Input: [Date] 37 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Brians very first statement [Body]

Output: Brians very first statement about 2007 and how it was the "right thing" is my single biggest pet peeve and point of total disagreement with Brian, who I probably 90+ percent agree with. That is saying basically F the seniors. You don't matter to me. You suck and don't possess enough talent to bother trying to win games for you. RR could have gone a MINIMUM of 6-6 running a power based scheme with Threet/Sheridan handing to Brandon Mnor & Company & running the same basic passing scheme's both of those guys had become familiar with practicing under the previous system. We beat Utah, Toledo, Purdue & likely Northwestern but perhaps lose to Wisconsin because we're not able to use the RR stuff to exploit them in that memorable 2nd half. Our defense & O-line were still strong enough to win us those games. The only reason(s) this was not the strategy we took were 1. RR has no idea how to coach any system other than his own(I think this is the reason BTW which is a damn shame for anyone who consider's themselves a top level football coach) or 2. RR was too impatient and thought that he could get away with ending our 30yr bowl streak( in other words he thought Michigan was just like every other school but just bigger) without losing too much support. He was wrong. You can, and i'm sure will, continue to believe this was the right thing to do in 2008 but that does not make it so. If we assume there was a large faction of the M fanbase(20-25%?) that was anti RR from the get go, that means at least 20-25% were Pro RR and that leaves 50-60% that were on the fence waiting to see. By disregarding those seniors in 2008 and ending the bowl streak etc. What did he do to those 50-60%(myself in that group)? I'm saying he sent more of them to the anti camp than to the pro camp and never got them back. He gambled that he would go 7-5 then 9-3, that would have gotten enough of them back to win him a 4th yr. Instead he went 5-7(no bowl again) and 7-5. The fence sitters he lost in 08 were not going to move inot the neutral or pro camps with those results.

Output: My Z West DUX might just have something to say about that.


Input: [Date] 11 hours 25 min ago [Title] As I understand it, Brady's [Body]

Output: As I understand it, Brady's biggest problem is that the NFLPA ceded power to the commisioner to do exactly what he's doing: essentially to be prosecuter, judge, and if Brady doesn't like the decision, the appeals judge also. The players association royally fucked the players over with this aspect of their last labor agreement. Goodell was granted the power by the NFLPA to do exactly what he's doing, and it's not likely to be the concern of the federal courts to interfere.


Input: [Date] 11 hours 52 min ago [Title] We don't know what else is on [Body]

Output: We don't know what else is on that phone, though. Maybe he was cheating on his wife or there's evidence of any number of other activities that could either be embarrassing, illegal, or provide fodder for other civil proceedings or misinterpretations. Once he turns the phone over, no matter who he gives it to, it's no longer under his control.


Input: [Date] 13 hours 53 min ago [Title] As others have pointed out, [Body]

Output: As others have pointed out, if the schedules were equal, Harbaugh comes out ahead. But the schedules aren't equal. Wisconsin does open against Alabama, but should win easily in the rest of the OOC schedule. Then they get the other B1G west teams and their crossover games are with Rutgers and Maryland. Nebraska plays BYU as the one OOC that should be difficult for them (Miami looks to have another mediocre team this year) and do have to play MSU in one of their crossover games, Rutgers in the other. If Michigan were playing either Nebraska's or Wisconsin's schedule, I would have them at 10-11 wins. But Harbaugh doesn't get those schedules. I think the liklihood is that Michigan will have 8 or 9 wins. Nebraska and Wisconsin should be able to each win 9 games.


Input: [Date] 16 hours 56 min ago [Title] Given that this is not the [Body]

Output: Given that this is not the first time something like this has happened at Wisconsin, why in the world does Wisconsin not have someone within the AD's office or football program dedicated to communicating with players to ensure this sort of thing doesn't happen?


Input: [Date] 17 hours 16 min ago [Title] I don't know who these [Body]

Output: I don't know who these academic experts cited in the article are (they are not named), but every college or university I've been at requires a minimum of 20 on ACT tests for students to be deemed minimally college ready. Scores below 20 require remediation: students are not allowed to enroll in college-level courses in that area until they have completed one or more non-credit, remedial courses. That is, of course, for schools that admit students with scores that low. And I can tell you from experience, students who are scoring at 16-17 or lower on ACT tests are at pretty high risk of never graduating. One or two semesters of remedial work at that age rarely makes up for what was missed in the previous 12 years of education. For the hard working, motivated student it can work out, but for most, it's a struggle just to hope to barely pass college level classes.


Input: [Date] 2 days 2 hours ago [Title] The Big 12 has problems, one [Body]

Output: The Big 12 has problems, one of the biggest being Texas. Their Longhorn Network and throwing their weight around is a large part of what drove off Nebraska and Texas A & M. The conference acceptance of West Virginia shows they have no concern for either geography or academics, though several of the original schools aren't exactly academic all stars either (and West Virginia was never a realistic option for the Big Ten because of its dreadful academics). Fans and talking heads around here (I live in Oklahoma City) have been bemoaning that the conference didn't go harder after Louisville instead of West Virginia. There are a contigent of Nebraska fans who want to rejoin the Big 12, but I have to believe a lot of that is motivated by nostalgia for a time when Nebraska football was relevant nationally. As others have pointed out, even if for nothing else, finacially and academically Nebraska is far better off now than what it was in the Big 12. The biggest losses for Nebraska were losing some recruiting strength in Texas and the rivalry with Oklahoma, but Oklahoma already considered Texas its big rival game any way.


Input: [Date] 2 days 11 hours ago [Title] Isn't saying the only thing a [Body]

Output: Isn't saying the only thing a coach did wrong was not to win a lot of games about like saying the only thing the captain did wrong was to sink the ship?


Input: [Date] 3 days 13 hours ago [Title] Summers at a rented cabin on [Body]

Output: Summers at a rented cabin on the north side of Higgins Lake with the family were about as good as it gets. It was a simpler time, and kids were granted quite a bit more autonomy in those days.


Input: [Date] 3 days 18 hours ago [Title] Miami had a pretty decent [Body]

Output: Miami had a pretty decent team that year, too. They went 8-2-1, with a win at then #25 Northwestern, and an average margin of victory against MAC opponents of 21 points. Their only other loss was a 2 point loss in the season opener against Ball State.


Input: [Date] 3 days 21 hours ago [Title] We've had a weak passing game [Body]

Output: We had a weak passing game last year, but it's hard to tell how much of that was due to QB play, WR play, OL play, offensive scheme, or play calling. It definitely was not just due to WR play, so it should be interesting to see what happens this season.


Input: [Date] 4 days 2 hours ago [Title] I think I saw that when I was [Body]

Output: I think I saw that when I was a kid at the Wisconsin Dells.


Input: [Date] 4 days 13 hours ago [Title] My students explained this to [Body]

Output: My students explained this to me a couple of years ago, so this is probably only partly right. Phylicia was annoying everyone one. When she finally made a production of leaving, to everyone's relief, she was told "Bye Phylicia." So, yeah, it's basically a way to tell some annoying twat to fuck off and leave.


