Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] I was in the same situation after my first year. I thought law school would be interesting and make me a more well-rounded person for whatever job I decided to pursue, and I was hoping to do something in the public interest sector. However, I seriously considered leaving. Among other reasons, I hated focusing on the academic side 24/7. I decided to give the second year a try, but I wanted to try something different - doing something I liked. I volunteered at a legal aid office, got involved in some of the school organizations, and joined one of the school's legal clinics. It made my experience a lot better because I found that I actually cared about what I was doing. So if you want any advice, I would say tough out that first year, and then think about what initially interested you in law school. From there, pursue activities, organizations, and opportunities that relate to those initial reasons for going. [Title]

Output: I was in the same situation


Input: [Date] 4 years 29 weeks ago [Body] I wasn't thrilled when Brady Hoke was hired, especially with all the big names being thrown around. I found that I was extremely frustrated, however, when reading reactions from the traditional media outlets and former players. It is great that these two factions are now once again "all in" for Michigan, but where were they during the RichRod era? Why couldn't they give the same support? Now, Braylon Edwards and Michael Rosenberg are telling me that I am supposed to be excited about this hire and "all in" for the team. It's ridiculous. If the likes of Cato June and Aaron Shea really support Michigan, they should have done so through thick and thin, regardless of who the coach was. Yet, because it was not Michigan football the way they wanted it to be, they decide who they should support, and I am supposed to blindly follow. Whether alluded to or bluntly stated, I hear a lot of people saying that they want things back to the way they were with Coach Carr. It seems people remember what he did differently from me because I recall a 1-5 record against Tressel, a traditional Rose Bowl demolishing, and an inability to stop a running quarterback. I was excited Michigan decided to take a step in a new direction that would finally address these problems. I do not necessarily think RichRod was the right person for the job given the on-field results and the numerous player transfers, but I continue to wonder "what if" when it comes to the support he should have received from these two factions that were so opposed to him from Day 1. Maybe it would not have changed anything, but I would have liked to see what could have happened. I want to support this hire, and I will in time, but everytime I see another former player or reporter telling me how much I should like this decision, I have a harder time doing so. [Title]

Output: I am bitter


Input: [Date] 4 years 33 weeks ago [Body] I don't think you are really remembering the main issue us "idiots" had. Most of the outrage was over the lack of communication between the coaching staff and the admissions staff. The issue I and many others seemed to have was that he was cleared to receive a LOI by more than just the coaching staff. Then in June he found out he was not going to be accepted here based on an admissions decision. http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/dorsey-letter#comment-507503 I understand now just how bad his grades were, but I still think letting a student know he cannot attend a school 3 months before the start of the semester is poor form. [Title]

Output: Rewriting history


Input: [Date] 4 years 37 weeks ago [Body] For me, it is the first Michigan loss I can remember - vs. Colorado in 1994. It was the first time I ever cried after a loss. After the game, my dad took me to the park to blow off some steam. As we were leaving the parking lot, some kid had left his bike behind our car, and we ran it over as we were backing out. I was able to keep it together as the kid was crying, but I felt bad for both my dad and the kid. [Title]

Output: For me, it is the first


Input: [Date] 5 years 5 weeks ago [Body] When you talk about Dwayne Wade being an automatic plug-in over Rip, do you mean over the long-term or during our championship season? If it is over the long-term, then I do not disagree, but for the 2003-2004 season: Richard Hamilton - 35.5 MPG, 17.6 ppg, 4.0 assists, 3.6 rpg, 1.6 steals, 2.6 TO Dwayne Wade - 34.9 MPG, 16.2 ppg, 4.5 assists, 4 rpg, 1.4 steals, 3.2 TO Throw in the fact that Rip's offensive game wore down the other team's SG or SF, and I do not think Wade is a tier above for that season. Also, what made the Pistons a unique championship team is that they really lacked a superstar. They played basketball as a team and focused on defense. A rookie like Carmelo or Bosh would be talented, but from a chemistry standpoint, it could screw up the entire team (e.g. Carmelo complaining that Larry Brown was too hard on him, wanting more minutes, etc.). [Title]

Output: Confused


Input: [Date] 5 years 6 weeks ago [Body] ...did the athletic department offer your cousin a scholarship to play football here? Did your cousin sign a LOI to attend and play for Michigan? I hope you can recognize that Demar Dorsey went further than simply having a desire to play football for us, and if his academic status was different, he would be. [Title]

Output: That depends...


Input: [Date] 5 years 8 weeks ago [Body] While I appreciate your attempt to give us perspective on this, you seem to be missing the main point. The frustration/disappointment/other negative feeling many of us have for our university right now almost entirely is based on how this situation has been handled. We made him an offer, he accepted and qualified, and now we might not be letting him in. Not only that, but we are keeping him in the dark about what his current status is. Sure we want to see him on the football field this fall, but if this were any other student, and not an athlete, I would feel just as bad for him/her. I just haven't learned of the University handling any other student's enrollment like this. I find no hypocrisy in a position that wants the University to fulfill its end of the bargain, after Dorsey fulfilled his. If we allow Dorsey in, we will still be a strong academic institution. One student-athlete, deserving of a second chance, does not change that. [Title]

Output: While I appreciate your


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Good luck Max. I hope he does [Body]

Output: Good luck Max. I hope he does well, but when he plays Michigan, I hope he plays relatively poorly. He's played for us for 4 years and did his time. Thanks Max.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Thank you so much for your [Body]

Output: Thank you so much for your service. And thank your brothers for their service. Thanks for sharing the article with us. It helps give me a small, small taste of what it was like for you and others who fight for us. Have a great Memorial Day and I hope things keep going well for you and your brothers in life after Afghanistan.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 1 day ago [Title] At Sapori Trattoria, an [Body]

Output: At Sapori Trattoria, an Italian restaurant in Lakeview Chicago. It's a delicious place. Was on a date and convinced my date to watch the comeback at the little bar there. Bartender was a Kansas fan. I remember telling him I was skeptical we could come back down 10, but he said he wasn't confident with any Kansas lead. He was right. I watched overtime on the screen over my dates shoulder. It was a wonderful night.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Or maybe he decided the sure [Body]

Output: Or maybe he decided the sure thing was better than holding a spot open for Brown. There's a difference between recruiting Brown, a theoretical one and done, and passing on talented players at the risk of coming up empty with Brown. If they locked Brown down earlier, he would have taken the spot. Just because a player is a 5 star talent-aka one and done-doesn't mean you pass on other possibilities out there. He recruited both Brown and Wagner with hopes of getting or or both, depending on how the situation plays out. We have one, Wagner. Beilein went outside his typecast mold by recruiting Brown, but made a judgment call to take Wagner. Probably for good reason.


