Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I think another thing that [Body]

Output: I think another thing that happens is that Hoke and Co. get into the parents ears (not all cases, but some) and the parents feel comfortable with sending their sons to play for someone that's going to "touch them" in a way to make them better football players but also better men in the long run. While parents don't make the decisions, it has to factor in when they feel like the coach of the school could really almost fill their role when they are not there.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Even though I am a fan of all [Body]

Output: Even though I am a fan of all Michigan sports, until we put MSU back in their rightful place, i will only be rooting for their complete destruction on the football field for some time to come.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Yeah, I think the ND game is [Body]

Output: Yeah, I think the ND game is one that a lot of us know will be a tough W and quite frankly, a well played close loss wouldn't be the end of the world. Hoke needs to worry more about toasting MSU and TSIO more (and not choking against his former team and letting one slip away)


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I think sometimes in [Body]

Output: I think sometimes in recruiting, the attitude, work ethic, and dedication of the athlete can sometimes be way more improtant than the stars behind his name. A team that plays as a team always has a chance to win and be successful (reminds of the 2004 Pistons, not necessarily the biggest names, but a great cohesive unit). While not always the case, i am sure there are some egos attached to that 5th star. I think Hoke is recruiting guys who he believes in and who in turn believe in him and what he is doing. That is something that is really awesome, because I think when you take an existing group of players that have been through a lot and are really bonded through the adversity, then sprinkle in new young guys who want to make a difference and want to give their all, you have a team that can produce something special.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I am probably just being a [Body]

Output: I am probably just being a Homer, but throughout this series i really felt like the Wings got very few breaks from an officiating standpoint. Almost like the Sharks were the sexier pick and they were going to do anything they could to push the old dynasty out of the way. Oh well, i will enjoy watching San Jose get shellacked by the Canucks.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] The only piece of commentary [Body]

Output: The only piece of commentary Millen gave that I ever thought was any good was during the UCONN game (correct me if that is wrong) when Denard took off and all you hear is Millen saying, "That's 6!". Other than that, he has brought nothing but shame upon himself and a once proud NFL franchise. Good thing we are breaking down the old iron bars of the cage he put around the might Lions.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I always thought he was a [Body]

Output: I always thought he was a tool on around the horn. I guess now that he's going to jail he will get plenty of exposure to other "tools" that may or may not be to his liking. Good riddance.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Lemeuix going turtle in utter [Body]

Output: Lemeuix going turtle in utter fear of what was coming his way. Never has a man been more terrified of is certain and impending demise.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Agreed, but he also seems [Body]

Output: Agreed, but he also seems like the type of guy who you could have never met and still carry on a conversation with for hours about things football and non-football related. I am pretty sure i could get into a great conversation about what type of lawnmower he prefers.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] "They're writing hand-written [Body]

Output: "They're writing hand-written letters — Coach Smith, Coach Mattison and Coach Hoke." This comment really was interesting to me. The coaches are doing everything they can to show how excited they are for these players. I mean come one, and handwritten note!!? That's just fricken awesome of them to do. If I were a recruit that got a hand written note from a coach, it would really feel like i was part of a family. HOKEMANIA is amazing!


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] This is absolutely absurd. I [Body]

Output: This is absolutely absurd. I can remember being stopped a couple of times while driving up North to go hunting and having a conversation with an officer about the benefits/drawbacks of the model of handgun I was carrying on my hip. Now, while my licsense made it a legal item to carry, I can't imagine how any of these are felony items. Camo....you and i could share a cell then, cuz i would have about 20 years and 10,000 dollars worth of felonies in the back of my truck too!


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] My heart was pretty cold and [Body]

Output: My heart was pretty cold and stoney to the hire of Hoke initially, but he formed a small crack in that stone when he got up at that podium and said things like, "we would have walked here" , "you want to win 'em!!" (in reference to rivalry games), and "This is Michigan for God's sake". Since then, everything he has done has worked that crack open bigger and bigger, and if he (and more importantly his corrdinators) can coach as well as they recruit, i am sure that crack will split wide open and i will get a gushy with man love for Hoke. Still, the win/loss columns are still 0-0, so I am going to remain a bit cautious and guard my heart a bit more until I see some really good results. I will be really interested to see what this team looks like come fall practices.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I think it is the Wings game [Body]

Output: I think it is the Wings game to lose. The way they dominated the other night in game six, really shows their poise and the fear that has been struck into the Sharks. I just hope that Abdelkader doesn't come up with any other boneheaded penalties late in the game, the hands in the face on Tuesday night was just silly.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I was about to say the same [Body]

Output: I was about to say the same thing, less than two weeks until we are under 100 days until the season starts. Gosh it really can't come fast enough!


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I would say 2-3 year bowl ban [Body]

Output: I would say 2-3 year bowl ban and 10-20 scholarships over that time would proabably be about right. However, they could use the alternate route and punish TSIO with a bulldozer, can of gas, and a match, nothing like a clean slate and fresh canvas to really send the message.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Hey, it worked on Al Capone [Body]

Output: Hey, it worked on Al Capone (well, i believe his was more for evasion if memory serves me correctly), so why not a sleazy car dealer in Columbus?


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Don't know if it's a [Body]

Output: Don't know if it's a nickname, but I always liked yelling out "SIR CHARLES" during Woodson's days at Michigan, always seemed fitting of someone who was a cut above the rest.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] It still gives me chills to [Body]

Output: It still gives me chills to think about some of the talent stacked into the linebacker position over the next few years. Bolden, Ross, RJS.....oh man it's going to be great. This has been a great last few weeks to be a fan of sports throughout the state of Michigan!


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I would love to see this kid [Body]

Output: I would love to see this kid plowing the field down in Maize and Blue. Come on down Paul, you know that some of the great lineman in the NFL came out of AA, follow that great tradition!


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I am trying to get all my [Body]

Output: I am trying to get all my Kings fans out here to root for the Wings also. Nothing like getting in their ears and whispering (in my best fake Russian accent), "Do you really want the team that knocked you out of the playoffs in OT to win? Join the Red army my purple and black friends, it is the only way to the hockey promised land" We will be fired up on the West Coast for it!


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Totally jacked up for this [Body]

Output: Totally jacked up for this game. With Clowe out it puts even more pressure on a lackluster performing Marleau....I am just hoping that is a good thing as it will cause him to be even less effective than he already has. Modano may be old but every time i watch him play, I see that hunger come across his face. I think he wants it bad enough and like Babcock said the other night, only those who have the strongest of desires to compete will still be around this time of year. GO WINGS!!!!!


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Just what i needed to break [Body]

Output: Just what i needed to break the Tuesday afternoon blues!!! Now time to sneak out the back door and beat the traffic home to watch the Wings! This is all just another exciting dose of Michigan sports Viagra!


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Babcock needs to be the coach [Body]

Output: Babcock needs to be the coach here and make the right decision. Put Modano's fresh legs on the ice tonight and keep Franzen out. I love the Mule as much as any Wings fan, but right now i think he hurts the team more than he helps. They did just fine without him in the third period of the last game. Let's take it to them tonight and then complete the crushing of their spirits in game 7.


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I will echo everyone else [Body]

Output: I will echo everyone else here as well Denarded, absolutely fantastic work! Can't wait for the fall to descend upon us and make the world right again!


