Input: [Date] 4 years 27 weeks ago [Title] RE: Michigan Replay Music [Body]

Output: I remember seeing an old Michigan Replay from the early 80s on WOLV-tv that used the Across 110th Street intro, but then I believe they went away from it for a number of years before bringing it back sometime into the Carr years. This has to be a matter of public record. We really need the Athletic Department to start putting up old Michigan Replay's on mgoblue.com for our viewing pleasure.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Guinness only counts people [Body]

Output: Guinness only counts people who showed up as spectators (people who bought a ticket and were present in the stadium on the day of the game plus a few other non-ticketed personnel, such as the band). Michigan's attendance counts tickets sold (whether they showed up or not) plus the band, team, concessionnaires, ushers, media, etc. -- essentially everyone who would be present in the stadium. As far as the original number, that figure was what Guinness used to initially certify that the record had been broken and to have the presentation on the field during the game. They were still totalling up final ticket figures at that point, but they knew that a record had been broken, so they felt comfortable announcing it and having a press release that the media picked up on. (Granted, some in the media mis-interpreted the release to be the final attendance count, but it was still a works in progress) EDIT: Beaten by a few minutes...why do I write so much?


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] Even if Patterson was [Body]

Output: Even if Patterson was contacted, would he really have informed anyone, let alone some random radio station? He's trying to keep his own recruiting class in place, not lose goodwill with TCU, etc. so unless an offer is in hand, no potential candidate is going to say to the media "hey, Michigan called."


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] H.S. vs. College [Body]

Output: The high school posts are wider than the college and pro versions, so they are wider compared to what we're used to on Saturdays. High School - 23 feet, 4 inches College - 18 feet, 6 inches I've also been curious how much extra distance one gets by using a tee on FG's like in the video. So, if he can kick a 60 yarder with a tee, does that equate to a 45 or 50 yarder minus the tee? Anyone with a kicking background know a rough estimate?

Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Sorry you didn't get the jist [Body]

Output: Sorry you didn't get the jist of my comment. All I was saying is that from a financial gift standpoint, there's only so much that the university would allow you to earmark your gift for. In this case, Braylon was (correctly or incorrectly) allowed to earmark his funds to the most finite detail, which is what has created this debate. My point was that the university would gladly allow me to make a significant contribution, but there comes a point where goodwill and generosity turns into over-involvement and meddling with the way the organization is run (be it athletics/football or whatever). I think Braylon getting over-involved with the way the coach runs his football team crosses the line by using his number scholarship leverage.


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Title] Scholarship endowments [Body]

Output: For the record, the endowment for a scholarship is not $500k/year. It's a one time $500k donation that because of the University investing the money and interest on that investment allows the scholarship to continue forever. The problem really lies with the Michigan Athletic Department allowing Braylon to stipulate to such a specific degree who would get his scholarship and essentially giving too much of a voice in the activities of a coach running a football program. Instead, the AD should have allowed the scholarship go to a Wide Receiver (and it could have even gone to a WR of the choosing of his Foundation), but letting him tie it to a specific number goes too far. I'm sure the university wouldn't let me endow a scholarship for the person who resides in my old dorm room and then get upset when the housing office selects someone who I don't deem "worthy" of the honor of residing in the hallowed halls of 5th Hamilton.


Input: [Date] 4 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Purdue tix [Body]

Output: The last time I went (around 2004), the Michigan section was behind the endzone in the open part of the horseshoe. Purdue was pretty decent and came in with only 1 loss and I already had tickets, but I approached a scalper by the basketball arena just to see what the market was like and he had a whole fistful of tickets and from "negotiating" with him, it was definitely a buyer's market. Fast-forward to today: both teams aren't as good as they were back then, so, I doubt the game sells out (especially with an early kick time). Worst case you should be able to buy them for face at the box office if you can't negotiate your way in for less.


Input: [Date] 4 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Expansion [Body]

Output: Since it sounds like you have the data, I'm curious...what are the numbers since State joined the Big Ten in the '50s? No doubt that across the board, Michigan Athletics have been more dominant historically than MSU, but it'd be interesting to see a more apples to apples comparison.


Input: [Date] 4 years 45 weeks ago [Title] Licensed retailer [Body]

Output: It's interesting because a number of these shirts have been up for quite some time...and it's not like they're much different than the guys with the stands on the street who have ripped off a number of the designs for their own profit. I wonder if this has more to do with who is selling them and their relationship to the University as opposed to what is being sold. To my knowledge, before buying Moe's, Underground Printing would produce t-shirts angled toward Michigan (like the MGoShirts), but never use any University trademarks. Now that they run Moe's and sell licensed material, the University has more control to threaten UGP with revoking their agreement to sell licensed product like jerseys, hats, etc. Perhaps a lawyer can speak to this more, but unless they go on a major cease and desist binge and shut down the shady push carts, then I think it's a targeted threat at a licensed retailer.