Input: [Date] 4 days 13 hours ago [Title] Worst job was substitute [Body]

Output: Worst job was substitute teacher for Flint Public schools for a month or so at the end of undergrad. I had few problems with high school or junior high, but I just could not do elementary school. It was the most stressful job I've ever had. Through grad school I worked summers as a janitor to pay the bills. My wife's grandmother thought I was a janitor till the day she died, since that was what I was doing the summer we got married. She worried about how I would support her grand daughter on a janitor's salary. The work actually wasn't so bad, but the pay and hours sucked, and janitorial staff are mostly either completely ignored as if we didn't exist or treated as though we were an affront to decency. Most of my work was scrubbing and waxing floors, with a majority of the actual work being dragging furniture out of the way at the beginning of the night, then at the end of the shift carefully carrying it back so as not to scratch or mar the new wax. I'm a frugal bastard, so I'm drinking tap water and Miller High Life.


Input: [Date] 5 days 3 hours ago [Title] I agree with the first part [Body]

Output: I agree with the first part of your statement, but York isn't the type to realize anything that suggests he could be failing. He'll always have someone else to blame for his own shortcomings. And unless he fires himself, he's not going anywhere.


Input: [Date] 5 days 3 hours ago [Title] York is the poster child for [Body]

Output: York is the poster child for the entitled rich kid who never had to worry about failing because mommy and daddy were always there with money, jobs, and platitudes to reinforce how special their little snowflake was. If he would just learn to shut his mouth once in awhile and stop with the self aggrandizing statements he wouldn't come across as such a douchebag.


Input: [Date] 5 days 14 hours ago [Title] 1. Michigan football 2. [Body]

Output: 1. Michigan football 2. Michigan basketball 3. Other Michigan sports No other teams really matter that much to me.

Output: Of the 44 players who dress for a game, a minimum of 21 have to be Canadian and a maximum of 20 can be international (read US citizens). http://www.cfl.ca/page/game_rule_ratio


Input: [Date] 1 week 17 hours ago [Title] Thirty years ago in grad [Body]

Output: Thirty years ago in grad school, I got into a huge argument with this girl I had known and dated less than a month. We had just come back from a party and were both drunk. In my drunken state, I decided I had two options: tell her to F off, I never wanted to see her again, or ask her to marry me. I chose the latter. We're still married. I have no idea today what the fight was about but she seems to remember every detail.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] It wasn't just the [Body]

Output: It wasn't just the appearance, the performance sucked, too. It took a few years for the engineering to catch up with the imposed emission standards. And speaking of ugly cars, a buddy of mine bought a used bright yellow AMC Pacer because it was cheap. It was cheap because it was ugly as hell, with the bulbous fishbowl rear end. To make matters worse, his father was convinced all the flexible tubes on and near the carbureter were unneccesary and just there because the government was screwing people over with the new emission standards, so he yanked all the tubes off and threw them away. My buddy had a hell of a time ever getting that thing running again.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] I remember all of those ads, [Body]

Output: I remember all of those ads, except the smoking fingers. For those too young, here's an example of an ad for the x-ray vision glasses: They always hinted you'd be able to see naked ladies, which I'm sure they knew was their primary selling point to 10-14 year old boys. Here's a sea monkeys ad:


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] The ads might very well have [Body]

Output: The ads might very well have disappeared from comic books. I know in the 1960s most of the comic books I read had them. At that time, there was a presumption that comics were read by kids, so the ads were oriented towards them, and most items were under $5.00.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] One of the few things that is [Body]

Output: One of the few things that is better in Oklahoma than in Michigan is that here the DMV is privatized. I have 10 or so Tag Agencies, as they are called here, within a 15 minute drive from home that I can go to. The nearest one, unfortunately, is poorly run, so I don't use it. I've had to wait 5-10 minutes or more there. The one I use most I don't think I've ever had to wait more than 5 minutes except once on the last day of the month I had to wait maybe 6 or 7 minutes.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] I'm not so sure it will be a [Body]

Output: I'm not so sure it will be a horrible thing for the Big Ten Network if cable starts doing everything ala carte. Maybe it's different in the Big Ten footprint, but out here in Oklahoma, the only way for me to get BTN on Cox is to already have some kind of premium package (not just basic cable) and then pay $10 extra per month for a package that includes BTN and a bunch of other channels I don't watch (like ESPNN, ESPNU, and the PAC 12 network. I'm already willing to pay $10/month just for BTN, though I only have it during football season. I'm guessing ESPN gets the lion's share of what Cox parcels out. Granted there would be a lot fewer BTN subscribers, but if BTN were getting $5 / subscriber instead of 25 cents, they could still come out ahead.

Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] I'm guessing no, unless you [Body]

Output: I'm guessing no, unless you were a drunk Nebraska blowhard (most of the Nebraska fans, though were nice to the point it almost seemed creepy). I was there with my youngest daughter (not the Sparty).


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] Memorial Stadium Lincoln, NE: [Body]

Output: Memorial Stadium Lincoln, NE: the good, the bad, and the ugly. The good: the general admission seats they added two years ago. Good seats and easy access to exits and amenities. The bad: some of the older bleachers. I sat in these for the game where Denard was injured. The rest of the game is blocked from my memory. Narrow stairs up 60-70 rows or more to get to seats really suck. The ugly: the stadium was patterned after OSU's. If you ever do get a chance to go there, just be careful where you sit, and make sure you try the runza. It's very similar to a pasty. Tastes good and helps keep your hands warm on a cold night.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] There's an interesting story [Body]

Output: There's an interesting story from a few days ago about the connection between Harbaugh and Hill. Harbaugh recruited Hill to Stanford and Hill even signed a National Letter of Intent, but Harbaugh went to the NFL, Hill went on an LDS mission, and they went their separate ways. “I’m very excited to go to Michigan and play in that venue, to play coach Harbaugh,” Hill said at BYU's media day in June. “He and I have exchanged a few text messages since he accepted the job. We’ve talked about it. I’m very excited about it … I would have never imagined this. I sent him a text and said, ‘It’s not ideal, it’s not like we planned, but I’m grateful and super-excited to finally be on the same field as you.’ His response was, ‘I’m not looking forward to playing you, my friend'.” http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865632727/BYUs-Taysom-Hill-looking-forward-to-game-against-Jim-Harbaugh-who-once-recruited-him.html?pg=all


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Body] He knew the time to go, had a good succession plan in place that had qualified coaches and established a program identity / core values and never distracted from The Team. This is why I will always talk about Bo in only the most reverential terms, and most younger Michigan fans today will not understand why Bo was held this way "since he, you know, never won a national title". [Title]

Output: This is why Bo is so revered


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] That's when population control will oh so hip, and you'll have to get a license to have children, but then you'll also probably have to prove you're genetically worthy to have kids. SO don't worry, all the less qualified folks will just be bred out so that only the truly worthy people will be able to propagate. And then since there'll be less people, think of the less resources we'll use, so then we can arrest global warming, and we won't ever have to leave our house because the Googazonber.com corporation will bring me everything I need via robot drone and I won't have to deal with *people*, 'cause I mean who likes waiting in line with smelly people, or people that don't have the exact same opinion I do on everything from morality to dress to hair style to.... The dismissive attitude so many people have nowadays toward the erosion of personal freedom and individual responsibility is really scary, all under the name of progress/safety/ease of life. Life is hard, life has tragedy,but through all that there's great pride and personal fulfillment available by overcoming these things. [Title]

Output: But hey!


