Output: Currently watching the BTN Big Ten Elite show on the 2013 runner up team. Loved the win, but there is definitely something missing from the team this year. I will say though that I really liked to see MAAR do his thing tonight. He's definitely an addition to this team, and I'm excited to see what he's made of once he grows some confidence and realizes he can really help this team.

Input: [Date] 29 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Do you seriously think [Body]

Output: Do you seriously think Alabama doesn't redshirt any of their players? A team like Alabama who not only recruits well but also develops well should have very few freshmen play in a given year because their depth chart is stacked with talented guys who have been developed. You are wasting years of players' eligibility (and player development) by burning through redshirts just because "it's not what elite programs do." So much wrong with this one.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm pretty sure the majority [Body]

Output: I'm pretty sure the majority of the fan base, especially those who paid attention to recruiting, had a difficult time not seeing a future filled with success after that BCS win. I think that was a fair assessment given the success he had in his first year at UM. That's what fan bases do; success results in more success, and failure results in more failure. We live by the day way above what reality tells us where nothing is guaranteed. That's one reason there's so much emotion put into each win and loss by fans.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Not only that, but he will [Body]

Output: Not only that, but he will also force other teams to make changes because he will make them look terrible in comparison.

Output: Well sonofagun I already did my Christmas shopping. Must return gifts and repurchase now. On a semi-notsureifserious note, what if everyone on this board purchased some junk on Amazon through the mgoAmazon link.. that of course they were going to purchase anyway... and Brian set up a "Come Home Harbaugh" fundraiser via those funds. Think it could do some (positive) damage? I am not the creative type to come with what kind of legal actions could be done with such money, but Harbaugh's got to have some sort of Christmas wish list that we could partially fulfill. Dumb idea? Yeah thought so k thanks bye.

Output: Democratic vote... yes... I like. And of course, the coaches have no say in whether or not they are hired.

Output: We have non conference wins against Oregon and Syracuse not to mention a near win against Villanova. I think we are just hitting some growing pains with this young team - WE WILL BE FINE. If you think we are going to hit 20% from 3 all year... Coached by Sir Beilein... You're dang nuts. Defense looked good against a good shooting team. Once Harbaugh is announced as our new football coach, this team will come back to life. Of course if he isn't, well... Then God help us all.

Output: Isn't it odd that this thread was created by Coach Schiano, who is supposedly doing everything in his power to fill the coaching vacancy other than physically and forcefully planting his body in Hoke's office and refusing to leave until he's hired (or arrested)?


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I don't think I cold have [Body]

Output: I don't think I cold have wanted one coach to be successful more than Brady Hoke. Such a classy guy, and you knew his influence on his players went well beyond the football field. Classy, classy man who truly cared for the University and his players. Really wish this could have worked out. He deserved any recognition he received today as his mark on those players is way more important in the grand scheme of things than the wins and losses.

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Seriously Name one person that vacations in Georgia? Savannah is it, and the reality is it's the only thing in Georgia to stop and see... Athens, yes, because everyone wants to live in the middle of the deep south 4hrs from a beach, 105 degrees, 95% Humidity and then at night it's still 85 degress and now 99% humidity. Oh and it gets better, when you walk outside, your instantly covered in sweat, not the good kind because it's so humid it forms a layer of slime on you. Georgia, cause everyone loves having to stay inside all day in the summer cause it's a 1000 degrees and you can't cool down cause your pool is 95 degrees..........Yeah, been there and as I said one place to visit and that's it. [Title]

Output: everyone loves 100 degrees and 95% humidity in june too..


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Nussmeier is the new OC at Florida, for a new staff and most recruits are quite familiar with the Alabama run game's dominance under Nussmeier as OC so there is no doubt that was sold to him. Add to that, our staff already has 3 rb commits even if two of them end up at fb ..... that's crowded for one class alone without adding a 4th rb. [Title]

Output: Not surprising


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Remove Helmets and start taking money out of players pockets for leading with their heads. By removing money I mean, suspension for intentional helmet hits, offensive players too for droping their heads for hits. And not the same as the drug policy but after so many personal fouls for helmet to helmet up the suspension to 2 games no pay. Then force players to sit for caused concussions resulting from an intentional helmet to helmet hit, ie a caused concussion equals 2 games for the offending player. Also, get even more strict on the launch hits. I still see a number that aren't called. It's the only way to fix the issue. The other thing, any failed ped tests should limit liability for this. I still say believe players are juiced and it's a major cause for the severity of injuries, namely head injuries in football. Players want the nfl to pay for head injuries then they should subject themselves to even more ped testing. [Title]

Output: Remove Helmets


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Imho officiating would have a lot to do with Kentucky losing. Meaning this team just bullies opponents inside. So, unless we get a crew that is calling a tight game against a solid shooting opponent like Duke, Virginia, Wisconsin, Arizona and maybe a couple others, Kentucky is going to roll this tournament. Kansas, being the next best team in that bracket is weak. They don't play consistent ball at all and do not have a player capable of taking over a game against Kentucky. If they make it at all. ND doesn't have the size to stay with kentucky so they get rolled if they make it. By bracket, Kentucky is automatically in the final 4, so imho it's a 2 game tournament for Kentucky. [Title]

Output: kentucky...vs the field, take kentucky

Input: [Date] 1 year 17 weeks ago [Body] The spring game which is realy a glorified practice is not the place to determine anything about the 2014 team. Talk to anyone that has attended an actual practice to tell you the story rather than reading something from someone who never attended any of the practices. Don't take too much out of spring because after spring summer workouts and fall camp you will then find out who has put the time in all off season. Spring you get some info on what is going on. Best news out of spring is the dline looks far better as a group right now and the players fitting the responsibilities of the 4-3 over better has payed off for them. So, we will wait till the first game of the season and see how that matches up. O Line has been hit/miss but will wait and see again. [Title]

Output: The spring game/practice


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] Funny and intense. Very good technically and demands those guys block. Should see blocking video they had of gallon, he embarrassed a lot of corners and safeties thinking they would take him. Finally happy about where the wr corp is skill wise compared to the lats 6yrs... [Title]

Output: Heck is a great coach


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Body] In sports you earn/win your respect. Florida is getting respect due to how they are playing and the fact their coach has to titles. They have done it. Ky is getting respect because the program is tops in bball, and they just won a title 2yrs ago and have top talent now, just very young and you see them growing up infront of us this tournament and the sec tournament. Michigan, hasn't seen a ton of respect this tournament namely becuase the 3 stars from last yr's run are either in the nba, or injured now, mcgary! So looking at our games agianst msu and wisconsin it's obvious our team can be pushed inside. Hence, tennessee being the popular pick due to their length at the perimeter and strength of their inside game. Msu, getting a ton of respect now getting their top inside players back and msu looking like an izzo team again. Like ky, they are playing very well and the team has taken big steps the last few weeks. Hence they became the hot pick to win it all. Wisconsin, has beaten 2 teams nobody thought they actually would given the matchups. Big10 just earned a ton of respect all 3 beating teams that were considered tough matchups for each team. All 3 into the elite 8! They won the nations respect as a conference. I'll say this, it doesn't matter who wins the national title as far as conference strength is concerned. I never got that arguement... alabama wins in football to me has no bearing. Fsu won it in football this yr and doesn't remotely convince me that the acc was the best. This yr sec 0-2 in bcs games and acc is 2-0 with the national title...who here thinks the acc is a better football conference? Same in basketball... Florida could win the tournament or kentucky, wouldn't remotely convince me the sec is a better bball conference than big10, big12, acc or pac12! [Title]

Output: Win respect


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] Never heard of CJ's, right now way to many craft brews out to try them all. Being from Cincy I am trying to get through all the local breweries that have popped up as well as some of the top national craft brews. Bells, Centennial, 3 Floyds, Michigan is well represented nationally..., I have heard there are a few more to try that arent national. Cincinnati has, Madtree, 50 west, Rivertown, Rinegheist, Mt. Carmel and a few others that are just excellent breweries! Still, I always find my way back to Sam Adams Boston Lager and Guiness....... [Title]

Output: Tried centennial, like two hearted much better


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] All I can tell you is I have been to spring practice with maizeman, know him and he does work for the athletic department which is how he is in. He expresses his views from what he see's. Coachbt, he is a hs coach from the toledo area that attends every coaches clinic and also gets to attend a couple practices as a result. Eroc, knows maizeman and has gone to many practices via maizman. They all have developed relationships within the athletic department. I have met many other posters that attend the coaches clinic, that have ties to the athletic department via friendships of ad employees, former players, coaches and boosters. Know a couple that are big boosters. Am I an insider, not remotely. But as I stated last yr I did go to a couple practices with maizeman and know very well he has access to the staff, players and practices as it isn't a claim it is a fact. The guys that want to insult my writing, wgaf what you think, I shared something I have actually seen, know and witnessed. You, you bitch and complain about others who shared and wasn't trying to charge anyone money for doing so. So, wtf ever [Title]

Output: Me, nobody, maize man, not sure,


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] I stated an undefeated osu should have been in over a 1 loss sec team. That I stated, that I believe of any bcs team. If you are going to post my thoughts at least know them. I stated the sec is over rated in that 1 loss sec teams deserve to be in the title game over undefeated teams. Get your head out of your tail about my thoughts. [Title]

Output: You don't know what I thought!


