Output: I want to love this, but I'm too lazy to find the relevant videos.


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] I think so? I'm not sure. [Body]

Output: I think so? I'm not sure. We won, though. I feel happy. Belein = good. Edit: Ok ok I should expand a little to be thoughtful. It seemed to me like one of the biggest things Belein did well was to get Jeff Withey away from the basket on defense. We didn't always make the shot, but by pulling Withey towards the perimeter, it allowed McGary to go all McGary in the paint. Which, as we know, was huge. I guess I believe that Belein deserves some credit for getting McGary's production today. Awesome stuff.

Output: truly a noble endeavor. I abstained from posting in the game thread, but I can tell you, I did not want to believe. I was afraid of getting my heart broken if I believed. but I stayed tuned in the whole game, experienced all the frustration & agony, and then finally the unbelievable relief & bliss. I can't say I stayed optimistic. that would be a lie. but I stayed hopeful. and holy crap am I happy!

Output: I liked it when McGary would make jumpers in Witheys face. Yeah ... I liked that.


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] I have also played [Body]

Output: I have also played competitive soccer at a number of levels, and while I agree that the sport, in its purest essence, is a tough & physical game, I would also have to agree that the culture of professional soccer is a little bit "princess-ish". So to me it's two different things - a great game full of beautiful action that I can't stand to follow due to the terrible implementation of rules and the subsequent total corruption of the spirit of play.

Output: In all seriousness, Vincent is the man. He wasnt shaken when it happened, and he's never been shaken since. He did a great Q&A session on reddit which just illustrated his effortless badassery. He even answered a question of mine about his sick blocking, 9 DAYS AFTER I POSED IT, cuz he's that sweet. He cited his "killer instinct", which I believe 100%. V. Smith forever.

I'm with two lab mates who are local, they're basically just complaining about how terrible the badgers' FG % is. Which is legit. No particular insights, just wishing the shots were falling.

Output: Hah, fair question - I'm a PhD student at UW-Madison, so I guess I've got a little bit of academic pride at least, and I enjoy Madison. I was kinda cool with their football team, as they were in the Leaders Division, so who cares, but honestly I'm learning to hate them after this basketball season. I had to see all their stupid fans' faces outside the Kohl Center after that miracle bullshit they pulled on us, and I was mere moments away from steering my vehicle into the masses. JK I'm not murderous. But for real, I was kinda mad.

Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Easy ... PLoS ONE was [Body]

Output: Easy ... PLoS ONE was designed as an open access journal which evaluates submissions on quality of work alone, not the "hotness" of the topic. That's why it's different from journals such as Nature or Science, which have high impact factors. The trade-off is that these journals can be almost tabloid in nature - the kind of articles that get published here are cutting edge, but unreplicated. A decent proportion of these high impact studies wash out as nothing of substance - just something that garners a lot of attention at first blush. Additionally, PLoS has other "versions" of itself - such as PLoS Genetics & PLoS Biology. PLoS Biology is actually a very prestigious journal with a high impact factor - but ironically, they are obligated to not advertise that fact based on their founding philosophy that impact factor is not the alpha & omega of publication. I should also admit that I'm a big proponent of open access scientific formats, & I think it's particularly favorable for large scale studies that use a high volume of data because there are no length restrictions or limitations on how the data can be shared with the scientific community. My two cents.

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Body] According to Forbes, the Lions are the only NFL team to lose money last year, and have done so for 4 straight years. [Title]

Output: Nope


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

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


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Body] but if you are OK with just throwing those guys away for literally nothing, then it's a fine deal [Title]

Output: They gave up a top 50 prospect


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

Output: That's being a bit generous


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Which seems a little dumb to me. Schools with a lot of green probably should avoid this. [Title]

Output: It's Grey


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Like, historic beast. He's a 3 time champ already, going for 4 this year, and he would only be the fourth wrestler in history to win 4 NCAA titles. I'm not sure on an exact count but I'm pretty sure he's lost less than 10 matches since starting high school, and most of them were close matches to older, multi-championship winning wrestlers like David Taylor. [Title]

Output: Steiber is a beast

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


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Dom lost to the youngest Rizgallah, 4-3. I hope Coon makes the Olympics, almost entirely because that means we would get to enjoy post olympic redshirt year wrestling, which is always awesome. That's how you end up with guys like Jake Herbert teching the #2 kid in the country [Title]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Is that you could damn near walk from campus to St. Johns, and yet every single wrestler from there goes to Michigan. They were OK as a team when they had the Simmons and I think Boudro, they've had a few scattered AA and a champ since then, but that's almost entirely a result of being in a wrestling rich area. I would like to say that a big part of why that gap is starting to grow is Michigan's willingness to spend. McFarland was able to hire 2 huge name assistant coaches a few years ago from the olympic program, and Michigan has probably the nicest wrestling practice facility in college. [Title]

Output: All you need to know about MSU wrestling

Output: Did you know


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Still more work in college. Acquiring players is just a much more time consuming task in CFB than it is in the NFL. [Title]

Output: Nah


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 5 days ago [Body] This feels like the kind of article that gets written when some big wig see's the "48 Million Dollar" report on TV and calls the office saying "I just saw an obscenely large number next to a dollar sign on Sportscenter, get the sports econ dude on this!" which then causes him to get on real quick and stretch 2 regurgitated talking points into an article because there isn't any real sports econ story here. Not that he's necessarily wrong, Harbaugh might stay in the NFL for those reasons, it just seems lazily written and out of this guys wheelhouse [Title]

Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Body] So they take this team, which is already relatively old and not that good, and dump 20 million in salary, plus either the money to pay their picks or the picks themselves in the draft. They are going to win maybe 7 games then have to flat out cut starters this off season. They are a tire fire [Title]

Output: They are 20 million over the cap next year


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

Output: I can see it now


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

Output: He's a GIANT improvement defensively


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

Output: That might be bullshit


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

Output: Yes


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

Output: Was Harbaugh at Stanford for 11 years?


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 13 hours ago [Body] They have been extra terrible lately. The fact that they even published the Dr. Football bullshit shows where they are [Title]

Output: You could make it about the product too


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I failed to properly execute, and have double posted. [Title]

Output: Much like the 49'ers O-line


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

Output: O-line regression is probably the biggest culprit


Input: [Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Title] Davis really did make an [Body]

Output: Davis really did make an argument for more playing time. Hopefully it wasn't a result of the competition level as it was nice to see. The game also clarified Altidore's role I think. As Brian said, he didn't have many one-on-one scoring opportunities, but he did a good job of boxing defenders out and fighting for possession. There was a nice sequence in the second half where Altidore controlled a long pass, kept the defender away from the ball with his body, made a quick little pass to Bradley who tried to thread another quick pass to a wide open Davis which was just narrowly deflected. I have a feeling that more than one goal in this World Cup will follow that model: Altidore fights for possession deep allowing the rest of the team to come up, quick pass to Dempsey, quick pass to Bradley, etc, as opposed to a lone player streaking down the field beating defenders.


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] Gardner seems to be reading [Body]

Output: Gardner seems to be reading the MLB ... Does he keep because that LB takes off for the playside? But that doesn't seem right, because the pulling guard ends up on the MLB. Is this supposed to be a handoff but Gardener pulls because the FB botches the block?


Input: [Date] 1 year 40 weeks ago [Title] I very much like this theory, [Body]

Output: I very much like this theory, and giving the coaches some credit in general. Regarding important games, I would throw in ND, which would seem to be a datapoint in Borges's favor. Now, for the tackle-over stuff, I think it makes a lot of sense to deploy it for the two-game Minny/Penn St. stretch. Its a totally sensible gameplan against Penn St. in particular who are thin at the linebacker position. However, it would very much be a datapoint against the coaching if we continued to see it this year. I think another factor behind running non-optimal plays partway through the season is that we want to hide plays from Michigan St. and Ohio. Make them prep for weird stuff, and then throw something completely new that they haven't seen. There are only so many times we can reinvent the offense during the season, and it makes sense to try to have some stuff off-film going into those games. For example, it would make a lot of sense to me see this team turn into a short passing team that utilizes the strengths of Gallon, Dileo and Norfleet in those games. But if that (or some other direction) is coming in the future, we don't want it on film yet, so it should stay in the barn against inferior opposition. Furthermore, if that is the plan, then you don't want to be throwing lots of bubbles, because you don't want to see press coverage on every play.