Input: [Date] 5 years 5 weeks ago [Title] n/a [Body]

Output: It's a video like this that truly captures the greatness of sport, and the reason why so many of us keep coming back. Yes, sports may occasionally cause us agony and heartbreak, but that moment of euphoria shared with our friends and family, or complete strangers from far and wide is a thing of beauty and will never get old.


Input: [Date] 5 years 12 weeks ago [Title] Stadium configurations [Body]

Output: FA, you are my hero for bringing up the Polo Grounds. I wish that park was still around because there definitely needs to be a stadium with a small cutout that makes it 485' to center. As for the L.A. Coliseum, they did host a Dodgers exhibition game a few years ago (attended by 115,300 people) in commemoration of the team's 50th Anniversary of their move to the west coast. (Note the giant net in left field to eliminate on the 200+ foot home run).


Input: [Date] 5 years 15 weeks ago [Title] n/a [Body]

Output: Mike Stevenson is the consummate professional. When I heard that they were replacing the Oosterbaan astroturf back in '01, I went to him with the outlandish idea that I wanted to see if they could cut me off a piece to use as "carpet" for my dorm room. He was more than accommodating, asking for the desired dimensions we needed and even giving us the '4' from the 40 yard line as part of our piece. Hopefully he has a happy phased-in retirement...and if he needs some turf for a dorm-sized room in his house, he knows who to call.

Her Facebook post may have been the final straw, but no court would have given her damages or found a wrongful termination in that situation.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Eating Crow? [Body]

Output: All right. Who actually finished the article? Because Kawakami is still making lame excuses: "Second reaction: This is everything… EVERYTHING… the 49ers could’ve wanted from this situation, and it does surprise me that Harbaugh would hand it over to them just like that. Jed York and Trent Baalke wanted no part of Harbaugh after Sunday, and undercut him all season, but now, because he’s leaving on his own to go to college… instead of firing him the 49ers… Don’t have to pay Harbaugh the $5M he has left on his contract or even worry about trying to trade him; Won’t see him in the NFL–and especially the Raiders–for at least a few years; Can even spin it that they wanted to keep him but he left them for a monster deal from his alma mater." Yeah, who wouldn't believe that?

Output: I don't believe thats how it works. If the kid gets a scholarship, it'll have to count against the football team. This rule prevents teams from giving a bunch of guys "track" scholarships to free up more football scholarships. If the kid wants to play football at Michigan, Les will be paying his way.

I had plenty of friends who went and plenty who didn't, and to be honest, the ones that did really don't think too much of it now (5 years later). I think it may be that proms are just not as big of a deal as they were for the older generations. On the other hand, if you think you can get laid then go for it!

Input: [Date] 4 years 26 weeks ago [Body] I agree with your post. The main reason RR failed is due to lack of support from Bill Martin and Dave Brandon. It was a twofold lack of support in both Martin and Brandon. First, they would not pay for a defensive coordinator. Greg Robinson was paid $270,000. I don't believe Casteel was going to come to Michigan while taking a $70,000 pay cut. He was making $340,000+ at WVU. The SEC pays $500,000 to $700,000 for DC and Texas paid $900,000 last year. If you want to play with the big boys you have to pay like the big boys. No leadership from Martin or Martin. Secondly, never, did either Brandon or Martin voice public support for RR or ask for alumni and former players to back the then current coach as is being done now for Hoke, who I like a lot. Failed, ineffective, cheap, shortedsighted, weak and stupid leadership from both AD's. There is no way RR was going to succeed in making the massive changes he was trying to make. Now we go back to smashmouth, Big Ten style football, which will get us competitive in B10 but not a national championship. B10 is a doormat. 9000 student TCU beats Wisconsin, and B10 goes 0-5 New Years day. RR would have changed that with some standup, visionary leadership from our AD's [Title]

Output: RR support


Input: [Date] 4 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Belein went to RR practices whenever he could, took a real interest. In my two times meerting and talking with RR he was most cordial and patient, pleasant to be with. Mike Kenn who played under Bo for 3 years and then 17 years with the Atlanta Falcons, said that in all of his 20 years of playing high level football, he had never seen better run practices than RR ran. Rita who maybe didn't have the appearance everyone wanted was in my contact with her very serious and community minded. It was in part her idea to turn the spring game into a charity event, and a substantial amount of money was raised for Mott Hospital as a result. I believe a major in the RR downfall was the lack of leadership and public support for RR from the highest levels, including Bill Martin, Dave Brandon, Mary Sue Coleman, along with Lloyd Carr and others. Strong public support form the top along with Lloyd, in which they could have demanded that while RR is coach that we all get behind him and let this play out may have led to different outcome. I am embarrssed by that lack of leadership and by our impatient, whiny fan base. We obviously are not the leaders and best in all regards. We can't face a little adversity and have a stiff upper lip when we need it. RR was the best option to make us competitive with the SEC. The best of the Big Ten failed New Years day. Is that what we want emulate. As much as I can't stand Drew Sharp he had the right question at the press conference. National championships is what I wanted, and I believe That is now unlikely as we fade back to the traditional Big Ten style of play. We will continue to slide down as a conference until someone comes in somewhere and changes direction as RR was doing. I like Brady Hoke as a person, leader, teacher, someone who deeply cares about Michigan and the student athletes and I will support him. However, I believe his approach will at best make us competitive in the Big Ten eventually and not a national champion. [Title]

