Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] When going unbalanced, why [Body]

Output: When going unbalanced, why has it changed from Schofield and lewan in the left to magnuson and lewan? Also why move lewan out to the tight end instead of having him at tackle and magnuson at end? I highly doubt Schofield or lewan would have been blown back like magnuson on the sneak. How has green progressed in pass protection? Is that one of the main problems preventing him from getting in the game? Is having deleo as returner on punts die to his hands and experience? What's the advantage of having the back up quarterbacks simply listening to the the play calls as opposed to signaling in the plays? Is this a way to simplify the gameplay without confusion for freshmen quarterbacks? Is it a way to help with mental reps? Will the five points of pressure be an emphasis in the future with devin while he runs?


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] Just playing devils [Body]

Output: Just playing devils advocate...did you have a job or have your parents give you some support? Most athletes do not have the time to work part time, and a good portion come from an economiccally disadvantaged background. I agree on the economics lessons though...probably something that should be given to nearly all students.


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] A lot of players live further [Body]

Output: A lot of players live further away from campus (past Yost, down by Briarwood, etc) and have multiple roommates (ie rent a house with other athletes) to be able to afford housing. Most also, or at least they did, have a bridge card for additional food money. Finally, I know the football team has dinners provided to them during the season. When I worked for the university housing department they would bring us the the left over steak and good food the football team wouldnt eat. With all of this said, I think most would still need a job/some extra money to be able to afford eatting out, new video games, shoes, etc that many of their classmates have. It would be hard being an athlete coming from a higher poverty area and seeing your classmates having new everything because their parents are rich...you are doing something for hte univeristy while they are just living on their parents dime.


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] I think it is a combo of [Body]

Output: I think it is a combo of things. There havent been many noon games the last few years so eventhough historically noon has been the time, it is not what students are trained for. Noon games are easier to get to when its a big ten team or a bigger game. I think the big one is this though...the new GA policy puts all the empty seats in one block rather than what it was a few years ago where there were pockets of empty/rows looked fuller but were not squeezed in. I know when I was a student I would start off with extra room, be cramped from the mid 1st until half, then have more room after halftime. Now late students cant fill in rows and are forced to be in the empty blocks up top


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Title] people on the interwebs be [Body]

Output: people on the interwebs be angry. Students historically do not show up at game time for noon games and/or crappy games. With the game being during the first real weekend of classes and being on a Jewish holiday, its logical that some students wouldnt show up. Would it be nice to see the student section over flowing like at ND-YES. Is that an unreasonable expectation-YES. It is what it is


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] Remembering a 1 am burger [Body]

Output: Remembering a 1 am burger from a place with a big chested girl holding a beer while riding a hamburger and forgetting the name of one of the nicest and best restaurants in Ann Arbor in the Gandy Dancer...sounds about right. And what he should have done was get a shake from Bobs, hoagie from Spots, and fries w/sauce from Quickie

Output: An old friend of mine designed the course. Pretty cool!


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 3 days ago [Title] My goal [Body]

Output: It is my goal to bike across the lower 48 within the next 10 years. I won't mind taking the time off to do it. Potential employers (and current for me) would see that as a positive that a very small proportion of society ever contemplates. It speaks to your character. I think it's common to take 1 month minimum which is still nearly 100 miles per day. Even more optimistic would be to race in the Race Across America - goes from San Diego to Atlantic City, NJ and you only get 12 days 2 hrs. Winners typically do it in 8 days. It's crazy.

Output: I'm pretty sure this was the 2nd Ultimate Warrior... the first one died shortly after taking over the spotlight way back when. True, yes? Weird!


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] Indeed [Body]

Output: Very well put! And let's not forget that an OC worth his salt can adapt his offense to the players he's got. Michigan has a terrific athlete in Devin Gardner. I hope Nuss can take advantage of Devin's talents.


Input: [Date] 1 year 33 weeks ago [Title] I don't feel great about it [Body]

Output: I'd rather they play a better opponent becuase Michigan seems to play up or down to the competition. It'll be a close game. Michigan plays terribly out west. Michigan probably loses in annoying fashion. I wish I had reasons to make me feel otherwise. Still, you can bet your ass I'll be watching and cheering on my team and HOPING for something good.


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] Poop, I thought I had that [Body]

Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Title] new times [Body]

Output: I work next door (museums annex... also to be torn down) and will also have to relocate. The reason both buildings are going is they are building another biology/science building. Ruthven will be renovated into new "pay to play" labs. This area will look quite different.


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Cadel seems to be riding very [Body]

Output: Cadel seems to be riding very well this year... I think he'll be in stronger contention than he was last year. Cadel is the team leader so they'll ride for him. It could get interesting later in the race though. I have a feeling that if last year were to repeat itself, Cadel would have his team support TVG and go for the podium.


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Definitely expecting an [Body]

Output: Definitely expecting an awesome Tour this year. Lots of big guns are back (though Wiggins is out again) and the course is fricking amazing. A mountain-top finish on the penultimate stage (versus the usual TT) will be very cool, especially if the GC is a close call. I'm very excited for le Tour to begin in case it wasn't apparent!


Input: [Date] 2 years 5 weeks ago [Title] Wow, that kid is fast. I [Body]

Output: Wow, that kid is fast. I would absolutely love it if the kid chose Michigan... but I'm with Ace and don't think we'll see him leave Louisiana for Ann Arbor. Let's hope I'm wrong!

Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Title] 12-0 [Body]

Output: I honestly can see them winning all of those games next year... as long as they play sound, disciplined football.


Input: [Date] 2 years 38 weeks ago [Title] Cap one perhaps [Body]

Output: But man it's going to be against one of Georgia, Florida, S. or LSU. Shit, I hope Michigan has ALL of their players back and fully healthy for that one!


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] It does seem odd [Body]

Output: Or amazing, however you want to look at it. I thought he was severly concussed after that hit. He couldn't even stand on his own. I really hope, for his sake, that there's no Tomfoolery going on with the coaching staff and doctors so they will clear him to play. In all honesty though, it's great he's been cleared as that would indicate that there's nothing wrong. I hate to see those players get hurt, no matter who they play for.


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] This one... [Body]

Output: is the biggest mystery to me. I thought for sure they'd get dropped out of the rankings this week. Both Texas and WVU got their asses handed to them in both losses. The Big Ten rep is the reason for Michigan being ranked where they are... but I do NOT think those two teams should be ranked ahead of UM. Just annoying.


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Title] Yes, win indeed [Body]

Output: These players seem to have a great focus each week. No let down against Purdue or Illinois even after each game became a sure victory. I see this game playing out a lot like last year's game at Illinois. You never really felt like Illinois would win because the defense kept shutting them down. Eventually, Michigan's offense will put up a bunch of points and put the game out of reach. Lincoln at night... I don't see that as being enough for Nebraska to beat Michigan this year.


