Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Title] I agree completely that [Body]

Output: I agree completely that students who show up late -- especially after the game starts -- shouldn't automatically get better seats than students who were there early. But this "slap in the face" thing, I mean, for some students Michigan football is a fun part of going to the school but they don't live and breathe it. I don't remember for sure, but I don't think students can even buy single game student section tickets. Some students want to go sometimes but not others, or for a half but not the whole game. It's frustrating for others that they have such good tickets and don't make use of them like devoted fans, but being jealous doesn't make anger a sensible or productive response. Part of being a student at UM is getting perks re: UM athletic games. The fact that worst seats in the student section are not always full is not intended as an insult to alumni (and others) who wish they could have those seats, it's just college kids making decisions. A few empty rows in one corner of the endzone isn't a crazy price to pay for being a college team.


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Title] If Rutgers and MD do turn out to be good for business... [Body]

Output: ...and the fact that they bring in two of the biggest media markets does turn out to help the B1G financially, are we going to get one of those one sentence apologies and then be expected to pretend like all the rage and wrongness never happened -- you know, like the whole we should keep RR for a fourth year instead of hiring Hoke thing? Just want to be prepared.


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Title] If it makes you feel better, [Body]

Output: If it makes you feel better, I laugh at the umbrage toward current students. I happened to be one of the students, back in the day, who sometimes slept until 1 or 2 pm because I was socializing or playing music or reading or watching movies or running around the arb until 4 in the morning. Regardless, it doesn't seem like too much for current students to have less than 20% of the stadium's capacity, including some of the worst seats, and to have a some relatively small percent of those seats empty in the lesser important games of the season. And the RR years cannot have helped. Now, that does not mean the AD is wrong for going to GA and rewarding kids who come early or doing some other rewards program. But all the anger toward current students for not filling up their section to absolute capacity right at tipoff is goofy.


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Title] Good point [Body]

Output: We have guys that can play multiple positions, and they likely will (particularly the upperclassmen), in order to deal with match-ups and get our best guys on the floor.


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Title] Beilein said he believe the [Body]

Output: Beilein said he believe the team to done with attrition of any kind (and Blake has considered a graduated senior), so Blake probably will be the last one transfering. Unless you know more than Beilein does.


Input: [Date] 16 hours 58 min ago [Title] Alice in Wonderland [Body]

Output: Alice in Wonderland


Input: [Date] 3 days 22 hours ago [Title] Some things will never die [Body]

Output: Some things will never die


Input: [Date] 4 days 12 hours ago [Title] Basically what he's saying is [Body]

Output: Basically what he's saying is the only way he can get good players who have the ability to play immediately is if they're academically marginal. Quite a concession to be openly making.


Input: [Date] 5 days 13 hours ago [Title] LOL...it definitely was [Body]

Output: LOL...it definitely was tricky to follow. A little more effort would go a long ways


Input: [Date] 5 days 16 hours ago [Title] It appears that all is in [Body]

Output: It appears that all is in order...now please just give us some football


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] Unfortunately this may be a [Body]

Output: Unfortunately this may be a reflection of how many times opposing teams have been scoring in recent years vs the past.


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Title] I suppose this bears [Body]

Output: I suppose this bears repeating


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] The bukeyes are going down [Body]

Output: The bukeyes are going down this November...DejaVu all over again


Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Title] Did they arrest all four or [Body]

Output: Did they arrest all four or just the OSU fans in the picture? Sounds like all four were swinging but they're only naming the buckeys. Hilarious.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 19 hours ago [Title] Was Jenn Sterger there? She [Body]

Output: Was Jenn Sterger there? She loves seeing Brett whenerver she can.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Two excellent additions, [Body]

Output: Two excellent additions, particularly Carolyn Jones. In that vein you could also add Yvonne De Carlo (Lily Munster), an actress of some renown before we knew her as Lily Munster


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I agree UCSD is an excellent [Body]

Output: I agree UCSD is an excellent school, but #21 in the world?


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Seems fairly reasonable for [Body]

Output: Seems fairly reasonable for the top 20. But UC San Diego at 21? What's Rockefeller U? (29)


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Title] well done [Body]

Output: well done


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Title] oops too late :) [Body]

Output: oops too late :)


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm old. More than any other [Body]

Output: I'm old. More than any other show "I Dream of Jeannie" still does something really amazing for me. Barbara Eden might still be TV's all time greatest goddess.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Happy Friday! Going to try [Body]

Output: Happy Friday! Going to try and lounge out part of the morning with the British Open. Enjoy!


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 2 days ago [Title] What a change - place is [Body]

Output: What a change - place is going to be packed and electric. Now just win.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] This is pretty stupid but [Body]

Output: This is pretty stupid but also more than a little funny


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Ridiculous but completely [Body]

Output: Ridiculous but completely predictable. If Saban was doing this stuff you'd see 5 page loving articles on how he had evolved and loosened up. JH is being himself and has to be shot down.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I'm inclined to give Martin [Body]

Output: I'm inclined to give Martin more of a pass. It had been 40 years since Michigan went outside to hire a football coach and I think they just didn't have the institutional experience to handle it. They got the guy everyone else wanted - RR - but weren't aggressive enough in putting everything else into place. Pretty much everyone in the process made mistakes. It was painful but it's all good from here on. The success about to come will only feel that much sweeter for the pain.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Wonder how long it took Urbz [Body]

Output: Wonder how long it took Urbz - or more likely someone else - to decipher what that chicken scratch actually said. Without the cheat notes I don't think I could have.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Must be some really nice lawn [Body]

Output: Must be some really nice lawn chairs


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Does he have a video with a [Body]

Output: Does he have a video with a private jet?


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Wasn't this posted last week [Body]

Output: Wasn't this posted last week sometime?