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Title] I remember tearing my entire [Body]

Output: I remember tearing my entire apartment apart during this game. My favorite michigan hat, my remote control, my tall beer glass, and the drywall just behind my chair all suffered the wrath that i wanted to impart upon GERG that day. I fixed the hole in the drywall, but i never blended it perfectly back into the wall, that way i would never forget the torment of that day and that man.


Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Agree with that completely. [Body]

Output: Agree with that completely. Football is important, but as well all know in football or any sport you are just one ligament/muscle tear away from never playing again. Whatever his path may be, having the education to get through life should always trump the sports. That being said, he could certainly help out both by working hard and getting that ultra-impressive Michigan education that is renowned the world over. Keep working hard young man!


Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Totally with you [Body]

Output: Totally with you Gunners....Government filters can be very annoying and since this is the only place that I can collect Michigan information, I see the value in it. But the PT thing is also a good idea as well


Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Don't forget Sparty, i mean [Body]

Output: Don't forget Sparty, i mean come on....you have to really work hard to sink to levels low enought for them to seriously consider you....right?


Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Well done sir, now my days [Body]

Output: Well done sir, now my days can be even more filled with content that has no relevance to work other than it gets me from the start to the finish!


Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Title] I had the great pleasure of [Body]

Output: I had the great pleasure of meeting former President Ford when I was just a little squirt and he was visiting Holland, MI. I will never forget even at a young age the presence that he had around people and the respect he demanded, truly a beloved son of Michigan.


Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Hey, if he can produce wins [Body]

Output: Hey, if he can produce wins on the field this year, let the touching begin!


Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Always good to have more [Body]

Output: Always good to have more options to be able to move around the general area. Riding the commuter trains on the South Shore line from Michigan City to Chicago was alright, but it would really be nice to have another fast option to get there.


Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Thanks for filling in on [Body]

Output: Thanks for filling in on these, I was missing the "There Are...." post for today. I wonder what kind of notes Borges has written on that paper he's holding.... 1.) Denard is indeed pure dilithium 2.) Lewan can in fact throw donkeys a mile 3.) Note to self: get middle name changed to Gorgeous


Input: [Date] 4 years 12 weeks ago [Title] 9-3/8-4 [Body]

Output: I am with Scenario 2 as well. Not having Wisky on the schedule is always a plus, and getting Minnesota and Northwestern (although that's not as guaranteed as it used to be) back on the schedule will help. Marc beat me to it, but Denard will get better over the summer, his athleticism and overall work ethic will allow him to again improve. Should be a very solid season.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] If he tweeted that after the [Body]

Output: If he tweeted that after the thing about the 49ers being 7-4, he has since deleted that, as well. I couldn't find it.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 16 hours ago [Title] Maybe he didn't like how he [Body]

Output: Maybe he didn't like how he phrased his response. It's not easy when people are picking apart every single word used in 140 character bursts, and looking for positive signals or something that suggests a lack of credibility.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 16 hours ago [Title] I suggested to him that the [Body]

Output: I suggested to him that the 49ers would have been 7-4 at the time of these alleged initial discussions. He responded that it might explain why interest was low at that point. I responded again that it would have been an distraction (with Harbaugh reasonably focused on making the playoffs). He deleted his response to me. I'm not sure why. I always find that odd.


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Brian has cited him in some [Body]

Output: Brian has cited him in some of the coaching search updates. Moss has been around a long time. He has some sources. This isn't totally random internet rumormongering.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I think he first tweeted that [Body]

Output: I think he first tweeted that day that the press conference would be held and that Brandon would be fired. It beat everyone else. It wasn't a random guess. And, he's not really in that business, from what I can tell. That said, I'm not the guy who you mock for buying every internet rumor that comes along. I totally get the skepticism. And, I don't care what you all believe. I'm just saying that the salt that goes with this report in particular should probably be of the grain and not the boulder variety.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I'm not saying he's right [Body]

Output: I'm not saying he's right about this, but I think he had Brandon's firing before anyone else. Brian might vouch for that.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I think you are reading too [Body]

Output: I think you are reading too much into it. Read the next sentence after he mentioned bowl games: "They may be in bowl games. They may be…you know, wherever they are in their status..." I don't think you can make any judgment at all about a pool of candidats limited to college coaches based on that statement.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Title] This probably wasn't intended [Body]

Output: This probably wasn't intended to be a diary, but I'll just point out that it seems unlikely to me that Harbaugh would be stupid enough to go to Miami given the acrimony in that front office. Have you read the backstory on Aponte? It doesn't sound like she's going anywhere, and if that's true, Harbaugh would be jumping from one bad situation to another. I'm not sure even Ross's money could paper that over.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Great. Well, then the [Body]

Output: Great. Well, then the problem was either provider-specific (which AT&T denied) or it was an issue in certain pockets of the city.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 3 days ago [Title] There was a problem with the [Body]

Output: There was a problem with the broadcast in the Atlanta area (and possibly others). They screwed up the regional coverage such that ABC and ESPN2 were both showing Texas A&M vs. SMU. This continued until some point in the 3rd quarter when the complaints must have finally bubbled up to the people who fix these sorts of things. At that point, the UM game became available on ESPN2.


Input: [Date] 1 year 20 weeks ago [Title] Did you just cut and paste [Body]

Output: Did you just cut and paste that summary from rotoworld?


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] You'll always be Coach [Body]

Output: You'll always be Coach Schiano to me...


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] Hello - I have returned to [Body]

Output: Hello - I have returned to receive your upvotes...


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] Year 3 under Rodriguez is [Body]

Output: Year 3 under Rodriguez is identical to Year 3 under Hoke. We have not improved. Also, we could easily be 4-7 right now. Some of those wins are functional losses. But tell me more about how great things are...


Input: [Date] 2 years 1 day ago [Title] It looks like Benoit will [Body]

Output: It looks like Benoit will continue to close (from Danny Knobler on Twitter - I can't embed for some reason): @DannyKnoblerCBS Tigers will keep Benoit as closer, use Veras along with Smyly in the 7th and 8th innings.


Input: [Date] 2 years 1 day ago [Title] I'm not certain he's going to [Body]

Output: I'm not certain he's going to close, but it will be nice to have some more help with late innings.


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Title] Michigan 38 - ND 31 [Body]

Output: Michigan 38 - ND 31


Input: [Date] 3 years 18 weeks ago [Title] I'm guessing "DB" isn't [Body]

Output: I'm guessing "DB" isn't "wondering what happened to Beilein and the program in such a short time frame" because Dave Brandon is smart enough not to evaluate the status of a major program by only looking at a three week period in which nothing that could be construed by any reasonable person as "negativity breed[ing] negativity" took place.


Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Spencer Hall is Orson. [Body]

Output: Spencer Hall is Orson. #yourmindblown


Input: [Date] 3 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Raoul: The article doesn't [Body]

Output: Raoul: The article doesn't say anything about where McGary places Duke among the final six. It simply says McGary's parents favor Duke.


Input: [Date] 3 years 46 weeks ago [Title] According to John Buccigross [Body]

Output: According to John Buccigross (and reports he's citing on twitter from foreign news agencies), Liv and Salei are confirmed dead.