Input: [Date] 2 years 42 weeks ago [Title] Crap [Body]

Output: Michigan 28 Notre Dame 20


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] I agree [Body]

Output: Even before this game I thought 9-3 would be about right. They do have depth back there and I think they'll turn into a good unit once again. We just have to hope they don't lose any more starters. And I'm not convinced that ND or Neb are losses by any stretch.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] justin.tv [Body]

Output: I used this site to watch The Game last year and it worked out well. I recommend it... it's also free.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Actually, I agree with you [Body]

Output: I will get behind Hoke's decision either way on this one. But it bothers me how everyone is so quick to be judge, jury, and executioner. I really don't think it will be a huge difference if Fitz is not playing. I think Rawls will stand in quite well.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Someone else made a good point [Body]

Output: What if this had happened back in January? Would you still sit him or would he have served his penalty during those months? And how long does it take to work off that mistake? Will he be benched because this was a recent mistake? Sitting a game is not the only penalty, that's my point. Also, I appreciate the snark and sarcasm. For the record, I do have an advanced degree from U of M... I have a LOT of pride in that accomplishment and I do feel that we as UM students and grads have a higher standard to uphold. I just don't necessarily agree with you all about sitting Fitz. Whatever Coach Hoke decides is the right choice in my opinion. As for MilkSteak, a shower will make you clean again after the victory in Dallas. :0)


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] Wow good point [Body]

Output: Someone that has thought this out a bit more than just saying, "We are Michigan and we are morally superior to everyone else." Thanks for that. I was beginning to think I was the only one.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] God forbid anyone on this board... [Body]

Output: ever gets a DUI! I'm sure it's happened many times. Glass houses my friends. If Fitz plays, who of you will be pissed off after Michigan wins?! No one. An above poster was correct, we are not the SEC. But we are playing the SEC. Something to keep in mind. I don't see a problem with Fitz playing. He's paid a price than none of us know anything about so all the judge Judy's out there should shut up. If he sits, he sits. If he plays you'll get over it.

Output: rather boil themselves in oil than play those teams in anything. I know that calling this a fact is a rhetorical device, but I'm not sure the opposition to Rutgers and Maryland is as universal accross the fanbase as you think. I wouldn't suggest that all east coast big ten alum like it, but my very unscientific survey says alot of DC alum do like it. I wouldn't be shocked to know that some Michigan lacrosse supporters like it too.


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Thanks for the thoughtful response [Body]

Output: Actually downvoting a response purely because you disagree seems incredibly lazy (particularly on a board that prides itself on good analytics). Seems like it would be much more constructive (and in the spirit of the board) to explain why you disagree.


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Title] Thanks for sharing your secrets [Body]

Output: Now I guess we'll all be trying to figure out tbe inefficiencies creatwd by your advice in the Mgoblog pool.. Do I compensate for tbe home team/conference bias by picking Big ten teams to do worse than I thought or maybe Everyone else will do that so I need to favor the big ten teams to take advantage of everone overcompensating by not picking them?


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] An honest question - what is flamebait? [Body]

Output: I posted twice in this thread - once to suggest that we'd likely try other combinations at offense line that actually included Kalis, another to suggest that it would be useful to include weights of waljons who are actually in the discussion for playing time. Neither of those seem to be flames to me. Is there something in either the content or style of those posts that doesn't meet general board guidelines? If those are considered flamebait, it seems that just about anything I would post (and frankly much of the stuff others post - is flamebait).


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] Why no love for the walkons? [Body]

Output: At a minimum,: Kerridge, Reynolds, Glasgow and Burzynski have a shot at the two deep and it wouldn't be shocking to see two of them actually start


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] I assume they are trying a number of different combinations [Body]

Output: Who knows what we'll see on film, but probably Lewan, Braden, Burzynskii, Kallis, Schofield Lewan, Braden,Glasgow, Kalis Schofield Maybe Burzynski instead of Braden Maybe Schofield inside and Magnuson outside?


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] Posted in totally the wrong place [Body]

Output: Thats what I get for posting on the metro. If I could downvote myself I would


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] Hiring Hoke and Mattison in the first place was pretty good [Body]

Output: Lewan staying for his senior year, Gardner getting his red-shirt, our offensive line haul the last two years, our linebacking corp, Green coming to A2 - I wouldn't want to be too critical of the football gods. It's great to be a Wolverine


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] But only half as many players. [Body]

Output: Instead of 64 teams playing on schooldays - only 32 would


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] You can be Irish and green and still bleed blue [Body]

Output: I'm a pretty ardent environmentalist - which is often being associatwd with being green. I'm also quite proud of my irish heritage - also often associated with the color green. Neither of those lessens the fact that I bleed blue and am very proud of my Michigan degree and being part of a Uniersity that has accomplished and continues to accomplish so much on the athletic field and across a whole range of academic and research areas that make people's lives and the world a better place. But frankly, bleeding blue and having a strong disdain for a number of collegiate sports teams including Notre Dame, Michigan State and Ohio State doesn't lessen my respect for people who have managed to overcome a poor choice about where to go as a college student when they were 17 or 18 and accomplish big things worthy of respect.


Input: [Date] 2 years 19 weeks ago [Title] Or it could mean you moved Schofield inside [Body]

Output: I think it does in fact suggest that Braden is significantly ahead of Magnusun, because if Magnuson was clearly one of the top four non-center candidates, I think you'd at least be be considering Lewan and Magnuson at tackle and Scofield and Kalis at guard.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Great addition to a great post [Body]

Output: I've enjoyed everything this team has accomplished so far and am looking forward to seeing what else they can accomplish


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Not really looking to argue [Body]

Output: With you about your football knowledge. You were the one who touted your 2012 projections, not me. I'd be pretty shocked if my picks are right too. I think they'll be a real battle for the center position with a 40 percent chance of Miller, a 40 percent chance of Burzynski and a 20% chance of someone else. At the other spot, it's more like 30 percent chance of Braden at guard, a 30 percent chance of Bryant at guard, a 30 percent chance of Magnuson at tackle and a 10 percent chance of someone else. The main point of my picks is I'm not sold on the seemingly conventional picks of Miller and Bryant.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Since the only real questions were [Body]

Output: Who'd play guard opposite Omareh and who'd play center and you got both wrong, I'm not that impressed


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] If you can't go out on a llimb on a message board, where can you [Body]

Output: I agree there are a number of possible combinations that make guesses like this almost certainly wrong. That having been said, would you have picked Mealer as our center at this time last year? Instead of saying I'm wrong, why not say who you think it will be. I'm hoping for something bolder than: tackles : Lewan and Schofield, guards: Kalis and Bryant and center: Miller.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Kalis and Magnuson [Body]

Output: I think there could be some surprises on the offensive line. Similar to Mealer at center this year, I think we could be see a starting five (in terms of personel and/or position) that we aren't expecting. In terms of sure things, clearly, Lewan is our left tackle. Schofield starting is also a sure thing, but it doesn't neccesarily have to be at right tackle. I think we'd all agree that the next surest thing is Kalis at guard. That leaves battles at center and at a non-center slot (assuming Schofield moves inside if the other winner is at tackle). At center the likely contenders are: Miller (the presumed starter), Burzynski (the only one with any non-garbage playing time - albeit at guard), Kugler ( presumed to be the most talented, but a true freshman and recovering from an injury), Bars (seeminly the most likely, non true freshman, non walk-on alternative to Miller) and Glasgow (another walkon with some buzz, but no love as a recruit). Bars seems like a long shot as it appears that he wasn't practicing there during bowl practice and got no mention from Funk in his recent comments on the topic. Miller seems the popular choice, but I've already gone out on a limb and suggested that I think the fact that Burzynski earning non-garbage playing time counts for something. So, while there is an opportunity for the red-shirt freshman Bars, I'm gonna stay out on my limb and say Burzynski is the one to make an impact here. At the other spot, the leaders seem to be Bryant at guard and Magnuson at tackle. Braden could fill either spot and there are a number of longer shots at tackle (Bosch, Glasgow, Bars and Burzynski). Other true freshman or walkons could surprise, but I think this covers the likely contenders. I really like the idea of Magnuson here. If it is true that Braden is getting a look here, it sounds like Magnuson may be looking string as at least the third best tackle. Having him as a starter means more proven depth this year at tackle and an experienced blindside tackle for next year. While Bryant got some buzz before his injury, I think that should be tempered by two things. First, he's coming back from an injury. Second, turns out the guys he was competing with were not that good. I'm betting that Magnuson at tackle is better than Bryant at guard (and is the best of all the options to fill the spot. So, to actually get to replying to the post, I think both Kalis and Magnuson are going to make an impact on the line. I'm also putting in my early bet for a starting line of: tackles - Lewan and Magnuson, guards - Schofield and Kalis and center - Burzynski Sent from my iPad