Output: RR support

Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] Bo and Canham would have said 2 more years then assess. That is the logical obvious choice with a 5 year recruiting cycle etc. The impatient short-sighted whiner alumni and big donors are an embarassment to what UM used to stand for. Excellence embodies common sense, logic, and fairness. This very premature axing of RR flies in the face of "Leaders and Best" and in the process it moves us toward losers and worst. After 55 years around the program as former scholarship athlete and alum it is deeply disappointing and frustrating. We were headed for much better things. Now we move to become the corporate UM and quickly building our "brand" and marketing our image etc, etc. What a cruel joke. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Body] This is complete bunk. The athletic department just announced evaluation of the football program like all other sports will start after the end of the season including the post season. So RR will be here for at least a month. Actually, it appears he will be here for 24 months barring outright collapse next year. DB will follow his beloved mentor, Bo, using Bo's dictum of a full 5 yr requirement to eveluate any coach in a new program. More to the point, DB told the Cleveland alumni this week that he is really excited to think of Denard as a senior at the "Jerry" bowl with Alabama in 2012. A potential Denard transfer is something he will avoid, hence no Harbaugh or anyone else if he can possibly help it. He talked about bringing the wow factor to Michigan. As far as the defense, he also talked about our 18 year-olds fresh from the prom playing against 22-23 year-olds with 19 seniors. He watches film every Sunday after games with RR and says there is no way for a quick fix of the defense, but that it will improve. He spoke with Lynn Henning about the risks inherent in change and has said he does not want Michigan to start to be seen as a school that changes coaches every 3 years. Finally he appears to prefer the spread offense as part of the wow factor along with night games etc. Hence no Harbaugh, ever, since JH neither favors the spread nor can he defend against it as seen in his 52-31 loss to Oregon in which 625 yards were put up against him. Further, he threw the UM program under the bus in 2007, with comments on academics in the department, and has an arrogance that does not represent UM well. Finally he started with 2 losing seasons at Stanford before goint to a bowl in his 3rd season and going 8-5. Do we want to do thjat again? I look forward to a very exciting future with DB and RR at the helm [Title]

He's visited Ole' Miss already & by all accounts hasn't said anything to the effect that they are his leader. MSU has never been talked about as a threat. He has yet to visit OU & OkSU. Where do you think he ends up? Could it be that he doesn't want to pull a Conley/Dawson and wants to take his time with his decision? I'd rather he do that then half-heartedly commit and subsquently break his commitment.

Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] It's not the fact that they play the 2-3 zone that makes them tricky, it's the length of the players in the 2-3 zone. You can simulate that zone all you want in practice, but what makes them so tough is their length affecting passing lanes and causing deflections. Brandon Triche will be the shortest guy on the court for them at 6'4 and their PG stands at 6'6 in Michael Carter Williams. If I could pick one person in the country playing the college game to give Stauskas a run at a 3 point contest it would be James Southerland. If he is on, look out. C.J. Fair is a crafty player who can find a number of ways to score the ball. Keita (6'10) and Christmas (6'9) are their big guys who, once again, affect shots with their length, but both are very raw with their offensive games. It's just gonna come down to what everyone has said as soon as it was known we were advancing to face Syracuse yesterday, we have to make shots and also keep them off the offensive boards so they can't get second chance opportunites. I live on the East Coast, so I have had many opportunites to watch Syracuse play throughout the season, so this is just my non-expert opinion. [Title]

This is who they played: @UNLV, New Hampshire, Western Michigan, Syracuse, @ Iowa, Northwestern, @ Wisconsin, Purdue, and then us. The best passing offense out of all those is Syracuse. Only two teams out of nine on their schedule so far are in the top 68 in pass offense. Do you wanna know where Minnesota ranks nationally in rush defense? 81st. There's a reason why teams aren't passing on them, and that's because teams are running it on them. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Body] i think it would have to be something along the lines of leaving your feet to launch at the other player would be a good determining factor. that plus leading with your head and aiming directly at the opposing player's face. if they went back to actually tackling instead of trying to make EPSN's highlight reel with a big hit, there would be a lot less ambiguity about the call. it would be harder to call it a hit on a defenseless player if you're wrapping your arms around for a tackle rather than just trying to blow the guy up. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 21 weeks ago [Body] and i think a lot of this comes from something that drives me crazy as a football fan. basically once a player with the ball gets beyond the linebackers, tackling is no longer involved. how many times do you see DBs shoulder block a guy catching a ball near him, 90+%? if the guys actually wrapped their arms around and tackled i think just that in itself could take away some of the helmet to face you see so much of [Title]

NHL is always a solid choice as far as sports go as well. like someone said above, Red Dead Redemption can be found in game of the year edition for around $20 and you can waste away so many hours of your life on. this, just like the show, is more so a single player game IMO but NHL is a blast online but has some good offline features as well.