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] I'm growing more convinced I'm going to end up like Dennis Leary's character, eating rat cheeseburgers and purposefully maintaining a '79 El Camino in an underground cabal. [Title]

Output: You mean like Demolition Man?


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] but Judge Smails had it right, "The world needs ditch diggers too" I know no politics, but I thought this was a point that Charles Krauthammer brought out on a Fox News show about 6-8 months that really stuck with me, basically a lot of our political elite talk about "new economies" and getting more "green jobs" like computer programmers at google and what not.. but not everybody is capable of the high tech jobs or working finance at Goldman Sachs. That's not denegrating their work or value- you can have respect and pride in a manual labor job. That's what made the auto industry great IMO, sure it was tough manual labor on the line and it didn't take a lot of "skill" to turn a wrench, but you were building something and took pride in the end product. Culturally, we have over time de-valued the worth and "pride of ownership" in labor intensive fields, but there's value and moral good-i-tude in keeping productive and working hard. That translates into a society that then can overcome the really big challenges like financial hardship and wars and such. Unfortunately, you build in a mentality that everything's hard and we need automation to do some aspect of everything in our life, and then what? How does the human respond? I'm not saying we need to go back to a 1940's level of industrial technology, but the constant drive to automate everything is I think robbing humanity of some key maturation and resiliency aspects,and almost creating a permanent underclass of drones. But of course, automated cars theoretically can save lives, so "won't someone think about the CHILDREN???" [Title]

Output: Everybody laughs at the line


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] a couple years ago and managed to get a 'Space Bitches Space" in 24 month size. It is on kid #2 and will be saved for kid #3. We also sport the toddler sized Worst State Ever shirt and Cue the Muppets shirt. Works for both boys and girls. [Title]

Output: I badgered the MGoBlog staff


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Body] 1) M-den has onesies for boys that are light blue and have a silk screened maize n blue tie with a block M on it. Got it for my son and avoided having to dress him in crappy Baby Gap formal wear for months when we'd go to church or a party or something. 2) A kids M book. You're going to be reading to him at night for a long time, and while the writing style of Jim Brandstatter is good to put dad to sleep, not so much for baby moving into toddler. I always liked the "Michigan 101" board book at M-Den and other places on campus. It's got pages dedicated to different things abotu campus (including a page on the sports teams) and then the back two pages are the complete words (include preambles) to both The Victors and Maize and Blue. Great lullabys even if you suck at singing. And you'll sing, trust me. [Title]

Output: Two items


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] When they got into their spat with Direct TV, DirecTV went out and put "Weather Nation" on their network instead. Very no-frills weather forecasting and conditions channel and no superfluous / politically themed programming like Weather Channel was venturing into. When Weather Channel finally made their peace with DirecTV, Weather Nation had gained enough market share that people simply didn't worry about watching Weather Channel anymore. I know in our house, our smartphones are source #1 for weather, but then after that is local Dayton digital broadcast weather HD station, then Weather Nation. Weather Channel doesn't even register for me anymore. The analogy for ESPN for me would be that if someone like FoxSports 1 focused on just presenting the sports (both live content of major leagues and news-based recap shows), they'd take away market share from the STEPHEN A. SMITH led ESPN. But FS1 has gone down the "we're going to be ENTERTAINING" road, and as such have already probably passed the point of no return. [Title]

Output: Add'l aspect to Weather Channel's downturn

Output: Bailey


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Body] He'll get plenty of minutes at the 2, there's a black hole of gravitational mass down low in Okafor/Noel/Embiid to suck down defenders and get space to shoot, 'Ish' is a servicable distributor, and Nik's defensive liabilities can be mitigated by the wealth of big men downlow to be rim protectors. Will he be an All-star? probably not, but if he's going to be a servicable pro, he'll be in the right situation to showcase it the next couple year. Plus have you seen the Atlantic division??? I'm not sold on Toronto as a world-destroying "new NBA" team, the Knicks and Nets are going to be waterboard-torture bad, and Boston still has minimal talent (but double + coaching). I could actually see Philly making a run at finishing 2nd in the division next year. Now with Stauskas and the big-men, I'd love to see the Sixers get a veteran penetrate-but-pass-first point guard like Professor Andre Miller or, gulp, the Sixers actually using some of those stockpiled assets to get Ty Lawson from Denver. [Title]

Output: Great situation for Nik


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Troy Athens '96. Always a .500 team except for an occasional blip every 3 to 4 years where we'd win 7 and come within a game of winning the league, and then lose to Troy High. My senior year, we thought we had a chance with a strong senior class and a junior QB who was groomed to be a golden boy since he was in 7th grade, and we had a run, but didn't go very far (I think we lost in the 1st rd of the state playoffs by a lot). On the other hand we were a "futbol" powerhouse, and that was what most of us who didn't play football did, tailgate for soccer. (I was a varsity baseball only guy) [Title]

Output: No

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Body] So our Bball roster for next year is (apologies for using 80's era position names): WITH BATTLE: PG- Walton, Albrecht SG- Battle, MAAR SF- Levert, Dawkins, Dun Robinson PF- Irvin, Chapman / Wilson / Wagner C- Doyle / Donnel / Wilson W/O BATTLE: PG- Walton, Albrecht SG- Levert, MAAR / incoming FR? SF- Irvin, Dawkins, Dun Robinson PF- Chapman / Wagner / Wilson C- Doyle / Donnel / Wilson Is this even remotely accurate? [Title]

Output: Never forget


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Body] we still might be the conference favorite at this point. Minnesota needs to find a replacement for Wilcox and the defense depth they lost, PSU is still building talent, MSU is a tire fire besides goalie, Wiscy's going to be extremely young with a new goalie, and Ohio St is Ohio St. Welcome to the CHA circa 1999! [Title]

Output: The worst part is


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Body] We'll have a winning record, both OOC and within B1G play, but with the lack of OOC strength and the B1G likely to be down again this year, the conference will be a 1 bid league with the tourney champ getting the bid. If we had a stronger OOC schedule with maybe 1-2 less wins, we might be in a better position for an at-large, but in reality without a stronger B1G, we're going to be 1-bid conference territory for a while. [Title]

Output: We're going to be in the same boat as last year


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I think his swing changes the last 5 years were an *attempt* to protect his right knee without actually doing anything to protect it, and subsequently putting more stress on his back which is manifesting itself now. I think Foley was a huge mistake, and his current "coach" is more of a yes man than anything else. I really believe if he went back to Harmon honestly and not because he thought it was the right PR move, Harmon could help him get back to a natural motion that fits with his body-- that's always the least stressful swing is letting your body tell you what it can do instead of forcing your limbs to do something their not naturally inclined to do. Now what that may look like at the end of the day is a Tiger who will not be able to drive 300+ yds with ultra stiff shaft steel irons, and that may not fit the persona of what Tiger wants to be-- the ultimate golf alpha dog-- but as is pointed out below, the delta in swing yardage is so small nowadays relatively, it's more important to play target golf and be solid around the greens and putting. With Tiger's natural talent, I still think he could be today a Nick Faldo in his prime type of player, but I don't think his ego will allow it. [Title]

