Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] I take issue with this idea of "reenergizing." [Body]

Output: Didn't bring in Rich Rod "re-energize" the program...until it blew up in our faces? I agree that a new coach/possibly new system, combined with the JH jingoism would probably add a curiosity factory to our upcoming season, but it would ONLY sustain itself if the 'new era,' so to speak, proved to be successful. If JH comes and has a poor (or even mediocre) first season, the same "we're-losing-I-hate-this" malaise will strike again. Fresh starts are not always good starts; don't think hiring a new coach guarantees $$$ and prestige.


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] No chance [Body]

Output: Why would Denard, Mr. Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year (and, if our team had been better, a possible Heisman contender), sit out a year? He's a proven star right now, and his transferring would sideline him for a full season. That would be a career disaster, in my opinion. I think Denard is staying regardless. Maybe that's just wishful thinking, because his departure would already worsen by Football OffSeason-al Affect Disorder.


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Really? [Body]

Output: i'd like to see one person who's a bigger Rich Rod fan than a Michigan fan. Oh wait, there are those people...at Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Iowa, Penn State... I want Rich Rod to stay, but I believe Rich Rod deserves all the flack he gets around here. People are just getting a little misty eyed about the end of an era...it's like the day after Christmas: your mind knows its over, but your heart just won't let go.


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] As not only a Michigander and Nebraskan... [Body]

Output: ...but a native of California, I can say that, yes, Palo Alto has some nice regions (for the loaded), it's also got lots of crime and traffic, as well as the worst public school system in the country and an absolutely floundering economy that is not getting better anytime soon. Sure, all of these things don't matter when you're going to make as much as Michigan head coach will, but Ann Arbor is decidedly more family-friendly than Palo Alto...even with the chaos that ensues on game days.


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Are you serious? [Body]

Output: Remember the firestorm that erupted when Rich Rod told his players, before their BCS bowl game, that he was jumping ship? Not only did that tarnish his national reputation, but it was a big slap in the face to a program that had only done good for him. I would be DISinclined to respect a coach who, after expounding the virtues of teamwork/integrity/etc., says before the biggest moment of some of his 20 year old players lives, "sorry dudes, I found a better offer." Regardless of whether Michigan is where JH wants to be, sullying his reputation should not be a required part of the deal. Who wants a coach like that anyway?


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Whoops! [Body]

Output: Just realized you already said everything I just posted, only better. I think seeing the original post mad me unable to contain myself for long enough to, y'know, read the entire thread.


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] That was sweet... [Body]

Output: ...but it's a little hyperbolic to call Rich Rod the best football mind of our generation. I'm squarely on the side of Rich Rod staying, but let's not all get misty eyed and forget the money we had to pay to West Virginia, the NCAA violations, the disastrous defense, and the many, many other issues that, while not entirely his fault, are not indicative of a messiah.


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] I couldn't agree with [Body]

Output: I couldn't agree with DakotaBlue more. I will be the first to say that I'm less than thrilled with many aspects of Rich Rod's tenure...but if we just keep beheading our coaches as their find their legs we're going to go from a "rebuilding" powerhouse to a "historical" powerhouse pretty quickly. And ANYTHING that makes us similar to Notre Dame makes my heart sad.


Input: [Date] 4 years 32 weeks ago [Title] No sooner does a post go up [Body]

Output: No sooner does a post go up declaring that there can't possibly be any big news, Terelle et al get themselves suspended for 5 games next year! Obviously, I wish nothing good upon OSU ever, but this is just sad. Jeopardizing your career for under $2500?! You're going to be making much more than that in the NFL if you don't screw it up. Even worse...selling your memorabilia, including your Big Ten championship ring? If I had won one of those I would never let it go, ever. Terelle, you're a class act. It's too bad you won't be suspended when Ohio state isn't playing cupcakes


Input: [Date] 4 years 32 weeks ago [Title] Seriously [Body]

Output: So, I'll be the first to admit I'm often all fire, no substance, but I'm sure there must be some rule against what Les Miles' is doing. And I'm sure there's no way the NCAA can't do something about it. Well, I guess that last point might be off, because I thought the same about Cam Newton, and here we are. This isn't like signing a pro player and then letting him or her go...this is taking a kid and basically snatching his football (and, likely, college) opportunities away. THAT, to me, is inexcusable, notwithstanding the whole not telling them himself. What a dickbox. I hate him.


Input: [Date] 4 years 32 weeks ago [Title] It's funny... [Body]

Output: I remember how mad I was that Herbstreit "blew" our chance at Les Miles three years ago. I was furious he wouldn't be coming to Ann Arbor and through Herbstreit melted the whole thing down on purpose. I ain't saying Rich Rod is a saint, but I'd take him over Miles any day. Thanks, Herbstreit! (though I know you probably weren't even really involved, my sad, angry mind says otherwise)


Input: [Date] 4 years 46 weeks ago [Title] Really? [Body]

Output: You think '97 is the terrible one?! What about '95? It might be the rare reverse mullet: look at all that party in the front with the shaved sides. Thought 'party' might be the wrong word...horse tail, on the other hand...


Input: [Date] 4 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Amen, blue Seoul! I'll be in [Body]

Output: Amen, blue Seoul! I'll be in Lincoln during the game but It'll always be Michigan #1 for me. It's funny how no matter where I go or what I'm doing on gamedays I'll always be wishing I was in Ann arbor


Input: [Date] 4 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Poor Junior. It's not his [Body]

Output: Poor Junior. It's not his fault he's so dainty.


Input: [Date] 5 years 1 week ago [Title] How will Nebraska be treated? [Body]

Output: I think this will be a big indicator of things to come for Nebraska in the Big Ten. Not having a vote but having a voice is always tricky, and if Osborne voices his opinion strongly on a few issues and is shot down this all might look like Nebraska is a second-class citizen in the league (which, let's be honest, they will be until things normalize with profit-sharing and all that), which is exactly why Nebraska left the Big Twelve. I'm not saying Nebraska's going to pitch a hissy fit (even if they have to travel to Happy Valley every year), but I think we'll all get a good idea of the way Nebraska is being viewed and how easily they are fitting into the brave new big ten.


Input: [Date] 5 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Hail to the Victors! [Body]

Output: It wasn't until I saw that video (the second one) that I realized what college football really needs: more third world propaganda. Each university could pick a country, expose the children at a young age, and in ten to fifteen years acquire millions of new supporters. I'd pay good money to get in the ground floor of Big Ten Network: International.


Input: [Date] 5 years 2 weeks ago [Title] It's really a testament to [Body]

Output: It's really a testament to the power of college football that I can get so wrapped up in moments that means so much to me, good and bad (Manningham's catch...the block...), as well as those that I don't have any connection to but still make me go a big wet one.


Input: [Date] 5 years 2 weeks ago [Title] The answer to your question is: No. [Body]

Output: Mr. Voice of Reason, I believe we "comment" because we have...comments. Apologies if they're not useful to your life. I don't think anyone's crying too hard over lost points.


Input: [Date] 5 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Beautiful [Body]

Output: Wow, those renovations look better and better everytime I see them. Is that a mini-kitchen with a built in plasma? I should have tried to tour the boxes because I'll definitely never afford one. Do you think it's possible to buy one and then live in it too? You can't beat that view from the bedroom window.