BUT, now that it's this week and if ND loses it will in all likelihood be an all SEC NC game again, i'm more so pulling against that than a ND win. i dislike brian kelly and basically the whole ND team but as a college football fan i have gained a lot of respect for Manti Te'o as a football player and as a human this season, so in a way i rationalize it that way i guess.

Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Body] i'm not so certain i would "vote" for the voiding of a LOI in the event of a coaching change. you hear all the time that players should commit to the school and not the coach, even though you can't blame an 18 yr old kid for getting attached to people that schmooze him and tell him everything he wants to hear for commiting to the coach rather than the school. i think if nothing else any school that's being investigated by the NCAA and there is even a slight possibility there may be a head coaching change coming because of said investigations, it might keep some players available to other schools by knowing that if they sign the LOI and the coach that offered and promised them more than other schools gets canned they're stuck there and won't be so fast to pull the trigger [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 30 weeks ago [Body] I think one other thing that makes a difference is how ESPN likes to tell everyone over and over that the SEC is the best and toughest conference. If you're an 18 yr old kid and you know that you're going to be seen by more people around the country by playing in the SEC because ESPN is going to show the majority of their games and you'll get even more face time on Sportscenter then why wouldn't you want to go there if exposure is one of the big things you're looking for. This I think helps funnel the players to the SEC more so than the other conferences as a whole, perception becomes reality. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 4 weeks ago [Body] i have played the show since 09 and like you purchased a PS3 specifically for the show. i never really got into the pitching much on the previous versions because i could never truely control where the pitches went, they would be close but consistancy is what frustrated me. the meter pitching is wonderful this year, you have much more control over up, down, left and right with the ball. as others have said, the point system is so much better also. you don't usually rack up 150 points in one game, mostly when hitting, like you could easily do in previous versions but you don't get a fail on certain challenges because of the dumbass computer baserunners, you still get points for good contact, timing and/or working the pitch count. as much as it's still the same game, the minor tweaks were a great improvment. and yes the commentating is terrible as a lot of people say but the have some funny lines every now and then. [Title]

Output: go buy it


Input: [Date] 4 years 11 weeks ago [Body] i always thought that with all the prep work tate did to become a top qb he may have been pretty close to his ceiling as a freshman while denard was so raw his ceiling was so far away. tate was as good as you could have expected as a true freshman but maybe there just wasn't that much room for improvement as far as his capabilities. i still wish the kid well though.

Input: [Date] 41 weeks 4 days ago [Body] It seems that Hoke wanted them to throw instead of punt. I think I agree. Bad things can happen on a punt return. You could try to be aggressive and go for the block, but you could end up roughing the punter which would give them a 1st down with time still remaining on the clock. You could try to set up a return, but a muffed punt ends in almost guaranteed points for Penn State. Alternatively, you force them into trying a Hail Mary. The bad thing you're worried about here is a TD. Anything underneath is pointless because there is no time left. From the spot on the field they were, and their offenses proven inability to protect the quarterback, there was very little chance of that being executed properly by PSU. However, it is one more chance for your DL. This might be a case of Hoke's DL mindset taking over. He's basically avoiding the most risk averse decision (letting the clock run out) to give his DL one more chance to make a play. [Title]

Output: It seems that Hoke wanted

Input: [Date] 42 weeks 8 hours ago [Body] May I also add, why do non-revenue athletes deserve such lavish facilities and special treatment (on top of free tuition) that the other 98% of students at the University don't receive? Plenty of students participate in extra-curricular activities that don't produce revenue for the school. [Title]

Output: May I also add, why do


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 8 hours ago [Body] You do realize that non-revenue athletes receive this level of support due to the price gouging tactics of Dave Brandon? When the future donors dry up due to his mismanagement of the customer relationship with students, alumni, and fans, watch the world class support of non-revenue sports dry up. They won't be able to afford it. [Title]

Output: You do realize that


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Body] I'm sorry, but you are either extremely naive or insane if you think you can find 5 tickets for less than $200 to the biggest game of the year. The issue with Crisler is that there is an extremely limited number of seats (around 13k) relative to the demand to attend this game. That means scalped tickets, whether StubHub or outside Crisler will stay inflated. Besides, the empty seats you saw during the UM v. Purdue game (the home one that took place several weeks ago) were likely in the student overflow sections. Meaning those tickets were sold and the ticket holders did not show up. It's not like there are blocks of unsold tickets out there, especially this year. If you really want to go, pony up the cash on StubHub. If you want to be cheap, no shame in staying home and watching on CBS. Besides, it probably wouldn't be wise to bring small children to a game that will have such a rowdy and intense atmosphere. Break them in with a Northwestern or non-conference game. [Title]