Input: [Date] 1 year 21 weeks ago [Body] And you guys insult their writing and analysis. Kind if does... reeealllyl.... I went to spring practice last yr with maizeman. He does have access. The two practices I saw last yr, Ross was playing awesome and was the best defensive player on the field. I got to see Countess doing drills and knew last yr was going to be rough as a man corner for him. Offense, Darboh and Chesson looked better than Funchess....and you didn't see Gallon do anything. Jake Ryan was on crutches and he was everywhere encouraging the defense and lbers.... So, while you all accuse them of knowing nothing I can vouch for them not that it means anything as I don't personally know any of you all. But, everything i saw fit to what happened last season. Run game sucked, interior oline just wasn't what I thought it would be and the dt's were a work in progress. Honestly last season I was fooled by the nd game though. I thought they would lose that game and end up with 10 wins losing to either Osu or Nw as the other loss opposite nd. I thought nd was better than what they showed in that game. Ross was not close to the player he showed in spring, Darboh's injury really hurt, oline burzynski's injury really hurt. Bosch was the best technically of all the tr fr and rs fr oline, however Braden was physiclaly awesome and starting at LG all spring. That was last yr... So, reports on spring practices remember, they are practicing against their own team and get used to the calls of the other side of the ball and the player infront of them. So, you have to take it with a grain of salt and realize the reports are just that. Mixed opinions of what they see. I was at practice and had some disagreement maizeman's analysis. But that is also why I try to put what coach bt says along with maizeman and come up with what's in the middle. Both attend practices, both know the coaching staff far more than you guys would like to admit. So sit back, enjoy your beer threads, btw, bells two harted, madtree gnarly brown and guiness are still the best beers on the planet! [Title]

Output: and you guys insult their writing…..


Input: [Date] 1 year 28 weeks ago [Body] All of them said the same things. Coaches push them to get better, if you only were bigger, if you were just a bit stronger if you were quicker, faster.... Always pushed them and compared to best players on the team. Natural right... the message would be clear, get better or go elsewhere... it's up to you... They would make sure they knew well in advance of testing. Don't fail the tests, we don't want any athlete failing tests... this is when the test is... don't fail the tests.. continually repeated over and over adnauseum. They would also say, you could tell who was and who wasn't. Abnormal weight gain is not going from hs s&c to college elite s&c. Normal weight gain is about 15lbs of muscle over 1yr period of time. 20 can happen but he had to work out a whole heck of a lot more than just the last 4 months from january through spring ball!!! Guys putting on weight is normal, 25+ lbs of ripped shredded weight and he is juiced! But there are a lot more ped's than just testosterone. Hgh, blood doping for endurance, beta blockers for focus that many qb's will use, students will use... which I have no problem with.. but they all use them. [Title]

Output: Have known a few d1 players that used.


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] All that said, it doesn't matter urban was never going to suspend any other player further! Either the big ten was going to, uhmm nope, or it wasn't happening so we all knew it wasn't happening. [Title]

Output: What desmond said is right..


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] Is the increase for more support staff needed? I wouldn't think everyone just received a 62% pay increase though some may have been given a pay increase to match the going rate of their position. In that case it is needed... for any and all. For me the questions are.. Is the ad financially living within the budgets set? Are they making more money than they are spending? Are building for the success of the athletic programs now and in the future? And last, with the expansion of the athletic campus and all the related projects have they been able to meet the financial burden of those projects and continue to sustain for the future. The obvious to that is yes. It has to continue as well. I am sure that Brandon and company see what concerns the donors/alumni/ticket holders have. I would bet they will be quick to back off it they reach the tipping point. Something was posted on another board via an alumni function last spring where Dave Brandon spoke. At length he spoke about the goals of winning the bigten, bcs and national title in football as the best ways to increase revenue and the last one by far has the biggest impact. He cited the effect it had on other universities that have won football national championships and how much it increased cash flow into the athletic department of those schools. So, that is the goal..... [Title]

Output: ad ...


Input: [Date] 1 year 34 weeks ago [Body] Our school hosted them, allowed them field passes for the game which is impossible to get and got face time with Hoke on the day of the game. The family, osu fans/grads yeah they could have taken the osu hats off but who cares about that to be honest. imho it showed michigan is above all that! [Title]

Output: Consider, Michigan hosted them


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Body] Such a huge win and those players all came up big! Rewatching that game I forgot how beat up the team was. LT Backus didn't play, adami was playing injured and quite immobile. Howard was out, streets was battling a hammy. Forgot all about that........ Reminds me of how good they were to keep overcoming everything. On offense, overcame some bad turnovers and field position the 2nd half. Got enough points with limited offense and still won. Defense just took over that game! [Title]

Output: Remember that game...


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Far too many athletic depts have done this and pro teams as well...... A friend of mine a 20yr season ticket holder for the bengals of all teams had good seats and paid the psl when they built pbs in cincy. He paid that psl and then got moved to lesser seats only to find the corperate buyers were buying blocks of good seats and he got moved as a result...add to that, they didn't refund the difference in the psl they charged to the rate for the seats he was given. I haven't heard michigan do this to season ticket holders yet so long as they paid the donation...however it has been done I am sure. Really sucks..... [Title]

Output: steveinpa


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] who are illogical anyway.............................that would have been the response of many fanbases around the country no matter the university. Heck, athletes get accused of rape and I see message board posters saying the girl deserved it, led him on, what ever else.........you get alot of fair responses...........my response always is, lets wait to find out what actually happened, if he did it, by all means put him in prison and let the legal system handle it.....if he didn't do it, lets not assassinate his character, but lets not do that till we find out. [Title]

Output: you are talking about fans


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] You used ohio st... so lets review... Ncaa investigates and there is clear evidence that the Head coach lied, covered up student athletes actions to keep them eligible to win more football games to make a bcs bowl or bcs championship game. Ncaa, did they follow their own by laws to punish ohio st? No, they let ohio st walk with minimal penalty as the head coach clearly broke the rules. What did ohio st do, they fired the head coach and said this is all on him. Ncaa what did they do, they gave minimal punishment and didn't at all charge ohio st with the crime of lack of institutional control as defined by a coach knowing about extra benefits and hiding them. No, they got minor charges a few scholarships and a 1 year bowl ban. So, now let me add, North Carolina with proven academic fraud, Auburn had a players family take nearly $200,000 that we know and the ncaa dismissed the investigation, Oregon paying people to send recruits to their school, Miami fl and that fiasco and several more I am forgetting to mention............................... The ncaa cannot even keep it's own house clean and yet you and everyone else thinks it's okay for them to punish pennst for something that didn't involve a single student athlete, or coach at the university. Now, before you rip me, Sandusky was not a football coach when the known incident happened. Now, the ncaa jumping in on this is like the department of education going and grabbing a drug dealer and stealing, ie fining him every dime he has because he sold drugs on school grounds before the fbi could arrest him.............it isn't their jurisdiction no matter the crime commited. Even worse it was obvious what the ncaa's motive was, and it sure as heck wasn't to do the right thing. The right thing Pennst, should have settled immediately with all victims and offered every victim full tuition education or pay off all student loans for those who already had grown and gone to college. Pennst should have offered to pay for or repay all expenses for therapy incurred to the victims. IE, pennst needs to make it right for the victims completely, that is the right thing to do. Ncaa, had no business in this, they had no intention of doing any thing right for the victims and their fighting with the state of pa over the 60million proves I am right. They thought they had a money grab and I am glad the state of pa shoved that right up the ncaa's arse and said no, that money will stay in state and go to childrens charities. Pennst the unveristy should pay a price, but rather it's football or not idk, I first and foremost believe the punishment should have come from the dept of education and dept of justice to put away those responsible and then put down further punishment on the university as they saw fit. [Title]

Output: I somewhat agree here but....