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Isn't usage the way words become accepted? [Body]

Output: Do we really need to wait for Websters or someone else to tell us it's ok? This doesn't seem to be a case like its and it's where there is a clear set of rules.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Thanks [Body]

Output: So that means he has an extra spring practice and depending on when Miller got to camp, an extra 3 or 4 months of conditioning. That coupled with being 10 months older suggests why he might be ahead in year one and two, but if Miller is really better, he should win out. Guess we'll have to wait to find out.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] I' agree [Body]

Output: Frankly I was just throwing out there that I don't see why people are basically giving the center posittion to Miller and completely discounting Burzynski, since the only real evidence in favor of Miller is his 3 stars. While they both appear to have entered the program at the same time (I can find no evidence that Burzynski was on the roster in 2010 even though he is listed as a redsirt sophomore in the roster). I wouldn't have said anything else if severall people hadn't jumped all over my post and at least in my opinion seemed to suggest my opinion was completely stupid. As you've noted, Burzynski has played center before and Funk has indicated he is getting another shot this spring. Personally I think the fact that the coaches have expressed some confidence in his ability by giving him meaningful snaps (albeit at guard rather than center) is in fact a relevant data point.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] And your argument is [Body]

Output: Miller will be better because he's a three star and Burzynski's only a walk-on?


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] According to Mgoblue [Body]

Output: Both of them have been on the team for two years. While Burzynski is listed as a redshirt sophomore, he is also only credited with two seasons on the team. I get that you all think I'm an idiot for this opinion. We can see in September


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Read my reply to your post [Body]

Output: The actual coach of the offensive line has said the best five will play. He can teach someone to snap. He doesn't even need to Burzynski since he's also been practicing at center. I am infering from that philosophy that the sixth guy to come in would therefore have been yhe sixth best offensive lineman on the team iregardless of position. That would mean last year, Burzynski was better than Miller. It is quite possible that Miller could improve more than Burzynski. I am just expressing my opinion that Burzynski will be center. I could be wrong. We'll know in September


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Not sure it is totally pointless [Body]

Output: Centers block, don't they? If Miller was a better blocker, I expect he'd have been in when they needed a player. Funk has explicitly said, the best five will play, even if it means teaching one of them to snap. Mealer was supposed to be a gaurd, but he played center. And Burzynski has been practicing at center. You are perfectly free to your opinion, but I don't think basing my opinion on a battle between Burzynski and Miller is totally pointless. With regards to Burzynski being older, according to the rosters on Mgoblue, he has only been on the roster for two years, even though he'll be a redshirt junior next season, so it seems he in fact has the same amount of time and experience in the program.

Unless you are incredibly disciplined making sure some bad stuff doesn't slip into your diet. I imagine in the atmosphere Demens is now in that is all taken care of for him. He probably doen't have to shop for or prepare his own healthy food and there are probably alot less opportunities to find unhealthy stuff

Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Body] Richard Sherman is the best corner in football and was the best corner on the field last night. The 49ers treated him like Deion Sanders and just avoided whatever side of the field he was on until that last play. I am just curious why everyone here is all butt hurt that he had a Darius Morris moment. "Get the F@#@ off my court!" He is far from a thug, even though he did grow up in Compton and has dreads and for a few moments was a load black man. He is not in need of media training, I will point to that Stanford Communications degree for that. He is cocky, he is arrogant, and he is the BEST corner in the NFL. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Body] Izzo's style is going to continue to win games as long as he is coaching. Same with Bo Ryan, that is until they start calling fouls in the B10 the way they do in the ACC. [Title]

Output: Agreed


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Body] They had an in-season transfer, so adding the second commit is not a surprise. Adding a commit that was originally a Minny signed isn't exactly stealing commits from Middle Tennessee State [Title]

Output: Transfer


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Body] I would agree that in the past THJ took a lot of bad shots, but this year that was not the case. A lot of the shots he missed in the tourney were on drives and foul line area jumpers, those are not bad shots. Sure he missed some in the offense 3's, but they were in the offense and not bad shots. Label him a streaky shooter if you like, but he (at least this year) was not a poor shot taker. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] Just curious about this selection of the team, was it just for the last two games? Because McLemore was horrible until the Michigan game. Stauskas was only great for one game. I think Timmay was more deserving than Nik. As for MOP, Burke was a dominant point guard and the engine for the best offense in the region. [Title]

Output: Just the last two games?


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Body] As a father now, this was even sweeter than the Fab 5 or 89 teams since my son was watching by my side. I never expected a 20 point win, I felt like I was in shock the entire game. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Body] My childhood rooting interests were Sparty except when they played Michigan. So even though I loathe the current state of Spartan fandom, I will be rooting for them and the B1G. I want an all B1G final four. That is the absolute best thing for the league and my team. Plus it will be the ultimate shutthehellup to Barkley. [Title]

Output: Gee Thanks!


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] I'm sure knowing that you will be back in your home state for a game your freshman year is not a downside. Not sure how much of a factor it played, but it is a good point. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Body] Everyone around here realizes that when Commitapalooza occured last year, the interwebs were all aflutter with talk of Michigan cheating. No one here would believe that, so why do we assume that Ole Miss is? Nkemdiche has a brother on campus that lead the team in tackles. Treadwell has Standifer, who lest we forget, was the person that first brought Treadwell to Michigan. Connor went to high school in the area. And that DT out of JC was an Ole Miss recruit before he had to go to JC. The story on the rest is easy, get them all on campus at the same time, and have the top guys recruit the other top guys. I'm not saying there is no possibility of 'extra benefits' - likely of the female variety - but there are also reasonable explainations for the recruits as well. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 week 4 days ago [Body] It did? Please explain what point I missed. Brand recognition matters to an extent. Winning and player development matter more. The end. Harvard has great brand recognition. That data point means next to nothing without a competent football team to go along with it. But MSU is doing pretty well for themselves on the recruiting trail as of late even without a $100 million deal from Nike. [Title]

Output: Oh, and run Bayshore in


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Body] We've only ever stayed at the RenCen, it is close and reasonable if you book through the detroit marathon link. The course is really nice, although most will tell you the back half is a little boring (it is) and sparsely populated by fans (true as well). Mostly flat course although the bridge will take its toll later in the race if you don't check your pace. You will have evil thoughts towards Belle isle forever - bridge incline mile 19 going on and 23 going off and will run into a head wind the entire time. I've run 5 differennt courses and Detroit on 4 occasions, I think it's a fairly hard course. Running my first Boston in 2 weeks so I'm interested to see how it stacks up in comparison. I was almost stopped heading into Canada by border police because my bib was concealed. I carry my enhanced ID for piece of mind by it probably isn't necessary although if you are stopped you are screwed. I've never seen anyone get stopped unless their bib is covered. Ambassodor bridge sunrise and coming out of the tunnel into America is unlike anything I've experienced in a race and for the cost I recommend. [Title]

