Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] I was in the same situation [Body]

Output: I was in the same situation after my first year. I thought law school would be interesting and make me a more well-rounded person for whatever job I decided to pursue, and I was hoping to do something in the public interest sector. However, I seriously considered leaving. Among other reasons, I hated focusing on the academic side 24/7. I decided to give the second year a try, but I wanted to try something different - doing something I liked. I volunteered at a legal aid office, got involved in some of the school organizations, and joined one of the school's legal clinics. It made my experience a lot better because I found that I actually cared about what I was doing. So if you want any advice, I would say tough out that first year, and then think about what initially interested you in law school. From there, pursue activities, organizations, and opportunities that relate to those initial reasons for going.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] I am bitter [Body]

Output: I wasn't thrilled when Brady Hoke was hired, especially with all the big names being thrown around. I found that I was extremely frustrated, however, when reading reactions from the traditional media outlets and former players. It is great that these two factions are now once again "all in" for Michigan, but where were they during the RichRod era? Why couldn't they give the same support? Now, Braylon Edwards and Michael Rosenberg are telling me that I am supposed to be excited about this hire and "all in" for the team. It's ridiculous. If the likes of Cato June and Aaron Shea really support Michigan, they should have done so through thick and thin, regardless of who the coach was. Yet, because it was not Michigan football the way they wanted it to be, they decide who they should support, and I am supposed to blindly follow. Whether alluded to or bluntly stated, I hear a lot of people saying that they want things back to the way they were with Coach Carr. It seems people remember what he did differently from me because I recall a 1-5 record against Tressel, a traditional Rose Bowl demolishing, and an inability to stop a running quarterback. I was excited Michigan decided to take a step in a new direction that would finally address these problems. I do not necessarily think RichRod was the right person for the job given the on-field results and the numerous player transfers, but I continue to wonder "what if" when it comes to the support he should have received from these two factions that were so opposed to him from Day 1. Maybe it would not have changed anything, but I would have liked to see what could have happened. I want to support this hire, and I will in time, but everytime I see another former player or reporter telling me how much I should like this decision, I have a harder time doing so.


Input: [Date] 4 years 33 weeks ago [Title] Rewriting history [Body]

Output: I don't think you are really remembering the main issue us "idiots" had. Most of the outrage was over the lack of communication between the coaching staff and the admissions staff. The issue I and many others seemed to have was that he was cleared to receive a LOI by more than just the coaching staff. Then in June he found out he was not going to be accepted here based on an admissions decision. http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/dorsey-letter#comment-507503 I understand now just how bad his grades were, but I still think letting a student know he cannot attend a school 3 months before the start of the semester is poor form.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] For me, it is the first [Body]

Output: For me, it is the first Michigan loss I can remember - vs. Colorado in 1994. It was the first time I ever cried after a loss. After the game, my dad took me to the park to blow off some steam. As we were leaving the parking lot, some kid had left his bike behind our car, and we ran it over as we were backing out. I was able to keep it together as the kid was crying, but I felt bad for both my dad and the kid.


Input: [Date] 5 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Confused [Body]

Output: When you talk about Dwayne Wade being an automatic plug-in over Rip, do you mean over the long-term or during our championship season? If it is over the long-term, then I do not disagree, but for the 2003-2004 season: Richard Hamilton - 35.5 MPG, 17.6 ppg, 4.0 assists, 3.6 rpg, 1.6 steals, 2.6 TO Dwayne Wade - 34.9 MPG, 16.2 ppg, 4.5 assists, 4 rpg, 1.4 steals, 3.2 TO Throw in the fact that Rip's offensive game wore down the other team's SG or SF, and I do not think Wade is a tier above for that season. Also, what made the Pistons a unique championship team is that they really lacked a superstar. They played basketball as a team and focused on defense. A rookie like Carmelo or Bosh would be talented, but from a chemistry standpoint, it could screw up the entire team (e.g. Carmelo complaining that Larry Brown was too hard on him, wanting more minutes, etc.).


Input: [Date] 5 years 6 weeks ago [Title] That depends... [Body]

Output: ...did the athletic department offer your cousin a scholarship to play football here? Did your cousin sign a LOI to attend and play for Michigan? I hope you can recognize that Demar Dorsey went further than simply having a desire to play football for us, and if his academic status was different, he would be.


Input: [Date] 5 years 8 weeks ago [Title] While I appreciate your [Body]

Output: While I appreciate your attempt to give us perspective on this, you seem to be missing the main point. The frustration/disappointment/other negative feeling many of us have for our university right now almost entirely is based on how this situation has been handled. We made him an offer, he accepted and qualified, and now we might not be letting him in. Not only that, but we are keeping him in the dark about what his current status is. Sure we want to see him on the football field this fall, but if this were any other student, and not an athlete, I would feel just as bad for him/her. I just haven't learned of the University handling any other student's enrollment like this. I find no hypocrisy in a position that wants the University to fulfill its end of the bargain, after Dorsey fulfilled his. If we allow Dorsey in, we will still be a strong academic institution. One student-athlete, deserving of a second chance, does not change that.


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Your breakdown is too simplistic. You're essentially commenting on his success based on his titles and positions held rather than things he's actually DONE in those positions. Bad leaders are hired at places all the time. Sure, maybe he's made the program more profitable now, but he's alienated and pissed off so many fans in the process, what's the point? Marginally better profits now for no long term profit potential because he's driving everyone out of the stadium? Just because you get hired into a top position doesn't mean you're good at your job. [Title]

Output: Your breakdown is too


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] Tell him to man up (as much as an 8 year old can) and be a real fan. It's easy for anyone to follow the crowd, be fairweather, and go with the team that's winning. True fans stick with their teams through the good and the bad. [Title]

Output: Tell him to man up (as much


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] After losing Burke, how could you not expect a step back when you've got a freshman taking point? The losses this year are tough, but I don't see them as terrible at this point because every setback early on is an opportunity for these guys to develop. If we're losing games like this in Feb-Mar, then be concerned. [Title]

Output: After losing Burke, how could

Input: [Date] 1 year 39 weeks ago [Body] You really think Gardner is "decent"? What games have you been watching? He's incredibly inconsistent, throws inaccurate balls most of the time, and now he looks scared to even throw anything after 11 picks. He had one really good game against ND. Minnesota and Indiana were defensive jokes. I never got the hype around Gardner. His high school film never looked good to me, and while he finished last season pretty well, he hasn't improved much since he got here, and I doubt he'll be much better next year. He is simply terrible. [Title]

Output: You really think Gardner is


Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Body] Aside from the two picks he threw, one of which was pretty much a fluke, Rees had a good game and kept ND in this one. We were just better. [Title]

Output: Aside from the two picks he


Input: [Date] 2 years 16 weeks ago [Body] "It's always disappointing when your team comes up just short, not because you're disappointed in them, but for them" Admittedly, most of the time we lose, anger comes with disappointment because I think of what could've been. What if we made this shot, completed that one pass, stopped that one play. The feeling after this game was different - just pure disappointment for the team. After the incredible run this team made in the tourney, I wanted so badly for them to come out on top because they deserved it. [Title]

Output: "It's always disappointing


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] If there were 13 other games with a lower probability by Kenpom's standards, then maybe there's something wrong with the calculations. I don't believe the chances of comebacks like that are that low. [Title]

Output: If there were 13 other games


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] That was my freshman year and I sold my ticket because I wasn't a huge football fan yet. I was in my dorm with a couple other friends watching the game, and a couple doors down there was a guy with three of his MSU friends. The entire time, they were cheering obnoxiously and came over regularly to rub it in our faces whenever Sparty scored. After we pulled off that win, going over to that room and letting them have it was one of the most satisfying feelings ever. [Title]

Output: That was my freshman year and


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] We left the Wisconsin game at halftime in Rich Rod's first year, down 20-0. I vowed after that game to never leave early if there's even a remote chance. One of my friends left after NW converted that 4th down, while the rest of us decided to stay since we figured there'd be 20-30 seconds for us to do something. I think some people just need that one experience to make them realize that a game can almost always be within reach. [Title]