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] There's another option, which [Body]

Output: There's another option, which is to change up the playcalling. This line has been better at pass-protection than run protection. It seems to me that an emphasis on short passing routes might get some defenders out of the box and make the running game easier. The problems come when the opponent knows we're going to run and we run anyways.

Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] Couldn't these teams also [Body]

Output: Couldn't these teams also just be the ones for which your method is the least accurate - for whatever reason? You're essentially saying that teams that won more than you expected got "lucky", but what if your model is just plain wrong for some teams?

Output: This is obviously better than the straight numbers, but the problem with this approach is that different teams schedules can have very different levels of difficulty. For example, if team A plays a very difficult schedule, they're not going to change those strong teams offensive output as much as team B, who plays nobody but cupcakes.

Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Title] You can't draw conclusions [Body]

Output: You can't draw conclusions from data with such low R2. The R2 is telling you that the percentage of the variation you're accounting for with this variable is 2-3%. So of all the wild outcomes that can occur on the basketball court, the 3pt attempts can explain less than 3% of the result. Don't get mislead by the fact that the conclusions line up in a way that you can rationalize - this data isn't conclusive at all.

Output: I just read about it on the internet.


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Title] Exactly. Reductio ad [Body]

Output: Exactly. Reductio ad absurdum: QBs have higher PAN than offensive guards, so we should stop recruiting so many linemen. Clearly this is wrong. There is a tradeoff between defending the run and defending the pass. Teams that sell out to stop one open themselves up to the other. I think its reasonable to say that one reason Russel Wilson's numbers look so good is precisely because Wisconsin's running game was so dominant.


Input: [Date] 3 years 23 weeks ago [Title] For a "meta stat" post, this [Body]

Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Title] The play-by-play breakdown [Body]

Output: The play-by-play breakdown adds depth that isn't available from summary statistics but I think everyone understands that this is a busy recriuting season, and you're looking for a break after football. Maybe you could focus on ufr-ing "interesting" games (like this one), probably games where something either went really well or horribly wrong, on either side of the ball.

Input: [Date] 30 weeks 2 days ago [Body] All right. Who actually finished the article? Because Kawakami is still making lame excuses: "Second reaction: This is everything… EVERYTHING… the 49ers could’ve wanted from this situation, and it does surprise me that Harbaugh would hand it over to them just like that. Jed York and Trent Baalke wanted no part of Harbaugh after Sunday, and undercut him all season, but now, because he’s leaving on his own to go to college… instead of firing him the 49ers… Don’t have to pay Harbaugh the $5M he has left on his contract or even worry about trying to trade him; Won’t see him in the NFL–and especially the Raiders–for at least a few years; Can even spin it that they wanted to keep him but he left them for a monster deal from his alma mater." Yeah, who wouldn't believe that? [Title]

I had plenty of friends who went and plenty who didn't, and to be honest, the ones that did really don't think too much of it now (5 years later). I think it may be that proms are just not as big of a deal as they were for the older generations. On the other hand, if you think you can get laid then go for it! [Title]

Output: Don't listen to them. I


Input: [Date] 1 year 14 weeks ago [Body] Remember kids: If you can't afford tickets or don't have rich parents you're not a real fan. [Title]

Output: Remember kids: If you can't


Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Body] Sam Dekker was a 5 star, ranked by rivals as the 13th player in the nation. His offers are because he committed so early. http://sports.yahoo.com/footballrecruiting/basketball/recruiting/player-... [Title]

Output: Sam Dekker was a 5 star,


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Body] The record for made 3 pointers in a game for a Michigan player is 9 by Garde Thompson vs. Navy in 1987. Glenn Rice is number 2 with 8. [Title]

Output: The record for made 3


Input: [Date] 1 year 23 weeks ago [Title]

Output: I see the resemblance


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Minnesota only sold beer in limited sections of the stadium. As I recall only one end zone with a limited amount of seats were close to the beer stands. The rest of the stadium would had to walk a long distance to have access to the beer. [Title]

Output: Limited sales


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] Scalping is definitely the cheaper way to go, but I always buy through the UM athletic depatment because that is how bowls determine who "travels" better. If UM can consistently sell more tickets to bowl games than other teams then we will potentially get better bowl bids in the future. That is one of the reasons we ended up in the Sugar bowl last year and in the Outback bowl this year. So for me I understand face value is much higher than what the tickets will be scalping for, but I am hoping to contribute to better bowl games in the future. [Title]

Output: Scalping is cheaper, but...


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] The presonal seat donations range from $100 to $2500 per seat in 2013/14. This year they are half the amount. This is for the lower bowl and some upper bowl seats. The vast majority of the arena are between free (upper bowl) and $100-$200 for the seats. Compared to other Universities not bad. I actually improved my seats to the "valiant" level and only paid $100/seat this year ($200 next). For season ticket holder who has suffered for the last 15 years it is a small price to pay for a competitive team and a good arena. [Title]

Output: Crisler PSD's - Not Bad


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Body] It might be worth checking to see what other games the band is scheduled to go to this year. Every year they usually go to our rivalry games and then maybe one other away game. This year, I am sure they are scheduled to go to both ND and OSU. So they will already have a big travel budget even if they don't include any other game game such as Nebraska. Of course I want to see them in Dallas for such a big game and will let Dave Brandon know that. But at the same time, before we go too crazy let's wait to confirm the news from the athlectic department and to learn the reason why. [Title]

Output: Before everyone goes too crazy...


Input: [Date] 3 years 40 weeks ago [Body] This week all seats will be very cheap. I'd scalp a standard seat on main and stadium before the game. There will be dozens to choose from. [Title]

Output: No need for student tickets


Input: [Date] 3 years 40 weeks ago [Body] For this weeks Purdue game you will be able to scalp a single (or a pair) for very cheap. Just be on the corner of main and stadium 15 to 20 minutes before the game and you will have your pick of seats. Generally for these type of games you can just check the seats from various scalpers to find your favorite location. At which point offer what you want - lower the better. If they don't take it literally walk a couple of feet to the next guy. [Title]

Output: Scalping 1 ticket


Input: [Date] 3 years 46 weeks ago [Body] I'm glad to see many of posters in support of a healthy mix of both the band and RAWK music. I agree that the execution was very poor last few years, but the mix on Saturday was just about right. Not to mention the visual of the maize pom pom's against the dark sky, moving in unison was amazing. It probably looked even better on an HD TV at home. As one of the early comments said, I sit in a section where the people behind me are constantly tugging on my jersey to sit down. Generally I try to appease them for 1st and 2nd down...but for most of the 2nd half and the entire 4th quarter my whole section was standing up cheering, waving the pom pom's, and singing along with the music. It was nice not to have my jersey pulled for much of this game. As a 38 year old season ticket holder I've always felt squeezed between the "down in front" blue hairs and the "kids" who don't have much need for tradition. There is a definite need to save tradition, but also to mix in some more fun. For the past few years I don't think the Athletic Department was pleasing anyone. This year I think the Athletic Department led by Dave Brandon is doing a very good job. It is time to give them their due and stop this anti-RAWK music, anti Pom-Pom tirade. [Title]

Output: Rawk Music & Pom Pom's


Input: [Date] 4 years 9 weeks ago [Body] When Jose first came out with his book about all the doping in MLB everybody wrote him off as a crazy guy who was looking for money and publicity. A few years later everyone realized that much of what he was saying was the truth. Just because Canseco and Clarrett are bad guys doesn't mean that can't tell it like it is. In fact in both of their cases they didn't have anything to lose anymore. [Title]