Input: [Date] 5 years 3 weeks ago [Title] I'm assuming that even with [Body]

Output: I'm assuming that even with Nebraska being added they wouldn't mess with a) our OSU homegame [what better way to make everyone suddenly hate Nebraska], b) unschedule our ND game [since they're not in conference, it's not like they'll say "oh, sure, we'll just play Iowa instead to make it easy on you guys]. Also, according to this we aren't even playing PSU in 2011. So the original statement isn't even true.


Input: [Date] 5 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Give us both! [Body]

Output: Isn't the best situation for Michigan exactly that: Forcier and Denard splitting time? We tried it (vaguely) last year, but it was sort of stymied by the fact that Denard couldn't really, you know, throw the ball. If Denard IS a legitimate passing option then splitting time between the QBs could really open up our offense. That might be a big if, but people keep saying Denard can throw now, so...


Input: [Date] 5 years 5 weeks ago [Title] I used to agree with the [Body]

Output: I used to agree with the sentiment that few goals = no fun, but the America/Algeria game really put that in perspective. There were no goals for 91 minutes but I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I don't think Americans care about there not being goals, I think we just don't like ties. As long as the game ends with a winner I think the payoff is worth the low score. I mean, the 2-1 Uruguay - South Korea game was 100x better than the 7-0 Portugal - North Korea game, goals be damned.


Input: [Date] 5 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Noooooo [Body]

Output: PSU and Nebraska in the same division/side of the conference would mean so much traveling for players and fans. Nebraska fans pride themselves on road trips, but Happy Valley is like half the country away. Plus, put all four of those teams together and you've officially put all the prestige teams in one division. Might as well leave the other schools to die.


Input: [Date] 5 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Those Poor Kids [Body]

Output: A Penn State/Nebraska rivalry...man that's a lot of travel. As the eastern and western edge of the conference, PSU and Nebraska should NOT be in the same side of the conference, however things get split up. It's not fair to the players, and its not fair to the fans. I'd personally like to see a Wisconsin vs/ Nebraska rivalry game...they can call the trophy the Big Red Jug.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Hudsonville! [Body]

Output: Representing! Go Eagles! That is all.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Not sour grapes [Body]

Output: No sour grapes here. I just take it seriously when one says UM is their dream school and then goes to a rival. Save your troll comment, my degree says differently. Facts are facts, I hope we actually can get a CT player to live up to the hype. So far it's been a very small percentage.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 4 days ago [Title] My thoughts exactly [Body]

Output: And when he transfers to YS, he'll be behind Dunn. Either way, I'm sure he'll fall right in line with every other CT bust, save for Hill and maybe Lewis.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I think he needs a shot [Body]

Output: At TE. That's all


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Wow... [Body]

Output: Did Sam Webb create an account? How ridiculous, hire the best coaches available regardless of color. If we're going to go down the diversity road maybe we should hire some women coaches, or Asian, maybe Indian. Maybe we should diversify the student-athletes as well. Better yet think before you post racist crap.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 1 day ago [Title] O'Doyle RULES! [Body]

Output: NM


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Very confused... [Body]

Output: Very confused I am


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Smoke screens... [Body]

Output: My hope, and belief, is that the UM AD is putting out all of this nonsense, about everyone other than Harbaugh, to buy time and create a smokescreen. They need the media to leave Harbaugh alone and we need time.


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 4 days ago [Title] The best thing Devin can do... [Body]

Output: The best thing that Devin can do is hire himself a personal assitant to follow him for the rest of his life in order to make decisions for him. He really struggles with those....


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] After watching... [Body]

Output: After watching the MooU/O$U game I was further reminded that Hoke has a less than zero percent chance of being successful in the B1G. Anyone who thinks otherwise quit drinking and go to bed or find a new team. Hoke is so far out of his element. I'm going to start calling him Donnie.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Brandon Too [Body]

Output: Otherwise we'll end up with DeBord or English. They're Michigan Men... Hoke can't coach, can't develop and only knows how to pander. This is embarrassing


Input: [Date] 50 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I need a bang [Body]

Output: Poetry.


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Shape [Body]

Output: We are based in Grand Haven Michigan. Roll-forming for body-in-white components, as well as injection molding for energy absorbers. Bumpers/doorbeams/other energy management systems....


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Me too [Body]

Output: i'll be there as well. My company rents out a suite once a year to take our Honda counterparts to a game. It's a very nice arena. even for C-Bus.....


Input: [Date] 3 years 42 weeks ago [Title] This Ephialtes Cat from 300 [Body]

Output: I think he is a fine visual of what every spartan looks like on the inside....


Input: [Date] 3 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Funny you bring that basement dweller up.... [Body]

Output: Funny story, so i am having lunch with my boss in spring lake a few weeks ago and this guy in pajamas walks in who looks strangely familiar. My boss says"Hi John" and i about spit my lunch out. I said "no freakin way, is that John Spartan?" She says "well kinda, his name is John Sheldon and he is my old neighbor". Apparently this cat still lives in his parents basement and drives around a beat to shit moped. How fitting. Just for old times sake i wanted to heave something at him, but felt bad because he didn't have his "armor" (stupid green paint, gay pompons and dumbass striped shorts) nor his "steed" (POS peddle bike).


Input: [Date] 3 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Well it will be a lot closer than i want..... [Body]

Output: UM-38 MooU-21


Input: [Date] 3 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Ummm.... [Body]

Output: Maybe I'm missing something, but i don't see Denard's name...........(sarcasm alert for the Douchetonios of the world)


Input: [Date] 3 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Meechigan 38....... [Body]

Output: Little crippled deranged sister 21. UM-38 LCDS-21 I stated this in another post, but worth restating. At the end ofthis game, Jenna Jameson is going to be jealous of the amount of time Cousins spent on his back. Our D-Line is going to Mike Tyson eat their children.


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Every single freshman [Body]

Output: should have to redshirt if it were up to me. A lot of these kids think just because they were stars in HS that it automatically translates to college. Big reality/ego check for a lot of them.If they all had to redshirt it might humble them a bit.


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Probably [Body]

Output: from the same voice in his mind that is telling him he should be starting. I was trying to convince him to stay, but he thinks the coaches are out to get him, just like RR's staff was. quiet kid, but a prima donna nonetheless.


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Title] I was the op on... [Body]

Output: GBW that posted the info. He will be requesting his release tomorrow. If you have questiosn about where I heard it, it was straight from the horses mouth. He gave me additional details, but none that would make him look good. too bad


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] We all know Boren wasn't one of them.... [Body]

Output: ....he would certainly not trade his autograph for a measly tattoo when there are loads of confections out there to be traded for...


Input: [Date] 4 years 32 weeks ago [Title] Awesome [Body]

Output: Very nice work. Now do the rest of the team.....J/K

Output: got a sort of promotion.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] If this is true, Hackett is an absolute legend. [Body]

Output: In less than a year, he hired the most sought-after coach in all of football and (likely) made an apparel contract change that by many insiders will significantly effect recruiting in a positive way. He has earned years of support. So, after cleaning up some huge messes and earning all the positive support associated with those changes, he may leave the athletic department to an excellent long-term candidate? I will be disappointed if he ever has to pay for a drink in Ann Arbor again.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I'm not in favor of Michigan [Body]

Output: playing a game at a race track. But I would imagine a game vs ND after a several year hiatus would sell enough tickets to fill pretty much any man-made stadium.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Hmmmm [Body]

Output: I hated the bumblebee uniforms, but we were wearing them when State beat us. I hated the 'Bama uniforms, but of course, that game was a nightmare. I loved the uniforms we wore while winning the Sugar Bowl. I love the original uniforms, as Michigan has won far more games than they've lost while wearing them. Speaking for myself, it appears as though I really love whatever Michigan is wearing as long as they are winning football games.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 3 days ago [Title] It's the first Friday in May, [Body]

Output: that means summer is coming. Following summer, we get football. So for the next 7 months, we get great weather, football, or even both. /happy


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I either reciprocate it, [Body]

Output: or if I'm really fired up, I say "Hell yeah!"


