Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Body] We had the honor of getting trucked by Webber in the 91 finals as well. Crazy thing is that Vall was the third best player on that team but the only one that had his head screwed on straight to take advantage of a D1 scholarship offer. At least one other guy had one but combination of test scores and general knuckleheadedness prevented that. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 days 14 hours ago [Title] Well [Body]

Output: "I have no interest in controlling her actions" Saying if she lives at home with you then she can't go to parties isn't controlling her actions? Or saying that she has to sit next to dad at football games? I get the point you're making about not being able to pay for everything, and that's totally a legit and fair point. But it sure sounds, from what you've said, that you're actually interested in controlling some of her actions. EDIT: I may have misread your posts a bit. Sounds like you don't care if she goes to parties, just that you think if you pay for her rent elsewhere you're paying for her to party. Apologizes.


Input: [Date] 6 days 15 hours ago [Title] How disappointing [Body]

Output: How disappointing that you think that way. Why not just let your daughter enjoy the college experience? Why try and control her actions by holding money over her head? It's awesome that you're paying for college and giving her a place to live, seriously it is, but you shouldn't in-turn try and control what she does because of it.

Output: And how the hell do you know he isn't fine with it? It's clear that you're not OK with it. That doesn't suddently mean Harbaugh isn't OK with it. So please, inform me or show me some proof that Harbaugh isn't fine with it... cause your "promise" means literally nothing.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Title] What? [Body]

Output: You mean, before people get engaged they're not dating 10 of the most beautiful people in the country at the same time, with their pick of who they want to marry? That's crazy talk.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Hmm [Body]

Output: Harbaugh has no policy or restriction at all on kids taking visits elsewhere after commiting.

Input: [Date] 12 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Actually read it [Body]

Output: Read the NLI and let me know where it guarantees them a scholarship once they sign. I'm no lawyer and may be just completely missing it, but I don't see it guaranteeing anything. The Finacial Aid Agreement does, and while signing that is part of the NLI, the NLI itself doesn't seem to guarantee jack squat for the student athelete.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Advertisers [Body]

Output: While I 1000% support the NFL taking a very hard stance on domestic abusers and similar. The main reason why the NFL is so different has everything to do with where the NFL is getting their money. Advertisers and a growing amount of the fan base want to see the NFL take strong action against domestic abusers because of the massive amount of attention the NFL gets. I mean... money talks. It's not necessarily about the players being role models, but the NFL being able to take action and tell a huge chunk of society, including millions and millions of kids and teens "This is not acceptable. If you want to have the privilage of playing pro football, you can't do this stuff." As the old saying goes "With great power comes great responsbility" The NFL, and their players, have a great amount of power in society. Far far more than a car wash does... unless that car wash is owned by Walter White.

Output: There are SC2 pros all over the world, not just South Korea. The scene in south korea is certainly different from the rest of the world though, and the best 8-12 players in the game today are all from south korea (and i'm being friendly when I say that, in reality it's really the top 16-24 players are all korean. There are no stephano's around anymore.) You also get awesomeness like this in Proleague in Korea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv-KLL-Dkdk I love me some MC. Shame he's fallen off over the last year and a half.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It's also a grind [Body]

Output: I can totally see it as living the dream, but it's also an insane grind. The successful twitch streamers almost always are 6-7 day a week guys with no sick days type of deal, it's also pretty hard work as the best ones are constantly talking and interacting with their viewers. And if you're not one of the lucky few that can kind of pick and choose what game you want to play, it becomes an even bigger grind of playing the same game day in and day out all day long. Twitch viewers are also notoriously flakey, if you take just a few days off you can lose a lot of your viewers and with them their money. Don't get me wrong, there are far worse jobs out there, but it's a lot more difficult and a lot more of a grind than just playing video games for a living.

Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] OP, you don't know what you're talking about. Williams and Pomona are, by almost any standard, top-ten colleges. (US News ranks them both in the top five.) Academically, they're on par with the top Ivies, and their acceptance standards are among the highest in the world. The whole "declining enrollment" thing doesn't really apply to these schools. And, anyway, the broader decline in college enrollment isn't about quality. it's about cost. Private colleges are more expensive than public ones. In a recession, guess what happens? Also, your logic is bizarre. So these tiny little colleges, with their relatively small endowments, are buying off Forbes? But the huge top-flight universities, with their massive endowments, are helpless lambs? [Title]

Or no? [Title]

Output: I wouldn't pretend to know

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Perhaps you haven't been informed that we probably have roughly 10 more slots to fill. The class is likely to end up closer to 25 than 14, according to most "insiders." We could easily end up with 10-12 4-stars (and maybe one or two 5-stars). Also, most of our 2-stars will end up as 3-stars; some of the 3-stars will become 4s. We could very likely end up with a Top 10 class. Top 15, at worst. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Seriously, do you not realize we'd end up with 10-12 three-stars no matter what (assuming a class close to 25)? Nobody recruits 90 percent 4-5 stars. We still have about 20 spots saved for the tougher gets, who tend to hold out until later in the process. Better to fill out your roster now, then focus on the touch pulls. We'll get some, lose some. But the current pattern makes sense. [Title]

Yeah, Harbaugh and all. But this transfer hardly seems likely -- unless the kid has somehow fallen out with his team. But I've seen no indication of same. EDIT: If his mother just got a job at UM, I guess that's motivation enough. But does anyone have any meaningful indication that her son is actually hoping to transfer? Or are people just assuming?

It would be easy for him to end this thing now. But he hasn't. And he clearly has some attachment to Michigan. Plus, Harbaugh and Wheatley. Plus, doesn't Urban normally forbid verbal commits from meeting with coaches from M and MSU?

I'm sure Barwis is a perfectly good one. But mostly, it seemed, he just had a good branding thing going. When a team is no good, everyone always points to the S&C coach. Usually, though, it's more complicated than that. [Title]

Drafting him was a reasonable bet, especially given how few draft picks are sure things. Smith, by contrast, was widely known to be selfish, overrated, and generally not a good egg.

But I'm sure the coaches know the transition will ultimately produce some attrition (and will therefore open additional spots). There will be guys who just don't fit the Harbaugh Way. Or don't want to fit. We'll likely see a few transfers by the time spring practice is done. Also, the whole "we only have a few spots left" is a helpful sales pitch. [Title]

Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Body] If I were a coach, a silent commit would make me far more nervous than a kid who isn't yet committed. Silent implies significant degrees of uncertainty and deception, and I'd constantly be wondering if I'm being played. With silent commits, you're holding places for them. With players who haven't committed, at least you can keep recruiting other players at that position and not be left holding the bag on NSD.

He may well be a better long-term investment than a certain other Michigan WR. [Title]

Input: [Date] 28 weeks 6 days ago [Body] The whole "LA is a bad sports town" is yet another one of those lame cliches about the city. Most of its teams -- Dodgers, Lakers, Kings, even the Galaxy -- draw very well. The Clips and Angels do respectably. So do USC and UCLA. Yes, attendance tends to flag when the teams struggle. But you could say that about most cities. Been to a Pistons game lately? Or a typical MSU football game? LA's NFL reputation had merit only to the extent that LA -- where there's plenty of alternatives, and where there's no real winter -- doesn't desperately need NFL football. But its "failure" to keep an NFL team stemmed mostly from bad, flighty ownership. Also, today's NFL is far more popular than it was when the Rams played in LA. And while it's true that LA fans tend to arrive late and leave early, that's generally a function of LA freeway traffic. If you're leaving work at 6 PM, or if you've got to get the kids in bed by 10, you're gonna miss part of the game. [Title]

But he's had very limited game experience, under pretty crappy circumstances. Most QBs ride the pine for 2 or 3 years. And most need substantial starting reps before they hit their strides. (Few people saw much potential in a young Tom Brady, either). Everybody points to the young QBs at FSU and OSU -- but those QBs are a) exceptional and b) surrounded by NFL-caliber lines and RBs. Give Shane a minute to prove himself before you summarily dismiss him. [Title]

Input: [Date] 31 weeks 2 days ago [Body] It's highly unlikely that M will have to pay SF anything. By most accounts, NFL contracts are restrictive only re the NFL. A coach can quit the NFL, and therefore his NFL contract, at any time, without penalty. It's unlikely Harbaugh's contract prohibits him from leaving for the college ranks. I'm not sure such a contract would even be legal. [Title]