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Title] The twitter link is all there [Body]

Output: The twitter link is all there is. The link within just goes to his profile. http://twitter.com/#!/nbadraftnet/status/61153951835357184


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Title] No, I'm well aware of the [Body]

Output: No, I'm well aware of the last four years, thanks. As I said above, I just think this is overkill. I don't think that's that controversial of an opinion.


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Title] For what reason do they need [Body]

Output: For what reason do they need to travel around the country and "get the former players pumped up?" I'm not being a smartass. I really don't see why it's necessary. I'm not saying they need to spend all of their time watching film like has been suggested above.


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Title] But he has a lot of former [Body]

Output: But he has a lot of former players in his phone...or whatever...


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Title] I don't understand why this [Body]

Output: I don't understand why this is necessary or a valuable use of the coaches' time. I understand the perceived need to "mend fences" or whatever, but if this is true, it seems to be overkill.


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Title] What was the state of "the [Body]

Output: What was the state of "the tradition" when RR came in, or did you miss that part of the post in your rush to cryptically name drop?


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Title] Except it's not...at all. [Body]

Output: Except it's not...at all.


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Let's just watch the spring [Body]

Output: Let's just watch the spring game...


Input: [Date] 4 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Butler lost two starters and [Body]

Output: Butler lost two starters and they were pretty important. Gordon Heyward was their best player and a lottery pick in last year's NBA draft. Willie Veasley (who now plays in Japan) was a critical defender that, like Heyward, could guard almost anyone. Their struggles early this season were almost entirely related to defense. They've found a way to make up for those losses.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] Im tired of your hating. I remember reading very positive comments about Denard, and you immediately follow with how many interceptions he threw in the last 5 or 6 games. I could pull the atleast 5 or 6 links slick, so theres no need for you snarky ass comments in response i have proof. Have you considered how many records this guy broke for Michigan this year, and how he kept us in games all year long. Yea, you could pull some random ass stat to try to prove your point but its use less, Denard is special, and you and your mgopoints can go straight to hell. Bottom line, show love and respect where its due or shut the hell up!!! "i like Denard" .....this is bs. stop. Stay Classy Drew Magnus. [Title]

Output: @ magnus.....Im tired of your hating dude


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Body] The question is, will an Nfl team give Denard a shot. If they do and he's successful, it might help to change the perception that you have to be 6'5 to play QB in the Nfl. [Title]

Output: The question is...


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Body] It was no "mistake" to change the style of offense in year one. He runs the spread, thats all he runs, and he was brought here to change the offense and he did so. [Title]

Output: Rich Rod was brought here to run the spread


Input: [Date] 4 years 32 weeks ago [Body] Copy and paste, huh. Just bcuz he copied and pasted doesnt mean the point is not valid. [Title]

Output: Copy and paste, huh.


Input: [Date] 4 years 32 weeks ago [Body] In 1995 whatever. Cmon, this isnt 1995, the 90's were the shit (see 90's hip hop music). However in 2010 kids are much more aware of the coaching situation and how it may affect there chances at going pro. The 2011 decomits and guys who dropped Michigan due to this coaching change situation prove my point. Hi Dee Hart, how are you? [Title]

Output: In 1995


Input: [Date] 4 years 32 weeks ago [Body] Yet another translation "I dont like his accent, or his swag." [Title]

Output: Yet another translation


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Body] Although i noticed that the running backs got more carries with Tate, i am not at all concerned about this. Denard is probably the most exciting player in the country with the ball in his hands. So im ok with Denard not handing it off as often, the only thing that concerns me is the durability issue with Denard carrying the ball so much. [Title]

Output: I noticed more RB runs with Tate too.


Input: [Date] 4 years 40 weeks ago [Body] It seems that most of our fellow fans think that Denard was "struggling". To those who think that, see the video, consider how we moved the ball! Consider the penalties, the fumble, the blocked FG that Denard had nothing to do with. Denard didnt struggle, we moved the ball just fine. See his stats for the game. And I also think that people who make the Tate in passing situations are delusional. Lets review, Denard has led 2 come from behind (obvious pass situations) game winning drives, one of which he was 5 for 5 passing (on the road). And one more thing to the "Tate should be have more snaps crowd". Denard is just as likely to break a 60 yard run, in fact, Denard is waaayyy more likely (based on his big play ability vs Tates BPA, see Denards first play from scrimmage ever, or his heisman resume throughout the first 5 games 2010) to make a big play for a touchdown in a catch up situation then Tate is to throw a 60 yard touchdown. So my question to the Tate on 3rd down, Take if we get behind by 14, Tate for president crowd is, ARE YOU SERIOUS?? [Title]

Output: Exactly


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Every team has a game or two per year where they dont look good. Today we witnessed this first hand as our team barely beat out a Umass team who we should have taken care of with no problems. So Im going consider this as the 1 or 2 games a year that your team simply doenst play good. No need to panic though. Youve all seen the UFR from the past 2 games and honestly the defense didnt look too bad (beside the obvious Cam gord issues). Cam Gord, will be ok, i think he learned, i think he will continue to learn, and as "all" real Michigan fans hope and believe, Camron G. will get better. In fact, i think that Cam is going to be a nice safety. I think with more practice, and experience he's going to start blowing people the hell up and picking off or batting down passes regularly! Today the D looked pathetic, but i think that the D will recover and look sharp during the next couple games. [Title]

Output: Our defense isnt as bad as we looked today.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Denard will dust this guy (griffin) off... translation, Denard will smoke this guy. Denard will get in this guys ass... this guy will get walked by Denard. Nuff said! [Title]

Output: Denard all day son


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Body] Look at it like this, most of the guys who left were 3 star guys. The 3 star guys who left will be replaced with 4 and 5 star guys next year. It all has to do with the team winning games. I am firm believer that this team will win atleast 9 games this year. So if you consider that we will have a winning team, and a winning team means good recruiting, then im comfortable saying that i think that the guys who left will be replace next year with guys who are higher rated. [Title]

Output: Look at it like this


Input: [Date] 4 years 48 weeks ago [Body] " I come right off they butt, and thats where the hole is"...........lol....nice. [Title]

Output: Stonum said


Input: [Date] 4 years 51 weeks ago [Body] Even if Tate has a valid reason for missing practice or workouts, he clearly hasnt communicated that reason to the seniors on the team. I dont think that Troy would have made these comments if there was a valid reason that Tate Communicated to him. [Title]

Output: Tate needs to speak up, and step up.


Input: [Date] 4 years 51 weeks ago [Body] I wish this guy would just call it a career and simply go away. [Title]

Output: Go away


Input: [Date] 5 years 2 weeks ago [Body] Will Tim Tebow will ever be a starting QB in the NFL?? [Title]

Output: @raleighwood


Input: [Date] 5 years 13 weeks ago [Body] I'll whoop Manny ass and then i'll run for office in his country. Im kidding, but i got a cousin who will whoop his ass though. Dont you hate the guy that says that he has a cousin that can do anything. He has a cousin that boxes, plays in the Nfl, and of course his cousin is the best rapper in the world. Sorry about that guys, but the "i have a cousin guy" kills me. Anyways, i have swag, and i talk shit, and by the way, i am hoping and praying that Demar Dorsey makes in to campus in the fall!! Michigan Football needs some swag. By the way, all of my cousins would get destroyed by Pacman, dont tell them i said that though. Manny is seriously coming off as a bitch and a cheater, he needs to submit to olympic style testing. Not just Manny, all professional athletes that participate in all professional sports. [Title]

Output: Manny is a pussy, submit to the testing!!!


