Input: [Date] 5 days 20 hours ago [Title] Will be interesting to see [Body]

Output: I'll be curious to see how Miller pans out here. I've always thought he was a phenomenal athlete and very gifted runner (although not the best passer), so this is probably a good move. He is extremely difficult to square up and get a good hit on. I know Frank Clark blew him up once when he blind sided him in the pocket, but I don't think I've ever seen him take a big hit in the open field. He has amazing start/stop and change of direction ability for a guy his size. I haven't seen him catch the ball yet, so I'm not sure he can do that. And, it seems like you get a lot better perspective from a vision standpoint when you are the QB with the ball in your hands versus if someone hands or passes the ball to you, so it may not translate. But, having 3 potential guys like Barrett, Miller, and Elliot in one backfield is a little scary. I hope our LBs are ready.


Input: [Date] 5 days 20 hours ago [Title] No #1 [Body]

Output: We have a slew of quality complimentary WRs, but we have no #1 or big play guy. They all seem OK. I will say they do seem like great blockers, especially Chesson. Hopefully either Darboh, Chesson, or Canteen can take a big step forward or Ways, Harris, or Cole can make an immediate impact. I have my doubts on all of the above. I think our TEs may have to make up for our lack of playmaking at WR, which I think they may be capable of if Butt and Hill are healthy. Bunting could also create some mismatch problems, but I'm not sure what his role would be, TE or WR? I think the rest of the offense has an impact here too. I've been watching a lot of last years games and Gardner missed a ton of open recievers. They didn't need to make great plays, they just needed an accurately thrown ball to the open reciever instead of starring down his intended target and/or throwing into coverage. If the QB this year can correctly read coverage and throw accurately I'm not sure we need a big play WR, especially if the o-line can protect and get the running game going. But, then again the QB, RB, and OL positions are also question marks, so who knows. C'mon defense!


Input: [Date] 5 days 20 hours ago [Title] Recent history makes that unlikely [Body]

Output: I like your enthusiasm, but we haven't seen a true freshman WR make an impact since Manningham. I have no doubt he has the talent, but does he have the technique down to play WR in the B1G at that level? I have my doubts


Input: [Date] 5 days 22 hours ago [Title] Will miss his energy and enthusiasm [Body]

Output: I don't know if he was a great return man or not. I don't know if he ever would have been great in the slot or not. I don't know if he was fast or just quick. I don't know if he was too small to really be effective or not. What I do know is he had great energy and enthusiasm and that will be missed. Having a guy with great energy all the time and a positive attitude is a great asset in team sports. Good luck in your future young man.


Input: [Date] 6 days 15 hours ago [Title] Hoke deserves credit for playing OSU well in his tenure [Body]

Output: I will give credit to Hoke for playing OSU fairly tight, despite only one win in 4 tries and that one win coming against an interim head coach. But, the team was always up for that game and played well. If they played that hard and executed that well the whole year they'd probably be a 9 win team. But, they never did. I will also say that IMO a lot falls on Gardner. I have spent some time the past few days watching last years games and there were a heck of a lot of open WRs that Gardner just missed or threw INTs on. That's a lot of missed opportunities and turnovers that if went the other way may have had a big impact on the outcome of games. It's still hard to see beating ND, MSU, and OSU, but they probably could have beaten Utah, Rutgers, Maryland, and Minnesota. With all that said, we still don't have a proven QB, WR, or RB yet, so it's hard to say with much confidence those things won't happen again. If Ruddock starts I doubt we see as many turnovers, but we probably don't convert as many first downs that Gardner picked up using his legs either. IDK


Input: [Date] 6 days 15 hours ago [Title] OSU is just a thorn in our side that won't go away [Body]

Output: Yeah, that whole OSU thing remains a thorn in our side. When do they have to go through a dark period?...NEVER! They turn out 10-win seasons like it's nobody's business regardless of coach or circumstance. Their biggest problems were being undefeated and getting upsed by UM in the 90's, then going through tat-gate and Tress resigning and having one average year only to go undefeated and not be able to play in the post season the next. I think if the world removed the fact that our biggest rival has been heads and shoulders better than us for the the last 15 years it would be easier to stomach. But, they show no signs of slowing down.


Input: [Date] 6 days 16 hours ago [Title] Yeah, it's a tough thing to [Body]

Output: Yeah, it's a tough thing to figure out, right? It's probably a whole bunch of things and not a simple problem, which is partly why I don't think there's a huge change this year. I think and hope for some positive improvement, just not enough to take a 5-7 team and turn them into a 10-2 team. I think that attitude and perspective play a big part in team sports and that had a big impact on Hoke's first year success. There's a chance we can see some of that team chemistry type stuff pay off again this year if the guys buy into Harbaugh. And, the reality is there are really only two teams that look on paper to be significantly better on UMs schedule. But, I still have to believe we will see some of the same struggles when we play the better teams on the schedule. We may look awesome against Indiana and UNLV, I know Green look great against Miami and App St last year, but we'll see how they hold up against Utah, BYU, MSU, PSU, and OSU.