Input: [Date] 31 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Thank you for saying this. It's unbelievable that people care who makes the uniforms -- especially since it's the school that makes the ultimate call on what it will and won't wear. And at this point, post-Brandon, it seems unlikely the school will venture too far from the traditional looks. As long as the team improves, I'd be happy if Underoos makes the uniforms. [Title]

Output: I don't believe any coaches


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Hard to say what our decommits will do. Generally, though, Harbaugh's arrival would no doubt have a sensational impact on this recruiting class. He's one of the true coaching rock stars. He'll pull at least a few big recruits. Also, given his reputation with QBs, don't be surprised if he makes a serious run at one of the most coveted QB recruits -- to go along with Malzone, presumably. (Given that M has no established QBs, I could see Harbaugh taking two this year. Yes, it's a small class. But all coaching changes bring attrition, and this class could easily exceed 16). Four of the top QB prospects -- Rosen, Town, White, Browning -- are from California, where Harbaugh's reputation looms especially large. All four are committed elsewhere. But here's guessing at least one of them would return Harbaugh's calls. [Title]

Input: [Date] 32 weeks 15 hours ago [Body] Yup. And it's not as if Schlissel can control Harbaugh's thoughts and actions. Schlissel acted surely. He put a (hopefully, evidently) competent AD in place. And the AD has ample money to offer Harbaugh. The rest is out of Schlissel's hands. Also, if we're to glean anything from comments made by botth Schissel and Hackett, it's that M has limited its candidate-pool to coaches who haven't taken "short-cuts." That's a bold statement -- especially if they hold true to it. We'll see. [Title]

Output: Yup. And it's not as if


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 15 hours ago [Body] His apology seemed unnecessary. M has allowed in athletes with substandard grades. Some of these students have no doubt struggled. The recent graduation rate is great. But M, like so many other schools, has frequently steered students down the ol' General Studies/Kinesiology path. Neither is necessarily bad. But they tend to be the paths of least resistence, academically speaking. I assume a brilliant educator like Schlissel, having reviewed everything, had reason to come to his initial conclusion. He simply thinks M could do better on this front. Which is true. His apology, I'd imagine, was mostly a diplomatic one. [Title]

Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Michigan doesn't need to "freeze" its few remaining recruits. Hackett said the coach will be hired by the beginning of the year. Recruits won't be doing much in the meantime. And there's no need to make a hasty hire just to satisfy the whims of a few recruits. That would be incredibly short-sighted.

So I think non-Mormons jump to conclusions about their desires and priorities. Consider also that Mormon schools/state schools are probably just more likely to hire Mormon coaches. Just saying.

Output: movies nowadays are mostly


Input: [Date] 16 hours 5 min ago [Title] Players say the same thing [Body]

Output: Players say the same thing every year. They spout hopeful cliches about how things are different, everyone is more motivated, etc. I don't think they're being disingenuous. But they just say what they're supposed to say. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] Um, you don't know what [Body]

Output: OP, you don't know what you're talking about. Williams and Pomona are, by almost any standard, top-ten colleges. (US News ranks them both in the top five.) Academically, they're on par with the top Ivies, and their acceptance standards are among the highest in the world. The whole "declining enrollment" thing doesn't really apply to these schools. And, anyway, the broader decline in college enrollment isn't about quality. it's about cost. Private colleges are more expensive than public ones. In a recession, guess what happens? Also, your logic is bizarre. So these tiny little colleges, with their relatively small endowments, are buying off Forbes? But the huge top-flight universities, with their massive endowments, are helpless lambs?


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Title] People who do something this [Body]

Output: People who do something this stupid and ugly deserve to get trampled. And it's pure animal cruelty.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Wrong. This was well before [Body]

Output: Wrong. This was well before the Internet devastation. Look it up. He's loathed in those cities. Also, why do zillionaire a continually give money to those who need it least? How about giving money to parts of the school that need it more?


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Sam Zell absolutely decimated [Body]

Output: Sam Zell absolutely decimated two of the country's greatest newspapers: the Chicago Tribune and the LA Times. He's notorious. Just another rich asshole trying to buy a legacy.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Sorry but that kid is [Body]

Output: Sorry but that kid is obviously a major tool.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Yeah, but what's in this for [Body]

Output: Yeah, but what's in this for me?