Output: You Are Insane


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Body] I have no insight on where Weishar is leaning, or if Michigan would need him in the 2014 class. However, I went to school with Weishar's cousin (a Michigan graduate). I know that he has been in this kid's ear for years about Michigan and they visited Ann Arbor together this past fall. Take that for what it's worth, but I wouldn't think that he is an ND lean as suggested above. [Title]

Seriously, don't you have a friend you could call. You sound like a 15 year old going on his first ever date. (FYI, I don't have a problem with the thread. I just think your "Cool Stroy Bro" comments about meeting girls at the movie reflect poorly on you. Please make some real friends.) [Title]

Output: Data Issue?


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] Yes, Champions for Charity makes a very small profit. However, you do not have visibility as to what makes up the operating costs that take up at a minimum $25 of a $32-36 entry fee. Salaries for CFC employees are likely built into that cost considering their business model Perhaps our AD believes that he can use existing resources (people already on salary, stadium resources, etc.) so that the margin funneled to charities will be much larger. [Title]

Output: I understand the math


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] It sounded like Brandon's decision to cancel the race had more to do with Champions for Charity's "for-profit" status than anything else. However, I would not be surprised if his comments today about hosting their own race were damage control due to backlash yesterday. I had read on a separate annarbor.com article that CFC takes approximately $25-30 of the $36 entry fee for costs and profits, while the remainder is funneled to the charities. I'm sure Brandon, as egotistical as he is, believe Michigan could manage the race and donate a higher percentage to charities. Anyways, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. For what it's worth, the CFC representative claimed that they offered to let the Michigan AD manage the race. [Title]

Output: Read Brandon's Comments


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] Associate athletic director Dave Ablauf, who handles media and communication for the department, said the run no longer fit into the department's charitable mission. "Really the decision in the end came down to our external focus," said Ablauf. The department announced last monththat it would begin partnering with the Special Olympics of Michigan for community service efforts. The first event of that partnership is the "Polar Plunge" at Michigan Stadium on February 23, 2013. That partnership, Ablauf said, has become the department's priority. Ablauf said the run had become "a very challenging event... to fit into our stadium." "We have our own private rental program, we're doing stuff with the special olympics and we have a lot of things we do now in the that stadium," Ablauf offered. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Body] Not sure what time the game is this year. If there is time, I would suggest making the few hour drive to Bloomington that night. Much better nightlife/ town at IU in Bloomington than West Lafayette. Nick's bar in Bloomington is fantastic. The W Lafayette bars (only maybe 4 of them) are geared towards college kids. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 25 weeks ago [Body] Are recruits scared off by the guys we already have or is this just a matter of getting in too late? This one puzzles me because the kid is from Ohio, friends with Kalis, and would have a much friendlier depth chart at Mich. Also, the fact that he previously committed to BC means it likely isn't a weather thing. Oh well, on to the next one. [Title]

Output: Confused


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Perhaps you shouldn't bug these recruits every other day looking for a quote. As nice at is to have new content, it honestly doesn't clue us in on new information. Frankly, if this turns off Armani to Michigan...well, I think we have our scapegoat. [Title]

Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] It's funny because I'd be [Body]

Output: It's funny because I'd be willing to bet (if you even follow basketball which is questionable) that you were one of the people last year saying "man wait until darius morris gets older he will be so good." Also, you should inform Brian of your logic considering that he has been saying all basketball season that he doesn't expect much from the team because they have only 1 junior and 0 seniors starting.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] yep playing cornerback is [Body]

Output: yep playing cornerback is more complex than playing point guard you're right.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] And on second thought, are [Body]

Output: And on second thought, are you really trying to argue that playing corner back isn't as confusing as playing point guard? Point guard is an unbelievably complex position, more complex than corner back for sure. Not that this is even relevant because of my previous response, but for the love of God stop making up pure nonsense to defend your argument. I don't really care if you feel the need to argue this basketball/football claim; if you want to dispute something go ahead and dispute what I said about Brady Hoke being able to field a competitive team at SDSU in year 2


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] What the hell does [Body]

Output: What the hell does physicality have to do with age when you're talking about the difference between 19 and 20? If anything the age argument can be used to say that the younger players don't have as much experience and therefore decision making ability. And what do you say to the fact that Brady Hoke competed with both #2 or 3 TCU and Missouri in his 2nd year at San Diego freaking State? He had essentially 0 talent in his first year taking over the 2-10 SDSU team, and any talent he brought in was no older than a true sophomore, and most were true freshmen.... Yet he was able to be competitive with strong teams. Quit using this backdoor garbage, made up logic to defend Rich Rod when anyone with a brain (i.e. a majority of college football followers) can admit that he didn't get it done here.


