Input: [Date] 19 weeks 6 days ago [Body] 3:05 was nice too. He looked good in this video, it's nice to see that he still has that great arm he came in with, despite how bad he looked the past two years. I still think his biggest challenges are going to be decision making and consistency in his throws, which we obviously can't glean from a video like this. Still, he looked good. [Title]

Output: 3:05 was nice too. He looked


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Kicked off isn't the same as having their charter pulled, which is done by their national fraternity and not UM. To answer your question though, they have not gotten back on campus yet (though they tried and failed this year). [Title]

Input: [Date] 21 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I heard from a sorority member affected that they did basically the same amount of damage last year that they did this year but were never kicked out or reprimanded, and the going theory is that Treetops only invited them back so that they could kick them out and sue them later. I'm 100% of the belief that this was ridiculously immature behavior and those involved deserve whatever punishment they have coming... but I do believe at this point that Treetops (which is going through a bankruptcy) is just trying to make a buck off of them.

Input: [Date] 1 day 7 hours ago [Body] I thought the whole point being the legend jerseys was that the honored players and their families wanted to see the numbers out there again. Retiring them send like a step in the wrong direction. Hopefully the retirement ceremony will induced some sort of memorial for the numbers in the stadium. They were no where before, and no one but the die-hardest of the die-hards knew we had retired numbers, let alone what they were. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Body] I don't think cable demise is imminent, but it's happening eventually. I think the demise will go down at about the rate newspapers have disappeared - they've been dying for 20 years now, but most of them are still around, if very cut back. So cable isn't going away any time soon, but I bet 20 years from now the thought of expanding the conference solely for cable fees will look about as stupid as if the conference had expanded based solely on newspaper distribution 20 years ago. The sports channel race was always a house of cards based on getting fees from people who don't watch that particular sport. It's a bubble driving demand for entertainment without paying for 20 sports channels you don't care about, and eventually someone is going to reliably fill it. [Title]

Output: I don't think cable demise is


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 hours ago [Body] Potential explanation for the Houston Texans being so high: Don't they own their stadium outright, where the other teams you listed play in publicly finanaced stadiums? That could be a big part of the value of the franchise. I'm pretty sure it's the same for the three NFL teams in the top 10 as well. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I don't have a list in front of me or anything, but there were many debates about it on this site back when Three and Out came out. There were multiple places where the descriptions of games and events were factually incorrect, and some of them were immediately apparent to die hard fans. I didn't think any of the errors made a difference in the overall theme of the book or any of the conclusions reached, but some people looking to refute someone writing negatively about Michigan latched on to them as reasons to discredit the whole book. The difference between benign factual errors and making up and embellishing stories depends on your point of view after all. [Title]

Output: I don't have a list in front


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Body] The orangey-yellow....not so much. That orangey-yellow reminds me of an era when color control wasn't as good, so if you asked for something in yellow, it could come in just about any shade. I'm pretty sure most of the love for orange is coming from people remembering their cheap shirts from Steve and Barry's. Five shirts for $20, who cares if they are the right shade of yellow! [Title]

Output: The orangey-yellow....not


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I don't care what the official color is, stephenrjking made a post yesterday full of historical photos and the football team hasn't been wearing the official color for as long as color photography has existed. The only pants in those photos that are close to the official color are on other teams. So I think all the people lobbying for the official color seem to be traditionalists longing for a past that never existed. This was the photo he posted at the end, and I agree. This is how the football team should look, whatever the "official" colors are. And the official colors are nowehere near this or any other color we've ever worn. I tried picking as close to this as I could without going too highlighter, and picked FECF200*. Maybe one of the lighter ones would match replicate the picture better, but it wouldn't be an orangey one. *Extra zero? FECF20? [Title]

Output: I don't care what


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Michigan pretty much is doing this as well. We had the ND series scheduled instead of those games though. And we had the Arkansas series scheduled in the break in the ND series, and have been scheduling home-and-homes with teams like that in the future in place of the canceled ND series. The problem is that these home-and-homes are being scheduled many years in advance, and the way the ND series was suddenly canceled made it hard to find games for the next few years. So it sucks for the next few years, but the blame lays mostly outside our athletic department, and change is coming in the future. [Title]

Output: Michigan pretty much is doing

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I'm not implying that - I've said in other places I don't think apparel matters anywhere near as much as the Nikebots on the board make it out. But the sort of thinking that has multiple posters here fretting about leaving money on the table *has* affected fan attendance in other ways. So while this one deal won't make much of a change in attendance, it's a hopeful signal that maybe the new leadership in the athletic department will consider something other than next quarter's revenue when making decisions, whether it affects the players or the fans. [Title]

Output: I'm not implying that - I've


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Body] This is true to a certain degree, but once you're revenues are high enough it doesn't hurt to leave a little bit of money on the table to make players and/or fans happy. In fact it may pay off even more in the long run through better recruits who win more games or happier fans who won't stop buying tickets if the team has a down period. I think the Brandon era would show the perils of making every decision based on next quarter's spreadsheets. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Body] All 18 year olds are idiots. Millenials just happen to be the ones who are 18 now. Most of us grow out of it when we get older, so give them time and they'll be replaced by a new generation of idiots who care about some other stupid thing. You were an idiot too, and if it wasn't about athletic apparel it was something else... [Title]

Output: All 18 year olds are idiots.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I'm kinda sad though. It will make zero difference to me in buying apparel, and I've seen enough crappy Nike jerseys to think it will make a difference in how the team looks. But I was sorta hoping we re-upped with Adidas so I could bath in schadenfreude during the meltdown of the Nikebots on the board. [Title]