Output: We left the Wisconsin game at


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] Yes, I know there's a waitlist because I'm on it. Doesn't mean I have problems finding tickets to every game the last four years since I've been out of school - I've been to every one. If people want tickets to the games, they'll find them. I was able to get my tickets for face value every year; it really isn't that hard. [Title]

Output: Yes, I know there's a


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] If there were enough die-hard fans to fill the seats every game, then there wouldn't be any of these casual fans at the games that you seem to hate so much. It's part of what comes with an elite football program - get used to it. There will be die-hards, and there will be people getting tickets for the sake of it because it's Michigan. [Title]

Output: If there were enough die-hard


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] Well you should understand that not every student is a die-hard Michigan fan the moment they buy tickets. Before I went to Michigan, I couldn't have cared less about football in general, but my brother convinced me to get season tickets because it's such a big part of the UM culture. I was guilty of showing up late to games for the first couple years, but as I became a bigger fan, I understood what it meant to get to the games on time. Just glad I had my brother to steer me in the right direction because now I am a die-hard fan. Give the students a break - they'll appreciate it more eventually, and those are the ones who do show up on time. [Title]

Output: Well you should understand


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] Sorry, but that's a really bad analogy. Kids go to class because they have to most of the time. Going to a football game is completely different, especially when a big part of the student culture is tailgating/partying. There are no consequences for showing up to a football game on time or 30 minutes late, so they don't care, and you can't really change that. [Title]

Output: Sorry, but that's a really


Input: [Date] 2 years 37 weeks ago [Body] Not really true - I'm in row 2 and there were empty seats around us until the second quarter. People definitely didn't show up on time today. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Title]

Output: For the lazy


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] Yeah, but I think it's pointless for Dantonio to complain about a flop when he probably coaches his own punter to do the same in the same situation. I'd think any good punter in the country would've done the same thing - heads up play to sell it to the refs. [Title]

Output: Yeah, but I think it's


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I'm shocked that MSU fans are crying about the penalty, claiming that it was a bad call or that the MSU player was blocked into the kicker. 1. Don't call a punt block with the kind of field position you can get with plenty of time on the clock and an offense that had been moving the ball really well. It was almost guaranteed to at least go into OT. 2. The blocker barely touched the guy rushing and certainly didn't block him into the kicker. The angle was overly aggressive and he put himself in a bad position. 3. Flop or not (and it was a bit of a flop) - that penalty will get called 99% of the time in at any point of any game. I've seen the penalty called on much less contact than that before, so even if he "grazed a hamsting" he still ran into the kicker. And punters/kickers are coached to go down like that if there's contact - any smart player on any team would've done the exact same thing. The penalty wasn't even remotely close to "borderline" as some Sparties are saying. Quit making excuses and own up to your team's mistakes. [Title]

Output: I'm shocked that MSU fans are


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] The punter was legitimately hit, and that will get called all the time. [Title]

Output: The punter was legitimately


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] Disagree. What happened in this game will get called 100% of the time, and a Sparty fan I was watching it with agreed. Bad way to end the game for them, but schadenfreude for us! [Title]

Output: Disagree. What happened in


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Body] Iowa State has some talent, but I don't think it matches Michigan. The score is showing that now, but you could tell even earlier in the game - we just needed our shots to drop. [Title]

Output: Iowa State has some talent,


Input: [Date] 5 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Yeah its so early a lot can [Body]

Output: Yeah its so early a lot can happen. I remember this time last year I thought for sure DG was OSU bound by his comments that they were his favorite team growing up.


Input: [Date] 5 years 26 weeks ago [Title] Looks like a football player. [Body]

Output: Looks like a football player. His lanky frame leads me to believe he is still growing into his body a little bit. Good athlete+upside? Welcome aboard brotha!


Input: [Date] 5 years 27 weeks ago [Title] It hasnt taken too long for [Body]

Output: It hasnt taken too long for Kiffin's recruiting tactics to start popping up at USC. This is a match made in heaven. A school that is possibly on the verge of getting the hammer dropped on them, and without a doubt the most frequent violater of recruiting rules. All this just adds to Brian's point about the whole situation. If the NC DOUBLE ASSHOLES dont hit USC hard then there really arent any rules.


Input: [Date] 5 years 30 weeks ago [Title] I dont know the middle name [Body]

Output: I dont know the middle name of this girl but for comedy purposes, Texas has a volleyball player by the name of Destiny Hooker. Some parents must just have a sick sense of humor. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?categoryid=3003796&id=3009676

Output: Nike, I miss you.


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I think if RR gets 4 years he [Body]

Output: I think if RR gets 4 years he can get this thing up and running. But if he only gets next year to turn it around, then I think hes gone after next year. Think about it, this defense isn't gonna get that much better, plus all our tough games like ND, PSU, and OSU are all on the road next year. Where under RR we have only won 1 road game. If that is the case and RR gets canned after next year, Harbaugh makes the most sense. Despite what he has said about Michigan in the past he is a good coach. I would hope Miles isn't in the conversation.


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] It kinda sucks because he [Body]

Output: It kinda sucks because he seems like a great guy, but the media forces you to hate him. They kiss his ass so much that I root for him to fail. Tom Brenneman last year in the NC game was the worst. "If you have the opportunity to spend 20 minutes with Tim Tebow, you're life is better for it"

Output: Texas actually supports several top notch programs. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State pull a lot from Texas. As does TCU and Texas Tech.


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] I wish Michigan had yell [Body]

Output: I wish Michigan had yell practice like A&M. UM fans need a lesson on getting loud.


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Lets see a coach in Ohio [Body]

Output: Lets see a coach in Ohio bashes Notre Dame, Michigan, West Virginia, and Pittsburgh. What are the similarities with those schools? I smell a Buckeye fan. People in Ohio already have a rivalry with the states of West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Then throw in the 2 other most recognizable programs in the Midwest. Look not much has gone right since RR was hired, but even tomhagan would have to admit that he can recruit. Two terrible seasons and he is still bringing in talent. And all we have read from recruits is how much they love the staff/family atmosphere. I'll base my opinion on RR's recruiting by the results, not by some anonymous high school coach with no credibility.


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Living in Dallas and getting [Body]

Output: Living in Dallas and getting to see him in high school, i've always pulled for him, even though i'm indifferent on the Lions. Steve Sabol said that was the best audio that NFL films has ever gotten, and theyve been in business since the mid 60's. Its hard to argue that. That was good stuff.


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Title] In high school he plays [Body]

Output: In high school he plays OLB/Weakside end. I would assume he doesnt have too much experience covering people. That wouldnt be good. We need LBs who can play anyways and he seems like a good athlete. Also I would assume thats a fake fake 40 time. A guy that size who runs a 4.3? He would have to be a 5 star.


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Title] The tomhagan meltdown reminds [Body]

Output: The tomhagan meltdown reminds me of Randy Quaid in Major League 2.


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Title] tomhagan needs to go to mlive [Body]

Output: tomhagan needs to go to mlive for a while. His schtick would fit right in over there.


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Title] The writing is on the [Body]

Output: The writing is on the wall....Even NBC's announcers who are the biggest homers in all of sport were talking like they knew it was Weis's last game. They were even saying things about needing to start talking to other coaches.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Our biggest issue [Body]

Output: Our biggest issue is can our D stop Wisconsin at all. Tate can atleast put points on the board from time to time. Our chances of winning just got a little worse in my opinion. I hope he gets in there very soon.


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Title] I said the recruiting hasnt [Body]

Output: I said the recruiting hasnt worked out YET. And i'm not saying I expect championship football. Is it too much to EXPECT the defense to hold their own?


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Thats just the way it is. I [Body]

Output: Thats just the way it is. I agree the defense is terrible. But RR shouldnt be exempt from criticism. He is the Chief Executive so to say of this football team. His recruiting, defensive philosophy, and the guys he has hired havent worked out yet. We all know he doesnt have much to work with on the defensive side, but you cant get rid of all the players, so the coach always takes the fall. Thats just how it goes.