Input: [Date] 27 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I have no love for Izzo, but it sounds like he considers pre-college activity to be the source of the problem. I don't necessarily agree with his assessment but I don't think he is taking any sort of shot at Michigan. I'm also not sure how the question was asked but the part about Lavert probably get's the lead because he was a more significan player then Bess. He says identical things about both guys so he is either taking shots at himself and our coach or just commenting on the issue with no agenda what-so-ever. I'm not sure stress factures, tendonitis, or other over-use injuries are more common now but I think he has a point about taking time away to rest the body. Most of these injuries start as something the guys can play through so they do that and the cumulative effect sidelines them eventually. [Title]

Output: I have no love for Izzo, but


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 1 day ago [Body] John Clayton already gave it to you. He couldn't get an offer out of another NFL team because they all recognize his terrible personality will tear apart any organization he touches. So going back to college was his only option, you see? He literally begged Michigan to hire him. [Title]

Output: John Clayton already gave it


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 3 days ago [Body] They basically made a front page story out of Schefter's tweet. I really can't remember if there ever was any integrity or investigative skill at ESPN back in the day, but now it is nothing more then sensationalized re-hashing of sporting events and news. They have nothing to offer when it comes to actual news stories and their "reporters" are ill equipped and trained to handle breaking news - they just don't have any practice at it. Didn't basically the same thing happen with Mantei Teo? Didn't ESPN refuse to report and acknowledge sources outside of their own? I get needing to verify sources and not just recycling the reporting of others if you can't independently verify - but the bigger problem seems that they aren't getting any information of their own. Well except for Wiley and they seem to be ignoring him. [Title]

Output: They basically made a front


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I thought that too but "staffers" could be any of 100 employees. Could be the water boy or it could be their anonymous league source. Or it is made up bullshit - I could go either way. [Title]

Output: I thought that too but


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 4 days ago [Body] It's been about a week that Brian has seemingly believed that there is a better then good chance that Harbaugh was coming to Michigan right? All of that has been based on what are probably reliable sources, but he's been saying for days that his email box is flooded with credible pieces of info that point to Harbaugh returning to Michigan. So why last night does he post a front page piece stating that he is 99% sure that it's a done deal? He has been saying all along it is happening unless Harbaugh has a last minute change of heart. Yesterday's post doesn't happen because he go a 1000 more pieces of circumstantial evidence - Harbaugh could still change his mind. That post only happens because Brian has very very very good reason to believe it is signed, sealed, and delivered in writing. [Title]

Output: It's been about a week that


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 4 days ago [Body] Only a handful of people would have been in that room, so his information is still second or third hand right? Credible, but there is still a margin of error in that it could be false. But my guess is he has credible information that there is a written agreement and all of the circumstantial evidence bolsters that piece of information. [Title]

Output: Only a handful of people


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 5 days ago [Body] And to take it a step further I fully believe there is a signed contract at this point. Brian mentioned that he doesn't have a picture of a contract, but I don't think he says those words and puts himself out there with 99% certainty unless there is something in writing. Even the athletic department seems to be too leaky at this point for it not to be a done deal. I think the rumor mill in A2 is in full effect because slowly more and more people who need to prepare for next week are being fed details - Hackett doesn't allow this to happen unless it's a done deal already. [Title]

Output: Agreed


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 4 days ago [Body] C'mon grow up and get some perspective, or get sober. Whichever helps more. HS football players sign with teams to get an education and play football at a high level. There are a lot of schools in this country which can give you an education on par with the University of Michigan, and I'm sure plenty of those have football programs that don't regress in developing their players. We are a shit-show right now whether you like it or not. Would you take a job with a company that was falling apart at the seams just because you have a sentimental attachement to it? Kids have to what is best for them. I hope we pull out of this someday soon but the recent history of this storied football program doesn't instill a lot of confidence or hope. [Title]

Output: C'mon grow up and get some


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 6 days ago [Body] So when people you don't know continuously call your ugly-ass mom ugly you have no desire to rise to her defense? It's called civic pride. The fact that you call it a pretty crappy city means you probably grew up in Livonia or Farmington Hills and spent almost no appreciable time in Detroit. And having a measure of civic pride doesn't mean that you fail to recognize the many, many shortcomings that exist in the city. Thin skinned enough for you? [Title]

Input: [Date] 44 weeks 6 days ago [Body] The second option would be to sear, then rest for 10 minutes to allow heat to dissipate, then place on indirect heat until reaching desired temp, then rest again. [Title]

Output: The second option would be to


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 6 days ago [Body] The rationale for searing right before the meat has hit ideal internal temp is that a good sear happens at 500+ degrees. Which means there is a lot of intense heat raising the interal temperature very quickly but not evenly. If I start my steak at 500 and move to 300 there is going to be more risidual heat on the outer portion of the steak but that heat won't necessarily have moved inside. So you won't get even distribution and if you aren't very careful the outer half of your steak will be well done while the interior is medium rare. If you do the sear at the end of the cook you can pull the meat off the heat which allows you to halt (well at least slow down relatively quickly) the cooking process. [Title]

Output: The rationale for searing


Input: [Date] 1 year 7 weeks ago [Body] I don't think most people here are going to begrudge anyone for getting theirs. It's just that in no other sport does a head coach make approximately 30X as much as the most highly compensated player (legitimately compensated). So the head shaking doesn't have as much to do with him making that much but rather making that much in a system where those in charge claim the players are more then adequately "paid" for their 60 hour work week then turn around and dump wheel barrels full of cash in front of AD's, Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Recruiters, Trainers, you get the point right? It's not like the conferences are getting the shaft on TV revenue either, they own the damn networks. So this is just another example of how flush with cash athletic departments are and how they have to find excuses to piss away the revenue while they cry about amateurism and how fearful they are that they will corrupt the innocent kids. [Title]

I don't get it at all, you hear nothing out of the kid but his parents seem to be plastering their differences all over the recruiting sites. It's to the point where I'd rather he go to state if that's what he really wants then have his parents force him to choose Michigan. [Title]

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

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

Input: [Date] 1 year 43 weeks ago [Body] And just like a high school sometimes the readers of this blog feel they are untitled to voice their opinions as loudly as they can with no repercussions. There really is this belief that an open forum provides some free speech right, no matter how harmful that speech might be to the overall product. I think this blog would be better served sometimes with just a comment section after the front page content instead of a dedicated forum which grants every dickhead with an opinion a platform to rabble rabble rabble. [Title]

Input: [Date] 49 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I have a feeling these are the types of games we are gong to get more often than not. A game against a decent, not marquee, opponent in an area of the country with a fair number of alums.