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] But I thik it's retarded to punish the football program and fanbase, alumni and everyone else involved with football or the university that had zip to do with this, which is everyone outside of the few people that actually knew and 4 in charge that could have done something about it. The rioting that is the football culture of not wanting to believe the icon had something to do with covering it up. A case, although extremely weak that paterno reported it to superiors is true but he also was proven to have influenced not reporting it to 2nd mile and to the state police and arresting sandusky......so that blows that out of the water. My opinion of Joepa is forever changed as his rep was built on great character the do it right kind of person to lead young men. That's gone, but it doesn't mean the university shouldn't be able to move on and build what should have been. Pennst deserves punishment and has got that punishment from the ncaa, I just don't think the ncaa had any business or place doing it. IE, they went to clean pennst's house and they can't even clean their own as though they had moral authority. Tell me when the ncaa went to nd, msu or any other campus to investigate sex crimes alleged by athletes? The dept of justice and dept of education are the entities that should have handled this and should have told the ncaa to get out of their way period. On another note, before anyone goes high moral standard about pennst and covering this up, the very reason the laws about reporting sex crimes on any federal funded university, high, middle or elementary school is in the books is because of this very reason. How many times have we heard complaints over the years of colleges sweeping rapes under the rug to keep crime statistics down. That happened at so many places across the country it is disgusting, and just as disgusting as what happened at pennst. Or athletes raping girls and getting away with it and the girls intimidated or forced to leave school for their safety all to protect the program because said player may help them win games. Those are the reasons these laws do exist. But has the ncaa ever investigated one of those that are actually involving student athletes? Never, so a case they had no business in they jumped on for media attention and a 60 million dollar money grab. Yes that money was forced to stay in the state of pa and that was after the state told the ncaa it wasn't allowing that money to go elsewhere as all funds at psu are considered state funds if the university is to pay out money. The ncaa in it's briliance tried to argue it was athletic dept funds not univerisity funds. So you see where their real motive was! [Title]

Output: I don't feel bad for pennst, nor am I crying a river for them


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] From 2002 Pennst, namely the 4 people who allowed it are culpable. Not the 40,000 who had nothing to do with this as they can't do a dang thing about rumor or innuendo, but the people who had real knowlege, Spanier, Shultz, Paterno, McQueary and his dad and one other I am forgetting could have, should have and didn't! They are the ones to be punished, put in prison for a cover up. Punishing the football program and saying the ridiculous things about blowing up the stadium is just retarded. It doesn't do a dang thing to fix what happened or punish the actual cuplprits. As they are the ones who allowed Sandusky to use the brand, facilities and anything else. 60million was only to stay in the state for children after the state of pa said it wasn't leaving and told the ncaa as much. Ncaa tried to fight it, so what does that tell you about their motive. 2002 was a real incident, no more rumor and inuendo. And the people that covered it up need to pay the price, I will always say that. They deserve prison as well, all of them. Just like anyone who knew a Michigan professor was harboring child porn....should pay the price. Not the pennst program that had nothing to do with this. [Title]

Output: I realize my opinion isn't popular that's fine


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Ncaa was way out of bounds to punish PSU as not one single by-law was broken regarding student athletes. Second, Ncaa had zero interest in what was right. They saw a money grab, ie $60 million dollar fine! For what? To go to who, to do what with? Tell me I am wrong cause they sure as heck was not giving a dime of that money to the victims. Not one person of the 4 who knew of the incidents are around at all. NCAA went back to 1998 which was bs because that investigation found nothing and Sandusky was forced to step down. There was nothing anyone could do legally at that point. The legal system coudln't do anything so what was pennst going to do other than what they did at that point. 2002 the McQueary deal, from then on Jopa and company were responsible for covering up for a friend. It had nothing to do with protecting football as the ncaa had no boundary. And if paterno turns in a friend then and the chief of campus police acts, they are hero's for doing the right thing.....and what would have happened to football? Nothing, so stop the bs it was to protect football it was to protect a life long friend by joepa. Pull your heads out of the cloud that the culture of football did this, it was one friend protecting another cause nothing else was on the line. That happens every day in our society across many fronts including criminal. Ncaa is a joke, I hope pennst sues and wins against the ncaa. Now, Pennst deserves to face what ever punishment as a university from the Dept of Education for not reporting this as required by law. But again, why punish anyone and everyone who is not there for something that they didn't do. Who deserves to be punished. Joepa, and the other 3 that covered this. Not the 40,000+students and facualty. Not the football players and coaches that have nothing to do with this. And I read tear down beaver stadium, seriously. Michigan just had a professor with child porn that wasn't immediately reported, uhmmm do you want to destroy the entire university and rip building down by building for this? Cause that is illogical thinking. Oh, Sandusky, lets not forget, he is the criminal and deserves life in prison and everything that goes with that. EIther general population or solitary, idk either way...... [Title]

Output: Ncaa is full of it and needs to be sued!


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Glassgow didn't help chip, push the nt, Miller was beat at the snap by the nt, the de gets upfield and holds contain forcing the play to stay inside. Kalis is lost and doesn't know wtf to do and doesn't block anyone.... If Kalis sets the backside block there is a cutback for Fitz and a good lane there as well. If Glassgow helps chip on the nt and gets the nt flowing without penetration then he can scrape to the lber. If Kalis blocks his lber or finds someone to block there is a cut back. If the TE gets to the de and doesn't let him penetrate the hole to go through is either much bigger or there is room for Fitz to bounce. No matter what, this play was blown up from the snap! This happened all game long! [Title]

Output: just say it


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Players in Husker history! 2 national titles, a 3rd nc game that was a missed fg from winning 3 straight and would have been 3 straight undefeated seasons! There is no doubt he has the ears of the husker fanbase and boosters/alumni! But, Tom Osbourne isn't the head coach and this isn't the days of the husker option attack. Actually, they got rid of Solich 2yrs too early as they could have waited this thing out and they would have been running the Read Option spread game better than anyone! Instead they ditched all of it, all of their old recruing grounds for Callahan! They need a head coach and assistant coaches that have recruiting cache again that can grab texas talent like they used to. Pelini, he could be a dead man walking if they don't compete for a bigten title! [Title]

Output: Frazier was one of the most successfull


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] Lots of brass, lots of music loudly...btw, my wife asked what cartoon music they were playing when they started the nd victory march....I busted out laughing cause she had no idea and was serious. [Title]

Output: Nd's band is what 430 members...


Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Body] Texas will likely be open as will Usc. Also consider Saban's family, they moved from East lansing to baton rouge in 2000, to Miami in 2004 to Alabama in 06/07, I don't think the family wants to move and establish all new relationships right now........with all new unreal expectations in a building process, again. Jmho, Saban has reached the summit of coaching in college and the only thing left is the nfl and he isn't going back. [Title]

Output: No way Saban leaves Bama


Input: [Date] 2 years 7 weeks ago [Body] What are their measures though? IMO the measure should be for 3 types of games... #1 Biggest Rival game, what is the atmosphere or what ever the biggest game every year is.... #2 What is the normal atmosphere for a conference game, the avg game say iowa or northwestern, solid opponent. #3 What is it for the gimme games.... is the place dead or are the fans still rocking..... Pennst has the best atmosphere for a big night game, and imho that is best in the country. That said, I think Michigan's night game for ND was better than Osu's big night game for Texas or Usc... that said, Osu has a great atmosphere and nobody can deny that. I will say this, Pennst has the most fun fans in cf, I have been around them for games at Michigan and seen them at Happy Valley and they have a good time. Osu fans are just overall pissy either way... good atmosphere but man they live and die with each individual play... and their games against bad opponents that place is a tomb...and most are. Michigan #1, osu/nd environment is entirely different, namely osu... far more intense for a home game against either of these teams. #2 Very middle of the pack in the bigten for an avg home game...crowd gets loud for 3rd downs and intimidating but why not on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and even 4th down... Seriously... Osu/nd crowd is intense every play, every down....but not for the avg team.... #3 Lets never play eastern again...nobody wants that game and fans barely stand for the victors... I don't care what they say, in 2007 the attendance was not 100,000, I would put it closer to 80,000..........so middle of the pac of bigten teams here as well. Michigan, basically for Big games.... is up with Pennst, and Ohio st for best envirionments....for #2 and 3 avg about #5.... Bigten overall #1 big game environment.. Pennst, Michigan, Ohiost and Nebraska as tops... #2 avg conf opponents Wisconsin, Pennst, Ohio st, Nebraska, Michigan, Iowa in order... #3 Wisconsin, Nebraska, Pennst, Ohio st, Michigan, Iowa.... Jmo but those are the order and it changes based upon opponent... Measureing Pennst's biggest night game to a noon game for michigan against iowa is not a measurement of environment... Otherwise just compare same game situations... [Title]

Output: what is the measure though?