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Ya and also what coach would [Body]

Output: Ya and also what coach would want to come here knowing not only do you have to win, but you have to be a Michigan man or the Freep and the old guard here at Michigan will try to bury you. I'm alot less sold on RR right now and how can you not be? But I agree our best bet is to ride this thing out. The offense has came around this year. But RR needs to fix the D or that could be his downfall.


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Title] I would also add defensive [Body]

Output: I would also add defensive philosophy and recruiting. Using smaller defenders might work eventually but the recruiting strategy to load up on offensive players and the lack of talent on defense points to recruiting and developing.


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Yeah sadly i've lost all [Body]

Output: Yeah sadly i've lost all faith. We are in last place in the Big Ten and thats no fluke. We are the worst team without a doubt. I have been a RR supporter up until last weeks Illinois game. I still think he should get another year but like I said I have lost all faith. I dont see this going anywhere really. Next year we have all our tough games on the road where under RR we have won 1 road game in 2 years. 1-5 in the Big Ten and basically a 5 game losing streak with a possible 7 game losing streak to end the season? Sorry RR you just cant defend that. It seems like everyweek some milestone is acheieved by another team. Today Purdue wins at the Big House for the first time since the 60's.


Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Title] I saw a ridiculous stat in [Body]

Output: I saw a ridiculous stat in the Dallas Morning News that Tony Drake is averaging 10. something yards a carry. That was 2 weeks ago but i'm sure it hasnt changed much.


Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Title] A&M got beat by KState [Body]

Output: A&M got beat by KState something like 62-14. That was Leach's issue. Tech beat KState by 50, then KState beat A&M by 50, so he thought his players didnt take A&M seriously.


Input: [Date] 5 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Does anyone else know why he [Body]

Output: Does anyone else know why he isnt playing much defense in high school? I read something recently that said he has been playing tight end and hardly any defense.


Input: [Date] 5 years 40 weeks ago [Title] The worst one by far is the [Body]

Output: The worst one by far is the Gwen Stefani abortion of a song that goes, "woohoo yeehoo". They play that a few times then stop it expecting the crowd to follow through with a gay ass, "woohoo yeehoo" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tEROk-Y27Q

Output: In-n-out is the biggest farce in the history of fast food!!! I don't understand! The burger is impressively mediocre and their fries are down right shitty. If you say in-n-out, you're a hype beast and you're lying to yourself and everyone you love. Yes, I've had animal style.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 3 days ago [Title] In a lot of ways I think Rome [Body]

Output: In a lot of ways I think Rome is correct in that Harbaugh sounds like a "crappy defense attorney"... But I think any coach in the country would have said the same thing he just happened to be on camera. And it wasn't a scenario where Harbaugh would be grilling (prosecuting attorney?) Winston and whether or not he did it... He can only assume that Winston is being candid in that moment.

Input: [Date] 16 weeks 3 days ago [Title] The cool thing about 77 is [Body]

Output: The cool thing about 77 is that Taylor picked it and took it on as a personal challenge to live up to the people who wore it before. You can have your opinion about whether or not he did but I like that he took the challenge head on instead of being handed the challenge.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Let players pick their own [Body]

Output: Let players pick their own numbers. When they become great, that number is meaningful. I hate that Kovacs had to change numbers mid career. 32 has special significance because of him and I wish he would have kept it the whole time.

Input: [Date] 18 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Or better: live somewhere way [Body]

Output: Or better: live somewhere way nicer and have enough money that you can come back for any game you want.

Output: Bro... Chill out.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Yea but nah [Body]

Output: Yea but nah


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Should this be OT since it [Body]

Output: Should this be OT since it technically has nothing to do with us?


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 1 day ago [Title] It's a sad statement about [Body]

Output: It's a sad statement about people's attitudes on this blog that you need to guard your perfectly acceptable joke with "this jokes probably already been made." Just let em fly brother


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Racist. [Body]

Output: Racist.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 2 days ago [Title] King of the North!! [Body]

Output: King of the North!!


Input: [Date] 6 hours 42 min ago [Title] Mayo was ruined for me [Body]

Output: I was never a big fan of mayo growing up, but it was permanently ruined for me when I worked at Subway in high school, and we had to refill the dressing containers out of these giant tubs of mayo -- and it just smelled and looked like ass. Then, on top of that, you'd have the giant land beasts coming in and ordering their tuna subs and wanting extra mayo on top of it, and then when there was a copious amount of mayo on top of the already mayo-heavy tuna mixture, they would often request more until the entire goddamn sub was covered in white. And this is in no way an exaggeration. It got to the point where if someone came in the front door, and they weighed in the neighborhood of 75-100+% more than they should, I could confidently bet they would order a tuna sub with extra mayo. So no good sir, I respectfully disagree and think mayo is disgusting.


Input: [Date] 7 hours 8 min ago [Title] Mayo is disgusting. I'm [Body]

Output: Mayo is disgusting. I'm willing to be the vice chancellor of the anti-mayo campaign.


Input: [Date] 1 day 21 hours ago [Title] Not irrelevant. Fifth most [Body]

Output: Not irrelevant. Fifth most bets to win the title is nuts. It's 100-1 odds, so the return is good, but you've got to be drunk out of your mind on kool-aid to think that's a good bet. Just pissing money away.


Input: [Date] 1 day 21 hours ago [Title] Vegas was built on the backs [Body]

Output: Vegas was built on the backs of fools. And business continues to be good.


Input: [Date] 2 days 6 hours ago [Title] All coaches say these things. [Body]

Output: All coaches say these things. It's common sense and is what any one of us would say if we were taking over a football team. We're going to be tougher, stronger, accountable for our actions, etc, etc. The difference is that good coaches actually know how to make all of that stuff happen.


Input: [Date] 3 days 5 hours ago [Title] Hakeem is on Twitter? [Body]

Output: Hakeem is on Twitter?


Input: [Date] 5 days 22 hours ago [Title] You can send me questions and [Body]

Output: You can send me questions and I will ask them to the people we get


Input: [Date] 5 days 22 hours ago [Title] Dude....come to grips. [Body]

Output: Dude....come to grips. Michigan is a looooooong way from killing. If you want to see an example of killing it, look at Ohio State. Until Michigan is at that level, they ain't killing it. They're just doing good.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 hours ago [Title] Might be bad [Body]

Output: This could be bad for Michigan. Georgia looks to be in good position for Nauta, and with FSU losing his commitment, they'll push even harder for Upshur.


Input: [Date] 1 week 22 hours ago [Title] That's why I said you need to [Body]

Output: That's why I said you need to have something better than Baylor. But there's a point of diminishing returns on scheduling tough teams. All you need is like one OOC game against another power five team and the rest can be non FCS cupcakes and you're good. Anything beyond that and you risk adding unnecessary losses which kills your shot at the CFP


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] Michigan's offense [Body]

Output: After watching Michigan's offense the last few years, you should know what having a shitty offense can do to a defense.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] Given Michigan's [Body]

Output: Given Michigan's long-standing issues defending good running QBs, Taysom Hill should scare the shit out of every Michigan fan. Yeah, he's had injury issues and is on his 9th year of eligibility, but he pretty much single-handedly shot down Manny Diaz's rising star and killed Mack Brown's tenure at Texas.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] Why? [Body]

Output: There is pretty much zero benefit to having a hard OOC schedule. There's even pretty much zero benefit to having a moderately challenging OOC schedule. The goal should be to land somewhere in between Baylor's Charmin soft OOC schedule and something that's going to provide a winnable challenge or two heading into conference play.


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] Of course they might offer it [Body]

Output: Of course they might offer it (unless they wanted to be worried about making an insulting offer), but that's why you have an agent - to counter that offer. No responsible agent would ever allow his client entering his second year in the league to sign a 3-year veterans minimum contract. That is just all kinds of stupid. If the Pacers like him enough to offer three years, that's enough interest to get more than the minimum.


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] Just beat me to it [Body]

Output: It'll definitely be for more than league minimum. While I'm sure the Pacers would love to lock him up for the vets min for 3-years, Glenn and his agent would be insane to accept that.


