Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Title] What, because it's not CC [Body]

Output: What, because it's not CC talk? This is a perfectly normal thread to have on a sports blog. Not that we've had many normal threads here lately...


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Funchess is probably a bit [Body]

Output: Funchess is probably a bit faster, and certainly a bigger target. I could see Gardner being a better route runner once he's healthy and has some practice with it, as he's definitely the more agile of the two. I'd have to say Funchess, but I wouldn't be shocked to see Gardner put together a career at WR if he chooses to pursue that.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 1 day ago [Title] "I said, 'Are you Harbaugh?' [Body]

Output: "I said, 'Are you Harbaugh?' They said, 'I'm Harbaugh if you Harbaugh.' I said, 'We Harbaugh, then.'”


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Why do you say that? Kiffin [Body]

Output: Why do you say that? Kiffin is a very well respected offensive mind and coordinator. That he put up similar numbers to Nuss doesn't reflect poorly on either.


Input: [Date] 33 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm going to abduct your [Body]

Output: I'm going to abduct your tires. This is ridiculous.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] Lmao everybody loves Sam [Body]

Output: Lmao everybody loves Sam until he starts saying things people don't like. Iirc over the past couple of weeks he's been pretty upfront about not having much real insider info. The fact that he's citing sources right now should really tell you something - this guy is legit plugged in, and this shouldn't be discounted just because Brian or Tom Beaver say otherwise.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Per the mods, it happens [Body]

Output: Per the mods, it happens automatically when traffic gets too high to allow more people to access the site.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] In retrospect, yes. But at [Body]

Output: In retrospect, yes. But at the time it was most certainly a no-brainer. Pretty much everyone, including this blog, thought the hire was a good one.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Title] lmao... You are blaming the [Body]

Output: lmao... You are blaming the current football team on the university's president? You really think Mary Sue had major input on our coaching hires? I certainly hope not. The only thing she had any hand in was hiring Dave Brandon, which at the time seemed like a wonderful idea to pretty much everybody. Would you really have wanted Mary Sue of all people to veto the Athletic Director's choice for a head coach? What makes her qualified to do that in your eyes? Not to mention, she has so many bigger things to handle as the president of the University of Michigan - unlike what MGoBlog may tell you, the school is about more than football. ridiculous


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 3 days ago [Title] How many times is he going to [Body]

Output: How many times is he going to say it???

Output: Best part about today? New Star Wars trailer!!


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Not that it really matters [Body]

Output: Not that it really matters for what Belein is saying, but for the record I'm a current UM student and all 4 of my classes today were cancelled. In my experience the majority are.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Sorry, but if you think you [Body]

Output: Sorry, but if you think you have a better idea of what will make ESPN money than ESPN does, you're just wrong. They put millions of dollars into determining what exactly their schedule should look like, and they're pretty damn good at it. If you think they put the basketball game later than the football game for no reason, you're crazy.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Peaked? We haven't even BEGUN [Body]

Output: Peaked? We haven't even BEGUN to peak! And when we do peak? You'll know! Because we're going to peak so hard, that everyone in Columbus is going to feel it!

Output: The possibilities are endless! Cats as pregame speakers! Bubble screens on every down! Digital visits over instant messaging with creepy avatars! How could it go wrong?


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 4 days ago [Title] It's not a bad point. I [Body]

Output: It's not a bad point. I remember there were similar rape allegations at a fraternity at UM last year or two years ago, at a mixer with a sorority. I remember overhearing two other girls from that sorority complaining to one another that the girl (their sorority sister) totally fucked them over by going to the authorities and that nobody would want to mix with them going forward. It's a much bigger issue than just guys.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Well no, but a better analogy [Body]

Output: Well no, but a better analogy would be would you take the job as president, provided that you love America, being president is your dream job, and you are a very successful politician already? Then of course. The people around here who think Hoke should have known better than to come here for god knows what reason, or that he ought to abandon him team and just leave, really perplex me.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Scores are determined [Body]

Output: Scores are determined objectively, but deciding what sorts of questions to put on the test is certainly subjective. Perhaps that's what he meant.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Ivy League schools are not [Body]

Output: Ivy League schools are not hurting for money, even in today's "tough times."


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 1 day ago [Title] ^Funniest comment thread I've [Body]

Output: ^Funniest comment thread I've seen on here in a while. Takes me back to 2010 or so when it was all jokes and photoshop threads.


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Exactly what this reminded me [Body]

Output: Exactly what this reminded me of. Also throwback to when that was one of the biggest issues on this board...


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Just playing devil's advocate [Body]

Output: Just playing devil's advocate here, but it's silly to say that just because Gibbons didn't come from a rough background that context didn't play a role in his decision. He was a football player, finally experiencing some noteriety around campus, hanging out with other football players who are used to getting girls in similar ways all the time, no doubt pressured by the other football players he was hanging out with to go after this girl and to not take no as an answer... context is still key. Brian said that there's no way to know if any of us would make the same decision as Clark given his situation - the same logic applies here (if you buy it).


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Contrition? That could just [Body]

Output: Contrition? That could just as easily be the face of someone who is only upset because he knows he just lost his shot at a future in football. Clark has a much longer past of getting into trouble than Gibbons did, so I don't see how he get's the benefit of the doubt when it comes to remorse.


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I agree. He went on to say [Body]

Output: I agree. He went on to say that he wasn't drawing any sort of equivalence from the soccer punch to Clark's assault... well then why mention it? Because that's certainly the implication of discussing both actions back to back.


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I fixed up the wording of my [Body]

Output: I fixed up the wording of my comment just before you posted this. Basically, I'd agree with your last sentence there.


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I fixed up the wording a bit [Body]

Output: I fixed up the wording a bit before you posted this. I agree.