Output: Reminds me of Jose Canseco


Input: [Date] 4 years 17 weeks ago [Body] Once again the pictures showed the read option. I am impressed with the multiple formations they are showing in the early part of their first spring training. It looks like Borges is truely adapting his offense to the skill sets we have coming back. While we all hope the defense gets back to its old school ways, this is defintely not our father's offense. [Title]

Output: Multiple Offensive Sets


Input: [Date] 4 years 22 weeks ago [Body] Although I've been to both I like Iowa better. Illinois has good bars on campus but the tailgate experience is lacking. Iowa has some parking issues due to the distance between the stadium and the available parking lots, but the lots there to be fun and if you choose you can wander around the stadium and visit food vendors join Iowa parties and have fun interacting with the enemy. Inside the stadium I much prefer Iowa over Illinois. In general I think Iowa fans are much more into the game than Illinois. This alone makes the atmosphere much better. [Title]

Output: I prefer Iowa


Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Body] A colleague of mine is a Ball St. alumni. Although not a Michigan fan a Big 10 fan that follows Michigan. He reminded me that Brady was able to have average or above average MAC recruiting classes at a school and in a state which values basketball much more than football. Brady being able to get any good recruits going to Ball St. is a huge improvement over previous (and current) coaches. As for his time at SDSU it is tough to judge anything after such a short period of time. But it is encouraging to see him getting a lot of 3 star players and competing with much higher profile schools in the conference. Although we won't know anything for several years I suspect given Brady's love for Michigan, and our brand's ability to open doors to most kids, we will eventually settle back into the top 15 of recruiting rankings every year. We can only hope that Brady's charisma, his assistant coaches, and future success will put us back in the top 5 - 10 every year. [Title]

Output: It is Ball St...


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Body] I've done it just about every year since 1996. It is definitely a great experience. Now when I go to games I always look for 2 or 3 other groups that do the same thing. Here are some quick tips for the away games next year. * Reserve hotel rooms now for Iowa and Illinois if you want to be close. * For Northwestern it is always more fun to stay downtown Chicago than near campus. * Try to avoid scalping on game day for MSU. Have fun! We'll see you at the games next year. [Title]

Output: Travel Tips


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Body] I've been to every bowl game since '96. Every time I have chosen to buy from the UM AD for convenience reasons and to sit with other UM fans. Other than a few of the Rose bowl games, most games were not sold out and you could get better seats well below cost outside of the stadium before the game. Given that this year's game probably won't even come close to selling out, I am thinking about scalping them right before the game. Most likely you can get better seats (unused corporate sponsor tickets) for a much lower cost. So your decision will probably come down to cost or convenience. [Title]

Output: Convenience or lower cost?


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] Even the cops get after Michigan fans. Last time I was down I was wandering around outside the stadium drinking some beers in my Michigan gear. A cop came stopped me said I was breaking the law. Given the fact I was surrounded by tons of other Buckeye's doing the same think I thought he was joking. When I pointed that out to him I found out he was dead serious. He ended up saying he would cut us a break but made us drain beer. Moral of the story is you can't even trust the cops on UM/OSU game day. If you are not in Buckeye gear when drinking stick to your tailgate spot. [Title]

Output: Even cops pick on Michigan fans


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Body] In my past trips to Indiana I can certain back up what you are saying. However, I have heard that tickets this year will be much more difficult to come by. They think the game might be a sell out (which is rare down there). IU is 4-0 and thinks they have a chance to beat Michigan. Although I am sure tickets won't be much more than face value - I don't think they will be going for that cheap. I wouldn't worry about getting tickets down there, but just in case have enough money to cover face value +. See you at the game! [Title]

Output: Maybe not this year...


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Body] At this point you don't have any real good options. Hotels near Ann Arbor are sold out. Most that do have space are in towns where you probably don't have cab options. If you want to drive 45 minutes in the morning you can stay in downtown Detroit and enjoy the casinos or Greek Town. Otherwise what I have done in the past is rent an RV and stay at Pioneer or another spot which allows RV. Nothing like the tailgate atmosphere the night before a big game in the RV lot. [Title]

Output: Rent an RV


Input: [Date] 4 years 44 weeks ago [Body] My first dog - a black retriever mix - we named Blue. The plan was to get a second golden retriever and name it Maize. Never happened. Then shortly after Blue died, Bo passed away. At that point I knew my second dog would be named Bo. [Title]

Output: Blue & Bo


Input: [Date] 4 years 46 weeks ago [Body] Tomorrow tickets will be a dime a dozen. By any of the major entrances - espcially main and stadium or on the Pioneer side of main or stadium you will be able to pick them up cheap around 15 to 20 minutes before game time. You will be able to verify this through the old fashion supply and demand method - lots of tickets in the air = too much supply and a buyers market. Always ask the price if they don't give something cheap - offer half and say you will go to the guy next to them if they don't take it. No one will want to wait around to sell there tickets when the game is going to start and there are a million tickets available. In most cases I will actually talk to different scalpers and check who has the best seats before making the deal. Whatever you do don't buy them too early from a guy that has a sign that says "need tickets". If you are looking to sell tickets at the game for $50/each, try to find a sucker to buy them early before you get near the stadium. Once you get there, no one in their right mind will need to pay anywhere near face value - same goes for the BG game. [Title]

Output: Tickets will be a dime a dozen


Input: [Date] 4 years 46 weeks ago [Body] I love the picture posts. This is anlaysis is what separates mgoblog from the rest of the MSM and other blogs. I was just arguing with someone yesterday who was complaining about how "simplistic" the UM offense was and how we will be killed in the Big 10 season. I just wish he would read these posts to learn more about our offense. Keep the posts coming! [Title]

Output: Love the picture posts - keep them coming!


Input: [Date] 5 years 2 weeks ago [Body] I've been going to every game since '96. Well technically I have missed 4 games in that time period. Even though work keeps me real busy, this is a great way to get away on weekends in the fall. Over time you start to recognize a lot of the regulars who also make most of the trips, make new friends, develop favorite restaurants & traditions in the Big 10 cities, and get occasionally get to see some new cities that you would never normally go to like Eugene, OR. Since they always do more home games than away, it isn't as tough or as expensive to do as one would think. Other than bowl games usually you don't have to fly and typically there are only 3 or 4 games in which you need to get a hotel for. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves Michigan football. [Title]

Output: All games since '96


Input: [Date] 5 years 4 weeks ago [Body] Anyone who thinks that parking structures will improve the parking situation at sporting events clearly has not spent much time at sporting events or has had to park in the structure. Not only are they a nightmare to get out of after the game, but they provide a very inconvenient and poor tailgate atmosphere. I have been to every Big 10 stadium many times as well as a number of other stadiums. Although Michigan has to provide parking for thousands of more fans, the experience and convenience rivals any other situation. If you want the designation of a "Big House" with great tailgating options, by definition you will need to have parking which goes out for a mile or two. If you want to park close, suck it up and donate more money. That is the way it works at Michgan and every other institution. [Title]

Output: Parking Structures Suck


Input: [Date] 5 years 15 weeks ago [Body] The writing is on the wall. If Bill Martin almost sold the naming rights to the UM/OSU game then anything is possible - especially with an AD who is focused on growing and improving our sports teams. The fact that they put ads in the stadium for the spring game breaks sends a strong signal. I would be shocked if there weren't ads in the Big House for the Big Chill - after all Michigan does sell ads for all other sports other than football. Even though I prefer no ads, as long as the money goes to support strong sports programs I guess I can live with it. [Title]

Output: Ads are a done deal


Input: [Date] 5 years 15 weeks ago [Body] You might want to call the AD. I was offered and purchased about a month ago. Even though they have already sold over 60k, you might be able to still order them and if you have enough priority points still get good tickets. They don't actually assign the tickets till Sep/Oct. [Title]