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] It'll definitely be more than [Body]

Output: It'll definitely be more than $1.5M. Around $800k is the veterans minimum in the NBA and no team or player signs a three year deal for the league minimum. In fact if Glenn's agent let him sign a 3-yr deal for the league minimum in his second year in the league he should be fired and banned. It'll probably be something like a 3-year $8M deal...and maybe a lot more.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Cupboard isn't bare, but... [Body]

Output: The WR cupboard isn't bare, but its full of a bunch of stuff that doesn't look that appealing. And I think we're at the point where we've opened and closed it about a dozen times and are slowly talking ourselves into that can of peaches or old box of mac and cheese.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Just went back over the last [Body]

Output: Just went back over the last few years and looked at where a 600yd season would rank for a Michigan receiver and it made me very sad.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] This will probably be his [Body]

Output: This will probably be his last year if that makes you feel better.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] We've been too terrible to [Body]

Output: We've been too terrible to say anything about. No one wants to make fun of the handicapped kid.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] May has nothing to do with [Body]

Output: May has nothing to do with cost cutting. He has a year left on his deal. This is just a reassignment for him.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] Vested Interest [Body]

Output: Please, explain what Nick stands to gain by "taking down" the Michigan program. You know, for those of us not living in tin foil covered houses.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] And so do you [Body]

Output: Any one that gets worked up about which school a reporter went to is also far more emotionally invested in something that they should be. If someone is a good reporter -- which Nick is -- then it doesn't matter where they went to school. Brian went to Michigan, does it matter that his writting is "unfairly" pro-Michigan biased?


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] No offense... [Body]

Output: No offense, but this is just fucking stupid. You shit on a reporter and his reporting without ever having read the article. You're the type of idiot fan boy that gives other sane fans a bad rap. I mean, Sparty Baumgardner?? What are you, 8 years old? And on second thought, take all the offense with my comment that you want. Since you seem to be the type to get easily rattled by writers' collegial ties, I'm sure you will anyways.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] This one reminds me of [Body]

Output: This one reminds me of Artavis Scott. Was looking good for Michigan right up until it was a sudden landslide for Clemson. Wonder if Kelly got the same "care package" Scott did.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] Clemson was picked to win the [Body]

Output: Clemson was picked to win the ACC


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 hours ago [Title] Also doesn't fix the [Body]

Output: Also doesn't fix the pixelated hot mess of bootleg live-streams.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: They are at least half as good. I mean, Jesus, people are reacting like this is Teen Mom 3 or something. Its still good TV. And I don't think McConaughey or Harrelson's parts were that much better written than many of the parts this season, I just think they were parts taylor made for those actors, and actors made the writing seem phenomenal. McCounaughey is perfect for the spacey cop with a bad side. And Harrelson was perfect for the cop that's kind of a dick. Its essentially the same types of parts those two always play and it was written right into their wheelhouses. Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, and Taylor Kitsch are all doing well in their roles -- not at the same level of Harrelson or McCounaughey, but they were both nominated for Emmys, so that's a pretty high bar. I agree that Vince Vaungh is out of place. That was a miscasting. As much as I love him, he's just not a dramatic actor. I just think a lot of the handwringing over this season compared to last is revisionist history. There were a lot of slow, confusing, and just plain bad parts of season 1, but people forget about them.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] Oh hey look, we've got a whiner [Body]

Output: Oh boo hoo, its not the greatest fucking show on TV. WAAAAAAAA Guess what, the first season wasn't that awesome either. Its first half was just as slow and complicated, there was a big shootout at the end of episode 4, and the best episodes were all at the end. Just like this season.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Went there for the Under [Body]

Output: Went there for the Under Armour All American game, and can confirm its a dump. Couldn't imagine watching a baseball game there.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 hours ago [Title] March 14, 1998 [Body]

Output: At a bar in Philly on Saturday night around 10pm. Michigan had won their opening round game in the NCAA tournament the day before. After about 2 hours of trying, I convinced my girlfriend to drive with me (in her car) from Philly to Atlanta to catch Michigan's second round game against UCLA. We left Philly around midnight, drove through the night to Atlanta. got there around 1:30pm. Scalped upper deck tickets to the two games at the Georgia Dome. First game was Kentucky vs. St. Louis. Game ends, Kentucky flans are flooding out of the place. We run to the lower level concourse, convince an older UK couple to give us their lower deck ticket stubs. Seats end up being 7 rows from the floor even with the three point line. Ashley Judd was two rows directly in front of us. Awesome seats. Game ended around 7:30, we left and were back in Philly around 6am Monday morning. I showered and went straight to work. Ride home was rough after the loss, but still a great memory of times when I had no one to worry about except me.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 7 hours ago [Title] Two from my 80's childhood [Body]

Output: 1) Tahitian Treat - http://www.amazon.com/TAHITIAN-TREAT-SODA-12-pks/dp/B0002IMRTC 2) Jolt Cola - All the sugar, twice the caffeine. (or something like that) We always had Tahitian Treat in the basement fridge. It's so sweet that I don't know that I could drink it now, but man I loved that stuff.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Bauer [Body]

Output: Nike did ruin Bauer for a while in the early 2000's. However, Bauer was carved out of Nike by a private equity firm in 2008 and things really turned around after that. To Nike's credit, they had actually started the turnaround before the sale, but to make consumers believe it, you had to get the swoosh off the product. The Bauer brand in the hockey community had huge value, but when combined with Nike, it lost a lot of credibility. The PE firm that bought Bauer added a few additional sports brands to the copmany, including Easton's baseball division and Maverik lacrosse. The Company is now public and trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange. I worked on the transaction to carve Bauer out from Nike and toured a few of their mfg and testing facilities. I was surprised by the level of sophistication that went into designing, testing, and manufacturing all of their products. For a while after the carve-out, Bauer focuesed exclusively on serious hockey players. They got rid of rollerblades and low-end Sports Authority type skates and sold primarily through the specialty dealers (brick and mortar and online). They've since added the Nexus product line which is at a lower price point, but their primary focus remains the kid/adult that plays hockey multiple times a week, not the parent that skates 2x per year. I'm not 100% sure about this, but I believe Nike's only hockey gear these days are uniforms. Nike has gotten out of the hockey equipment business,


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Isn't transfer is a bit of a misnomer for Hogan? [Body]

Output: I don't know much about Hogan, but I got the impression he would have already graduated from Stanford, so he'd be coming in as a grad student. If I'm right about this, wouldn't that be a much easier situation to deal with from the admissions side?


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Kids [Body]

Output: I have a son who just turned 5 a few days ago. Nothing in this world matters more to me than him. I know I'm far from impartial, but little boys of this age are incredible. They're a perfect combination of starting to understand things in the world but stlll innocent. Trying to be independent, but will still give you a hug out of the blue. I can't imagine what it's like for his family - just heartbreaking. I wish them all the best in this tough time. The juxtaposition of the huge football players with little kids always gives me a sense of security. Like the big guys can somehow make things better. I hope Chad took some comfort from their visit.


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Dierdorf and Brandstatter [Body]

Output: I was driving across the state during the game and got to listen to most of the game on the radio. I never really liked Dierdorf when he was doing NFL games. However, I thought he did a pretty good job today. It seemed like he was very comfortable being a homer with perhaps a little more freedom to speak his mind than he had during NFL games There were a few times when the game was pretty much out of reach that the banter got a little too cute. All in all, I think their debut was solid.


Input: [Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Title] Golf analogy [Body]

Output: Michigan football games used to be the Masters. A gratifying in-person experience that was truly unique. Over the last handful of years, it's become random tournament in the middle of July that has a different sponsor every four years. I've been to the Masters once and walked out of there feeling like the #1 goal the organizers had was to make it a special experience for their patrons. Clearly, they are monetizing the event with the TV deal and the handful of corporate sponsorships. However, every interaction you have as a paying customer is one of them trying to provide you with good value, not extract every last dollar. I very clearly remember being pleasantly surprised by this on more than one occasion. The fact that the Masters is different is what makes it a great in-person event. Michigan football is now like most other sporting events I can attend. That being said, the band is still awesome and I give them credit for keeping some of the pageantry of game day afternoons alive.