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 5 days ago [Title] When you're rookie of the [Body]

Output: When you're rookie of the year and then follow that up with two back to back all star seasons, with one season being an MVP season, one can see how he could be arrogant. But I guess his humility, combined with his trying childhood home environment make him an easy target for fan ridicule. Sorry his knees aren't holding up. I'm sure he loves the fact that his knees can't hold up in the last couple seasons.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Thank you Brady Hoke. Your [Body]

Output: Thank you Brady Hoke. Your commitment and dedication to the University and the players has been unparalleled. I thank you for your time and shouldering the burden of leading this Team for the last four years. Lord knows it was not easy. I wish you the best going forward. Good luck with all your endeavors.

Output: Great story. Thanks for sharing. Rooting for him even more.


Input: [Date] 45 weeks 5 days ago [Title] WOOHOO! [Body]

Output: Congrats for Glenn. Great news! Hope he kicks ass, has a fun time, and makes Michigan proud.


Input: [Date] 52 weeks 13 hours ago [Title] It will be interesting to see [Body]

Output: It will be interesting to see if Michigan coaches use Bunting this year as a purely pass catching TE. At 6'7, it would seem he might be useful on third downs. Given his experience at WR, Michigan could flank him out and use him as a big target. Then again, we have a lot more pass catching options than before. Then again, he is 6'7.


Input: [Date] 1 year 6 days ago [Title] Couple things [Body]

Output: Does he know that Thomas Gordon was Michigan's other starting safety last season (or at least started most of the games)? Also, he conveniently forgets that Wilson was dropped in and out of the S lineup just as much as any of the other starters at S. That being said, I think we can be excited about Wilson too. He has improved each year and hopefully will put together an impressive season as an upperclassman. Also, I am not fully buying the Lewis supplanting Countess hype until we see more from Lewis in fall. Both Taylor and Countess have really good speed and, although smaller, are impressive athletes. I am slightly confused as to questioning their athleticism. Any attacks over the top had to do more with them getting beat on WR routes or moves, play calls, or just height issues rather than just any old WR with decent speed blowing right past them. Additionally, Countess rarely got beat during the season. It wasn't until Locket served him (and the other corners) up on a platter in the bowl game that we could say someone was blowing past Countess. Okay article and Nick generally does a solid job, but seems more like off-season speculation than anything particularly insightful.


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Title] Gotcha. Yeah Randle is a [Body]

Output: Gotcha. Yeah Randle is a ridiculous player and athletic specimen. He was definitely bulling his way right to the basket. Going right through GRIII or around any of our bigger players we tried to match up with him.


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Title] Agree with mostly everything [Body]

Output: Agree with mostly everything you said, but in regards to the UK game, so much of being bullied by them was an inability to keep their perimeter players in front of us on the defensive end. When UK's perimeter players blew past our defenders that requires Morgan or someone else to come over and defend. That allowed several UK forwards to have wide open dunk or put back attempts as the person guarding them was forced to rotate. It was a problem all year long. Hopefully defensive improvements from Caris, Irvin, and Walton on the perimeter will help keep more of the opposing team's perimeter players in front of them. That would help mitigate the defensive drop-off at the position. However, as you are apt to point out, Morgan was running the defense from his position, which Donnal will probably not be able to do this year. Might make it tougher for Caris, Irvin, and Walton to handle switches and the like. I guess we will see how it plays out. Morgan is a major loss. Hopefully Donnal can fill the void.


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Title] Although, to be fair, doesn't [Body]

Output: Although, to be fair, doesn't ESPN have the most accurate rankings and evaluations for basketball?

Output: You can tell Jake Ryan has spent a lot of time under Hoke's tutelage.


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Title] No problem amigo. Good luck [Body]

Output: No problem amigo. Good luck with the transition. I hope it goes well and you get to do some cool stuff.


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Title] Sorry, figured I would change [Body]

Output: Sorry, figured I would change it myself. Didn't think you would be on the mistake so quickly. And I concur. It would be cool to be able to keep tabs on fellow Michigan alums and what they are doing in the Metro Detroit area. Hopefully, it is something we will continue to see grow.


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Title] Oops. Forgot to make the link [Body]

Output: Oops. Forgot to make the link accessible. Try this: http://www.lsa.umich.edu/lsa/ci.indetroitlsaisonthemap_ci.detail

Output: Tried that. Doesn't work.


Input: [Date] 1 year 2 weeks ago [Title] Functionally, I think Isaac [Body]

Output: Functionally, I think Isaac is a 2014 recruit at this point if he gets the RS. Nonetheless, probably means we are only taking 1 RB in this class, which is fine.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] Irving? I believe he is [Body]

Output: Irving? I believe he is already on the Cavs.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] As the other posters said, we [Body]

Output: As the other posters said, we have a better chance with Roseboro. Additionally, the coaches had Roseboro ticketed as a SDE from the get go but expected Cornell to be a WDE. Once Cornell started growing into more of a SDE, maybe that changed the coaches perspective on Cornell and his abilities. It's better to focus on a guy we have a chance with versus a guy who doesn't seem to interested anymore. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Roseboro plays FB/RB on his team too which would indicate he has decent athleticism and mobility. Plus, I am sure much of Roseboro's weight isn't good weight and he will shed plenty of pounds when he enters a college strengthening and conditioning program.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] Michigan's depth chart, when [Body]

Output: Michigan's depth chart, when Weber would step on campus, will (most likely) read: Junior: Green, Smith, Johnson Sophomore: Isaac and Douglas That's 5 RB's with no seniors. Granted, Michigan will probably only be taking one RB in this class whereas MSU seems to be taking two and MSU has several other RB's on it's roster too, so the numbers look relatively even. I would just hesitate to say that this development is what puts us over the top in winning the recruiting battle for Weber. It will most certainly help and might help lessen MSU's focus on Weber, but how Michigan continues to rebuild its relationship with Weber will be more important.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] I wouldn't say that's the [Body]