Output: Season tickets holders got offered over a month ago


Input: [Date] 5 years 15 weeks ago [Body] I think the 14 team league is picking up steam, because ND would most likely be one of the teams. They have already said that if the football landscape changes then they would have to consider joining a conference. Most people agree that if the Big 10 moves to 14 teams others will follow suit. That means ND would be forced into deciding which conference they want to join. I can't imagine them not thinking the Big 10 would be the best fit for them. Thus I think it is likely that the Big 10 might move towards 14 teams just to get ND. [Title]

Output: ND comes with a 14 Team League


Input: [Date] 5 years 15 weeks ago [Body] Most NFL contracts now include large signing and roster bonuses which are guaranteed. First round picks essentially know what they are going to get based on where they are picked. Suh knows for sure he will be a top 5 pick, which means millions of guaranteed dollars. There is no risk to either Suh or Nebraska with this commitment. I wish more players were this generous and classy. Can't wait till he is a Lion. [Title]

Output: Top 10 Picks Get a Lot of Guaranteed Money


Input: [Date] 5 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Hotwire is definitely the way to go. You can always get a 4 or 5 star hotel for much cheaper than the regular rates. The last 3 times I have been each time I was at a great hotel within walking distance of the Hockey HOF. You can then use the money you saved on some great theater. Although I much prefer to see the Tigers play in Toronto than theater, my wife loves to catch a play. Toronto is well known for having some of the best theaters outside of NY. I got engaged in Toronto and took my wife to see Phantom at the Pantages theater while out there. It was definitely a romantic hit. [Title]

Output: Hotwire & Theater


Input: [Date] 5 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Although Oregon is a mess now, I believe it has more upside than Minnesota. They have great facilities, with Nike they have more money than most schools, and the Pac 10 is not as deep as the Big 10. I've got to think if Tubby is offered the job it is at least 50/50 that he takes the money and the upside that goes along with the Oregon offer. [Title]

Output: Oregon has more upside than Minnesota


Input: [Date] 5 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Having a pint or two of oberon in the Bell's courtyard, Michigan's spring game, and opening day in baseball are the best ways to celebrate the end of winter! [Title]

Output: 3 best ways to celebrate the end of winter


Input: [Date] 5 years 22 weeks ago [Body] If you want the best seats are generally considered row 30 to 50. Too low and you get bad viewing angles and can't see the whole field. That being said for the spring game, I supposed you would have a better chance at talking with people on the field if you were in the first row. Last year we got there as the flag football game was starting and got great seats about 40 rows up near the 40 yard line. [Title]

Output: Best seats are higher up


Input: [Date] 5 years 23 weeks ago [Body] If you do the compare the records over the last two season's Tubby has a 36-22 to 34-27 edge. So basically they have a very similar record even though Tubby has some much higher rated talent. I think it is clear that JB gets much more out of his players than Tubby does. As he gets more of the type of players he needs in his system (think Smotrycz & Brundidge), I think Michigan will continue to improve while Tubby keeps the status quo at Minnesota. I am very happy we have JB as coach. [Title]

Output: Compare the last 2 years


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] I know all football coaches are "yellers" but RR seemed over the top. We all remember him looking like he would explode at times. I also remember distinctly how his teams would come out after halftime completely deflated. We were benind but still "in the game" vs. Iowa this year. We came out after halftime instead of being enthused and pumped, the team was deflated and dejected. We got the second half kickoff and promptly went 3 and out in like 40 seconds and the ass-kicking was on. Seemed like he lacked the ability to get enthusiastic support from both fans and the team. Glad the experiment isover, but the next two years will be rough. [Title]

Output: Seemed like a "yeller"


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] It seems any smart high school player should see what we see and want to play wiht Denard. I wish we could find a way to better publicize him nationally to get recruits. Who wouldn't want to play on the team of a future superstar / Heisman winner (I hope). [Title]

Output: Can't we use Denard as a recruiting asset?


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] I think we all see the writing on the wall about the decommits and challenges Brady will have filling this class. It may be a stupid question, but can't we somehow enlist the support of our excellent NFL ambassadors and influential alumni to help? Go Brady, Go Blue [Title]

Output: Can't we enlist Alumni to help save this class?


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] I was hoping for more than the Michigan we are accustomed to. Remember Hart, Hennie, and Long as Seniors losing to Appalachian State. That is the MIchigan I hoped we left befind. Now it appears to be the road ahead. [Title]

Output: Wow that is a big endorsement - Back to the Future


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] Brian, well said. RR was a disaster in so many ways, but he gave us hope that there could be a better day coming. the worse part of the Hoke hire is the capitulation to reach higher and instead settle to be what we used to be. For all the revisionist historians, do you remember that last misserable years of the Lloyd dynasty? Do you remember having a top 5 recruiting class as seniors there were pre-season top 5 and promptly lost to Appalachian state? Do you remember the predictable offense and bend but don't break defense that often broke. Remember the hopelessnes of knowing that it would never get better because of the guy leading the program. Don't get me wrong, I have always supported the program and will now. But I sense we "settled" for above average instead of striving for exceptional. Let's be honest, we hired an above average (on a good day) coach. We did not hire a great coach. Even his advocates use words like "he's solid". Wow, solid, that is exciting. Lloydball here we come. I will support Hoke, but he needs to win. It is nice that he is a"nice guy". It is helpful that he is a Michigan man. None of it matters if he only returns us to the mediocrity we had become. I wish we aspired for more. Hoke refused to even conceed after like 4 questions that he even aspired for a National Championship. So if we are really successful, we rework the program again, broom recruits and rebuild over only to achieve mediocrity in a few years. I for one, am hopeful, but not very excited about any of this. I feel we have given up on greater dreams and that is the real shame.. [Title]

Output: Hopeful Skeptic


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] Great info. Thanks forsharing it. Too many on this site are over-rotating on some questionable player handling. He is exactly what we need - a winner that understands what Michigan is all about, runs a hybrid offense (that Denard would excel in), a great recruiter and a man of character. Those looking for something more are delusional. Guaranteed, little bro and the bucknuts do not want us hiring Miles. That should tell you enough.. [Title]

Output: His Success is not an Accident


Input: [Date] 4 years 48 weeks ago [Body] I agree with 8-4. The offense is going to give teams absolute fits. We will be thrilled with and overachieving 8-4. Nothing like the Lloyd 8-4 underachievers. [Title]

Output: Offense and attitude = 8 Wins


Input: [Date] 4 years 48 weeks ago [Body] I agree 100% with you. Great point. What is lost in all these predictions is the emotion of the team. We all know that this has a huge impact. This team has better leadership, worked harder in the off-season and is more together and determined than last year. I think that counts for a lot and will show as the season progresses. I like the fact that everyone is writing them off. They will suprise some people. [Title]

Output: I agree 100% with you. Great


Input: [Date] 4 years 49 weeks ago [Body] Great analysis. I agree with most of your assessments and most are probably on target. The one area that I would suggest you may be a little conservative is in the Defense YPG. You stated that you are projecting 375-400 this year after an abysmal 393 last year. I get the loss of Warren, Graham, and Woolfolk but have several points to ponder: 1. It was relatively easy for teams to neutralize Graham and the rest of the defense was horrible. On offense, one incredible player can make and incredible play and change the game. On defense, 10 player can do their job and one screws up and it costs you a game. In other words, defenses are often only as good as their weakest link. A single incredible player i more easily neutralized on defense because the oppositiion double teams them or runs away from them. As a result, I believe the loss of Graham will not be as great. 2. If Warren was such a loss, why did he not get drafted and why was our turnover margin so poor. I contend that we thought Warren was awesome when compared to our Freshman and walk on alternatives. 3. The rest of the defense outside of Warren and Graham are better. At nearly every position we have an improvement over 2009. We have second year players instead of true freshman and walk ons. We have Senior linebackers playing instead of underperforming Juniors. We have another year in the system and another year of conditioning. If this makes sense, it would be interesting to know what happens to the overall probability of wins if you dial back the defensive underperformance to 365 YPG. If Michigan performs at this level, it is still the 8th best in the Big Ten (based on last year) and only 3 teams are worse. It might mean a 8 win year. How great would 8 wins feel after the last two years? All In. [Title]