Input: [Date] 5 years 13 weeks ago [Body] Mayweather: 1- speed, speed, speed 2- Mayweathers defense is sick. This dude hardly ever gets hit. He's slick, smart, and avoids being punched. When is the last time you seen Mayweathers face beat up after a fight? Never. 3- Mayweather is undefeated, and might be the best ever...arguably. He's so good, that people say that he hasnt fought anyone. They also say that he only fights great fighters when they are old. Its not that he hasnt fought anyone, it’s that he makes good fighters look like scrubs. Mosley: 1- speed, speed, speed. If mayweathers speed is a 99, then mosleys speed is a 96. 2-Mosley has fought some good fighters in his career. He's fought the guys that others avoid. He's fought in superfights. Remember the mosley vs de la hoya fights. De La Hoya was no slouch in the late 90's. In fact, in my opinion, these two guys (De La Hoya and Mosley) were he best in their class in the late 90's. 3- Mosley has speed, and power. This is a deadly combination. Yes, Mosley is waaaayyy stronger than Mayweather. Mayweather might get knocked the hell out tonight. See Debo's work on Friday part one. In my opinion this fight is gonna come down to Mayweathers defense vs Mosleys power. They both have speed and they both have experience, so those things cancel each other out. If I were placing a bet, I'd bet on Mayweather, but I'd be very nervous about it. This is gonna be a great fight. I wanted to see Pacman vs Mayweather just like the rest of the world, but this may arguably be a tougher fight for money may. I cant wait.....!!! [Title]

Output: Im torn on this one.

Input: [Date] 5 years 14 weeks ago [Body] Denard should not switch postitions. Its my opinion that the NFL is moving away from the old school pocket passer. I think that we will start to see more and more hybrid qb's who can not only pass the ball, but run as well. Vick, tebow, Pat White are all examples that support my opinion. By the way, i think Tate should move to punter. Kidding, relax. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 25 weeks ago [Body] He reminds me of a young Chad Johnson/Ochocinco. I love players who talk trash, but also are the first guys to help a guy up after a hard it or good tackle. Another good example of a guy that talks major trash, but is an excellent team player is Kevin Garnett. The most important thing to having swag is that you whoop ass on the field. I hope that Dorsey can balance his swag with good leadership, and good on the field play. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 31 weeks ago [Body] I think that in 2011 Michigan will be making a run at the big 10 title and be ranked 10 or better in the bcs. Call me crazy but i have a gut feeling like sam webbs recruiting gut feelings. I actually have some reasoning behind my gut feeling though. By 2011 Rich Rods system will be in full swing. Not only will he have players that fit the system, the players will have 3 years of experience in that system. And in addition to that we are talking about guys who will be much bigger stronger and faster than they were as freshman or sophmores. The problem here is that i dont know if he's gonna get the time (4th year). The worse thing that could possibly happen is that Rich Rod gets fired after 2010. Which means that in 2011 a new coach will come in and use Rich Rods "full cabinet" to make a run at a big ten championship. It would totally suck to hear all the Rich Rod haters say "i told ya so,". 2011 will be the year. I just hope that Rich Rod is still here to enjoy it. And by the way, in 2010 Michigan will win 8 games. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 32 weeks ago [Body] Not only is Tiger the Athlete of the decade, but he's also the Pimp/Player of the decade too. And according to well established "man laws" we as men have to respect him for that. As far as Tiger vs Federer, all i have to say is. Who gives a shit about tennis. At the end of the day how many men secretly wish they could be Tiger Woods. The money, ho's, clothes, and the lifestyle. Be honest with yourselfs. [Title]

Seriously though I've been looking for the right sponsor for our Podcast for a long, long time, and when Liz left the beer company she was working for to break out as a consultant and real estate agent, I approached her specifically for this, and made the price a secondary concern because she's the right kind of sponsor. She is, like Harbaugh, herself at full volume all the time, and part of the fabric of the Ann Arbor and Michigan Athletics community. With most of the things I sell we're just helping them market their thing because we have the right audience to market their thing. But this is one of those things where it's more like the sponsor wanted to help us and can justify it if a handful of MGoBloggers use her as their real estate broker. The podcast is a marketable thing that a lot of our advertisers have been interested in; it's not like it took us this long to find a sponsor; it took us this long to find Liz. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 days 39 min ago [Body] Brian used to go out there once a year around now for the alumni association's thing; I don't know if that event was discontinued or he just didn't get asked this year. We are doing other things with the alumni association (announcement to come). We also did an event with Todd Howard the night before the 2013 Northwestern (firedrill field goal) game that I put together. We had planned on doing that again, and had the venue chosen and everything, but Michigan was so unwatchable leading up to M00N that we canceled it. Maybe we'll do one after the season. Anyway if/when we do it'll be the second the Chicago Alumni Association Club asks us because they are an excellent group to work with. I think they're coming into town for Northwestern (homecoming) this year. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 days 7 hours ago [Body] One of the keys to all of this is Nebraska isn't leaving the Big Ten; everybody is joining the Big Ten, formerly known as the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives, so that for the sake of TV rights and whatnot all the powers are negotiating as one entity, and scheduling each other. I know it's a pipedream. What I don't want to see is the organic method of growing from a bunch of conferences into a league, because all that does incentivize the current conferences to snatch up any program bigger than a MAC school in a colonial land-grab, which is exactly how we found ourselves in a 7-team division with Maryland and Rutgers while Iowa and Wisconsin and Purdue come around less often than Utah. The conferences grew organically well enough when television was regional and limited to four networks, and declaring a national champion was just a nerdy postseason excercise between professions that have to pay half attention. Today conferences are billion dollar corporations with their television networks, yet theyr'e still functioning under a system that expects them to be faculty representatives from elitist, non-profit educational institutions. The NCAA had their chance to become a true regulatory body, but instead chose to act more like an industry trade organization*. The best thing for college football right now would be to acknowledge that the regional conferences that grew out of the 20th century are anachronisms worth preserving, like historic neighborhoods or whatever. Without that familiar structure the whole enterprise is at risk of becoming too desaturated, i.e. an NFL-lite, which is a crappier product fewer people will care about. When ESPN inevitably defaults on whichever round of promises it has to make to secure the TV rights to the last bastion of un-DVR'able entertainment, the BIG SIX or POWER SIX or whatever you want to term it will be in perfect position to cut Fox and Disney out of their revenue stream and make what they're making now by charging $5/month and selling ads themselves on a streaming college football channel. The Big Ten is just the body out of convenience; the organizing structure of any major conference is sufficient to expand to include the 60-64 schools that operate truly professional-level (i.e. highly profitable) football enterprises. Technically everyone joins the Big Ten, or joins a new conference that handles all the "conference" stuff for the group, and is such a tour de force in college athletics that the NCAA has to kowtow to it. I have no problem trying to fit Baylor and TCU into this (TT might be a stretch since their school's athletic budget is MAC-like despite the school's history). I only left them out because I thought a Texas-based mid-major conference would make for some rockin' good regional football. * Specifically, one for mid-19th century cotton growers [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 days 6 hours ago [Body] I removed the section on relegation. These schools have long traditions against each other even if they were not competitive. I would hate to lose Indiana even for a year just for the sake of recognizing 1 or even 5 good years out of say Bowling Green. Rather I capped the conferences at 11 and left spots open for expansion. If the Big East wants to add Rutgers or the Pac Ten want to add Utah there's a mechanism, but that is their only expansion and it forces their teams to all play a 10th conference game instead of an out of conf opponent.