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] 2011 was incomplete only because of the state yr. And, I know many will laugh because our team was no where near ready for it....but consider the fact that they were literally a couple plays from being undefeated..........Iowa was quite literally 2 plays... and Msu was the same, quite literally a couple plays.......... None of us would have thought they were ready but...from my perspective at that time it let me put the burden down of the RR era.. Also, I carry nothing from 2004 - 2006 I really didn't. From 2007 though, it felt like an eternity...like being on the ship going down and you can't fix it.....you know you have a life raft and will be fine but you can't fix it.............that was 2007-2010 for me............... [Title]

Output: I just quit carrying that burden....


Input: [Date] 2 years 8 weeks ago [Body] Virginia, Vatech, Washington/Wazzu..Oregon/Oregon St, Cal Stanford, zona / asu and others. Best instate though is Bama, Auburn for intensity... but overall I can't think of a great instate with the competitive balance of good great programs. [Title]

Output: others


Input: [Date] 6 days 15 min ago [Title] Sam Webb has been out of the [Body]

Output: Sam Webb has been out of the loop for the last six months and is quickly losing value as an insider. Everyone else seems to be in agreement that Nuata is more or less done to Georgia and Upshur just canceled his announcement so he can go visit FSU again. This is all bad for Michigan.


Input: [Date] 6 days 21 min ago [Title] Hope he is good. In video [Body]

Output: Hope he is good. In video posted his handles don't look great and quality of competition seems lacking but if Beilien likes him then hopefully that is good enough.


Input: [Date] 6 days 16 hours ago [Title] The list of successful [Body]

Output: The list of successful players who are also successful coaches is pretty short. Being a good player doesn't mean being a good coach.


Input: [Date] 6 days 22 hours ago [Title] luckily for michigan the big [Body]

Output: luckily for michigan the big ten is a pretty easy conference. So starting 2-2 doesn't kill the season.


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] Said on missing out on Hill. [Body]

Output: Said on missing out on Hill.


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] One of the greats and [Body]

Output: One of the greats and greatest of all time is two completely different statements. Brady is one of the greats but isn't the greatest of all time. Both are true statements. But of the QB's listed Brady might have had the most help of any of those guys for most of his career. Elite defenses for the first half of his career, one of the best coaches of all time, his best year included maybe the most physically gifted wr of all time, etc.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Last time I checked Brady [Body]

Output: Last time I checked Brady didn't win any super bowls playing for Michigan and the Patriots don't play in Detroit. I get liking Brady but he didn't cement his legacy as a great qb while at michigan.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Always a great way to land a [Body]

Output: Always a great way to land a recruit when it is because osu doesn't care because they think they can get better players but whatever he seems good so I'll be happy if he ends up here. Peoples-Jones is about as close to a must get as any recruit could ever be. In-state 5 star who is probably a top 10 player in the country with two parents who went to Michigan at a position of extreme need where early playing time isn't a bad sign. If he goes anywhere else it is a problem.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Montana was better, Marino [Body]

Output: Montana was better, Marino was better, Manning was better.He may be tied for the most accomplished quarterback but he isn't the best. If you had the oporutnity to draft every qb at their prime brady wouldn't be the first one taken. It is that simple.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] lol at Brady being the [Body]

Output: lol at Brady being the greatest of all time.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] I'm saying we also do shady [Body]

Output: I'm saying we also do shady shit. Clemson has had a clearly better last decade of football.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Hey guys, hate to burst your [Body]

Output: Hey guys, hate to burst your bubble but so does Michigan.


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Biefeldt is gone because if [Body]

Output: Biefeldt is gone because if he is getting more than 5 minutes a game we are not beating good teams. It is that simple. The bar is set higher than what he can provide.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] Shocking that the pre-season [Body]

Output: Shocking that the pre-season national championship favorite would be the most talented team in an otherwise shitty conference. OSU might take like 5 players from the rest of the conference combined as starters. They probably have the most talented player at every position on the field in the big ten. Doesn't mean we can't beat them, but they are the better team on paper and most likely in reality also.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Man people are getting so [Body]

Output: Man people are getting so salty about this. They had hundreds of things on sale over the course of the day including some desirable stuff over 50% off. Sure things sold out but that is because they had a lot of people interested. They sold more stuff than black friday so clearly enough people found things they liked. It also caused walmart and bestbuy to also put things on sale, between those 3 places you could get most items on sale for most of the day. How is that bad? Amazon never has and never will do a 20% off everything sale and anyone expecting that was bound to be disspaointed. Prime is an amazing deal between the free movies and free 2 day shipping plus random deals throughout the year. Not sure why people are so upset at Amazon for including things like diapers in their sale rather than just putting up fun toys. If you were stocking a kitchen or had a baby yesterday was great. Not every sale is about getting a new tv.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] That tweet is a stupid [Body]

Output: That tweet is a stupid response. No way is saying UA is a threat to Nike next year. UA barely existed when current high school seniors were born so Nike still being liked better isn't shocking. But UA's growth has been pretty big and they are just entering the shoe market now and have Steph Curry to market it. They also have Spieth signed to a 10 year contract in golf as well and a bunch of baseball players including Bryce Harper. They've done a really good job of getting in on big young stars for marketing purposes and that will pay dividends. Plus with Notre Dame, Auburn, South Carolina, Maryland, Northwestern, etc they have a pretty good toe hold in college athletics for being a still young company.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] While we are at it other [Body]

Output: While we are at it other annoying things from uva. Wearing ties to football games and pretending to ignore that the University of Maryland has the largest mall in the country, not UVA.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Stop saying grounds. Its a [Body]

Output: Stop saying grounds. Its a fucking campus. Also when I was there for a model un conference in high school we went to the white spot and it was pretty good. Plus as the only predominatley black school at the conference we found it funny in a "uva frats have been known to make their pledges but on black face and pick cotton and they have a restaurant called the white spot" sort of way."


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] If you can get it do FIOS [Body]

Output: If you can get it do FIOS build your own package and do the sports packages, that is what I do. If not anything but comcast is the way to go.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Thats not really true for [Body]

Output: Thats not really true for graduate schools. In state tuition (as in just straight tuition) at michigan $26,367 for in state $27,867 for out of state. You save a whopping $1,500 a year. Harvard on the other hand is $57,200 so going to public school over private might make financial sense. As far as I can tell Georgia in state is a litte over $19,000 for in state. My guess is people aren't making the decision to stay in state in Georgia vs going to Michigan because of $7,000 a year but maybe I am wrong.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] According to US news which is [Body]

Output: According to US news which is whatever but an easy baseline OSU is the 18th best public school in the country and Georgia is the 20th, not a huge jump there in terms of the actual academics he will receive while there. Florida and Texas A&M are also in the top 25 of pulbic schools (which is all that really matters here, if it was strict academic rankings, Stanford, Duke, Northwestern etc would be top 10). Plentyt of schools in the sec are in the same academic grouping as big ten schools.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] This matters when we actually [Body]

Output: This matters when we actually get a recruit they want from there. This thread is going to look bad when Gary is at Auburn and Peoples-Jones is at Bama.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 min ago [Title] When I found out UGA had the [Body]

Output: When I found out UGA had the #4 graduate program for public administration it was surprising to say the least. Girlfriends family is all from Georgia so it will probably be on the list when I'm applying to public policy/public administration schools.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Title] And Harbaugh. Michigan fans [Body]

Output: And Harbaugh. Michigan fans don't get to talk about dui's.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Maryland basketball has one [Body]