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Forgot about that one. Jimmy [Body]

Output: Forgot about that one. Jimmy may have set the standard for this kind of thing.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] You have to be really [Body]

Output: You have to be really impressed with yourself to make something like this. He better be good or this ends being a long running embarassment


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Nice post - bright spot on an [Body]

Output: Nice post - bright spot on an otherwise typical Monday morning


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] All you have to do is start [Body]

Output: All you have to do is start looking at other schools' blogs to see how spoiled we are with this one. There's nothing else like it. Thanks!


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] In fairness I'm assuming the [Body]

Output: In fairness I'm assuming the BTN decides what to call a "classic", not Rutgers. Also, don't forget what state we're currently getting a few top recruits from. Publicity is good. Let them replay it if they want...in a few months it'll be a distant memory.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Seems like just about the [Body]

Output: Seems like just about the right order all the way down.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Title] This is great stuff, thanks! [Body]

Output: This is great stuff, thanks! Coming full circle with Harbaugh now


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I keep a bunch of frozen [Body]

Output: I keep a bunch of frozen DiGiornos on hand. It's quick and easy and better and more consistent then most of these places. But my family says I'm a bore.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Looked like maybe a little [Body]

Output: Looked like maybe a little trip but still funny as hell


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Title] They have one hell of a toxic [Body]

Output: They have one hell of a toxic environment going on in that place


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Hackett's really feeling it [Body]

Output: Hackett's really feeling it now...keep going man


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Guessing that finger was [Body]

Output: Guessing that finger was mostly gone and the amputation probably wasn't much of a decision. Trying to keep it from the Giants was likely more of a panic reaction than anything.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] If what I just read in the [Body]

Output: If what I just read in the NYT is right the Giants offer could have been rescinded regardless as soon as they found out he had a non-football related injury, so the employee's actions wouldn't have cost JPP anything. That doesn't it wasn't a stupid and/or illegal thing to do.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I always get here too late to [Body]

Output: I always get here too late to see these - what was it?


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I have 4 Samsungs - 60, 50, [Body]

Output: I have 4 Samsungs - 60, 50, 42, 36. 1-5 years old (60 oldest), all have been flawless, knock on plastic. Marginal convenience having all the same manufacturer, menus etc. Last couple I got the smart feature because it amounted to maybe 10% of the cost, less with the more expensive ones.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] No one said he wasn't [Body]

Output: No one said he wasn't provoked and I'm certainly not giving her a pass. The point is he has to have the self control, given the obvious size and strength difference, to back off and walk away. That's all you have to do. He has a much more powerful weapon than her and he doesn't have the right to use it because she went first. It isn't fair but that's the way it is. That kind of attitude has gotten a lot of people in a lot of trouble.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] What a change from the final [Body]

Output: What a change from the final days of DB. Feels like we're back in the 70s/80s in terms of national perception, and that's a good thing.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] You're comparing what someone [Body]

Output: You're comparing what someone does in a physical sport to punching someone in a bar


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Too late to see what it [Body]

Output: Too late to see what it was...darn


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Title] He has to dodge every one she [Body]

Output: He has to dodge every one she throws, which he obviously can. He on the other hand is way too quick and strong for her. That's the whole point. Try and get it if you can.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Title] NYT CNN if I want something [Body]

Output: NYT CNN if I want something super-hyped Yahoo sometimes for sports - the rest of it is sadly hilarious


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I had the exact same [Body]

Output: I had the exact same thought...and said it last night! LOL


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Title] LOL...wtf does that even [Body]

Output: LOL...wtf does that even mean?


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Title] That's admittedly excessive [Body]

Output: That's admittedly excessive sarcasm on my part. It comes from being a Knicks fan and trying to grab onto any realistic hope that things could possibly get better. I really don't know what Jackson can do, but as much as I love THJ I don't think there's much downside in this trade.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Title] No surprise here [Body]

Output: No surprise here. Hope he has some kind of tangible evidence.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Wow, and all this time we [Body]

Output: Wow, and all this time we thought the 49ers were successful under Harbaugh. Who knew it was really this bad?


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I think he'll end up meeting [Body]

Output: I think he'll end up meeting the high side of expectations. O-Line should be good and he has an excellent QB coach.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Great commit news to kick off [Body]

Output: Great commit news to kick off the weekend...enjoy!


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Okay great...excuse me while [Body]

Output: Okay great...excuse me while I freak out over this


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Title] "wedded to an archaic [Body]

Output: "wedded to an archaic offensive strategy reliant on superstars" This whole post is questionable at best but this one especially made me smile. The notion that you win in the the NBA without superstars is about as archaic as it gets


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I'm all in. Needed 3 days [Body]

Output: I'm all in. Needed 3 days coming!


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 3 days ago [Title] He's said the fake [Body]

Output: He's said the fake personality will not be in the new late night CBS show. That will be straight up, like Letterman.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I found it pretty hilarious. [Body]

Output: I found it pretty hilarious. Total opposite of coach-speak. What happens is guys like CC are used to coaches who just want to go off at the slightest provocation so they show up with nothing really to say themselves. It was just a bunch of superficial, lame questions that got the answers they deserved.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Not trying to be difficult [Body]

Output: Not trying to be difficult but you have to call it what it is. The message really being sent here, and what a lot of kids will take away based on their own life experiences, is that if you have money and connections it won't necessarily destroy your future. Otherwise you could end up going to jail and lose your career/job.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Title] He got a second chance by not [Body]

Output: He got a second chance by not going to jail for illegal, irresponsible actions that endangered people's lives. I don't know why people always want to categorize these things as "making a mistake". He knew exactly what he was doing and has almost certainly done it many times. This guy was plastered. The real second chance he got was when he was lucky enough not to have hurt or killed someone. He should feel very fortunate for not having to live with that.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Is this our last chance to [Body]

Output: Is this our last chance to discuss this before the Big Day?