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Title] God bless a man who got rich [Body]

Output: God bless a man who got rich by selling sub-primes.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Title] They have a good coach that's [Body]

Output: They have a good coach that's beaten m twice. And Harbaugh can only do so much in his first game.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 1 day ago [Title] OP: So you're not even going [Body]

Output: OP: So you're not even going to mention the source of your information about Ole Miss? We're just supposed to believe you?


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I wouldn't pretend to know [Body]

Output: I wouldn't pretend to know how things will turn out for Shane. I'm cautiously optimistic. The one thing that did strike me, while watching his limited playing time, was that he seemed smaller and more slight than the average gun-slinging pocket-passer type. Is this perception accurate? Or no?


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 1 day ago [Title] You need to go to Iowa and [Body]

Output: You need to go to Iowa and Indiana. They're both great. Indiana is so old-school, you can enter the stadium at any time, day or night. And Iowa has a great atmosphere. Both towns are great, too. One warning: at both schools, I've never seen so many falling-down drunk students on game day.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Chances harbaugh doesn't [Body]

Output: Chances harbaugh doesn't reveal the starter till opening night? For strategic reasons.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] No intelligent person [Body]

Output: No intelligent person suggested the interview would impact anything. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I love how people argue that [Body]

Output: I love how people argue that noon games let them do stuff around the house but later ones don't. The games are the same length at any time. You still have half a day either way. What a ridiculous and lazy argument.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Nobody plays big noon games. [Body]

Output: Nobody plays big noon games. Even in November. You do realize the NFL plays deep into the winter and nobody seems to mind? Noon games are relics. And very few people like them.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Noon sucks. Too sleepy and [Body]

Output: Noon sucks. Too sleepy and subdued.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Title] The screaming highlighter [Body]

Output: The screaming highlighter color could only be preferred by teenagers. The team has historically worn, maize (albeit in marginally different shades) because that happens to be the the intended color. Which also looks better.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Cavs will still find a way to [Body]

Output: Cavs will still find a way to lose.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It may surprise you to learn [Body]

Output: It may surprise you to learn that the media doesn't publish stories based on whether they're convenient for the program.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Title] That's the rationalization [Body]

Output: That's the rationalization fans always use.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] Seriousy, dude? Another [Body]

Output: Seriousy, dude? Another thread on this inane topic? Really?


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I see your point. But mostly, [Body]

Output: I see your point. But mostly, I think, when you determine to attract as much attention as harbaugh does, you're also going to invite more scrutiny. Every little negative thing will be noted. That's just the way it goes. And it's not unfair.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Nick's online chats are [Body]

Output: Nick's online chats are particularly bad. He offers no new information or insights and basically just says "only time will tell" to every question. He's lazy and not terribly insightful. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I don't think you understand [Body]

Output: I don't think you understand how journalism works. You think they should just sit on their hands and not report a player's allegations -- even after asking M for comment? If this were Bama, I bet you'd be the first guy accusing ESPN of a coverup.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Yeah. Only a dumbass like you [Body]

Output: Yeah. Only a dumbass like you would make this a partisan political issue.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Agreed. This is a lousy [Body]

Output: Agreed. This is a lousy precedent. Great lesson for the players.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Yes. They fit the profile and [Body]

Output: Yes. They fit the profile and have a certain old-school glamour about them.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 19 hours ago [Title] Gee, this isn't a stale old [Body]

Output: Gee, this isn't a stale old chestnut or anything. Let it go already. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Title] No. The coaches already know [Body]

Output: No. The coaches already know we'll have a few medicals and a few fifth-years who won't be back. So they haven't over signed. They're under no obligation to inform us of the current roster numbers.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Correct. It's so early in the [Body]

Output: Correct. It's so early in the cycle, things haven't had a chance to shake out. Inevitably, at least a few of these kids will go elsewhere -- ones that get late offers from their local team, or ones worried they'll get buried on michigan's depth chart.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Oversigning isn't measured [Body]