Output: Maryland basketball has one of the largest arenas in the country, has the largest student section in the country, is in one of the best recruiting parts of the country and has a top 15 program history. Sure they aren't great at football but Maryland adds a lot of value on the basketball side. Maryland sports also won 7 big ten championships this year, the most of any school. Maryland is also located in the 4th largest metro area in the country (Baltimore/DC), is a well respected research institution, has access to the library of congress, etc. The only reason Maryland was a bad addition is if the only thing you care about is football. I just think its funny that people love the Nebraska addition when literally the only positive thing they bring is football.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] How is using sling tv an [Body]

Output: How is using sling tv an argument right now? People who argue that unbundling will cost more are projecting that the landscape will change as well. When unbundling does occur netlfix will either cost a lot more, cease to exist, or only have seasons that are old on it because stations will get more propietary and host things exclusively on their websites for their subscribers. Same thing with hulu. Sling tv exists in the current market, nothing about its pricing model is helpful for determining how much ESPN would cost in an unbundled world because ESPN doesn't need to charge sling tv customers $30 to remain viable in the current market.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] None of you guys have clearly [Body]

Output: None of you guys have clearly ever visited a caps message board. He gets more flak than he deserves but I don't know a single Caps fan who thinks he is worth the money you guys just paid. Of course knowing Caps history he will probably end up in the hof.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Sucks for the wings that he [Body]

Output: Sucks for the wings that he shows up small time all the time in big games.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Sounds like Harbaugh fucked [Body]

Output: Sounds like Harbaugh fucked up and did something dumb. If you are going to do what he did just don't do the interview. Being petty always makes you look bad.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Yes it was worth it. Sports [Body]

Output: Yes it was worth it. Sports teams make a city feel nice, they aren't actually drivers of economic growth and now the city has millions of dollars to spend on other things rather than a stadium. Seattle's economy is doing just fine without the sonics, so yes not spending millions to keep them with a project with no roi was the right call.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 4 days ago [Body] He's been quieter than I would like. I don't think he's been playing to his strengths this series. That might be a testament to how TB has defended him, but I wonder if he's been trying to do too much. [Title]

Output: Nyquist, too


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 4 days ago [Body] But worse, even. I'd say that Palat's hit on Glendening was worse than Kronwall's hit. Then you've got Zidlicky out with a concussion and no one seems to be bothering to look at Morrow's high hit (with an elbow) on him that wasn't even done to defend the play. Then there's Subban's two-hander. No suspension. Byfuglien's utter cheap shot on Corey Perry. No suspension. I'm not defending Kronwall's hit. At the time, I thought it was clean, but when I took a few more looks at it, I can see why he got suspended. Strangely, though, if Kronwall had done what the league says is a legal hit, the outcome might actually have been worse. And Kronwall's making a defensive play and not intending to injure. Again, not saying he's innocent here, but there's a consistency problem with supplementary discipline. [Title]

Output: Not just comparable


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I suppose having an ego that would make you resist being moved to the bullpen may be part of what makes a starting pitcher successful, but it seems to me that if the writing is on the wall and it's clear that you are not the pitcher you once were (at least as a starter), then it's not so bad to be changed to a relief pitcher. You still get to play the game you love (unless you're just burned out), get paid a pretty good sum to do it (and at that point, money is not likely to be much of a problem for you anyway), and still get to contribute to a team (even better if that team is a playoff contender). There are worse ways to finish a career. [Title]

Output: Maybe I don't get it


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I don't know how awesome they'll be, but if he heals properly and is managed properly, he'll still be a good #2 or #3 starter for a few more seasons. Fans, though, will need to adjust their expectations - as others have commented, he will likely not return to Cy Young levels of performance. Fewer (if any) complete games and no more hitting 98-99 mph on the radar gun in the 8th inning. He's now on the wrong side of 30, has pitched a lot of innings, has had increasing problems with injuries, and so forth. But he could still get the Tigers around 15 wins a season, and that's not nothing. [Title]

Output: There are years left in the tank


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 1 hour ago [Body] Seriously, I've done it for years. I have many friends and acquaintances (not to mention my older brother) who are Sparty fans. Now me and my brother will get into it, because we know we're just talking shit and it's no big deal. But with everyone else, this is how I act. And sometimes, my Sparty interlocutor will not believe that that's how I feel and tries to press it further, but I don't fall for it. Then they just don't know what to do. [Title]

Output: This is exactly what I do


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] I'm making a Dijon mustard sauce for my pork chops tonight, and since the recipe calls for a dry white wine, I'll be having some sauvignon blanc. [Title]

Output: Because I'm cooking


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 5 days ago [Body] He'll get back to you. [Title]

Output: At the tone, leave your name and message


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 5 days ago [Body] But that's me. Some suburbs are okay, too, depending on what you're looking for. [Title]

Output: I prefer cities myself


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Lake Michigan tends to get the love, but I like Huron just as much. [Title]

Output: Close to Lake Huron, too


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 5 days ago [Body] It would be no surprise to me at all if I lived here in Seattle for many more years. At this point, that is probably the mostly likely outcome and that would be just fine. I'm just more open to moving back to Michigan if the opportunity was right than I was several years ago. That opportunity may never come along, and if so, I'll be happy here too. [Title]

Output: I do like it a great deal here


Input: [Date] 28 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I live in Seattle, Washington right now (and have for the past 14 years or so) and I've been contemplating a move back to Michigan myself. No concrete plans, and I may never actually do it, but I'm more open to doing so than I was 10 years ago. Seattle is a great place, and I know a lot of folks would say I'm crazy to even think about moving back to Michigan. If I did move back, though, Ann Arbor would be among my top choices. It's one of my favorite places ever. [Title]

Output: Funny you should post on this


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 1 day ago [Body] A glass of Beringer Founders' Estate pinot noir. [Title]

Output: Work day just ended, so


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 1 day ago [Body] My high school commencement exercises were held at the Silverdome. [Title]

Output: High school commencement


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Undergrad: U-M Grad school: Oregon State and University of Washington. So, um, yeah. [Title]

Output: I've attended the rivals of both teams in the NC


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 5 days ago [Body] They've both pretty intense fellows so this should be interesting to see play out, that is, if Dantonio doesn't complain next that it's "disrespectful" for Michigan State to have to go to Michigan to play games every other season. [Title]

Output: I was also thinking of Harbaugh vs. Dantonio


Input: [Date] 32 weeks 4 days ago [Body] It's a preemption. [Title]

Output: Yep.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 2 days ago [Body] A fine winter beer. [Title]

Output: Pyramid Snow Cap


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] ...are awful. [Title]

Output: These Fox announcers


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Wishing you all the best for a full recovery. [Title]

Output: Get well soon, Ace


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] Nike supplies OSU's gear as well. [Title]

Output: Yes


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 22 hours ago [Body] Sure, I could be critical of his play (maybe a bit unfairly from time to time), but I've always been impressed by his character and his resilience. He could have left Michigan for another school - and who would have blamed him, in retrospect? - but stayed here and did everything that was asked of him. And just when you think you've seen enough, he does something like this. That's the Michigan Difference. [Title]

Output: I've always liked Devin


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 15 min ago [Body] I don't think the young people of today are any less empathetic than any generation that preceded them. The issues this article raises go back a very, very long time. [Title]

Output: It's not just today's youth


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 1 hour ago [Body] It's a charged term, to be sure, but I can't think of any story I've read in recent memory that illustrates how it works better than this article. It works on so many levels here: the "friends" who showed no empathy for Jackie and were more worried about their social lives, the guy who brought her there who acted afterward like nothing wrong had happened, and the institutional practices that served to conceal the extent of the problem, among other things. [Title]

Output: Re rape culture


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 1 hour ago [Body] But, if you can bring yourself to do so, you should read it. It's a very powerful story and something that more people should know about. [Title]

Output: It's a horrible story


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] A player has to do what he feels is best for his future. If Weber thinks going somewhere other than Michigan is the best move, then I respect that. At the same time, if a player doesn't want to play for Michigan, fine. We'll find someone else to replace him. [Title]

Output: I don't get too upset about this kind of thing


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 23 hours ago [Body] There's at least one more game we'll have to live through before he gets the firm handshake. [Title]

Output: He will, though.