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Just my opinion [Body]

Output: Agree with you 100% though that the bigger issue last year was coaching.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Title] For me, it's hard to say. [Body]

Output: Last year's team was more talented than 5 wins, they just weren't mentally tough. I think if Harbaugh was our coach last year, we win 8-9 games. So, how much of a jump should we expect? Going from 5-win talent to achieving 10 wins is too much to ask for. But going from 8 to 10 certainly wouldn't be. I would be surprised if we won 7 or less. But I won't be surprised if we win 10. /tl;dr - 8-9 wins sounds about right.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Speaking of stupid, [Body]

Output: there was an MSU fan near me in the student section during that game. After MSU took a 3-0 lead, he yelled "scoreboard" a bunch of times. He probably heard "scoreboard" yelled at him about 1,000 times over the next 3 hours.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 6 days ago [Title] +1 [Body]

Output: for not knowing how to embed a tweet. Oh, yeah, and that sounds like some pretty important news as well.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I hope you are right. [Body]

Output: I love this time of year. It's either boring because our class is set, and that's a good thing. Or we are in the mix for some last minute commits/flips, and that's an exciting thing.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I am of the opinion, [Body]

Output: that if the OL is as good as his previous iterations, our offense will be very good. I am also of the opinion that I will say "Drevno? More like Drevyes!" far too often after TDs. I will hold my hand up for high-5s after each of those comments, and rightfully be left hanging.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I don't think Harbaugh [Body]

Output: would string Michigan along. But he may just be stringing along the NFL.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Agree completely [Body]

Output: If JH is not our next head coach, I think this is the biggest reason why.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 3 days ago [Title] From everything I've heard about the [Body]

Output: SF front office, they sound crazy and angry enough to fire JH early next week if the 49ers are eliminated. If this is a good and decent world, we may actually have him as a coach by next weekend.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Weber committing to OSU is a dong punch. [Body]

Output: But our RB situation is awesome right now, IMO. We are loaded. Ty Isaac isn't a high-level recruit. He has, like, actual college stats. We have an embarrassing wealth of talent at the RB position. As many have said in this thread, if we hire the right coach, we don't have anything to worry about.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 3 hours ago [Title] Kinda sounds [Body]

Output: like you're nitpicking, now. /s


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] That's the key distinction, IMO. [Body]

Output: If I go to Vegas, sure, I'll throw a bet on something like this without much thought as that bet is just entertainment for me. But Vegas lines don't usually move big amounts because dudes like me put $50 on a bet like this. For the pro gambler, this is how they make a living. They don't just throw money on a prop bet because it sounds fun. The bet has to be researched prior to being placed. IMO, this is definitely a good sign. But with the caveat that it's a good sign on 12/6/14. These coaching searches seem to have a lot of moving parts. No guarantee that whatever info is out there is accurate in a few days.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I've lost sleep this [Body]

Output: week as I am so excited about JH becoming our next head coach. Whether it happens or not, it's been fun being excited about Michigan football again.


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Awesome group of guys. [Body]

Output: I will really miss DG. As far as performances go, I will always remember ND UTL II and his unreal performance against OSU with a malfunctioned lower body. I really love his video board intro as well. When everyone else is saying "Name, year and major" he has his "Devin Gardner . . . I already graduated" and then smiles. I have always felt as though we have an embarrassing wealth of great kids here. I know there are great kids who play everywhere, but we just have so damn many. I really hope these guys grab a win and bowl eligibility today. Go Blue, Thank you, seniors!


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I got in trouble by reading [Body]

Output: this at work and laughing very loudly. I tried to explain it to those around me and they looked at me like I'm crazy. Chances I'm asked to take a drug test today: Fear/paranoia level 10. I'm reminded of how I felt in the 2007 game vs App St. As the day progresses, so does the likelihood of something embarrassing happening. Chances I fail the drug test: Fear/paranoia level 1. I don't do drugs so the only chance I fail is a lab error. I'm reminded of how I felt after I heard we scheduled this yrs App St game. The outcome will be fine but everyone's response will be "Lol, what an embarrassing way to spend an afternoon."


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Well, MSU beat us by 24. [Body]

Output: If OSU beats them by 27 and we beat OSU by 28+, we could still celebrate winning the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Oh, wait a minute. Hardly any of us could celebrate that because most of us are muggles.


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I agree. [Body]

Output: I'm not usually in favor of "everyone should go." I like the idea of maintaining at least a couple of good guys to help with transition for the players. Even a guy or two who could tell the new staff in private "yeah, but you can't really do that/say that/whatever here." (WR gets the #1 type of stuff) But right now, with as toxic as this program has been lately, I really think everyone's gotta go. We need a fresh start. That includes you (looks over at Adidas).


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I love the idea of fans contributing [Body]

Output: money to alter uniforms. But I'd go one step further and make it a competition. So for tomorrow's game, if Michigan fans donated more money, MSU is wearing the pink. The more we beat them by, the more pink they wear.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] I agree, Narduzzi has totally earned a shot, [Body]

Output: but nowhere near Ann Arbor. Dantonio's crush for OSU was always very obvious. I would not be able to handle Narduzzi having the same affection for MSU if he was our head coach. I also think he would defer to Dantonio on the recruiting trail. It's ok to respect your opponents, but you can't be cool with them being your alpha. I honestly would worry about a Trojan horse, I don't care how stupid that sounds. Also, I honestly think MD keeps telling Narduzzi that soon he will retire, and the MSU gig is Pat's. I was really bummed when Narduzzi didn't take the Uconn job last year.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 2 days ago [Title] It feels very fitting. [Body]

Output: In the fall, my wife is forced to listen to me whine, scream, throw temper tantrums and use my outdoor voice in the wrong places. From a karmic standpoint, it's totally fair that I have a similar experience.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 2 days ago [Title] My wife forgot [Body]

Output: that she agreed to watch her friend's kids today despite agreeing to volunteer at work. So, I'll be babysitting a 6 month old and 4 yr old today with the help of my 6 yr old.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Wow [Body]

Output: Excellent write up, thanks for posting. All 3 sound like a tremendous upgrade. I have a feeling President Schlissel would have a lean towards Bates. But, yeah, they all sound great.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] Will also be interesting to see [Body]

Output: what happens to the loser of FSU and ND. If ND loses to FSU, but then wins out, they will also be in the conversation. In part, annoyingly, because they are ND. I think a playoff system is a good thing. But the politics and lobbying is going to really suck. Even if every SEC team has 2 losses, there will be a big push to put at least one, if not two of them in the playoff.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 7 hours ago [Title] Agree. [Body]

Output: I think MSU probably gets "jobbed" by the 2nd SEC team that gets in. It's actually pretty interesting, IMO. On the one hand, they did schedule Oregon. But of course, on the other, the B1G is just so bad this year. We will keep seeing articles about this until they get another loss this year. Here's to that happening on 10/25.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] I don't think that anyone can [Body]

Output: I don't think that anyone can be ruled out, especially when dealing with type A personalities competing against other type A personalities on a daily basis. I look at a case like Verlander or Roy Halladay and wonder if the drop off in performance (from elite to run of the mill) is not due to a positive test that was never made public, because there was no second positive test. I don't think it diminishes their accomplishments since such a large portion of the league was using, but I don't think that it makes their accomplishments any better either. Did you think Andy Pettite was using PED's?


