Output: same with me. In section 21 I


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] Other Starting pg's-Beverley, Felton, Rubio, even Trey are all comparable athletes to Walton. If he makes a sophomore leap similar to Morris, there's no reason he couldn't go pro as early as next year. The way I see it playing out: Walton, Irvin, and Chatman will all have decisions to make and LeVert should plan on going pro next season. Heck, even Mark Donnal and DJ Wilson could be pro prospects within two years. [Title]

Output: Other Starting pg's


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] felt like when Gallon started the game with an 80+ yard catch the crowd got really into it. Than there was the fight and it was utter bedlam for the next 3 quarters. I definitely think "consistently " is the perfect word because the crowd really was into it for the whole game. I thought it was way louder than UTL 2 but not as loud as the 4th quarter of UTL1. From the time I was in the stadium till the second OSU intercepted the 2 point conversion it may have been thebest atmosphere i've seen at the big house. [Title]

Output: felt like when Gallon started


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] Couldn't agree more with this. Today's game was nothing like 2009, probably 20% OSU fans and they had no impact on the game. From start to finish, I thought this was one of the best crowds in the last 10 years. [Title]

Output: Couldn't agree more with


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] When I was walking into the stadium, an OSU student was so drunk she attempted to swipe her OSU ID through the Ticket scanners. Mind you this wasn't the student entrance, and she had no clue where her ticket was/what a ticket is. After trying to plead her case that the ticket was in the ID, the guy scanning tickets motioned for a police officer to come over. The girl decided to make a break for it. This didn't go well. she couldn't figure out how the turnstyle worked and attempted to go under it. This was surprisingly successful until it came to getting back up. Not sure how the story ended, but I imagine she took a nice ride to U of M hospital. [Title]

Output: When I was walking into the


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] From start to finish, it was one of the best atmospheres I've seen at Michigan stadium. Crowd was so engaged from the beginning, and after the fight it was just wild. Also, there wasn't nearly as much red as 2009, probably 20-25% which isn't great, but I was expecting worse. Been to every Michigan-OSU home game since 2001, and I can't recall a time the crowd "brought it" the whole damn game. I wouldn't trade that experience for anything.( well except a win of course) [Title]

Output: From start to finish, it was


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] I'd agree that McGary should start getting the majority of the minutes, but I think it's unnecessary to start him and risk picking up an early foul. . Even if Morgan is hurt, I think Beilein starts Horford (already did it in the 2nd half of the Ilinois game) In the end, McGary will play more minutes and finish the game as long as his foul situation allow him to. [Title]

Output: start Horford


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Fair enough [Body]

Output: This is not my attempt to clog the board or to be a tool. I don't read every post so I missed yours, I apologize. I was just thinking about that conversation I had a couple weeks ago and thought that with no movement from our end, we better have a good back-up plan if we can't land Harbaugh. I am much more intreagued by Tressel than Mullen, Schiano or field.


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 6 days ago [Title] If trolled [Body]

Output: If I was trolled, then my mentor would have been trolled too. I have nothing to gain, obviously, by posting this, but I thought it would create some good convo to break up the waiting. Clearly, many of you have a hard time thinking outside the box, and that is fine. I just wanted to post what I thought was interesting and if Brian gets paid on hits, then I'm doing my part to pay the bills. This is not a stunt.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 6 days ago [Title] FWIW [Body]

Output: A mentor of mine who is close to the program (played at UofM from '73-76') and has ties to Stanford said that Harbaugh is not the head case the media makes him out to be. That combined with another friend who worked grounds for the Colts' summer camps, said he was a very good guy. Word on the street is that Hensley his SF assistants go on date nights while he watches their kids. I don't beleive these are fabrications so I'm not too worried about his character.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 1 day ago [Title] We already have this...... [Body]

Output: "If he decided to go to college, there are absolutely no athletic scholarships. He goes to get his degree, and there is no financial incentive whatsoever to play football (or any other sport). These students are 100% students, and the school's athletic teams are truly, purely created from the men and women who choose to attend that school. To me, this sounds like the legendary days of football yore. The quality of football would never be as good as it is today, but the sense of identity to the men on the field would, in my opinion, be strengthened. Students would watch the games and cheer on their classmates; alumni would think "that could have been me out there battling for my school!" It's called Division III. As a 3-year letterman in football for a DIII school, this sums up my experience.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Title] 2014 [Body]

Output: That, football fans, is what 21st century football looks like. I'm sorry RR for the Michigan arrogance, would you be willing to come back? *Ive been a RR guy since Sheridan was throwing "dead cats".


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Sorry Guys [Body]

Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] This^^^^^ [Body]

Output: I'm sure I sound like a jerk, but I just dropped my brother in law off at Gerald r Ford Int. and drove back to Holland at about 65. I am fortunate enough to have AWD so it is an advantage, but we are more used to the crappy conditions because of the more frequent snowfall(it seems we've had measurable snow over here everyday since Thanksgiving), like Clarence said. I did laugh at the 40mph comment. NOT because I'm some cool, awesome, snow-driving showboat, but because it's my take that driving that slow is just as dangerous. Neg away you east-siders! In my defense, I was passed by a honda civic.

Output: He will be corrected for not taking a more downhill path on that pull. If he does this then he meets the tackler at a better point of attack and allows Fitz to see the hole quicker. But for goodness sakes, that is knitpicky for the first game! He showed some great footwork!

Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Recent blog article [Body]

Output: Here is a blog article that I found on MGoBlog and found the facts to be interesting. Lineman had a much higher rate of collisions, therefore exposing them to a greater chance of brain damage. If you were to ask me who I thought would be the most damaged I would have said DB's and LB's. http://joelvanderlugt.wordpress.com/2012/12/11/concussions/


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Exactly [Body]

Output: This thread represents what's great about the Internet. Many opinions and some good discussion. People who can't see this as a valid discussion don't understand what football can do for you personally. We are losing great men for a reason that can be directly connected to something we can change.


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Title] Personal Input [Body]

Output: I haven't chimed in on the blog in awhile but I am so passionate about this subject that I feel the need tonight. Personal story time so skip if you think it might be lame. I am a 33 year old man who started playing football in 5th grade and ended after a 4-year career at a small DIII school here in Michigan. I was a 3-year letterman and played those three years on the line. I recently have battled a bought of depression, mood-swings and memory loss, although the memory loss has been a longer issue than depression or mood-swings. The depression has required meds, but the funny thing is that I have what one would call a perfect life. Smokin' hot and smart wife who is the bread-winner, fulfilling job, two beautiful and healthy kids and not much debt other than student loans and a mortgage. Depression happens for many reasons but it really does not run in my family and again, I have no reason to hate life or be disinterested. I have always been a jovial guy but over the last year or so my moods have swung. Like previously stated, my memory has always been weak but I have always chalked that up to being lazy about details. What I am getting at is that I believe this Jr. Seau thing is no joke. The game we love, play, and worship needs to change. I don't want to lose this beautiful sport. I learned 95% about being a husband, father and man on the football field with my coaches and teammates. However, we have baby #3 on the way and if it is a boy(other two are girls), I will not let him play football. That kills me to write, but something needs to change. Again, I may not have CTE and what we know about it is very little, but you are lying to yourself if you think collisions in the game of football aren't damaging to the brain. If there are any Dr.'s out there that would like to use my brain for scans I would be more than happy to donate my time and energy to help the progression of education with CTE and other collision related brain diseases. I would, however, prefer the procedure where you can keep me alive. Blessings

Output: Was that Sharp asking the last question to Denard? Whoever it was, what a douche! One of the best talents we have ever seen, of course much if not all of the offense is going to rely on him....he does touch the ball every play. That is as short as I've ever seen Denard and I thought he handled that stupid ass question with grace.


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Uhhhh [Body]

Output: PAIN


Input: [Date] 2 years 46 weeks ago [Title] It gets better [Body]

Output: I am almost 33 with a 7yo and 4yo. Having a child takes the edge off but the loss and game plan still leave a bad taste in your mouth. But you do realize that there IS more to life than Michigan football. My theory on the game plan is that while you play to win every game, this was a lose lose from about the first offensive possession. I think Borges put the cards away early and decided not to do anything stupid, panic and throw the kitchen sink at them once the writing was on the wall. Yes, that sounds like giving up but there are 11 very important games left.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] I appreciate this post today [Body]

Output: Thanks for the transparency and GO BLUE! It will be refreshing to say the least, to see the boys come running out onto that field.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] 1987 Long Beach State [Body]

Output: Snooooooozer, unless you were 7 and it was your first time in the Big House! Jamie Morris ripped off a huge run after his shoe was pulled off. That is my one big memory from the game. It was with my cousin, Dad and grandfather so it was a special time. GO BLUE!