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 1 day ago [Title] if he is so what?...I'm on [Body]

Output: if he is so what?...I'm on board


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Wow, talk about rampant [Body]

Output: Wow, talk about rampant speculation


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Title] that will work [Body]

Output: that will work


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Getting 2-3 out of NJ [Body]

Output: Getting 2-3 of the top players in NJ each year would make for a nice pipeline...This looks very good.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Title] It's a nice way of saying [Body]

Output: It's a nice way of saying "we're not interested"


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Title] If the first school he's been [Body]

Output: If the first school he's been to and has no other LOI sure. Any student can show up and try out for a sport.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Yeah that's pretty lame...you [Body]

Output: Yeah that's pretty lame...you would think someone in the process would have caught it


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Seems like maybe this story [Body]

Output: Seems like maybe this story doesn't have to be here


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I wouldn't say I live there [Body]

Output: I wouldn't say I live there but I do spend quite a bit of time in my basement. Call me crazy.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 1 day ago [Title] FYI a lot of people have been [Body]

Output: FYI a lot of people have been prosecuted for it


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 1 day ago [Title] You're entitled to your [Body]

Output: You're entitled to your opinion. However it's up to the artists, not you, to make the decision on whether to give away their property.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I never got the whole wishing [Body]

Output: I never got the whole wishing him the best thing. Personally I couldn't care less how well he does somewhere else. This kind of screws Michigan so whatever.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Title] That inevitably leads to the [Body]

Output: That inevitably leads to the conclusion that more than scholarships are being distributed, perhaps to families if not the players themselves. Beilein's had a disproportionate share of players getting NBA contracts so that can't be it.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Title] We'll know a lot more pretty [Body]

Output: We'll know a lot more pretty early as the Utah game is obviously in the bubble category. Find a way to pull that out, and I think they can, and 8-9 starts to look very realistic, more with some breks.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Good post but two factors run [Body]

Output: Good post but two factors run counter to your argument. One, it's very early in the ranking/evaluation process for a lot of these players and, two, Michigan could still easily be taking 10 more players in this class. Time will tell and I'm optimistic.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Kraft's acceptance I think is [Body]

Output: Kraft's acceptance I think is indicative of how close a lot of the owners are to Goodell. Why I have no idea but to a lot of them he's their guy. We'll see if that erodes after the most recent incidents, the Rice case still being the most egregious.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] This is going to come back on [Body]

Output: This is going to come back on them embarassingly hard


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Title] No shame...and that's never [Body]

Output: No shame...and that's never going to change

Output: Optimism is a good thing...enjoy!

Output: Yes the Friday is here...and it's good


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Title] That would have been funny if [Body]

Output: That would have been funny if the person hadn't died.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] It's actually pretty funny. [Body]

Output: It's actually pretty funny. If you had at least included the link you might see less vitriol.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Get them before they become [Body]

Output: Get them before they become famous. Harbaugh knows.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I was wondering if someone [Body]

Output: I was wondering if someone was going to list The Americans. I think it's the best show on TV right now (and I'm both a book and TV GOT loyalist). Another is the BBC series MI-5 (called Spooks there).


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm sure Nike's sent them [Body]

Output: I'm sure Nike's sent them plenty of free stuff. Why not use it?


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 2 days ago [Title] More softball [Body]

Output: More softball please...anything but this


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Great run - awesome summer [Body]

Output: Great run - awesome summer sports bonus. They'll be even better next year.


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Title] wants a placeholder [Body]

Output: wants a placeholder


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Softball - not even close [Body]

Output: Softball - not even close


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I'm sensing a good game from [Body]

Output: I'm sensing a good game from Michigan tomorrow night and a win. I think their bats look a little better than Florida's and they could really assert tomorrow. Won't be easy but now I like the odds.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] That was a really fun game to [Body]

Output: That was a really fun game to watch. Hung tough when behind. This is a great team.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] done deal! [Body]

Output: done deal!


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] 2 outs - almost there [Body]

Output: 2 outs - almost there


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] No one said it was going to [Body]

Output: No one said it was going to easy...just get two more outs


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Imagine if Ryan Leaf's [Body]

Output: Imagine if Ryan Leaf's parents had more of a sense of humor...would have added a nice touch of humor to his NFL "career"


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 3 days ago [Title] You email says that if they [Body]

Output: You email says that if they don't give you more money you're not taking the job. There's a bunch of words around it but that's the clear message. That probably didn't sit well.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Have to agree with others [Body]

Output: Have to agree with others below, if they immediately pulled the offer I don't see where you had any leverage.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 3 days ago [Title] You accepted the job, and [Body]

Output: You accepted the job, and then asked for more money? Maybe I'm just out of touch with how things are done these days.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I'm not that sentimental when [Body]

Output: I'm not that sentimental when it comes to death, and these ash-scattering rituals always seemed a little self-important to me. Just recycle yourself back in. Having said that I always thought ancient sky burials were cool from a stylistic standpoint but I don't think there's too many places left you could do that these days.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 19 hours ago [Title] Amazing what's going on in [Body]

Output: Amazing what's going on in the world...thanks for tuning in!


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] Bats are showing up early [Body]

Output: I was actually concerned when Cal was up 1-0

Output: This is very impressive to say the least.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Can we assume these are your [Body]

Output: Can we assume these are your personal rankings, or do you have some reference?


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Gil, use whatever you like [Body]

Output: Gil, use whatever you like and love it. Can you imagine someone selling you a fathead then a few years later telling you you're not supposed to use it? Keep it forever.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 days ago [Title] And a happy Monday it [Body]

Output: And a happy Monday it is...damn!