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Yes, upbringing and context [Body]

Output: Yes, upbringing and context has a huge effect on why people do things like this. Yes, it's tragic for all involved. But the line that someone can just be set up to do things like this applies in literally every single poor decision ever. Sure, Frank Clark had a very rough upbringing and never received the support that many do. There were no doubt tons of factors in Csont'e York's upbringing which led to him KO'ing a defenseless man in a club. There are tons of factors in Adrian Peterson's upbringing which led him to believe that it was perfectly ok to beat his kid. They all still did those things. If this is going to be your line, that's fine - to be perfectly honest I sympathize with it as well. I also agree that it's silly to jump on the internet and call people scumbags for things like this, while ignoring the context. But I hope to not see you denounce any player for anything they do off the field in the future without equal consideration.

Input: [Date] 36 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Oh please. But it's just fine [Body]

Output: Oh please. But it's just fine to give a dance student academic credit for learning to move their body in a way that dance critics like? I get that it doesn't have the same cultural "high society" status, but outside of that what's the difference? And is that difference enough to justify sticking with the status quo of faux-student athletes?


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I've gotten the impression [Body]

Output: I've gotten the impression that a lot of his issues with the football team are not that they aren't technically graduating, it's that a solid chunk of them would have 0 chance of graduating without taking super easy classes, having tutors write papers for them, etc. If Schlissel wants an athletic department filled with athletes who can hold their own in a classroom too I'm ok with that, though I don't see how it happens. We certainly have a long way to go to get to that point.


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 1 day ago [Title] "at the time undefeated" lmao [Body]

Output: "at the time undefeated" lmao it was week 2, at the time 50% of the NCAA was undefeated.


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 3 days ago [Title] One was said on the record to [Body]

Output: One was said on the record to members of the media, the other was said to a class of Michigan students. I really don't see how they're that similar at all considering that.


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Well he's right. I would love [Body]

Output: Well he's right. I would love to have Harbaugh here but he was a dick for saying it and that hasn't changed. I also think it's completely ridiculous that you all are taking this so seriously. It was an associate AD talking to a CLCIV class.... And honestly, it could have been a perfectly good example to bring up depending on the subject of his talk. I doubt Ablouf is crusading through the AD against hiring Harbaugh because of this comment.


Input: [Date] 37 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Not to be rude, [Body]

Output: By today's standards, every slave owner in the 1800's would be arrested. How crazy is that??


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I wondered the same thing, [Body]

Output: I wondered the same thing, then realize they have Ace Sanders back there - really no need to try Denard there too.


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 3 hours ago [Title] Never thought I'd see "Lewan" [Body]

Output: Never thought I'd see "Lewan" and "D&D" in the same sentence... I'll leave now

Output: Lol you're right we should have hired someone with more experience within an athletic department... oh wait... we're a university not just a football team.

Input: [Date] 41 weeks 4 days ago [Title] He was absolutely jamming [Body]

Output: He was absolutely jamming today. I feel like he genuinely appreciates the opportunity to just dance around and return kicks in front of 100k+, and he shows it. I love it.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Title] (No subject) [Body]

Output: This post is my favorite.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Bingo. I don't see how this [Body]

Output: Bingo. I don't see how this is so hard to get from our perspective. Attacking part of the team means attacking the entire team. Isn't that how you would want a team to operate? And as I said before, the abuse isn't just directed towards the coaches, a lot of it is directed towards the players too believe it or not. When you're getting personally attacked by students and alumni and then someone else goes on to attack your coach, it's much more likely that you take it personally as well.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Players see the coaches as a [Body]

Output: Players see the coaches as a part of the team, and when you attack the coaches the players feel attacked as well. A lot of what I've heard from people close to the team right now supports this - they feel attacked. Not to mention that a lot of the time the players are the ones who are the targets of abuse, its happened a lot this year from alumni and even some current students. Fact is, yes they cannot separate attacks on the coaches from attacks on them, but why should they? They're a team! If you can't get that it's your own fault, not theirs.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 7 hours ago [Title] I'm in the "given up" camp. I [Body]

Output: I'm in the "given up" camp. I still know way more than I should about the team, the game of football, etc, I just don't care as much when we lose. I even left a couple of games early this year. Does this make me less of a fan? Maybe. I can't say I worry about that too much. Quite frankly I'd rather be less of a fan and maintain a healthy mental state than the alternative.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 22 hours ago [Title] If I was in the NBA and got a [Body]

Output: If I was in the NBA and got a packet full of 100's I'd snapchat all my friends for sure, we'd all think it's hilarious. I don't think this is a big deal at all.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Not So Fast My Friend... [Body]

Output: Great event! I remember talking to one of the guys who organized this, great dude. Still waiting on those tickets, Cameron.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] Prove it. I see this comment [Body]

Output: Prove it. I see this comment a lot, but the fact of the matter is that winning teams still have breakdowns in communication all the time, especially with regards to their medical staffs. Please explain how coaching ability and communication with the sideline neurologist are 100% correlated. I'm not saying there's absolutely no connection, and it's certainly easy at this point to point to larger institutional dysfunction given both factors (this incident and being 2-3), but don't act like one can only happen with the other.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 9 hours ago [Title] Call it what you want to call [Body]

Output: Call it what you want to call it, but this sort of thing happens all the time all over the place and people only care now because we (A) are losing, and (B) have a fan base big enough to make a national stink about it. Hell, we've had stuff like this happen at Michigan before and it hasn't been this big a deal. Remember when we had a player sexually assault a girl? And had another player help him? And had the AD try to cover it up? Nobody gave a shit because we were in the middle of a BCS run. You tell me what the difference is, because this sure as hell isn't a more serious offense. That's what Herbstreit is referring to.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 23 hours ago [Title] University does a lot more [Body]

Output: University does a lot more than hire and fire AD's. Brian is a fantastic sports blogger but I don't want him anywhere near the university in such a capacity.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Seriously. If anything, [Body]

Output: Seriously. If anything, boycotting Maryland over Penn State because Penn State is a really cool environment against a good team at night with all of this cool other stuff surrounding the game means Brandon wins. Penn State at night is perhaps the most "Brandon-ized" game on the schedule. Waiting for a worse game is ridiculous.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I said previously that I have [Body]