Output: Great Analysis, But Defense Should be Modestly Better


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Is he is suspended for 4 practices to be served each Monday for four weeks in a row. [Title]

Output: My guess


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] The last thing we need is a guy who flies off the handle when someone calls him a name. Looks to me like there are going to be a lot more 15 yarders coming Tom's way if he can't handle a little name calling. Might as well start calling Jerel Worth ... Jerry. Then they can be Tom and Jerry. [Title]

Output: Good thing he didn't come here


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] I don't think people are saying we lost because State played dirty ... if anything they kept the game close by giving us 1st down after 1st down. We are just saying they dirty somma bitches, and that's no way to earn respect in college football. We definitely lost .. we got out played, and the playcalling was bad. I would blame the wind more than I would blame Michigan State's dirty azz players. [Title]

Output: I Don't think


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] What is gonna happen tonight? What should happen is all of their recruits should de commit, and tell the coach they want to learn to play football at a higher level ... they are not really into boxing. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Then it's a 15 yard penalty. Does that mean everytime you get facemasked you turn the incident into an mma match. Next time someone pulls him down by his facemask is he gonna throw a superman knee to his throat and lock on a rear naked choke? LSJ ... "We'll he grabbed his facemask and pulled him down ... he deserved the kick to the throat. [Title]

Output: And if he did


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Good Thing Dantonio doesn't coach the basketball team ... the late punches to the face would look a lot worse on the hardwood. [Title]

Output: The Line opened at Wisc - 7


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] This gives everyone the chance to make a compillation of all the late hits from the game, so they can send it to the Big Ten office. I have seen plenty of those posts this weekend. [Title]

Output: I guess


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] I wonder how Harbaugh will react when Schwartz direspects him next time they play ... and the Lions win. But, I gotta give the man the respect he deserves on the field ... he is doing a hell of a job coaching everywhere he goes. [Title]

Output: We could always


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Denard is not going to be a qb in the NFL .. no way no how ... but, he will be playing on Sunday's. We should start using him in the role he will be playing in at the next level. He needs to be lined up all over the field on offense ... he will be much more dangerous. [Title]

Output: Here's the deal


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Regarding the play calling. The winds were swirling like crazy and all of our pass patterns were 19 yeards down field. There should have been way more double screens, and quick slants ... mixed in with a lot of runs. I remember the delay of game call in the 1st quarter where we were in the power I -- that play was going to work .... our rb was out there with only 1 guy between him and the end zone before the whistle was blown. Then ... we never used that play again [Title]

Output: I agree


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] I hope he does get suspended for a game ... like Northwestern. Let him play against Wisconsin so they can manhandle his ass. Pull from a lesser game .. and go on to lose that one. [Title]

Output: Gholston


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] making a push up the list, and I could see Michigan State drop a spot or 2 [Title]

Output: I can see Wisconsin


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Any player with two personal fouls should warrant a game suspension. [Title]

Output: No doubt


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] If they get away with it .. then they will do it the rest of the season. I guess sometimes it takes a major injury for someone to hold a person accountable. [Title]

Output: That's true


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] This behavior is expected from them. And, I expect to see a lot more of it this season from them. It all starts with the coaching staff ... and ... well .... [Title]

Output: Actually .. Expected


Input: [Date] 3 years 41 weeks ago [Body] I was wondering this same thing. Why did Fitz not get more carries? We obviously weren't going to be able to pass very well in the high winds, and we looked strong carrying the ball early on. [Title]

Output: I was


Input: [Date] 3 hours 46 min ago [Title] That looks more like Thad [Body]

Output: That looks more like Thad Matta to be honest.


Input: [Date] 3 hours 48 min ago [Title] Are we now the big ten big [Body]

Output: Are we now the big ten big ten network facebook page who posts something about Urban Meyer and Ohio State every day? So far this week, they've posted about a butter statue of Urban, a dummy prank, Cardale Jones tossing a boy into a pool, is Urban Meyer the best coach in college today, and breaking down reigning national champion Ohio State's qb options.


Input: [Date] 5 hours 54 min ago [Title] I'd definitely take him but [Body]

Output: I'd definitely take him but I'm not sure that it would look good for us to take someone denied by another big ten school but it could be non academic related.


Input: [Date] 6 hours 1 min ago [Title] Agreed. Hopefully we can [Body]

Output: Agreed. Hopefully we can still get Bridges if he wanted to go here. Hopefully we don't get too complacent as other big ten teams are starting to get better recruits and lose our foothold in the league.


Input: [Date] 7 hours 51 min ago [Title] Looks like Dantonio is making [Body]

Output: Looks like Dantonio is making space after cutting ties with a recruit a few days ago and this.


Input: [Date] 19 hours 20 min ago [Title] Best case: We win every game [Body]

Output: Best case: We win every game by 50 enroute to a national championship while Urban Meyer leaves for Utah State. Worst Case: We lose 77-7 to UNLV and go 0-12. Jabrill Peppers breaks his ankle on the first series against Utah and is out for the season. Jim Harbaugh leaves coaching to open a Culvers and we hire co-head coaches of Rich Rod and Brady Hoke.


Input: [Date] 19 hours 25 min ago [Title] I wonder what the Spartan [Body]

Output: I wonder what the Spartan reaction to this is. If Michigan let him back on the team, they would be crying foul.


Input: [Date] 23 hours 16 min ago [Title] Agreed. Women are qualified [Body]

Output: Agreed. Women are qualified enough to coach football but it's going to be hard to find a female who has the experience to do it compared to sports like baseball or basketball where there's a female equivalent in playing it.


Input: [Date] 1 day 4 hours ago [Title] Also, if they did it like in [Body]

Output: Also, if they did it like in past years, the line for Harbaugh might end in Saline.


Input: [Date] 1 day 4 hours ago [Title] I wish the adults could still [Body]

Output: I wish the adults could still get autographs and go but the ebay people ruin it for the genuine Michigan fans.


Input: [Date] 2 days 4 hours ago [Title] 90 percent of Ohio is rolling [Body]

Output: 90 percent of Ohio is rolling farm lands. It's no surprise that they are what they are without another college team and such a big state.


Input: [Date] 2 days 6 hours ago [Title] I think 2015 was a pretty [Body]

Output: I think 2015 was a pretty terrible recruiting class on par with 2011 but 2014 was a relatively good class that just had only 16 players bringing it down.


Input: [Date] 2 days 7 hours ago [Title] August 8th: Upshur [Body]

Output: August 8th: Upshur announcement day


Input: [Date] 2 days 7 hours ago [Title] I'm not sure he has a huge [Body]

Output: I'm not sure he has a huge dislike for Urban Meyer. He just has a huge ego and a need to be a dick to everyone possible at all times.


Input: [Date] 4 days 53 min ago [Title] Didn't Mattison get guys as [Body]

Output: Didn't Mattison get guys as recent as last year that were pretty good recruits? Harbaugh still has guys he turned into great players on the defensive side like Richard Sherman so I thought it could be a selling point to get at least some 4 stars to commit in the defensive backfield.


Input: [Date] 4 days 1 hour ago [Title] If thats what 93grad was [Body]

Output: If thats what 93grad was saying, it sounds like the typical spin job he does to make us look worse than we actually are. Dantonio has coached for twice as long at MSU than Harbaugh has at Stanford. Of course his accomplishments are going to look better than Harbaugh's college accomplishments given that Harbaugh has only been a college FBS coach for 4 years and was kicking ass in the NFL for half of Dantonio's MSU tenure.