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Title] One exception under Bo being [Body]

Output: One exception under Bo being Wangler. if not for a lingering knee injury I always thought he could have been an NFL quarterback. He was at least in a camp - I think with Dallas. But I completely agree with you - he was the exception. If he had that injury today he may have had a more better recovery and played on.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 3 days ago [Title] The other take is that he got [Body]

Output: The other take is that he got the absolute most possible out of Kaepernick and he just wasn't going to progress much further due to limitations on his ability. There's only so much a coach can do. You just can't assume these guys can progress indefinitely.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 17 hours ago [Title] Another interpretation is [Body]

Output: Another interpretation is that it's like looking at a work of art of questionable quality, and one person insists everyone else doesn't "get it" because they're not knowledgable enough about art. Someone can always make that case and you can't argue with them because it comes down to a matter of opinion. The reason they have to charge $90 is the pool of people willing to pay is shrinking to the point where they have to rely on the diehards who insist this really is great sport and only the true afficionados appreciate it. Maybe they're right However It could also be that it just isn't that good or interesting.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] If I paid $90 for that I'd be [Body]

Output: If I paid $90 for that I'd be really annoyed right now. This was like a Super Bowl from the 70s - basically no action - only a lot worse because let's be honest, there really wasn't even a winner. What a scam.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Don't look now but... [Body]

Output: Don't look now but...


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] When it comes to not giving [Body]

Output: When it comes to not giving money to Floyd Mayweather my conscience is absolutely clean.

Output: Watched the Penn Relays today and had forgotten what a great sport to watch Track and Field can be


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Title] That was nice...was watching [Body]

Output: lol...first thing I thought of


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Title] My daughter started in 2008 [Body]

Output: My daughter started in 2008 and stayed for a Masters. I keep telling her you're a bigger fan after you leave. She's still disillusioned but that should change soon.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Title] so what [Body]

Output: so what


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Title] This should be the most [Body]

Output: This should be the most exciting football/basketball combination year in a long time. There have been better teams in either sport but not this kind of overall optimism. IMHO of course


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Being dumb is known to make [Body]

Output: Being dumb is known to make people crazy...it confuses them

Output: Sounds like you've had some bad experiences with water


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 hours ago [Title] He was entertaining but the [Body]

Output: He was entertaining but the ridiculous partisanship did get in the way of otherwise enjoying him.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] I caught that too and thought [Body]

Output: I caught that too and thought it was wrong - wish he had just included him


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 2 days ago [Title] It shouldn't be considered [Body]

Output: It shouldn't be considered weird that someone would pick a school like VCU over NC, especially witha coach like Smart there at the time. The whole recruiting ranking obsession assumes every kid is going to naturally prefer the "top" program offered. That just isn't always the case. How shocking would it be if he just wants to go somewhere he can eventually start, and go to school somewhere he likes?


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Completely disagree [Body]

Output: Completely disagree. There may be more "good" players now but Nicklaus had far better and consistent competition throughout his run. For Tiger there never was a Palmer, Player, Trevino, Watson that could consistently challenge him. He also had 19 2nd place major finishes which Tiger doesn't come close to. There's no doubt he's the best of his generation but unless you're a TV network trying to pump up Tiger for your broadcast you have to be honest and concede Nicklaus' record is more impressive in pretty much every way

Output: You knew this was coming - they're now full-on SEC and it's not going to change as long as Meyer's there.

Input: [Date] 16 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I get the click thing but [Body]

Output: I get the click thing but can't this guy find something other other than this to do? If nothing else projecting Michigan as an 11 is just lazy ignorance. At least try.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Not a Bo Ryan fan but have to [Body]

Output: Not a Bo Ryan fan but have to sympathize with what he's saying. The refs weren't going to just let this game keep going on its natural progression. The equalizer calls started early in the second half. The sequence with the block called on Wisconsin followed almost immediately with the Kaminsky charge was all you needed to see. Those plays were almost identical.

Output: No, in fact they would probably have been blown out in every game they played.

Output: Actually I didn't say anything of the kind, just clarifying what you were saying. You seem upset.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 1 day ago [Title] So what you're saying is, [Body]

Output: So what you're saying is, they should just plead guilty and pay up because you don't want to hear any more about it?

Output: I actually like Dakich. Gottlieb is really annoying.

Output: He might for these next couple of weeks.


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I'll say this about that bus. [Body]

Output: I'll say this about that bus. At least two people (one was the young woman seen with her phone in the first video released - she was clearly recording one of the two leaders) saw fit to go public with it and I admire that. It took guts given the potential ramifications. I'll take at least that positive from it.

Output: Whoa...glad I caught the end of that...that should help Michigan


Input: [Date] 20 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It's all market driven. [Body]

Output: It's all market driven. You'll know soon enough when they hit StubHub and/or eBay. Then you just have to decide if you want to wait until you get to AA nd try to pay less on game day.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 1 day ago [Title] There would be some but it [Body]

Output: There would be some but it would become apparent pretty fast that most were making a mistake and it would pull back. I hate the one-and-dones so am all for this rule. Eother go or commit to three years. This has nothing to do with not "caring for the kids". Make a decision and live with it.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 1 day ago [Title] "Most"? No way that would [Body]

Output: "Most"? No way that would ever happen. Players like Harris, Morris, Burke, THJ, Stauskus, GRIII would never have tried going NBA out of HS. The only one you might make a case for was McGary. I actually think it would be a pretty good rule.


Input: [Date] 21 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Marginal players stand to [Body]

Output: Marginal players stand to gain maturity, physical and personal, without the pressure of trying to make it in the NBA. That's one big reason why they have a better chance to improve in college and may stall or regress after getting drafted.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] They rendered at least part [Body]

Output: They rendered at least part of the place unusable. Why would they not be calculating lost business?