Output: Yes but


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Body] It's similar to why McGwire took the PED's. It wasn't necessarily that he was intentionally bulking up, but with his original frame, the PED's helped him recover from injuries and build muscle mass to cover up for degredation in his tendons. I'm guessing that if its true that Tiger took PED's, it was as much to cover up for injuries as it was to build muscle mass. Although based on some of the stories I read as well, Ol' Eldrick had a mighty big chip on his shoulder that he wanted to be considered as much of an athlete as the team sports guys; "getting big" might have been the process his fulfilled that mental checkmark. [Title]

Output: This


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Body] This is why Butch Harmon is such a good golf coach. I've been reading a bunch of Golf Magazine, Golf Digest, etc the past 5 years and pretty much everybody is in agreement that Harmon's "methods" basically involve taking your natural swings and then tweaking it. Contrast that to Sean Foley and others who want to completely remake your swing in their mold of what a good golf swing should look like. I've read and listened to lots of interviews that what Butch did with Tiger was just to take his God given talent and refine it a little, take the hitches out, etc. It's when Tiger started getting too smart for his own good and started believing in every new technique / training regimine / psuedo-scientific advance that his and Harmon's relationship fell out. I personally think there's a huge hubris factor as well-- he never recovered from the divorce / scandal psychologically and his continued internal denial that he really didn't do anything wrong has rotted his karma to the core. He needs a full on Hollywood movie like bottoming out / reawakening of himself to really recapture his natural talent. He is the real life Roy Hobbs. I'm only disappointed that I think he's going to find that around age 50, and he'll put together one Nicklaus in '86 like tournament, but it'll be too late to really challenge Jack's record. For the amateur golfers out there, this relates to you in the best possible way. If you want to really improve your golf game, find a coach that doesn't say he has to remake your swing. Most times, golfers can get improvement to the point where they'e shooting below bogey golf (breaking 90, threatening 80 which means at that pointyou can play pretty much any course and have fun) just by tweaking your natural motion. A coach that's willing to work with you instead of remake you in his image is more invested in your improvement than building his own ego. [Title]

Output: Yes. This.

Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Imagine in a classic LeCarre type novel if the bad guy spy had the financial records of every employee in targeted agencies, who worked in what weapons program office, budgetary office, etc. You now have increased your success percentage of recruiting assets by an innumerable amount because you as the recruiter now know who makes how much money, who's got significant debt, who's been divorced mulitple times, who had psychological evuations, what criminal history exists, etc. These are things that in a classical sense takes months to develop on a single individual. Now you have that type of data in a sortable format for every federal employee, available at however fast your database software runs. [Title]

Output: You sir have nailed it


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Body] "The intelligence community didn't connect the dots" line? Even the increased risk of being identified as a spy will reduce the desire to conduct collection opportunities in a nation with human sources and reduce the opportunities for overt collection opportunities through the delay / decline to issue visas, permits, etc. Less information means less data means less dots, to relate to my statement at the front of this post. [Title]

Output: Remember that whole


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Body] From a national security perspective since Snowden. There are a lot of protected identities at risk now within federal service, and I'm telling my guys in my building to basically consider that they now exist in a database in potentially adversarial nation(s) with enough detail to be detained as a spy upon entry. And I work in an overt national security entity. I'm worried about guys who have kept their affiliation with national security as a contractor, researcher, academic, etc secret. [Title]

It's a good career, you help your country, and after your repaymenrt service time (typically less than 10 total) you have an excellent resume to go get a higher paying contractor job. And these are civilian jobs not uniformed military. For one example that benefits folks going into the intelligence career field, see the Pat Robertson Intelligence Scholars Program. [Title]

Output: There's a lot of opporunities


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Body] He was one of the big regional stars that was able to catapult to national level status when the territory model was basically killed by WWF and the consolidation of the NWA into the WCW. Dusty had legendary long standing feuds against Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen in the NWA / WCW era, and then even when purposefullly given a horrible gimmick by VInce McMahon during his late career WWF run became a fan favorite in that organization. In addition to using excessive Southern "common man" slang in his promos, dancing in the ring, extreme showmanship with all his moves, and being one of the first southern promoters to really push African American wrestlers, Dusty was most famous for popularizing the "Dusty Finish". This was when as the lead booker and wrestler in his NWA territory, if Dusty didn't have the title and was scheduled in the main event against a heel champ, the heel champ would win by disqualification, thereby extending the feud for another show, keeping Dusty believable as a babyface contender, and putting more heat on the heel. More recent fans to wrestling will know Dusty as father to Dustin Runnels (aka "Golddust") and Cody Rhodes (aka "Stardust"), but its important to know that Dusty was one of the giants in the 1970's / 80's wrestling scene and if you went into the South, was basically as popular as Hulk Hogan. Some wrestling historians have commented that The Rock's inital "People's Champion" shtick in the WWE was inspired by Dusty Rhodes's character in that The Rock was essentially the evil mirror universe version of Dusty. [Title]

Output: Dusty was one of the modern day wrestling legends

Input: [Date] 3 years 7 weeks ago [Title] I would amend your post only [Body]

Output: I would amend your post only in saying that USC Alumni are much more like U-M Alumni. Fanbases are another story. USC home games at the Coliseum are a gauntlet for opposing fanbases, and a lot of the tailgaters don't mind getting in the face and taunting senior citizens who happen to wear the wrong colors. I've seen this firsthand, multiple times.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Michigan should aim to be the best public school in the nation. I think UVA and UCLA have passed us in recent rankings and we've dropped to page 2 on USNews (which like it or not holds clout over hs seniors). Over 6,000 students is HUGE; it was a record 5,000 when I enrolled a decade ago and the dorms were crowded. President Schlissel, cut class sizes and return Michigan to its rightful perch as the best public Ivy in the nation. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Title] Much Appreciation and Understanding [Body]

Output: I discovered this blog more than 5 years ago and it has become a standard part of my day. What Brian and the rest have developed and delivered is unique among any blogs, sports or otherwise, that I have encountered. Their efforts are very much admired and appreciated. Brian's recent frustration is understandable. This season has altered the blog significantly. The overwhelming amount of commentors who choose to share their opinion on any and everything has cluttered the site and made it utterly depressing and nearly pointless to read. In the past, there was an unspoken understanding that any posts and comments should add value to the discussion - either with information or well thought opinion. Now, it's just off-the-top, emotion-fueled drivel, and very angry, depressing drivel at that. As you age, you begin to understand the long-view of situations in life, and learn to accept the immediate moments and not overreact. There are far too many posters who are interested in being heard and sharing their immediate emotion in every moment. In the past MGoBlog - this immediacy only happened during the Live Blog, not in the forums. Now, all forums are mini-live blogs - repeditive, emotional, caught in the moment with no thought or perspective. Change needs to happen. Only Brian can decide what it will be. Charge us. I will gladly pay. Reintroduce the point system. I will gladly participate. Whatever it takes to allow the valuable part of this blog to return to its higher position. I look forward. Go Brian and Go Blue.