Output: I'm kinda sad though. It will


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I hope it's better than Falk's last book though. The number of new stories those walls would tell were few and far between. Half the book was repetitive letters by other people talking about what a great guy Falk was, and most of the Falk stuff was season in review stuff that wasn't new to anyone familiar with the recent history of the program. For someone who had been inside the program for almost 40 years, there weren't very many inside stories. I wasn't exactly desparate for Falk to get back together with Ewald to get more by the time I finished. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I think it's stupid for the same reasons Brandon's focus on expanding the brand was stupid. The marginal gain from cornering the market on college football fans in Mexico City is going to be more than offset by upsetting long time season ticket holders who don't get marquee out-of-conference games with their season tickets. This is an example of taking the main revenue sources for granted while chasing people who are never going to buy Texas tickets, and that was what started the ball rolling on getting Brandon driven out of town. Any expanding the brand that occurs won't matter if your main fan base doesn't want to buy tickets any more. [Title]

Output: I think it's stupid for the


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 10 hours ago [Body] It's way easier to justify the status quo rather than further expansion if they can claim no one wants gigabit. Of course people would want gigabit if it were somewhere below $300, but they'll leave that part out. [Title]

Output: It's way easier to justify


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Is this going to be a replacement for mgoblue.com? Because I.... don't like it. At least in comparison to mgoblue.com. Maybe it's because I'm an engineer, but as far as I'm concerned function >>>>> form. Give me something that's kinda ugly but makes it easy to find the information. This looks pretty, but makes it harder to find out actual information about the teams. The worst thing I saw was the roster listing under "The Team" section for different teams. It shows 6 photos at a time, and you have to side scroll to see all the players. Not awful for the basketball team, which only has 15 members, but totally useless for the football team. Who the hell is going to scroll all the way over to Moe Ways? [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I think Drupal has less to do with the server issues and more to do with the site design though. And it seems like it's the servers that are the issue here. IIRC Brian is self-hosting this site (along with his brother's site) on personally owned servers. Anyone have a clue how much it would cost to upgrade to an actual hosting service? I think that would do way more to improve reliability than switching to WordPress. [Title]

Output: I think Drupal has less to do


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 hours ago [Body] Is anyone here not owning it? I don't think anyone here is disputing that the ultimate goal of the camps is to make connections and spread Michigan's recruting influence. But as long as Michigan is doing it in a way that is positive for the high schoolers and their coaches and not against NCAA rules, what's the problem? There isn't one unless you're and SEC coach trying to prevent outside coaches from making you work harder to land recruits. [Title]

Output: Is anyone here not owning it?


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 6 days ago [Body] CFN is generally awful because they take a newspaper approach to the internet - in an age when there is unlimited space for anyone to go in depth with a team of their choosing, they expend all their resources doing 30,000 foot overviews of *every* team. As a result, you can count on them having something about your team, but it won't be nearly as good as the stuff from sites that actually focus on your team. Way back in the day Brian reserved the Fiutakin' it tag for clueless columnists who didn't let their cluelessness get in the way of hot takes, but even that got old five years ago. And CFN is somehow still going... [Title]

Output: CFN is generally awful

Adidas gave Michigan an offer that was way beyond what anyone else was getting with Nike (or anyone else), plus they guranteed Michigan would be the highest paid team for the length of the contract. Obviously they can't gurantee every team be the highest paid, but Michigan was a big enough name to make it worth the big price to make a splash and get the Adidas brand out there. [Title]

This weekend she traveled 3 hours to see me graduate from the University of Cincinnati (I'm 41 and just finished my undergrad). She was skin and bones and looked horrible.

Output: 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.

Output: 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.

Output: 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.

Output: 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...

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 11 hours ago [Title] One big difference to my [Body]

Output: 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.

Output: 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.

Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It's an amazing album. GKMC [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Title] If that album made you feel [Body]

Output: 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.

Output: 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

Output: 3:05 was nice too. He looked good in this video, it's nice to see that he still has that great arm he came in with, despite how bad he looked the past two years. I still think his biggest challenges are going to be decision making and consistency in his throws, which we obviously can't glean from a video like this. Still, he looked good.

Output: Sure, if Calvin Johnson was a great but not game-changing WR and Reggie Wayne was a 24 year old all star...

Output: KG's reaction makes it awesome, staged or no. Edit: Is there an echo in here?


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Fair enough and like I said I [Body]

Output: Fair enough and like I said I agree with all of you. Just figured I'd share since it's relevant.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I heard from a sorority [Body]

Output: I heard from a sorority member affected that they did basically the same amount of damage last year that they did this year but were never kicked out or reprimanded, and the going theory is that Treetops only invited them back so that they could kick them out and sue them later. I'm 100% of the belief that this was ridiculously immature behavior and those involved deserve whatever punishment they have coming... but I do believe at this point that Treetops (which is going through a bankruptcy) is just trying to make a buck off of them.

Output: Name: Nunya Business Affiliation with UM: Born and raised in Ann Arbor, current undergrad at UM. Dad, mom, and grandfather all went to Michigan. Dad and grandfather both taught at Michigan. Claim to Fame: Had the same middle school gym teacher as Jim Harbaugh (Mr Lily at Tappan!) Friend Who Needs To Stop Snooping On My Account: Eli

Output: It's log, it's log, It's big, it's heavy, it's wood. It's log, it's log, It's better than bad, it's good!