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] Agreed [Body]

Output: This is definitely part of it. There's a rule that if you foul twice in the first half you sit, and I think it's a good rule. I also however think it's a good strategy and don't under stand the negative fixation on it. If you have to play Dakich and Lonergan at some point I'd rather it be in the first half, as long as the game is within reach.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 1 day ago [Title] No one wants to hear it but [Body]

Output: No one wants to hear it but the fact that they were within 3 in the seond half completely vindicates the strategy. They were undermanned and on the road. Keep it close as long as you can and try to pull it out.

Output: you can say that again :) he was actually 83


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I watched Star Trek from the [Body]

Output: I watched Star Trek from the first time it aired and this really feels like a crushing loss. One thing that's always surprised me is how little attention he gets for his role as Paris on Mission Impossible. I was also a huge fan of that show and it was great to see LM there after Star Trek was cancelled.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Or it could just be free [Body]

Output: Or it could just be free enterprise. You're making some major assumptions about potential victimes etc. If it's what it's rumored to be it's really bad and I agree someone should come forth but so far we don't know. The guy who's supposedly going to be breaking the story hasn't even seen it.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Sure hope not. And if [Body]

Output: Sure hope not. And if there's any kind of licking involved I'll pass.

Output: Chatman showed some nice flashes. He should get better as his confidence grows and today will help a lot.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 1 day ago [Title] When you factor in his [Body]

Output: When you factor in his dubious blocking and pass catching skills he could end up way down. He maybe could have done himself some good with a year of Harbaugh. Doesn't matter now.


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I wish this had ended before [Body]

Output: I wish this had ended before the last three paragraphs. It's a great summary and retrospective but that pushed it over a line. You don't want to risk becoming that which you're finding fault with. Other than that I enjoyed it immensely - excellent read


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I noted the same things and [Body]

Output: I noted the same things and had the same reaction. It was exceptionally well crafted.


Input: [Date] 24 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I don't know how fascinating [Body]

Output: I don't know how fascinating he is but definitely weird. By now I assume he's stopped blaming all his problems on Jeff Meyer. Agreed he's a highly overrated coach. If something real good doesn't happen soon there it may get fun to watch.

Output: we'll take your word for it


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 2 days ago [Title] You would think they could at [Body]

Output: You would think they could at least use something approximating correct grammar, but then again consider the likely source. It took me a minute to figure out what "a Stanford Wayne Lyons mom" was. The rumored 4* 2016 son is also amusing considering how easy it is to identify in about 30 seconds any high school player with the slightest chance of being recruited. We say ye should go play outside.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 2 days ago [Title] couldn't have picked a better [Body]

Output: couldn't have picked a better example

Output: I see you're paying attention...good. The real point is to not worry about who didn't come.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 2 days ago [Title] You could really kill [Body]

Output: You could really kill yourself dwelling on players that didn't come to Michigan. Also, for every one that didn't come there could be a really popular player who came in their place. Best approach is to recruit as best you can then roll with the players you have.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 2 days ago [Title] How much is he really being [Body]

Output: How much is he really being screwed by a position coach leaving? Time to move on with the players we have, some of whom may end up being better than Weber. Way too much stock is being placed in this kid.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I'm not a conspiracy theorist [Body]

Output: I'm not a conspiracy theorist but this clearly looks like a situation where they were doing whatever they could to keep him away from Michigan. It smacks of total sleaze.

Output: You think the interview and hire all happened today? Seriously?


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I didn't sense the panic [Body]

Output: I didn't sense the panic you're referring to but admittedly was not on here that much. It was always going to be a small class and the big names were always a longshot to flip. JH and crew did well.

Output: not particularly


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I get what you're saying but [Body]

Output: I get what you're saying but think it's a stretch here. Maybe he just feels the guy who won the game for them deserves something really, really awesome. All this does is call more attention to the truck and make it more memorable.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I believe certain media [Body]

Output: I believe certain media requirements are in the contract, so yeah they actually did.


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Nothing, but if you have a [Body]

Output: Nothing, but if you have a very high paying job with certain behavioral expectations you should expect that job to be at risk. He's free to do what he wants and accept the consequences.

Output: true believer - to each their own


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Whatever you think of her [Body]

Output: Whatever you think of her music the whole thing was delightfully entertaining, which is all it's supposed to be. No one's there for high art or musical sophistication. The fireworks part was pretty awesome.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Why do you feel so compelled [Body]

Output: Why do you feel so compelled to judge how deep someone's bond is relative to someone else's based on your personal criteria? I went to graduate school at Michigan with people from Notre Dame who despite their degree developed little or no bond with Michigan. How does that compare with someone who grew up a diehard fan but for one reasonor another didn't go to Michigan? That's just one example, there are many others.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Don't get this [Body]

Output: I'm from NY and went to Michigan for graduate school but I know a lot of people around here who consider themselves Michigan fans without any of the hangups you seem to have experienced. They just like Michigan. Big time college football doesn't have a major presence here and plently of sports fans root for different teams. In most cases they never thought about going to Michigan out of HS (I didn't) so not being able to get in isn't a factor. There are many reasons people don't go to certain schools other than not having the grades, especially if they're out of state. Attitudes like yours alienate people who want to get behind Michigan regardless of where they went to college, or if they did go to college. I don't see the point other than feeding your own arrogance.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 2 days ago [Title] New Jersey's deeper than you [Body]

Output: New Jersey's deeper than you probably think, but this "loss" doesn't bother me. I'd be curious as to how the 27th rated player in Michigan compared - honestly I have no idea.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Correct me if I'm wrong but [Body]

Output: Correct me if I'm wrong but this seems kind of inconsequential

Output: I guess this is clever to someone


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I see it for UM and JH as [Body]

Output: I see it for UM and JH as being in a one-time scramble situation because he's coming in late with so few recruits committed. He has to look everywhere. I expect starting in 2016 he'll be emphasizing the core region (OH, MI) first.