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 6 days ago [Body] The same opposing fans who laughed at Michigan for having Rodriguez as head coach are now laughing at Michigan for firing him, as if that was their position all along. [Title]

Output: What's funny


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 44 min ago [Body] No need for that shit. [Title]

Output: Agreed


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 1 day ago [Body] He said pretty much the same about Notre Dame: "Everyone I know who went to Notre Dame was a dickhead. In fact, I think they have a checkbox on their application that says, 'I am a dickhead' and if you don't check it, you don't get in." [Title]

Output: A guy I once knew


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Stuff like, "the women would be worse" (how exactly?) is really not very mature. I hope he grows out of it. [Title]

Output: Glad you said something


Input: [Date] 5 hours 32 min ago [Title] Dear God [Body]

Output: The season cannot get here soon enough. I don't get why people get so worked up over uniforms. Lighten up, Francis. I actually kinda like the way these look anyway...not that it matters because THESE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MICHIGAN. We all wanted NIke (well, most of us anyway), we get NIke, and now we complain about what Nike is doing even when they haven't started their contract with us yet. Wtf.


Input: [Date] 3 days 22 hours ago [Title] Maybe not [Body]

Output: But he wouldn't have been fired after 3 years, that's for damn sure.


Input: [Date] 4 days 3 hours ago [Title] This thread [Body]

Output: Is the dark side of the Michigan fan base. To all the people saying RR should just get over it - look in the mirror, dude.


Input: [Date] 5 days 4 hours ago [Title] And let's also assume [Body]

Output: That scientists, who are trained to account for every possible source of error, somehow ignored the very basic fact that measurements from the 1800s are not as accurate as they are today. Not only that, but they totally just arbitrarily round up whenever they feel like it. Because science. Right, yup, that makes sense too.


Input: [Date] 5 days 4 hours ago [Title] Because that totes makes sense [Body]

Output: "Hey Brady, you've been totally wronged and cheated out of 4 games of salary, not to mention a permanently tarnished image, over something that you did absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever, and something you willingly cooperated in anyway only to have it come back and hit you in the face with the outrageouse claim that you didn't cooperate...but hey, just get over it, dude."


Input: [Date] 5 days 4 hours ago [Title] Yeah [Body]

Output: Literally everytime I hear a so-called "expert" speak about deflate gate, how it ruins the integrity of the game and blah blah blah, I just want to vomit. Even the one local radio guy who I generally think is unbiased tried to argue this, THIS does more to damage the integrity of the game than a domestic abuse case. His argument was tampering with footballs directly affects a game, whereas domestic abuse does not (apparently). I literally yelled in my car after that. What the fuck kind of reasoning is that? I mean, we are talking about a slightly under inflated ball, right? My mantra though this has been " I feel like I'm taking crazy pills". I'm not a Brady homer or a Pats homer. But damn, it really takes some sort of twisted logic to think THIS supposed cheating (which cannot be definitively proven anyway) is somehow worse for football than players who beat their wives or children. I mean, what in the actual fuck? I'm just so damn sick of the ridiculous bloviating.on the most inconsequential rule you could possibly break.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] Yeah it's weird [Body]

Output: I kinda liked it too...brainless entertainment. So long as he didn't talk about Michigan in any way.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] It looks more like texas tech to me [Body]

Output: It looks more like texas tech to me


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] And I hate [Body]

Output: The fact that people think he's guilty because they hate him. There's FAR more Brady haters than there are lovers out there. In Oklahoma sports radio they've adopted the "he definitely cheated cuz Wells says so!!!!" mantra, and they talk loudly about it every time Brady is mentioned. It makes me ill.


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] Which again gets at [Body]

Output: The dichotomy between how careless they treated the measurement process and how paltry punishments (if any) were to similar previous offenses (so clearly it's at all important)...compared with the actual punishment given to Brady on this issue (so clearly it's the most important thing ever)


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Sweet Jeebus. [Body]

Output: A 250+ thread because a guy said he was "bummed"? My God, stop the presses! I must start tut-tutting and elevating my RAGE level! HOW DARE ANYONE BE BUMMED AT ANYTHING MICHIGAN-RELATED?!?!? ESPECIALLY HARBAUGH?!?!??!?!? GOOD RIDDANCE, I SAY!!!!! Harrrumph.

Output: But some people in this thread are getting might judgy and uppity about it.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] Oh Lord [Body]

Output: My idiocy when it comes to car discussions just shines through here. By "how fast a car can go in 60 seconds" I meant "how quickly a car can go 0-60 mph". Sweet Jeebus that was just painful to read. Sorry, everyone.


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] Hate is a strong word [Body]

Output: But I've never understood the desire to fawn over cars and their specs and whatnot. Always felt odd around guys who do, and I had to make an awkward attempt to act like I care how fast that car can go in 60 seconds. As for a car I hate? I guess my opinion goes the other way too,,,there's not any car I really hate either. Except maybe gas-guzzling Hummers. What a waste of space. Oh! And any truck with truck nuts on it, or absurdly large wheels. Just feels like they're trying to compensate for something.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Because it's the middle of summer [Body]

Output: There's literally nothing else to talk about right now in the world of sports. Well, unless you count baseball. Which I don't.

Output: ...a puppy dies. STOP KILLING PUPPIES.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I don't know who those people are [Body]

Output: Or if you are even perceiving their workload fairly... But they are the exception. Not the rule.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Well, I agree that there are some really big issues [Body]

Output: I'm just vehemently against the idea that the instructors/professors are the problem with the ballooning costs, or anywhere near the primary concern on lists of problems.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Surely you can't be serious. [Body]

Output: This is a lump of steaming hot bullshit. I expect better from you, M-Dog. You aren't the one I would think would tear down an entire profession based on nothing but your own perception of it that is nowhere rooted in reality.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Cross that birdge when we get there [Body]

Output: If that happens, then the debate becomes real interesting. But personally, I don't see it happening. LA hasn't been good enough to finish better than 5th in their conference since 2008, and one of thier cups was as an 8 seed (which, don't get me wrong, is quite a historic accomplishment...but in the discussion of "dynasty", it matters)...you'd think a dynasty-level team would have better regular season stats than that I doubt it suddenly changes in the next two years, especially when they couldn't even make the freaking playoffs this year.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Le sigh... [Body]

Output: I didn't want Chicago to win for exactly this reason...the talk of dynasty. But now that it's here... Chicago very well may be the closest thing the NHL ever gets to a "dynasty" in the post-lockout parity era. It's amazing the run of playoff luck they seem to have when it comes to playoff overtimes. But luck aside, they were clearly playing at a level above every single opponent that came their way, and that difference really showed in games 5-7 of each series they played (if it got there). I've always admired them as a team...they seemed to build themselves around the Red Wings puck possession model that got them a cup in 2008 and nearly another in 2009. Shoot, they did it BETTER than Detroit ever did. It's hard for me to really "hate" them, even though my Detroit fandom practially demands it. Mostly because it's a hell of a lot better than seeing the Bostons and Anaheims of the league winning the cup. Having said all that...fuck man, their fans don't deserve that shit. Like, at all.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 40 min ago [Title] Wut [Body]

Output: I had the exact opposite reaction. The first Hannibal episode was very underwhelming to me, and the GOT episode was excellent.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Exactly what I saw [Body]

Output: Way too many called strikes. Far too content to watch pitches early in the count. But even then, they had chances to get back in it. They just couldn't get the hits to bring the runners home...I recall at least 8 stranded runners. I think the umps weren't perfect, but they never are. Honestly, Michigan deserved the loss...they just did not look like themselves at all.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I was in a perfect position to see that [Body]

Output: At the game, in section 22 (left field) close to the foul line. It looked clearly foul from where I was sitting. Close, sure, but clearly foul.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Title] INteresting [Body]

Output: I was at the game, and sitting out in left field. I am nowhere near a softball expert, but even I could tell that it seemed like there were quite an odd number of Florida players getting hit...and that they didn't seem too concerned about getting out of the way. Definitely a couple times I was like "wait...she got hit?" because the batter wouldn't move but all of the sudden take a base. I could tell from 250 feet away. I don't know the rules but common sense would seem to me that you should make SOME attempt to get out of the way... but instead it almost looked like they were purposefully getting their elbows in the way of pitches.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Great summation [Body]