Output: I wouldn't say that's the most likely scenario. MSU landing Scott probably does help Michigan, but I think Michigan continuing to develop a relationship with Weber is more important. I think the effect of a school landing another recruit at the same position is overstated, depending on what the depth chart looks like and depending on whether the recruit has specifically expressed a desire to be the only recruit in his class. If we end up landing Weber, this is probably only a minor reason it happens. If Weber is feeling MSU, I wouldn't put it past him to commit there even though MSU already landed Scott.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] Shitty recruiting? [Body]

Output: Have you been following Hoke's recruiting? Patience. Hoke's first full recruiting class is just hitting maturation. We should see that bounce back year you are referring to.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] Slight correction: Devin [Body]

Output: Slight correction: Devin would have been a RS FR in 2011. Regardless, we played really well that year as you are correct to point out.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] As others have mentioned, it [Body]

Output: As others have mentioned, it seemed like we were losing a lot of ground on most of our QB recruits. There seemed to be a lot of general interest in the 2015 class but no one seemed like they wanted to jump on board. Do you think patience and some more targetted interest at some of the remaining targets would have led to success with another recruit? The DeWeaver offer is the one that seems too soon. He seems like he has a lot of potential but with a prospect that seems to still be developing, it would seem prudent to see how he continues to develop. Maybe the situation resembles Beilein with recruits where the coaches are looking at kids who are still developing and trying to project talent and physical skills a couple years down the road. Obviously basketball recruiting is very different. Magnus, has there been any word on whether the coaches have stopped recruiting other 2016 QB's? All the general recruiting evaluations seem to keep mentioning Costello, Henry, and a few others. Does the strategy seem lock DeWeaver down early so we have a QB in the 2016 class and then swing for the fences with a higher rated prospect who could come in and not need to RS? Then we could RS DeWeaver and give him more time to develop. Just a thought.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] Seth, so sorry to hear this. [Body]

Output: Seth, so sorry to hear this. You and your family have my thoughts and condolences.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] Additionally [Body]

Output: He also struggled a lot in pass coverage, particularly covering TE's. I cannot remember where I was reading it, but someone in the Michigan blogosphere was writing about how offenses learned to take advantage of Ross' aggressiveness. Building on his experience from last season, hopefully he can make fewer mistakes, make a few more big plays, and continue making the necessary and boring plays that he does.


Input: [Date] 1 year 3 weeks ago [Title] Everybody. But seriously, [Body]

Output: Everybody. But seriously, probably Henry, Lewis, Wilson, Magnuson, and Glasgow. Any of Ross, RJS, or Bolden could too. It will be interesting to see how Pipkins, Darboh, and Butt come back from injury. With the 2012 recruiting class finally becoming upperclassmen, we could see a lot. Going to be interesting.


Input: [Date] 2 hours 7 min ago [Body] You are essentially saying that using high draft picks on what end up to be relievers is a great way to build a bullpen. If Dombrowski's only job was to build a bullpen, then that would be an awesome plan. It isn't though, which is why it is a pretty dumb plan. [Title]

Output: You are essentially saying


Input: [Date] 2 hours 11 min ago [Body] So you wanted DD to turn Andrew Miller into bullpen help instead of trading him to get Miggy? Because that's what KC did with their highly drafted pitcher. Building a bullpen out of failed high draft picks is Pretty fucking dumb [Title]

Output: So you wanted DD to turn


Input: [Date] 6 hours 50 min ago [Body] There is someone who trolls the RCMB called Nucky and everyone always says to ignore them. I don't even remember bringing that up and I'm kinda creeped out that you remember I did, but if I did, that is the reason. As I said, I don't give a fuck about joining a rival team's website simply to troll them. And please leave the board. No one cares if you think there is intellectual dishonesty and no one cares if we make fun of MSU and OSU here. This is a Michigan board and it will be biased towards, are you ready for this, Michigan. Is it sometimes over the top? Yes. Do people go over the top in their criticism of Dantonio and Meyer? Sure. But I'm glad that you can set us straight! Ronnie to the rescue! This board is nowhere near bucknuts or RCMB, as much as the couple posts you point to every week make you think it is. I don't deny MSU's success, I just think it's funny to watch them get pissed off when you tell them they are irrelevant. They get offended about everything and have convinced themselves that Harbaugh won't win here and he isn't a good coach. They do this because they are very afraid. The smart Spartans aren't afraid because they know Dantonio is a good coach, but the dumber ones are terrified of Michigan actually hiring a coach who is a good fit. As I said, if you don't like shots at MSU or OSU, don't come here and have fun being a boring fan. But don't be fooled into thinking anyone here gives a shit that you think we are intellectually dishonest. [Title]

Output: There is someone who trolls


Input: [Date] 8 hours 19 min ago [Body] Don't you know? Ronnie is just out to balance out the argument for MSU. He is doing a public service by calling out people when they hate on MSU on, of all places, a Michigan website. He's a hero to us all. Without him, who would stand up for MSU and where would they go. Thank you Ronnie for getting off your high horse long enough to tell us when we are being unreasonable with regards to Dantonio and MSU. [Title]

Output: Don't you know? Ronnie is


Input: [Date] 8 hours 49 min ago [Body] First, no, I've never signed up at RCMB. I'm not sure why you think I did. I visit there every now and then because I like to laugh at them, but trolling another fanbase is something I don't care to do. Second, when this board's most popular thread by far is a thread about Michigan State, then you can say we are like the RCMB. Also, when we have a thread about homeless people smelling like urine and bump when your wife is a bitch, then we will be like the RCMB [Title]

Output: First, no, I've never signed


Input: [Date] 20 hours 3 min ago [Body] And still no one cares about them outside of east Lansing. Maybe if they stopped looking down on fans who didn't graduate from a college they'd have more of a following for their shitty football program [Title]