We are working on a system where anyone logged in to account we mark as spam is ported to our old-old-old server that runs a superslow copy of the site except with an ad service that only runs invasive ads, and there's zero virus protection, so anyone who tries spamming us ends up having their spam computers locked into 50-minute load times and a gazillion software attacks.

I see your criticisms of Ready Player one, but I was actually sick of all the references after the midway point but then I thought the story took off, and I was impressed that he managed to actually bring the "your dream comes true" theme to a satisfying conclusion. I think the deux ex machina was self-aware; the whole point is it's a game and meant to function as one. I'm 50% through Armada and I think Cline was so disappointed by people not understanding this that he's making it too obvious (or perhaps the entire point) in this book. [Title]

I went with "plays as they would on your team" because I think it's more interesting to draft system guys for a system and whatnot.

Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] Every fan of every team makes all of these same statements about why their school is better, and totally clean too. Fact is the athletes are picking between heavens. Most campuses are beautiful. Most support staff are top notch. FBS coaches are among the top 200 in their profession. NFL talent comes out of so many schools that which coaches develop a position best has to mean less than what that individual player is made of (not that it doesn't matter, especially w/ quarterbacks). A little something extra makes a big difference because there isn't much difference between schools. As for fans, this site's existence when every other indie team site but 11 Warriors can't support even one blogging career speaks to something unique about Michigan fans' dedication. I have a hard time imagining there could ever be a Grantland for Just Clemson. Depending on what section you sit in though I'm sure you can encounter some pretty quiet old farts in Michigan Stadium. We even have a name for them: Blue hairs. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Body] Labels man. Ask yourself this: what do you call a guy who took money from some school then signed with Michigan anyway? Think that never happened with someone on the roster right now? Cut every "cheater" who broke an NCAA rule and there won't be many athletes left. This is why I blame the NCAA first and foremost. Whenever you find a thriving black market for something there's always a shitty someone making the regular market not work. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Body] In certain cases it's pretty clear. This is one of those cases. Clemson is one of those schools. Be mad at Michigan for not playing the same game as everyone else or be mad at the players who take liquid love over a minor preference in school choice, or be mad at the NCAA which creates all this madness. Pretending it doesn't happen is just naivety for the sake of sanctimony. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Body] The charter schools are taking a few students. But the bigger effect is we built for a temporary population disruption. In the 1960s, 85% (that's ridiculously high) of Bloomfield Hills homes had school-age children. Today that's under 50%. Those numbers were repeated ad nauseum in the local paper/e-newsletter (Patch) during the merging of their high schools. Farmington won't be exactly like that--iBloomfield Hills was built almost entirely after the war and immediately filled with vets starting families, whereas Farmington was a thriving farming town for a century before it became a suburb. But that illustrates why, despite the population not being as hard hit as most of Michigan, these districts are still downsizing. A bit of school funding history: up until I was in college (and Engler was governor) your property taxes went right to the school district. Communities like Ann Arbor, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, and Farmington voluntarily raised their property taxes to create elite schools. The rule itself though ultimately created an effect of really good schools in affluent areas and awful schools in poor areas, which isn't really fair considering the state should be providing a good education to all of its citizenry. So the state pooled everybody's property taxes into the state fund, shifted half of them to prisons, and doled out the rest evenly. In response these communities started passing regular bonds. Every few elections there's a bond issue on the ballot, everybody winks at each other, and we pass it, and that money can't be touched by the state. But it does raise the price of living here, because paying off the "bonds" is effectually a permanently increased property tax. It means if you're planning on sending your kid to private school, you can save money by buying a house in another suburb. School choice is a politically charged thing that affects everywhere because there are parents who prefer privitized institutions everywhere. I don't think it's a primary effect in this particular case because the #1 reason people live in Farmington in the first place is the public schools. West Bloomfield is right smack in between Farmington Hills and Bloomfield Hills, but WB has relatively crappy (read: "just pretty good") schools, and far lower taxes because they don't pass school bonds. [Title]

Output: The charter schools are


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Body] I'm not advocating. I'm trying to explain what's going on in my community. We have half as many kids as when all four schools were built, and one routinely has the air conditioning break down and leaks all the time. We pay out the nose in taxes for school bonds to make sure our schools have a huge flow of money, but we've been falling behind Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills lately even though we all do the bond thing to pay for public schools that equate to private schools. That's because they've downsized. BH went to one high school. Birmingham renovated both schools and sold off a big chunk of Groves (my alma mater) to be a Michigan State satellite. The competition for young families in these burbs is fierce and school quality is #1 on the list. So that's why this is coming up. Like anywhere in the Midwest there are some poorer and some richer neighborhoods, but on the whole we're talking about a pretty affluent, education-obsessed suburban community that built for the baby boom and has been a bit oversized ever since that ended. There's a social component, since over time the schools have tended to become somewhat racially and economically segregated. When we do inevitably downsize to three schools, I imagine it will be a good opportunity to undo that. [Title]

Output: I'm not advocating. I'm

Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Body] I couldn't take any more Buckeyes. All of our teams are going to have some of those stains on them--mine included--but at that point I needed to infuse the draft with some maize and blue, badly. Also keep in mind the people drafting have some access to practice reports, and lots of practice hearsay. Not saying practice equals game, but the more the coaches and other players keep telling friends, family, and anyone in earshot this guy is for real, the more I tend to believe it. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Body] When most of the games were at noon, and a few were still at 1? Hell no. I was a nice drunk like the rest of college students, but even I respected the "wait until you don't taste your toothpaste anymore before you have a beer" rule of morning drinking, and by the time the day was day enough to start imbibing you almost had time to finish two drinks before walking down to the stadium. The flasks (or in my case a bottle of coke that was 75% not coke) were the only way to get a buzz unless you were a truly committed drinker, and to be honest, we are all still University of Michigan students.

I remember a bunch of people sent in complaints (damn these people I thought at the time) after the 2003 Ohio State game. This one flag was pretty high up near the 35 yard line and was on a very long pole. I don't know why that game brought complaints--maybe the wind was up so the pole was being held lower than usual. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Toilet Paper Getting on TV was still a relatively new experience, and affecting what so many people were watching was kind of a thrilling thing. You'd see the rolls of toilet paper flying down after the first touchdown of the game and think to your young self "wow it would be so cool to be the guy who threw the toilet paper roll." It really did look festive, like instant confetti or ticker tape. Anyway they stopped when I was 8 or 9 so I never got to throw a roll of TP. Marshmallows I was definitely around for this tradition. It was 99% college students being inebriated (sneaking alcohol or a joint into the stadium was pretty easy pre-9/11) and wanting to throw something harmless. A lot of the mallows went at other students--friends sitting a few rows down and a section over, or a group of girls you walked in with. But there was a mini-game of trying to disrupt the TV crews and the opposing band with them. You tried to aim it so your mallow would pass as close to in front of the camera as possible to screw up their shot, or once they started to bring clear plastic shields, you tried to thunk it off the shield or lob it over. Also by the late '90s the TV crews had these big sound-catching clear plastic radar/dome things, which were as tempting as an opponent's sousaphone. I don't recall there being any real point to the marshmallows. Just a bit of goofy gameday atmosphere. [Title]