Output: I said previously that I have a friend on the athletic training staff (a student) who insisted that there was no concussion, and that was the truth. He was still saying this as late as yesterday. If anything, the fact that they can't get their full training staff on the same page about an injury like this reflects even more poorly.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I was previously on the "it's [Body]

Output: I was previously on the "it's not that big a deal, it was only one play" side of things, but if anything the absolute monstrosity that is our AD's handling of this situation has made me even more upset. Lying, miscommunication within the organization, patronizing fans... Brandon needs to be fired within the week.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Nor would I hire any of the [Body]

Output: Nor would I hire any of the dozens of counterexamples where a DII coach is pulled up to coach a DI school and fails.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Title] One play where he handed the [Body]

Output: One play where he handed the ball off. I'm with you. There are a lot of different possible narratives for this story and the only reason this one has taken hold is because we are losing a lot of games. The only reason it is a national story is that people are pissed enough about us losing games that it will sell nationally. Morris should have come out of the game earlier, obviously. Coaches made a mistake, obviously. It's probably worth a couple of mgoblog threads and hand wringing. Nothing more. I mean, I remember when ND played Clausen (I think) after he had a cuncussion and could only see out of one eye at halftime - that didn't even make it this big, and that was worse on pretty much every level.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I'm sure he's a great coach [Body]

Output: I'm sure he's a great coach for his current situation, but being HC of a DIII school and being HC of a premier DI school are very very different jobs. I just get the feeling that he will not have the track record to demand the respect of the players here, nor the experience around big ego's to keep them in check. I think it's pretty clear that our problems go far beyond X's and O's, and if we want to fix them I think we'll need a guy who's more than just an offensive innovator, we're going to need a big name, hardcore leader. If not Harbaugh, at least someone with similar experience on a DI level.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Agree with the other posters. [Body]

Output: Agree with the other posters. Choosing Maryland to boycott is half-assed and quite frankly ridiculous. If you're really fed up, the boycott starts now.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Title] My thought exactly. People [Body]

Output: My thought exactly. People don't seem to realize that Shane was only put in for one play, on which everybody knew he was only going to go in, hand the ball off, and come back to the sideline. There was no risk of reinjury.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Title] As I said in another thread, [Body]

Output: As I said in another thread, he was not concussed as per an athletic trainer friend of mine. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad

Output: Agree 100%, I was going to say this myself but my internet was messing up.


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 3 days ago [Title] For what it's worth I have a [Body]

Output: For what it's worth I have a friend on the athletic training staff and he says Morris wasn't concussed.

Input: [Date] 44 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] "the odds of Michigan [Body]

Output: "the odds of Michigan crossing midfield 12 times and failing to score or reach the red zone 11 times are 0.002 percent." I don't even know how to read this stat. This is really why I'm so confused that we're so bad on offense - it doesn't ever seem like we can't get off the ground, but every drive finds some way to fall apart before we put points up. Bizzare.

Output: Wow. A ticket giveaway that is literally just a small icon of a torn piece of paper? I am dissapoint, Brandon.


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Cosign. I hate to say it, but [Body]

Output: Cosign. I hate to say it, but my passion for this team has faded over the past few years. I no longer get upset when we lose. The only thing that's left is a deep sadness that these players and coaches, who I so dearly want to succeed, are failing. They work so hard, and care so much, only to fall short. It sucks.

Input: [Date] 45 weeks 1 day ago [Title] What matters is that he [Body]

Output: What matters is that he thinks he turned out fine. Therefore he feels justified in raising his kid the same way. Your or my character assessments don't really enter the equation. Also, just because he "went to college" (as a star athlete I'd add) and lives "as a rich dude" doesn't mean he's ever had those beliefs challenged. In fact I'd say the opposite, that both of those things point to him living in a bubble.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Hot take [Body]

Output: I have what seems like an unpopular take on the issue, but I'm curious to see what people think about it. First off I'll just say that I'm personally 100% against physical discipline such as this, I was never hit as a child, and I have no interest in doing the same to my future children. That having been said, we live in a country where the vast majority of people believe that some level of corporal punishment is ok. Peterson himself grew up in an environment where discipline with a switch was the norm, and he himself was disciplined this way. He has likely never had anybody in his life confront those beliefs. He grew up with it, turned out more than fine, and therefore sees it as an effective way of disciplining his child. It's easy for some of us to sit back and say it's a disgusting way to treat a child (and it is), but at what point is it fair to say that Peterson didn't know any better? I certainly have a lot more sympathy for his situation than I do Rice's.

Output: Tribal Police responded on April 8 to the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort for a complaint of a stolen purse. According to the officer’s report, Rawls and a friend used credit cards stolen from the purse to purchase sub sandwiches and gasoline. ...seriously??


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Regression to the mean [Body]

Output: There's a reason season predictions always take into account TO margin and compensate for regression to the mean accordingly. TO's are very close to random and they are extremely high variance. We've played 2 good games and 1 bad game, with two of those having weirdly bad TO margins. If we can approach average with regards to turnovers (and we are likely to), we'll start passing the eye test a whole lot better. We look good but not great in every other metric.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I would expect that shoulder [Body]

Output: I would expect that shoulder pads fit much better now than they did back then, helping to reduce injuries. I'd also expect that it's a lot easier to run through tight spaces in these, which benefits just about every position.