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] Steroid Era [Body]

Output: So you are just going to assume that only hitters were juicing? The guys on the bump were doing every bit as much as the rest of them.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I love my career. [Body]

Output: I sell propane and propane accessories. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I always liked to think that if I hadn't broke my ankle back in '83, maybe I would have played for the Cowboys, but then I realize that Strickland Propane will always be the place for me.


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

Output: Sprint Cars on a dirt track. Favorite racer of all time is Bill Elliott. Second is Dick Trickle for obvious reasons.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 3 hours ago [Title] My usual go to [Body]

Output: Is a bottle opener. But you can always use a lighter, or any of the other things MacGyver types use to open those bottles.

Output: Is this why Messiah de-committed? I think that with Harbaugh, he could make any player a good quarterback, I tell ya what. Except for probably Bobby, that boy ain't right. Now Joseph on the other hand...


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Fool me once.... [Body]

Output: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me five times and I would begin to think maybe I was the problem. That or my doctor.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Who knew? [Body]

Output: You must drive like my great grandmother. Denver is a two hour drive from Laramie, Salt Lake City is a 7 hour drive from Laramie, you can enjoy the outdoors in peace, and there are no big pimply a-holes like you to bug the locals. Matter of fact, when I retire from Strickland, I might just move to a place like Laramie. Almost forgot about the water.... It's great there!


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I'm so excited... [Body]

Output: "I'm so excited for the first week of winter conditioning, to get that started. Let's find out exactly what our intent is." Anybody else go from 6:00 to Midnight on that one? There is a plan, a process, and now a leader to ensure it is ruthlessly implemented. We are in good hands again.


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 6 days ago [Title] A head coach [Body]

Output: A head coach is typically minded one way or another (offense or defense). The biggest issue I believe you are overlooking is his leadership. His determination. All reasons he has turned around three programs (two of which were historically bad football wise) and would most likely win here. No one is claiming an inherent schematic advantage, just the hope that we will actually start to "out-physical" teams instead of just talking about it.

Output: He can hear what a good team sounds like.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Not for lack of trying? [Body]

Output: This is Michigan Fergodsakes.The job requires more effort than what has been put in, obviously. So yes, it has been for a lack of trying. Folksy football coach can't coach football. Hoke has been the loudest about "expectation", and they have not been met (outside of great practices), so we will stomp wherever we please.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Tricky situation. [Body]

Output: The coordinators see the team practice all week from field level, yet they watch the film of opposing defenses from a press-box vantage point. Aesthetically, it would seem that the view from the box would give you a much broader view of the game, and making it easier to pick up tendencies, coverages, weaknesses, etc. and exploit them. Forest for the trees argument. However, if the coaches, who are WELL into their coaching careers at this point and thus, presumably well versed (though this season is becoming a contradiction to this point) in all facets of their job see the game all week at field level, wouldn't you want that same experience on Saturdays? Just my two cents, now onto reality. The obvious answer is that Nuss probably wants to call plays from the booth, but Hoke said he couldn't because he wanted to be able to communicate with him directly. No headset for Hoke = no direct communication to coordinators. I still do not understand this argument from him. Coaches throughout the country coach players very well during games while wearing a headset. Why can't Brady Hoke? Is there so much going on for him that he cannot effectively do his job with a headset on? If so, he is simply not qualified for the job.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Still being a dick [Body]

Output: At 15? Maybe the man is in medical school, or perhaps the traditional route was not suitable and that is why he has to study. Regardless, wtf is the OP talking about?


Input: [Date] 52 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] Let me take this as an opportunity... [Body]

Output: To warn everyone here about the dangers of cooking with charcoal. Here at Strickland Propane, we say, "Taste the meat, not the heat." That is because propane is a clean-burning, odorless and tasteless gas. Enjoy the rest of your summer, and remember to step away from that bag of Kingsford if you truly want to enjoy that cut of meat.

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Summary: If your on an extreme budget, go with VIZIO. But only as a last resort. If you can find a sale or have the extra money.... go with SONY Detailed explanation: If you have channels that aren't in HD, I'd NOT recommend VIZIO. HD channels come in perfect and awesome, but anything that isn't HD comes in pixellated or fuzzy. I'd also have to point out that a lot of peripherals (DVD player, PS3) come in really softly. I have to boost my volume to 100 just to hear it. My other TV is a SONY that I adopted through marriage. It's been a champ and I highly recommend it. Combine that with a Sony HT-CT770 2.1 Channel Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer (or equivalent), and it's been an awesome purchase. Found this one by testing all the sound bars at the local best buy. This one gave the richest sound... while the others sounded hollow or tin-ey. [Title]

Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Not sure if this was mentined yet, but we did have well, one of the WORST home schedules you can have in a single season. OSU, ND, and MSU were away. Our "best" home game was against Penn State. That had more to do with the attendance record than anything. Switch any one of those games to "home" and we still have the record. [Title]

Output: Bad team and bad SCHEDULE


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 5 days ago [Body] "No one is gonna get hurt"... really? why? b/c they're women? That seems to be what you're implying. So if two dudes were brawling it out, would it be, 'na man, let them fight it out' Get real. These women were throwing punches. And there was a child involved. A child! He threw something at the one woman's face. Who knows how much this could have escalated. The man taking this video should have put down the cameria immediately and helped try to break it off. Or at least go get security. [Title]

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Body] It's a gamer's addiction I can't break. I've been playing this game on and off since 2003. It's one of the oldest-running online browser games. It features a hardcore strategy gameplay on building and managing a kingdom set in a fantasy world. And it's especially number crazy, like deciding what race and personality to play and how best to take advantage of each individual's attributes. Sadly it's numbers which used to be 40k or so near it's height is down to only about 4k. Lots of long-time vets playing with a few new players here and there. The game used to be unplayable unless you downloaded a third party software to analyze your builds and attack #'s. Now thought, they incorporated a lot of that into the game itself. Much more playable now for casual gamers, but still takes a lot of coordination to do well as a team. Game can be found here: http://utopia-game.com/shared/ Forums are currently down at the moment (not sure why) but likely due to a new "age" starting. By age, the game resets every 3 months to a different age. It's on Age 65 now. [Title]

Output: Utopia; a MMORPG since 1998

Output: The optimism and excitement


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I have no sympathy for GRRM. "Writing is hard", rubbish. He has explicitly said the reason he hasn't finished the book is because he can't write while traveling. So it's been 4-5 years now and because he's famous, all he does is travel. That's a long vacation. Nobody needs that much time off. [Title]

Output: Response to both above posters

Output: It's not so overbearing as Chop House, but the food is excellent. When my firm goes to Ann Arbor for recruiting, we like to rent the place out.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Mathematically, that's going [Body]

Output: Mathematically, that's going to require one of two things: (1) somebody is going to have to leave or (2) Hatch is going to have to go on a medical scholarship. At this point it's hard to see who would be up for leaving. We have a huge logjamb at the wing position, but all of those guys (except Irvin) were made by Beilein. In my mind, the only way we fit another player is by putting Hatch on a medical -- which is obviously controversial.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I think this article [Body]

Output: I think this article reiterates how blessed we are to have Ross as a supporter of the program and the University. He gives generously and doesn't (appear to) threaten to take his ball and go home if things don't go his way.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] I guess this was written [Body]

Output: I guess this was written before the spring game. I think we can be much better, but I think it's going to take a while for Harbaugh to work his magic. Then again, Hoke (or Mattison) turned over our defense overnight...maybe Harbaugh can do the same for our offense?