Also to those freaking out about the "fishnet" pattern, i've seen these and the UM version in person, and you literally cannot tell if you're more than 5 feet away from it. It's a functional fabric weave designed to NOT tear and stretch like the stuff adidas used to have. Seriously, its way better. And unless you're lining up across from them on the field, you won't be able to tell it's there. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Body] But that's apples and oranges though, since the Foamposites and Retro J's are exclusive, that's what makes them cool and desirable. A better comparison would be a Lebron or KD vs. a Hyperdunk, I'm pretty sure I know what they'd rather have. That being said, the exclusivity of the Jordan brand is gonna be pretty cool and give us some good exposure. And I'll also say Nike is a heck of a lot better at marketing their athletes/universities, hence why they sell a lot more. We'll see when the crop of young guys come up though, I think UA and adidas have both done a good job signing young up and coming talent. [Title]

Output: But that's apples and oranges


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Body] This is the case and how these contracts work. Again, it will be easier to analyze this once the details come out. Nike does sell better here in the US, that's a given. But to your point of the kids wanting KD's and Kobe's and such, that's becuase of the name attached to it. Kids want the Lebron's because they're Lebron's, not Nike's. This is part of the reason why adidas chose to let go of the NBA contract. People don't buy Kevin Durant jerseys because they love adidas, they do it because they love Kevin Durant. Similarly, (outside of the <.05% of the fan base that posts on here) people don't buy Michigan apparel because they love Nike or adidas, they do it because they love Michigan. These deals are far more valuable to the apparel companies than the schools, you'd be naiive to think otherwise. Now I'm not saying I don't expect to see a spike in apparel sales, I totally do and I think the fanbase as a whole is ready to move on from the DB/RR/Hoke era, and the Nike contract ushers in a fresh start. Will it make up for the money we left on the table with adidas? I HIGHLY doubt that, but it remains to be seen. The thing that scares me is that it's a 12 year deal. That's a long time. A lot can change in 12 years. 12 years ago Under Armour was just gaining momentum, and still was only making baselayer/compression gear. Look where they are now. Just something to think about.

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 2 days ago [Body] This has nothing to do with adidas. They will still be the supplier for the upcoming season. It likely has more to do with the "generic" numbers they had last year not being worn by prominent players this year for football, like 98 for example. And I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a new basketball template this season. [Title]

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I keep hearing this argument, but is there any actual proof of it happening before? Genuinely curious. It doesn't make sense to me that a brand like Nike or adidas would pull funding for an AAU team, consequently pissing off 10-20 members of their key demographic just because one player went to a school they don't sponsor.

Output: FWIW, I know someone who ran


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Where are you hearing this? One of the big reasons ND went with UA was that they wanted to have the largest contract in the NCAA, but adidas refused to make their deal worth more than Michigan's, whether through loyalty or contractual obligation. Also, when asked about the potential of more team/player sponsorships, UA's CEO said "we're not going to compete with our dumbest competitor." I think this kind of shows that company's direction, and I highly doubt more high profile college sponsorships are in their future. LINK to that story. [Title]

Input: [Date] 20 weeks 17 hours ago [Body] NIke is better based on what? I keep seeing the argument "Nike is clearly better" but have not seen any concrete reasons why other than "kids like it." You say that adidas sucks, but also say you only have ever bought one piece of apparel? I'm not saying everything they make is amazing but it's impossible to judge based on one item. And when we first signed the adidas contract, I would have agreed that Nike does make a superior product. adidas was crap up until about 2 1/2 years ago. But now, adidas has the top performance footwear on the market, hands down. And like it or not, tournament unis bring exposure to the brand. You're talking about it, and that was the goal. Remember when Nike had all of their schools wearing gray a couple years ago? People on here would have had a meltdown if that happened to us. There's also something to be said for being a company's flagship school. Given our recent success we'd be a middle tier Nike school at best. I mean look at Miami (YTM). They were the original sponsored school, but they've been down for a few years, Nike treats them like crap and they end up leaving for adidas. [Title]

Output: NIke is better based on

Input: [Date] 42 weeks 16 hours ago [Body] This captures my thoughts on the issue perfectly. However, I'd be utterly shocked if he does even ONE of the things on this list. I don't feel like I matter to the AD, and that's a problem. He takes this "this is big business, you wouldn't understand" attitude to things and it's very off-putting. I've never felt so disconnected from the program [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] Why? He is basically saying that the University has stripped everything away from games that made them fun and unique. If i want obnoxiously loud piped in music and advertisements at every stoppage of play, I can get that in the comfort of my own home by turning on the tv and cranking up the surround sound. The only difference is that I saved hundreds of dollars on parking, tickets, and absurdly overpriced food, and hours of time spent waiting in lines. The one thing I would miss out on by not going to the games now is the halftime show. And since they decided to turn that into an advertisement as well, i'm ok with missing it. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Body] It works the opposite way as well. If there is a designed run play, denard catches it, tucks it away and then runs. I wish he would sell it as a pass alittle more to get the LBs in motion. But the LBs see him put it away 5 yards behind the LOS and they come straight for him without hesitation. [Title]

Output: It works the opposite way as


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Body] My thought was to have DB step up and make a statement. If I were DB I'd put together a small commity and go find the biggest whale dc money can buy. I'd tell this dc that he can hire in who ever he wants and will have full control of the defense and will get 3 year deal reguardless of what happens with RR. I would then turn to RR and say I'm going to sign you for another two years on the basis that you have minimal input into the defense. With the idea you keep the sweet offense and make for a stable head coach situtation. You give the d the best chance at turning things around and you get the dc out from under RRs thumb. [Title]

Output: My thought was to have DB


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Body] Youth is the standard reason cited for this defensive down turn. I think its often overlooked that GERG has senior linbackers that he has personally been responsable for. He has also coached them for the last two years and they are just as bad as the young secondary. These are coachable problems too. Poor tackling, making bad reads, finding yourself out of position. There is alot of youth in the secondary and that does account for alot of the problem. However, pinning it all on that and then being unwilling to listen to anything else isnt the answer. In fairness, calling for RRs head every loss isnt the answer either. [Title]

Output: youth?