Input: [Date] 1 year 31 weeks ago [Body] And there's three scholarship QBs and two walk ons. It has only mattered for the copper bowl where one of the priorities is getting younger guys more practice and game time. Should he have recruited extra kickers/punters because Gibbons can't go and Hagerup is suspended? A bigger priority at the time was trying to build depth at OL and LB where players rotate and get injured much more often. [Title]

Even more impressive when you consider how BC play, highly skilled and like to possess the puck. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Body] it's definitely a cool kids club in section 17. My roommate and I won't sit there. I thought Thursday was the best the student section had been since my freshman year with Carl Hagelin and Co. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Body] Much better puck movement in the offensive end than what I expected. Thought it was going to be a lot of grinding goals, but so far a lot of nice passing. especially shows on the much improved pp [Title]

Output: Much better puck movement in the offensive end


Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Body] Total team corsi is good for previewing a matchup, especially in B1G pay when we'll see each team four times. But as a post game recap I find it less useful, it simply says who carried pay which is more or less obvious by watching the game. Player/line corsi is more useful at breaking down who played well or poorly in a particular game, but is obviously more time intensive. GbG stuff is a lot more informative on the technical side. [Title]

Output: Total team corsi is good for previewing a matchup,

Output: Doesn't seem like he cares


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] I wouldn't forget the Ducks in the West, have been playing very well this year and could easily give Chicago a run for their money over 7 games. There's also Montreal and Boston out east who still have stronger goaltending than the Pens, which is the great equalizer in the playoffs. [Title]

Output: I wouldn't forget the Ducks


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] I went to bed at one and Iggy was Boston-bound, I wake up at 9 and he's going to Pittsburgh. I can only assume the Pens pulled the same witchcraft from when they got Crosby, Malkin, and Fleury all at once. [Title]

Output: I went to bed at one and Iggy was Boston-bound, I


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Body] The series at Yost was probably just before the really crappy part. Going into that series Michigan hadn't scored less than 4 goals in a game and went another weekend before scoring less than 3. After that the real crap began and they had a 6 game stretch where they scored 6 goals total and averaged 4.5 goals against, a trend which continued until basically Febuary. That said I really like our chances, we seem to be playing out of our minds (or maybe just to our talent level). And Miami lost last weekend to FYS, which in the games I've seen them play is deservedly the worst team in the conference. Not to mention we have been lighting up some of the top goalies in the country in Slubowski and Hjelle and will need more of the same against Ryan McKay who is pretty much hands down the best goalie in hockey [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] I agree with all that you said. This team just doesn't do "the little things" like they should. The refusal to dump and chase, poor board play (better tonight), losing almost all the puck battles, unable to keep the puck in the zone (often leading to odd man rushes). These are the little things that less talented teams like Bowling Green are beating us at. There are some players doing these consistently - Copp, Sinelli, Treais, Nieves, Kevin and Travis Lunch come to mind. But as a whole they're not done enough. [Title]

Output: Good Assessment

Output: hey smartass


Input: [Date] 1 day 12 hours ago [Body] unless charges are filed, it's her word against his. There may be some compelling evidence, but these are allegations, not charges. This is a criminal allegation, handled by police. It stayed as an allegation.No charges were brought against either of these players. The dismissal from the team is a judgement call, made by the person making that judgement. But that does not make any sort of legal judgement, which is the judgement which matters most. It's reprehensible that a person on the football team would even be in a situation where this was alledged, but I'm really sick of this things being thrown around without the full context of the situation (a lack of charges being brought) [Title]

Output: can we stop this bullshit


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] Williams? Swarthmore? Pamona? lol. And don't give me this "they're great schools!" nonsense. These Forbe articles are nothing but an open hand from Forbes to have these smaller schools get advertisement and for Forbes to get some back door money - enrollment at small liberal art schools has been in decline since the last recession. Gee, I wonder why? They're paying to have articles/rankings written like this so they can try and reverse the declining enrollment. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] why not here, and why not now? Also, who are they lining up against that has you worried so much prior to October 17th and the last Saturday in November? Do we not have the coach that can actually take talent and develop it? Is the talent and coaching we face outside of two Saturdays really better? In my estimation, it's not. Last time I checked, our current guy has done that better than anyone else in the country. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] which is not based on any forward looking realistic projection. Yes, the past was bad. Really bad. The talent _is there_ though. The coach sucked. He was a talent and food black hole. If you don't think there will be a marked improvement from the WR group (admitedly, it wouldn't take much) then I would love to hear your thoughts on how Harbaugh must be coachspeak bullshitter with respect to his comment on how he expects this group to compete for a national championship. [Title]

Output: tired of the defeatist bullshit here


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] with a guy who couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag. Look, there's a reason why Harbaugh said he's looking to win a national championship this year and it's not just coachspeak - the dude knows the hand he has relative to the schedule he's playing; he knows it can be done. [Title]


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Rudock is good. Not great, just good. He actually limits his mistakes and has shown he can thread the needle in the few moments that Iowa asked him to that, which wasn't nearly as often as it should have been, because Iowa. WR 1 - Chesson WR 2 - Darboh RB1 - Johnson No I don't know the future, but based on what I've seen/heard, that's what I'm going with. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Utah is missing some key personnel where we would definitely benefit from - for our passing game to work on Game 1, we definitely need some help there. And we got it - Ruddock + their two CB's graduating/replacement CB being dismissed from the program. BYU - tough, but at home. Offense/Defense should start hitting their stride by this game. Oregon State - win UNLV - garbage. Maryland - might be difficult, but we have a talent/coaching advantage. It's the Minnesota/PSU games that are a bit tricky - playing at night in Happy Valley is never easy. But their OL (still) sucks. We can win that. sparty - hand to hand combat ohio state - war if we can break through and beat sparty, this team gets a huge shot of confidence and is entirely in control of their destiny. And anything can and does happen in games against ohio state. [Title]

Output: I don't see the OOC part as being very tough


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] lol at them thinking Michigan won't be great this year. Uh, guys - Utah is very much looking like a win since their two CB's aren't there/new DC. msu game is the fulcrum - we win that, and it's for all the marbles when osu comes to town. I like our chances at 10-1 going into that game (I assume we will lose a fluke game on the road, psu or minnesota) Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] my girlfriend and I pay $50/month for 25mbit down/5mbit up Comcast internet, and $40/month for the TV service via the Slingbox. So $90 total. I never have to chase down a low bitrate stream, I watch things in 720p @ 60fps, it's legal, and half the price ($180) of the comparable package for other services. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 hours ago [Body] if we have a choice in our consumption habits (last time I checked, I do), why wouldn't I prefer to wear the better apparel? This is why I stopped buying Michigan gear a few years ago. Why spend another dollar if I can wait until Michigan signs with Nike again? [Title]