Input: [Date] 6 days 18 hours ago [Title] I think that's a bit [Body]

Output: I think that's a bit oversimplified. I wasn't really talking recruiting either, but I do think there is some truth there, but not a lot in special teams as most of our top recruits either seem like they don't play special teams or are freshman/soph types. But, OK lets look at that a little further. I'm assuming we're talking 2012-2014 recruiting to help define the problem. We have had some bright spots. Funchess, Butt, Lewis, and Cole have all played up to or above their recruiting profiles. Some of the LBs who were good recruits have been burried on the depth chart so far like Gedeon and McCray, so it's hard to blame them. I'm curious how the new staff will evaluate them and wonder if they'll steal time from some established guys like Morgan and Bolden. I'm a litlte disapointed we've had a few guys transfer that seemed like quality players like Ferns and Bosch, both of whom I was excited about. Hurst seems to have shown at least some signs that he may be better than his recruiting ranking. What little we've seen of Peppers is promising. Wilson and Mags seem like their trajectory was as expected. Drake Johnson has been better than his recruiting ranking, he just hasn't been able to stay healthy. Henry also has achieved above his recruiting profile IMO. Wormley was injured. Same with Harris, plus he's in his second year. Mone has shown potential and Marshall is getting buzz as a young guy. Charlton is a guy I've been waiting to see and this is his first year as a projected starter. I guess I'm a little disapointed he hasn't played more, but this year will tell us a lot more, no reason he couldn't turn into an all-conference type. So, there is more to the story than they are just dumb football players. And, I'm not sure how many 4-star recruits are play punt and kickoff return other than RJS and Thomas, both of who baffle me. Gedeon and McCray do, but we've already talked about them. Sometimes Bolden or Ross does. Chesson does and is a great special teamer IMO, but he was a 3-star. There are quite a high number of 4-star guys that just haven't panned out yet. Richardson, RJS, Pipkins, Kalis, Ojemudia, Green, Dawson, and Thomas were all guys expected to have done something by now. Richardson is tiny, but he was ranked highly as a recruit. I always though RJS, Pipkins, and Thomas were really talented. I guess injuries got to Pipkins and he's not really a guy that was applicable in this argument anways since he doesn't play special teams or o-line, but not sure why RJS and Thomas haven't figured it out. Dawson is sitll young for his position, but didn't far well against an even younger player (Hurst) in the spring game. He's supposed to be one of the top guards in the country for his class. I still don't know what Kalis' problem is. I guess I get the impression that Kalis and RJS may not be the best football minds, so maybe you're right with my argument there. Not sure what Ojemudia's deal is, maybe just out of position or haven't found the right role for him. Other guys like Hill, Clark, and Gant should be good special teamers, but seem to struggle. Braden at this point with his size, strength, age, and experience should be better off. So, I guess I'm really talking about a handful of guys here...Kalis, Braden, Dawson, RJS, Richardson, Thomas, Hill, Clark, and Gant. These seem like key guys on o-line and special teams that are struggling. Some were high recruits, others not. I'm not sure how much they will change in one year with new coaches. Big picture, I wasn't really talking specifically about recruiting. Overall with the recruiting there seems to be a lot of factors going into a good number guys that haven't panned out...transfers, injuries, depth chart, poor development, just not as good as we thought, poor football IQ, etc. But, it seems like a much higher than average miss-rate on recruiting stars.


Input: [Date] 6 days 19 hours ago [Title] My 2 cents [Body]

Output: Drake is by far the best runner we have. Although he's not big, he's also not undersized. He's explosive, he has good vision, he doesn't go down easy, and he has a good burst to get through the hole. I'd love it if he was healthy and was our feature back. However, I did a post on why I don't think he'll be/remain healthy for an extended amount of time, so I cross him off the list of expected guys. With the Green, Smith, Isaac conversation, I get the impression that we'd be better off having one of them transfer. I was really excited about Isaac transferring to UM because of his recruitment, but the reality is the backfield is too crowded. One of them likely leaves after this year IMO. This seems like a good problem to have, but I think it also makes it difficult for any of them to gain confidence. It seems like RB is a position where you don't want to think. You're better off just seeing the field and reacting, and if you never stay in long enough to get in that groove it can be hard. Personally I'd prefer we have 2 strong candidates that are 1-2 years apart and the rest of the guys are either clearly backups or 3-4 years younger. I don't think it's good to have 4 guys all expecting to play, someone's not gonna be happy and sharing the carries in both practice and games may take away from all of their development and gelling with the o-line and vice versa.