Input: [Date] 3 years 36 weeks ago [Title] It's Friday.... [Body]

Output: So I have a little spare time. I watched that play again about 10 times and noticed that this is a very arbitrary argument I have with Brian's assessment. I think we need to agree that the D-lineman just got one over on us there. Huyge really doesn't have the time to wait(so I can't blame him) but he could have thrown out his left meat hook and helped. It looks almost if he would have had to take a step left and that is a no no. We are blessed to have a blog like this to have this very conversation. Thanks Brian for what you do around here!


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 12 hours ago [Body] According to Forbes, the Lions are the only NFL team to lose money last year, and have done so for 4 straight years. [Title]

Output: Nope


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Body] And they could easily fit him in if they weren't paying the corpses of Franzen and Weiss to not play hockey the last 2 years. They signed Weiss to literally the same contract as Filpulla and got zero out of him. That's a giant fuck up [Title]

Output: Filpulla would be 5th in points on the wings


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Body] but if you are OK with just throwing those guys away for literally nothing, then it's a fine deal [Title]

Output: They gave up a top 50 prospect


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Body] either that or you've forgotten about signing Weiss, or trading for Legwand, or lettting Filpulla go, or going half a decade needing to add defense and somehow not managing to do it once. He's drafted well and managed to not make any super nova fuck ups with a core of established players but it's a stretch to say he's done a particularly good job lately, especially considering his great drafting is due in large part to Andersson's excellent scouting. It's probably time for him to move on to greener pastures and let someone who can actually go out and get some free agent or trade help take over. He's set them up nicely for the future, but the team is going to need a change of leadership from the top down if it wants to bring this young group of players to cup contention. [Title]

Output: That's being a bit generous


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Which seems a little dumb to me. Schools with a lot of green probably should avoid this. [Title]

Output: It's Grey


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Like, historic beast. He's a 3 time champ already, going for 4 this year, and he would only be the fourth wrestler in history to win 4 NCAA titles. I'm not sure on an exact count but I'm pretty sure he's lost less than 10 matches since starting high school, and most of them were close matches to older, multi-championship winning wrestlers like David Taylor. [Title]

Output: Steiber is a beast


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I'm pretty sure that is a scene from the movie Dogma, and time is frozen around the main characters whilst some dilemna or plot point is laid out. [Title]

Output: Finally, I contribute something of value


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 2 days ago [Body] It would, in fact, be surprising if the Lions made the super bowl. [Title]

Output: They've won a single playoff game in 57 years


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Dom lost to the youngest Rizgallah, 4-3. I hope Coon makes the Olympics, almost entirely because that means we would get to enjoy post olympic redshirt year wrestling, which is always awesome. That's how you end up with guys like Jake Herbert teching the #2 kid in the country [Title]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Is that you could damn near walk from campus to St. Johns, and yet every single wrestler from there goes to Michigan. They were OK as a team when they had the Simmons and I think Boudro, they've had a few scattered AA and a champ since then, but that's almost entirely a result of being in a wrestling rich area. I would like to say that a big part of why that gap is starting to grow is Michigan's willingness to spend. McFarland was able to hire 2 huge name assistant coaches a few years ago from the olympic program, and Michigan has probably the nicest wrestling practice facility in college. [Title]

Output: All you need to know about MSU wrestling


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 3 days ago [Body] My phone is trolling me with that feature, as I will now demonstrate by typing a name. Brady Hoke is a very innovative and visionary offensive mind. [Title]

Output: Did you know


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Still more work in college. Acquiring players is just a much more time consuming task in CFB than it is in the NFL. [Title]

Output: Nah


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 6 days ago [Body] This feels like the kind of article that gets written when some big wig see's the "48 Million Dollar" report on TV and calls the office saying "I just saw an obscenely large number next to a dollar sign on Sportscenter, get the sports econ dude on this!" which then causes him to get on real quick and stretch 2 regurgitated talking points into an article because there isn't any real sports econ story here. Not that he's necessarily wrong, Harbaugh might stay in the NFL for those reasons, it just seems lazily written and out of this guys wheelhouse [Title]

Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Body] So they take this team, which is already relatively old and not that good, and dump 20 million in salary, plus either the money to pay their picks or the picks themselves in the draft. They are going to win maybe 7 games then have to flat out cut starters this off season. They are a tire fire [Title]

Output: They are 20 million over the cap next year


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Body] "Jim, before I take this job, there's one thing I absolutely have to do. I'm gonna need your plane, I'm going to need the entirety of my contract, in full, in non sequential peso's, 20 pounds of rotel and velveeta, and one of those bomb suits. Yeah, like from the hurt locker" [Title]

Output: I can see it now


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Body] going from the worst OF in the game to Cespedes is a huge upgrade, and he's at least as good offensively as Hunter [Title]

Output: He's a GIANT improvement defensively


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Body] He's not coming to Michigan, but New Orleans is going to be a trainwreck next year, and he's just watching it slowly crash. It wouldn't absolutely shock me if he took another NFL job because he doesnt' want to be stuck in rebuild mode [Title]

Output: That might be bullshit


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Body] It was 3. You can get Simon's production off the damn scrap heap, you don't need to be trading players for it. [Title]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Body] He was incredibly lucky over the first half of last year, he's much more the guy who had a 4.5 era in the second half of the year. That is hot ass garbage in the NL. [Title]

Output: He's hot ass garbage

Output: Much like the 49'ers O-line


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Body] They went from being probably the best unit in football to not very good at all in a year. Without that killer run game defenses have been able to key in on Kaepernick, and though he's a very good QB, he's not in the class of guys who can beat you even if you gameplan entirely around stopping them. [Title]

Output: O-line regression is probably the biggest culprit

Output: Sorry


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 3 days ago [Body] It's absolutely fascinating. He's not dumb, he's fairly well versed in like, the space program, he's relatively religious, he has a warped up in depth knowledge of history. Like, one second he's saying how ridiculous it is that someone thinks we faked the moon landing, and his next tweet is about how aliens built the pyramids. [Title]

Output: I follow him on Twitter


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 8 hours ago [Body] I'll be he's got some say though. Just because you don't have a job title doesn't mean you have zero influence on the decisions made by the university, and there are ways to buy that influence other than cash. [Title]

Output: Stephen Ross doesn't either


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 8 hours ago [Body] It wasn't all sunshine and fucking rainbows [Title]

Output: I was at the Oregon game


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 8 hours ago [Body] He's Ferentz. If you gave Ferentz what Harbaugh left Shaw, I'm convinced the exact same thing would have happened. Terrible game manager, archaic offense. It works if you can absolutely destroy up front, which Ferentz has been able to do every 3 or 4 years when he develops a full O-line together, and Shaw had when he was left with what remained of the Harbaugh O-lineman, but it's not a great strategy. Shaw isn't a bad coach, and he could probably get Michigan to be what Nebraska was under Pelini due to the slight recruiting advantage he would have over Ferentz, but I'm not thrilled about hiring a guy who probably has a ceiling of what just got Nebraska's coach fired. [Title]

Output: He's not Hoke


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 8 hours ago [Body] It just can't be, there are too many moving parts in a coaching search. No one outside of Schembechler hall and the search firm Hackett has been talking to needed to know about this news, and even then he could have kept his forays into looking for a coach vague enough that no one would come forward as a strong source. This is different though, you're going to have to have much more direct conversations with interested parties, and those parties are well outside of Hackett's control at the moment. Harbaugh, Miles, Mullen, every candidate he talks to that would seriously consider the job is going to tell someone. Whether that be Harbaugh or Miles talking it over with family/friends to try to come to a decision or Mullen going to his AD to see if he can't get a contract to match what Michigan is willing to pony up, there will be loose ends that can't be tied off. [Title]

Output: The lid won't be as tight


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Body] And it looks like the Michigan faithful have elected.... The muppets..... The muppets are going to coach Michigan.... Animal would be a hell of a recruiting coordinator. He's basically a slightly more hairy Coach O. [Title]

Output: The results are in!


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Like, I'm reaching out to Howard Schnellenberger before Schiano. He might be ahead of O'Neal, actually. [Title]

Output: Schiano is literally last on my list


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Big 2, little 8? Remember that? Take out the stuff before forward passing was invented and Nebraska is on even footing with Michigan. [Title]

Output: What was that old nickname for the big ten?