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: It's easy to create a bunch of freaky symbols and allusions. It's a lot harder to tie them all together coherently in a way that's satisfying. In the end, they didn't even try. They just stole some creepy imagery from Se7en (dangling air fresheners) and turned McConnaughey and Harrellson's storyline into your classic love-hate buddy cliché.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Both agree and disagree [Body]

Output: I really enjoyed the metaphysical aspects in the first four episodes, but was disappointed (hugely) when the principal bad guy turned out to be your classic weirdo living in a shack in the woods. To me, the show didn't live up to the tremendous potential of its first four episods. Season two seems bleaker, and doesn't have the esoteric setting and regional flair of season one (rural Louisiana versus a burb of Los Angeles). Also, Harrelson's friction with McConaughey provided some levity that this season doesn't have so far. If this was a new series, and not True Detective, I probably wouldn't be that interested in keeping up with it after episode one. But maybe this one will finish stronger than it starts. (Does anyone else think the direction so far sucks? All those face close-ups at the end . . .)


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Exactly [Body]

Output: Editors write headlines, not reporters. And the editors wrote the headline, "Michigan football program broke rules, players say," which is factually false. So the editors are as complicit and involved as the reporters. A story that big with those implications does not go to press without many, many people signing off on it. I would bet no fewer than 15 people, including every sports reporter, plus the sports desk editors, managing editor, and executive editor, had a look and OK'd everything. If you know the newspaper business, you know a report like that implicates many more people than Rosenberg and Snyder.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Title] No [Body]

Output: As a journalist and a guy who wrote for a newspaper (in DC) when Stretchgate went down, the entire incident was so ethically and professionally disgusting that it's sickening to think people will just shrug their shoulders and forget about it. I wish I could come up with an appropriate analogy . . . maybe something along the lines of bankers who knowingly mislead clients and sell them junk investments to make a profit for themselves. If these guys were gone from the Freep, I could understand giving the new reporters/editors a chance. But until that happens, no one should let these assholes off the hook for what they did. They never apologized or issued a retraction, even when it came to light that they'd eggregiously overstated things. And as another commenter brought up, they showed they were still willing to jump on UM with both feet when we announced a few minor violations a month or two ago. Seriously, fuck them.


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

Output: No one argues UCLA, Cal, Santa Cruz, Davis, or any of the other UC schools are all the same. I think this only comes up with UM because of sports fandom.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I think many people would [Body]

Output: I think many people would disagree with you. Unlike Berkeley and UM, UVA seems to have a much more extreme bias in favor of in-state applicants. I've heard it's nearly impossible to get in from outside of Virginia, but not too tough if you're in-state. I think you could make an argument for any one of those three for top public university.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Or maybe Harbaugh just wants [Body]

Output: Or maybe Harbaugh just wants more competition and more options at the most important position on his football team. We could go with that instead of bashing one of our own players.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 6 days ago [Title] All that's "clear" is that a [Body]

Output: All that's "clear" is that a high school senior had a hard time choosing between two good football schools. Weber cited the Higdon signing as a reason for his OSU committment because he felt mislead by our coaches, not because he was afraid of competition. As others have speculated, he may have just felt the need to say something to justify his decision to people who wanted him to go to Michigan. In any case, bashing a kid who chooses another school, for whatever reason, is pretty classless and reflects poorly on Michigan fans.


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Title] Couldn't agree more [Body]

Output: I felt like there was a major shift (and dropoff) from the tone and grandness of the early episodes to the last two, and the finale really felt boring and conventional to me. The dangling air fresheners and the man strapped to the bed seemed like blatant knockoffs of the film Seven, and the buddy-buddy neatness of Marty and Rust coming together in the end as better men just felt like a betrayal of their earlier characters. I loved the series, but really felt let down by the finale.


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] * The offense is terrible [Body]

Output: We have a top 20 D, and those guys are getting absolutely no help from the other side of the ball. Most of the bad drives against us have come after full quarters or halves of total ineptitude from the offense. My greatest fear is that we somehow look halfway competent against Ohio State, and Borges will get to keep his job one more year. Success this season is now defined by whether we can get Al Borges off our coaching staff. If he stays, another whole season is lost.


Input: [Date] 1 year 40 weeks ago [Title] Not sure about the wording. [Body]

Output: Not sure about your wording. But yeah, something along the lines of, "You tend to shit your pants and turtle during road games. For examples, recall every significant road game since you've been our OC. Should we prepare for more of the same in two weeks?"


Input: [Date] 1 year 40 weeks ago [Title] Not sure if this is a common [Body]

Output: Not sure if this is a common sentiment, but two breast cancers sufferers I know (one no longer with us) both told me repeatedly that October was their least favorite month because they were constantly being reminded of their disease.


Input: [Date] 1 year 51 weeks ago [Title] This kind of rebuttal is overdue. [Body]

Output: I'm curious, has anyone seen research supporting the idea that players who quit football after college suffer from the same long-term health consequences as the pros? I'm under the impression the types of health concerns leading to all these rule changes take years to develop, and so mostly affect pros, who are extremely well paid to take such health risks. I don't understand why the media are suddenly up in arms about football players' safety and not talking about all of the other dangerous professions. No one's calling for an end to Alaskan crab fishing, even though the people on Deadliest Catch risk their lives for our entertainment and so we can all enjoy crab, and make a hell of a lot less than the worst-paid pro football player. I understand the desire to protect college players, who are unpaid, but is there any research showing that they're in danger of long-term neurological issues?

Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] The worst was the blocking foul on Burke. [Body]

Output: Down three with 30 seconds left, I thought that foul call on Wisonsin's dunk was more frustrating. Gave them the tie. It seemed to work out when Hardaway knocked down the 3, but after all the no calls on Burke and McGary drives, that was ludicrous.

Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Title] Related [Body]

Output: A few months ago when all the Bounty-gate stuff was breaking and Saints fans were accusing the NFL and ESPN of "having it out for them," Cowherd went on a rant about how they all sounded just like OSU fans whining about how the NCAA was out to get them regarding the tattoos and Tressel's screw-ups. He then said something long the lines of "Wake up, Saints fans. The NFL isn't out to get you, but they also don't need you. You're new money. You're not the Giants or the Packers. You're not Michigan or Alabama Football. You're Oregon. You're hot now, but no one will care that much if you go away for a while." It was satisfying, if inflammatory.


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Title] Justified [Body]

Output: Anyone else catch the UM reference on Justified a few weeks ago? The character Quarles (who is awesome, btw) is from Detroit, and says he's a Michigan B-school grad. He follows that up with a "Go Blue." I was fully hard.


Input: [Date] 3 years 17 weeks ago [Title] You make your own luck. [Body]

Output: Felt I had to comment since my mug is featured in this post. I respect Brian's affinity for stats and numbers, but I think this is one of those cases in which they only paint part of the picture. If he wants to believe that luck is the primary factor that explains the turnover discrepency between RR's teams and team 132, and that "if the season were played 1,000 times" then they would both be a lot closer to the mean, than that's fine. But I don't buy it. Teams practice turnover drills and swarming to the football for a reason.

Output: I lose awareness of anything and evrythign apart from the game. I go from wild jubilation to scathing wrath from one play to the next. If Michigan is not executing every facet of the game perfectly, I am a colassal prick. Any questions directed my way by anyone apart from a daily MGoBlog reader will be ignored or answered in two words or less. My fiancee went to MSU, and during the game tomorrow I will look on her with different eyes (the enemy!) and wonder how I ever thought she was cool enough to date. It usually takes us a week to fully recover from my bad behavior.

I did it for fun and I look back at sports as the main reason I've been successful.

I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to pictures on facebook. Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I was captain of the football team, and starter on my basketball team.

Input: [Date] 4 years 16 weeks ago [Body] A case in which the defendants were black or Mexican and poor would have been handled entirely differently from this one, in which the defendants are white and affluent. If the charges proved erroneous, my opinion would of course change as, unlike the defendants in the Duke case, they would not be able to absorb the damage to their reputation in the same way, if at all. But again, I do not harbor any particular resentment for this person. She is clearly a ritual screw-up, and finds herself in good company with the rest of humanity in that regard. [Title]

Output: Unfortunately, that's an entirely different dynamic


Input: [Date] 4 years 16 weeks ago [Body] But, given that they got into Duke and had names like "Reid Seligmann", I have a feeling that, after those harrowing months, they got on pretty well. I'm just having a tough time dredging up care from give-a-shit-bay for rich, white men. They went to Duke. Chances are they transferred to schools of relatively equal quality. I think they can absorb the shock of having to live a hard life for a couple months. This case has been used in the past and will continue to be used - as one isolated instance where one woman actually bullshitted a rape story against these guys - in attempts to delegitimize further claims of rape and sexual impropriety by women, especially those of color and those who are economically disadvantaged. So yeah, this woman is clearly a screw-up. The OP - and others who want her punished for her lies years after the fact - seem particularly vindictive in this case, and while I won't bother to guess at their motivations, that disturbs me.

Input: [Date] 4 years 50 weeks ago [Body] To declare one level of the game definitively better than the other is inherently ridiculous. You may prefer watching college football more, but that doesn't make it "better" than pro football. I'll wager if you grew up outside Foxboro, you'll find Patriots games a whole lot more compelling than even Ohio State-Michigan, while in SEC country, you wouldn't trade Florida-Alabama for Falcons-Saints in a million years. Sports fandom is an increasingly regionalist entity; in the Midwest, we're essentially divided down the middle between college and pro fandom, having a recent history of success at both levels (except for the Lions and Browns, I suppose).

Output: I would love to see this, but it would be tough to pull him away from USC.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 6 days ago [Title] As a USF alumni who was on [Body]

Output: As a USF alumni who was on campus at the time I can tell you that the incident was an excuse not a cause. It was blown way out of proportion and it was more because of people higher up having a personal dislike for Jim Leavitt and eyeing Skip Holtz. That single decision has destroyed the program and hopefully Taggart can bring some credibility back. With that said, I would be beyond thrilled with Jim Leavitt being on Michigan's staff. He is a fantastic coach who has produced results everywhere he has been.


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 2 days ago [Title] To be fair that was a [Body]

Output: To be fair that was a football play and both players were moving quickly. He was punished for it by the flag, and will likely get a fine, but a suspension would be ridiculous. He has no history of head hunting and it was likely just a simple mistake. Raiola on the other hand has a reputation for scummy behavior (ex. diving at legs during a kneel down) and blatantly tried to injure an opposing player after a play. Raiola has no excuse for his behavior.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 3 days ago [Title] No, you are just a prick. [Body]

Output: No, you are just a prick.


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 2 days ago [Title] So because the Lions weren't [Body]

Output: So because the Lions weren't playing well it's ok that the referees were incompetent? This is an argument I see frequently to defend bad calls and it makes no logicial sense.


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Yeah, I mean it's not like [Body]

Output: Yeah, I mean it's not like Michigan has a coach on staff right now that has been here since the Stone Age or anything right?


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 2 days ago [Title] The drugs you are on... [Body]

Output: I want some.