Input: [Date] 4 days 1 hour ago [Title] Dantonio accomplishing more [Body]

Output: Dantonio accomplishing more than Harbaugh. You can't be serious. Our guy has been in the super bowl and went to 3 nfc titles. That is much harder to do than going to one rose bowl and cotton bowl in 8 years coaching.


Input: [Date] 4 days 1 hour ago [Title] Harbaugh would be up there [Body]

Output: Harbaugh would be up there with Saban or Meyer if he had been at LSU or Florida prior to coming here like those two instead of two typically downtrodden places like Stanford and the 49ers.


Input: [Date] 4 days 4 hours ago [Title] We could end up with only 1 4 [Body]

Output: We could end up with only 1 4 star on the defensive side if we lose Gary. I was hoping to do better than that considering the offense we'll have to go up against in the last saturday in November. Kind of strange that Mattison's recruiting prowess has fallen off and Durkin hasn't lived up to his billing.


Input: [Date] 4 days 21 hours ago [Title] I don't think you ever should [Body]

Output: I don't think you ever should get to retire when you want to if the team's not winning. If you're not producing wins and are getting paid millions to do so, why are you entitled to stay around and coach?


Input: [Date] 4 days 22 hours ago [Title] I don't think he's a [Body]

Output: I don't think he's a superstar but he's clearly one of our better players at his position.


Input: [Date] 4 days 22 hours ago [Title] Isn't a 3.0 gpa pretty good [Body]

Output: Isn't a 3.0 gpa pretty good at a place like Michigan? It seems weird that he would be kicked off for competitive reasons for his 5th year as he would bring a lot to the table in kick return and slot.


Input: [Date] 4 days 23 hours ago [Title] Even if he didn't really want [Body]

Output: Even if he didn't really want to move back, Michigan could double what he makes at Tech easily and we recruit better players and are a bigger name. Michigan is 1st in hockey national championships and 2nd in all time wins. Then again he may want to stay at his alma mater and I'm just like an NFL fan during the Harbaugh process.


Input: [Date] 5 days 1 hour ago [Title] That's the point. If you hire [Body]

Output: That's the point. If you hire a Tom Anastos you're taking a risk of going deeper into the woods. Get Pearson while we still get top classes every year and recruit perspective hasn't shifted.


Input: [Date] 5 days 2 hours ago [Title] He never had an issue with us [Body]

Output: He never had an issue with us even when we were winning. He hates the buckeyes and I'd love to listen to somebody talk about how Cardale Jones doesn't play school during halftime of a Ohio St game and how Pitt is a much better school or something else instead of blowing Urban.


Input: [Date] 5 days 2 hours ago [Title] Why hate Mark May? He [Body]

Output: Why hate Mark May? He badmouths Notre Dame and Ohio State all the time and never seems to have anything bad to say about us.


Input: [Date] 5 days 2 hours ago [Title] Given the way recruiting goes [Body]

Output: Given the way recruiting goes in basketball Cassius will wind up at msu and this kid will wind up in Columbus


Input: [Date] 5 days 3 hours ago [Title] Well Cassius Winston is the [Body]

Output: Well Cassius Winston is the number 1 option by far. This kid looks like a good backup.


Input: [Date] 5 days 3 hours ago [Title] We need Mel Pearson like we [Body]

Output: We need Mel Pearson like we needed Harbaugh. I don't want to hire some random coach and go into the wilderness like Michigan football did for 7 years. Use that Nike money to get our hockey harbaugh.


Input: [Date] 5 days 3 hours ago [Title] 1. Michigan football 2. [Body]

Output: 1. Michigan football 2. Michigan bball 3. Michigan hockey 4. Any power 4 Detroit teams 5. All other Michigan teams


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] I am pleased with a combo of a senior version of Horford, and Ricky Doyle. You are leaving Max Bielfeldt out of the equation at the 4; He will be a 4th year junior at that point, and a player who I think will be an able contributor and a nice compliment to Donnal. I actually think 2014 shapes up nicely. Coach B will have a very experienced and talented group. I will approach this under the assumption that McGary and GRIII are gone and Irvin is still around 2014 Senior: Jon Horford Juniors: Max Bielfeldt Caris Levert Nik Stauskas Spike Albrecht Sophomores: Derrick Walton Zak Irvin Mark Donnal Freshman: Ricky Doyle and who knows who. [Title]

Output: I am pleased with a combo of


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] I thought for sure he would go to Arkansas but maybe he didn't want to play with his distant cousins. Anyway this is clearly a case of natural selection going awry. [Title]

Output: I thought for sure he would


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] Seems like the kid just knows how to play football. Hopefully he's a bigger version of James Ross. Wouldn't that be special. [Title]

Output: Seems like the kid just knows


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] Corey Sanders looks like he could play on one of the And1 teams with Spike Albrecht. Corey could be Skip to my Lou and of course Spike would be THE PROFESSOR! [Title]

Output: Corey Sanders looks like he


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] Per his umhoops.com interview, Chatman has been compared to Jalen Rose. We can only hope. Chatman is a lefty, and reminds me a little of Caris LeVert; similar type of game, also got a little Calbert Cheaney game with those lefty pull up J's. Chatman would be an excellent addition to the M hoops squad. [Title]

Output: Per his umhoops.com


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] Doyle is not a flyer at all. Nonsense. The kid is very good. Doyle has a nice shot and it is fundementally sound, he has a post game, and has a nice frame. Doyle is 6'9'' now and may not be done growing. His father is 6'11'', played for the Pistgns a minute, had a long pro career overseas, and his taught his son well on the intricacies of the basketballs. Doyle is probably a 4 year player and could conceivably be a 3 year starter. Great get by Beilein. [Title]

Output: Doyle is not a flyer at all.


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] Better than the interview with Tim Hardaway on the ESPN podcast, was the interview with KU coach Bill Self. Self made a comment about feeling much better now than he did the last two minutes of the Michigan game, and later Self gave a scouting report of Trey Burke that was very complimentary. [Title]

Output: Better than the interview


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] How about no-hitter gate LOL [Title]

Output: How about no-hitter gate LOL


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] Chad Henne. Jason Forcier. David Cone. Ryan Mallett. Justin Feagin. Tate Forcier. Denard Robinson. Devin Gardner. Russell Bellomy. Shane Morris. Michigan football, since the days of Chad Henne has been a little unstable, leading to the inability to redshirt quarterbacks on a consistent basis. Although we would all like Shane Morris to redshirt, the likelihood of the opportunity presenting itself is slight. Since the recruitment of David Cone, only Russell Bellomy was afforded the opportunity to redshirt his freshman season. With Bellomy's knee injury I don't think the opportunity will be presented to Shane Morris. [Title]

Output: Chad Henne. Jason


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] I would be surprised to see Shane Morris redshirt in 2013. Morris will be the second best healthy quarterback on the roster when he arrives in the summer, therefore I think the coaches will get him ready to play, and will play him early on in the season. As Brady Hoke likes to say, what's best for the team is usually best for the individual, and in this case what's best for the team will be Shane Morris on the field getting experience in the case of an unfortunate injury to Devin Gardner [Title]

Output: I would be surprised to see


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Body] Peppers is probably the best offense of recruit, the best defensive recruit, and the best special-teams recruit, of this upcoming class of Wolverines. It is going to be hard to win the Heisman Trophy as a freshman if he doesn't play special teams and offense, as well as defense. [Title]

Output: Peppers is probably the best


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Body] Sanchez fucked up, he should have walked Mauer [Title]

Output: Sanchez fucked up, he should

Output: He doesn't seem much


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Body] It means Booker has a bubble butt and Michigan fans are going to feign outrage over Urban Meyer's appraisal [Title]