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Title] yeah that young michigan [Body]

Output: yeah that young michigan basketball team sure looked horrendous vs kansas on sunday.... oh wait, they competed?! Based on Rich Rod apologists I thought it was impossible for a team with sophomores and freshmen to compete with a ranked (let alone #3) team.

Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] I see where you're going with [Body]

Output: I see where you're going with this metaphor... If Rich Rod is the new husband and the upset fans are 'insufferable brats', does that make the 6 blowouts this year the equivalent of the new husband humiliating the stepchildren in public 6 times?


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] If the only way you are able [Body]

Output: If the only way you are able to gauge the progress of a team is simply by the number of wins then you must not watch a lot of football...


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Dude... [Body]

Output: There comes a time in life when you need to just admit you are wrong. If Beamer had never beaten a ranked team at Va Tech, wasn't in a BCS bowl, had been beaten this bad 6 times in the same season, and had a losing record at Va Tech, then you may have a semblance of a point with your sarcasm... But none of that is true and you are making a fool of yourself. Cut your losses just like Michigan will do with RR this week.

Output: Good one. I'll expect you to be calling into MSNBC and Fox News the week before the upcoming presidential election and going off on them for speculating and discussing a week before the decision is made. Don't lose any sleep when Rodriguez gets fired next week.


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] If you can watch this team [Body]

Output: If you can watch this team and truly believe they are 1 year away from a big ten championship game, you need to take the iv of blue kool-aid out of your arm... Ridiculous assertion


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] What the hell else are you [Body]

Output: What the hell else are you going to "clutter the board" with? "OT- What kind of beer are you drinking tonight? LOL" And how is there no point in speculating when the decision is in a week... Do you get upset when people speculate about the presidential election one week before the actual election? My God is that an awful argument. When the decision is near is when you're supposed to speculate the most. Bottom line, you're a joke dude. Quit trying to regulate mgoblog as if it belongs to you or something


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] The offense is so "great"... [Body]

Output: The offense is so "great"... Defense comes out and gets a big stop, big punt return, offense goes 3 and out. Give me a break.


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] So what? It's a freaking [Body]

Output: So what? It's a freaking message board what do you think is going to be posted? If you don't want to talk about it then don't comment, but so long as people are debating it (which is fine) the talk will continue on the boards.


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] That's a ridiculous request! [Body]

Output: That's a ridiculous request! Why would you think it's acceptable to discuss a potential coaching change for the Michigan Wolverines football team after their bowl game? Do you think thats what message boards are for? There should be no posts on this Michigan Blog regarding the overwhelming possibility of a coaching change. We will ignore it.


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Their jobs are not on the [Body]

Output: Their jobs are not on the line; the decision has already been made. DB already has a coach lined up or he has decided to keep RR. You don't start a coaching search in January, so if he was going to be fired it wouldn't have anything to do with the Miss St. game.


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Like Brian said, you don't [Body]

Output: Like Brian said, you don't start a coaching search on January 2nd. If Rich Rod is going to be fired the decision has already been made. If Rich Rod is going to stay it is because DB already decided on it based on what he has done thus far; it won't be because the team performs better than Miss St in the Gator Bowl.


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Dude step away from the [Body]

Output: Dude step away from the kool-aid... wow. Your last statement is the most annoying argument of all. Just because Rich Rod turned Michigan into a rebuilding project because he is so in love with his "scheme", doesn't mean Harbaugh would do the same. Harbaugh is a good football coach, not a scheme coach. He would take the talent he has and make the most of it, and I'd be willing to bet that our turnover margin would improve drastically under Harbaugh after the past 3 years of turnover-mania. RR couldn't find a way to make Mallet, Minor, and others fit into his offense, but I guarantee you Harbaugh would/will fit Denard into his.


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] 8-5 is pretty damn good at [Body]

Output: 8-5 is pretty damn good at Stanford given their stringent academic standards and lack of resources/fan interest. At Michigan, 8-5 in your third year is not nearly as impressive. Also, Harbaugh only lost 1 game by double digits (10 pt loss) that year. 10 points was Rich Rod's closest loss. Harbaugh's 5 losses were by a combined 32 points, Rich Rod's are by a combined 87 points, and it would be worse if opponents chose to run up the score. Harbaugh also beat a very strong Oregon team that year and a 9-4 USC team. He also beat a very good USC team in his 1st year. Harbaugh beat more quality teams in his 1st year than Rich Rod has in 3 years, had far less embarrassing losses each year, and had an equal record in his 3rd year, all while at a program where it is MUCH more difficult to build a good team. Can people like you please, for the love of God, stop pretending what Harbaugh did at Stanford is the equivalent of what Rich Rod has done at Michigan... It's ridiculous


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] 1) 8-5 in your third year [Body]