Output: more along the lines of not liking an incompetent apparel maker


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 hours ago [Body] I kept some nike t-shirts/polos. But they're getting a bit worn in the eight years since nike has been Michigan's apparel provider. But thanks for playing wrt to the sarcasm. [Title]

Output: good news


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 hours ago [Body] There is no argument, it's known. Adidas is just inferior from a design standpoint with respect to Michigan apparel, material composition, and overall construction- it's ugly. But in a broader sense - why nike is a $90 billion dollar company by market capitlization and adidas is $14 billion? Same reasons. [Title]

Output: There is no argument, it's


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 10 hours ago [Body] It's a big deal because Adidas is 2nd best, Michigan is not. When you're wearing your teams gear/logo, and you're among the enemy in the workplace, you want to feel like you have best stuff (after wins and losses of course). Adidas made garbage - just pure garbage. Nike makes some nice stuff. I think because Brian lived in A2 and is largely immune to the sparty coworkers, it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it matters to a degree. You want the best team with the best apparel provider. Play good, look good, feel good. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad [Title]

Output: Those are pretty good


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Body] 1) Cotton hoodies/crewneck sweatshirts that say 'Michigan Football' in our normal font with a swoosh. It is amazing how adidas screwed up the most basic designs by trying to be edgy. Classic is timeless. It sells. Don't mess with it by adding extra stripes or other nonsense. Make high quality basic pieces, and let the kids eat up the more exotic stuff. 2) You'll notice the first word for #1 begins with 'Cotton' - I looked at Tenneesee's athletic apparel site (http://shop.utsports.com/) and was disappointed to see that many of the hoodies/crewneck sweatshirts are polyester. Polyester sucks. If I'm going to drop $60-70 on a hoodie, it better be made with at least 70% cotton. 3) These home jerseys - use the same design from the 1995 season; Subtle, classy. Only those looking for the M could see it. Use the 1999/2000 away jersey (but move the swoosh to the left shoulder- Do these three things, and I could live with a 'uniformz' jersey they wear once a year during a night game. Harbaugh! [Title]

Output: exactly


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] perfectly valid question. i have a few t-shirts with with holes in them, but i'll be damned if I spend another dollar on adidas. [Title]

Output: shut up


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] The current deal with Adidas (somewhere between 4-5 mil?) is rumored to be what Nike is willing pay us. Essentially matching what we're currently getting. So to terminate the adidas deal and forgo adidas paying us for the 2015-2016 season, and having nike pay us instead for the 2015-2016 season; there would be no intreruption in cash flow in this scenario. Of course this would all be contingent on adidas willfully opting out of the contract as well - I don't see that happening. They are going to milk sales for all its worth this last year if Michigan Football/Basketball have big years. That is they see fans holding off on purchasing gear when it's announced (please god let it happen) that Michigan will be going back to Nike. [Title]

Output: not as far fetched as you may think

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 21 hours ago [Title] Interesting stuff [Body]

Output: Everything seems kind of what I would expect...except the "glitch" in your first plot where it is more likely to be a 7 year player in the NFL than a 4 year player. I will take a stab at a theory. Generally speaking, the plot should simply decrease as time goes by (age + injury potential). But at year ~4, some guys "figure out" how to be NFL players and stick another so many years. Those guys who figure it out last until the age/injury curve makes them leave and the curve goes back down. So the glitch is the guys who figure out how to be a professional. That being said, it might just be monetary or maybe based on contract length!


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I'll do my son [Body]

Output: He fell just short of getting a U of M football scholarship. He didn't want to leave the state for Purdue, Iowa or Minnesota. ...so he went to Western....they wanted him on Defense...he wanted to play RB....he made travel team his freshman year....3rd game of the year is against Michigan at the big house....2001....because he was easily the biggest back....they had him playing FB to simulate Michigan's offense for Western ' s Defense. So the week leading up to the game he did that....well 9-11 happened...they postponed the game....the following week while practicing at FB still he got rolled by an Olineman....snapped 3 of 4 ligaments in his knee...he never recovered and still has knee problems to this day.....FUCK OSAMA BIN LADEN

Input: [Date] 23 weeks 6 days ago [Title] for me... [Body]

Output: 1) Derrick Green - before he got hurt he was running extremely well. I think Harbaugh will rely on him for most games 2) Peppers - I always wanted him at safety because he will be all over the field. Look for 5 or 6 interceptions, 4 sacks, 3 fumble recoveries, 1 punt return for a TD, etc... 3) Moe Ways - I think he is our next great WR. Dude has all the tools to wear #1

Input: [Date] 28 weeks 5 days ago [Title] In the article about Harbaugh and QBs [Body]

Input: [Date] 29 weeks 22 hours ago [Title] just a theory... [Body]

Output: What if Bosch had a real problem (e.g. drinking) and he decided to leave the team or maybe even Hoke thought it best he leave the team to work on it....he came back and Harbaugh said fine but this is what I want (e.g. never have a drink)...my point is that maybe it is the personal issue causing this and Harbaugh's stipulations were not what Bosch wanted....just a theory

Input: [Date] 43 weeks 54 min ago [Title] Brian Kelly [Body]

Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] But sticking with my point [Body]

Output: (only because it is what I am hoping)....Jim H also saw 2 years ahead and 3 years and even 4 and knew power football was going to be in trouble...and thats just discussing the Oline. No QBs that Jim would want were on the roster either....I know I am dreaming...but damn I don't want to pinch myself!


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I wonder..... [Body]

Output: If Jim actually did not want the job before, because he is a power football coach in college AND he saw what RR had left over. Not a power football loaded team. Maybe Jim knew it would take a few years to transition to what he likes (i.e. power) and it was something he didn't want to deal with. However, if he looks now, I think he sees a team ready to be a true power football team that can win right away (assuming good QBing which I know Jim would think he could take care of). Maybe I am just talking myself into it....but hey a guy can hope.....