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Title] My Cool Story, Bro! [Body]

Output: FGCU has been my adopted #2 for five years now. So much so, that my family and I travelled on the team charter to and from Philadelphia last weekend. Their coach told me before the pairings were announced that he hoped to play Georgetwon in Philly, because it could become a home game for FGCU if they stayed close. In seven days, this group of kids and their confident coach have captured the nation's attention. Now, I have to try to figure out how to raise a million dollars to keep him here. All suggestions welcome.

Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Love Denard but [Body]

Output: AC was a three-time All American and generally considered one of (if not the) best college Wrs of the 80's. The electricity he brought to the Big House equalled what Shoelace has given us these past four years. Denard joins the list of my all-time favorites but he doesn't quite reach the rarefied air that AC did.


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Correct you are [Body]

Output: Dallas Crawford, Watkins teammate, was a near lock to head here and that opened up an opportunity for us to get Sammy, but it was never really more than a passing fancy.


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Well said, Outsider [Body]

Output: I think we all have to take the larger view. Our lines performed much better than we assumed, which gives reason for confidence heading into the B1G. Denard will come back from this. We'll be fine.

Where a lot of them come from getting your license suspended is no big deal and even normal so it continues.

(Insert Dick Vitale ARE YOU SERIOUS?!) I guess I should have said "Shafted" or "Hosed" instead of what I wrote down... On topic though... This is a really bad deal for both teams since they essentially broke no written rules. It is especially bad for the Redskins who were counting on Free Agency to re-build. (Not with old guys this time.) They may not have made the RGIII deal if they knew this was coming down the pike, although some sources say they knew per WJFK in DC. [Title]

Output: Oh noooooes the bar here


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Yea... I'm a little bit surprised by the reaction here... moving up to 2 to select RGIII has pretty much been the Redskins top scenario since the BCS. But then again I probably listen to way more DC sports talk than most. I am shocked by the # of Roll Damn Tide type responses "typical Snyder" and whatnot. Going after young talent to rebuild around is basically the antithesis of signing aging neon deion and bruce smith. Also the kid might be Akili Smith but he's far from Ryan Leaf. Anyone who's heard even one interview knows his character is outstanding. Pretty much a lot of wrong wrong wrong here. [Title]

Output: Yea... I'm a little bit

Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Body] As a lifelong redskins fan... laugh it up. I'm happy about the deal and most in Washington were hoping this happened. We haven't had a franchise QB since Sonny or Slingin Sammy Baugh. I'm looking forward to RGIII giving a speech just like Peyton just did in 2027. Then maybe the Lions can sign him. [Title]

Output: As a lifelong redskins fan...

Output: Sorry but if a woman jumps in


Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Body] It's a dumb rule. Players should be allowed to act in the interest of their team during the recruiting process. The kids get to hang out with them on visits so why are tweets out of bounds? [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 21 weeks ago [Body] FWIW Long hair don't care has been a saying in the community for a long time which is where Wayne and others got it from Also that Urban Dictionary entry is wrong... long hair don't care refers to the person WITH the hair, and their lack of inhibition or regard. Lil Wayne is on record as liking women with long hair. "I like a long-haired thick red bone Open up her lips and filet mignon... that p*ssy" [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] I confirmed that with his dad [Body]

Output: I confirmed that with his dad today. His dad said as far as he understands he'll be able to play right away, rather than redshirting. He may redshirt anyway because he's a freshman, but they think he'll have instant eligibility.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] Kalis actually blamed himself [Body]

Output: Kalis actually blamed himself for the injury. He said he only drove his guy six yards off the ball and Orlosky caught up to him.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] Kalis said via text that he [Body]

Output: Kalis said via text that he just tweaked his knee, his teammate Tyler Orlosky rolled up on him while he was driving his guy. He said he'll be back in a few days.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] Thank you, it was cool to see [Body]

Output: Thank you, it was cool to see the ultrasound today. I think some people thought we had the baby today but it was just the anatomy ultrasound.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] From whatCaleb Stacey and his [Body]

Output: From whatCaleb Stacey and his coaches have told me I think he will end up at center. He's already been working at center this summer.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] He's also really smart. He [Body]

Output: He's also really smart. He would be one of my top choices if I could pick an offensive lineman in this class.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] I don't know who reported [Body]

Output: I don't know who reported that but that was never the case. Garnett actually told me early on that he thought Zach was looking for different things in a school than he was. They were never a package deal. Garnett said to me that it would be cool if they ended up at the same place, but didn't think it would happen.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] I wouldn't argue with that. [Body]

Output: I wouldn't argue with that.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] I confirmed that with him. [Body]

Output: I confirmed that with him.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] Not too cryptic though, I [Body]

Output: Not too cryptic though, I just think Michigan has a chance. He told me a few things off the record so we'll see. He is still planning to visit for the ND game.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] He told me that Penn State is [Body]

Output: He told me that Penn State is in there too, but ya know, the third team in a top two probably isn't in great shape. I know there have been rumors about Cal, but don't discount Michigan here.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] Sorry you can't hear me very [Body]

Output: Sorry you can't hear me very well on the video, Jake had the microphone. I also missed one of his best catches during practice. He had a 30 yard over the shoulder catch and I was busy gabbing with his dad on the sidelines. I should have that catch and more highlights soon though.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] Just commenting for the Tom [Body]

Output: Just commenting for the Tom tab.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] And just to add, even if [Body]

Output: And just to add, even if something were to happen with Terry (not implying anything), it's my understanding that they would look to fill that spot with another corner. It has more to do with the current roster. Obviously that can change, especially if the numbers don't add up, but that's the thinking right now.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] I spoke with him earlier [Body]

Output: I spoke with him earlier today, I'll have his quotes in the Weekly Update on Monday.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] No, just defense for now. [Body]

Output: No, just defense for now.

Output: Eastern Michigan was a planned stop on the trip for his teammates.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] The Diamond's were taking [Body]

Output: Mrs. Diamond was taking Jordan's teammates around with Jordan to different schools and they recently stopped by Eastern for his teammates. It's right next door so they probably stopped by to say hi to Chris. There's nothing wrong with Bryant, he's just good friends with the Diamond family.


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] No, I don't think so. They're [Body]

Output: No, I don't think so. They're in to check on Chris Bryant.


Input: [Date] 3 years 52 weeks ago [Title] I've said multiple times that [Body]

Output: I've said multiple times that this has nothing to do with Terry. They want another corner in addition to Terry and Anthony. This also isn't because Standifer projects to safety. They want another corner.


Input: [Date] 3 years 52 weeks ago [Title] I'm supposed to call him [Body]

Output: I'm supposed to call him tonight.


Input: [Date] 3 years 52 weeks ago [Title] No, I don't think he meant [Body]

Output: No, I don't think he meant fans calling. I'm sure he meant analysts calling to ask if he committed, or if he's committing soon.