Input: [Date] 5 years 7 weeks ago [Body] I just dont get it. UM is struggling to stay relevant in football. We are quite frankly, the laughing stock of the Big Ten at this moment. I don't care if DD will go on to be genius. Is it any big suprise that a football player might be alittle underpar academically? I know it's a "no-no" to talk about, but what football team consists of nothing but legit 4.0 kids? Even Stanford will let a player slide if he's good enough. 5 star is pretty good....get him in here. I live in Columbus and i can tell you, bucks fans are having a good laugh at us right now. Not to mention the local radio stations have been reporting and literally laughing on air about it. Why wouldnt the university tell the admittion department to step aside on this one? He's kinda an important piece of the puzzle at the moment. Get picky when we are back to our winning ways and the 5 stars are lining up. [Title]

Output: I just dont get it. UM is


Input: [Date] 5 years 7 weeks ago [Body] I think some people have a distorted view of UM and the academics on a national scale. UM isnt lumped in with schools like Stanford. UM is considered by most to be a "good" school. 99.99999% of the world would say UM (in an academic sense) is on par with OSU or PSU. And schools like them are not only getting multiple 5 star recruits.....they are finding a way to get them admitted. We however get lucky enough to get a single 5 star to still come around and cant find a way to get him in? UM needs to find a way to get this kid cleared. We arent Northwestern. Who respects NW(in a football sense)? Thier football program is a joke and they arent even taken seriously. But ask an alumn and they'll defend with "but we have high standards". Is that what we are aspiring to? [Title]

Output: I think some people have a


Input: [Date] 5 years 18 weeks ago [Body] That still runs you into the problem i was refering to. If you wanted to listen to a talk radio show, you would have your amp and subs playing them talking. With a toggle, you can shut the sub and amp off so you can still listen to things with your regular speakers. As for the op, its a subjective thing. People have different opinions on whats best. Names like kenwood, JL, kicker, etc are all safe bets. [Title]

Output: That still runs you into the


Input: [Date] 5 years 18 weeks ago [Body] Yes, there are many combinations that can and will work together. Dont listen to the comment about how you should get an amp that doubles the max power your sub can handle. This is completely untrue and im not sure why it was said. Its pretty simple. rca's and remote from headunit to amp, power from amp to battery, ground from amp to your grounding point. Putting an inline fuse on your power will help protect your amp from being burnt up. The ground should never be smaller in gauge than the power. Also, its very important to use a very short ground. i never surpass 2ft personally. Once your all set up, you can adjust your system with the high and low pass knobs on your amp. Low pass up with high pass down means it'll be all bass and visa versa. Also, a toggle switch on your remote is a good idea.It makes turning the amp off easy and if your listening to talk radio for example, the amp isnt needed. Hope this helps some. [Title]

Output: Yes, there are many

Input: [Date] 5 years 24 weeks ago [Body] Years ago i had a friend that fell under the same circumstances. The teacher happened to be condescending and got kicks out of playing the tough guy role on his students. My friend asked politely to use the restroom and the teacher decided to poke him in the chest while stating "no, now introduce your backside to your seat". My friend pushed him out of the way to head towards the restroom and was suspended indefinently.He went on to get his GED, has a job,home and family now. He's never been in any sort of trouble since. My point is, without knowing the circumstances, I reserve any judgement. Although teens can and will make trouble, often times the teachers in high schools can be just as problematic.I don't think this single occurrence should give him the title of a trouble maker. He may well end up being an ideal student athlete. Even if this is a telling sign of this paricular kids attitude, who better to keep him on the straight and narrow then RR. [Title]

Output: This is good bit different


Input: [Date] 5 years 25 weeks ago [Body] I follow mma very closely. Walker was fighting what is known in the mma world as a "can". Someone who has no history of finishing fights. Nagy was there for the soul purpose of making Walker look good. Also consider that as mentioned, Strikeforce is far from the UFC. I've read a few interviews on the topic of mma vs more main stream sports, such as football. The popular opinion is that most really big athletic guys pursue a career in more mainstream sports. Which explains why the hw divisions are usually pretty thin in talent. The lighter the weight class, you'll notice a huge increase in talent and depth. This is explained by the fact that thier size isnt adequate for the nfl or nba. Thats the common theory at least. [Title]

Output: I follow mma very closely.

That's not the worry. Given the high profile of this site, can't you also see why some people who are just talking out their ass would like to be worshipped as some news-breaking inside source? Not saying that's the case with this guy, but I don't know either way. I'm not aware of him posting anything here before that had inside info like this. There was a guy last season saying stuff about the team, I think something about playbooks, that a bunch of people immediately took as gospel.

Or because he thought he wasn't being treated fairly and wanted to speak about it. He didn't bomb the whole program. He didn't go on a twitter war like that Illinois player. Pipkins said his piece and I have no problem with that. He's upset he's not playing football and not playing with his teammates anymore. This is not like Boren at all. Boren shit on all his teammates and transferred to OSU. You say he has no evidence, but his evidence is his own body. Yes, he may be wrong and living dangerously playing with multiple concussions, but he has a nervous system. He can feel. [Title]

Yes, there's some flopping in the NBA, but it's not that bad and it's fairly recent. And I don't watch the NBA anyway. Also, a guy flopping doesn't result in some 15-minute bullshit argument that stops the game for so long. It really wouldn't be that hard to cut down on it. Just need stronger diving rules, perhaps even after the game with some officials making the call. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 1 day ago [Body] "What does academic prestige do for an academic institution?" No, that's not my question. I worded it very poorly. What I should have said is how does being in the AAU raise their prestige? Does it actually make them a better university or have better professors? It seems a school joining the AAU just gets to now say it's an AAU member because you fit some criteria. Anyway, Nebraska isn't in the AAU. They were kicked out in 2011. So I guess the B1G doesn't actually have those standards anymore. Is Michigan really worse off because of that? http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/26078/nebraska-loses-aau-status Wikipedia's AAU page also lists them as former members so I guess nothing has changed. It seems Stanford and Cal do fine with their academic reputations without worrying about their football teams playing other football teams who attend schools that aren't as prestigious. [Title]

Output: "What does academic prestige

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Well, at least they were dominating the North division when they were there. And I think they can recruit better in the Big 12 because of the Texas connection. What does the academic prestige actually do to Nebraska in practical terms? I agree though all the reasons they left in the first place seem the same, mainly Texas.

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Yes, but with how ND has partially joined the ACC and conferences and conference championships seem very helpful for getting into the playoff, it seems things have changed. The thing about all the repeated attempts to get ND in the past is that nothing was any different year after year. Realignment and the playoff especially seem to have changed things. Would be great if we could replace Nebraska with ND. No idea about how open ND really is to it though. [Title]

Output: OK, Ace Williams.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Now this is something that can be evaluated. I wouldn't be very happy being a Bo Pelini Nebraska team. I wouldn't accept oversigning. What happened in the post Ace talked about? Eh, I thought it was bad. I'd definitely prefer that it doesn't happen and I'd hope Harbaugh would be put under some pressure. I would definitely accept a few recruits who the staff thought they don't need anymore because of higher-ranked guys knocking on the door if they had already committed. Would rather the staff waited until the next cycle to start picking higher-hanging fruit even if signing up a couple mediocre players cost us a win (don't see how it'd cost more than that for a couple guys who are just so-so). EDIT: Reading who Gameboy was originally replying to and what he said, I'm not sure we really disagree at all actually. I don't think Harbaugh should be fired if he does like he did in Stanford in 2010, but I would like to hear some pointed questions from the media that would cause him to back off of doing that in the future and hopefully a conversation with Hackett behind closed doors (that we would probably never catch wind of).

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Win what exactly? The Hoke question was a serious one. What win percentage or number of B1G titles over X number of years would you be happy with? Can you name a coach who is winning conference titles regularly that treats kids well according to your criteria? Again, it's great that you have standards, but it's easy to have standards on overcommitting without having standards on winning. Clearly teams who do shady shit are at an advantage. [Title]

Output: Win what exactly? The Hoke

It's the same looks I've gotten traveling in Asia, except, ya know, I was in America still. EDIT: Not that anyone cares but this must be some kind of record for me.