Output: And still no one cares about


Input: [Date] 20 hours 10 min ago [Body] Well of course we've had good players before Ed Martin. 30 years ago. My comment was in regards to recruiting and I shouldn't have said never. I should have said it will be 20 or 30 years of this before we can recruit like Duke and Kentucky. They are blue bloods and 6 years of good basketball doesn't change that. Why anyone thinks recruits care that we competed with Duke 40 years ago is beyond me. And the thing is, we have a good enough coach that we don't need to recruit like that. Our recruiting hasn't changed much since we went to the national championship and it doesn't need to. [Title]

Output: Well of course we've had good


Input: [Date] 22 hours 10 min ago [Body] I was responding to someone who said we were the dominant program before 2000. A large part of that was due to Ed Martin. We have plenty of history and I never suggested we didn't. That history means dick when we've been recently nationally relevant for all of 6 years and those national championship games you mentioned we went to happened before high schoolers were born. 6 years isn't going to turn the tides in recruiting against Duke and Kentucky and what's pathetic is acting like 2 big 10 titles and 1 final four in the past 25 years is going to change that [Title]

Output: I was responding to someone


Input: [Date] 1 day 1 hour ago [Body] I was talking about recruiting. Are you trying to ignore the reason we were the dominant program? We can't have it both ways. We either get another Ed Martin or miss out on top prospects. But you do being up a great point. To be a top program every year, you either have to recruit top talent (and likely recruit dirty) or have a great coach. Michigan is going to miss on a lot more top prospects than they get. Izzo has been one of the 3 or 4 most successful coaches in college basketball the past 15 years and he still regularly loses out on top talent. It happens. That is what I meant by us not being NC or Duke or Kentucky [Title]

Output: I was talking about


Input: [Date] 1 day 2 hours ago [Body] Supposed to be? Our starting 5 next year could be all 4 star guys with two top 50 players if we wanted it to. Then we've got another top 100 seven-footer to go along with a top 100ish big guy who is young and could re-classify. I can't wait until our fanbase realizes we will never be Kentucky or Duke or North Carolina or even MSU. We will get a couple highly rated guys every year and then pull in a top 50 guy or two and that will be our team. Then we get a Caris type player (or three of you count last year) who will play above their ranking and we will compete year in/year out. Last year was an outlier due to the injuries that happen to have happened just after we lost 5 guys early to the NBA in just two years. If losing out on highly ranked players is going to bother you, I beg you not to follow recruiting because it will happen every year. We will miss out on booker and Blackmon and get Chapman every year. I'm just glad Beilein's backup plans can shoot nearly 50% from three or go off for 18 against MSU or start and be the most effective center, all as true freshmen. [Title]

Output: Supposed to be? Our starting


Input: [Date] 1 day 4 hours ago [Body] I can neither confirm nor deny that the team will be staying at the Mariott City Center. I can confirm that I tried to reserve the presidential suite there and it was not available the entire week leading up to the game, which I'm assuming means someone important will be staying there. Wink. Wink. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 day 7 hours ago [Body] Unfortunately I'm still working on that. Last resort I have a couple houses rented a couple blocks from the stadium that I'll tailgate at, but I'm hoping the ridiculous amount of money I'm dropping to get married there the weekend after gets me an "in" for a tailgateing spot!

Input: [Date] 1 day 8 hours ago [Body] I'm responding to this so it will be towards the top of this thread. The Utah ticket deartment is selling ticket packages for $300 per package (or at least they were last week...I'm not sure if they're sold out). The package includes one ticket to the Michigan, Cal, Colorado, and UCLA games. If you don't want to spend $500 or $600 per ticket, this is a good way to get to the game for only $300. I'm getting married at Rice Eccles the Saturday after the Michigan game and have been working with their operations and ticket department to get myself and the rest of the people flying in early into the game. Unless you either get very lucky or want to pay double that amount, this is going to be your only way to get into the game. Scalping at the stadium, you will probably pay around $700 or $800, so my suggestion would be to get your tickets now or be ready to drop close to a grand. Good luck MgoTicket purchasers! [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 day 8 hours ago [Body] Just an FYI, I'm not sure if there are any left, but the Utah ticket department was selling a 4 game package for $300. It includes Michigan, Cal, Colorado, and UCLA. This is a good way to pay only $300 for a ticket and then you can sell the other 3 tickets to try and recoup some of the money. There will be 15 Michigan fans sitting above the Utah student section who will then be going to Trails after the game (one of the better strip clubs in Utah) for my future wife and I's bachelor/bachelorette party. We will also be tailgating before the game, so anyone is welcome to join in the festivities! [Title]

Output: Just an FYI, I'm not sure if


Input: [Date] 6 days 18 hours ago [Body] First off, 3 top 50 and a bunch of players outperforming their rankings is exactly what got us to the championship game and won the B10 by 3 games. I still haven't figured out why that seems to be a problem for you. Second, last year's team was one of the youngest in the country even before their two veterans were injured and this year's team will also be one of the youngest. Even if we hit on a top guy or two, we need guys to stay for 4 years in order to be good year in year out. We don't reload like Kentucky or duke so you might as well get used to it. We will continue to have a down year when we have 5 early entrants to the NBA in a two year span. I'm guessing beilein didn't plan on starting 3 true freshmen for most of last year [Title]

Output: First off, 3 top 50 and a


Input: [Date] 6 days 19 hours ago [Body] If we are going by star rankings (which is what I assume you were talking about when you said beilein can't get top tier guys), then yes, they are just as talented. Two guys that were borderline 5 star talent (Robinson-McGary and Irvin-Chatman), 1 guy that is a superstar who was underrated by the services (Burke and Caris) and another two top 100 guys (Stauskas-Hardaway and Wilson-Euro guy whose name I can never remember). Also you have Walton, another top 50 player as a starter next year. So that is your starting 5 that is pretty much the exact same star ranking. Add in all the true freshmen forced to start due to injury now becoming sophomores and your team is just as talented. It isn't rocket science. I didn't even mention Donnal, who was also a fringe top 100 guy. One could argue based on rankings, this team is better. And last year we almost had a .500 record in the B10 without our two best players. Everyone knows that not only do beilein teams get better as the season goes on, but so do true freshmen. Can you imagine what Wisconsin would have looked like without Kaminski and Hayes? How about MSU without Dawson and Trice? I bet they wouldn't have been .500 in the B10 either. I know they were 11-7 with both Walton and Caris. We also had freshmen and sophomores all over the lineup learning new roles (Irvin finding himself, Caris and Walton learning how to carry the team, etc...) But please, keep telling us how the coaching staff doesn't care about Michigan enough when they talk to highly ranked recruits [Title]