I don't know the years but I think there are 2-4 more years we were recognized as the NC by various polls that we do not recognize currently. Anyone know the years? [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Body] I previously taught at inner city public school and the statistics cited in the article are unsuprising. The students I taught were an average 3rd/4th grade reading level as juniors and had single digits/low teens on the ACT. With so many NCAA atheletes, especially football and basketball, coming from impovershed inner cities, this is the type of student that is getting admitted. These kids meet the NCAA regulations mainly based on grade inflation in HS due to the schools fear of failure and trying to look good. I would be in favor of a manditory redshirt year where student-athetes learn how to be students before athletes if they fall in certain academic criteria. This way students that are academically capable can be eligable as freshmen, but those in need of help can shift their focus away from the field/court/pitch/pool/etc and towards their education [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Body] Last year I taught High School History in Detroit Public Schools. While it was quite obvious reading was a major problem (11th grade students reading at an average of 3rd grade), there was very little I could do about it. It really takes a ground up approach with learning reading strategies/vocab/techniques/etc from a young age and at home with thier parents. By the time they are in high school, you can try to play catch up, but it is next to impossible. This is one of the extreme cases. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 41 weeks ago [Body] Placing the blame on one individual, player or coach, is always impossible. A missed field goal, a nearly tipped/intercepted pass, a near first down spot (I think they still got the review wrong), a miss thrown pass, a missed tackle, miss block, a bad play call, etc all contributed to the loss. We simply need to take this as a learning experience and grow from it. Also, I agree about a level of maturity on the board. I avoided reading the blog for days after the loss so I didnt have to hear all the negativity/profanity. Football is a game, not life or death. Enjoy it, root on your team, root for the health/saftey of everyone, quietly sulk for a few hours after a loss and appreciate a good game of football [Title]

Walt will kill the Gray Matter people with Ricin and explain how he built that just like he built his meth empire while he watches them slowly die. Then he will try to meet up with his wife and kids but just ends up watching them creeply and leaving them the money before he walks away without contacting them. Show ends with him putting on his Heizenberg hat and walking into a sunset [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Body] Devils advocate...why run a sneak behind him then? The first games Schofield and lewan were partnered on unbalanced. I'd rather run behind my all American and take my chances my end gets a kickout then let him get blown back by a d tackle like whya happened in the fumble. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Body] Practice reps are different than game reps...especially when teams change fronts or stunts they have never seen before. It will get better trust me. Devin also needs to get less happy feet. He is to quick to vacate the pocket at times causing protection to break down. I agree they should have better protection but there is no substitute for game reps [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 44 weeks ago [Body] When going unbalanced, why has it changed from Schofield and lewan in the left to magnuson and lewan? Also why move lewan out to the tight end instead of having him at tackle and magnuson at end? I highly doubt Schofield or lewan would have been blown back like magnuson on the sneak. How has green progressed in pass protection? Is that one of the main problems preventing him from getting in the game? Is having deleo as returner on punts die to his hands and experience? What's the advantage of having the back up quarterbacks simply listening to the the play calls as opposed to signaling in the plays? Is this a way to simplify the gameplay without confusion for freshmen quarterbacks? Is it a way to help with mental reps? Will the five points of pressure be an emphasis in the future with devin while he runs? [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Just playing devils advocate...did you have a job or have your parents give you some support? Most athletes do not have the time to work part time, and a good portion come from an economiccally disadvantaged background.

Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] A lot of players live further away from campus (past Yost, down by Briarwood, etc) and have multiple roommates (ie rent a house with other athletes) to be able to afford housing. Most also, or at least they did, have a bridge card for additional food money. Finally, I know the football team has dinners provided to them during the season. When I worked for the university housing department they would bring us the the left over steak and good food the football team wouldnt eat. With all of this said, I think most would still need a job/some extra money to be able to afford eatting out, new video games, shoes, etc that many of their classmates have. It would be hard being an athlete coming from a higher poverty area and seeing your classmates having new everything because their parents are rich...you are doing something for hte univeristy while they are just living on their parents dime. [Title]

Output: A lot of players live further


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] I think it is a combo of things. There havent been many noon games the last few years so eventhough historically noon has been the time, it is not what students are trained for. Noon games are easier to get to when its a big ten team or a bigger game. I think the big one is this though...the new GA policy puts all the empty seats in one block rather than what it was a few years ago where there were pockets of empty/rows looked fuller but were not squeezed in. I know when I was a student I would start off with extra room, be cramped from the mid 1st until half, then have more room after halftime. Now late students cant fill in rows and are forced to be in the empty blocks up top [Title]

With the game being during the first real weekend of classes and being on a Jewish holiday, its logical that some students wouldnt show up. Would it be nice to see the student section over flowing like at ND-YES. Is that an unreasonable expectation-YES. It is what it is [Title]

Output: people on the interwebs be


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] Remembering a 1 am burger from a place with a big chested girl holding a beer while riding a hamburger and forgetting the name of one of the nicest and best restaurants in Ann Arbor in the Gandy Dancer...sounds about right. And what he should have done was get a shake from Bobs, hoagie from Spots, and fries w/sauce from Quickie [Title]

Output: Remembering a 1 am burger


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] the mobile app is great to organize posts and provides perfect reading material for you know what. Just make sure you dont take too long and read every post otherwise people start to wonder [Title]

Output: Speaking from experience...


Input: [Date] 1 year 48 weeks ago [Body] Be prepared for rain because if you don't, it will rain....BUT if you bring a poncho and are prepared, it will not rain. My joints and knees are bad at this weather stuff [Title]

Output: My knees and joints say...


Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Title] Had to log in [Body]

Output: to give my two cents on the best thread ever. I had to go with the under technique for a while, due to the animals, but they overcame that barrier. Then, just ended up putting the roll on nearby cabinet or on top of the tank. This works well until retards who come to my house try to be helpful and re-install the roll to its standard location. I have now removed all the toilet paper roll holders from all three shitters and all is happy in the hood. there ya go.


Input: [Date] 3 years 5 weeks ago [Title] I will be there [Body]

Output: It's my hometown and Taco is playing for the ole alma mater - North didn't even exist while I lived there. Anyway, my folks live about half a mile from the field, so I'm thinking it might be a perfect spot for an MGoBlog pregame shindig (post game too, maybe). Having a Michigan themed tailgate for a HS game in the heart of Buckeye country might be the best idea of all time. I don't know if we can contact each other directly on here, but if anyone figures that out, and is interested, feel free to shoot me a message of some sort. Otherwise, I'll figure out some details and toss a post up when the time gets a little closer. Cool? Cool.


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Oh crap [Body]

Output: I'm gonna have to get rid of my Old Glory thong before The Man comes a knockin'. Oh well, I hope I didn't taint an Amurican icon.


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Yes, they are hideous [Body]

Output: If someone made me wear these, I would have to stick my foot up their ass just to improve their aesthetics.


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] Gotta agree [Body]

Output: Intergallactic might be the worst B-boy song possible in terms of a pump up song. Overall, the list isn't horrible - its a definite improvement. The rap section is pretty week tho. Can't agree with Outkast's Fresh/Clean either when ya got Bombs Over Baghdad sittin just a few tracks away. Love the inclusion of any Rage song though - great for that perfect mix of funkiness and getting pumped up. How could you not get pumped if Bombtrack comes at you?


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] True. [Body]

Output: In fact, I heard that Shane now has the authority to accept verbal commitments and then just inform the coaches later. This role may soon extend to B-Ball recruits as well.


Input: [Date] 3 years 11 weeks ago [Title] He will, [Body]

Output: but then he is gonna be pissed when he finds out the writer he hired doesn't look like Casper and can't walk through walls.

Output: tip back some brass monkey in honor of MCA. Nothin else.


Input: [Date] 3 years 12 weeks ago [Title] This blows [Body]

Output: I am really bummed by this. I've loved me some b-boys since the eighties. I know MCA has been sick for a while, but this still really sucks. Thank you, Adam, and keep it ill - wherever you are.

Output: I can't wait to see Taco, Jake, and Tamani all reresenting my home town together. Also can't wait to see the Taco/Butt matchup head to head this fall. Go Picktown! Go Blue!


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Title] This picture [Body]

Output: Makes me giggle. Can't find any evidence that he has a U of M offer yet or if he has any interest. Anyone got any inside info? Its about time we get started on the 2014 class - 2013 is so last weekend.


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Title] There's nothing wrong with [Body]

Output: breaking the journalist mode with a, "Damn skippy, Mofo!"

Output: The real Hulk has been informed of your blasphemy and is on his way to smash you.


Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Title] This kid is amazing [Body]

Output: To give the basketball program so much over the past four years AND receive an honor like this is truly impressive. Novak is once again showing the younger guys on the team how its done at Michigan. Thank you and congratulations, Zack.


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Title] I miss ` [Body]

Output: When Brian use to post on the message boards from time to time.

Output: MGoJen is back! Yaaayyyyyy! Group hug! Hey! No groping, Blazefire!


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Congrats, Zack! [Body]

Output: I don't own any UM b-ball jerseys, but I have been eyeing either a Novak or Douglas jersey lately. There guys are the perfect complimentary pair of representatives for the program. In fact, I just decided that I should own both jerseys - ya can't have one without the other. I hope the Novak jersey comes with standard issue blood stains. Seriously, congrats and thanks,Zack. Lets hope the team can send him and Stu out on a high note. Bo Blue!


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Su'a Cravens [Body]

Output: Does anyone else say this kids name in their head as if you are Pacino in Scent of a Woman? Can't get a clip here at work. Can somebody help a brotha out with an embed?


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Title] No, he will get disqualified [Body]

Output: when he decides to curl the 235 lbs (or whatever the standard weight is) instead of benching it.


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Eh [Body]

Output: Not bad, but I saw the Incredible Hulk throw a city bus down the street once. Something for MM to really shoot for I guess.


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Title] All right, screw this [Body]

Output: I am oficially changing the name of that conference from "The Big East" to "The Big - Hey, You Wanna Join Too? Great!"


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Sucks [Body]

Output: After RVB's production this year, I really thought he would see some scouting love. He still might, but not going to the combine really hurts.


Input: [Date] 3 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Echo [Body]

Output: Like Jaron, I grew up outside of Cbus (Pickerington) as a UM fan. My experience was a little bit different though since it was during the Cooper era. The suckeye fanatics were no where near as annoying as they are today. Your general non-true sportsfans could not care less about OSU. Now that they had some success, EVERYONE jumped on the wagon. Way too many uninformed fanatics running around that town nowadays. Also, I never had any trouble finding fellow UM fans back in the day. I haven't lived there for over ten years, so I would be curious to know how prevalent UM fans are nowadays.


Input: [Date] 3 years 26 weeks ago [Title] This [Body]

Output: cracked my shit up. Thanks for the morning chuckle, aaamichfan


Input: [Date] 3 years 32 weeks ago [Title] Yeah, [Body]

Output: I thought for sure Snyder would get it and Hoke or the Baylor coach would be the runner-up. Not sure how Gundy came away with it. I thought the cowboys were picked to do pretty well pre-season. I always thought this award went to the coach who did the most with the least or went exceedingly above the teams expectations. Oh well, next year Hoke will need to do less pointing and more ranting about being a MAN!


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Two Routes [Body]

Output: Kid might be super smart, but that highlight reel only showed him needing to remember 2 routes. A TE out and a TE cross. I think the only time he caught something different was a out that he shaded upfield because there was no safety over the top.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] bourbon [Body]

Output: Larceny flavored with a Calvados soaked apple to be precise...


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Depends [Body]

Output: How long will it take IU to fire Crean? When they do and get a competent coach in there, they would be my pcik... assuming of course they continue to recruit like they have been. If UM gets Brown (15) or Langford (16), then things will start looking up.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 4 days ago [Title] True [Body]

Output: You are correct in your inferences


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Not really [Body]

Output: His job isn't to decide which recruits to offer, never has been and isn't going to be. That is a coach's job. He's not a coach despite being referred to as one by the recruits.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 4 days ago [Title] On the Job [Body]

Output: Singletary is in the office and on the job right now. IF he isn't going to be retained, everyone might want to adjust their recruiting expectations down for the near future. He is the connect to recruits, let's just say it'll be a rough transition without him.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I Agree [Body]

Output: He did scouting for IMG to target which college players the agency wanted to go after. Plus, he predated Hoke and though I could be wrong Rich Rod. He's one of Lloyd's guys and he's the one who's been keeping the few recruits we currently have connected to UM. I seriously doubt he's on the way out.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Noticing it more [Body]

Output: I too have taken notice of the Non-nude but still NSFW avatars lately. Never considered myself an old fogey, but the person at the desk next to mine is a woman. That's not a good look for a workplace. And for those of you questioning why you would be on a sports blog at work, you must never have worked in an office. People don't work 100% of the time in the office. There are studies that show that taking a break every hours or so makes you more productive.


Input: [Date] 41 weeks 5 days ago [Title] QWash [Body]

Output: Just a little FYI, Q. Washington is also a member of Omega Psi Phi and was initiated while he was on the football team. Now seeing a 300 lb D-lineman performing that "hop" during a game would've been priceless.


Input: [Date] 51 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Almost 40... [Body]

Output: I am way too old to care and I think these look good. Wearing the same clothes for 20 years isn't tradition, it just means you haven't bothered to try anything else.


Input: [Date] 1 year 18 weeks ago [Title] The surprise will not be us or 'ville [Body]

Output: Look at his list, what do all of the schools outside of us and Louisville have in common? Hint: It's the same thing that is shared with Kennard's AAU team, the King James something or other. Yep, you guessed it, it's the swoosh. He is a Nike recruit and will go to a Nike school. It would be a shock if he doesn't choose the swoosh. It's all about the sneaker money. BTW, this is not an indictment against our Adidas contract, just an observation.


Input: [Date] 1 year 24 weeks ago [Title] Awesome [Body]

Output: This was just perfect!


Input: [Date] 1 year 27 weeks ago [Title] Thank You [Body]

Output: Richard Sherman is the best corner in football and was the best corner on the field last night. The 49ers treated him like Deion Sanders and just avoided whatever side of the field he was on until that last play. I am just curious why everyone here is all butt hurt that he had a Darius Morris moment. "Get the F@#@ off my court!" He is far from a thug, even though he did grow up in Compton and has dreads and for a few moments was a load black man. He is not in need of media training, I will point to that Stanford Communications degree for that. He is cocky, he is arrogant, and he is the BEST corner in the NFL.

Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Title] My bad... [Body]

Output: Sorry, reading is fundamental.


Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Title] Norfleet Fumble? [Body]

Output: Norfleet lost a fumble? Was this the botched special teams play? If so, it wasn't a lost fumble as Delano Hill recovered.


Input: [Date] 2 years 10 weeks ago [Title] Thanks [Body]

Output: I knew what word he was going for but my mental dictionary wasn't firing and I just couldn't get the right word to come up.


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

Output: Izzo's style is going to continue to win games as long as he is coaching. Same with Bo Ryan, that is until they start calling fouls in the B10 the way they do in the ACC.


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

Output: They had an in-season transfer, so adding the second commit is not a surprise. Adding a commit that was originally a Minny signed isn't exactly stealing commits from Middle Tennessee State


Input: [Date] 2 years 15 weeks ago [Title] Not buying [Body]

Output: I would agree that in the past THJ took a lot of bad shots, but this year that was not the case. A lot of the shots he missed in the tourney were on drives and foul line area jumpers, those are not bad shots. Sure he missed some in the offense 3's, but they were in the offense and not bad shots. Label him a streaky shooter if you like, but he (at least this year) was not a poor shot taker.


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] Love Coach Beilein's Reactions [Body]

Output: After the McGray layup, we get the 'YES!' single-clap. After the Spike steal and layup, we get the What?-Gotta get off my stool and applaud that clap.


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] Just the last two games? [Body]

Output: Just curious about this selection of the team, was it just for the last two games? Because McLemore was horrible until the Michigan game. Stauskas was only great for one game. I think Timmay was more deserving than Nik. As for MOP, Burke was a dominant point guard and the engine for the best offense in the region.