Input: [Date] 3 years 52 weeks ago [Title] Yeah, he has interest in [Body]

Output: Yeah, he has interest in Michigan. I didn't get to talk to him last night though. I was out there for their practice but it started raining pretty hard and there was lightning right above us so everyone scattered pretty quickly. It's monsoon season here right now.


Input: [Date] 3 years 52 weeks ago [Title] Just a FWIW, his coaches are [Body]

Output: Just a FWIW, his coaches are pro Big Ten guys too. They like Michigan and the Big Ten teams.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 day ago [Title] I don't know why everyone is [Body]

Output: I don't know why everyone is debating what this decision has to do with. Armani said in the interview why they want another corner. That's why, not because of anything that has to do with Standifer or Richardson.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 day ago [Title] There is potential for some [Body]

Output: There is potential for some more names to come in the picture I suppose. I know they really like Armani, but if they're looking for an elite corner they will probably talk to a few prospects.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 day ago [Title] He was very clear on the [Body]

Output: He was very clear on the phone that they want him for defense.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 day ago [Title] It's the second post on the [Body]

Output: It's the second post on the front page. Unless I'm missing your sarcasm font.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 day ago [Title] There's a big difference [Body]

Output: There's a big difference between the two you're talking about. Sione Houma is 5 foot 11, 210 pounds where as Wyatt has about 4 inches and almost 40 pounds on him. Wyatt is also only 15 years old, where Sione is probably around 17.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 day ago [Title] He's been told running back. [Body]

Output: He's been told running back. I think he can do a bit of everything and could hold his own as a running back so it makes sense.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 days ago [Title] Or like this..... [Body]

Output: Or like this.....


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 days ago [Title] The 'Y' is more pronounced [Body]

Output: The 'Y' is more pronounced than the 'J'. It's more Yay-who, if you said it that way it would sound right.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 days ago [Title] Also if you notice in the [Body]

Output: Also if you notice in the interview he says the coaches told him they'll take two receivers.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 days ago [Title] His first name is pronounced [Body]

Output: His first name is pronounced kind of like yay-who with somewhat of a 'J' mixed in, if that makes sense.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 days ago [Title] Just to sum up what the [Body]

Output: Just to sum up what the Elmers are looking for, they're looking for the right school for Steven. They want to make sure the other stuff outside of the football program is right for him, that's why I say school. They are very interested in Michigan, and given the proximity to home have been able to visit a little more frequently. They also have interest in other programs though like Wisconsin and Notre Dame, which they will be visiting this weekend. They'll also make it out to Lansing for a Michigan State game. They're willing to do what it takes to make sure Steven finds the right fit and the right place for him. They ultimately want him to be comfortable and to feel like he's a part of his environment. They're ok with it if it takes awhile, because they want to get it right.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 days ago [Title] Steven is very capable of [Body]

Output: Steven is very capable of doing an interview, and I'll eventually have him talk about everything. I'm the one that contacts Mr. Elmer so it's me that's putting him on here. It's not like he asks to do the interview, it's my choice.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Title] I guess so, It's been a long [Body]

Output: I guess so, It's been a long day. I have been sitting at my computer all day and I recently broke my computer chair. My replacement is a bar stool.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Title] Were you? [Body]

Output: Were you?


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Title] I'll get a full update from [Body]

Output: I'll get a full update from him this week. We exchanged texts today, which is when he told me he wasn't committing.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Title] Someone at the BBQ sent me a [Body]

Output: Someone at the BBQ sent me a text that said Coach Hoke gave an emotional speech after watching a highlight video from the past and present. It got the kids and families all fired up apparently.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Title] ha, I just saw what you [Body]

Output: ha, I just saw what you meant. This has been a long day, long weekend. I've made a lot of mistakes today.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Title] I changed it for you. [Body]

Output: I changed it for you.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Title] Just another update. Like I [Body]

Output: Just another update. Like I said none of this is 100%, but don't be surprised if Wormley waits to make his decision at a later date.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Title] And if it doesn't happen [Body]

Output: And if it doesn't happen today it doesn't mean it's not happening ever. Just have to see what ends up going down.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Title] I don't think they'll get [Body]

Output: I don't think they'll get offered today either, but I'm not sure. Reschke was just offered by MSU, so there's a chance they might offer too. I'm under the impression it's more meet and greet as well. I wouldn't be surprised if they did throw Reschke an offer out afterwards though.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Title] I normally don't do that, but [Body]

Output: I normally don't do that, but it's been all over the board that these guys specifically are thinking about doing it, so there's no sense in hiding it. I'm not protecting them from anything, and I said it might happen it might not so it's not a 100% confirmation either way.


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 days ago [Title] Also, just to be clear the [Body]

Output: Also, just to be clear the word potential is big with all of this. I'm not saying anything's 100%, there's potential.


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 days ago [Title] There' s potential for more [Body]

Output: There' s potential for more than this one. I told Ondre I wouldn't say anything a few days ago, but that's out there.


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 days ago [Title] He's obviously not coming to [Body]

Output: He's obviously not coming to the BBQ now. I said this on Twitter, this is a good get for them, but Michigan has a chance to get a good one soon too.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] Like others have said [Body]

Output: Like others have said Michigan is recruiting him as a DB.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] I wanted to post this in the [Body]

Output: I wanted to post this in the comments because it's separate from the OP, but I do think there's potential for this weekend to get interesting. By separate I mean I'm not implying anything just about Dymonte.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] Yes, I swear I didn't spell [Body]

Output: Yes, I swear I didn't spell it that way. I don't know what happened.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] Yes, he'll come out with a [Body]

Output: Yes, he'll come out with a top list soon. It will probably be a top five, could be a top three. I don't think he knows what he wants to come out with yet.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] I really think this visit [Body]

Output: I really think this visit helped out Michigan a lot. He has some top schools that he has in his head, but he's going to talk to his football coach about everything and come out with that very soon.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] My Weekly Update is on the [Body]

Output: My Weekly Update is on the front page still, just a few posts down. In the future you can see all of my diaries here: http://mgoblog.com/diaries/tomvh


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] As I reported in the Weekly [Body]

Output: As I reported in the Weekly Update he likely won't be leaving until tomorrow.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] Yes, I have. He's on the [Body]

Output: Yes, I have. He's on the visitor list.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] Obviously it's going to help [Body]

Output: Obviously it's going to help their case, but I still think there's a chance. We'll see what he's saying after the BBQ. I know he wants a chance to play early, so that's still a factor for him. Don't forget too that he's friends with Kyle Kalis, so that's helping Michigan as well.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] Yes, sorry I didn't move him [Body]

Output: Yes, sorry I didn't move him up. I confirmed with him that he'll be there.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] Unfortunately I'm not at the [Body]

Output: Unfortunately I'm not at the event, so I'll have to wait to get a hold of him.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] No, he's been there since [Body]

Output: No, he's been there since June so this isn't the first they're hearing about it, obviously. The plan stays the same. One more OL if he's one of the top guys.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] I was told that Glasgow did [Body]

Output: I was told that Glasgow did switch because of a combination of the Tressel situation and not knowing what the NCAA will give OSU with their punishment.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] No, he's a preferred walk on [Body]

Output: No, he's a preferred walk on so he doesn't take up a scholarship, which is nice. I have also heard that both Glasgow and Yerden are doing very well. Yerden is up to 325 right now and has some potential.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] So just to make sure [Body]

Output: So just to make sure everyone's on the same page, Glasgow is now a preferred walk on for Michigan instead of Ohio State. Michigan also took preferred walk on OL Gary Yerden as well. If you remember Yerden was a weight lifter in high school.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] Thank you. Apparently we have [Body]

Output: Thank you. Apparently we have to wait two more weeks to find out the gender, but everything else checked out fine.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] I talked to him earlier in [Body]

Output: I talked to him earlier in the week, just saving it for the Weekly Update [I have to save some stuff so I have content for Monday]. Nothing too groundbreaking yet, he wants to visit. We'll see what happens.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] Devin Funchess sent me a text [Body]

Output: Devin Funchess sent me a text saying that his teammate WR Aaron Burbridge will be at the BBQ.

Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] No, he'll be at the Notre [Body]

Output: No, he'll be at the Notre Dame game. No need for him to come out for the BBQ.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Dwayne Stanford said no today [Body]

Output: Dwayne Stanford said no today via text. If that changes I'll let you know.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] I didn't ask him this time [Body]

Output: I didn't ask him this time but I know it was Illinois and Boston College. I know Tennessee just offered, so that might change things.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Chris Wormley told me via [Body]

Output: Chris Wormley told me via text that he'll be there.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] 2013 Dymonte Thomas says he [Body]

Output: 2013 Dymonte Thomas says he doesn't think he'll be there. Alden Hill also said he won't be there, as I've said before I don't think he'll end up picking Michigan. As of now they're out of his top two.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Blake Bars has two a days, so [Body]

Output: Blake Bars has two a days, so he can't miss that.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] I have a text out to him and [Body]

Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Shane is on the confirmed yes [Body]

Output: Shane is on the confirmed yes list.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] I'll check with him. Last I [Body]

Output: I'll check with him. Last I had heard from him is that he'll likely stay in the south. He did tell me that he likes Michigan, but I still wouldn't get your hopes up yet.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] I just haven't talked to him [Body]

Output: I just haven't talked to him yet. Like I said in the beginning of the post this is just who I've confirmed so far and the list will keep growing.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] It was a conservative guess. [Body]

Output: It was a conservative guess. I only put it in that range because I don't know how some prospects could get re-ranked or where some of the top recruits will commit to at other schools. I said in the article it was just for fun, it could eventually be higher than that I just have no way of predicting what happens where. It was just to give people that were asking about it a look at the potential.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] Have him go to ShowcaseU.com. [Body]

Output: Have him go to ShowcaseU.com. Chad Durbin and Jake Chapman own it, they're both good guys. They help baseball prospects get noticed.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] No, and I hope nobody takes [Body]

Output: No, and I hope nobody takes it that way or says that I'm saying that. I'm saying the coaches don't want them to take visits.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] These type of visits aren't [Body]

Output: These type of visits aren't viewed fondly by the coaching staff. They won't happen if they're still committed. That goes for anyone, not just these two. Also, I'll go ahead and answer the next question that's about to come. No, I didn't mean anything by saying if they're still committed, nothing to worry about as of now.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] I don't consider myself an [Body]

Output: I don't consider myself an evaluator of talent. There's probably a lot of people on this board better at that than I am. If you want my opinion though, I don't think he and Stanford are comparable. Stanford is a 6'5" jump ball receiver. Judging by Monty's film he's used a lot differently than Stanford is. He's in the wildcat, taking direct snaps, coming across from the slot, he's taking plays across the field, etc. I like his film, though. I think he's versatile and big enough that he could fill a few different spots and be a different kind of threat than Stanford. Doesn't look like he has awesome speed, but good enough, good hands, a couple plays he gets dirty and blocks downfield. That's great to see for a receiver in high school. Looks like he can make a play after the catch too, so I really like the offer. I think he would fit in well with the offense.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] He has to talk over the visit [Body]

Output: He has to talk over the visit with his parents, but he said he's pretty sure they will be able to make it up for that.


Input: [Date] 4 years 2 weeks ago [Title] I was surprised too. I think [Body]

Output: I was surprised too. I think he has a good idea of who he's really evaluating he just doesn't want to come out with that to the public yet.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] As of right now I don't think [Body]

Output: As of right now I don't think it's a big deal. Royce loves Michigan, so if he wants to take a few visits that's not up to anyone else but the coaches to tell him not to. That's part of why I haven't really mentioned it, I don't think it's a huge deal right now. They weren't supposed to decide this early anyways, so they probably do want to see other places.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] No affiliation, just easier [Body]

Output: No affiliation, just easier for consistency with what I say since MGoBlog doesn't have a ranking system.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] They might still take a QB, [Body]

Output: They might still take a QB, this was more for a look at what's happening right now with star rankings and where the class would project. A lot of things could be different around signing day, we'll just have to wait and see.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] You guys are better at stats [Body]

Output: You guys are better at stats and numbers than I am, so if you see something that doesn't make sense let me know. This is just meant to be taken lightly, like I said in the post it's impossible to predict because of all the factors that go in.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Elmer will be at the BBQ, I [Body]

Output: Elmer will be at the BBQ, I just can't edit my post right now in my phone.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] The bowl bam is still an [Body]

Output: The bowl bam is still an issue, but what I meant by it not being the main issue is that other factors are creeping in his mind. Like I said he wants to play, that's one of them. So the concern about bowl bans is still there.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Michigan is still very [Body]

Output: Michigan is still very interested in Bisnowaty, too.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Also, to be clear, Michigan [Body]

Output: Also, to be clear, Michigan has not stopped recruiting Jordan. His mom just has some concerns, big difference.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Sorry about the formatting. [Body]

Output: Sorry about the formatting. I'm on my phone because I can't login through my computer or the app.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] I added Missouri WR Jehu [Body]

Output: I added Missouri WR Jehu Chesson (6'3", 182 lbs, 3 Star) to the list. He said he believes he'll be there.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Kalis has already been [Body]

Output: Kalis has already been talking to the Michigan commitments, I think he's pretty locked in at this point. Obviously anything can change, but I don't foresee that happening.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] It wasn't meant to be read [Body]

Output: It wasn't meant to be read that way. He was hanging out with everyone, obviously.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] If you remember awhile back [Body]

Output: If you remember awhile back when Michigan was somewhat recruiting his teammates. I had asked Kyle if he had interest in Michigan, if he would listen to the coaches if they were to try to recruit him, and if he would visit if his teammates did. He answered yes to all of those, and I reported it. Bucknuts got a hold of it and got him on their radio program. He basically said it wasn't true, because they were grilling him on the spot and he was committed to OSU still. He's always had some interest, but the NCAA stuff pushed him out. He wanted to know that Fickell would be there permanently, and eventually realized that he couldn't get that guarantee. After he realized that he visited Michigan and was wowed by what they had to offer. Combine that with Tom Strobel, his good friend, telling him he would love it and this is what you have.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] No, I'll create a separate [Body]