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I predict some people on this [Body]

Output: I predict some people on this board will flip out at how we look on offense.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 3 days ago [Title] VCU is one of the few schools [Body]

Output: VCU is one of the few schools I really enjoy watching outside of Michigan. I think Smart is a great coach, and it will certainly be interesting to see how he does at Texas. If Belein were to retire, it would be hard to look at anyone as a home run coach given that we probably aren't getting anyone like Calipari or Petino the Sr. Given that, I think Smart would be a home run hire. I would also be happy to see Jordan be promoted as the head coach. Let's face it -- it's going to be really hard (or impossible) to say we're making a step up in coaching once Belein is gone. Honestly though, it may be possible to get a better recruiter that would be able to keep the team at least at the level that it is right now.

Output: Maize looks a lot stronger to me, especially on defense with Mone and Peppers standing out.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I don't really understand why [Body]

Output: I don't really understand why a person who is almost definitely a one and done or two and done would actually care about academics. They're likely not going to graduate from the university unless they take take an inordinate number of classes between pro seasons or come back full time. Of course that's aside from the whole learning stuff while you're there thing.... If Jaylen does come to Michigan, I would think it's because Belein and co. can probably teach him a lot of of the things that he's not already super awesome at.


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 3 days ago [Title] They may be bigger than us, [Body]

Output: They may be bigger than us, but I think we really do look faster than them.

Input: [Date] 20 weeks 4 days ago [Title] There are a lot of parents [Body]

Output: There are a lot of parents that go, as well as grad students who can be in their 30's. I wouldn't worry about it. In general I think it's more fun to go with people you know, no matter what section you're going to be in.

Output: Are these hand timed?

Output: I have to admit that I'm a bit less worried about this than I was before. With our freshman coming on strong, I don't know that Caris will move the needle THAT much. I think we're going to be way more dependent on the improvement of our bigs.


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 5 days ago [Title] The differences in the law [Body]

Output: The differences in the law schools is huge. HUGE.


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I think Toronto is a fine [Body]

Output: I think Toronto is a fine school. But to your point, I'm surprised that Toronto is 16 whereas McGill is at 35. I think back in the day McGill was though of as being a lot more prestigious than Toronto, although Toronto has caught up and perhaps overtaken by a bit in recent times. However, the 16 vs. 35 differential doesn't really ring true to me. EDIT: I think the country to country comparisons are even more subjective than the intra-national comparisons, and even more useless.

Output: I love that the link is to "adidass".


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 5 days ago [Title] It's a fun, but useless list. [Body]

Output: It's a fun, but useless list. All things considered though, I don't think it's really unfair to U of M (and I'm saying this as a law school grad -- one of the highly ranked units at Michigan). The only schools that make me raise an eyebrow are UCLA and Toronto. That having said, I would much rather have gone to Michigan for my undergrad than where I went (which is higher on the list) and would definitely encourage my daughter to go to Ann Arbor no matter where else she was accepted.


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I don't disagree. However, [Body]

Output: I don't disagree. However, there's also a difference between having competition and having the number of QBs that we'd be projected to have.


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Apart from the "all the QBs [Body]

Output: Apart from the "all the QBs must suck" worry, my other concern is how this affects our future recruiting for high level QBs. No matter how awesome a QB coach you think Harbaugh is, only the supremely confident wouldn't worry about depth, and attention from the coaches.


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 6 days ago [Title] More like, just wait until [Body]

Output: More like, just wait until 'The Harbaugh' takes effect and we start taking down MSU and OSU on the regular.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] Ouch. That's gotta be rough [Body]

Output: Ouch. That's gotta be rough when your dad's the coach. Anyway at the end of the day he's getting a great education, learning the game from one of the best, and now he's playing like a boss! All good things.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] Agreed. There's a reason why [Body]

Output: Agreed. There's a reason why people have incredibly short careeers in the NFL. At a certain point you have to think about your long term QOL. There are plenty of things Jake Long can do now that don't involve wrecking his body any further.

The dog figured out when I came home, it was walk time. it's continued to this day. Most dogs don't need more than 30 -45 minutes after age 2. I'm sure between two of you, you should be able to find that time 5-7 times a week. I find it relaxing. I have a Vizsla which are high energy. He's left home alone all day and has run of the house, don't recommend that until 1-2 years old. But if you have a dog from a puppy he will learn your schedule and adapt. [Title]

Output: I had same situation10 years ago


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Body] This is not coming from the athletic department. The Daily can't confirm it and its from this leader of a organization on campus. Doesn't seem that concrete. "Caris LeVert will announce his NBA Draft decision Tuesday, according to a representative of the Order of Angell, a campus honor society from which LeVert has accepted a membership invitation for the 2015-16 academic year." [Title]

Output: Please read the article


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 2 days ago [Body] As someone who just scalped my opening day tickets, I just find it silly you think its dishonest. I have two tickets behind the plate that I sold for $600. Is it better that I go on StubHub where I have to pay 10% and my buyer has to pay a fee too? The buyer had a market utility of those tickets of $600, and I did not, hence the sale. Do you think every middle man buyer /seller only marks up the items enough to feed their mouths? Is everything above that dishonest? Teams and markets are placing some tickets on these secondary market at preminum, in order to make more money. Heck I had the opportunity through "dynamic pricing" to buy $500 per ticket to UTL 2 through the athletic department. Also, I had a friend as account exective for the Mavs through their really good years Final runs. He said they were instructed not to sell to brokers and there were penalties for doing so. However, they were never enforced, and they also had pressure to get 50 sellouts (regular and preseason) and they were paid on a heavy commission. So it was lip service. But it's why you see sellouts and empty seats in the lower bowl even for the good teams in the NBA especially weekdays. Those are broker seats [Title]

Output: So Stubhub and every non direct sale is dishonest

Would the CSG agree with that statement? Were their voices heard, given a chance when the price increase, general seating, punishment/rewards for seats decisions were being made? Or now is it convenient to spread the blame and say, you've been doing something when clearly you have not until it bites you in the rear end [Title]

Output: Relegation


Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Body] Have shopped at his chain of stores. They do this every year, heck they did it twice a year for the SB and the national title game. I think what they do is pull off all the special sales they usually run and then you are paying full price for everything. Markups and everything what they are. He had a 400,000 steer on display in his store when I was there, he's probably doing ok. [Title]

Output: Lived in Houston


Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Body] Good coaches can overcome the loss of a starter. Two starters in the frontcourt is a big deal and easy for the media to discuss. However, why do we feel like the Dawson injury is like other injuries. He hurt himself by stupidity. Thats not bad luck or anything else, its stupdity. Not like Payne or Mcgary with game/chronic injuries. Thats like me driving my car into the wall, then whining how my car is broken down and I can't get to work. Also, I don't know the refs names, but it seemed like 2 of them were calling a legit game and the taller one with dark hair was Spartan Bob. He was the one standing over Spike ignoring the timeout. I'm pretty sure he called at least one phantom call on Morgan on the Appling travel call. [Title]

If you were the family wouldnt you expect this before they used her name and pictures on television? And if you are the media, wouldn't a quote from her father, mother, family member whatever be something you want to get. Something how Te'o helped her to be strong throughout her battle? How he was a positive influence in her life? Especially since this was not a short lived story. [Title]