Output: It means Booker has a bubble

Output: I think Tripp Welborne is a


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Body] Tripp Welborne is an apt comparison for Dymonte Thomas. No. Name Pos. Year Letter Class Hgt. Wgt. Hometown State High School 3 Welborne, Tripp WR 1987 v Fr. 6-1 185 Greensboro NC Page 3 Welborne, Tripp DB / WR 1988 v So. 6-1 193 Greensboro NC Page 3 Welborne, Tripp SS 1989 v Jr. 6-1 193 Greensboro NC Page 3 Welborne, Tripp SS 1990 v Sr. 6-1 201 Greensboro NC Page [Title]

Output: Tripp Welborne is an apt


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Body] Good point. Definitely looks as though he could play small forward on a basketball team with his quick feet and agility. [Title]

Output: Good point. Definitely looks

Output: Never again will I bother


Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Body] Jim Smith was from Blue Island, Illinois, at least that's what Bob Ufer always told me. Jim Smith was a fantastic football player, but was somewhat obscured because he was followed by Anthony Carter. [Title]

Output: Jim Smith was from Blue

Output: We had sub 4.4's it was crazy


Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Body] I think Verlander either has a sore shoulder or his mechanics are screwed up. It looked to me as if Verlanders motion was different, like he was shot putting, or lunging, or doing something out of his ordinary delivery. [Title]

Output: I think Verlander either has


Input: [Date] 2 years 11 weeks ago [Body] David Brandon is behind this, he is trying to increase the Michigan brand and coerced Speight to go to these camps, wear Michigan gear, and help recruit future Wolverines [Title]

Output: David Brandon is behind this,


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Kid might be super smart, but that highlight reel only showed him needing to remember 2 routes. A TE out and a TE cross. I think the only time he caught something different was a out that he shaded upfield because there was no safety over the top. [Title]

Output: Two Routes


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 8 hours ago [Body] Larceny flavored with a Calvados soaked apple to be precise... [Title]

Output: bourbon


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 4 days ago [Body] How long will it take IU to fire Crean? When they do and get a competent coach in there, they would be my pcik... assuming of course they continue to recruit like they have been. If UM gets Brown (15) or Langford (16), then things will start looking up. [Title]

Output: Depends


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 2 days ago [Body] You are correct in your inferences [Title]

Output: True


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 2 days ago [Body] His job isn't to decide which recruits to offer, never has been and isn't going to be. That is a coach's job. He's not a coach despite being referred to as one by the recruits. [Title]

Output: Not really


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Singletary is in the office and on the job right now. IF he isn't going to be retained, everyone might want to adjust their recruiting expectations down for the near future. He is the connect to recruits, let's just say it'll be a rough transition without him. [Title]

Output: On the Job


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 2 days ago [Body] He did scouting for IMG to target which college players the agency wanted to go after. Plus, he predated Hoke and though I could be wrong Rich Rod. He's one of Lloyd's guys and he's the one who's been keeping the few recruits we currently have connected to UM. I seriously doubt he's on the way out. [Title]

Output: I Agree


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I too have taken notice of the Non-nude but still NSFW avatars lately. Never considered myself an old fogey, but the person at the desk next to mine is a woman. That's not a good look for a workplace. And for those of you questioning why you would be on a sports blog at work, you must never have worked in an office. People don't work 100% of the time in the office. There are studies that show that taking a break every hours or so makes you more productive. [Title]

Output: Noticing it more


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Just a little FYI, Q. Washington is also a member of Omega Psi Phi and was initiated while he was on the football team. Now seeing a 300 lb D-lineman performing that "hop" during a game would've been priceless. [Title]

Output: QWash


Input: [Date] 51 weeks 11 hours ago [Body] I am way too old to care and I think these look good. Wearing the same clothes for 20 years isn't tradition, it just means you haven't bothered to try anything else. [Title]

Output: Almost 40...


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] Look at his list, what do all of the schools outside of us and Louisville have in common? Hint: It's the same thing that is shared with Kennard's AAU team, the King James something or other. Yep, you guessed it, it's the swoosh. He is a Nike recruit and will go to a Nike school. It would be a shock if he doesn't choose the swoosh. It's all about the sneaker money. BTW, this is not an indictment against our Adidas contract, just an observation. [Title]

Output: The surprise will not be us or 'ville


Input: [Date] 1 year 24 weeks ago [Body] This was just perfect! [Title]

Output: Awesome


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Body] Richard Sherman is the best corner in football and was the best corner on the field last night. The 49ers treated him like Deion Sanders and just avoided whatever side of the field he was on until that last play. I am just curious why everyone here is all butt hurt that he had a Darius Morris moment. "Get the F@#@ off my court!" He is far from a thug, even though he did grow up in Compton and has dreads and for a few moments was a load black man. He is not in need of media training, I will point to that Stanford Communications degree for that. He is cocky, he is arrogant, and he is the BEST corner in the NFL. [Title]

Output: Thank You

Output: Thanks


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Body] Izzo's style is going to continue to win games as long as he is coaching. Same with Bo Ryan, that is until they start calling fouls in the B10 the way they do in the ACC. [Title]

Output: Agreed


Input: [Date] 2 years 13 weeks ago [Body] They had an in-season transfer, so adding the second commit is not a surprise. Adding a commit that was originally a Minny signed isn't exactly stealing commits from Middle Tennessee State [Title]

Output: Transfer


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Body] I would agree that in the past THJ took a lot of bad shots, but this year that was not the case. A lot of the shots he missed in the tourney were on drives and foul line area jumpers, those are not bad shots. Sure he missed some in the offense 3's, but they were in the offense and not bad shots. Label him a streaky shooter if you like, but he (at least this year) was not a poor shot taker. [Title]

Output: Not buying


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] After the McGray layup, we get the 'YES!' single-clap. After the Spike steal and layup, we get the What?-Gotta get off my stool and applaud that clap. [Title]

Output: Love Coach Beilein's Reactions


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] Just curious about this selection of the team, was it just for the last two games? Because McLemore was horrible until the Michigan game. Stauskas was only great for one game. I think Timmay was more deserving than Nik. As for MOP, Burke was a dominant point guard and the engine for the best offense in the region. [Title]

Output: Just the last two games?


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] As a father now, this was even sweeter than the Fab 5 or 89 teams since my son was watching by my side. I never expected a 20 point win, I felt like I was in shock the entire game. [Title]

Output: HAIL


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Body] My childhood rooting interests were Sparty except when they played Michigan. So even though I loathe the current state of Spartan fandom, I will be rooting for them and the B1G. I want an all B1G final four. That is the absolute best thing for the league and my team. Plus it will be the ultimate shutthehellup to Barkley. [Title]

Output: My brackets say Sparty


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Doyle's dad had a cup of coffee with the Pistons before he went overseas to play. Not sure it quite fits, but it is that whole pro father legacy thing again. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 22 weeks ago [Body] Now I have to spend a significant portion of my day actually considering the random thoughts of Jose Canseco. Specifically, what internet blog did he find his theories on? Because there is no way he came up with that lucid a theory by himself. [Title]

Output: Gee Thanks!


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] I'm sure knowing that you will be back in your home state for a game your freshman year is not a downside. Not sure how much of a factor it played, but it is a good point. [Title]

Output: Probably didn't hurt


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] Chris worked for IMG Football after graduating Michigan. He left them for the job he has now. [Title]

Output: Not quite


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] Everyone around here realizes that when Commitapalooza occured last year, the interwebs were all aflutter with talk of Michigan cheating. No one here would believe that, so why do we assume that Ole Miss is? Nkemdiche has a brother on campus that lead the team in tackles. Treadwell has Standifer, who lest we forget, was the person that first brought Treadwell to Michigan. Connor went to high school in the area. And that DT out of JC was an Ole Miss recruit before he had to go to JC. The story on the rest is easy, get them all on campus at the same time, and have the top guys recruit the other top guys. I'm not saying there is no possibility of 'extra benefits' - likely of the female variety - but there are also reasonable explainations for the recruits as well. [Title]

Output: Pot meet Kettle


Input: [Date] 2 years 29 weeks ago [Body] If I remember correctly, the Tremendous primer was for 2014 RB recruits. [Title]

Output: I kninda think if he did not leave his feet he would have made that catch, jumping like he did putthe ball on the palm of his glove instead of the webbing. I am glad he did jump though.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Yeah, I am loving how we are [Body]

Output: Yeah, I am loving how we are seeing the power guys not going for it all but shorting their swing to make sure they make contact and put the ball in play. The announcer of the broadcast I was watching today mentioned Miggy being in 'emergancy stance' not lifting his lead foot and concentrating on making contact. From that point on I paid more attention and noticed the whole lineup was more focued on making contact rather than going for fence.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 2 days ago [Title] No doubt the big bats at the [Body]

Output: No doubt the big bats at the front of the line up havent been as fun to watch as the guys in the back of the lineup(I am a fundementals dork). I'm liking this Gose guy and Kinsler came up huge today. I am just hoping Vmart didnt tweek his knee to badly today.