Output: If we are going by star


Input: [Date] 1 week 25 min ago [Body] This is just fucking ridiculous and an insult to our coaches. So your gut feeling is that when it comes to really talented basketball players, our coaches just lose their passion for Michigan, but for the under-the-radar guys they sell the shit out of Michigan? I was wrong, that's not ridiculous, it's downright stupid. See my post below. Just because we have missed on some plan A guys doesn't mean we are any farther away from the final four than we were a couple years ago. We are just as talented, if not more talented, than when we went to the championship game. Teske and Davis are both top 100 big men to go along with this kid, who will be a 4 star when everything is said and done. How is that moving farther away? [Title]

Output: This is just fucking


Input: [Date] 1 week 33 min ago [Body] New starters and no legitimate big man is why he has to create his own shot. The offense looked better when he was out because it was later in the year and freshmen were playing less like freshmen and Doyle got better at the pick and roll. He will move better without the ball when his teammates learn spacing better, which they should know more now that they aren't true freshmen. [Title]

Output: New starters and no


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 hour ago [Body] Only get under-the-radar types? Huh? Our starting 5 going into next season could be as highly ranked as the one that went to the final four. Especially at the wing? Huh? You mean like under-the-radar near 5 star wings Irvin and Chatman? How many top 50 players do you want on the team? I swear some people think we are Kentucky or Duke and then get pissed when we don't have 5 star talent coming off the bench. Our starting lineup next year could include 3 top 50 four star guard/wings (Walton, Irvin, Chatman) and two top 100ish big men (Wilson, the euro 3 point shooting big man, who could be top 50 if he were actually ranked). This doesn't include MAAR, Dawkins, Caris, and Doyle, or in other words, 3 freshman starters and a possible lottery pick that weren't as highly rated as all the other 4 and 5 star guys on the team. [Title]

Output: Only get under-the-radar


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 hour ago [Body] Didn't Caris average just under 4 assists a game before his injury? He averaged .2 assists per game less than Spike, who led the team. Yeah, what a ball hog [Title]

Output: Didn't Caris average just


Input: [Date] 1 week 8 hours ago [Body] Good lord some people are dicks. Complaining about what he did on the field because he didn't live up to their standards? He didn't trash the coaches or the school on the way out and what does he get? A big "fuck you" for having a good time on the football field and not returning a kick for a touchdown [Title]

Output: Good lord some people are


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] Name calling is the last resort when you know you're wrong. Good job. Now tell us all how correct the Freep was and how they didn't have an axe to grind. [Title]

Output: Name calling is the last


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] When you look at an upset, you also have to look at the team that is being upset, not just the upsetter. The reason Harbaugh's Stanford upset of USC was one of the best of all time was not just because USC was really good that year, it was also because Stanford was awful. USC had a 35 game home winning streak and Stanford was coming off a 1-11 season. The team that lost to that amazing FCS dynasty had NFL draft picks all over the roster, including 4 year starters at QB and RB to go along with 2 high draft picks at WR and possibly the best offensive lineman to come through Michigan. The team that lost to Toledo had the same record as them and was not a good football team. The Appy State loss will go down as one of the greatest upsets in college football history and the Toledo game will be remembered by no one other than RichRod haters [Title]

Output: When you look at an upset,


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] In other words, yes, you're right and the Freep was on a witch hunt. At least act like you said something dumb and realize it was ridiculous. [Title]

Output: In other words, yes, you're


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] Did you actually watch the talent on that team? Yes, Lloyd did leave the cupboard that damn bare, even simply from a numbers standpoint as a large chunk of his recruiting classes were not on the team before RichRod even got here. Go read decimated defense and let me know how stocked the cupboard was [Title]

Output: Did you actually watch the


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] And the RichRod haters still somehow believing he just forgot how to coach his 3 years here. And your analogy is shit because you implied the Freep wasn't on a witch hunt. You don't need to be part of "The Faithful" to realize they were on a witch hunt and greatly exaggerated everything in their piece [Title]

Output: And the RichRod haters still


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Body] It's amazing with his inability to adapt that he's been able to be extremely successful everywhere he's coached other than Michigan. I can't believe he forgot how to coach his three years here. Also, the fact you mentioned adapting his offense and didn't mention that he got an offense that returned one starter and the whole decimated defense tells me you might have a bit of a bias [Title]

Output: It's amazing with his


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Body] Ah, the midget WR talk that is ridiculous in nature and a pretty stupid point. Considering his first full recruiting class got to be redshirt sophomores and true juniors, I'm not sure how you can say he left Hoke with anything less than a question mark. It is kinda weird to think Hoke got to coach Lloyd's redshirt senior class though [Title]

Output: Ah, the midget WR talk that


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Body] First of all Andrew Luck is a REDSHIRT SOPHOMORE. But anyway, on to your question. I can't speak for others that want Harbaugh, but I think your question raises an important point. Some say that people only want Harbaugh because he went to UM, but as you say, people weren't clamoring for him before now. As for me (a person who wants JH to replace RR), I supported RR from day one. I liked the hire and was excited about it. I thought at the time it was too soon to hire Harbaugh. After Stanford had a decent run last year and we had a losing record again, I still supported RR and was willing to give him another year. I also knew that if JH kept it up and RR kept losing, I was going to want him to coach here. Then after this year, when Harbaugh lost his Heisman Trophy runner-up RB and yet improved his team's record to 11-1, while our team got either pasted or beat handily by the top half of the Big Ten, I knew it was time for a change. Harbaugh has proven himself now and has done enough to earn the coaching position at Michigan. If we hired him three years ago, I honestly think we would be in much, much better shape than we are in now, but he hadn't done enough at the time. We didn't know he was this good of a coach. Now we do and it's time for him to come home. [Title]