Output: You are a bit critical of 2008, but you didn't even mention one of the biggest parts of the cup run that was frustrating - game 5 of the SCF was an adventure that ended up in yet another one of those can't-close-it-out data points that became a pattern since then. Wings go down 2-0 in first period, so play from behind to close out the cup. But they battle back and score in the 2nd and twice in the third, steal ALL of the momentum, have ALL BUT WON the cup...and with 35 seconds left, Pittsburgh ties it up. Three overtimes later...3 OTs of being literally on the brink of winning everything with just one shot...but instead we're headed to game 6. Now, they DID close it out (thank god) in Pittsburgh after that crushing loss, but this is just another example of that annoying pattern that kept showing up on a yearly basis in the playoffs. That can't be all Babcock's fault of course, but maybe a new coach will bring a much needed breath of fresh air into what seemed like was a stale environment. Babcock was brilliant in the way he approached Tampa this year with an inferior roster...and yet, paradoxically, I wonder how much of the reason why Detroit collapsed in the series had to do with Babcock and this recurring pattern of "can't close out pivotal games at home"


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Damn [Body]

Output: Flawless victory. I only hope Harbaugh can dominate as well on the field as he is apparently doing off the field.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I mean [Body]

Output: I can somewhat get why a coahc may not want their player to transfer in conference. "Oh yeah, sure kid! Transfer over to Ohio State! That sounds great!" But...this is not that situation. This is singling out exactly one school out of conference. It's totally out of spite. Way to take the high road, Gus... It's all about the student athletes. I'm sure.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Oh yes [Body]

Output: Please let that be true. He's just awful.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Yup [Body]

Output: Which is why I visit mgoblog often. Now, that percentage isn't 0 here, but it's significantly lower than 65% that's for sure. Everytime I hear a local sports guy (I live in Oklahoma,) talk about deflategate and how "THEY CHEATED" and all this stuff about how they deserve it and blah blah blah...I just...can't. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. What is wrong with you people?!?


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Body] It did? Please explain what point I missed. Brand recognition matters to an extent. Winning and player development matter more. The end. Harvard has great brand recognition. That data point means next to nothing without a competent football team to go along with it. But MSU is doing pretty well for themselves on the recruiting trail as of late even without a $100 million deal from Nike. [Title]

Output: It did? Please explain what


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Or we could just win football games? That would probably be helpful. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Not the authentic Italian version with a suckling pig but I'll wrap a center cut pork loing in a huge piece of pork belly and roast on the smoker for 3 hours or so. I am a huge fan of the RecTec it allows me to not be attached to monitoring my fire for 6-12 hours when bbq'ing. [Title]

Output: Porchetta on the pellet smoker


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Oh, and run Bayshore in Traverse City in the spring if the oppurtunity comes up. That is a PR course and small scale marathon put on at a very high level., [Title]

Output: Oh, and run Bayshore in


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 2 days ago [Body] We've only ever stayed at the RenCen, it is close and reasonable if you book through the detroit marathon link. The course is really nice, although most will tell you the back half is a little boring (it is) and sparsely populated by fans (true as well). Mostly flat course although the bridge will take its toll later in the race if you don't check your pace. You will have evil thoughts towards Belle isle forever - bridge incline mile 19 going on and 23 going off and will run into a head wind the entire time. I've run 5 differennt courses and Detroit on 4 occasions, I think it's a fairly hard course. Running my first Boston in 2 weeks so I'm interested to see how it stacks up in comparison. I was almost stopped heading into Canada by border police because my bib was concealed. I carry my enhanced ID for piece of mind by it probably isn't necessary although if you are stopped you are screwed. I've never seen anyone get stopped unless their bib is covered. Ambassodor bridge sunrise and coming out of the tunnel into America is unlike anything I've experienced in a race and for the cost I recommend. [Title]

Output: We've only ever stayed at the


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 1 day ago [Body] One of those future pros was Griese, he started around 100 games if memory serves me right. Not saying he was a pro bowler but still it takes a little talent to accomplish that. [Title]

Output: One of those future pros was


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I have no love for Izzo, but it sounds like he considers pre-college activity to be the source of the problem. I don't necessarily agree with his assessment but I don't think he is taking any sort of shot at Michigan. I'm also not sure how the question was asked but the part about Lavert probably get's the lead because he was a more significan player then Bess. He says identical things about both guys so he is either taking shots at himself and our coach or just commenting on the issue with no agenda what-so-ever. I'm not sure stress factures, tendonitis, or other over-use injuries are more common now but I think he has a point about taking time away to rest the body. Most of these injuries start as something the guys can play through so they do that and the cumulative effect sidelines them eventually. [Title]

Output: I have no love for Izzo, but


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 6 days ago [Body] John Clayton already gave it to you. He couldn't get an offer out of another NFL team because they all recognize his terrible personality will tear apart any organization he touches. So going back to college was his only option, you see? He literally begged Michigan to hire him. [Title]

Output: John Clayton already gave it


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 1 day ago [Body] They basically made a front page story out of Schefter's tweet. I really can't remember if there ever was any integrity or investigative skill at ESPN back in the day, but now it is nothing more then sensationalized re-hashing of sporting events and news. They have nothing to offer when it comes to actual news stories and their "reporters" are ill equipped and trained to handle breaking news - they just don't have any practice at it. Didn't basically the same thing happen with Mantei Teo? Didn't ESPN refuse to report and acknowledge sources outside of their own? I get needing to verify sources and not just recycling the reporting of others if you can't independently verify - but the bigger problem seems that they aren't getting any information of their own. Well except for Wiley and they seem to be ignoring him. [Title]

Output: They basically made a front


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I thought that too but "staffers" could be any of 100 employees. Could be the water boy or it could be their anonymous league source. Or it is made up bullshit - I could go either way. [Title]

Output: I thought that too but


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 2 days ago [Body] It's been about a week that Brian has seemingly believed that there is a better then good chance that Harbaugh was coming to Michigan right? All of that has been based on what are probably reliable sources, but he's been saying for days that his email box is flooded with credible pieces of info that point to Harbaugh returning to Michigan. So why last night does he post a front page piece stating that he is 99% sure that it's a done deal? He has been saying all along it is happening unless Harbaugh has a last minute change of heart. Yesterday's post doesn't happen because he go a 1000 more pieces of circumstantial evidence - Harbaugh could still change his mind. That post only happens because Brian has very very very good reason to believe it is signed, sealed, and delivered in writing. [Title]

Output: It's been about a week that


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Only a handful of people would have been in that room, so his information is still second or third hand right? Credible, but there is still a margin of error in that it could be false. But my guess is he has credible information that there is a written agreement and all of the circumstantial evidence bolsters that piece of information. [Title]

Output: Only a handful of people


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 2 days ago [Body] And to take it a step further I fully believe there is a signed contract at this point. Brian mentioned that he doesn't have a picture of a contract, but I don't think he says those words and puts himself out there with 99% certainty unless there is something in writing. Even the athletic department seems to be too leaky at this point for it not to be a done deal. I think the rumor mill in A2 is in full effect because slowly more and more people who need to prepare for next week are being fed details - Hackett doesn't allow this to happen unless it's a done deal already. [Title]

Output: Agreed


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 1 day ago [Body] C'mon grow up and get some perspective, or get sober. Whichever helps more. HS football players sign with teams to get an education and play football at a high level. There are a lot of schools in this country which can give you an education on par with the University of Michigan, and I'm sure plenty of those have football programs that don't regress in developing their players. We are a shit-show right now whether you like it or not. Would you take a job with a company that was falling apart at the seams just because you have a sentimental attachement to it? Kids have to what is best for them. I hope we pull out of this someday soon but the recent history of this storied football program doesn't instill a lot of confidence or hope. [Title]

Output: C'mon grow up and get some


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 3 days ago [Body] So when people you don't know continuously call your ugly-ass mom ugly you have no desire to rise to her defense? It's called civic pride. The fact that you call it a pretty crappy city means you probably grew up in Livonia or Farmington Hills and spent almost no appreciable time in Detroit. And having a measure of civic pride doesn't mean that you fail to recognize the many, many shortcomings that exist in the city. Thin skinned enough for you? [Title]

Output: So when people you don't know

Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Body] The second option would be to sear, then rest for 10 minutes to allow heat to dissipate, then place on indirect heat until reaching desired temp, then rest again. [Title]