Output: I want to expound a little


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] that ND and media were parading this apparition's name through the media and the world and not one of them tried to contact her fictional family. Also, I find it hilarious in the South Bend Tribune article, it talks of Te'o using Skype with his family but never occured to him to use it with his girlfriend. [Title]

Output: It really bugs me


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Te'o is McNaulty; ESPN is Templeton. It is all in my notes.. [Title]

Output: 5th Season of the Wire


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] So the media slurped this story down and not one of them even tried to talk to the apparition's parents? You would figure since the media hype lasted for weeks that maybe someone would try to get a quote from them or at the very least get permission to use a dead girl's photos. Or ask if the family they wanted this media attention. Did Te'o say they were all on vacation? Maybe I'm giving too much credit to the media. [Title]

Output: Media


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] For the Basketball blue bloods, Duke, UNC, Kentucky, UCLA is does not matter. But for a team like Michigan, it does because it increases the profile and generates tv interest on ESPN etc. It allows us to say to recruits to come here and you can be the best in country. Something we haven't been able to close to be saying for 15 years, which is longer then most of the new recruits can remember. Agree with the rest of your points. I'm thinking 4 regular season losses. @ IU, @ minny, @ MSU and some crap loss no one sees coming, that causes a melt down on the board due to refs, horrible shooting, or red hot opponent shooting. I may be thinking at Wisco where the refs think they are playing at Camp Randall. [Title]

Output: You are right, except you are wrong too


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] that NBC is cool with this. When I say cool with this, I mean willing to pump millions of dollars into the school. NBC with the Michigan series was either guaranteeed a USC game at home or Michigan. Both huge football traditional powerhouses with large fan and alumni bases. Now NBC is guaranteed USC on odd number years and uh Stanford on the evens? I know ND may demand that FSU be scheduled instead, but I still think thats a step down in potential tv draw from Michigan. Also, I thought the ACC was choosing the scheudule each year. I know I hate NBC because of the announcer and how they manage to shove a commerical into every posession change and heck after every kickoff Saturday. Also ND broke up with Michigan the same way a 5th grade girl does with her boyfriend. Calling LSU freak. [Title]

Output: I'm really surprised

Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Body] And if UMASS runs for 250? Saw very little to be positive and Western Kentucky shut down Alabama on the ground. Yes the Hilltoppers stopped Bama for 56 yards rushing through 3 quarters. [Title]

Output: UMass

Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] Maybe he doesn't like football. Maybe he doesn't want to spend the 60+ hours a week a Division 1 program requires. Maybe he doesn't want to wreck his knees or be concussed multiple times. It's not everyone's dream to play Divsion 1 football and the NFL. Kudos for the kid who made a tough decision and who is talented enough to get a track schorship. I hope random people criticizes your life decisions too Best of luck to him. [Title]

Output: Sure criticize a kid for making life decisions.


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Body] I think a conference ban is acceptable with the exception of the home state of the player. Unless the current school is also in the home state. IE no transfers from Purdue to Indiana. But banning players from a whole separte region or state is silly. Any coach or person with a job can move at will. Why is it the first school's choice. I mean if I'm a lawyer, engineer whatever and want to go to a competing firm, I can. I mean they are paying me, which is pretty similar to a scholaship in my opinion. [Title]

Output: I agree


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Body] shouldn't cripple the basketball team or football team either. I don't think a transfer on the basketball team would cripple the team. Most transfers are transfers because they aren't getting minutes anyway. Plus taking the scenario further. Let's say its some genius in the bio medical department. Does Michigan block that student from going to Harvard or John Hopkins. Heck, I could even claim those schools are in direct competion for research grants too. [Title]

Output: A transfer


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Body] Let's say I have an full ride academic scholorship. I decide I hate Wisconsin and want to go to Maryland etc. Does Wisconsin block me from doing that? By your logic, I accepted a full ride scholarship, You are correct a walk on can transfer anywhere, but still has to sit out a year even if he pays his own way. Beilein has a good grasp on this. That 40% of BCS schools players transfer or go to NBA. It's Wisonsin with its head in the sand, trying to ignore the problem [Title]

Output: Devil's advocate


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Body] Worked at AA Pioneer in Mr. White's first year. I can say he's an awesome adminstrator. Fair, and straight forward. If you think Pioneer is a prison, should see what a real prison is or go to some other large schools. Just because he doesn't let students roam the halls, and eat lunch wherever does not a prison make. [Title]

Output: Must be a student


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

Output: Anthony Davis is trending towards becoming the most dominant big man in NBA history, and we will be blessed if 'Dre tops out as a Dwight Howard doppleganger. So we probably won't have to worry about Drummond making $30 million a year anytime soon, unless he makes some shrewd moves in the stock market. He's a smart kid - I wouldn't put that past him.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Title] If you think [Body]

Output: the decision to choose Weiss over Flip cost the Wings another Cup, you haven't been paying attention to the Red Wings the past couple of seasons. We have been squarely planted in the NHLs middle-class since our last Cup appearence. Players like Weiss or Flip do nothing to change that. Luckily for the Red Wings, we have seen our farm system emerge into one of the leagues elite and have managed to stay afloat despite some decisions that didn't work out. And it is that farm system that will give us another chance at the Cup, not re-signing a guy who refuses to shoot the puck. EDIT: No arguments about Hossa v. Franzen. I think the front office got caught up in their dates of birth and Franzen's magical Cup run and made a terrible mistake.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Outside of Babcock [Body]

Output: Outside of Babcock and a few other coaches, Blashill is as good a hire you can make for any team in any situation. He's a true coaching stud, and someone the Red Wings have been keen to lock up. If Babcock didnt move on, Blashill would be coaching another NHL team right now. He's had enormous success in Grand Rapids, and he has a very high level of familiarity with much of this team. Combine that with our Top 5 farm system, and I'm super excited about the future of the Wings.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 1 hour ago [Title] Interesting. [Body]

Output: Interesting that you'd rank Athanasiou over Mantha. I'd like to think it's more of a compliment to AA's progress and less a slight to Mantha. Mantha is still a tremendous prospect - but our farm system is just that good right now. A potential line of Helm-Larkin-Athansiou makes me feel weird in my pants.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Those of you [Body]

Output: who have the audacity to denounce the post-Signing Day actions of these kids: Shame on you. Seriously, shame on you. I'd like to believe that perhaps you're just bitter that these kids did not commit to Michigan, but it's also entirely possible you are sociopaths who really enjoy insulting 17 year old children. Do you remember yourself at 17? Do you remember how impressionable you were? Did you ever admire or look up to a teacher or other adult figure at that age? How would you feel if that person got up and left the next day? It's an incredibly difficult episode for any kid to deal with. Roquan's coach is absolutely right. There's little that separates Michigan, Alabama and their ilk in terms of facilities, prestige, etc. Relationships matter very, very much. If you're too thick headed to understand that, then stop posting here. There's a lot of recruits that visit these sorts of web sites, and I'd rather they not see you as a representation of the University of Michigan fanbase. Grow up.


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Title] You're not a fan [Body]

Output: of really, really good football players?


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Title] Not enough is being made [Body]

Output: of how good this signing is for Detroit. I know it's our immediate inclination to poop on anything the Lions do, but signing Golden Tate was an excellent move - and could prove to be a huge steal for just 31 million. -As someone above mentioned, his drop rate is the best amongst WRs since 2011. -In 2013, he led all qualified receivers in Yards After Catch per reception -In 2013, he also led all WRs in Missed Tackles forced. He avoided 21. Calvin, by comparison, avoided 13. This is an excellent signing no matter how you slice it. Him and Calvin is a scary, scary duo. Of course, this will all be moot when Jim Caldwell farts all over him.