Output: Connecticut here. Just brought home a new 28" 2-stage blower and ready for action. This is going to be intense. 50 MPH winds to go with the 20-30 inches.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Title] This isn't Kentucky [Body]

Output: "...chatman would be by far the worst. Every time he's in the game he's making a mistake. Kid needs to grow up fast" This isn't Kentucky. He's a true freshman...everyone adjusts at a different pace. I just hope he doesn't see comments like this. Especially strange after a game where he looked sharper than he has.

Output: What?

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Excellent work as always, Magnus. This may be purely anecdotal, but I've always thought ESPN overvalues the "wow" aspects of combine performances (40 times, verticals, etc.) relative to performance on the field. I understand that performance on the field is tough to gauge in high school due to varying levels of competition and the cream of the crop being so far ahead of the average high school football player, but the ESPN top 100 feels less like "best projected football players" and more "top physical freaks."

Output: detnews comments


Input: [Date] 5 years 10 weeks ago [Body] Interesting point Brian brought up at the end - that I think is essentially correct - about strategy being behind statistics. I think this is very true, and I always hated when Lloyd punted from the opponent's 38. This is a great column because it shows how far behind that thinking is. Despite RR's first few years being....less than stellar....I am encouraged at his risk taking usually and I think he will be much more willing to not punt on the opponent's side of the field. Couple of things about that though that I think go a long way in explaining the behavior - not excusing of course, but expaining- first, old habits die hard, and back when Lloyd started with Bo, 4th and 7 was a lot different then it is now. (Actually, I would love to see this chart from a prime Bo year, like 1972 or something, and see what the decision chart looked like then. I bet back then anything over 4th and 5 anywhere had really low returns. Then we could see what years current coaches are trapped in!) Anyway, when Carr had Henne and Braylon that 4th and 4 short pass was a very effective play, back in the day it was much less reliable. One of my principal complaints with Carr was that even though we obviously used Braylon to great effect, we could have used him even more on those stupid 4th and 3's at the Notre Dame 39 instead of punting. In fact, given Carr's willingness to use short passing much more than Bo I'm surprised he didn't go for that more often. In that way I totally agree with the column that the decion making is way behind what offenses can actually do now. But I think what explains that in part is what one might call a strategic decision verus what you might call a tactical one - Carr in general wanted to play a low-variance game. He wanted a game with no surprises more than he wanted to maximize one possession. This was usually a good thing for Michigan - against Indiana there was NEVER a reason to take chances no matter what. There was no reason to maximize one possession because, all things being equal, it was only a matter of time. And it's important to keep in mind that Carr was good at that part. What I think a lot of us would liked to have seen is more risk taking (and not even that big of a risk...) in close games where one possession had much more importance. This is kind of a related question, but due to all the data you had I wondered if you thought it suggested anything along these lines - is there any percentage at all in keeping the game within a score? Let's say we are down 10-0. Does that make a field goal make more sense statistically than if we are down 14-0? I know that kinda falls under game specifics, but I only wonder because I think a lot of coaches make decisions to keep the game within a score, and I was wondering whether there was anything to that or just a preference not to take chances? [Title]

Output: strategy is behind


Input: [Date] 5 years 11 weeks ago [Body] I do understand that the offense is quite a bit different these days but it is hilarious that the ABC commentators said "Michigan doesn't just run anymore, they pass sometimes" because we were passing so much more than before.

Sadly, there is actually some lapse in all of this on UM's part, and it's a shame, no matter how small the lapses may be. I also like the reasoned approach and can now feel more comfortable than ever in my previously held opinion that the Free Press is a bunch of slobs, and malicious slobs at that. To me, a huge mischaracetization is a huge lie, and I blame a lot of the outcry from the rest of the country on the Free Press. A lot of what this shows, actually, is how useless the NCAA can be. Lots of rules that don't make things any better. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Body] We did have them on the ropes in the first half, but we didn't take advantage. To me, scoring only 13 after all the opportunities we had wasn't good either. I was extremely concerned after the first half. [Title]

Output: kinda disagree


Input: [Date] 5 years 38 weeks ago [Body] I absolutely agree with your 6-6 or 7-5 before the season started, and that people are being too emotional now, because we have a fair shot to end up where we were going to end up generally. However, there is one thing that I find a little dissapointing, though, and of course this will depend on the Purdue game as much as Illinois- if we had beaten Illinois and Purdue, then we could say we took a huge step forward and beaten all the teams we should have beaten, plus maybe one extra, and lost to all the teams better than us, and I would have felt pretty ok about things. It would have been really nice to be absolutely comfortable that we had progressed from last year's disaster to being a real team again. An average or below average big ten team, granted, but a real big ten team. I think part of the reason people are so worked up is that after Illinois they are afraid that no such progress is being made. Illinois is really bad, and has been pounded by pretty much everyone- so I think the fear is that we just aren't getting any better. Is it too early to tell? Of course. Is it just one game? Of course. But, man, it was a stinker. So, I'm not saying that's right necessarily, or that the freak out crowd is right, but at this point it's more than simply whether we hit the 6-6 target or go -1 and go 5-7 or whatever. If we lose to Purdue, and go 5-7, then depending on manner of said loss, I think you could argue- with some fairness- that we really haven't made much progress this year. Maybe 5-7 would be more preogress than it seems, because we didn't lose to a MAC team, but only 1 big ten win would kinda suck. Now, I'm not ready to fire up the torches or anything extreme like that, but like Brian said yesterday, there is really legitimate concern at this point. It feels like every game this year is the most important, but once again Purdue will tell us a lot. If we can beat Purdue, then maybe we did just suck against Illinois and oh, well, shake it off and whatever. But if we lose to Purdue then I think there's a real possibility that something larger is wrong with the team that goes beyond youth or game mistakes. There is a real difference between reactionary whackos and a legitimate cause for concern, and right now I think there is legitimate cause for concern. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 years 26 weeks ago [Body] that "forcier exp threet" explains as much as you think it does...especially purdue, where we scored 40+ and lost. surely that one was on the defense, and it was the defense that lost with time running out... [Title]