Output: No, I'll create a separate post eventually.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] I don't remember what it was [Body]

Output: I don't remember what it was in reference to, but basically what happened was this. He was planning on committing on his visit the first time he went up to Ann Arbor. His coach told him not to and told him just to wait a little bit. He went up, loved the visit and knew he wanted to pick Michigan. He wanted to wait until everything died down because he was getting hit up by a lot of Ohio State fans pretty bad. He wasn't a silent commitment as some people were reporting, but he knew that he was coming to Michigan. He had been telling a few Michigan commitments that he was coming, and recently has been recruiting a few kids to Michigan. He asked that I not mention who they are, so I won't. He set up this visit with his family with the intention to commit, and he did.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] Their decisions aren't likely [Body]

Output: Their decisions aren't likely related. Wormley is a quiet kid so he wants to announce quietly and unexpectedly. He'll do it when he thinks it's a time that no one will expect.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] I'm obviously not there, but [Body]

Output: I'm obviously not there, but they're going to send out a release once he announces. I'm sure it will get out before the release hits my email. I have heard some positive things lately, but I don't know for sure.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 weeks ago [Title] His coach said they're going [Body]

Output: His coach said they're going to email out a press release once he announces, for those of us that won't be there. Scheduled to start at 2:30, but it could take a little bit for the actual announcement.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] If you ask his coach he's [Body]

Output: If you ask his coach he's saying he's still considering Michigan, and that he's announcing at the All American game. He told me that Wayne realizes the school that really wants him will wait for him, which basically contradicts the first statement. I wouldn't read too much into him wearing a Michigan hat.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] That seems weird because [Body]

Output: That seems weird because Garnett has told me that he doesn't think they will end up at the same place. He said Banner is looking for different things than he is.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Mario Ojemudia told me he [Body]

Output: Mario Ojemudia told me he will also be at The Opening, and Royce Jenkins-Stone told me he wasn't invited for some reason.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Because I forgot to put [Body]

Output: Because I forgot to put Oklahoma on there. Oops.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Payton has been a little [Body]

Output: Payton has been a little uneasy about USC for awhile now, so this isn't out of nowhere.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] July 31st from 11-3 I [Body]

Output: July 31st from 11-3 I believe. I'll have to double check the time. Caleb Stacey told me about it, he's going. So is Ringer. I'll confirm others as it gets closer, but it sounds like invitations were extended.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] He's good enough, but those [Body]

Output: He's good enough, but those guys aren't scared of competition.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Also, rather than starting a [Body]

Output: Also, rather than starting a new thread I'll just post this here. I deleted a thread I started last night about Kyle Kalis because I don't have a paywall to write behind. Everyone can see what I write so I felt that it was best just to keep everything off right now. For those that didn't see it, there wasn't anything huge just more or less telling everyone to be patient. The comments started to get speculative and turned into exactly what I didn't want to happen. So I deleted it. I have been talking to him this whole time, I think I might be one of the few. I just wanted to clear that up, so please don't start posting speculative stuff below this now. Just leave everything alone for now.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] No, that wouldn't make any [Body]

Output: No, that wouldn't make any sense. Morris is already the QB for the '13 class.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Title] I'm not expecting him to get [Body]

Output: I'm not expecting him to get an offer any time soon, maybe later on. I don't mean that as a knock on him, I just don't think it will happen until closer to signing day if they don't think they're in it with anyone higher on their board. Don't take this post as me implying anything just thought I would give him a chance to say what's going on and that he's hoping to hear from Michigan.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] The coaches are well aware of [Body]

Output: The coaches are well aware of these kids, especially Kyle. Like I said above they really like him. Just because he doesn't have an offer doesn't mean they're not interested or don't know about him.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] It depends on the class size, [Body]

Output: It depends on the class size, if anyone goes pro, etc. If you look at the numbers right now though and want to ballpark off that you might be able to come up with a reasonable number. The depth chart for the 2012 season will have (assuming they keep all their current OL commits and add two more) 16 spots over the entire line. 2012 sees Omameh, Barnum, Mealer, and Khoury graduate. This is all assuming no one jumps to the NFL, but you'd probably be looking at around 4 spots for 2013, 4 or 5 realistically.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] I know Michigan really likes [Body]

Output: I know Michigan really likes Kyle, he could potentially be a candidate for an early offer. We'll see what happens.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] He's alright, thanks. He got [Body]

Output: He's alright, thanks. He got roughed up pretty bad by the rottweiler. He got thrown in the air and bit on the neck a few times, but he just has some bruising and deep puncture wounds. He's doped up on morphine right now, so he has no clue what's going on.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Yes, I believe they would [Body]

Output: Yes, I believe they would take him.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Mauk told me he'll be [Body]

Output: Mauk told me he'll be deciding within the next few weeks but he's kept everything quiet. Much like Kiel I don't think they're telling anyone what's going on.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] haha, alright alright you [Body]

Output: haha, alright alright you guys can unbuckle. I was told a few things by a couple people I trust today and thought something would happen. We'll see when it does.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Yes [Body]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] In that update, I want to [Body]

Output: In that update, I want to make this part clear, that it's not 100% that Kyle will take the other visits. I'll explain everything that happened once it's over if someone reminds me. The decision to take visits was decided by he and his coach so he can think about things. Visits can sometimes change that, but we'll see.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Not everyone reads every [Body]

Output: Not everyone reads every post on here, so it's bound to happen which is fine. I do sometimes wonder if people are actually reading my stuff sometimes if there's a front page post or a diary and someone posts the exact same thing from elsewhere. It happens on Twitter a lot, too. I'll post something and someone will ask a question that's answered by my tweet. It's like a weird game of Jeopardy. I don't mind though, I like talking to everyone.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Like I said below, the Kalis [Body]

Output: Like I said below, the Kalis Update on the board is exactly what's happening right now.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] I think thhe coaches have [Body]

Output: I think thhe coaches have gone back and forth on whether to take 2 or 3 more linemen. With Diamond and Kalis in the position they're in, the coaches at most have one more spot to fill. You mentioned Bars and Bisnowaty, Bars as he said in my interview is announcing within a week. If they miss on those two the cochra can sit back and wait for guys like Garnett and Banner to visit and see what happens. If they were to only get Kalis and Diamond I don't think they would mind. You might see a few new names pop up too if they decide that they do want 3 more in this class.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] First part is right, second [Body]

Output: First part is right, second part is not.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] What I [Body]

Output: What I laid out in the Kalis Update the other day is exactly what's happening with him. He has told me everything that's going on, mainly off the record, so that update is what he's thinking. He has very high interest in Michigan. http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/tomvh-kyle-kalis-update


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Commenting for the Tom tab. [Body]

Output: Commenting for the Tom tab.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Everyone is freaking out [Body]

Output: Everyone is freaking out about this. At the end of the day I think if Pipkins and O'Brien both wanted to come to Michigan there's probably a scenario where that would work. I don't think anything is set in stone with recruiting, so just take it for what it is right now.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Don't forget about Adam [Body]

Output: Don't forget about Adam Bisnowaty, too. He's still in the mix.