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 3 days ago [Title] He is a Browns fan. He is [Body]

Output: He is a Browns fan. He is hoping Denard does well, but not so much so that the Jags beat his team.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Arizona has beaten Oregon [Body]

Output: Arizona has beaten Oregon twice in a row, so much for losing 9 of 10.


Input: [Date] 1 year 6 days ago [Title] Are you from Michigan? It's a [Body]

Output: Are you from Michigan? It's a widely held verbal tradition for people in Michigan to refer to institutions as plural or possessive when it doesn't exist in the actual name. Ex Walmarts, Kmarts, Meijers, Krogers .


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Title] I don't know who this Bo guy [Body]

Output: I don't know who this Bo guy thinks he is wearing that "ugly thing", he needs to get on board with the brand and stop ruining Michigan tradition.


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Title] I did but I am on my phone so [Body]

Output: I did but I am on my phone so I can't post any right now. He was really friendly and was joking around with everyone. I am still through the roof that I got to meet one of my childhood heroes.


Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Title] I'm sorry but this is wrong. [Body]

Output: I'm sorry but this is wrong. I mean no disrespect to the women who serve our country, but to say there is no difference in their physical abilities is just false. I say this as someone who comes from a family where women have served in the military many times, and while I respect their service I wouldn't want any of them sitting trying to carry me out of a firefight.


Input: [Date] 1 year 24 weeks ago [Title] I don't think the trade [Body]

Output: I don't think the trade itself was the issue so much as how Joe D used the cap room generated from the trade. Picking up AI's expiring contract was a smooth move. Using the money he freed up to sign Gordon and Charlie V however was the big problem.


Input: [Date] 1 year 24 weeks ago [Title] Easily one of the best Hip [Body]

Output: Easily one of the best Hip Hop producers of all time. Dilla was so far ahead of his time.


Input: [Date] 1 year 37 weeks ago [Title] I think Gardner compares [Body]

Output: I think Gardner compares pretty fairly to a sophomore year Vince Young who was frustratingly inconsistent until he exploded in the Rose Bowl (make it stop).


Input: [Date] 1 year 40 weeks ago [Title] Their CEO gets over 650k a [Body]

Output: Their CEO gets over 650k a year. The charity itself spends only about a quarter of it's money on research and treatment. I will not give a dime on my money to them.


Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Title] As someone of Czech heritage [Body]

Output: As someone of Czech heritage I would love to visit my ancestral homeland and watch some Michigan football at the same time. Since I know Dave Brandon is reading this comment; make it happen.


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] I think it's the difference [Body]

Output: I think it's the difference between playing at home and on the road.


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] This is why we need upvotes [Body]

Output: This is why we need upvotes back.


Input: [Date] 5 years 46 weeks ago [Title] Hey whoa Hey [Body]

Output: Whoa whoa whoa wait up a minute 'peoples' this is a game in which the Notre Dame Fighting Irish have a lil more to lose than the Michigan Wolverines. Guess what,"We're still rebuilding here in Michigan people!" Notre Dame needs to be 'rebuilt' by this game. This is a coronation moment for both Clausen and Weis. This is a big, if not huge game, for Mr. Charlie Weis. If Michigan wins, think about it, with the big tens performance this past week, Michigan will more than likely still not be ranked. Rather Notre Dame will just slide out of the rankings. The idea that at week 2, a non ranked 3-9 of last year, can slide into the top 25 at 2-0 is ludicrous. AND I DON'T WANT MICHIGAN RANKED TILL THEY BEAT A RANKED TEAM ON THE ROAD! Michigan, with freshman QB's, a never quit attitude(MUCH LIKE NAVY HAD), and the idea that WERE THE UNDERDOG can really make this a game.


Input: [Date] 5 years 46 weeks ago [Title] People need to talk about [Body]

Output: People need to talk about that O-line of Michigan. If all goes well Saturday I think they will some more. One thing Michigan had on Saturday was tempo. Tempo, overall game tempo is tough to get or control when you are playing an evenly matched team. I believe these two teams are now evenly matched given Michigan's home field and last game played. But fret not young Michigan and just hang with them punch for punch until the last ticks of the clock.


Input: [Date] 5 years 46 weeks ago [Title] Nice [Body]

Output: There seems to be a friendly game of can you top this, as far as play making goes amongst the younger Michigan team. I mean this both offensively and defensively. Very good sign, very good. Carlos Brown, I mean, is anyone that overly concerned now with the idea of starting Brown? With the play of Koger is anyone overly bummed about Sims at MSU? The players were holding onto the football, taking big hits and then stretching the plays for an extra 2-3 yards. There seems to be a developing sense of,"we, the young guys of Michigan, want to take ownership and show what we can do." To me, that's family values 101. One of the few negatives I heard, and I heard it from people who could care less about Michigan. But they all said,"You got blanked in the 2nd half. Did they figure out your schemes in the 2nd or what?" I did not notice there were no points in the 2nd and I still think there were points in the 2nd half. But if there were not I'd write it off to experimentation and to the idea that,"Dude, we're up 31-0 at halftime." The reality is, for all teams on Michigans schedule, that you can't really look at Forcier as a freshman anymore. And you cannot sleep on that offense.