Input: [Date] 1 year 12 weeks ago [Title] McQuaid [Body]

Output: I thought I was the only McQuaid alum on here, but guess not. For those not from Rochester, Mercy is the same school the produced Abby Wambach. They're known for having a solid athletic program.


Input: [Date] 1 year 26 weeks ago [Title] Lamborghini [Body]

Output: Is this the movie where at the end they need to drive to a college to submit an application in time? However, they get stuck behind a slow moving police car on a two lane road which is going to cause them to be late. The guy driving then does an SAT-like problem in his head to realize that if he slows down even more, the guy driving the Lambo behind him will get impatient, try to pass, get pulled over by the cop thus allowing them to speed up and get to the college on time. If that is the movie, I think about that scene way too often. If not, carry-on...


Input: [Date] 1 year 37 weeks ago [Title] Completely agree [Body]

Output: That is the most nervous I remember ever being watching a sporting event. I still get nervous watching replays of the game. I used to play in a few rec basketball leagues and every now and then would be in a position where I needed to hit a free throw to ice the game/push into overtime/etc. In those instances that had absolutely zero importance, I was happy when I hit the rim. I can't imagine having the national title on the line. Completely clutch. His post-basketball life has been the opposite of clutch.


Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] Son's B-Day Party [Body]

Output: Scheduled for prime college football viewing time (1:30-3:30 central) at a venue that doesn't have TVs. My wife was willing to push the party to the bye weekend. I feel a little bad for the other dads that are fans of other schools, but not that bad.


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] Shout! [Body]

Output: I was genuinely surprised to hear (while watching on TV) that they were playing Shout! before the final play (I think I have my timing correct). I am coming to grips with the fact that the majority of sports fans around the country need to have their eardrums blasted to be entertained, but this really seemed like an inappropriate time for a participation song like that. Does the PA operator just stick to a predetermined playlist/schedule, situation be damned. It was like they had assumed the game in Q4 would be out of hand and they needed to play a bad wedding song to liven up the place. Given the circumstances, the music choice seemed really off.


Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Title] "That kid is unbelievable" [Body]

Output: Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but... The tone in Moeller's voice was one of true appreciation. It sounded a lot like how I will quietly comment to my wife on something my son does that surprises me. It includes love, being pleasantly surprised, and appreciation that this person is in your life. It really shows the coach/player connection that we on the outside can't turly appreciate. I have always loved this play for a variety of obvious reasons, but that audio clip just made it that more special to me.


Input: [Date] 1 year 49 weeks ago [Title] Musical chairs [Body]

Output: The lead-in discussion regarding the formations is a slap-in-the-face reminder of the crazy adjustments the players and coaching staff had to endure last year. Our starting quarterback finished the season as our starting running back. Starting WR finished as starting QB. Starting RB finished on the sideline in a cast (thank you Don McLean). The fact that we were even competitive in the bowl game is kind of amazing and a testament to all involved.


Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Hoke Hair [Body]

Output: All I see in that picture is Mitch McGary Sr. Or is Mitch Brady Jr.?


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Jerryworld [Body]

Output: I took a tour of Jerryworld last year. As part of the tour, you have the opportunity to go down on the field and throw a football around (for as long as you want, it's actually pretty awesome). We were there during the day and played catch for a solid hour and I was shocked at how difficult it was to pick up a thrown ball when looking back at the windows at either end of the stadium. Also, the place is so large that you get a very disoriented feeling anytime you look up or into the distance, particularly while running. It's an amazing place that is simply huge. However, from my very limited experience it seems like an awful place to play (or watch) a basketball game and I wouldn't be surprised to see both teams struggle. I'd be curious to see if the various shooting stats at Jerryworld are any different than at other domes.


Input: [Date] 3 years 10 weeks ago [Title] Fairport [Body]

Output: I grew up in Fairport went to McQ, parents taught (mom still does) at RIT. Attended many hockey games at RIT growing up including their D-III national championship run in 1984-85(?). The fans were awesome back then - student section was called the Corner Crew and they taught me most of the swear words and a few other concepts I didn't understand at the time.


Input: [Date] 3 years 13 weeks ago [Title] In Chicago... [Body]

Output: you see Big Ten flags hanging from apartments all over the place. Two years ago after they had beaten us, there was an MSU flag hanging with the "S" backwards. It helped ease the pain a tiny bit.


Input: [Date] 3 years 14 weeks ago [Title] Be honest with yourself [Body]

Output: Are you the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to get to your desired goal? If not, go to the name school (assuming Temple will open doors). The prestige will buy you access you won't get from other places. If you're truly ambitious, save the money and trust that you won't quit until you get to where you want. I'm in a field with tons of MBAs. The majority are from top 10 schools, but I come across a number guys who don't have an MBA and went to random midwest directional school and are incredibly successful. They opened doors for themselves through hard work and determination. The rest of us worked hard, but at some level, the name on our diploma helped grease the skids.


Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Title] My two favorite [Body]

Output: are getting Drew Hensen's autograph (for my sister, I swear) and taking a picture with LaVell Blanchard after his senior season and thanking him for sticking through all the tough times. (I had to look up how to spell LaVell and the first google link brought me back to mgoblog)


Input: [Date] 4 years 10 weeks ago [Title] Chicago [Body]

Output: I don't know a ton about lacrosse, but I do know that it has gotten significantly more poplular in the Chicago area over the last few years. A number of my co-workers have kids who have picked up the game at the HS and club levels and it sounds like the numbers in the youth programs are increasing each year. It would seem that the addition of Michigan to the national scene will help spur futher growth of the sport in the midwest and we should be able to get a (near) first mover advantage when it comes to snagging these kids with increasing skill levels.


Input: [Date] 4 years 21 weeks ago [Title] This is exactly what popped into my mind [Body]

Output: I think the picture is of a 1984 Regal GN. My family bought a 1984 Buick LeSabre and there was one of these in the showroom at the time. I tried to get my Dad to buy it, but it's not much of a family car. This thing was pretty expensive in its day, but it hauled a**. More rare is the LeSabre Grand National. I didn't even know this existed until I saw one at a car show a few years ago. The Regal is a better looking car.


Input: [Date] 4 years 21 weeks ago [Title] Other sports [Body]

Output: Baesd on my limited research, it seems like roughly 25%-35% of teams in other D-1 sports get to play in an NCAA playoff. If you make the analogy that bowl games are like the playoffs for D-1 football, it seems reasonable to think that this percentage should be generally consistent for FBS football. In 2010, 70 of 120 teams played in a bowl game, or 58%. If you ratchet that back to the 35% level, you would end up with 42 teams playing in 21 bowl games, elminating 14 bowls. I don't think may fans would miss 14 bowls and the players would have the same oportunity as their colleagues in other sports to participate in a post season.


Input: [Date] 4 years 21 weeks ago [Title] Investment Banking [Body]

Output: I'm a 2003 Ross grad who applied for the class of 2002, was rejected, reapplied for class of 2003, was waitlisted, and then finally got in off the waitlist. My GMAT scores and undergrad GPA were more than adequate, but my 5 years of work experience was only ok at best. I did not follow the advice below, but if I had it to do all over again, I would. There are all sorts of paths into business school, but the one that I think guarantees the highest likelihood of success is to spend a 2-3 years as an analyst at an investment bank. It's a tough life right out of undergrad but you actually learn a ton (from my experiences of interacting with others) and become very marketable to many different types of employers when walking out of business school. Further, most banking analysts end up at b-school at Harvard, MIT, Wharton, Columbia, etc. with not nearly as many heading to Ann Arbor. Ross continues to seek to up its reputation with Wall St. and one way of doing that is attracting the analysts that will someday be the MD's making hiring decisioins. Having that banking pedigree on your application will be a big asset as you compete with others for a spot in the class. It doesn't matter if you don't want to pursue a long term career in banking, just get in, get the experience and name on the resume, and get out. Also, in your essays, make it very clear how having an MBA will help you meet your career goals. The admissions committee wants to know that you're not just looking for a place to spend a few years and instead this degree is part of a larger plan that you have and the MBA is a critical component of that.