Output: First of all Andrew Luck is a


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Can it not be true that we both needed a transition and that RR is not the right person? What have you seen to be convinced that we are going to be dominant in recruiting? What have you seen that suggests we are going to contend for national championships? I think you really just assume this stuff but after watching our team for 12 games, we don't seem close to competing for a top 3 finish in the Big Ten, let alone a MNC. We definitely aren't burning up the recruiting trail. I agree we needed some sort of change but that doesn't mean we chose the right guy to do it. [Title]

Output: Can it not be true that we


Input: [Date] 4 years 35 weeks ago [Body] But his thread title stated that Wojo was "at it again," presumably meaning he was again suggesting Rod should be fired. I think that is the part with which the second poster was taking umbrage. Even the most ardent supporter of RR can no longer say that people calling for his ouster are out of line. [Title]

Output: But his thread title stated


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] I think that is what is so distressing--the "had the offense started earlier" excuse can be applied to 3 of our 4 losses (our offense against MSU never really came around). One or two slow starts is expected but three starts to seem like a pattern, We can debate the reasons until we are blue in the face but the fact remains that when we needed our offense to keep pace with the other teams', it didn't. [Title]

Output: I think that is what is so


Input: [Date] 4 years 36 weeks ago [Body] we are supposed to celebrate this? you only need to win 50% of your games to make a bowl. you have to basically try not to make a bowl. [Title]

Output: Just read that


Input: [Date] 5 years 14 weeks ago [Body] There is no way OSU wouldn't automatically be on our schedule. That's only 3 conference games in your division, so there are 5 others to be filled. I'd guess there would be one locked-in opponent for us and the other 4 would rotate. Not sure how it would work logistically, but I see no way that the B10 would ever do away with UM/OSU on an annual basis [Title]

Output: That wouldn't be the case

There is a different feeling in there when the sky is pitch black. Maybe it was because of how they finished, but the walk back to campus in the dark after thrilling OT victories over PSU and MSU were amazing. Really hope that this is true. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 years 20 weeks ago [Body] If you want to indulge, then go to Sona and get the tasting menu. The chef is David Myers and he is amazing. I have only been once, but it was by far the best (and most expensive) meal I have ever had. It is on La Cienega just north of Beverly Blvd and you will not be disappointed. Other Favorites: --Umami Burger (few different locations in Hollywood. quite possibly the best burger in town, if not the hippest) --Lucques does a sunday night tasting menu called "Sunday supper" which is $45 a person. It's a different menu each week and is a pretty good deal for high-end gourmet food that tastes great. Check their website midweek for a0 --Il Pastaio--Beverly Hills staple that just makes damn good Italian food. The risotto nero (squid-ink) looks like a pile of rice with motor oil on it, but it one my favorite dishes in town. [Title]

I had a membership to a gym on Eisenhower and State my senior year and Ralph had one there too. Let's just say that he was not a fan of wearing anything but super tight, hiked up spandex when he worked out and I saw a lot more of Ralph Williams than I ever wanted to.

Input: [Date] 5 years 26 weeks ago [Body] Love the suggestions everyone. Anyone have any suggestions on books about Post-Communist Russia? I'm fascinated with it, especially after Scott Anderson's article in GQ: http://www.kavkazcenter.com/eng/content/2009/09/06/10979.shtml For those that are haven't heard about it, Anderson wrote this piece on the FSB apartment bombings that took place around the turn of the Century. The reason that I didn't provide a GQ link is because you can't find it on their website. They ran the article, but tried every way possible to bury it. Here's an NPR article on why Conde Nast buried it and tried to make sure it wasn't read in Russia: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112530364 It's fascinating stuff and Anderson's investigative article is amazing.

Input: [Date] 9 weeks 5 days ago [Body] cut it out man, his arguement is valid it's just that you are being stubborn. Paractice and training for football are not some for of currency. their education is better than free. The players are in a sort of apprenticeship during which they are compensated with housing, food. and some spending money. And after the school invests in them for a few years these kids are taking what they have learned and giving it to opponents. I think in most cases this stinks, and I agree with wolvinla [Title]

I feel like elite means you're still chasing a natty in october, and I don't believe MSU has ever really been a contender like that.

Input: [Date] 1 year 35 weeks ago [Title] Sorry, you are correct. 26 is [Body]

Output: Sorry, you are correct. 26 is the farthest section over and the band sits at the bottom of 27/28. My apologies.

Output: Put up storm shutters around the heart of your fandom. This one's gonna be rough!


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] Fair enough. It is another [Body]

Output: Fair enough. It is another perspective. My only contention is plays occuring on the other end of the field were difficult for me to judge the yardage gained. I also had seats in the endzone, but that was before the MEGA screens went in, so that might alleviate some of my issue.


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] Section 26 fills up fastest [Body]

Output: Section 26 fills up fastest becuase the band takes up the first 30 rows or so. Anymore the bottom of sections 28-32 fill up first as those are generally the section to get face time on TV and where the players will rush to at the end of the game. I sit in section 25 because I believe that has the best sight lines as you are closer to mid-field. I'll be in the stands only because I cannot get a decent amount for my tickets.


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] I love the neapolitan style [Body]

Output: I love the neapolitan style pizzas. For that, Mani's takes it in taste over the cheaper options in the area. They weren't focused on cost, it was all about how good the food actually is. I eat at Mani's at least once a month for the pizza only. I am always full eating less than a pizza. It is the size of a medium pizza from anywhere else. If you want any type of pizza other than neapolitan style, don't eat at Mani's. Neo Papalis is also along the same lines, but with a cheaper price point and almost no wait. They aren't cheap either if you start adding toppings on above their standard template. 3 toppings at NP will result in a pizza as costly as Mani's... Everyone's tastes are different. Your mileage may vary.


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] This. I didn't see a RB try [Body]

Output: This. I didn't see a RB try to juke air in the back field once last game. I am really hoping that the coaches are just doing the typical coach-speak about the RB situation being a 3 person race with Fitz in it. I haven't seen anything from Fitz all season that really stands out as being a go-to RB. The Green run around the edge and trucking that DB was the most exciting run from a RB all year. How sad is that?