Output: 1) 8-5 in your third year isn't exactly awe-inspiring. Not terrible, but not good either. 2) 3 losses to 11-1 teams: He had three 11-1 teams on his schedule, and got absolutely crushed by all of them, how is that supposed to be a selling point for him to stay? Not to mention MSU is the most fraudulent 11-1 team in a long long time. There are a large number of teams with lesser records, including 9-3 Alabama, who are much better than 11-1 MSU. 3) The "top 10 offense" has already been covered. Wisconsin, Ohio State, MSU, Penn St, and Iowa all shut down the offense until the game was essentially over. The offense hung a ton of points on awful teams, and got shut down by the above average ones. Was the offense good? Yes. Top 10 in the country? No. 4) How does Denard even factor into this? Sure he is a great player; is bringing in a great player to a program that is easy to recruit at supposed to be something spectacular? And overall on the recruiting front Rich Rod has actually been quite sub-par. Rethink whether or not you had to throw that out there.


Input: [Date] 4 years 30 weeks ago [Title] well this was a good [Body]

Output: well this was a good benchmark game and we got absolutely embarrassed, so i don't know what you expect people's reaction to be... and anyone who thought we were going to be an ncaa tournament team because of the 1st 12 games is an absolute moron.


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Is beating ND (19-17 record [Body]

Output: Is beating ND (19-17 record in the past 3 years) 2 out of 3 times supposed to come anywhere near making up for going 0-6 vs OSU and MSU? Especially considering we lost those 6 games by a total of 110 points... I don't care about him beating notre dame when we have been losing to msu and osu every game by an average of 3 touchdowns for the past 3 years. Since you don't seem to get it... that (among other things) is why I want him fired.

Output: You didn't actually counter one thing he said in his argument. "mgobubble" was a great way of describing your (and many others on this blog's) disillusionment, hilarious. If you think that there is so much talk about his job security because "he's not a michigan man rabble rabble", and not because he is 0-13 against B10 teams with a winning record, or got blown out by double digits in 5 games in his third year, then you should honestly stop following football. The hell with whether he "gets our rivalries" or not, just stop getting blown out in them. All you did in your post was 1) make up your own reasons for why people want RR to be fired (reasons that aren't even the true issues that people are complaining about) and then 2) disprove your own made up reasoning and fail to address anything the fire-RR advocator said. I assure you it is not because he isn't a michigan man, or how he feels about the rivalries, it is because he has turned the program into a national laughing stock for the past 3 years. You just don't realize it because the only football talk you are ever exposed to is the mgobubble. EDIT: Dahblue mentioned wins and losses as an issue, then addressed recruiting also, and you tried to call him out for it. Do you realize that RR has been awful in both? Just because dahblue is addressing multiple issues that RR has, doesn't mean that he is contradicting himself. Your argument comprehension skills are incredibly awful... yikes.


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] stupid arguments like saying [Body]

Output: stupid arguments like saying that because denard improved that the program/team improved....


Input: [Date] 4 years 31 weeks ago [Title] Wow... It's about TEAM [Body]

Output: Wow... It's about TEAM progress. This year's team went 7-5 while last years went 5-7... the difference? Purdue was fielding almost all 2nd and 3rd stringers, which gave us one extra win. Illinois didn't have Juice WIlliams, who showed last year vs us that he clearly would have been the difference in a 3OT game. In other games, we got beaten far worse by Mich St, far worse by Iowa, far worse by OSU, and we got beat about equally bad by a PSU team that was nowhere near the level of last yr's PSU team. For the love of God can we stop acting like this team performed oodles better than the 2009 team because they won 2 more games? Look at the actual body of work and how the games actually transpired. And stop pretending it is irrational to think that RR should be fired. Every single person who follows college football closely (aside from maybe some of the ppl on this blog) would laugh in your face if they heard you talk as if firing Rich Rod isn't a decent option. It makes you sound like an idiot.


Input: [Date] 38 weeks 6 days ago [Title] This is a great story, and [Body]

Output: This is a great story, and kudos to Hoke and Denard. But to your point, if the wins/losses trend (statistic) persists, the future BJ Youngs will be wearing green and white asking for Leveon Bell autographs.


Input: [Date] 39 weeks 1 day ago [Title] This is false, my uniqname [Body]

Output: This is false, my uniqname was 8 characters during my time from 2005-2010. I vaguely remember a limit, but it was certainly more than 7 characters.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 8 hours ago [Title] May I also add, why do [Body]

Output: May I also add, why do non-revenue athletes deserve such lavish facilities and special treatment (on top of free tuition) that the other 98% of students at the University don't receive? Plenty of students participate in extra-curricular activities that don't produce revenue for the school.