Input: [Date] 2 years 6 weeks ago [Title] You [Body]

Output: are really creepy.


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Title] Let's see [Body]

Output: The player renderings in the game look exactly the same as previous iterations. The ratings are dumbfounding as usual. And the lemmings will continue to dish out $60 for this rubbish. Good job; Good effort, guys. Go play a real EA game like FIFA instead. This franchise checked out a long, long time ago. (PS: I too am a huge fan of the 06 NCAA soundtrack. Good call.)


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] You are correct, sir [Body]

Output: And really, if we haven't been so logjammed with second-tier wingers, he would have been up by now. Hell, he might have been up 2 years ago on some of the crappier teams in the NHL. He's a damn good prospect.


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: Nyquist and Anderson were both eligible. And it was indeed a ridiculous talent boost. They were losing that series before they got there.


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Yep [Body]

Output: Nyquist and Anderson are shoo-in full timers in Detroit next year. Tatar should be as well. Guys like Sheahan and Ferraro (boy has he turned it around) have outside shots. Calle Jarnkrok, who had a 9 game stint with the Griffins not too long ago, has been hailed as the best Swede import since Zetterberg - and indeed he has broken a lot of his SEL rookie records. He could make the big club straight out of camp next year, though he'll most likely stick with the Griffins. And I believe Martin Frk will join the Griffins next year as well. The Vowel-less Wonder just finished up a Memorial Cup run averaging 2 PPG(!!!) in which his team basically raped and pillaged the entire junior hockey world. I think they went 77-8-5 or something crazy like that.


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Title] People should pay attention to the Grifs [Body]

Output: Detroit's prospect pool has become pretty deep the past few years, and a lot of these guys in GR may very well be in Red Wings uniforms next year. Take notice of the job our scouting has done, guys. With no early picks, we've managed to put together a farm system that's ranked near the top of the league. Seriously. Here's a juicy tidbit for ya: 4 different defenseman prospects in the Wings system won their leagues respect Defenseman of the Year trophys - and one of them, Ryan Sproul, was the OHL Defenseman of the Year. Take a look at the past winners of that trophy. That is a definitively Big Deal. So for all of us who are clamoring for more help - be patient. The future is looking very, very bright for Detroit. This so-called rebuilding phase is about to be usurped by another era of outstanding homegrown talent.


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Title] My take: [Body]

Output: Ah, nothing like the sweet smell of seeping douche in the afternoon. Went this far? You're a disgruntled fan complaining about playcalling after a loss on an internet message board. Taking a step outside right now without a t-shirt is more courageous. Bravo.


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Title] The fact that you let stuff like this [Body]

Output: upset you, is just so damn disappointing. And embarrassing, quite frankly. Step away from the computer, breathe the fresh air outside, and let the 18-22 year olds celebrate however the fuck they want.


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Title] Er [Body]

Output: You took the minor point I made and drove it off a cliff, but alright?


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Title] Wasn't so hot against Rodgers and Brees? [Body]

Output: You don't say! A little brevity is important here. profootballfocus, which examines and grades players on a per-play basis, had Berry ranked as one of the few CBs in the league with a positive coverage rating. Regardless of what you may think, the evidence shows he is - at the very least - NOT a bad cornerback. The Lions are in desperate need of guys in the secondary who don't suck. As it stands, they've got two average guys(Houston, Delmas) and a whole lot of To Be Determined's.


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Title] Big blow for the Lions [Body]

Output: Personal conduct aside, this a huge hit for the Lions' secondary. Berry was far better than most will give him credit for here - he was Detroit's best CB on a per-play basis, and looked to possess some Pro Bowl potential with a full season of starting under his belt. One of those mid-round picks really needs to pan out. And soon.


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Title] Delusion. [Body]

Output: This dude has it: I'm done. THROUGH with Penn State. Our leaders have failed us. The Freeh report was all conjecture, and there is damn near nothing to tie Joe Paterno or the athletic department in with this entire mess. Yet, our leaders accepted it without even bothering to READ it first. And they’re going to blindly accept these NCAA sanctions. And they continue to let Joe Paterno be the main scapegoat here. What is going on? Its one thing for the media to rush to judgement, but our own leaders? This DOES smell like a cover-up, but not one by Paterno. No, this is a TRUE cover-up by the Board of Trustees. They are more than willing to make this a “football scandal” so nobody digs deeper into the REAL scandal. This is not a failure of a football culture, this is a POLITICAL scandal. Where is the investigation into the relationship between the Board of Trustees, Harrisburg and The Second Mile? MILLIONS in campaign donations and state grants were exchanged between the Second Mile, politicians and key Board members – THAT is the scandal and THAT is what the Board doesn’t want to come out. And THAT is why they allow the football team to be the scapegoat. The Board of Trustees has something to hide. And I will NOT be a part of my alma mater again until they are all removed from those positions.

Output: I'll focus on EAs much better FIFA and NHL franchises yet again, I suppose. I've been dying to get back into football for years, but EA continues to shit out absolute dogshit with their NCAA and Madden lineups.

Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Title] As a Gunners fan [Body]

Output: I sure hope they're not after Dempsey, and it appears they're not - thankfully. He's a great player, sure, but Arsenal needs to have bigger aspirations and signing a 29 year old forward/mid tweener without great pace isn't a need. He doesn't really fit in their 4-3-3. I do hope Deuce plays CL football somewhere, though.


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Land Suter [Body]

Output: and regardless of whatever else happens, the offseason is an A+. It'd be nice to land Parise, but that's not happening, and I don't like the price tag for a guy like Nash (huge contract hit, loss of really good young prospects, locked up until 2018). If a guy like Bobby Ryan is available, he might be worth the gamble - but I'm content with staying put up front and letting our farm system grow. And if we can flip Franzen for someone, that'd be fine by me too.

Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Body] I think its a sensible strategy for Notre Dame. If they're going to be playing Clemson, FSU, Miami, they should be recruiting kids away from those schools, thereby weakening their opponents (to at least some degree). If Michigan focused only nationally, the MSUs / Wisconsins would get better players from the only footprint they can recruit and would become stronger opponents, while we're sapping away the best recruits from schools we dont even play [Title]

In this case, I would actually agree that the 5.3yds/carry is the right stat line. Given his reported talent, I think its more likely that opposing defenses may be able to contain him for at most 90% of his carries, but sooner or later he's going to rip off a long run, and be closer to that 5.3 number [Title]

Output: I don't know, yes Oregon is


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] This is a very good post, it's a fair assessment of where we are in terms of our tier of teams. Our best year in that time frame also came in osu's best year unfortunately, so luck has a lot to do with that list. hokes ability to recruit and teach tough football, and yes, Dave Brandons willingness to upgrade facilities and play the money game are putting us in a good spot to capitalize on luck when it inevitably comes our way [Title]

Output: This is a very good post,


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Eh, I'm not concerned. Hoke is definitely the right guy for the job. Just because Borges cant fit his system to his players doesn't mean he's a bad coach - he could be really good at doing one thing well Ultimately, I think it comes down to the talent level. Attrition and poor seasons are going to make it hard to catch up but if this coaching staff can bring in two top 5 classes after what happened in 08-11, imagine what they'll do after a couple of years of fairly strong performances. We weren't able to beat more talented or more stable programs but the teams we should beat, we did soundly. Good things ahead [Title]

Output: Eh, I'm not concerned. Hoke


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] 8-4 was what people were expecting before we saw how bad the big ten was this year...