Input: [Date] 1 year 36 weeks ago [Title] You will not have to go 2-3 [Body]

Output: You will not have to go 2-3 hours before kick off to get a good seat. I strolled in 30 minutes before kick off for Nebraska and was in row 8. Students are trying like hell to sell their tickets on CL. There are a ton of tickets flooding the market right now. Regardless of the game this week, the earliest you would need to arrive to get within the bottom 10 rows would be 1 hour before, at best. ND was the only game that I had to line up 3 hours early for and was still in row 15.


Input: [Date] 1 year 37 weeks ago [Title] This. I also booed for the [Body]

Output: This. I also booed for the first time against Nebraska. After seeing the playing calling in OT at Penn State, then MSU and Nebraska...I booed. I turned up to the box which has the block M where Borges sits and booed until I had some sort of mild statisfaction which should have been received from a good play.


Input: [Date] 1 year 37 weeks ago [Title] Had Kerridge actually hit [Body]

Output: Had Kerridge actually hit that block we wouldn't be talking about this, certainly. The play looks like it is meant to go outside of the tackle and still could have seen a decent gain had Gardner not tripped trying to read the crashing corner. Instead he tripped and fell towards the line instead of being able to run to the edge where most of the D-line and LB's were sealed. On the other hand, the point about never optioning someone is completely valid here. The scheme doesn't make sense, but could have avoided a crappy ending with better execution. [/Hoke speak]

Output: Yeah, I don't know where you are seeing those ticket prices, but I just went on to mgoblue and could get tickets below the red line for $25....$35 for tickets behind the benches at the faceoff circle and $43 for mid ice.....


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] You are correct. That is the [Body]

Output: You are correct. That is the only consistent song I can recall repeatedly played for 3rd down attempts. They will mix in seven nation army into a few third downs. The fans tend to be louder when seven nation army is played so that may come during 3rd down plays which might be foreseen to be big in terms of timing in the game.


Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Title] Huh? As of yesterday you [Body]

Output: Huh? As of yesterday you could get tickets for $25 for BC plus a free ticket for the NDT..

Output: I too hope this. I think it looks like a big slap in the face to have the 8:00pm time slow against a team which you should beat soundly. I think every "expert" will have UofM on upset alert after last week and ABS/ESPN is trying to rack in the viewer numbers due to it. With how UofM should play and the quality of oppponent this game should be a 3:30 start on ESPN2 or BTN....


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] This..So much This. The [Body]

Output: This..So much This. The tickets that weren't sold and seats that were obviously empty were the single game tickets which are no above the student section. Those seats were empty all game. You either need to have the entire stadium filled with season ticket holders or a schedule without any cupcakes to ensure the insatiable appetite for UofM football never outlives the supply of tickets. This week, that appetite resembled an aenorexic chick.

Output: All you people complaining about the student section need to look at the now public section above the students. It was empty the entire game not just before kick off. Brandon couldn't even sell all of the tickets available because no one wanted to pay to watch that team. Dynamic ticket pricing needs to go both ways.

Input: [Date] 3 days 13 hours ago [Body] I understand the whole no spiritual crap, but I do have to make one comment. If you don't believe in Christianity or what it's founded on, that's your deal and that's fine. But your comment tells me you completely misinterpret the reasoning behind the "mission." The act of "converting" someone to Christianity is a completely selfless act of service that is only attempted because of a general care for people; it has everything to do with the belief of what happens to those who don't follow Christianity - an act of love for people. And the "medical missions" are done for people regardless if they convert or not - it is not a requirement to sign on the dotted line seal it with blood in order to receive care. It is an act of service, again because of a care for the well being of others. There are bad apples in every social/spiritual group (even among Michigan fans), so don't assume every Christian or Christian act of service is littered in selfishness. Again, I respect your beliefs or lack of Christian belief, but you don't have to be a Christian to appreciate what Tebow did there in Indonesia. Mods, I apologize for the addition to the "no religion" policy. But I ask if you remove my comment then please remove his as well. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 9 hours ago [Body] In my personal opinion, we can think what we want to think and judge past performance to come up with an answer, but with this coaching staff it is a completely new ball game. I don't think there's any way to have a clue as to who will start in the fall. Completely new coaching staff. New offensive to learn. And what I'm assuming is a lot more teaching to be had. Any one of these guys could all of a sudden "get it" and end up the starter. Last years performances may have had more to do with the coaching than the talent, and I think we will figure that all out once we see who is on top and how they perform. This is the cop out answer if anyone wants to join me. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I personally feel that if anyone has an opinion to make on a player on the board (who isn't paid to contribute) it's probably you mostly because you are a professional evaluator. It's just this attitude on these guys is way too pessimistic in general, and too many assumptions are made off of a star rating. In general I agree with what the ranking systems are for and I'd be an idiot if I said I wouldn't be more excited about a five/four star guy with a buttload of offers over a sleeper that came from nowhere; however, we need to trust Harbaigh on the guys we are recruiting a LITTLE BIT more than we are as a whole at the moment.

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 3 days ago [Body] You wouldn't be referring to Jabrill Peppers now would you? I think there was some hints that at least he was going to get some exposure to the offense, and potentially make a "surprise" showing in the Spring game, but that obviously never happened. Based off of the conclusion from this discussion alone, I would be shocked if he didn't get AT LEAST a few reps a game in the offense. Harbaugh is known to not shy away from letting guys play on both sides of the ball, and this is probably the biggest weapon he's ever had with those capabilites. Personally, I believe if you throw Peppers on the offense a decent amount, you can make a capable offense very explosive and exciting in a hurry. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 1 day ago [Body] There are a few record labels where I tend to like most of the artists signed by them. One of them in particular releases full album playlists for much of the music produced under their label on YouTube, and I have found and purchased a lot of good music because of the free resource that was provided for my use. This would be an effective way for small bands to get their music out there and in turn bring additional profits by being more exposed. YouTube is not the end all be all for me for music, so obviously I still am in need of another outlet to listen to their music via other devices. Because of this, I am more likely to purchase their music. Smaller bands and artists that don't get the radio play need a way for listeners to find them, and there are plenty of "free" tools out there to do that. When you go and rip their music for free, yes you may end up going to a concert some day or buy a shirt another, but you no longer need another means of listening which would reinforce spending money to support them since you already have a physical copy. So while ripping music may in fact help bring money into artists pockets by allowing them to gain more of a following and such, they still have that opportunity with all these other free media outlets available online that don't provide you with an actual physical/digital copy of their music. It would benefit them more if they were discovered using those outlets rather than just having their music "ripped" because there's still the need of purchase. [Title]

If you recall, Canteen and Brandon Watson had similar rankings a couple years back until they were finally evaluated later on. Canteen turned out to be a solid four star composite and Watson a high three star composite. Wait until these guys get fully evaluated before you crash all over Harbaugh's recruiting strategy. And while I understand that you used the appropriate tools to validate an argument and were a lot less distasteful and much more subtle about it, this collection of thoughts needs to be put aside for down the road as a whole.

