view, and I think I understand where you're coming from. This is my point of view: Jim Tressel has one of two options: he can play the guys or he can sit them. Now, if he decides to sit the guys then, in effect, they are serving a one game suspension because most of them will just go pro, completely circumventing the NCAA's ruling. There are obviously pros and cons to this; as you say, it shows the players that the coach will take steps to punish players. However, it also shows that the NCAA has, esentially, no power to punish players who break the rules. Now, there is also the matter of whose rules were broken here. Certainly any NCAA rule should be considered a team rule - that essentially goes without saying. On the other hand, it's a steep argument to make that the players did something that hurt themselves or the team or...well, anybody. Personally, I'm don't think that the players should be allowed to play in the bowl game, but it's my opinion that the NCAA should suspend them for the game - not the team. Why? Well, because they haven't done anything to hurt the team. They broke an NCAA rule. The NCAA should have the spine to enforce their own rules. It's not Jim Tressel's responsibility to enforce the NCAA's rules in lieu of the NCAA doing their job. That's why I think that this is the best compromise that he can make. Assuming that the players keep their promise (big assumption, of course) then he's doing a couple of things. He's telling the players that they have to pay the price for breaking the rules (by forcing them to take their NCAA medicine) and he's not usurping (or supplanting, whichever you prefer) the NCAA's authority to enforce their own rules. Now, I totally understand that some people would see this as a circuitous, self serving route to getting the guys to play in the game. I would, however, point of that I'm actually in favor of the NCAA suspending the guys. I do not, however, think that the team has any duty to do what the NCAA refuses to do - especially when this rule is arguably unethical and illogical (although that's another discussion). So I think that Tressel is making a reasonable compromise (again, assuming the guys actually honor their promise). So I'm not going to argue that you're wrong or anything. Opinions are inherently subjective. I do, however, think that there are good arguments to be made on both sides.


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] So, if I understand you [Body]

Output: So, if I understand you correctly, you are not actually responding to my question about why asking the guys to return and, you know, actually serve the suspension reflects poorly on Jim Tressel. You're just reiterating the talking point that you've been trying to bait me with for the past week. Well, I guess everybody needs a hobby.


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] CURSE YOU EMBEDDED VIDEO [Body]

Output: 5th game was for waiting so long to tell anyone, not for lying. Maybe you can spin this into a lie of omission, if that makes you feel better.


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Oh, I misinterpreted what you [Body]

Output: Oh, I misinterpreted what you said. I thought you meant that OSU had known about the sale for over a year (and that doesn't appear to be the case). The players knew about the violation - and that was already out there in the public domain. I mean, that's the reason why they got a 5 game rather than just a 4 game suspension. Maybe Mark May reported that wrong, I dunno. It wouldn't surprise me, since he's basically a worthless asshole.


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Just out of curiousity, if he [Body]

Output: Just out of curiousity, if he had sat the guys for the bowl would you say anything different? Bear in mind that I already know the answer to this question.


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Well, but isn't that the [Body]

Output: Well, but isn't that the point? Teams don't "reload" for long periods of time. It's just too damn hard. Sooner or later it's going to stop (and it will stop at OSU sooner or later - this is essentially the golden age here). That's all I was saying: very, very few teams do it and to claim that Michigan just needs to get back to prior form is a bit misleading. Also, the bowl argument is a little spurious, considering that OSU has only lost to top 5 teams in major bowls (and still has a winning record in bowls over that span, anyway).

Output: I'm actually curious. I totally understand if you just want to go with blind derision of a rival - that's cool. But don't pretend that you have an argument and try to skirt explaining it if you don't.

Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Not to take anything away from this as an admirable action, but why does every single mention of the NBA on this blog have to reference how despicable the league and/or its players are? You don't have to like the league, but those of us who follow it closely know that there's no reason to think most players aren't by and large good people. [Title]

Output: Not to take anything away


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Body] 1.) Sport Management at Michigan is essentially a business degree. Almost a third of the people in my classes are pre-law, and plenty go on to work for financial firms that have nothing to do with sports. Not that working in sports is even something to sneeze at. 2.) Sports movement is not a major that is offered... Maybe they meant Movement Science? Most of those kids are pre-med. [Title]