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] The way I read the situation was we told him that in order to play again he'd have to sit for at least six months. As an uncommon senior that would likely be the death knell of his playing career. He's transferring to Texas tech where he has to sit for a year anyway.

Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I think my major issue with this is that people go to university to learn to become the person they are, they find their own views. If we start banning things because people are discomforted by them, it's a slippery slope to only having one accepted viewpoint. I haven't seen the movie, but I highly doubt it's "The Birth of a Nation: Part Two". I think if you don't like something, by all means speak out against it and say why you find it wrong. I draw the line when it comes to surpressing what you dislike. As far as the safety issue goes, I find it to be overblown. Racist assholes are going to be racist assholes, this movie is not going to change that for better or worse. Especially on a progressive campus like U of M. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 week 23 hours ago [Body] 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? [Title]

Output: Price is worth more.


Input: [Date] 4 hours 44 min ago [Title] That's highy speculative. [Body]

Output: It's a good decision, but you can't really argue that waiting until so close to the deadline to even field offers maximizes their value. You always risk the number of sellers going up and the number of buyers dropping. Hopefully, it works out.


Input: [Date] 4 hours 51 min ago [Title] If Mullen's concern is for the students, [Body]

Output: then is he in favor of 5 year guaranteed scholarships too? Has he been in favor of 4 year guaranteed scholarships, or is this just him wanting his own job to be easier? The flip side to his argument is simple. If players are eligible to play an extra year, then there will be fewer scholarships available for incoming freshmen every year. The scope of his solution doesn't fit the potentiall problem. After a few years, few recruits will need to take an academic redshirt. Students will adjust to the new standards. How many freshmen does he redshirt as it is? (Of those, how many are coming back for their fifth year?) If all, then the rule has no effect. If most, then it has a minimal effect. If none or few, then it again has a minimal effect. For the freshmen that do play, who are they taking playing time from? Is it the other freshmen that aren't ready, or from players already on the roster. In other words, just how often would one true freshman's ineligibility directly lead to burning one from someone who wasn't ready? Beyond that, how many of those freshmen would prefer not to play, given the option? Ultimately, I think it's a tiny number.


Input: [Date] 12 hours 17 min ago [Title] The change in schedule happened because of realignment. [Body]

Output: The schedules need to have 3 home/3 away versus division opponents. That wasn't possible last year without changing the rotation of some games.


Input: [Date] 12 hours 27 min ago [Title] I don't know. [Body]

Output: If Brandon ignored the OSU game, two bad things could happen. OSU uses your logic and ignores it too. Much more likely, is that the opinion of one school about a rivalry doesn't carry as much weight as both schools'. The system didn't automatically grant AD's requests, as I understood it.


Input: [Date] 12 hours 42 min ago [Title] Hackett's done a masterful job with the cards he was dealt, [Body]

Output: but those were fantastic cards. Getting Harbuagh was a coup. That he was available was pure chance. The Nike contract was great. That it was up for renewal, again pure chance. Hackett could have done just as good a job and had to settle for a very good coach, but not a spectacular hire. Say Jim Mora, Jr. Season tickets sales improve, but not dramatically. Fans wiould wait to see real improvement on the field. If we're still on the old Adidas deal for a few more years, he's left looking for ways to boost revenue and/or cut expenses. That's generally the part of the AD's job that draws the ire of fans. Lastly, he was replacing a blunderous and reviled AD. There were obvious little things available to earn goodwill. Some were even directed by Schlissel. I don't want to take away any credit. I'm very happy Hackett is our AD. Still, I think the opinions of his performance would be a lot more tentative if not for some circumstances beyond his control.


Input: [Date] 13 hours 32 min ago [Title] Overall participation in HS athletics is at an all-time high. [Body]

Output: At least as of 2013, the latest year I found statistics for nationally. I'm not sure how that relates to anecdotal evidence that football is dropping because kids are specializing in a single sport. There are a lot of variables. Football requires more players than other sports. It's more subject to getting dropped at smaller schools, which could accelerate a decline. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/football-top-sport...


Input: [Date] 15 hours 24 min ago [Title] Participation in Ohio HS football dropped nearly 20% [Body]

Output: and private schools like Kalamazoo College.


Input: [Date] 1 day 6 hours ago [Title] They have been recruiting Bridges, despite his always being. [Body]

Output: considered a longshot. Remember that his spot was taken by Battle for awhile. If they felt better about their chances, probably they hold off on offering Watson. The problem is that their plan B guys aren't going to wait forever. They decided not to offer Cumberland and he comitted to Cinci. They just just went through the eval period and didn't offer Watson until it was over. He was planning to commit soon too. It is disappointing to miss out on him. We're picking up solid prospects, but not obvious game changers. That being said, you can never be certain how the roster will shake out. There's always the possibility of unexpected attrition. I don't think Michigan is completely done recruiting Bridges. He can still schedule an OV, even if there isn't room for him at the time.


Input: [Date] 1 day 7 hours ago [Title] Indiana was the favorite until the moment Michigan offered. [Body]

Output: Then it was all over. I know the feeling, but can't feel the least bit sorry for them.


Input: [Date] 1 day 7 hours ago [Title] No, Bridges does not have an offer. [Body]

Output: He canceled every planned trip here. Honestly, I don't think he's ever had any interest. He only talks about us because we're the other in-state school. It's great that he has nice things to say, but the coaches must surely have a good idea of his level of interest.


Input: [Date] 1 day 7 hours ago [Title] Bridges is/was a pipe dream. [Body]

Output: He mentions Michigan, but has never even set foot on campus. His family lives an hour away and he's made multiple trips to MSU. That's a strong indication that he has no interest in coming here.


Input: [Date] 1 day 7 hours ago [Title] That may be closer to the truth. As I recall, Webb didn't [Body]

Output: exactly endorse that report, but passed it along fwiw. In any case, Nauta has interest and is planning an OV.