Input: [Date] 7 weeks 13 hours ago [Body] I thought the common thread with these guys is that they are smart AND athletic. This kinda crap gets said after every three star or lower commits to any major UM sport. Have we not leaned to shut our traps until we see how things trend? These guys will all get heavily scouted now that they've committed to the most talked about coach in the sport. There is no doubt in my mind that there will be a few four stars out of these guys Harbaugh is pulling in from these camps as underrated recruits. We all love the starz; we all understand where you are coming from. Any of us who are saying you unbelievers need to shut it, we aren't saying that starz/more skilled players don't matter. We are just saying that before you believe he's recruiting a MAC team, wait for the final rankings to come out once the class is full and signed.

Cousins was not a bad college quarterback. That is the only statement I'm trying to make. If he was bad, he wouldn't have NFL starts to his name THREE YEARS INTO HIS PRO CAREER even if there wasn't much ahead/behind him. Bad quarterbacks also don't get drafted in the fourth round.

If he wasn't a good quarterback, he wouldn't be in the NFL at all. Plenty of good college quarterbacks don't make it/transition to the NFL. He's no worse than Chad Henne at this point, and I don't think we would say that Chad Henne was a bad college quarterback. I just feel that sometimes our homerism gets the best of us at times.

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 4 days ago [Body] /Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke One and dones are still going to be one and dones, but more than likely overseas. I'm not sure why a kid would go to school for a semester just to jump right to the NBA, but there probably would be one or two - It is more likely they just train for a year instead. THEN there will be a buttload of kids that only play one year instead of two or two years instead of three. I'm not sure how that does anything but seriously damage the athletic programs, even if the focus is meant to be on education first. FINALLY, it has been said all over within these discussions that the freshmen would still be participating in practices and scrimmages and more than likely attend games. The NCAA would essentially have to ban all "redshirted" players from attending certain meetings/practices or limit their time schedules dedicated to their athletic progression in order to get some sort of academic benefit out of this. And if they do that, how does that help the kid out if his goal is to play in the NBA? You're limiting the "athlete's" progression and in turn hurting their futures as NBA prospects. This MAY even deter some of them from attending school and push them towards a short-term international career before shooting for the NBA as well; I'm not sure how this helps these kids academically. The kids that want to be in school will be in school, so they don't need a redshirt year if they have the ability to play and still plan to focus on their academics - Not only will you be hurting these kids but the athletic programs that are in need of immediate help. More than likely if the NCAA opens this back up, you will probably see the NBA react within a year or two by allowing players to play right out of high school (ala MLB), which will be silmilar to back in the Kobe/Lebron days where there was a flood of kids headed for the NBA before attending a college course. INSTEAD, the flood will be even greater and create an even larger issue because of the "redshirt" year requirement. These are my thoughts at least. [Title]

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 21 hours ago [Body] These kind of actions represent more of the "little brother" persona than the "big brother" persona. If anything we should be doing whatever the heck we want because we are "big brother", and if "little brother" has a problem with it then let them be the ones to change to further disassociate themselves with "big brother."

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I'm 30 and haven't attended a class in like 7 years and I still get those dreams.

Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I hear what you're saying, man. I really think this would have came up regardless of who drafted him and what round he was drafted. I don't think drafting Frank Clark and giving him a chance to play was the problem, but perhaps the interview just seemed off and drew bad press because of what came out of it. Nothing needed to be said in this situation besides "we did our research." Leave it at that. On a side note, didn't I read not too long ago that Frank Clark was speaking in schools about domestic violence? [Title]

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 3 days ago [Body] You don't by chance do offshore fishing much do you? I recently got into buying/selling fishing gear to help pay for my hobby, and I'd love to do some marlin fishing sometime down there. I personally am fascinated by the lure developers from the Islands - some of the best offshore fishing gear from around the world resides there. I sell a ton of my stuff to Maui and the surrounding islands. Looking forward to the day I make that trip! [Title]

Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Body] It's not difficult at all for most of us, but for some of us it's not quite so simple. It's easy to think logically in your own mind, but for some logic is misconstrued and addictions and psychological differences make it difficult for them to make positive life choices on a consistent basis. You do realize that ONE poor decision resulted in these consequences. One bad day. One terrible decision. There may have been another incident in the past, but this is the choice that resulted in him being dismissed. I may not struggle with a violent past where it is difficult to control my "violent" behaviors, but I do have my own daily battles because of both my encounters and poor past decisions. It doesn't matter what society perceives those battles as in comparison to others struggles, it is still a psychological battle to deal with those struggles and not falter. I imagine it is the same for most of us - we have our evils and things we try to improve upon ourselves every day. Last thing I will say is that the best thing you can do when you do make those big mistakes is not only learn from them but teach others about how to avoid those situations and how to be more aware of those things - if you help prevent one person from making those same mistakes, then you have turned a negative into a positive. I am glad to see that Frank Clark has started this process. End of book. [Title]

Input: [Date] 14 weeks 4 days ago [Body] The only reason I think we wouldn't be is because of last years cluster. Analysts in general don't pay a whole lot of attention to the "injury bugs" and probably would assume a normal projection due to gained experience. I think we will be at the bottom of the top 25 without him and around 10-15 with him in the fold, but my guess is with the lineup that will be put on the floor with him (and a bit of an unknown in Wagner) that we will probably surprise most people. I guess what I'm saying is that I agree with you, but I fully expect this team to be on some analysts final four boards at the end of the season. Again, this is WITH Brown. However, I still think we could breach that status with Williams instead of Brown. I'm going to be super pumped about that kid as well if we snag him instead of Brown. Elite shooter = Beilein magic.