Output: The second option would be to


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Body] The rationale for searing right before the meat has hit ideal internal temp is that a good sear happens at 500+ degrees. Which means there is a lot of intense heat raising the interal temperature very quickly but not evenly. If I start my steak at 500 and move to 300 there is going to be more risidual heat on the outer portion of the steak but that heat won't necessarily have moved inside. So you won't get even distribution and if you aren't very careful the outer half of your steak will be well done while the interior is medium rare. If you do the sear at the end of the cook you can pull the meat off the heat which allows you to halt (well at least slow down relatively quickly) the cooking process. [Title]

Output: The rationale for searing


Input: [Date] 1 year 8 weeks ago [Body] I don't think most people here are going to begrudge anyone for getting theirs. It's just that in no other sport does a head coach make approximately 30X as much as the most highly compensated player (legitimately compensated). So the head shaking doesn't have as much to do with him making that much but rather making that much in a system where those in charge claim the players are more then adequately "paid" for their 60 hour work week then turn around and dump wheel barrels full of cash in front of AD's, Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Recruiters, Trainers, you get the point right? It's not like the conferences are getting the shaft on TV revenue either, they own the damn networks. So this is just another example of how flush with cash athletic departments are and how they have to find excuses to piss away the revenue while they cry about amateurism and how fearful they are that they will corrupt the innocent kids. [Title]

Output: I don't think most people

I don't smoke the stuff and comments like this make me shake my head. This is 2014 right? If he got caught drinking a beer you wouldn't automatically worry that he was an alcoholic would you?

Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Body] Bizarre sounds about right to me. I don't get it at all, you hear nothing out of the kid but his parents seem to be plastering their differences all over the recruiting sites. It's to the point where I'd rather he go to state if that's what he really wants then have his parents force him to choose Michigan. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] I'm with you 100% on this one but I'm afraid we are in the minority. I've always argued these same points to people who think a playoff is necessary for college football. The last two teams out are always going to have a beef, look at the NCAA bball tourney. And if we aren't going to have super-conferences, byes, and home field advantage is it really that good of a system for determining a champion? College football is great because of the rivalries and Michigan wouldn't have any sort of postseason history if it weren't for the contrived bowl system - there are too many teams for rivalries to develop organically in a playoff system. [Title]

Output: I'm with you 100% on this one

Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Body] And just like a high school sometimes the readers of this blog feel they are untitled to voice their opinions as loudly as they can with no repercussions. There really is this belief that an open forum provides some free speech right, no matter how harmful that speech might be to the overall product. I think this blog would be better served sometimes with just a comment section after the front page content instead of a dedicated forum which grants every dickhead with an opinion a platform to rabble rabble rabble. [Title]

Output: And just like a high school


Input: [Date] 1 day 1 hour ago [Title] Players say the same thing [Body]

Output: Players say the same thing every year. They spout hopeful cliches about how things are different, everyone is more motivated, etc. I don't think they're being disingenuous. But they just say what they're supposed to say. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 1 week 6 days ago [Title] Um, you don't know what [Body]

Output: OP, you don't know what you're talking about. Williams and Pomona are, by almost any standard, top-ten colleges. (US News ranks them both in the top five.) Academically, they're on par with the top Ivies, and their acceptance standards are among the highest in the world. The whole "declining enrollment" thing doesn't really apply to these schools. And, anyway, the broader decline in college enrollment isn't about quality. it's about cost. Private colleges are more expensive than public ones. In a recession, guess what happens? Also, your logic is bizarre. So these tiny little colleges, with their relatively small endowments, are buying off Forbes? But the huge top-flight universities, with their massive endowments, are helpless lambs?

Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I wouldn't pretend to know [Body]

Output: I wouldn't pretend to know how things will turn out for Shane. I'm cautiously optimistic. The one thing that did strike me, while watching his limited playing time, was that he seemed smaller and more slight than the average gun-slinging pocket-passer type. Is this perception accurate? Or no?


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] You need to go to Iowa and [Body]

Output: You need to go to Iowa and Indiana. They're both great. Indiana is so old-school, you can enter the stadium at any time, day or night. And Iowa has a great atmosphere. Both towns are great, too. One warning: at both schools, I've never seen so many falling-down drunk students on game day.

Output: I love how people argue that noon games let them do stuff around the house but later ones don't. The games are the same length at any time. You still have half a day either way. What a ridiculous and lazy argument.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Nobody plays big noon games. [Body]

Output: The screaming highlighter color could only be preferred by teenagers. The team has historically worn, maize (albeit in marginally different shades) because that happens to be the the intended color. Which also looks better.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Cavs will still find a way to [Body]

Output: Cavs will still find a way to lose.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It may surprise you to learn [Body]

Output: It may surprise you to learn that the media doesn't publish stories based on whether they're convenient for the program.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Title] That's the rationalization [Body]

Output: That's the rationalization fans always use.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 16 hours ago [Title] Seriousy, dude? Another [Body]

Output: Seriousy, dude? Another thread on this inane topic? Really?


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I see your point. But mostly, [Body]

Output: I see your point. But mostly, I think, when you determine to attract as much attention as harbaugh does, you're also going to invite more scrutiny. Every little negative thing will be noted. That's just the way it goes. And it's not unfair.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Nick's online chats are [Body]

Output: Nick's online chats are particularly bad. He offers no new information or insights and basically just says "only time will tell" to every question. He's lazy and not terribly insightful. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I don't think you understand [Body]

Output: I don't think you understand how journalism works. You think they should just sit on their hands and not report a player's allegations -- even after asking M for comment? If this were Bama, I bet you'd be the first guy accusing ESPN of a coverup.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Yeah. Only a dumbass like you [Body]

Output: Yeah. Only a dumbass like you would make this a partisan political issue.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Agreed. This is a lousy [Body]

Output: Agreed. This is a lousy precedent. Great lesson for the players.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Yes. They fit the profile and [Body]

Output: Yes. They fit the profile and have a certain old-school glamour about them.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Gee, this isn't a stale old [Body]

Output: Gee, this isn't a stale old chestnut or anything. Let it go already. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Title] No. The coaches already know [Body]

Output: No. The coaches already know we'll have a few medicals and a few fifth-years who won't be back. So they haven't over signed. They're under no obligation to inform us of the current roster numbers.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Correct. It's so early in the [Body]

Output: Correct. It's so early in the cycle, things haven't had a chance to shake out. Inevitably, at least a few of these kids will go elsewhere -- ones that get late offers from their local team, or ones worried they'll get buried on michigan's depth chart.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Oversigning isn't measured [Body]

Output: Oversigning isn't measured until the end of the recruiting year.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] There's literally zero chance [Body]

Output: There's literally zero chance that guys like Gary will be turned away.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] People have said the same [Body]

Output: People have said the same thing prior to each of the past several seasons. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I think you're generally [Body]

Output: I think you're generally right. But most of the 2-stars will become 3s. And a few 3s will become 4s. It's just the nature of the beast. Under the radar kids who make high-profile commits inevitably get more attention and benefit of the doubt.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Given the universe of random [Body]

Output: Given the universe of random OT posts -- where to dine in Paris, Game of Thrones blather -- this doesn't seem off-base. It involves a blue-chip player at a B10 football rival.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Which reliable people? I [Body]

Output: Which reliable people? I don't see anyone at the big sites saying this.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Well, he's evidently alone in [Body]

Output: Well, he's evidently alone in that opinion, since none of the other "experts" has Jackson to Michigan.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Perhaps you haven't been [Body]

Output: Perhaps you haven't been informed that we probably have roughly 10 more slots to fill. The class is likely to end up closer to 25 than 14, according to most "insiders." We could easily end up with 10-12 4-stars (and maybe one or two 5-stars). Also, most of our 2-stars will end up as 3-stars; some of the 3-stars will become 4s. We could very likely end up with a Top 10 class. Top 15, at worst.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Seriously, do you not realize [Body]

Output: Seriously, do you not realize we'd end up with 10-12 three-stars no matter what (assuming a class close to 25)? Nobody recruits 90 percent 4-5 stars. We still have about 20 spots saved for the tougher gets, who tend to hold out until later in the process. Better to fill out your roster now, then focus on the touch pulls. We'll get some, lose some. But the current pattern makes sense.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Morris has two left, I think. [Body]

Output: Morris has two left, I think.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 16 hours ago [Title] But they're not all taking [Body]

Output: But they're not all taking the place of 4 stars. We still have maybe a dozen more slots. No team except maybe the top few gets all 4-5 stars. In the end, we could still have two-thirds four stars. And that's excellent. So calm down.