Input: [Date] 5 years 46 weeks ago [Title] He will be a great guy and [Body]

Output: He will be a great guy and coach here. I mean in the long view, when people give the guy some room to do his thing. Perception is a weird thing. Because the guy, I mean coach, could be smiling and teaching and have that moment not on TV. And then the media could cherry pic and seek out the moment where he blows his cool and then air that. I want to see the public or overall narrative changed on Coach Rodriguez because he is a likable guy. But he's a football guy and there's nothing wrong with that. Recommending a football coach to smile more is kind of chintzy and lame. I mean it's football for God's sakes! But, I also think the days or Woody Hayes are long gone. You almost have to be part coach, part baby-sitter and a full time pr guy. Who also has an agent by the way. All in all, with all the crap that goes along with it, college football coaching is not for the timid. One can deduce that from following Michigan and Rich as of late. "Win one for RR," is my motto.


Input: [Date] 5 years 46 weeks ago [Title] As the author of this [Body]

Output: As the author of this mgoboard posting, I can say not much thought went into it. I am sitting here nervously hoping we don't lose tomorrow. The typing part, is just therapy.


Input: [Date] 5 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Perception, period. [Body]

Output: Jim Rome said the same thing. Actually Rome said something to the effect of,"And he'd better hope most of the team has bought in or there will be something to really cry about. And if they lose to Western, look out Michigan." In all of this, every moment of controversy that has happened from day one, it has been about perception and the handling of how things went down. Some one on ESPN radio said, paraphrasing again,"throughtout the hiring process you wished there were handlers in the athletic department managing the overall output of the decisions upon the brand name of Michigan. And in the press conference as well." The question you the reader have to ask yourself is,"Do you think the guy knew he was going to tear up before going in?" In some ways that's what journalists who take the,"He teared up?" avenue may be thinking. I dont think a coach gets emotional on cue. If I was making desicions and part of the athletic dept. I would've already put Brian on payroll and asked him to be the handler of all things media. He has the insight and the youth. Once again, if Michigan wins, people will shut up.


Input: [Date] 5 years 47 weeks ago [Title] Good Football Weather! [Body]

Output: What's the forecast on Michigan Football as of today??? Well, the 'shot across the brow' of Michigans Football vessel has been taken. As I watched the news today, the interviews and season felt like it came a week early. In some ways, this may serve advantageous to the mindset of the warriors involved in this up and coming football game. It should be a better, more focused week of game prep. It's a must win game. Will Michigan lose games this year? Could Michigan possibly lose to Western Michigan? Could Michigan win it's first 4? Yes, to all. Don't be surprised if this game is close and don't be surprised if its a blowout. I mean that for both squads. It's essential that the Wolverines take a rational, methodical approach on both offense and defense. The idea that emotion can be harnessed, or the idea of playing off of it has kind of left the building. At this point, it's just for the love of the game. At this point, for the players, coaches and fans of Michigan Football, you will win and lose quietly.


Input: [Date] 5 years 47 weeks ago [Title] He must complete the training! [Body]

Output: Physically, he(#7 Devin Gardner) has all the tools. He is taller, and moves side to side as well as he does when he squares his shoulders and runs up field. BUT, and I hate to sound like some crusty curmudgeon, he is not a jedi yet.


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Title] The NFL is different [Body]

Output: I just don't see it long term. People talk of the core ideas of offensive football changing from an offensive formation. That formation being the spread. Did Donovan McNabb make his money in the NFL running the ball or from his scrambling mobility? Think of Steve Young firing lasers to T. Owens. Think of any running vs scrambling QB and you'll see scramblers, who are tall with good instincts and passing ability succeeding in the NFL. For gods sakes Eli Manning is the highest paid NFL player. Dude couldnt run our spread if he tried. To make money in any professional sport, you need reps. You do not currently get enough reps when as a NFL QB you're only reps come from running the Wildcat. McNabb, he made his money by scrambling and also being an adept passer. As a QB, first and foremost you need to be able to throw the football. Sorry, but it's a job req. and it always will be. A running QB will rarely be franchised(because of fear of injury) by anyone looking to throw money at a young college kid. Even Timothy Tebow will have to prove himself as a drop back passer in the coming years in the NFL. The fact is there is no way D. Rob or even Darth Forcier garner the NFL looks Barkely will, should all stay healthy. With Mark Sanchez starting as a rookie in the NFL in his first game you have the perfect analog for Barkely. The reality is here and is no longer on the horizon. USC is winning with the old Michigan ideas and formulas. And thus the idea and title of QB U has passed to them. So the idea of a 'draftable' high round QB from Michigan is no more. Maybe, maybe Gardner should be develop though.


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Yeah, it is weird that a [Body]

Output: Yeah, it is weird that a freshman is STARTING let alone playing at the QB position. BUT, it seems to me, that once the game starts, USC, no matter who is running what position, just takes over the game. As a Wolverine fan at Quarterback 'U,' it will be tough watching pro-style QB after pro-style QB from USC get drafted over ours. It is really a no brainer that a healthy Barkley, in two-three years time, garners 1st round draft money over what we currently have at UofM. And that is also another reason why Denard Robinson should stay(shows commitment and loyalty) at Michigan should be not find time at the QB position. Because if he's that fast and skilled, an NFL team will make room for him somewhere at some position.


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Drop back:Spread [Body]

Output: How many college spread QB's, below 6'0, start in the NFL as of today? Versus the percentage of college based drop back passers who start? How about a ratio of how many qb's per roster is spread based vs drop back?


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Agreed. [Body]

Output: Agreed.