And I look forward to seeing #1 on a stud WR just like I'd like to see #2 on a great DB. I'm reminded of the great players of the past whenever I see somebody wearing a particular number (sorry all #7's are compared to Ricky Leach in my brain) and I don't see why we'd want that to end. I don't want us to go all New York Yankees so incoming players have to wear numbers like 61.5 or something cause everything else is now considered "sacred." Put a wall of honor or something up on the luxury boxes if we want to honor somebody (like Charles) further. But leave their numbers available for subsequent generations.

Output: Why doenst anyone ask Roger why HE refused to turn over his own cell phone during the Ray Rice "discipline" investigation? Why were the rules and presumed guilt different for the commish than for Brady? Look this witch hunt is fueled largely by jelousy from other teams over the Pats success and their desire to knock them down a peg or two. The two owners pushing the hardest for this to be upheld are Irsay (drug addict) and Bisciotti (who lobbied HARD for the Rice hand slap). What's even more galling are the various "NFL Insiders" who are pushing the party line that Brady MUST have done it, why else would he destroy his cell phone, who are nothing more than paid shills for the shield. Journalistic integrity and those pesky facts be dammed. Good for Tom to come out swinging and swing hard.

Output: I think Witz57 is bang on. I coached youth football for over 10 years with my two older boys but knowing now what I know about the cumulative effect of concussions I am NOT letting my 10 year old play until he's in 7th grade. That's five years, more or less, of reduced exposure to hits but also reduced exposure to learning so my guess is it's doubtful he'll want to play when he gets there and that's ok with me. The rest of your points: coaches, crazy parents, etc are also right on the money as well. Great post.

Input: [Date] 3 days 12 hours ago [Title] Let's see...... Starting [Body]

Output: Let's see...... Starting going to games in the early 70's when my brother was in dental school. Went to all games between 78-81 when in school and then again from 1987 to 2013 when I had season tickets so I guess the exact number would be a shit-ton. Or maybe a fuckload. Not sure exactly because I have to substract some bowl games we lost that I went to.


Input: [Date] 3 days 12 hours ago [Title] From your mouth to Bo's ears [Body]

Output: I'll turn into WD for a day if they actually do bring these back. I've been wanting to see them again for a long, long time.


Input: [Date] 3 days 13 hours ago [Title] Fastest Car 1/4 mile: 1965 [Body]

Output: Fastest Car 1/4 mile: 1965 GTO That car had a 389, tri-power, 4 speed and a 4:11 rear end. I had to shift out of first at 28 MPH and the top end was only about 100 or so but man oh man did we get there in a hurry. My 4 year old daughter at the time didnt like to ride in it because when I shifted "her neck got hurt" from the car sitting down and then exploding forward. And if you've never hear the sound of full throat Poncho tri-power you havent really lived. Fastest Car Top End: 2009 Cadillac CTS-V Offically listed at 580 HP but rumors said GM purposively under rated the HP as dino tests showed it well over 600 which is legitimately insane for a sedan. The car was supercharged (no spooling lag when you stomped it) and the power band was in the 50-130MPH range. I loved when dudes driving their hemi Challengers rolled up and wanted a go. All they saw was the tail lense of that Caddy as you literally had to hold on to something as it accelerated past 100. I think Car & Driver claimed the car could bump 200 MPH but my balls werent big enough to see that number. Fastest I got the car up to was 150 and my toes still curl thinking about that ride. Slowest Car: My wife's 2012 Mazda CX5 No power whatsover at any speed and in any circumstance. And the whine of the 4 banger when you floor it can only be described as annoying. To make matters worse she has personal tags "JillJoy" (her name) and a big "Inshapemom.com" sticker across the back window. I can tell you that when I have to drive it the looks I get from dudes passing me are priceless. You can see the dissapointment (and subsequent laughter) when they realize it's a guy driving the car and not a chick.

Input: [Date] 4 days 5 hours ago [Title] I noticed Michigan was [Body]

Output: I noticed Michigan was playing a team wearing red and white called "Wisc" that was a big W on their helmets. Who the hell is that?


Input: [Date] 4 days 5 hours ago [Title] Boy truer words have never [Body]

Output: Boy truer words have never been spoken. Or have they? Chocolate. But then the color orange and my Chevy truck were not all that they seemed to be now are they? And for that I thank her.


Input: [Date] 5 days 7 hours ago [Title] Common....who among us can [Body]

Output: Common....who among us can honestly say they haven't set fire to a family members garage because they wouldn't have sex with us? I know I'm sure not throwing the first rock in that particular glass house.


Input: [Date] 1 week 15 hours ago [Title] Wow [Body]

Output: York comparing Tomsula (who just might be the dumbest person I have ever had the pleasure of watching being interviewed) to Steve Kerr (who might be one of the brighest minds in the NBA) is nothing short of hilarious.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] Dennis was our version of this [Body]

Output: Lots of hype - lots of flash but sadly, not much in the way of production. Seemed like a good dude, I join others in wishing him well


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] Cause I grew up in Pontiac. [Body]

Output: Cause I grew up in Pontiac. Actually I forgot the Lions-they would be ahead off the Wings on my list and right behind the Browns. Lived here in Ohio since 87 but I'm I Michigander at heart.

Output: Well MY generation loves, loves, LOVES us some Adidas.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] As one of the more vocal "why [Body]

Output: As one of the more vocal "why are they doing this shit again" posters re Draftegeddon I can say that BiSB's explanation of the concept makes me look at it completely differently and now I actually kinda enjoyed it. Previously I looked at it as I would a fantasy football draft (the title of the piece sort of makes you think that) and it made zero sense to me. Why would anybody be picking offensive & defensive lineman for God's sake? Now it's just a B1G players preview with snark!


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] I read the article and [Body]

Output: I read the article and thought his analysis was bang-on. Care to share which part of it you took issue with? Look the message is painful but true. Our OL SUCKED two years ago and got a little better last year but still has a long way to go. And I dont care if the author of that statement is the corpse of Woody Hayes himself - it's sadly true.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] It works the opposite way as [Body]

Output: It works the opposite way as well. If there is a designed run play, denard catches it, tucks it away and then runs. I wish he would sell it as a pass alittle more to get the LBs in motion. But the LBs see him put it away 5 yards behind the LOS and they come straight for him without hesitation.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] My thought was to have DB [Body]

Output: My thought was to have DB step up and make a statement. If I were DB I'd put together a small commity and go find the biggest whale dc money can buy. I'd tell this dc that he can hire in who ever he wants and will have full control of the defense and will get 3 year deal reguardless of what happens with RR. I would then turn to RR and say I'm going to sign you for another two years on the basis that you have minimal input into the defense. With the idea you keep the sweet offense and make for a stable head coach situtation. You give the d the best chance at turning things around and you get the dc out from under RRs thumb.


Input: [Date] 4 years 41 weeks ago [Title] youth? [Body]

Output: Youth is the standard reason cited for this defensive down turn. I think its often overlooked that GERG has senior linbackers that he has personally been responsable for. He has also coached them for the last two years and they are just as bad as the young secondary. These are coachable problems too. Poor tackling, making bad reads, finding yourself out of position. There is alot of youth in the secondary and that does account for alot of the problem. However, pinning it all on that and then being unwilling to listen to anything else isnt the answer. In fairness, calling for RRs head every loss isnt the answer either.