Input: [Date] 2 years 17 weeks ago [Title] HAIL [Body]

Output: As a father now, this was even sweeter than the Fab 5 or 89 teams since my son was watching by my side. I never expected a 20 point win, I felt like I was in shock the entire game.


Input: [Date] 2 years 18 weeks ago [Title] My brackets say Sparty [Body]

Output: My childhood rooting interests were Sparty except when they played Michigan. So even though I loathe the current state of Spartan fandom, I will be rooting for them and the B1G. I want an all B1G final four. That is the absolute best thing for the league and my team. Plus it will be the ultimate shutthehellup to Barkley.


Input: [Date] 2 years 20 weeks ago [Title] Speaking of Laimbeer [Body]

Output: Doyle's dad had a cup of coffee with the Pistons before he went overseas to play. Not sure it quite fits, but it is that whole pro father legacy thing again.


Input: [Date] 2 years 23 weeks ago [Title] Gee Thanks! [Body]

Output: Now I have to spend a significant portion of my day actually considering the random thoughts of Jose Canseco. Specifically, what internet blog did he find his theories on? Because there is no way he came up with that lucid a theory by himself.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Probably didn't hurt [Body]

Output: I'm sure knowing that you will be back in your home state for a game your freshman year is not a downside. Not sure how much of a factor it played, but it is a good point.


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Title] Not quite [Body]

Output: Chris worked for IMG Football after graduating Michigan. He left them for the job he has now.


Input: [Date] 2 years 25 weeks ago [Title] Pot meet Kettle [Body]

Output: Everyone around here realizes that when Commitapalooza occured last year, the interwebs were all aflutter with talk of Michigan cheating. No one here would believe that, so why do we assume that Ole Miss is? Nkemdiche has a brother on campus that lead the team in tackles. Treadwell has Standifer, who lest we forget, was the person that first brought Treadwell to Michigan. Connor went to high school in the area. And that DT out of JC was an Ole Miss recruit before he had to go to JC. The story on the rest is easy, get them all on campus at the same time, and have the top guys recruit the other top guys. I'm not saying there is no possibility of 'extra benefits' - likely of the female variety - but there are also reasonable explainations for the recruits as well.


Input: [Date] 2 years 29 weeks ago [Title] The Primer was for '14 recruits [Body]

Output: If I remember correctly, the Tremendous primer was for 2014 RB recruits.


Input: [Date] 5 years 15 weeks ago [Title] good problem to have if we are discussing Tate vs Denard [Body]

Output: CORRECTION: oops, didnt realize the fiancee had logged on and accidentally posted under her account.- goMichblue Man does Denard look much improved out there, more poised in the passing game plus a serious improvement in the accuracy department. It looks like he was checking down to open receivers instead of just taking off like last year. We need two options at the position and from an early spring look, we may have it. I'm still betting on Tate to start against UCONN, a year of experience/starting and all that competitiveness/toughness can't be counted out.


Input: [Date] 5 years 15 weeks ago [Title] yeah [Body]

Output: I agree with alot of what you said, what is up with Forcier? Is he nursing an injury? Hope he gets rested up and ready. I missed a bit of the game though, we took kids and they wanted to get out of the cold. Went to souvenir shop and bought t-shirts. Ten bucks was a great deal. Cant wait to see what Devin and Denard do this fall. I still miss Minor rage. It will kick ass if Justice Hayes comes to Mich, he is from my town, I've gotten to see him play a few games and he's quite impressive.


Input: [Date] 5 years 15 weeks ago [Title] the most awesome thing ever [Body]

Output: went to that site, pretty funny and addictive, you could waste alot of time on there, the kids loved it, thought it was hilarious. but speaking of addictive, mcdonalds vanilla cones, they are like crack


Input: [Date] 5 years 15 weeks ago [Title] oops, meant to say the comic [Body]

Output: oops, meant to say the comic book store on main st. i think its called vault of midnight or something like that. I have a son who has gotten me into japanese anime and my fiance's daughters love it also. We like bleach and naruto. So i guess im weird, a nerdy football loving girl. Im glad Johnny likes me the way I am :)


Input: [Date] 5 years 15 weeks ago [Title] go to mden, get early lunch [Body]

Output: go to mden, get early lunch on state street, coffee at starbucks, go to that cool comic book store on state, walk to stadium

Output: Just can't stand the way he looks with his flashy fur coats.


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Title] i let a few curses slip , im not a saint [Body]

Output: like bullshit!!!! at the lack of calls. like the obvious facemask i saw and the ref didnt. but sometimes people use a curse as everyother word, it was just excessive


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Title] nice [Body]

Output: thats pretty funny!

Output: I was slamming the hills, i hate that shit


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Title] part two [Body]

Output: just felt the post was pretty lengthy already, but there was a mich. professor behind us. He was the biggest asshole ive ever had to be within earshot of. He was making snide remarks about women and gay people and wanting to beat the shit out of the male baton twirler and blah blah blah.... i think he was just in love with the sound of his own voice. I couldnt believe he was a professor! So unprofessional!


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Title] not nice [Body]

Output: my friend's daughter was born with down syndrome, shes very cute and sweet. be careful what you rip on. you could father a child with a birth defect.


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Title] redirection [Body]

Output: when i previously worked at a day care center, I saw children get so excited about something that they made bad choices. For example, wet their pants when they want a cookie too badly. I would take this excitement and make them sit,calm down and paint an awesome picture for their Mom and Dad. In relation to this story... i saw alot of immature sickening behavior after this game. Redirect your anger and go pump some iron real hard, or donate more blood to beat the osu fans in that contest. Point is...do something positive, rather than stoop to neanderthal instincts. It will make us Michigan fans look alot classier.


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Title] i went to google [Body]

Output: type in wall decals, and click around for sports categories, i came across a really sweet huge mural of what at first looked to be the u of m stadium. I was really excited because, the view of a packed stadium when i first walk thru the tunnel is a sight that makes me quite happy. and i thought this would be an awesome thing to do for my fiancee in the basement of our first home together, it would make it look as though you are always at the stadium. but to my dismay, the mural decal was of lsu vs arizona state. but i will keep looking around, let me know if you see anything cool also. and you may be able to get something custom made too!


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Title] i feel ya [Body]

Output: Im really sorry u arent able to go to mich. that stings, i too am aspiring to go there. i am changing careers and hope to finish nursing school there. Its so sad that tuition is so high. I love ann arbor but most likel will be lucky to get into and afford u of m flint. keep your chin up, maybe someday when you are more established you can get a higher degree there. thats what im hoping for. i dont quite know the meaning of walmart wolverine, if thats where you buy your mich t-shirts... so the f what!!!? i have some form there and some from mden, and I love them all.


Input: [Date] 5 years 36 weeks ago [Title] My fiancee is the original [Body]

Output: My fiancee is the original poster. I've always enjoyed football but didn't quite understand all the specifics. it's nice to have someone patiently explain the details of plays. Its made me enjoy the game much more. I didnt know he was such a fan and almost instinctively as the first gift i ever bought him was a michigan hat for valentines day. Now game day is like a religious holiday to us. We love to go to a2 and walk around, shop at Mden, get a beer. Cheer like maniacs at the game and drive home listening to the recap on the radio. its like a mini vacation, something special that the two of us have really bonded over. I think i own more uofm items than him now, and also named my new puppy "Maizey" Its also become a weird kind of Pavlovian thing for me. Gameday=horny. So guys, if you want her to become a fan, do like my guy did and make game a happy event. I cant wait to marry my best friend at our special place.... The Big House!!!!