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Those are only allowed when they confirm our beliefs in old school man football! Defense! Run the ball! Also would love to point out that was facing a conference that might not have a single offense as bad as half of the big ten [Title]

Output: Stop it with your filthy facts


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I mean maybe he is a one side of the ball guy, but he's more than one play. The dude knows offense and is well respected in the coaching community. Just because he's not a great candidate for Michigan right now doesn't make him "lol basically a high school coach with one play" [Title]

Output: Hes constantly putting up crazy offensive numbers


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I mean, big bang theory pulls like a 4.5, walking dead is damn near 9. Talking dead might out draw BBT by now. [Title]

Output: Not even close


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Since Gimple took over. The Hospital was a complete departure this year, and they obviously aren't doing a shot for shot remake, but they hit on a lot of the big moments. The scene tonight with Rick by the parking garage was straight out of how he dealt with the cannibals in the comics. If you are interested in that stuff, Gimple did a great episode of Girl on Guy recently where he talked about how he translates the comic to a show and working on it as a fan of the comics. It's very, very VERY spoiler heavy though, including a gigantic comic spoiler the show has not gotten to yet. [Title]

Output: They've been pretty close


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Who's name escapes me. But yeah, charismatic nice guy in WAAAAY over his head? That's Brady [Title]

Output: He will be the head of Alexandria


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Body] He was never going to get fired, he's too valuable a commodity and Baalke isn't going to just kick him to the curb for nothing. They can't trade him until well after the super bowl, well after the coaching search will be resolved, and he was going to have to use whatever buyout clause he has in his contract anyway. The trade rumors change nothing. If anything that fact that the rumored destinations would have him working under Reggie McKenzie or John Idzik make it less likely he stays in the pros. [Title]

Output: Still depends entirely on him


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Is one of the coordinators has to be a guy you are OK with taking over the program when he leaves. He's old enough that you have to plan for his retirement, and the program has had too much turmoil to go through another culture change in 5 years. If he can grab a big name offensive coordinator (not Cameron or Loeffler, please god not them) and bring Chavis or even just Pelini along for a few years, you can probably find someone in that group who can keep a program at a 10ish win level. [Title]

Output: The one thing you need with Miles


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 3 days ago [Body] anytime they go up against an offense with a pulse they put up 35. He's good, not great. [Title]

Output: Sorry, he doesn't get a pass


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 4 days ago [Body] The faux concern over player injury was pretty bad. He also catches some flack, maybe not fairly, for the "#karma" tweet by his wife. He's certainly can coach football though [Title]

Output: I think it was the way that was presented


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Plus, he's running one of the top offense's in D2 while recruiting players to a school that is about as hard to get into as Michigan, only it's 1/10th the size. I know he's not a realistic candidate but damn it he's a good football coach and I hope someone hires him so I can see him at work more often. [Title]

Output: One of the best


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Is the key phrase. The SEC title, which LSU won that year. [Title]

Output: "smoked the SEC"


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I mean, if they hire Schiano? Or another uninspiring candidates? Plus, what in the last decade would lead you to believe Michigan will be in the title hunt? [Title]

Output: Problem is I don't have faith in that


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] There is no way to predict anything and we shouldn't even try because occaisionally things don't work out. Probability isn't even a thing! It's all just fucking random chance! Let's hire a fucking fifth grade to coach football because no one fucking knows anything! [Title]

Output: yep, nothing is worth anything


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Maybe someone who has run or even been involved in an athletic department before? [Title]

Output: Oh, I don't know


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I don't think the fan experience stuff will be as much of an issue with him because, well how could it be? Brandon was so bad it almost appeared as thought he was trying to fail at times. I think a lot of us aren't worried that he will become Brandon, just incredibly dissapointing that the university/Schlissel think he is the best man for the job when that is so incredibly unlikely. [Title]

Output: You're entirely correct there


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Brews like All Day IPA or Bean Flicker with lower alcohol content are great for day drinking, and generally you can find decent ones in all styles. Hell I've even had a session stout, although only on tap [Title]

Output: Look for session beers


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] after you've been hit in the head enough times you're liable to believe the sky is falling [Title]

Output: Eventually he's right


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] It's like the worst possible version of Jurassic Park only with internet comments instead of dinosaurs [Title]

Output: And now my post's are reproducing asexually


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] That he really doesn't know how to hire a good football coach, and if Harbaugh won't come he will saddle us with someone like Schiano for 4 years. [Title]

Output: Um...that's what we are worried about


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Would have the balls to charge 450 bucks for season tickets to a team that won 5 games the previous year? [Title]

Output: What other AD in the country


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] *looks back at the Hoke reaction* oh.... [Title]

Output: "Almost everything has turned out different than we expected"


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] But it's not likely, and even if he wants to theres effectively zero chance he's the best person to implement those plans. You and others pretend like there is absolutely no way to have an opinion on something until it plays out in it's entirety, which is asinine. To think that there is a non negligible chance that Hackett is the best candidate for the job is complete and utter lunacy. Sure, this might work out, but that's what people were saying about Brady Hoke. It's yet another in a long line of screw ups by the university with regards to the football team [Title]

Output: If he does those things then great


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] When you have a wealth of experienced and incredibly qualified candidates out there. Yeah, maybe not all of them would take the job, but there would be one. If you aren't willing to outbid Boston College or fucking UConn for the guy who will run one of the biggest athletic departments in the country you seriuosly need to reevaluate some things. [Title]

Output: This goes doubly so


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Which is why he's gone, and it's why it's pretty reasonable to be worried that the person making one of the most important decisions in the history of the football program has no experience in those decisions whatsoever. [Title]

Output: But he didn't


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Keep thinking this is mostly about him being a CEO though, it helps drown out the common sense that screams how fucking stupid this is [Title]

Output: Zero experience


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] It's about him having precisely zero experience running or even being involved in an athletic department. [Title]

Output: It's not about him being a CEO


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] For new Michigan Football Head Coach Scot Loeffler [Title]

Output: Boy, you must be excited


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Body] We just need to be patient. Sure the football program has been a disaster for a decade, but be patient. This upcoming football hire will be one of the most important in the history of the University, but shouldn't we give the guy with zero fucking experience a chance? What's the worst that could happen, another 4 years of terrible football and a deeper hole to dig out of? Just be patient [Title]

Output: This guy knows what up


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 1 day ago [Body] And the offense is hot garbage. This Lions team is still not a very good football team, and they've been helped by some ridiculously luck and an easy schedule. Next year they will be back to the same old Lions [Title]

Output: It is a part though


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Just the nature of the beast. [Title]

Output: That's most big time fan bases


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 1 hour ago [Body] He wins. There aren't gonna be any perfect candidates, Graham is at least a good coach. [Title]

Output: So?


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Stahp. Pleez. [Title]

Output: No


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 3 days ago [Body] But....ya done goofed [Title]

Output: I'm not gonna pile on


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 6 days ago [Body] That doesn't mean I'd be happy if it happens. [Title]

Output: We could do worse than a collective kick to the nuts


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Who never should have got the job. RR is a damn good coach who was screwed by the University. [Title]

Output: Because Hoke is a shitty coach


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 23 hours ago [Body] It would mean you are on offense.... So... Not sure what you are getting at [Title]

Output: If you steal the other teams defensive calls


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Seems to have a good grasp of who to hire, has had success in a lot of things despite not being at a university necessarily known as an athletic powerhouse. [Title]

Output: I actual like him a lot


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 2 days ago [Body] How much money does football bring in? Now how much does literally every single other sport? Are you honestly going to tell me that Alabama's AD could ever possibly get fired as long as Saban is there and he manages to not get caught in a huge controversy? Yeah, you have other responsibilities as an AD. None of them are as important as football. [Title]

Output: We live in an offensive world then


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Hire a good football coach, or don't massively fuck up elsewhere. If you do even one of those right, you keep your job. DB did neither, he deserved to be fired. [Title]

Output: You've got 2 jobs as an AD


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 2 days ago [Body] It tasted like dissapointment. [Title]

Output: I threw up a little, in my mouth


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 3 days ago [Body] So yeah... Not getting my hopes up. Not at all due to Johnson, but the O-line was demolishing Indiana. That won't happen against a team with a pulse. [Title]

Output: Right after the App State game


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Replace it with Dombrowski, and wait until just after the winter meetings. [Title]

Output: Just cross out the Brandon


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Most of the football players aren't providing a particularly high quality service at Michigan currently.... [Title]

Output: Let's be honest


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 5 days ago [Body] And we can't have that. After all, the Michigan football program is a shining beacon of excellence, and gave Rodriguez it's full support. That's why he hasn't had any success since then, I mean, if you can't win at Michigan, why would you be able to win at Arizona [Title]

Output: That would make Michigan seem bad though


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 5 days ago [Body] And west Virginia, and everywhere else! Oooor, maybe, if a guy is successful literally every single other job he has, other than at Michigan, it's a fucking Michigan problem, fergodsakes. [Title]

Output: That's why he's failing at Arizona


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I didn't know it was you [Title]

Output: Oh hi Johnny


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 2 hours ago [Body] You poor, poor soul. [Title]

Output: A Michigan fan going to Florida?