Output: I've been waiting for someone to start a thread. I really have to thank Denard as I picked him up last week for my fantasy team. I had no decent RB's other than Gio so Denard is in my starting lineup for the forseeable future. I am so happy for the guy to be proving people wrong again.

Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Fair enough guess it goes [Body]

Output: Fair enough guess it goes from normal to trolling on its own, or I just plain out dont understand the mechanics of the board(I don't) Why vent now? Thats the point of my posts when you're agnry you're not really as thoughtfull as you might otherwise be. The post of mine that got hit as trolling was a toss out to stop threads being posted for 4 hours after a loss or atleast heavily moderated to prevent the type of posts we all laugh about in TWIS, now if we laugh at TWIS we're just hypocrites. So fail thread killed funny feel better about ourseves thread(article? blog?)


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Yeah its a dialect called [Body]

Output: Yeah its a dialect called drunkard, do you disagree with the sentament of the post, or just taking potshots on the only thing you can? Your response also proves my point, thank you.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Well I would like to vent [Body]

Output: Well I would like to vent about this thread ruining TWIS for me I will no longer be able to get a laugh at others expense after this epically fail thread 326 posts in less than an hour.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] ok I get it the mods are just [Body]

Output: ok I get it the mods are just as emo as the OMGzombii apocolypse crowd. I retract my last posts on the ground that logic has ceased to exist.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] *whine start: How is this [Body]

Output: *whine start: How is this troling merely saying tomorrow after were sober/less upset would be a better time for a vent thread when were not shooting from the hip *Whine End

Output: I am the chancellor of the Illuminati so go make me a coffee


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Wow they really should [Body]

Output: Wow they really should disable or moderate all new thread posts for 4 hours after a loss give peopl time to get over the butthurt and disappointment. This thread is fail and looks like something that can be found on RCMB. Go to bed, post tomorrow when youve had a chance to contemplate the fact that we are changing to O from what it was, and that going 11-2 last year has completely distorted some peoples logic concering the rethink of a teams playstyle and the time table involved. Next year will be a better benchmark on the direction of the program.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Oh Hai [Body]

Output: Oh Hai TWIS glad you found us.....


Input: [Date] 1 day 18 hours ago [Body] ...if you know what you're looking for. [Title]

Output: It's a beautiful campus year round...


Input: [Date] 1 day 20 hours ago [Body] I have to spend the next eight days in SEC country, and not Florida or Tennessee. I'll be in the heart of it, Baton Rouge and Birmingham among other deathbeds hotbeds. These 17 second clips will probably be the best 17 seconds of my day. [Title]

Output: I'll take it


Input: [Date] 2 days 10 hours ago [Body] I think only PSU has more living alumni than us. Plus people know what Harbaugh has done in previous stops. If we win the B1G this year that means wins over likely top 10 teams, maybe top 5 teams in OSU and MSU. It's not crazy if we have good QB play. [Title]

Output: Combo effect


Input: [Date] 2 days 23 hours ago [Body] He was on Twitter talking about how much RichRod sucked and their losing in the Fiesta Bowl was proof that he was the wrong coach for us. Considering how many eggs we have laid in bowl games over the years, he should've known better than to use a bowl game in the new CFP-system for proof that RR sucked. Bad fit for us? Maybe. But man, it's time to stop analyzing the coaches. Maybe he's better analyzing players. [Title]

Output: He was trolling folks during the Fiesta Bowl also


Input: [Date] 4 days 11 hours ago [Body] Michigan man...gone Ohio...back in Athens, OH. But hopefully Harbaugh is able to grow more Walmart Wolverines in Pasadena, Miami, Dallas and any other places the CFP will be held. [Title]

Output: Great, another childish meme is over.


Input: [Date] 4 days 14 hours ago [Body] You don't win a playoff series with that type of performance. I agree about the Cespedes/Porcello trade, but it only works out if either Cespedes comes back or those guys we got from the Mets pan out. Porcello didn't forget how to pitch suddenly, so I expect him to bounce back next year. Oh, and Dombrowski never could make that Fister trade good. If he would've held onto Robbie Ray, it would be a good deal. But he flipped that into Shane Greene. I still think that was his only series of bad trades here. [Title]

Output: That bullpen is a disaster


Input: [Date] 4 days 14 hours ago [Body] His contract stipulated he be a FA five days after the season. And this team was going nowhere with that bullpen (Did you watch last night's game?). It's better to get something for him now and convince him in the offseason to play in 2016 and beyond in Detroit. And your shitty GM built a team that four straight division winners and two AL pennants. If Verlander, VMart and Cabrera were healthy all season, this team is likely at least five games better in the standings. [Title]

Output: He would've been a FA anyway


Input: [Date] 4 days 14 hours ago [Body] That's the really important question. [Title]

Output: Does this mean no NCAA '17?


Input: [Date] 4 days 14 hours ago [Body] It's the "Detroit/Auburn Hills" tax that the Tigers, Lions and Pistons have to pay. [Title]

Output: He's not coming back unless we overpay


Input: [Date] 4 days 17 hours ago [Body] ...Paging Mr. Lewan. [Title]

Output: Paging Mr. Lewan...


Input: [Date] 4 days 17 hours ago [Body] I would love the opportunity to strike the pose in an OSU endzone. [Title]

Output: On the flip side


Input: [Date] 4 days 18 hours ago [Body] And how is this not OT? [Title]

Output: What does UMHS have to do with a marching band?


Input: [Date] 5 days 13 hours ago [Body] I wish there was a thread about the best double threads ever. [Title]

Output: Maybe best double thread ever


Input: [Date] 5 days 14 hours ago [Body] Your title says something, but the message says nothing. I can't find anything yet on the Detroit papers or ESPN. I want to see what "major league ready" prospects we get. [Title]

Output: Source?


Input: [Date] 5 days 14 hours ago [Body] My wife cares. [Title]

Output: I'm married


Input: [Date] 5 days 14 hours ago [Body] She could run a smoker with the best of them. Fall off the bone ribs and a sticky, sweet bbq sauce that has a little kick. [Title]

Output: My grandma's bbq ribs


Input: [Date] 5 days 14 hours ago [Body] Don't be so wordy next time. [Title]

Output: Well, that was specific


Input: [Date] 5 days 15 hours ago [Body] ...30 minutes before a commitment is announced. Other than that, it's all for watercooler talk. [Title]

Output: Crystal balls are only useful...


Input: [Date] 5 days 15 hours ago [Body] I'd never know where my piss is landing. [Title]

Output: Can't have a toilet same color as my pee


Input: [Date] 5 days 17 hours ago [Body] That should've made sitting on them uncomfortable [Title]

Output: That should've made sitting on them uncomfortable


Input: [Date] 5 days 17 hours ago [Body] My wife had two tix for us through her Allstate internship to see the Cubs at Wrigley in 1999. She got ready late, put us on the wrong trains in Chicago and missed our chance to pick the tix up at Will Call. Oh, and Sammy Sosa hit two homers that day. How she went from girlfriend that day to wife four years later is still a mystery to me. [Title]

Output: Worst sports day