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Body] what he did as a player is among the all-time greats. If you want to hold him accountable for his actions as a manager and say he can never be associated with baseball again that's fine and I agree with it, but what he did as a player? There is no question. [Title]

Output: Neg away


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Every baseball commissioner who has kept the all-time hit king out of the hall of fame for something he did as a manager. Players who have cheated while playing the game are in and he is not, that is a travesty. [Title]

Output: Pete Rose


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Body] having lived on the west coast for a total of four football seasons, I can say definitively that I would not make sure I was awake and in front of my television for a noon eastern kickoff unless Michigan was playing. if they were I was pregaming by seven and if not I might catch the second half of a game that looked interesting. [Title]

Output: lived on the west coast

Input: [Date] 31 weeks 2 days ago [Body] the way the weather forecast works as far as % chance of rain works is as follows: if there is any chance (in this case 80%) the percentage reflects the amount of the forecast area will receive rain therefore if it's 80% chance it means that there is a 100% chance of rain occurring but only 80% chance it will happen where you are...much like it's a 100% chance that Jim harbaugh will coach next year but currently will only coach 80% of Michigan's games [Title]

Output: how % chance of rain works


Input: [Date] 36 weeks 6 days ago [Body] everything that was said in the article was referenced either from witness statements from people that were of relation to the alleged victim or from a view of he is guilty. I am with the majority as it relates to his standing if he is guilty but before we go any further can we wait for some kind of evidence beyond a local newspaper report before we convict this young man. [Title]

Output: rusty nail


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I really like the idea of this thread and was considering starting one myself but had the same worries as the OP. I grew up in Southwest Michigan on the Indiana border closer to South Bend than any school in Michigan. We had a lot of fans of ND which made the rivalry significant growing up along with the fact that Michigan was at its peak of success in my lifetime and ND wasn't that far removed from their own recent success in 1988. I grew up watching the great battles with Desmond and the Rocket providing great early season fireworks and the ND hype of will Ron Paulus (spelling) and will he be the first three time Hiesman winner. Now having been away from Michigan for what is essentially my entire adult life galvanizing my Michigan loyalty and fandom I think it really sucks that we are going to not have this game anymore. I am about to make the four hour drive from my house in Georgia to my childhood best friends house in South Carolina and we will see the last chapter in this rivalry and have these moments solidifying the fact that ND is the worst neighbor in the history of neighbors and know that our win will be a nice final twist of the knife in their jealousy of why we are better. [Title]

Output: The rivalry from SW Michigan


Input: [Date] 49 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I was 24 years old and had already spent multiple years of my life overseas in defense of our country and still managed to make mistakes that I would probably be burned at the stake for on this board if I played football for Michigan. If it weren't for people that saw potential in me I know I wouldn't be where I am today in life. While his next chance is not going to be at Michigan, I hope this young man the best and hope he learns from his mistakes and can use it for good, much like Billy Taylor was able to rebound. [Title]

Output: maturity sometimes comes with maturity

I also have incorporated seasoned salt balance some of the sweet from the honey and a friend of mine incorporates apple juice into his sauce (primarily for chicken). [Title]

Output: Some more ideas

Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] If rankings mattered we wouldn't give scholorships to long snappers. Thinking that every highly ranked recruit will pan out is crazy and with what we have left on the board at OL it might end up at three star level. [Title]

Output: Who cares?


Input: [Date] 2 years 9 weeks ago [Body] With how long it takes to develop offensive linemen I think it is imperative to pick up one more even if he is the three star type deapth player. You can more regularly find immediate impact players at skill positions but in the trenches development is almost always necessary. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] I was at the end of the transition when the Fab 5 made it popular but it hadnt yet made it mainstream and I agree. Aside from that from an athletic point of view the short shorts are much more functional and user friendly....plus the ladies like it [Title]

Output: Get off my lawn agrees


Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] started with fuzzy navels this afternoon when i got up and have been following it with expired baileys irish cream. next on the list will be cleaning out some rum [Title]

Output: cleaning out the liquor cabinet


Input: [Date] 2 years 30 weeks ago [Body] How about a North-South alignment with either Nebraska, Ohio, or Penn State going to the North for competitive balance. My choice would be Ohio but you could work with any of them and have decent geographic alignment while also keeping many traditional rivalries, The biggest down side I can see is both Michigan and Ohio not having regular games in the added markets. Also, for competitive balance you could move Northwestern or Iowa for one weaker schools in the south. North South Michigan Penn State Michigan State Nebraska Northwestern Illinois Wisconsin Indiana Minnesota Purdue Iowa Rutgers Ohio Maryland [Title]

Output: North-South

Input: [Date] 2 years 39 weeks ago [Body] I am not sure how silent it is due to consistent up votes to the 5 limit, but let me say that I applaud you for the way you have handled this situation to this point and believe you were completely justified and on the right track with how you chose to hanlde it. For the sake of people like me who primarily read and don't post thanks and keep up the good work. [Title]

Output: Silent majority


Input: [Date] 4 days 1 hour ago [Body] I watched quite a few games last year on "spider cam." Not having the announcers actually made many games bearable that otherwise would not have been. I highly recommend it, whether you have cable or not. [Title]

Output: I watched quite a few games


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Body] Interesting to me he's so down on Kugler. The fact that Cole ran with the ones during Glasgow's suspension doesn't really mean much IMO. Cole will play left tackle, and Glasgow has positional flexibility. Kugler has looked pretty good to my eyes, minus getting blown up once or twice against Willie Henry. If Kugler can be decent at center, that opens up a lot of possibilities and adds some insurance if one of the other guys (probably Braden) struggles, or, knock on wood, injuries/suspensions happen. [Title]

Output: Interesting to me he's so


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] The race for the podium spots are going to be interesting, well for this at least (Quintana probably had second locked up). Lots of guys right around each other on time and about the same level. [Title]

Output: The race for the podium spots


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] Yeah, he and BMC have both publicly stated that the podium is the goal, not winning. I think they know tejay just doesn't have the firepower to beat the very best guys, especially with no long ITT this year. He also doesn't have a strong enough team to go on the offensive and he's too close on time for the leaders to let him get away on a solo attack. [Title]

Output: Yeah, he and BMC have both


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] As much as we love tough guys, I wish cycling backs off the continue at all costs culture a little. There's no way a guy who bonked his head off a telephone pole like that should be allowed to continue descending mountain roads at 60mph without getting checked out first. Thomas ended up being fine, but Chris Horner, for example finished a whole stage a few years back without knowing where he was. [Title]

Output: As much as we love tough


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] They scream doping for every tour winner. All too easy to assume cheating when your guy isn't winning, given cycling's history. [Title]

Output: They scream doping for every


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] Favors tejay as far as not getting dropped. No way he rides anyone off his wheel doing steady tempo though. Froome and the sky train are also good at riding tempo on steady inclines. The only real chance anyone has is attacking them on the steeps and there just aren't that many kms above 10% left to go. Most of the guys behind him will probably be looking to protect their positions and fighting for a podium spot instead of really working together to crack Froome and sky from here on out. Hope I'm wrong, but that's been how tours with one dominant rider/team have gone done for years now. [Title]

Output: Favors tejay as far as not


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Body] Nope, his problem is he's trying to do the Giro, Tour double and is virtually impossible to peak for both. He was just as dominant for the Giro. Hell, he even looked pretty good last tour despite doing the giro, before he crashed out. [Title]

Output: Nope, his problem is he's


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Body] At least it's not Dominos, amirite? [Title]