Output: 1.) Sport Management at


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Body] Ok this is just inaccurate on a number of levels. For one, the assertion that players, particularly point guards, in the NBA don't have "developed" games is ridiculous. The NBA is loaded with loaded with point guard talent right now, and to suggest that Chris Paul and Deron Williams aren't "developed" is nonsensical. For two, I wouldn't even consider Jeremy LIn an "all-around" player. I want to take nothing away from his accomplishments because what he is doing is truly sensational, but dude has flaws. He shot well this past game, but he has a funky shot and it remains to be seen whether or not he can be a consistent jump shooter. He gets most of his points via penetration to his right, and is definitely not ambidextrous yet. He also very much relies on his size and athleticism. He's not Derrick Rose or Russell Westbrook, but he's also much bouncier than say, Steph Curry and way stronger than a Nash. His 6-3 200 frame allows him to absorb contact in the lane and he has the hangtime and strength to finish tough layups. D-Mo has the size but is not as quick or athletic as Lin (and is even more right-dominated). In conclusion, Lin is plenty fun to watch, and so far looks to be an excellent player, but he's not really a revelation stylistically, and shouldn't be used to bash the NBA. [Title]

Output: Ok this is just inaccurate on

Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Body] The MLS is certainly growing, largely because they are being smart about where they are expanding (unlike the NHL). Seattle, Philly, and Portland have all been great examples, and I guarantee Montreal will have great attendance when they enter the league next year. That being said, the gains the league has made is often overstated. The most spacious NBA and NHL arenas only hold at most a little over 20,000, and the majority hold fewer than that. Many MLS teams now have their own stadiums which hold about that, but their attendance numbers are skewed by the Sounders and a little by the Galaxy as well, who play in larger venues (although they are also a little negatively skewed by the Earthquakes, whose stadium only holds 10,000). Attendance by percentage of capacity still lags behind the NBA and NHL, and I bet there are certain teams in those leagues who could sell out 25,000 most games if they had the opportunity. Soccer is really only as high as the second most popular sport in Seattle (behind football) and Portland (behind basketball). In most places, it's still lucky to be fourth, if not fifth (I'm not including NASCAR). I think soccer will pass hockey on a national scale within the next thirty years, but the MLS still has a ways to go if it's gonna rival basketball or baseball. [Title]

Output: The MLS is certainly growing,

Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Body] Lions aren't really struggling with attendance, #2 in the league in new ticket sales and even last year ended up selling out 7 of 8 home games, hell I think the Monday night is already sold out for this year. Hype was not solely on Leshoure's shoulders. That being said, I'd rather a bigger back than Hart. I'm ready for Hart to quit pro football to join the Michigan coaching staff so he can take over for Hoke. [Title]

Output: Lions aren't really


Input: [Date] 4 years 10 hours ago [Body] The Tigers don't have one game left against the Red Sox, Yankees, Angels, or Rangers. This schedule should get them to the playoffs regardless. Once the playoffs start, the Tigers are way overmatched anyway. [Title]

Output: The Tigers don't have one

Input: [Date] 4 years 19 hours ago [Body] I love hip hop but I know some people who don't like it simply because they prefer singing. It's gonna be hard to convince those people regardless of how quality the song is. It's super annoying when people attack the genre because of its perceived simplicity, but ultimately people are entitled to their opinion. I hate pretty much all rap on the radio, but passing judgement on it/people that like it is really just as bad as people twho dismiss the entire genre. To each their own, negative opinions are unnecessary IMO. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Body] You'll be fine, I had similar grades and test scores, coming from out of state and this seemed higher than average. Out-of-state can get really interesting with these weird GPAs. I know in my county in Florida, there is no limit to how high it can go. Our valedictorian graduated with a 6.6 GPA, hard to compare that. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Body] Thank You. The NBA isn't going anywhere, the sentiment of this board is not the national sentiment. Basketball is still much more popular than hockey nationwide. I don't understand why people on this board feel the need to bash it so often, I was really hoping this thread would be a place where NBA fans reflect on what the lockout would mean. But of course we just get attacks full of negativity and subtle racism, not sure why I should have expected better. [Title]

Output: Thank You. The NBA isn't


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Body] I like the NBA. At times 100% effort is not given through a long regular season, but in my perception, for the most part to say they are not trying is not accurate. People are entitled to their opinion, but I for one am incredibly saddened by the potential of losing a season when the league had such momentum. [Title]