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Title] They'll be alright [Body]

Output: They'll be alright


Input: [Date] 5 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Western Michigan is a MUST win for the Wolves [Body]

Output: Wait, must win? Yeah, must win. Weird as hell to utter it aloud if you are a long time supporter of Wolverine Football. However, don't kid yourself, it's a huge game. When I think of UofM football I think of the 2006 season. 11-0, opening day victory over an SEC team. Then a M.A.C.-CMU drubbing, followed by a line of consecutive victories. And then barely losing to tOSU, coupled with a bowl game loss to the PAC-10. But, I think my history of Michigan Football kind of stops there. It then merges into a moment, a moment I am still sort of in. After giving up 21 points in the second quarter and the ensuing 34-32 opening day loss to Appalachian State, my ability to remember what I knew of Michigan is lost. My point is this, you can play 3,4 or 5 QB's coach if you want. But this team and it's fan need to stop the bleeding and win a home opener. I WISH it were like basketball or baseball where you could try this and that in pre-season tournaments. Football is a different animal, especially in these days of the BCS. So, if you are hoping to go to a bowl game as a Wolverine fan(as I am), well, I hope WMU is a W for you(us).


Input: [Date] 5 years 49 weeks ago [Title] http://www.mgoblue.com/footba [Body]


Input: [Date] 5 years 49 weeks ago [Title] "Punt Catch Team" [Body]

Output: As a punt returner, the only thing you really have to do is field or catch the punted football. Personally I am not concerned one bit if their return yards are in the negative. The concern is a special teams turnover after our defense has caused a three and out! I would hope the special teams coach changes the name of the punt return team to the punt-catch team. You only have to catch it fellas. Fair catch if it helps!


Input: [Date] 5 years 50 weeks ago [Title] Multiple Guess [Body]

Output: On Mgoblue the video of the day shows a bruised coach. What's the rumor mill saying about Coach Smith's black eye? a. Feagin clocked him on the way out. b. Mallett hit him at a bar while on a recruiting trip. c. While recruiting Braxton Miller he _______. d. he signed up for jujitsu class.


Input: [Date] 6 years 2 weeks ago [Title] I agree here. Brian is one of [Body]

Output: I agree here. Brian is one of the best, natural writers around. I feel it's the subject matter that brings out the beasties and troll like replies. Subject matter being sports. I think we've all left some replies out there that have sucked. But because of Brian we're all still here able to comment and ramble.


Input: [Date] 6 years 2 weeks ago [Title] f.y.i. [Body]


Input: [Date] 6 years 2 weeks ago [Title] I like the way Ellen uses [Body]

Output: I like the way Ellen uses alumnus in this commencement speech. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JccudODwwY


Input: [Date] 6 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Fa- la- la - la [Body]

Output: This is just how you are judged in the long view when you lose. If he wins, his cursing, whether at you or at those around you, is something akin to a verbal anointment. If he wins, he could not cut his grass for a month and post a sign in his yard that read,"F-You, You cut my Effing Grass," and people would mindlessly cut it. Cheering merrily as they go.


Input: [Date] 6 years 4 weeks ago [Title] A year like that will cause a [Body]

Output: A year like that will cause a drop off or dip in recruiting. But there is a real concern in the areas of recruiting for the d-line and LB's.


Input: [Date] 6 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Solid Prospect. [Body]

Output: The more reps this young man gets the more dividends he'll pay off. And it is weird saying that about someone so young and inexperienced at the QB position. He understands reads well for being as young as he is. He has older brothers who have played QB. Also guys like Marv Marinovich helping with this facet or area of learning. Secondly, he has great technique and like Brian said is freakishly accurate. Lastly he is a good scrambler who can do a lil running. But the most important thing I saw at the spring game is that he wants to take ownership of the offense. By the time he's a senior he'll be barking and coaching on the field. Should he stay healthy, he will be tough to dethrone over the years. Just a great fit all the way around for Michigan fans. Should be a fun four years.


Input: [Date] 6 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Ha [Body]

Output: Ha


Input: [Date] 6 years 4 weeks ago [Title] I think Forcier is a great [Body]

Output: I think Forcier is a great pickup for Michigan. There needs to be some kind of forward motion, or the identification of some of the missing puzzle pieces that Coach Rodriguez and Michigan fans need. And this recruit landing in Ann Arbor is one of those pieces. The downside is that he scrambles and then gets a zinger or dinger laid on. Height is really not an issue simply because he played taller in the spring game. Scrambling was not an issue either because he was elusive in the spring game. The fear is the spaces in between where the play breaks down, causing the scramble, and some random 200 plus LB'er or lineman simply falling/tackling the young man. Because there will be breakdowns, 3rd and longs and other obvious passing plays where he will scramble, be elusive and be one on one with some bigger people in the open field. His loss would significantly hurt the passing rhythm of the Michigan offensive attack. Not that Jack Kennedy and Denard Robinson cannot throw. Great recruit, hard worker, so heres to sliding into tackles and staying healthy fella!


Input: [Date] 6 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Wow [Body]

Output: Wow


Input: [Date] 6 years 5 weeks ago [Title] what a video! wow..... [Body]

Output: what a video! wow.....


Input: [Date] 6 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Heart and intellect trump [Body]

Output: Heart and intellect trump height and speed for the most part. I'm sure they see something they can work with here. If you can be a point guard and quarterback you can definitely use those skills & knowledge in man-to-man coverage and zone reads as a corner back. So I like this pick up alot for RR and Grrr.