Output: Oversigning isn't measured until the end of the recruiting year.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Title] There's literally zero chance [Body]

Output: There's literally zero chance that guys like Gary will be turned away.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] People have said the same [Body]

Output: People have said the same thing prior to each of the past several seasons. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I think you're generally [Body]

Output: I think you're generally right. But most of the 2-stars will become 3s. And a few 3s will become 4s. It's just the nature of the beast. Under the radar kids who make high-profile commits inevitably get more attention and benefit of the doubt.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Given the universe of random [Body]

Output: Given the universe of random OT posts -- where to dine in Paris, Game of Thrones blather -- this doesn't seem off-base. It involves a blue-chip player at a B10 football rival.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Which reliable people? I [Body]

Output: Which reliable people? I don't see anyone at the big sites saying this.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Well, he's evidently alone in [Body]

Output: Well, he's evidently alone in that opinion, since none of the other "experts" has Jackson to Michigan.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Perhaps you haven't been [Body]

Output: Perhaps you haven't been informed that we probably have roughly 10 more slots to fill. The class is likely to end up closer to 25 than 14, according to most "insiders." We could easily end up with 10-12 4-stars (and maybe one or two 5-stars). Also, most of our 2-stars will end up as 3-stars; some of the 3-stars will become 4s. We could very likely end up with a Top 10 class. Top 15, at worst.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Seriously, do you not realize [Body]

Output: Seriously, do you not realize we'd end up with 10-12 three-stars no matter what (assuming a class close to 25)? Nobody recruits 90 percent 4-5 stars. We still have about 20 spots saved for the tougher gets, who tend to hold out until later in the process. Better to fill out your roster now, then focus on the touch pulls. We'll get some, lose some. But the current pattern makes sense.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Morris has two left, I think. [Body]

Output: Morris has two left, I think.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] But they're not all taking [Body]

Output: But they're not all taking the place of 4 stars. We still have maybe a dozen more slots. No team except maybe the top few gets all 4-5 stars. In the end, we could still have two-thirds four stars. And that's excellent. So calm down.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I think you possibly [Body]

Output: I think you possibly overestimate the degree to which coaching at camps ultimately matters. You can only learn so much in such a very short time, especially when there's like 20 other qbs there. These camps are mostly about PR and ego.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I don't get why everyone [Body]

Output: I don't get why everyone keeps using the word retirement when what he actually said is that he's taking a year or so off from the NFL.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Every team on every board has [Body]

Output: Every team on every board has the complain. Except ND.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Title] They're playing rattled. Hit [Body]

Output: They're playing rattled. Hit batter. Bad decision on bunt. Bad fielding decision on hit.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 4 days ago [Title] It's a little beyond me why [Body]

Output: It's a little beyond me why people post stuff like this on a Michigan sports blog.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Title] In order to prove his point, [Body]

Output: In order to prove his point, perhaps it was be advisable for Jay to use correct spelling and grammar.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Yeah. Because one guy didn't [Body]

Output: Yeah. Because one guy didn't work out a zillion years ago, let's avoid foreign players. It's a smaller world now with better scouting.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 5 days ago [Title] So actually you're saying [Body]

Output: So actually you're saying Schefter is a patently unethical journalist who whores for the NFL?


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 11 hours ago [Title] Please. Game of Thrones is a [Body]

Output: Please. Game of Thrones is a cheesy fantasy show for adolescent boys.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Yeah. There's no reason to [Body]

Output: Yeah. There's no reason to believe he performs an invaluable service for the coach. He never has in the past. And barely spent time on this job. So chances are he's just a crony.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Why do so many posters here [Body]

Output: Why do so many posters here assume Winston will go to Michigan? The recruiting sites pretty much universally call him a heavy MSU lean. Am I missing something?


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Title] God it's tiresome when [Body]

Output: God it's tiresome when defensive posters whine about every little perceived slight by the Free Press or MSM. Calm down. It's nothing. Stop being so reactionary.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] I'm all for standing. But [Body]

Output: I'm all for standing. But some posters here don't seem to appreciate that there's a substantial contingent of fans -- older ones -- who really can't comfortably stand for 3+ hours. Many of these fans are old loyalists who deserve more respect. And a lot of younger fans are inconsiderate.