Output: not sure


Input: [Date] 6 years 28 weeks ago [Body] and i must be getting crotchety too because i kinda agree. at least back then it was just a few good games (for the sake of the game) and we really didn't know who was champion. but since we still don't im pretty unsympathetic to the bcs. for nostalgia's sake i watched the 1986 fiesta bowl (jaime morris!) over the holidays and enjoyed it more than any game i watched this year. one caveat: 1997 was kinda annoying. but since the bcs hasn't really helped at all going back to old system doesn't seem so bad. [Title]

Output: im almost 30


Input: [Date] 6 years 32 weeks ago [Body] actually i have a theory about that...i think wherever you are the percentage of stupid people is always the same. i did not run into more (or less) idiots at michigan than i have anywhere else. [Title]

Output: theory of idiocy


Input: [Date] 6 years 32 weeks ago [Body] RR has proven his ability to use different QBs - although Shaun King at Tulane did get very good rushing yards, he was primarily a passer. Mallet was a good athlete and would have been fine in this offense just like King. I think people over-rely on the "he wasn't right for this offense" memo. He wanted out almost from day one- Carr had to convince him not to tansfer before the season even started. Mallett may have had the PERCEPTION that he wouldn't fit in this O, but that is a misnomer. I would not clalk up any poor outings Threet did have primarily to poor running. That was not among his most glaring defects, actually. If he would have thrown the ball well he'd have been fine. This is not to say RR wouldn't prefer to run- almost any coach would prefer to run. But don't be blinded by Pat White/Steve Slaton. They ran almost always because they had an awesome running game AND were also did not have a super great downfield passing game. If Threet could throw more consistently, he could well be successful in the spread. [Title]

Output: disagree


Input: [Date] 6 years 34 weeks ago [Body] with divisions, you have the silly result as this year, but without divisions, you have the possibility of rematches. i know this is a possibility with divisions too, but doesn't no divisions increase the posibility of silly rematches? look at this year- if you took #1 and #2, which have played already, it's possible that the other team wins, the teams are 1-1 against each other, and the only deciding factor is who won last. that doesn't seem quite right. think if the big 10 had a conference championship but no divisions, and the game was simply #1 vs. #2. think about the number of years where this would still have been michigan/ohio state even after the michigan/ohio state game- all those years that m/osu finished #1/#2 in the big ten they just would have had to turn around and play each other again in the conference championship.... [Title]

Output: kinda agree


Input: [Date] 6 years 34 weeks ago [Body] another person saying sharp is dumb, but man, he just is, so i can't help it. the thing about it is sharp just fixates on the most banal things he can possibly find (as pointed out above) and fixates on it forever. i really don't get it. also, he likes to act like everything occurs to him first, which is only true when he's saying something so asinine it wouldn't have occured to anyone else at all. [Title]

Output: i guess we don't need


Input: [Date] 6 years 34 weeks ago [Body] just some background on our "dinky tv's" -as far as michigan goes, those boards are pretty new- you obviously didn't attend any games before 1998 (i think it was 98). anybody remember the awesome black rectangular boxes? they didn't take those out that long ago, and i was shocked they did. i'm still thrilled with what we have to be honest...see this 98 michigan daily article http://www.pub.umich.edu/daily/nse98/news/news2.html i get your point about the tech, but i also understand people's fear about the game becoming an "experience" rather than a game. i am kind of in agreement with them that if we make stupid gitchy crap possible then stupid gitchy crap will happen. if they started to make wolverine sounds when we make a first down like the crap they do at northwestern and penn state i will tear my diploma into little pieces and mail it back to the universtity (dagnabbit). some old photos: http://www.umich.edu/stadium/history/ [Title]

Output: actually


Input: [Date] 6 years 34 weeks ago [Body] the post. yay Catholics. [Title]

Output: liked


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Body] I did read the article in full, but with respect, I still disagree. While I agree that Central and Michigan are different, i think this argument might be a little too nuanced- the only evidence we have of his coaching was a disaster. Accepting your argument for a moment, however, consider that Central was a pretty successful program when DeBord took over, and he immediately drove it into the ground. CMU has been good before and since. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Michigan_Chippewas_football So, actually, DeBord did take the reigns of an already successful program, and didn't do very well. [Title]

Output: i did read it


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Body] The passing metric is a little misleading since we throw a large number of 2 yard passes. [Title]

Output: we dont throw downfield


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Well, actually yes, considering we lost to Toledo this year- so, yes, I would consider beating both Eastern and Western (who beat Illinois and is much better than Toledo) quite an improvement. [Title]

Output: um, yes?


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Body] not all ctiticism is pure negativity. for example, two types of criticism: 1. RR is a shit 2. i might have chosen to run a different play on 3rd and 8. the first is overtly negative, and patently non-constructive. the second simply denotes a difference of opinion. part of the fun of football is arguing about what a coach should have done in a certain situation, what personnel should play, etc. i can get on board with quelling the unconstructive rants about how RR should be tarred, feathered, etc. those are silly. but to say a coach should never be criticized can't be quite right either. i think you're railing against what you see as unfair criticism to a team you love, so fine, but not everyone who has ever offered criticism is simply being a dickhead. [Title]

Output: ok, but


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Body] as usual. thanks. always enjoy reading these. [Title]

Output: good


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Body] hope its true. where does one obtain these forms? i need mine stamped.... [Title]

Output: yay!


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Body] not sure what you mean? we were in peace corps... [Title]

Output: maybe?