Input: [Date] 4 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Upstate NY cheers? [Body]

Output: I grew up going to games at RIT in the early 80's and the students there belted out many of the same cheers back then. I have no idea if they stole them from Cornell, came up with them on their own, or they came from yet another school in the region. When I went to my first game at Yost in 2001-2002, I was surprised to recognize so many of the cheers - now I kind of know why.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Passion and recruiting [Body]

Output: The love for the school and the program that BH showed yesterday was important. If he gets that excited and emotional talking to a room full of reporters hidden behind cameras, I have to imagine that he has the ability to be fairly compelling in a family room with a recruit and his parents. I'm certainly not a salesman, but I have to do my share of convincing of others in my job. I know that I am much more successful in convincing others when my heart is in what I'm pitching. RR grew to embrace Michigan and our traditions and busted his ass (as far as i can tell) to give us his best, but it isn't the same as what BH presented. What I took away from BH yesterday, was an enthusiasm that has the potential to be infectious with all constituents. Assuming it is well received by recruits, it could be a pivotal component of his ultimate success, Obviously, that's a big if, but I think it is shortsighted to simply dismiss what we saw yesterday as just good PR.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Don't follow my lead [Body]

Output: I went into the MBA application/interview process completely unprepared thinking GMAT and grades were all that mattered. I thought I was a shoe-in based on the quantitative items plus being a legacy of two Michigan MBA parents. At the time I was applying, the only reason I wanted an MBA was so I could get a good job at the back end. I wanted to go to Michigan because I loved visiting Ann Arbor growing up, loved Michigan sports and knew the school was a top program. In my interview, I was caught off guard by the depth of the questions around why an MBA and why Michigan. Looking back on it now, I was a moron. My only excuse is it was 1999 and there was still asymmetry of information in the world and I was on the side that didn't have all the info. I ended up getting turned down the first year I applied and was crushed. The following year, I reapplied with a few new essays and no new interview and was waitlisted. It wasn't until I rewrote one of my essays that created a compelling and detailed argument as to why an MBA would help me achieve my goals and why Michigan was the right place. That finally got me in. My 2 years in b-school were far and away the most fun 2 years of my life. The point being, show the interviewer a path that you'd like to take and be sure to include why a Michigan MBA will help you reach your goal. Good luck.


Input: [Date] 5 years 16 weeks ago [Title] RIT [Body]

Output: My guess is that I'm the only mgoblog reader who grew up going to RIT hockey games in the 1980's. My father left a position at UofM to join the faculty at RIT in the mid-1970s. He's now retired, but my mother still teaches there. Aside from Triple A baseball, RIT hockey was the best thing going in town. They were D-III back then and had a few seasons where they were completely dominant and won at least one NC, maybe two. I don't follow them at all now, but was excited to see them in the tournament and shocked to see them make the frozen four. As one poster noted, I thought they looked much slower than their competition. I know the experience at Yost is something very special, but I swear that RIT's home rink (Ritter Memorial Ice Arena) has an equally impressive environment. The physical building is pretty ugly, but the fans are awesome. It holds around 2,000 people and can be deafening at times. I learned a lot about hockey going to those games and wouldn't trade the experience for anything. It was the best $4 you could spend. RIT's win to get to the Frozen Four was labeled by the Rochester paper as the single biggest win in Rochester collegiate sports history. RIT hockey is the only D-I program in the city and the rest of the school's sports are all D-III. It's too bad that the run had to end and I would be surprised to see them back next year, but it was fun to root for a familiar underdog. Not sure why I wrote all this other than I'm not sure when I'll be able to combine Michigan and RIT again.


Input: [Date] 5 years 35 weeks ago [Title] Is it ok for me to feel bad for Weis? [Body]

Output: I actually feel a pang of sorrow for Weis. Here's a guy who loves ND and loves ND football. This was obviously a dream job for him. I understand that he was compensated very well for his troubles and this comes with the coaching territory. However, on a human level, I keep coming back to feeling bad for the guy.


Input: [Date] 5 years 37 weeks ago [Title] shouldn't be an issue [Body]

Output: To put it in perspective, I've never given walking around with a beer a second thought. I think a prior poster said it best, don't be "that guy" who draws attention to himself, stumbles in traffic, screams at people, throws beers, etc. Have one for me as I'm missing my first home OSU game in a while.

Output: no


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I love night games. I personally even prefer 3:30 over noon games. Extra tailgating is always a good thing. However, I will say that I am only in favor of 1-2 night games a year [Title]

Output: night games

Input: [Date] 24 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Networking is very important and is honestly much more valuable than any MBA. If you do go for a MBA that is not a prestigious university, be sure to not get the one that anyone can get. This may hurt you a bit. Ultimately, to get where you want to go tell everyone that will listen and work harder than anyone else. That has done wonders for me. Also be honest and responsive. It is noticed. Good luck [Title]

Output: will always buy


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] I will continue to purchase tickets and love the fact that I am a season ticket holder. I live in Maryland and will likely make 1-2 games a year and split or sell the rest. I have never lost $ on tickets like some say they have and even if I do its the cost of the membership of being a season ticket holder. I am ok with the price and being at games like the recent Notre Dame games, Penn st, etc.... are memories that I cannot put a price tag on and will share with my children and future grandchildren. I will forever say "I was there when______" and the price of admission will not be a part of the story. [Title]

Output: renewed mine


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] I came to this site and would spread the word because of its information and how ahead of the gamr it felt. I would not post a lot but would check the site at least 4-5 times a day and it would at times be the first thing I would do when I woke up. Over the past year this has significantly changed and its because of the bashing on the site. I felt like it was the definition of misery loves company. I feel that many recruits probably know of this site and have been here. I feel that we are limited in what we can do to assist the product on the field. we can buy merchandise and tickets, we can stand and make noise at the games and we can post optimistic information that make kids feel as if we are a fan base that is different than others. That we support our team, regardless of what the results are and that we do not bash kids or our fellow Michigan fans. I tend to have a big ego and I used to bash others for differing opinions but then I grew up and remembered a) who cares and b) if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it. there is such a thing as a healthy debate but I think we go outside of that. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Title] I realize this response is [Body]

Output: I realize this response is three days late, but how you could infer from the post that because of free agency problems under Millen the team would have the same problems under Mayhew is beyond me when I mentioned neither Millen nor free agency (nor Mayhew for that matter). Instead, I meant to highlight that going in, there was an obvious weakness of the team - the secondary - and they could have addressed it in the second round. The appeal of addressing this through the draft is that it is almost guaranteed the player will be on your team next season. IMO drafting the best available is a strategy that works great for the first round or when your team does not have a huge weakness. It is quite possible that the team can address the issue in free agency. However, the team's top DB targets in free agency may get offered more money elsewhere or may not want to play for the Lions. Free agency is a riskier option to address team needs, and when one is as big a need as the Lions have, I would have preferred the guarantee of the draft.


Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Title] It's a nice story and all, [Body]

Output: It's a nice story and all, and I welcome him to the team. However, what are the stats on the #1 and #2 cornerbacks last year? You cannot tell me it is less than or equal to the weakness of the 21 combined receptions for the #3 and #4 receiver.

Input: [Date] 4 years 22 weeks ago [Title] The Thurman Cafe [Body]

Output: If you really want to make the best of your time in Columbus, you should try The Thurman Cafe. It is pretty far south of campus, but it will not disappoint you if you are into incredible burgers. It isn't so much of a sports bar as a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. I remember them having televisions there, too. Just make sure to get there early because there usually is a wait. http://www.thethurmancafe.com/


Input: [Date] 4 years 23 weeks ago [Title] ? [Body]

Output: Isiah Thomas covertly offering advice and guidance to an owner who gave him an extension for ruining the franchise is a far-fetched idea to you. However, in the comment you made before this, the theory that an SEC team receiving sanctions would result in a secession of the SEC from the NCAA, forming an "unregulated football super alliance" seems plausible to you? http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/ot-alabama-and-barry-sanders-jr-more#comment... Care to explain your logic?