Output: This is a very good post, it's a fair assessment of where we are in terms of our tier of teams. Our best year in that time frame also came in osu's best year unfortunately, so luck has a lot to do with that list. hokes ability to recruit and teach tough football, and yes, Dave Brandons willingness to upgrade facilities and play the money game are putting us in a good spot to capitalize on luck when it inevitably comes our way


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Eh, I'm not concerned. Hoke [Body]

Output: Eh, I'm not concerned. Hoke is definitely the right guy for the job. Just because Borges cant fit his system to his players doesn't mean he's a bad coach - he could be really good at doing one thing well Ultimately, I think it comes down to the talent level. Attrition and poor seasons are going to make it hard to catch up but if this coaching staff can bring in two top 5 classes after what happened in 08-11, imagine what they'll do after a couple of years of fairly strong performances. We weren't able to beat more talented or more stable programs but the teams we should beat, we did soundly. Good things ahead


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Title] 8-4 was what people were [Body]

Output: 8-4 was what people were expecting before we saw how bad the big ten was this year... That said, besides Denard, we lack a game-changing type player on offense that you need to break a couple of these games our way. We'll get those recruits as we continue to improve so I still think the future is bright


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Title] Wow, I remember this post [Body]

Output: Wow, I remember this post especially the line: "a little worried about those things in life you worry about when you're a younger man." Reminds me my concerns now will probably not last forever. I'm not even down but that brightened my outlook.


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Yeah we seem to lose them but [Body]

Output: Yeah we seem to lose them but we suffered through 3 really bad seasons, it's pretty amazing we're even sniffing top 5 classes back to back. Once this program starts rolling again, we can complain about missing out on the studs


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Title] I hate the SEC as much as [Body]

Output: I hate the SEC as much as anyone but I think 6 years of decisive national championship wins (to one loss), should get the winner of that conference into the NC game. I'd also bet that happens if either Georgia or Bama wins the SECCG by a big margin.


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Title] So you'd prefer the gloating [Body]

Output: So you'd prefer the gloating that at least they made it to the national championship game

Output: Ha, that website is so amateur


Input: [Date] 5 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I am totally for that. In addition I support more regular shapes, a larger band, and better shows. Will any of this happen? nope. What you can do!- if you know any current band members suggest show ideas to them. They get up to 3 "votes" on suggestions for next seasons tunes. Usually the students only get to influence 1 show, but if they all suggest a really cool idea, that would be one show that's really good at least. [Title]

Output: Totally


Input: [Date] 5 years 34 weeks ago [Body] anyone in sections 4-25 during the game, you have basically no chance to hear the band. Welcome to physics. That's how sound works, and most of these are directional instruments. Anyone from 26-3 should expect to hear something, although depending on where you are not so much. For pregame 20-26 should expect to hear most of it except for when they play towards the end zones. Half time is basically the same thing minus when they pity the non-pressbox side. Also, cutting instruments will not make the band louder unless you know a whole bunch of kids who want to audition for trumpet and trombone. Last couple of years, those numbers have been down and it has hurt the overall volume level. Hate to sound like the football team, but yes it matters how many players the band has. Not saying Boerma isn't too blame, (which he very much is) but it's saying something when the band can't fill the quota for trombone players (one of the loudest instruments). [Title]

Output: ATTENTION!


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Body] I've been waiting for anyone to bring this up. 4 games in 7 days. I know they didn't practice Monday(travel/rest day), so they have had probably 1 or 2 days of practice since Beilein has noticed all these issues. What did you really think would get fixed? Long season, plenty of games to earn those "quality wins" so sack up and lets watch some basketball. [Title]

Output: THANK YOU!


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Body] Funny you mention illegal, I thought I just heard Keith Jackson say that UM was the most penalized team in the country. I'm not saying it's not a GREAT defense, but you'd think a Carr team would be anti-penalty. Maybe it was just the young gusto Carr being overly aggressive (too bad that didn't last) to get big hits etc. Note- He said this while UM was on defense but I have no clue what the breakdown was. Anyone else laughing how different football was 11 years ago? even the production value seems so retro. [Title]

Output: Most penalized team?


Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Body] I can not wait to hear what LINDA(!) has to say about all this. [Title]

Output: Linda


Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Body] Ok, I think you might be reading a bit much into that quote. Regardless, why not grant it for the 5th year? we still have an open scholarship for Trey, and if manny leaves(likely) we will have two open ships. Is there anyone else we are in on that we would need an extra scholarship or two going into next season that would necessitate forcing out a great team player? [Title]

Output: Why?


Input: [Date] 5 years 41 weeks ago [Body] I'm a huge fan of this type of research. This is what truly makes this board so great in that it gives us ways to suggest new metrics/ideas. I think this rating tool could be added into UFR and would be meaningful. The best part is that it doesn't even introduce anything new, just views them differently. It's a simple plug and chug addition. Once again kudos. [Title]

Output: Huge Fan


Input: [Date] 5 years 42 weeks ago [Body] Yes he is still at PSU,and yeah Garrett Graham is pretty darn good. [Title]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 5 years 46 weeks ago [Body] FWIW the halftime selection for this week is of the RAWK variety and not of the alumni pleasing variety so we'll see if that makes any difference in the discussion. [Title]

Output: Rawkband


Input: [Date] 5 years 46 weeks ago [Body] I know nothing about the numbers over a long period of time, but was simply relating the idea that we only have a band of brass is impractical based on the auditioning members currently. In addition there is no disputing that there are fewer members than there has been of late as it's come down from over 350ish to more like 320ish. I think topgun has the right idea that it's related to football success as sad as that is based on the evidence provided by the years after 97 when the band ballooned in size. [Title]

Output: That may be


Input: [Date] 5 years 46 weeks ago [Body] I was a member of the MMB recently and can tell you that they have been bleeding members the last 3 years. The band is down to around 320ish I believe and has been well over 400 at times. Part of this is a new musical cap put in place to promote musicality, but this does not explain the recent lack of people auditioning. This is especially true of Trombones and Trumpets who usually get no more than 20-25 people auditioning for about 15 spots. Of those 20, only maybe 13 or 14 are college level musicians. To give you a real number example, there are only around 40 trombones in this years band and they will take up to 60+. 20 Trombones is a huge difference in sound and balance of a band. It pains me to say it, but there is not the interest in bands that their once was and the lack of interest more than anything else has to be partly responsible in the lack of noise. This is not an excuse* for a lack of noise, but something to be considered. *(see Charlie Weis for example of excuses) [Title]

Output: To give you some perspective

Output: I am correct in assuming this is sarcasm, correct?


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] The main flaw is that you are [Body]

Output: The main flaw is that you are taking final rankings and comparing them to rankings that are about a year away from being final. There are huge changes in rankings during the summer going into players senior year and the fall of their senior year. This is because a lot of players get evauluated during the summer (which is exactly what has happened with these 2 *'s.) It will not surprise me if a lot of these .85 and lower players are actually quite a bit higher come the final rankings.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Title] That is not true. The guys [Body]

Output: That is not true. The guys harbaugh is offering are still plan a type guys and he obviously really wants them. However as the year progresses you need to move on to plan b and c when your plan a guys dont commit. These guys the coaches like, but aren't necessarily exactly what they want. So they dont always really want them, but they have to fill needs.