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 8 hours ago [Title] You do realize that [Body]

Output: You do realize that non-revenue athletes receive this level of support due to the price gouging tactics of Dave Brandon? When the future donors dry up due to his mismanagement of the customer relationship with students, alumni, and fans, watch the world class support of non-revenue sports dry up. They won't be able to afford it.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] You Are Insane [Body]

Output: I'm sorry, but you are either extremely naive or insane if you think you can find 5 tickets for less than $200 to the biggest game of the year. The issue with Crisler is that there is an extremely limited number of seats (around 13k) relative to the demand to attend this game. That means scalped tickets, whether StubHub or outside Crisler will stay inflated. Besides, the empty seats you saw during the UM v. Purdue game (the home one that took place several weeks ago) were likely in the student overflow sections. Meaning those tickets were sold and the ticket holders did not show up. It's not like there are blocks of unsold tickets out there, especially this year. If you really want to go, pony up the cash on StubHub. If you want to be cheap, no shame in staying home and watching on CBS. Besides, it probably wouldn't be wise to bring small children to a game that will have such a rowdy and intense atmosphere. Break them in with a Northwestern or non-conference game.


Input: [Date] 2 years 26 weeks ago [Title] Weishar [Body]

Output: I have no insight on where Weishar is leaning, or if Michigan would need him in the 2014 class. However, I went to school with Weishar's cousin (a Michigan graduate). I know that he has been in this kid's ear for years about Michigan and they visited Ann Arbor together this past fall. Take that for what it's worth, but I wouldn't think that he is an ND lean as suggested above.


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] Beyond Pathetic [Body]

Output: You know your social life is pathetic when you go on MGoBlog to brag about getting a girls number after seeing Les Mis (with your dad). Seriously, don't you have a friend you could call. You sound like a 15 year old going on his first ever date. (FYI, I don't have a problem with the thread. I just think your "Cool Stroy Bro" comments about meeting girls at the movie reflect poorly on you. Please make some real friends.)


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] Probably Not [Body]

Output: More likely comes from having an unreliable walk-on kicker who burned them early in the season.


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] Also [Body]

Output: WMU had 4 wins on the season, not 3. Perhaps just the UMass - WMU result was wrong or maybe there are other games with the wrong result.


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Title] Data Issue? [Body]

Output: Not sure where you're getting your data, but Western Michigan defeated UMass (in a blowout actually, 52-14). Might want to double check some of the results in your data set in order to get a more accurate metric.


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Title] I understand the math [Body]

Output: Yes, Champions for Charity makes a very small profit. However, you do not have visibility as to what makes up the operating costs that take up at a minimum $25 of a $32-36 entry fee. Salaries for CFC employees are likely built into that cost considering their business model Perhaps our AD believes that he can use existing resources (people already on salary, stadium resources, etc.) so that the margin funneled to charities will be much larger.


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Title] Read Brandon's Comments [Body]

Output: It sounded like Brandon's decision to cancel the race had more to do with Champions for Charity's "for-profit" status than anything else. However, I would not be surprised if his comments today about hosting their own race were damage control due to backlash yesterday. I had read on a separate annarbor.com article that CFC takes approximately $25-30 of the $36 entry fee for costs and profits, while the remainder is funneled to the charities. I'm sure Brandon, as egotistical as he is, believe Michigan could manage the race and donate a higher percentage to charities. Anyways, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. For what it's worth, the CFC representative claimed that they offered to let the Michigan AD manage the race.


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Title] Associate athletic [Body]

Output: Associate athletic director Dave Ablauf, who handles media and communication for the department, said the run no longer fit into the department's charitable mission. "Really the decision in the end came down to our external focus," said Ablauf. The department announced last monththat it would begin partnering with the Special Olympics of Michigan for community service efforts. The first event of that partnership is the "Polar Plunge" at Michigan Stadium on February 23, 2013. That partnership, Ablauf said, has become the department's priority. Ablauf said the run had become "a very challenging event... to fit into our stadium." "We have our own private rental program, we're doing stuff with the special olympics and we have a lot of things we do now in the that stadium," Ablauf offered.

Output: The rest of us will discuss because it is interesting


Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Title] Wrong [Body]

Output: They're protecting Denard from being targeted in the future. Do you really want other defenses to know the exact injury Denard has?

Output: Cool Story Bro...


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Don't understand your [Body]

Output: Don't understand your criticism of fans not sticking out these games. Weather was miserable and wet. It was tough even with rain gear and ponchos. I don't fault State or UM students for leaving early this week.


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Title] You do realize that the NCAA [Body]

Output: You do realize that the NCAA has a rule that coaches can't talk about recruits that haven't signed a letter of intent, don't you?


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Relax [Body]

Output: 3 weeks ago half of you thought the Tigers would miss the playoffs. Just one Verlander start away from the ALCS. Just hope Valverde isn't called on in the 9th.


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Title] Lloyd Brady Sighting [Body]

Output: Anyone else notice the one and only Lloyd Brady taking center stage in the photo included with the e-mail.


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Title] no offense to Denard [Body]

Output: but Matt Scott would likely start over him at Arizona. Don't forget the limitations RR had in 2010 with Denard. The 2010 offense struggled to score in the last half of the year.