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Title] It seems you do not understand the point of the post [Body]

Output: No where does it state that RR was fired solely because of his (in)ability to recruit. It talks about the myth that RR did not recruit enough players in the state of Michigan. EDIT: Removed second paragraph because I was wrong.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] I was in the same situation [Body]

Output: I was in the same situation after my first year. I thought law school would be interesting and make me a more well-rounded person for whatever job I decided to pursue, and I was hoping to do something in the public interest sector. However, I seriously considered leaving. Among other reasons, I hated focusing on the academic side 24/7. I decided to give the second year a try, but I wanted to try something different - doing something I liked. I volunteered at a legal aid office, got involved in some of the school organizations, and joined one of the school's legal clinics. It made my experience a lot better because I found that I actually cared about what I was doing. So if you want any advice, I would say tough out that first year, and then think about what initially interested you in law school. From there, pursue activities, organizations, and opportunities that relate to those initial reasons for going.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] I am bitter [Body]

Output: I wasn't thrilled when Brady Hoke was hired, especially with all the big names being thrown around. I found that I was extremely frustrated, however, when reading reactions from the traditional media outlets and former players. It is great that these two factions are now once again "all in" for Michigan, but where were they during the RichRod era? Why couldn't they give the same support? Now, Braylon Edwards and Michael Rosenberg are telling me that I am supposed to be excited about this hire and "all in" for the team. It's ridiculous. If the likes of Cato June and Aaron Shea really support Michigan, they should have done so through thick and thin, regardless of who the coach was. Yet, because it was not Michigan football the way they wanted it to be, they decide who they should support, and I am supposed to blindly follow. Whether alluded to or bluntly stated, I hear a lot of people saying that they want things back to the way they were with Coach Carr. It seems people remember what he did differently from me because I recall a 1-5 record against Tressel, a traditional Rose Bowl demolishing, and an inability to stop a running quarterback. I was excited Michigan decided to take a step in a new direction that would finally address these problems. I do not necessarily think RichRod was the right person for the job given the on-field results and the numerous player transfers, but I continue to wonder "what if" when it comes to the support he should have received from these two factions that were so opposed to him from Day 1. Maybe it would not have changed anything, but I would have liked to see what could have happened. I want to support this hire, and I will in time, but everytime I see another former player or reporter telling me how much I should like this decision, I have a harder time doing so.


Input: [Date] 4 years 33 weeks ago [Title] Rewriting history [Body]

Output: I don't think you are really remembering the main issue us "idiots" had. Most of the outrage was over the lack of communication between the coaching staff and the admissions staff. The issue I and many others seemed to have was that he was cleared to receive a LOI by more than just the coaching staff. Then in June he found out he was not going to be accepted here based on an admissions decision. http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/dorsey-letter#comment-507503 I understand now just how bad his grades were, but I still think letting a student know he cannot attend a school 3 months before the start of the semester is poor form.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] For me, it is the first [Body]

Output: For me, it is the first Michigan loss I can remember - vs. Colorado in 1994. It was the first time I ever cried after a loss. After the game, my dad took me to the park to blow off some steam. As we were leaving the parking lot, some kid had left his bike behind our car, and we ran it over as we were backing out. I was able to keep it together as the kid was crying, but I felt bad for both my dad and the kid.


Input: [Date] 5 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Confused [Body]

Output: When you talk about Dwayne Wade being an automatic plug-in over Rip, do you mean over the long-term or during our championship season? If it is over the long-term, then I do not disagree, but for the 2003-2004 season: Richard Hamilton - 35.5 MPG, 17.6 ppg, 4.0 assists, 3.6 rpg, 1.6 steals, 2.6 TO Dwayne Wade - 34.9 MPG, 16.2 ppg, 4.5 assists, 4 rpg, 1.4 steals, 3.2 TO Throw in the fact that Rip's offensive game wore down the other team's SG or SF, and I do not think Wade is a tier above for that season. Also, what made the Pistons a unique championship team is that they really lacked a superstar. They played basketball as a team and focused on defense. A rookie like Carmelo or Bosh would be talented, but from a chemistry standpoint, it could screw up the entire team (e.g. Carmelo complaining that Larry Brown was too hard on him, wanting more minutes, etc.).


Input: [Date] 5 years 6 weeks ago [Title] That depends... [Body]

Output: ...did the athletic department offer your cousin a scholarship to play football here? Did your cousin sign a LOI to attend and play for Michigan? I hope you can recognize that Demar Dorsey went further than simply having a desire to play football for us, and if his academic status was different, he would be.


Input: [Date] 5 years 8 weeks ago [Title] While I appreciate your [Body]

Output: While I appreciate your attempt to give us perspective on this, you seem to be missing the main point. The frustration/disappointment/other negative feeling many of us have for our university right now almost entirely is based on how this situation has been handled. We made him an offer, he accepted and qualified, and now we might not be letting him in. Not only that, but we are keeping him in the dark about what his current status is. Sure we want to see him on the football field this fall, but if this were any other student, and not an athlete, I would feel just as bad for him/her. I just haven't learned of the University handling any other student's enrollment like this. I find no hypocrisy in a position that wants the University to fulfill its end of the bargain, after Dorsey fulfilled his. If we allow Dorsey in, we will still be a strong academic institution. One student-athlete, deserving of a second chance, does not change that.


Input: [Date] 1 week 20 hours ago [Body] I've had a couple of classes with the guy, and I can say he's 100% the kind of guy you want to root for. Really kind, polite, smart, and responsible. Makes an effort to introduce himself to everyone and contribute in class, and takes things more seriously than most non-athletes I've seen. And not in a "good by athlete standards" way either, he would have no problem being a top student without the scholarship. Anyway figured I would share since a lot of times what you see of these guys on TV isn't really how they act in person. Jehu's a great dude. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I'm really into role playing games, and I spend a lot of time playing and prepping games, which includes a lot of creative writing. I was raised on D&D but recently have gotten really into Star Wars: Edge of the Empire. I'd be curious to know if there's anyone else into RPGs on this board, you would think not but you never know. Other than that I work out a lot, and alternate between being into different activities like running, boxing, etc. Those figures look great, by the way. That's another hobby I want to pick up, once I have the money. [Title]

Input: [Date] 12 weeks 7 hours ago [Body] Everybody saying he couldn't have contributed on returns because of his poor stats in the past don't understand just how bad our blocking has been on returns the past few years. Kid was elusive as hell, and with better blocking (read: any blocking) I think his stats would be a whole lot different. That all seems to be a moot point if he was dismissed, though. [Title]

Output: Everybody saying he couldn't


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Good lord. Have the refs supply the game balls if it's that big of a fucking deal. Not that that will happen of course, because the NFL doesn't care about the actual rules as much as they do pandering to public opinion. Good grief... [Title]

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 6 days ago [Body] One big difference to my understanding: In rugby, you can give up an extra yard or two without any major consequences. As such, players are much less likely to go for the head-first "big hit" that stops the ballcarrier in his tracks. In football, an extra yard or two can make all the difference, and players are taught to tackle as such. Not to mention that rugby has its own major concussion issue going on right now. I wouldn't exactly look to that sport to model after. [Title]

Output: One big difference to my


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Good lord. I cannot for the life of me understand why people are so emotionally invested in talking politics on a sports blog. I agree that that post shouldn't have been locked - it should have been deleted. Yeah Harbaugh was tangentially involved in the whole thing - that doesn't make it an appropriate subject for a sports blog. If Harbaugh told people to go out and vote, should we have some huge discussion on the relative merits of the presidential candidates? Hell, this is a UofM sports blog, and UofM is a public university (i.e. part of the state of Michigan), maybe we should have a "Thoughts on Governer Snyder" post stickied on the MGoBoard? The first post about his tweet was toeing the line as is. This past post pretty clearly past it in my opinion. The No Politics rule is a damn good one, as evidenced by what happens in every single goddamn political post on this blog. If you want to talk politics, you can very easily go elsewhere to do so. [Title]