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 22 hours ago [Body] They are just symptoms of what is wrong with Brandon. [Title]

Output: These aren't the reason


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 22 hours ago [Body] These responses are things you would expect from random Internet commenters. He comes off as immature, petulant, and above all, unprofessional. The fact that he felt the need to respond to emails in any way other than standard corporate "We appreciate your input, go blue" is incredible, but to take it to this level of just douchebaggery makes it damn near unbelievable. [Title]

Output: This is just crazy


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 1 day ago [Body] All good news goes to umhoops.com [Title]

Output: For future reference


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I just can't feel bad for a guy who gets fired because he can't do his job. People get fired for waaaaaaay shittier reasons than that every day, and they don't get millions in a buy out. Hoke will be fine, a little worse on the ego front, but I'm not going to let that ruin the few weeks of hope I have that Michigan might become a national power again before we hire Scot Loeffler [Title]

Output: I'm sorry


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 1 day ago [Body] PSU has an actual, real life, honest to god football coach. Michigan has one of those monkeys you wind up that play the cymbals [Title]

Output: One problem


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Dominos had it's IPO in 2004 at about 14 dollars a share, which was kind of low for what people thought it would go at. Between then and Brandon leaving for the AD job, it rose to a high of 32 dollars a share in 2007, before completely tanking to hit 4 dollars a share in 2008. When he left Dominos in January of 2010 it had recovered slightly to about 11 dollars a share. In the nearly 5 years since then, it has risen to 87 dollars a share. So yeah, it's pretty fucking fair to say he wasn't hitting a home run with Dominos [Title]

Output: Numbers


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 2 days ago [Body] A guy paid 4 million a year to do a job he is obvious not qualified for is getting called names. [Title]

Output: Boo fucking hoo


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I mean haha porn jokes and all, but the "Sex workers are riddled with diseases" meme is kind of shitty and totally false. People in porn are subjected to regular screenings for STD's and are pretty damn careful about the sex they have outside of the work place, as one screw up could mean the end of a career. [Title]

Output: She's also been under better testing than most


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 5 days ago [Body] from.........sources [Title]

Output: I've heard that as well


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 5 days ago [Body] As in, actually, physically ill. I will undoubtably be notified of the news on twitter or via text, I will witness the words "It's Schiano" and I will void my stomach immediately [Title]

Output: If we hire Schiano I'll be sick


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 5 days ago [Body] But he is a hell of a coach, and probably one of the best defensive guys in the game right now. [Title]

Output: He's probably not a college guy


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Regent Illitch was actually an interdimensional multi-consciousness harnessed in one body, that voted 6 times to keep Dave Brandon, 3 times to fire him, and abstained once due to a personal relationship. [Title]

Output: Turns out


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Weren't paying attention. He's not exactly lights out at MSU but the dude was a coordinator under Urban Meyer, has coached with Chip Kelly, and has had a lot of success just about everywhere. Mullen has been a household name for a while now [Title]

Output: People who didn't know who Mullen was


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Like, real ugly. Pretty much everyone roundly hated him in the league, he had some of that bullshit about going after players while taking a knee, he had the whole "Schiano men" thing, and above all, he had a pretty terrible team. I mean, he's ok for some programs I guess, but the situation right now doesn't need any of the toxicity he brings, especially when he has essentially zero pedigree outside of being slightly above mediocre at Rutger's while they played in pretty down conference. [Title]

Output: The tampa stuff was ugly


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Why the NFL can goooooooo fuck itself [Title]

Output: Which is just one reason


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Brandon obviously needs to go first, but the problem with the on field product is entirely Hoke's doing. Dave Brandon isn't the reason there is no player development, or atrocious clock management. I have no idea what anyone could possibly see in Brady Hoke that inspires confidence, and can think of zero reasonable scenarios in which he should be coaching Michigan next year. [Title]

Output: Hoke needs to go


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I mean, we wouldn't want anything to darken the bright rainbow unicorn fart this season has been thus far... [Title]

Output: Negative Consequences?


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 4 days ago [Body] And why I find it hard to fault anyone who doesn't, is the simple fact that if you treat people like customers, then they will behave as such. Michigan fandom isn't a family anymore, and support is now a business decision. I know that sucks for the kids, who didn't decide to gouge ticket prices or run idiotic soda promotions, but that's just how it is. There are plenty of people who bust their ass just as hard and aren't good enough at football to play it in front of 100,000 fans. [Title]

Output: My problem with showing up


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Do you really think Dave Brandon is making every single one of the string of stupid decisions he has with zero input or support from people around him in the athletic department, university, or alumni? We know Ross supports him still, and it would stand to reason that the regents at one point liked him enough to pay him very well for reasons that I'm not sure will ever be clear. He's not some mad king who gained absolute power through birth right, he was chosen for the job and he has been supported by the institution in a number of bad decisions. Skyrocketing ticket prices, the Coke promotion, the nightmare PR of the Morris concussion, the nightmare PR and general handling of the Gibbons case, the skywriting, the weird support Hoke thing he wrote. This isn't just Brandon, one person cannot fuck up so badly without some help. [Title]

Output: He's not doing this by himself


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I was like, wtf, Cinci is in the Big East, they won it like 2 years ago. Which brings me to my next point. Cinci moved from C-USA to the Big East, spent 8 years there, and won a share of the title 4 times. They were conference champs essentially 50% of the time they played in the Big East before it folded. That doesn''t really add anything to this discussion, I just think it's kinda crazy [Title]

Output: You threw me for a loop with Cincy


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] I wouldn't be dissapointed if we got him, I think he's probably a pretty damn good football coach, but he's also not someone I'm going to be super excited about. I think he's probably a notch below Dantonio, in terms of a guy who can build a program given a little time. I do think hiring an Ex-Rodgriguez asst. would be HILARIOUS though [Title]

Output: He's pretty meh


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] He's just really fucking terrible at his job, and should be fired [Title]

Output: He's not evil


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] He's 57-37 career, 2 MAC titles, 2 Big East titles. He's got Tennessee looking....better? I guess. I mean he's not Harbaugh but he's better than most candidates. [Title]

Output: He's been pretty good most places


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] You could make the same point that Michigan needs to pony up and get a guy to improve football attendance, and Michigan had like 40 million more in athletic department revenue than Tennesse last year. He was also born in Michigan and played his college ball at Ferris State. He's a very real candidate [Title]

Output: So?


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Which is to try and find out what is going on with the football team. That's a hell of a lot more than you can say for Brady Hoke [Title]

Output: They are doing their job


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Or at least shouldn't. They made a profit for the first time in a decade last year, and it was a whopping 60 grand. Tennessee is in bad shape financially [Title]

Output: They can't


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 1 day ago [Body] He makes under 3 million a year, and Tennessee probably doesn't have the extra cash to offer him a salary around what we pay Hoke currently [Title]

Output: That Jones salary is wrong


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Body] It's meth. You are now addicted to Meth. Enjoy [Title]

Output: Surprise!


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Either the man on that shirt, or the man inside of it. [Title]

Output: I would gladly take


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Probably similar reasons to why Brian Kelly was at GVSU for 12 years before taking the CMU job. Hell, Chip Kelly couldn't get a coordinator job above New Hampshire for 8 years. [Title]

Output: Don't know


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Body] After Mark Richt comes to MIchigan. Why? Mark Richt will be forced out after losing control of Todd Gurley, who will actually run through the back of the stadium, smashing building and cars in his wake, until coming to rest at an endzone somewhere in a deserted high school field in North Carolina. [Title]

Output: Yeah, he will take the Georgia job


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Body] We only have kickers who get kicked out of school for rape allegations and a left tackle who threatened the accusor. But no one is getting any tattoos!!! Seriously, cut it out with the "we are so much better than everyone" bullshit. [Title]

Output: Thank god we don't have that


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 11 hours ago [Body] Would take this Michigan team behind a woodshed and beat it like it fucking stole something [Title]

Output: His Zona team


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Body] But I will point out that 5 hookers did disappear during his time at SMU [Title]

Output: I'm not saying Craig James killed 5 hookers


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I FEEL LIKE A 14 YEAR OLD GIRL WAITING IN LINE OUTSIDE OF A JUSTIN BEIBER CONCERT!!!!!! PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN!!!!!! [Title]

Output: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Body] The Chocolate Manifesto from Flying Monkey fits the bill. Basically tastes like someone took Milkshake Stout and poured Hershey's syrup into it. [Title]

Output: Chocolate Milk Beer works better


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Body] There is a chance that later this season, in the playoffs, Slippery Rock meets future University of Michigan head football coach Bob Stitt's Colorado School of Mines Miners on the field of play. I will lose my shit [Title]

Output: Oh...mah...gawd..