Input: [Date] 1 day 9 hours ago [Title] How is any of that the least bit relevant? [Body]


Input: [Date] 1 day 9 hours ago [Title] Quite recently Sam Webb quoted one of Scout's southern [Body]

Input: [Date] 1 day 10 hours ago [Title] I don't like either, but the white is a lot better. [Body]

Output: The all maize doesn't make me think of Michigan. The helmet is kind of lost. At least it stands out with the white tops.


Input: [Date] 1 day 10 hours ago [Title] Why are you so sure about that? [Body]

Output: Harbaugh is well known for using players on both sides of the ball. Why not use it as a recruiting pitch, especially as you're doing it again? I recall several recruits mentioning that possibility.


Input: [Date] 1 day 14 hours ago [Title] It was even worse. Williams cut off the other driver. [Body]

Output: He pulled his gun because the guy honked at him.

Output: Otherwise, I agree.


Input: [Date] 1 day 15 hours ago [Title] You're mixing up Caleb and Xavier Kelly. [Body]

Output: Caleb visited campus in March. Nobody we're recruiting has yet taken an official visit with player hosts. IMO, it's a good thing Kelly knows that much about our team. It shows a level of interest beyond what one might expect from a CA kid.

Output: They got a good coach, too.


Input: [Date] 2 days 4 hours ago [Title] Well done, Seth. [Body]

Output: It's not so easy to have tongue in cheek proposals taken so seriously. I think you're on the right track, but I'd make several adjustments. Bring back the U of Chicago program and add them to the Big Ten. Remove the most junior member from your to remain at ten. Make all schools who have repeatedly been caught cheating ineligible for the playoffs. Use the current standard for major infractions.


Input: [Date] 2 days 4 hours ago [Title] Personally, I find it ridiculous to wreck the regular [Body]

Output: season just to make the playoffs neater. I don't think there is any way the playoffs ever become that exclusive. Who's going to decide that some schools get permanently left out? There are more than 64 power conference schools now, with more holding that ambition. This organization would end up fighting a lot of political battles, probably legal ones too. I'll stick my neck out and say it will never happen.


Input: [Date] 2 days 9 hours ago [Title] 14 teams are much better for scheduling than 16. [Body]

Output: Every team gets an even number of home/away games in their division. There are more common opponents. I'd say it was better in every conceivable way. The Big XII just needs to stabilize which probably involves adding teams. Other than that, I don't see how further expansion is inevitable. Every P5 conference has lucrative TV deals, including the Big XII. None stands to gain much by changing the status quo.


Input: [Date] 2 days 9 hours ago [Title] The reports at the time were that Oklahoma and OK St. [Body]

Output: asked to join the Big Ten together. I'm not sure why they've been left out of this story, but the Big Ten had no interest in that OSU. Just taking Oklahoma wasn't seen as an option.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] 3"x3" Neodymium magnet Amazon review/warning [Body]

Output: The reason that there are currently no reviews for this product is because the people who would be giving this review are all now missing their hands, due to various magnet related accidents. Ok, I'm being dramatic but still, this magnet can lift 890 lbs!!!!!! Need I say more? Ok,how's this? The field strength of even a small Neodymium magnet can make its presence known across a room: Now strike an estimate of what a supermagnet, that is larger than what a human hand can properly get a grip around, can do to a person, with an energy product of 42 Mega Gauss Oersteds and a lift rating of 890 lbs!!! NEVER EVER introduce this thing to another Rare Earth magnet! If this thing flies out of your hand and shatters, depending on the direction of the shear, this thing can blow apart like a fragmentation grenade. Believe me when I tell you that, in spite of all this, there's STILL a part of me that want's very badly to buy this thing. Maybe for the same reason we all want to own that cool Hellraiser Cube! "WHAT IS YOUR PLEASURE?!" Seriously I want to buy this magnet!!! It's just that I don't know how to safely approach the damned lovely thing!!! This is the LAMBORGHINI REVENTON OF MAGNETS!! It's every bit as extreme and twice as deadly. Something like this could smash a human hand like like it's made of shaving cream!! SO BE CAREFUL!!!! There should be a special safety manual just for this magnet alone! Seriously, if someone were actually stupid enough to put this magnet together with another 3x3 Neodymium magnet (provided that was even possible to do without these things shattering)it would cause all the other Neodymium magnets from the remotest regions of the world to collide into it and it would become a freakin' black hole singularity of Neodymium magnets WAY BEFORE 2012!!!! A roiling shrieking mass of compacted Neodymium shards and severed arms flailing where nothing but a voice could escape! A voice shrieking in unison "My God!!!! Why didn't somebody STOP me from PUTTING THOSE THINGS TOGETHER!!!"


Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] Coaching change [Body]

Output: If Hoke doesn't get rid of Borges this year, I would like to see him get one more year. If he does replace Borges, I would like to see him get two more years. I did want a change from Rodriguez after the defense's performance in their last bowl game, but at least his results were trending in a generally positive direction.

Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] Gardner will be fine [Body]

Output: He still lacks experience, but he has all the tools to be a great QB. Today's game should be a wake up call. He has a great attitude, and I think he'll learn from his mistakes and improve. I don't know why so many posters are so down on him, he's still only started how many games now? Garder and Borges shoulder most of the blame for the performance today, but most of the issues are very fixable.


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] No more taking snaps from under center please [Body]

Output: M doesn't have the players to run the offense from under center. It was already obvious before this game, but hopefully the results from today will seal the deal, and it will be all pistol and shotgun from here on out. If it doesn't work agains the Zips, it's just not going to happen. I know that Borges doesn't like for Gardner to run so much, but this offense needs him to be a ground threat to be successful.

Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Body] Well, for starters, I clearly state that I wasn't huge on the pick, so I have no idea where you are getting "happy" from. As to your point, I'm not suggesting we use that standard, just refuting the post's assertion that wealways do poorly in free agency. While Matt Millen was GM, he didn't do anything well, which includes both the draft and free agency. The original post suggested that because of said free agency problems (under Millen), we shouldn't/can't succeed doing that now (with Mayhew). I think that is completely incorrect. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Body] Yea, because our round 1 and 2 cornerbacks have really worked out, right? I sure loved Terry Fair getting burned every play. Or how about Bryant Westbrook leading the league in pass interference calls against? I'm not huge on the pick, but if we had him ranked as the best player, I'll give Mayhew credit for not reaching on a CB who he had lower on his list. [Title]

Output: Yea, because our round 1 and


Input: [Date] 4 years 13 weeks ago [Body] I think that making players stay in college for three years would improve the quality of play in both college and the NBA. As of right now, players with lots of potential are bolting early before they develop and before they are ready for the next level. And while it would possibly minimize mid-majors, I think it would make the power conferences deeper because Kentucky and Duke could no longer pick up 2-4 top 25 players, since they wouldn't be able to find playing time for everyone. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Body] This post was awesome. It's also comforting that people who know much more about football than me also feel encouraged by the progress being made on the defensive side of the ball. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Body] Manningham and Arrington still had eligibility left. McGuffie and Mallet transferred. The amount of attrition during the RR years was absolutely ridiculous. . And while people will argue over who was to blame for the mass exodus, Lloyd Carr cannot possibly be blamed for it, IME. [Title]

Output: Manningham and Arrington


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Body] That's great news. I actually have pretty high hopes for both Michigan and the Lions this year. [Title]

Output: Wow, you are a douchebag. I'm


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Body] Like I said, I agree Carr that Carr lost his edge by the end. But declining as an in-game coach and torpedoing the program are two VERY different things. You seem to be forgetting the venue in which we were playing USC that year. Oh yea, it was the Rose Bowl. A bowl game we frequented during Carr's tenure. By the way, you might also recall Mississippi State players talking about how they knew all of our plays in the Gator Bowl this year too. [Title]

Output: Like I said, I agree Carr


Input: [Date] 4 years 14 weeks ago [Body] Saying that Michigan was run into the ground by Lloyd Carr is even more ignorant than believing a "Michigan Man" is necessary to win at the University of Michigan. Sure, Lloyd had a bad final season (which also happened to be one win better than RR's best season) and had clearly lost his edge. However, the year before, we were literally a very questionable late-hit call away from playing for the National Championship. [Title]

Output: Saying that Michigan was run


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Body] First of all, the fact that you are actually comparing SDSU's performance against top 25 teams to Michigan's is just another indication of how far the Michigan program has fallen in the past 3 years. As for our offense, touting how many points we put up against one top team who was playing a borderline prevent defense when we scored said points doesn't exactly strengthen your argument. I'll admit, I wasn't thrilled about the Hoke hire. That being said, I feel better about the direction of the team and am looking forward to not being embarrassed against good Big Ten teams. By the way, you must be so proud of yourself by taking an (annoying) meme, and turning it into a noun. Congrats, you're awfully clever. [Title]

Output: First of all, the fact that


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Body] People continue to allude to this unstoppable offense of a year ago which simply did not exist against top 25 teams. [Title]

Output: This


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Body] The offense will be fine. We have too many playmakers not to be well above average by the time September roles around. And, did you notice the defense? For starters they actually made tackles AND were able to bring some pressure up front. Maybe we won't consistently be down three touchdowns at halftime against top 25 teams next year. I would be shocked if we didn't win at least 8 games (not including the bowl). [Title]

Output: The offense will be fine. We


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Body] Seeing as our defense routinely made opposing teams look like offensive juggernauts last year, using Michigan's performance last year in the Spring Game seems silly to me. I honestly think the RR loyalists and/or Hoke haters would have ripped this game regardless of the outcome. If our offense looked great they would contend we haven't done enough on defense. I don't think anyone could watch this and say with a straight face that our defense doesn't appear to be making significant improvement (as opposed to consistent regression the last three years). [Title]

Output: Seeing as our defense


Input: [Date] 4 years 15 weeks ago [Body] I don't actually have a specific memory that caused my fandom to click on, I can just always remember rooting hard for the Maize and Blue, and aspiring to go to school in Ann Arbor. My first MIchigan memory though is going to the Big House with my dad to watch the MSU game. We won 40-20 and Tyrone Wheatley will forever be my favorite MIchigan player. I only sent out one application for undergrad... glad I got accepted. [Title]

Output: I don't actually have a


Input: [Date] 4 years 16 weeks ago [Body] I love Tom Brady, but there is no way his number gets retired at MIchigan, nor should it quite frankly. He will just have to be content with being a first ballot NFL Hall of Famer and in the conversation for best NFL quarterback of all time. [Title]

Output: I love Tom Brady, but there


Input: [Date] 4 years 16 weeks ago [Body] I'm setting the over/under that Brian is able to go two consecutive weeks without bringing up Rich Rodriguez or "the process" at 1 year. I am taking the over. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 18 weeks ago [Body] I have to believe that what you wrote was a (very bad) satire. If not, then wow. Last I checked the program had already been ran into the ground by Hoke's predecessor. My guess is Hoke's record will look significantly better than 15-22 after three years, though, admittedly, his offense will most likely look much less flashy. Oh no!! [Title]

Output: I have to believe that what

Input: [Date] 4 years 18 weeks ago [Body] I believe a trip to the Sweet 16 for the first time since the 90s would have meant more to our basketball program (including a major benefit to recruiting) than one individual recruit would mean to our football program. [Title]

Output: Wow, what a ridiculous


Input: [Date] 4 years 19 weeks ago [Body] Wow, I am surprised at how unimpressive all of their numbers are (besides offensive rebounding), especially considering almost every national "expert" that I have seen has Tennesse winning. I like this matchup. So they have two stud players and not much else offensively? That sounds awfully similar to our team last year. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 21 weeks ago [Body] Right, but WERE they best available, we would pass on them for a position of need, which was my whole point. As for Julio Jones, there is absolutely no chance the Lions would take him in the first round. Mayhew's old boss liked to pick WRs in the first round and we saw how that worked out. We can address WR in free agency by picking up a moderately priced possession reciever. [Title]

Output: Right, but WERE they best