Input: [Date] 19 weeks 5 days ago [Body] It's an amazing album. GKMC was, for me at least, one of the all-time greats, and I wouldn't quite say the same thing about Butterfly (yet anyway). But it's still amazing. "u" had me in tears. Hearing Pac on the outro made my jaw drop. I'm just gonna repost my reddit comment on the subject: It really is an immensely dense album. Unlike GKMC it doesn't really have one unifying theme, but many - black culture, self esteem, the "pimping" of rap artists and black culture generally by America.... If I had one bone to pick it would be that the meaning is so convoluted at times that it doesn't always land as well as I feel it should. There are some songs like u (Kendrick's best in my opinion) and Blacker the Berry that are just so raw and emotional, they're incredible. But there are others on the album that left me somewhat underwhelmed, if only because they were so difficult to decipher. This isn't necessarily a bad thing - having more to digest can be good too - but it does detract from the overall feel at times and for me it's the difference between a 9/10 and a 10/10. [Title]

Output: It's an amazing album. GKMC


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 5 days ago [Body] If that album made you feel on top of the world you weren't listening very closely. No offense.... Outside of "i" the bulk of the album is depressing or at the very least darkly political. [Title]

Input: [Date] 20 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Much as I really want to say "go for it, have fun"... if it were me, I would definitely feel out of place. The student section is full of rowdy 18-22 year olds, and as a student myself I can't say I see many adults there. If you can just own it and have fun in that sort of environment then absolutely go for it, but if you have hangups about standing all game and getting some weird looks from drunk students, those are probably legitimate hangups. Just my $.02 [Title]

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]

Input: [Date] 22 weeks 2 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.

The school bus sized truck I had to use for my route wouldn't go over 55mph and my area was 20minutes away from the bldg so I had to take the freeway. I would literally stand on the accelerator and if you miss timed a shift it would bog the engine down something fierce. I think they've retired that one finally.

Output: I didn't like it because it took the ability to make one's own number great out of the players hands. Would we forever remember Denard as #16 if he had been wearing 98 the last two seasons? I'd prefer they left them alone or just left them as normal numbered jerseys. I don't see a reason why we can't have 98 as a lineman. We know the history we don't need a reminder.

Output: Anything newer than 69 I can't stand. They don't look very good and their owners are usually douches. I will say though that the Ford V8 does sound a lot better than chevy's.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] Uverse 200 has FS1. It's like [Body]

Output: Uverse 200 has FS1. It's like channel 1651 or something in Ohio.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] I would really find it [Body]

Output: I would really find it difficult to find an American car I would actually enjoy. Obviously the new corvettes are nice but unrealistic. Anything in the sedan range is garbage though. Only American sedan I've liked in the last 10 or more years would be maybe a Chevy Cruze. I think cars across the board are at a really low spot for styling and drivability. Designs and functions of these new cars don't interest me in the least.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] They're still made of pop can [Body]

Output: They're still made of pop can aluminum though. One good hail storm and it looks like you cheated on your significant other.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] Mustangs. Ricers. Anything [Body]

Output: Mustangs. Ricers. Anything made by Kia or Hyundai.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] Took a flight on a B-17 at an [Body]

Output: Took a flight on a B-17 at an airshow around here years ago. Drained my bank account at the time but was totally worth it. I disappeared from my family for a while and came back and told them to hold my stuff I'd be back in 45 minutes. I think it was the Yankee Lady also! I was maybe 19 at the time.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I build model kits. Mostly [Body]

Output: I build model kits. Mostly race cars and some aircraft. Currently building two Formula 1 kits now. Coincidentally the IPMS national convention is next week in Columbus. I'll probably head down for a day or two. Loathed that town though. That's a sweet figure what'd it look like before customization?


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] To each their own but I [Body]

Output: To each their own but I couldn't even watch it. I wanted to turn it off halfway through. I thought the story and dialogue was utter shit. Clark Kent was an Everyman quiet nerdy guy. Not some hulk of a human being.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] Deadpool probably won't do [Body]

Output: Deadpool probably won't do well in theaters because of it's edginess but I expect it will be a huge cult classic. Not a fan of SS at all or of this BvS disaster. I grew up loving Superman and that last movie left me disgusted. Not interested at all in anything further. But the Deadpool movie has me giddy.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Water is wet... [Body]

Output: Water is wet...


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Why no smart tv? With the way [Body]

Output: Why no smart tv? With the way everything is being streamed on the internet now that's the only way I'll go with our next tv. I absolutely loathe trying to watch something on a laptop or my phone.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Souvenirs mug [Body]

Output: Souvenirs mug recovered! Harbaugh


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Teddy bear that dances and [Body]

Output: Teddy bear that dances and plays The Victors. Stupid stupid thing. Naturally it's next to my bed. I am a grown man.

Output: Got my HTTV today!!!


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Yea I was thinking possibly a [Body]

Output: Yea I was thinking possibly a Mazda 3 or 6. Not really as sporty though unless you get the hatchbacks and I can't stand hbs.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Been itching to buy another [Body]

Output: Been itching to buy another car. Driving a Trailblazer everyday is killing my wallet. Want something manual and sporty but has to accommodate 2 children also. Would love to get an EVO but I can't find one that's not beaten to piss or wants new car price. I'll probably get a WRX. Used not new.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] Upper 70s several times. [Body]

Output: Upper 70s several times. Think closes to par I ever was was 3 over. I play normal league rules here. Fluff ball within 6 inches. Gimmes are from other people. No mulligans though typically. This year has been very bad for me and golf I've only gotten out 3 times. Past 6-7 years I've golfed 2-3 times a week so my game is hurting. I do rock the full Michigan bag on all the northeast Ohio courses here though.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] PSUs stadium is in the middle [Body]

Output: PSUs stadium is in the middle of nowhere though isn't it? Michigan's is a quarter mile in all directions of a lot of neighborhoods. That's the biggest problem with having a MSU night game is what happens outside of the stadium.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Title] PBR [Body]

Output: PBR


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Students don't go to the on [Body]

Output: Students don't go to the on campus game either. And it's free.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I grew up going to Akron U [Body]

Output: I grew up going to Akron U games and loved it. Saw some good football and had a good time. I was looking forward to taking my kids when I had them. Then they go and build this stupid stadium near the campus where there is absolutely no parking. Ticket prices went from 6$ and a Giant Eagle card to at the minimum 15$ +10$-20$ for parking. I can see it now in the board room when they dreamt up this stadium idea they thought that since they have the stadium of a big time college they can start charging ticket prices similar. My mother works for them and for the last few years they've spent over 2000$ a year on season tickets. They literally sit on the 50 yard line in the club level. When it started there was a buffet and you got two free drinks. As the years ticked by they started taking more and more perks away and they finally got fed up with it and told them to stick it this coming year. It's a terribly run facility and athletic department. The only thing they've ever had is the soccer team and basketball has been semi decent. Its a shame that the minor league baseball team less than 3 minutes away can sell out a 10,000 seat baseball field and they can't ever get more than 5,000 at a football game.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Smoking some wings for the [Body]

Output: Smoking some wings for the first time today. Have to work tomorrow then parents for a cookout. Cookout and swimming at a coworkers on the 4th. Union golf outing all day Sunday. There will be so much beer.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 5 days ago [Title] So if he transfers, because [Body]

Output: So if he transfers, because they won't let him play at Michigan most likely due to some medical input from team drs, what does that say about a team that's going to accept him and let him play? How does he expect to transfer if medical personnel are telling him to pack it up? Are there any repercussions if he were to get injured on another team when they knew he had issues coming in? Seems strange. If a school like Michigan is telling a kid he should stop playing I'd have a hard time accepting him on my team with a clear conscience.


Input: [Date] 21 hours 2 min ago [Title] Well having one playmaker a [Body]

Output: Well having one playmaker a year isn't such a bad wish. I'm fine with that. I think you could make an argument that finding one a year is actually a "need" to sustain a great offense. I hear your point though my man. I think we forget about Cole from last years class. Here's to hoping he shows those "playmaking" skills a few times his freshman year.