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Body] In much the same way Texas did. I'm sure he would be happy to take the phone call then tell his AD that Michigan called and he needs a raise. [Title]

Output: Michigan can give him a raise


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Had some Wowee Zowee by Short's for the first time today, got a six pack of Citra Black Pale Ale by Oddside, and to make sure it was enough, broke out a bottle of Molotov Cocktail from Evil Twin that I had been saving for a time like this [Title]

Output: It's a mix


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Putting him back in without knowing 100% that he did not is just stupid. [Title]

Output: Doesn't matter if he did or not


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Body] And that is, Stitt Happens Also, if he does get the job, then quickly wins a Big Ten Title, John U. Bacon can title the book "From Sh*t to Stitt" [Title]

Output: again, I only have 2 words regarding the coaching search


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Body] "Well I don't know.. you know.. I don't know...he might have had a concussion or not. I don't know that. And that wasn't something... and Shane's a pretty competitive tough kid. And Shane wanted to be the QB. And so...believe me...if he didn't want to be he would have come to the sideline or stayed down." That is Brady Hoke after the game basically saying "if he doesn't want to be the starter, he can come out of the game" which is so incredibly fucking stupid. He's a college athlete, of course he wants to fucking play! It's your job to know if he has a concussion, and then to protect him if he does! If you don't know 100 % that he's not concussed, don't send him out to get his brains fucking scrambled. I mean holy fucking shit, if you were a parent and a coach was recruiting your kid, and during a press conference he said "I don't know if he was concussed or not, but he sure seemed like he wanted to stay out there" why the fuck would you trust him to take care of your child? This is Lane Kiffin bad, he shouldn't be the coach for Rutgers. [Title]

Output: I'm taking that extreme jump


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Body] He is bigger than the fucking program. The program is shit right now. If you're Alabama you can do that, if you're Michigan you can't [Title]

Output: One big problem


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Dude took over a program with zero inherent advantages, at a school that is incredibly difficult to get into, and turned them into a powerhouse. His QB this year is averageing like 400 some yards of offense a game. His QB, not his team, just the QB. He's on the cutting edge of pretty much every football movement, his trademark "Fly Sweep" is going to be all over college football in about a year after someone notices WVU is straight massacring people with it, he's relatively young, he's incredibly charismatic, and you can make SO MANY PUNS with his name. Come on people. I built this bandwagon, there is currently still quite a bit of seating on it. Stitt for Michigan [Title]

Output: Get on the Stitt bandwagon


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 10 hours ago [Body] Beat the fucking 5 win team at home. This team is not good at football. Would you rather the fans ignore that fact, pack the stadium to the brim, and cheer like soccer moms while they get fucking pummeled by a team that, again, won 5 games last year and is breaking in basically an entirely new defense? I would fucking LOOOOOOVE if people did that at my job. I would love if I got to fuck up that badly and people would just say "well, it happens. I'll keep purchasing from you in the hopes that you eventually stop fucking up!" But that's not how life works. You fuck up enough, people get mad, and you lose your job. You want the fans to support the coaches? Get them to stop being so bad at their jobs [Title]

Output: You know how to fix that?


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 10 hours ago [Body] Don't ever tell people how to spend their money, chances are pretty good you're spending money on some pretty useless shit that could go to better things as well. Whether or not skywriting or a banner is proper in this situation, the "couldn't you spend this on charity" comment is totally pointless. I could spend the money I buy beer with on feeding the homeless, but I don't, because I work my ass off so I can enjoy that fucking money how I please. [Title]

Output: I loathe this train of thought


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 1 day ago [Body] You realize that right? [Title]

Output: That doesn't make it better


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 4 days ago [Body] You either win, or you get paid millions of dollars to do nothing for a few years. [Title]

Output: When you play the game of coaches


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 6 days ago [Body] On one hand, it's another thing to add to "Dumb things Jameis Winston has done" On the other....I would be lying if I told you I have never yelled that at friend's. Close friends, and in my defense it was actual, helpful advice [Title]

Output: I'm conflicted


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Regardless of result, the fan base would consume itself from the inside like a dying star, eventually condensing into an inconceivably dense singularity of "I told you so" [Title]

Output: There will be nothing left


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Because somehow terrible things keep happening to him which make him look incompetant...but it's never his fault [Title]

Output: Hoke is the unluckiest coach ever


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Miami hasn't won a game since October. Of 2012. If they play that first half against a team with a pulse they are down 14 going into halftime. [Title]

Output: Miami hung with Michigan for a half


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Everything is Rod's fault! Gosh darn it, if only he had recruited better we could have hung with Notre Dame last week! [Title]

Output: I forgot


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Until he wins a single big road game. Just one. Just fucking one. Or come back and tell us how great he is after State whips his ass by 30 [Title]

Output: Hold the snark


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 3 days ago [Body] And it's not about it costing us this game, it's becoming a pattern that Hoke doesn't know what the fuck he's doing [Title]

Output: It was a terrible call


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 3 days ago [Body] The most supportive argument in favor of Brady Hoke's terrible coaching is reminding us that he almost lost to Akron last year. [Title]

Output: I'm so glad


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 3 days ago [Body] That we weren't talking about how great the coaching was after getting destroyed by ND. [Title]

Output: Truly sorry


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I've forgotten that until this point, Brady Hoke was unblemished as head coach. [Title]

Output: I'm sorry


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I always save the trim in a pile, mix it with some of the leaner trim off a top butt....oh man....it just does not get better [Title]

Output: When people have me flat cut briskets


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Should Daryl Funk really still have a job? Do you honest to god believe that? Also, what has Fred Jackson done lately? When has he landed a recruit that has panned out? What great Running Back has he churned out after Mike Hart, and even then how responsible was he for Hart? Jackson was kept on by Rod because he was familiar with the high school coaches in state and RB coach is a nice place to stash a guy who doesn't really bring a whole lot to the teaching aspect of coaching. He was an attempt at easing the transition to a new school and it's new recruiting footprint, something Hoke certainly does not need. Oh, and Manning was RB coach at Cinci in 2012 when they lead the Big East in rushing, so excuse me for thinking he might not ruin our backs. [Title]

Output: Why is funk still on?!


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Body] "Better than literally the worst" Oh, but Hoke masterminded the MSU game as well.... [Title]

Output: Now there's a slogan for the Brady Hoke Era


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I believe you are being more unreasonable. I'm not reacting to one game, I'm reacting to the whole of Brady Hoke's tenure, which has been underwhelming at best considering the level of competition he faces on a yearly basis. I think it's reasonalbe to worry about the chances in conference when there are 2 tough road games on the schedule, and Hoke has been lucky to even stay competitive in tough road games during his tenure. Yeah, I could be wrong, we could still win the Big Ten, but it does not seem likely unless this team does things that Hoke has never proven capable of doing. [Title]

Output: If you think we are beating MSU


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Body] The longer this is a possibility. And yes, I know Brandon would never do it. If Harbaugh lets it be known to people at the university that he's not happy in his situation and would consider a move to Michigan, Dave Brandon will have no say in the matter. [Title]

Output: The longer Harbaugh goes unsigned


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Fuck yeah, mad butcher skills coming at ya in the comments section. Though there isn't much to talk about burger wise. Try to buy it from smaller stores, though if you do shop at the larger Kroger/Meijer buy it from the case, not the pre wrapped or tube stuff. The stuff in the case is at least ground on site, from the trim they have from anything they have cut that day. If you want to make absolutely certain you are getting fresh stuff, pick out a chuck roast and have them grind it for you. If your butcher isn't willing to do that, get a new butcher. If you can talk your butcher into it, or have a grinder at home, try 50/50 mix of very lean beef (I prefer Sirloin Tip) and bacon. Any kind of bacon will do, it's a really good application for wayside if you have any laying around. Cooks up just like burger but has a delicious bacon flavor, and stays juicy even past medium rare! Finally, just a pet peeve. If you get burger home and it is brown on the inside, it's not because we hit old burger inside new burger. All meat, and hamburger in particular, needs oxygen to stay red. When it isn't exposed to air, meat turns brown, if you spread it out and aerate it, it will brighten right back up in a few minutes, though the taste is no different either way. [Title]

Output: Finally, an MgoFeature I have expertise in


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Body] That if, somehow, Miami were to beat us on Saturday, I would find people here talking about how Hoke had a few bad breaks that game, how Miami got lucky, we were too inexperienced and just need some time to get things worked out. It really is like taking crazy pills. How much worse does this team have to get before people realize Hoke isn't a good coach? He's had like, 4 double digit win seasons in his entire career, and all but one of them came against MAC level competition. He's playing in a terrible conference, he has more resources than every school in the conferene other than one, he's one of the highest paid coaches in the conference, he has the highest paid assistants in the conference, and yet in year four, not a single soul expects him to compete for even a division title! That's supposed to be good enough? [Title]