Input: [Date] 6 years 5 weeks ago [Title] The easy whipping boy [Body]

Output: I hope Threet makes all PAC-10 first team by his sr. year under Dennis Erickson! And then I hope he gets drafted high in the NFL! Same for Mallett! That guy, Threet, has a lot of justice on his side man. Threet was somewhat altruistic in my opinion last year. Namely because he was playing for a school he loved when getting called out socially by am offensive coach who'd been there one year! For a redshirt freshman, he took more than his share of blame. Knowing damn well he'd be forgotten and wrote off completely. He learned a great lesson last year that could really help that young man out long term. He wasn't coddled that's for sure. It's an endless debate about the bare cupboards. I get that. But I think when Steve Threet came in against Utah and dropped that pass to Hemingway in the corner, it said something. That CB was pretty good as well. Here's the thing, people judge you when you do great things with an empty cupboard, not a full one. I get CFB is about winning, but there is a game within the game as well. As good as Gardner, Forcier are and will be, I am still concerned by the handling of Threet. My opinion.


Input: [Date] 6 years 5 weeks ago [Title] For Michigan this is a huge [Body]

Output: For Michigan this is a huge acquisition. Good Luck!


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 12 hours ago [Title] Nope [Body]

Output: According to Forbes, the Lions are the only NFL team to lose money last year, and have done so for 4 straight years.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Filpulla would be 5th in points on the wings [Body]

Output: 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


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Title] They gave up a top 50 prospect [Body]

Output: but if you are OK with just throwing those guys away for literally nothing, then it's a fine deal


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Title] That's being a bit generous [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 4 days ago [Title] It's Grey [Body]

Output: Which seems a little dumb to me. Schools with a lot of green probably should avoid this.


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Steiber is a beast [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Finally, I contribute something of value [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 2 days ago [Title] They've won a single playoff game in 57 years [Body]

Output: It would, in fact, be surprising if the Lions made the super bowl.


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: 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


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Title] All you need to know about MSU wrestling [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Fun fact [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I was terrified this was Coach Schiano [Body]

Output: Sorry man, if you end up here, but the thought of Greg Schiano in a Michigan polo makes my skin crawl, and I puke a little in my mouth


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I thought Saban and Les were already making more [Body]

Output: At least IIRC there were a few guys in the 6 million a year range at that time


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Did you know [Body]

Output: That if you twist one of your e's into a u, and the other into an h, your name is an anagram of Harbaugh? .... Harbaugh?


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

Output: Still more work in college. Acquiring players is just a much more time consuming task in CFB than it is in the NFL.


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Sorry if this is out of line, but here's some wild ass speculati [Body]

Output: 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


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 1 day ago [Title] P.J. Fleck is the name you were looking for [Body]

Output: Row the dang boat


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 3 days ago [Title] How much does he put into the dolphins? [Body]

Output: It's not like owning an NFL team is cheap


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Too smart for his own good? [Body]

Output: Christ you sound like Skip Bayless with that


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Don't diss Wet Herrera [Body]

Output: The greatest coach in the history of organized sports


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Title] They are 20 million over the cap next year [Body]

Output: 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


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I can see it now [Body]

Output: "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"


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Title] He's a GIANT improvement defensively [Body]

Output: going from the worst OF in the game to Cespedes is a huge upgrade, and he's at least as good offensively as Hunter


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Title] That might be bullshit [Body]

Output: 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


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: It was 3. You can get Simon's production off the damn scrap heap, you don't need to be trading players for it.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 5 days ago [Title] He's hot ass garbage [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Was Harbaugh at Stanford for 11 years? [Body]

Output: Or are you just gonna ignore that part of it?


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Title] You could make it about the product too [Body]

Output: They have been extra terrible lately. The fact that they even published the Dr. Football bullshit shows where they are


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Much like the 49'ers O-line [Body]

Output: I failed to properly execute, and have double posted.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Title] O-line regression is probably the biggest culprit [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Title] To steal a line from PFT_Commenter [Body]

Output: this is about teling not speling smh


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Sorry [Body]

Output: But local papers aren't going to stop covering a coaching search at a Michigan out of common courtesy.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I follow him on Twitter [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 8 hours ago [Title] Stephen Ross doesn't either [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 8 hours ago [Title] I was at the Oregon game [Body]

Output: It wasn't all sunshine and fucking rainbows


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 8 hours ago [Title] He's not Hoke [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 8 hours ago [Title] The lid won't be as tight [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] The results are in! [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Schiano is literally last on my list [Body]

Output: Like, I'm reaching out to Howard Schnellenberger before Schiano. He might be ahead of O'Neal, actually.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] What was that old nickname for the big ten? [Body]

Output: Big 2, little 8? Remember that? Take out the stuff before forward passing was invented and Nebraska is on even footing with Michigan.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Stop it with your filthy facts [Body]

Output: 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


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Hes constantly putting up crazy offensive numbers [Body]

Output: 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"


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Not even close [Body]

Output: I mean, big bang theory pulls like a 4.5, walking dead is damn near 9. Talking dead might out draw BBT by now.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] They've been pretty close [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] He will be the head of Alexandria [Body]

Output: Who's name escapes me. But yeah, charismatic nice guy in WAAAAY over his head? That's Brady


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Still depends entirely on him [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] The one thing you need with Miles [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Sorry, he doesn't get a pass [Body]

Output: anytime they go up against an offense with a pulse they put up 35. He's good, not great.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I think it was the way that was presented [Body]

Output: 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


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 4 days ago [Title] One of the best [Body]

Output: 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.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] "smoked the SEC" [Body]

Output: Is the key phrase. The SEC title, which LSU won that year.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Problem is I don't have faith in that [Body]

Output: 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?


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Title] yep, nothing is worth anything [Body]

Output: 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!


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Oh, I don't know [Body]

Output: Maybe someone who has run or even been involved in an athletic department before?


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 6 days ago [Title] You're entirely correct there [Body]

Output: 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.