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Body] that Brian just posted something fairly similar- my only defense is that i wrote this mostly yesterday, at work, if that surprises anyone, before i saw his posting today. [Title]

Output: so, i just realized


Input: [Date] 6 years 35 weeks ago [Body] ...that good or bad? [Title]

Output: is.....


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Body] Niklas switched to TE this spring. The staff feels confident enough that Ishaq Williams will come through in the future, and Ben Councell (RS Freshman) has a lot of promise too. Niklas's nickname is Hercules, and as you said, he is huge. 6'7 and just jacked. Basically, we looking to the NE Patriots for inspiration on offense this year. We will be doing a lot of 2 TE sets with Eifert just catching passes, and whoever comes out behind him pass blocking. Niklas has showed a lot of promise already, and hes definetly somebody to look out for down the road. [Title]

Output: Niklas


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Body] I go to Onefootdown.com and NBCsports with Kieth Arnold. I only comment on those two because that is where actual rational posting occurs. NDnations is the worst. The Rivals is good writing, but then the comments are dumb to me. It all depends for different fans, but I really enjoy the two i mentioned. They both do a great job. I havent done much with irishenvy. [Title]

Output: I go to Onefootdown.com and


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Body] Its a sad, sad place. As you said though, it is a place for a good laugh. [Title]

Output: Im not sure anybody takes that place seriously any more.


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Body] If you want rationale, I would suggest NBC sports with Keith Arnold. He does a great job. Onefootdown.com is also phenomenal and my personal favorite. Those both give the honest perspective while also a hint of optimism. Good luck to you all this season. [Title]

Output: I dont go to either of those


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Body] Bennett Jackson has looked great. Everybody is raving about him. So basically it is Lo Wood vs Atkinson for the other CB spot. That point on the QB could turn on to be true (sadly for us). Rees is going to look the best in camp of course, because he has the most experience. But he has the lowest ceiling of all of them. You know what your going to get from Rees. Youll beat the ok and below teams. Struggle with good teams, and lose to the elite badly. Nobody wants rees. Crist did get screwed, and all us domers wish him the best. [Title]

Output: Irish


Input: [Date] 3 years 15 weeks ago [Body] Sorry, but I have to make sure some things are more clear 1. Correct. Basically every one wants Golson, but he hasnt stepped up. Since Rees has the most experience, he looks the best, but literally NOBODY wants him to start. 2. Lynch is back. I dont think many were to worried about him leaving. Certailny not 50/50. He is one of the few players on the team who is a beast. He didnt play against UM last year, but tore it up against MSU. Hes the real deal. 3. Riddick is back at RB but will be more of a RB/WR hybid. That allows us to put 2 players out of Wood, Riddick, Atkinson and Carlisle (Tansfer from USC) on the field at once. Excited about that. 4. Notre Dame is not getting field turf. No idea where that came from. Tyler Eifert made a sarcastic tweet about it, but the boards would be BLOWING up if ND was getting field turf. This is just not true. However, BK does want it. 5. I havent seen one National Championship prediction yet. Nobody expects to be that good. There are still some who expect BCS, but I would say the moajority expect an 8-4/9-3 season. Have not seen one post referring to Hoke & company paying recruits. Your recruiting ability scares us right now, and thats about the feelings on it. I also dont think any one expect to steal your recruits. We were working on Taco, but we have moved on other DEs. We have a great OL class of our own right now, so there not much to steal there. We really dont even go after many of the same players considering our systems are exact opposites. It seems to me that you are visitind NDnation.com. Stop doing this. That is where ND fans are delusional, and really uniformed pricks who expect NC's every year. They think we should just pay Nick Saban and he'll come like its nothing. They are horribly delusional and represent ND in a bad bad bad bad way. Please stop going to that place. Personally, I expect probably a 9-4 season. Rees starts the season. Defense is actually quite solid (even with the collapse against you guys last year) and just need to sure up the two CB spots. Losing MF3 hurts, and that will be a struggle. Golson really needs to get on the field. Hes the most talented to me. But we are NOWHERE near a NC contender right now. Cya sometime in late September. [Title]

Output: Notre Dame Fan here.


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Body] ND graduates 3/4 of the D backfield. Needs to replace a lot. We lose another next year, and lose a couple back ups this year. Last year We pulled for DLine (Lynch, Tuitt, Williams, Springman, Hounshell, Niklas) this year its D backfield. On the redshirting, that is unknown. Tee Shepard wil play. If Darby stays with us (prolly wont) hell play. Then some of the safties will play. [Title]

Output: ND CLASS


Input: [Date] 3 years 28 weeks ago [Body] 1. ND preaches great academics. IK UofM has great academics, but ND really preaches this being a 40 year decision. ND boasts the #1 business school in the nation, and that brings a lot of positive attention. 2. Tradition. You can hate ND, but its tradition is remarkable and only UofM has a better one (and it could be debateably tied) 3. Great Facitilities 4. Faith. Those of the Catholic denomination love the fact that ND is THE Catholic University. (and manti teo who is mormon, thought it improved his faith) 5. Campus is beautiful. One of the best in the nation. 6. BK preaches a good future, and kids are buying it. 7. ND is just for some kids. For most it is not. But there a select few every year that love ND and what it represents. [Title]

Output: ND FAN HERE


Input: [Date] 5 days 20 hours ago [Body] Tried it at a friends place on PS4 shortly after it came out and ended up buying it on PC. Fortunately, being tech savvy and having used it before, I reintalled the driver that makes my PS3 controller work on my PC, and even found an alternate to the tool used for it that has a much better UI and isn't made in China. Definitely hope they get a cross-platform party system in soon. A lot of my friends have it on PS4 since it was free for PS+ users this month and it sucks I can't intentionally play with them. (Hilariously, I did randomly end up in the same game against a few of them once) [Title]

Output: Tried it at a friends place