Output: I'm convinced


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Body] 50 % ground beef knuckle, 50 % ground bacon. It is a life changing experience [Title]

Output: You need to try a 50/50 burger


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Is in the blurb quoted here they mention 2 teams who seem to be on an upward trend, one of which went from being pretty bad to in the damned national title game in one year because they hired a guy some of us around here were praying Brandon would have at least fucking called [Title]

Output: The best part


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Body] For him to succeed, he needs to be Gene Chizik, but he's too loyal. Just look at Fred Jackson, sitting there doing nothing while Roy Manning is forced to coach a position he has zero experience with, that is now struggling despite what appears to be a pretty good talent pool. Or Funk, who I'm pretty sure at this point could be reasonably replaced by a few stray hairs from Alex Gibbs or Dante Scharnecchia. Hell, they might be an upgrade, because at least we know at one point in time they were in the general vicinity of being able to coach an effective O-line. [Title]

Output: That's problem problem #1 with Hoke


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I would settle for a few nice building here and there. I see a couple horse drawn carriages and the burned out shell of a library [Title]

Output: I don't expect a rebuilt Rome


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Goodell has proven over and over again he is a paragon of incompetance. From his seemingly random handling of player discipline to the ref strike, all the way back to 2009 when he said in legal arguments that he believed repeated head trauma had no permanent effect on a person. Rice is only the most recent and damning piece of evidence we have that Roger Goodell has no idea what he's doing. Even if, somehow, someway he did everything in his power to acquire this video, something that can be seriously questioned if the AP story has even a shred of truth to it, his not seeing it does not give him a free pass on the subject. As he himself once said regarding the Saints bounty case "Ignorance is no excuse" [Title]

Output: It's not only the Rice thing


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Because they play the mother of all softball schedules. They can go 9-3 and be a pretty bad football team if they catch Hackenberg on a bad night. Put this team in the pac 12 or SEC and they struggle to get to 8 wins [Title]

Output: 9-3 is only possible


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 6 days ago [Body] The team is loaded with a ludicrous amount of talent due to the recruiting power of the assistant coaches and a few banner years of just huge named kids in state, Massa, Thomas, Coon and the likes. They've put together like, 4 or 5 straight top 5ish recruiting classes, if they ever are going to really put it together and make a run at a conference, and by default a national title, this is it. PSU finally graduates Ruth and Taylor, Minnesota loses Nelson and...one of the Ness's...there's like 5. We've got one seroius threat for a national title in Coon, and I maintain that Massa will at least be in the conversation by the end of the year. Maybe you get one or 2 more surprise contenders out of a gaggle of top ranked recruits like Zac Hall, or Ben Whitford. All of them where top ten recruits in their class. Oh Michigan already has the number 1 recruit of the curent senior class commited, in no small part because he's the younger of the two Massa brother's. So yeah, we recruit at a ludicrous and nearly undheard of level ,but so far the results have been a little dissapointing. Michgian is still a very good team, they just havent been anywhere near good enough to compete for conference titles in the totally bonkers Big ten. [Title]

Output: On wrestling


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 18 hours ago [Body] Also, Bob Stitt [Title]

Output: We only do it because we love having you around


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 18 hours ago [Body] Because I've got two words for that Stitt. Happens. [Title]

Output: Are we bringing up crazy coach candidates now?


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 22 hours ago [Body] Mediocrity is the goal around here now. People see the team struggle and the overwheliming response is "but football is hard guys, it's not fair to say they are doing a bad job, i'm sure they are trying super hard, they just need more time, like, how about 4 more years. That might be enough time but we have to see and make sure nothing bad happens that would make it even harder to be good at football" [Title]

Output: What's sad


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 22 hours ago [Body] And didn't get shut out by an ND defense missing 4 starters [Title]

Output: We had a bad O-line last year


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 22 hours ago [Body] You cannot play a good game and lose 31-0. They got destroyed in the secondary, they could do absolutely nothing against a very young and inexperienced defense when they had to. Michigan got tons of yards when it didn't matter and never stopped ND when it did, and because of that we're gonna pretend like this team did a good job? They got fucking killed! [Title]

Output: Bullshit


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 22 hours ago [Body] When you get paid 4 million to win football games, and don't [Title]

Output: That's how it works


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 22 hours ago [Body] 2? 3? Do we just stick with him hoping the magical experience fairy solves all our problems? When do we take an honest look at the program and team, realize they are not getting it done and will not get it done under the current staff, and admit that a change needs to be made? [Title]

Output: How many next year's does hoke get?


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 22 hours ago [Body] Hoke has been here 4 years, they didn't have these problems in year 1, they have developed them as he's been head coach. Eventually the players are no longer simply young, they are unprepared [Title]

Output: This 'Football is hard" bullshit is getting real old


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Mark Richt could coach circles around Hoke. Maybe wait until Hoke even makes a championship game before comparing him to one of the most succesful head coaches in the game [Title]

Output: allofmywut


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 1 day ago [Body] When is it going to be Hoke's fault? Was 11-2 all Hoke yet somehow getting the shit kicked out of us 4 years later is all on Rich Rod? Or is it Borges and Funk? Who...exactly...do you think hired those guys? Who kept Funk on staff after the single worst O-line in Michigan history? [Title]

Output: Rodriguez was 4 years ago


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Worst loss against ND in...what...ever? Nothing to see here, just gonna clap along with Brady! 3-7 in the last 10 games with no quality wins? Why, that's exactly why he gets paid 4 million a year! Fuck that, it's not like anything said here is going to change the AD's mind or have even the slightest impact on the program. Let people bitch into the void, it's cathartic. [Title]

Output: So, don't express negative opinions towards the program


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Because like everyone loves to say on press conference day, no one would care if he was winning [Title]

Output: You know why it's not a Jim Harbaugh comment?


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Becoming a mediocre football team only thought to be elite because enough people still vaguely remember when they were dominant? Because if that's what you are worried might happen....i've got some bad news..... [Title]

Output: What are they in danger of?


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 2 days ago [Body] If they played this year, it would be ugly. At least they have wins against teams with a pulse. Brady has beaten the worst OSU team in a decade, a few mediocre ND squads, and a VT team that had no business being in the BCS. That's it. [Title]

Output: Arizona would whoop UofM's ass


Input: [Date] 46 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Is I don't even think he's the guy who gets us back to good. I don't think he's Doug Collins, I think he's Mike D'antoni, in that he had success elsewhere, took over a once proud franchise in a down period, and added exactly zero value. We are doing nothing but biding time with Hoke, and it would be better to rip the band aid off now than to drag it out another 3 years, winning 8 games a year without ever beating MSU or OSU, only to have to do it once Hoke's recruiting mojo has worn off as his complete inability to develop or improve players is showcased. [Title]

Output: I guess my biggest problem with your evaluation of Hoke


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Alabama did not put up negative rushing yards against one of the worst run defenses in the country. Borges did more to make himself look bad than any fans ever did, he was a good coordinator a decade ago, he hasn't been for years. [Title]

Output: The difference being


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Pretty big difference between the two [Title]

Output: Mason Cole isn't Cam Robinson


Input: [Date] 50 weeks 8 hours ago [Body] Can't trade a QO player without their consent [Title]

Output: Only to a team he agrees to go to


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Body] You need to try Burton Baton by Dogfish Head. Not Michigan, I know, but they make one of the best IPA's I've ever had, any of their varieties, and the Burton Baton is an Imperial IPA that gets the Barrel Aging treatment. It's absolutely outstanding. [Title]

Output: If you like Backwoods Bastard


Input: [Date] 1 year 16 weeks ago [Body] I work with meat all day and I usually only blow up at my co workers 1, 2 times in a full work day max. BUT MAYBE IF THEY WOULD PUT THE FUCKING TRAYS BACK WHERE THEY BELONG WE COULD CUT THAT NUMBER DOWN!!! .....yeaah.....perfectly calm and composed.... [Title]

Output: I take offense to that


Input: [Date] 1 year 19 weeks ago [Body] Trade Scherzer to the Braves for Alex Wood, Tyler Pastornicky, and one of the dozen bullpen arms they have. [Title]

Output: No, go crazier


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Body] The Lions do think they are close to making that leap, despite hiring maybe the worst coach in the league. I could totally see Mayhew and Lewand sitting down and saying "If only we had a shut down corner like Champ Bailey, we could really take the next step towards a title" Keep in mind I do not think he is a shut down corner, and he would get absolutely abused by the top 2 receivers on any team in the NFC North save maybe Minnesota. The Lions though, they might think he is, because again, Lions gonna Lions. [Title]

Output: Your last paragraph scares me


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] I'd say this is just stupid rumor mongering. Gores however, is quickly in the running for worst owner in the NBA. Really shouldn't be surprised though. He has a passing interest in basketball at best, and is a bona fide scum bag. [Title]

Output: If it was damn near any other owner


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] Can Austin Daye be the Trim Sleeper? [Title]

Output: If KD is the Slim Reaper


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] Like characters I would make in like NBA 2k6. Just, 7 feet tall, 99 everything. Dropped 200 in a game with him once...had 50 rebounds too.... [Title]

Output: He looks waaaaaaaaaaay too much


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Body] I'm sorry mods, this is why we can't have nice things... [Title]

Output: Got in just as the shit was about to hit


Input: [Date] 1 year 24 weeks ago [Body] How was OSU last year compared to Michigan? Maybe, perhaps, he wants to go to a better program? [Title]

Output: What were the respective teams' records again?


Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Body] There's your problem right there. Not that I would insult anyone for there taste in comedy, but that show gets pretty mixed reviews from the type of crows Mgoblog attracts. [Title]

Output: "like most of you"


Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Body] He traded him for cap space, and he knew who was going to be available. That was a pretty bad free agent class, there weren't any great fits for the team, and he refused to accept that the team was in decline. While the cap room move is generally a good idea, it was so poorly executed, it's hard to call it a success. Why not hang on to Chauncey, and try to deal someone else? Were the other players contracts so bad that they were untradeable? If so, who gave them those contracts? Did he simply overvalue Prince/Hamilton? The notion of "get cap space" is all well and good, but the giant clusterfuck surrounding every other aspect of the trade is impossible to ignore. [Title]

Output: I think the problem was not having a plan in place


Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Body] A GM desperate for another year does incredibly dumb things. 4 years for Josh Smith? Why the fuck not, it's not like you'll have to deal with more than 1 if it doesn't work out. [Title]

Output: Exactly


Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Body] Especially when, if you don't like Gores, there is plenty to criticize him about. Like rushing on the floor after a preseason game, or not letting Dumars use the amnesty on Gordon. I'm not sure if anyone has reported that, but there is NO WAY Dumars was dumb enough to trade a first rounder to dump a contract, if he could wipe it clean off the cap with the amnesty, unless the owner told him to do so. [Title]

Output: I never got that line of thinking


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Body] Trey Burke and a bunch of scrubs who won 1 game out of 12 while he was injured were 21 points better than the Pistons at the Palace. [Title]

Output: That's setting a pretty high bar


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Body] Ever hear of a guy named Barry Sanders? Detroit fans are sick of losing. We don't want exciting players, we want a winning team. I'd trade Calvin Johnson if it helped the team win. That trade doesn't exist, but if you gave the fans a choice between Calvin Johnson and a division title, you know what they would pick. I would give my left testicle to have 2 rings like the Giants. It doesn't mean shit that we have Calvin Johnson and you have a Qb who wouldn't look out of place selling used Honda's. [Title]

Output: We've seen that story


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Body] The Lions have had 13 winning seasons 5 seasons of double digit wins 10 playoff appearances 3 division titles 1 playoff win So forgive Lions fans for assuming the team will be awful until he sells it. [Title]

Output: Since Ford bought the team in 1963


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Body] It's like the entertainment from Infinite Jest. I can't look away [Title]

Output: This gif is hypnotizing


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Body] Improving from 7 wins to 9 isnt the same as 3 to 9. That Auburn team last year was abysmal, this years team is better than any Hoke has ever fielded. So no, it can't happen. [Title]

Output: auburn was also a 3 win team


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] He enjoyed male fans as well. Not that there is anything wrong with that. [Title]

Output: you may not know.....


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Given the way Stabler lived his life its amazing he lasted this long. I wonder if Kenny's switch-hitting made it into his book. [Title]

Output: Its time for Fran Tarkenton to shuffle off


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Well, the flexbone is *kinda* like the wishbone. Its really a cross between the wishbone & run-n-shoot. These days the R&S portion of the attack isn't run so much. But when the scheme was first used at Hawaii 25 years ago the shoot was a significant factor. There are other differences as well. In the typical wishbone the fullback lines up much closer to the QB than the B back does in the flex. As a result the physical profile of a B back often looks much different than the traditional bone fullback. [Title]

Output: kinda sorta


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Its funny because its true. [Title]

Output: Its funny because its true.

Output: icing on the cake


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Goldens are great. Be careful with food; that golden goodness masks a voracious appetite. [Title]

Output: awesome


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Body] And that splitter enabled Roger to become just the 2nd manager in history to take a team from 100+ losses to > 0.500 in his first season. The best manager in history, Billy Martin, did it *3* times. [Title]

Output: a little tidbit


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Body] The Pointes do have more interesting restaurants than when I grew up there. Way more. [Title]

Output: some things have improved


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Body] In many ways RO does indeed have more going for it. But strictly on the subject of schools Berkley is definitely in better shape. [Title]

Output: true but.....


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Body] There are 5 Pointes. And they're a tad more diverse than you think. And after the real estate crash, quite a bit more diverse [Title]

Output: Woods, Farms, Park, Shore & City


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Schools are decent in Berkley. [Title]

Output: there is an alternative


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Body] East of Woodward a couple blocks south of 9 used to have a pretty high WT quotient. There used to be a decent sweet spot that started maybe 3 blocks south of 9 and went to a little south of 8 1/2. Never got too familiar with the west side just south of 9. Really use to love the neighborhoods northwest of 9 & Woodward. [Title]

Output: I can see that


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Body] That might depend on the specific block in Ferndale. Close to RO Township? Not good. Close to 8 Mile? Not good. And you wouldn't believe it but there is some crime right on 9 Mile steps from the police station. [Title]

Output: what neighborhood?


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Schools in B'ham ain't what they used to be, depending on the building. [Title]

Output: not so fast


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Body] There is definitely a hipster happening in Ferndale. But the schools..... depending on the building violence can be a problem. [Title]

Output: Fashionable. Fabulous. Funky. Most of the time.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Darn it, its Grosse *Pointe*. The Woods is nice, but unfortunately its not quite as nice as it was a generation ago. Royal Oak? Schools are very uneven. [Title]

Output: I hate this

Output: ftw


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Best listed alternative to Fighting Sioux? Admiral Ackbar of course. Ole Miss' loss could have been UND's gain. [Title]

Output: its a trap!


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I gotcha. I was 7 or 8 and went with the family to a well-known ice cream place in Traverse City. Its Friday, warm, tourist season. Like the last Friday in June. Threw up right in the middle of the crowd just moments after getting daquiri ice. Absolutely cleared the place out within 90 seconds. Dad consoled me in the car afterwards by explaining how the owner had just a dozen weekends to make enough money for the rest of the year. [Title]

Output: been there

Output: pot meet kettle


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Its less about morning/afternoon and more about budgets. The News had deeper pockets. Always did. And a few years before the JOA the ENA started a morning edition to compete directly with Freep. It cost a ton but was steadily eating the Freep away. [Title]

Output: follow the money


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Back in the old days DN had a larger staff for more in-depth stories. A few times per year the Sunday edition would go all out on a subject that kicked off a weeklong series. There was detail you couldn't get anywhere else. Freep could never hang with that. [Title]

Output: um, no


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 1 day ago [Body] The Evening News Association should never have signed the JOA. They had the Freep on the ropes. A couple more years and it would have been the Freep folding up shop. [Title]

Output: snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Input: [Date] 21 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I equate high GPA with greater maturity, guess I'm wrong. BTW your avatar is my favorite on the board. well done! [Title]

Output: GPA


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Does anyone else find it difficult to reconcile what these guys did with the fact that SAM had the highest GPA of all the fraternities on campus? (And BTW the greek average is slightly higher than the all campus average.) They deserved to have their charter pulled. Their actions are a stain on the reputation of every Michigan student and alumni. I feel like the SDTs kind of got shafted though if their worst crime was standing around and watching it happen. I find it hard to believe they could have done much to stop it once things started getting out of control. Maybe they are refusing to name the chief perps out of some sense of friendship. They have to know who the ringleaders were. [Title]

Output: Question


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 6 days ago [Body] IN my opinion Varsity is quite decent as fight songs go, nowhere near the victors of course, BUT it is probably better than 1/2 or more of other schools primary fight song and its only our secondary song. I can think of less than 10 fight songs from other schools that are clearly better than Varsity IMHO. [Title]

Output: I like Varsity and consider this


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 7 hours ago [Body] I loved Front Page Sports Footballpro '98 for the PC. I continued to play it for years and found it to be much more realistic feeling than Madden or the several other games I tried. Not a college game per se but I created my own rosters so it worked as such. Lot's of fun designing plays with the play editor. Only thing was you couldn't make it run any sort of option play, any sort of handoff or pitch had to be programmed into the play. [Title]

Output: Going way back

Input: [Date] 29 weeks 3 days ago [Body] We had these when I was in school and I loved them. It was especially cool at The Game when both teams had a season full of stickers on their helmuts. It seems to me though that the buckeyes have cheapened them. It used to be that only 1 or 2 players would have buckeys on both sides of their helmuts, now it seems like everybody has their entire helmut filled up. They should be hard to get. Bo didn't think of them as taking away from "The Team" but as another way to motivate. [Title]

Output: Love 'em


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 6 days ago [Body] What about Quanzbaugh? [Title]

Output: But....


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I'm sure those of us who live out of state would love to see photos. Curiosly this phenomena has not spread to Chicago. [Title]

Input: [Date] 31 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I am 99% that Brian is in SF and Sam is just covering up for his earlier mistake in leaking this clue. How do I know? I want it to be true so it must be right?? [Title]

Output: Smokescreen


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Do you know how much it costs do get a last minute airfare right before Christmas? Brian's been tipped that there is going to be a press conference and has gone to cover it and get an interview with our new coach. Based on absolutely complete speculation and the fact that Brian is there I predict the press conference is no later than Monday. [Title]

Output: OMG IT'S HAPPENING.GIF


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Big problem I see is his season won't be over until maybe days into January. Not sure if we want to start recruiting that late with a non big name. Would he even consider leaving his team before the first ever college playoff? Kind of doubt it. Would Urban let him stay as interim OC through the playoffs? Don't know about that either. Seems like a potential big problem with him. Otherwise I like him. [Title]

Input: [Date] 42 weeks 2 days ago [Body] The ONLY way Pat will leave NU is if they fire him. He is not interested in coaching anywhere but at his alma mater. He loves Northwestern. If they did fire him then it's kind of obvious that we would not be interested at that point. [Title]

Output: Not Happening


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 16 hours ago [Body] I believe that Brian is technically correct in game theory terms, but I agree more with the posters who point out the psycological reasons why this may not be the best strategy. If you go for 2 on your first score and don't make it (statistically < 50/50?) Then you are still down 3 scores and you haven't really accomplished anything. If you kick the one then you are only down 2 scores + hope. FWIW I have been watching football for a long time, and as far as I know coaches have always advocated and opted for going for 2 later rather than sooner. This doesn't mean that they have necessarily been right all these years, but maybe there is a method to their madness. IMHO there are a lot of more legitimate things to criticize Hoke about. [Title]

Output: Game Theory


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 5 days ago [Body] After forcing myself to watch these replays again I'm pretty convinced that Gardner has some sort of sholder/arm injury he has been trying to play through. His attempts to throw long are few and horribly short. His throwing motion seems worse to me than last year. At first I attributed this to Nuss trying to change his mechanics, but it could also be caused by an injury. He seems to be floating his passes most of the time. I was alarmed by this against Appy State even though he had only one incompletion, nothing had any zip on it. He also seems to get worse as the game goes on, which could also be explained by an injury being irrated by making throws or getting hit. This could also explain some of his apparent hesitation if in the back of his mind he is uncertain if he can make a given throw. [Title]

Output: think DG has a boo boo


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Q: Coach Hoke, would you like to be head coach at the University of Michigan? A: Yes! Please Yes! I would crawl from California to Ann Arbor to get the job. vs. Q: Jim, would you be interested in coaching in college at your alma mater? A: Absolutely Not. Not interested in coaching in college and the weather is better in California. Q: Jim, what if we offer you $5mm a year? A: No Thanks, Q: How about $8 million? A: Done! [Title]

Input: [Date] 47 weeks 6 days ago [Body] M defense on field first, forces punt. Peppers returns punt 67 yds for TD. I recall Anthony Carter did this the first time he touched the ball in his first game as a freshman. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 day 22 hours ago [Body] I've had a couple of classes with the guy, and I can say he's 100% the kind of guy you want to root for. Really kind, polite, smart, and responsible. Makes an effort to introduce himself to everyone and contribute in class, and takes things more seriously than most non-athletes I've seen. And not in a "good by athlete standards" way either, he would have no problem being a top student without the scholarship. Anyway figured I would share since a lot of times what you see of these guys on TV isn't really how they act in person. Jehu's a great dude. [Title]

Output: Double post


Input: [Date] 5 days 23 hours ago [Body] Always thought he was immensely talented as a returner, even though our awful special teams never let him truly show it. He'll light it up in D2 and I wouldn't be surprised to still see him try out for an NFL team when he graduates. Best of luck to the guy [Title]

Output: Always thought he was


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] I'm really into role playing games, and I spend a lot of time playing and prepping games, which includes a lot of creative writing. I was raised on D&D but recently have gotten really into Star Wars: Edge of the Empire. I'd be curious to know if there's anyone else into RPGs on this board, you would think not but you never know. Other than that I work out a lot, and alternate between being into different activities like running, boxing, etc. Those figures look great, by the way. That's another hobby I want to pick up, once I have the money. [Title]

Output: I'm really into role playing

Output: Working on some Oberon right


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Everybody saying he couldn't have contributed on returns because of his poor stats in the past don't understand just how bad our blocking has been on returns the past few years. Kid was elusive as hell, and with better blocking (read: any blocking) I think his stats would be a whole lot different. That all seems to be a moot point if he was dismissed, though. [Title]

Output: Everybody saying he couldn't


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Good lord. Have the refs supply the game balls if it's that big of a fucking deal. Not that that will happen of course, because the NFL doesn't care about the actual rules as much as they do pandering to public opinion. Good grief... [Title]

Output: Good lord. Have the refs

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 10 hours ago [Body] Hmmm.... if only there was a way to express said agreement without going through the trouble of writing a comment... some sort of "upward tally" perhaps. No no, that could never work. (I kid, I kid) [Title]

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 11 hours ago [Body] One big difference to my understanding: In rugby, you can give up an extra yard or two without any major consequences. As such, players are much less likely to go for the head-first "big hit" that stops the ballcarrier in his tracks. In football, an extra yard or two can make all the difference, and players are taught to tackle as such. Not to mention that rugby has its own major concussion issue going on right now. I wouldn't exactly look to that sport to model after. [Title]

Output: One big difference to my


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 12 hours ago [Body] Good lord. I cannot for the life of me understand why people are so emotionally invested in talking politics on a sports blog. I agree that that post shouldn't have been locked - it should have been deleted. Yeah Harbaugh was tangentially involved in the whole thing - that doesn't make it an appropriate subject for a sports blog. If Harbaugh told people to go out and vote, should we have some huge discussion on the relative merits of the presidential candidates? Hell, this is a UofM sports blog, and UofM is a public university (i.e. part of the state of Michigan), maybe we should have a "Thoughts on Governer Snyder" post stickied on the MGoBoard? The first post about his tweet was toeing the line as is. This past post pretty clearly past it in my opinion. The No Politics rule is a damn good one, as evidenced by what happens in every single goddamn political post on this blog. If you want to talk politics, you can very easily go elsewhere to do so. [Title]

Output: Good lord. I cannot for the

Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Body] It's an amazing album. GKMC was, for me at least, one of the all-time greats, and I wouldn't quite say the same thing about Butterfly (yet anyway). But it's still amazing. "u" had me in tears. Hearing Pac on the outro made my jaw drop. I'm just gonna repost my reddit comment on the subject: It really is an immensely dense album. Unlike GKMC it doesn't really have one unifying theme, but many - black culture, self esteem, the "pimping" of rap artists and black culture generally by America.... If I had one bone to pick it would be that the meaning is so convoluted at times that it doesn't always land as well as I feel it should. There are some songs like u (Kendrick's best in my opinion) and Blacker the Berry that are just so raw and emotional, they're incredible. But there are others on the album that left me somewhat underwhelmed, if only because they were so difficult to decipher. This isn't necessarily a bad thing - having more to digest can be good too - but it does detract from the overall feel at times and for me it's the difference between a 9/10 and a 10/10. [Title]

Output: It's an amazing album. GKMC


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Body] If that album made you feel on top of the world you weren't listening very closely. No offense.... Outside of "i" the bulk of the album is depressing or at the very least darkly political. [Title]

Input: [Date] 19 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Much as I really want to say "go for it, have fun"... if it were me, I would definitely feel out of place. The student section is full of rowdy 18-22 year olds, and as a student myself I can't say I see many adults there. If you can just own it and have fun in that sort of environment then absolutely go for it, but if you have hangups about standing all game and getting some weird looks from drunk students, those are probably legitimate hangups. Just my $.02 [Title]