Input: [Date] 6 days 19 hours ago [Title] Yeah, agree about the [Body]

Output: Yeah, agree about the opponents, but I also think that's as much about the o-line as it is about the back, and maybe even about the QB. We didn't have too many games against conference opponents where the QB had strong games to help open up the running game, minus maybe Indiana and he actually did pretty good against OSU, but the rest was a little ugly.


Input: [Date] 6 days 20 hours ago [Title] Thank you! The saying [Body]

Output: Thank you! The saying ignorance is bliss is really true. Before there was internet recruiting sites and all I knew about recruiting was what they told me during the in-game broadcast of games, life was a lot more simple. You didn't know who the incoming freshman were and it didn't matter. Michigan just beat everybody except west coast road games, Notre Dame sometimes, and then OSU was always a battle, but you could count on 9 wins. Now that I know I continue to ask...well, they are highly rated recruits, when will they be good? Now I'm just sick of asking questions and wondering. Can I have my medication now?


Input: [Date] 6 days 20 hours ago [Title] I agree, but remain skeptical much changes in '15 [Body]

Output: You may be right, but it just seems like with both o-line play and special teams play, particularly punt coverage, kick-off coverage, and blitz pick-ups, that players just do dumb things. I have to believe they were coached and instructed not to do those things and are just not that good at it. We hear it all the time that the light may go on, but that sounds a lot like wishful thinking and I'm a little more practical. I hope I am wrong, but I am cautious about how much better we get in one year. I have faith in the coaches and think they can get this thing cranking in 3-4 years, but next year I remain sceptical that we can turn our weaknesses into anything more that slightly less of a weakness.


Input: [Date] 6 days 20 hours ago [Title] So sick of asking when wil.....finally be good again [Body]

Output: It just baffles me how UM ran out RB after RB year after year that was fantastic, same with WR, QB, and o-line through the 90s and 00s. Things made sense. I never worried about who graduated or went to the NFL because I knew there was another good guy behind them. Now, nothing makes sense. I continually find myself analyzing when will (name any position) finally be good again. We sign one of the top backs in the country and he hasn't lived up to his billing (Green). We sign one of the top pocket passers (Morris) and he hasn't either. We sign 7 premier o-lineman in '12 & '13 and none of them have yet to prove much. I give the 2013 guys a free pass because they are still young, but still. We keep wondering when we will finally get this thing figured out, but at this point I have no idea. The line improved last year, but it was still bad. Will it improve enough to actually be good, because it's not like we have a great RB that can break plays and overcome poor line play, or a QB/WR that can make things happen despite this weakness? I just don't know anymore. How can you expect a player to play in a way he's never played? I hear people say offense line play is about age, experience, time working together, etc. So, having a year under their belt all of these guys having played together before should help in addition to 4 of the 5 projected lineman being in their 4th or 5th year. That gives you hope, but that's all it is at this point. It's still hard to all of a sudden assume Kalis can do something he hasn't shown he could do before. Same with Braden. Maybe coaching was the problem and Drevno can get them sorted out, but I have my doubts.


Input: [Date] 1 week 14 hours ago [Title] Makes sense [Body]

Output: I don't have any problem with that. Let them know up front, don't hide anything, and let them chose their destiny. It makes Countess' decision a little more understandable, although I'd still like him back. Good luck to any of the guys that decide to try their hand elsewhere.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] While I hear what you're [Body]

Output: While I hear what you're saying, but how else do you judge talent? If it's not recruiting rankings, what is it? Recruiting rankings are basically based off things like size and speed...potential. So, if the coaching and player development sucks, but guys are 4-star recruits, how do you judge their talent? I know I'm so sick of waiting for guys like Thomas, Pipkins, Morris, Green, RJS to produce and people saying they're talented because they had a good recruiting ranking. But, lately with all the coaching changes, changes in scheme/style, MSU beating us on the field while we beat them in recruiting rankings, etc. its hard to know what's what any more.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] I don't see the offensive playmakers [Body]

Output: My concern is our offensive skill players just don't seem to have panned out. Morris already seems like a big question mark. Our other big recruiting gets at the skill positions are Green, Harris, and Cole. Green also seems like a big question mark, Harris has not shown he can get healthy, and Cole is a true freshman. I like Butt, but he's not enough. The rest of the offensive skill players are not really 4 and 5-star guys, but are more role players. I'm concerned there are no real playmakers on offense.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] O-line [Body]

Output: On paper our o-line is just as good as OSUs and with more experience, but offensive production is another story. That makes me believe either coaching has a lot to do with it and/or our offensive problems are more complex than the o-line. We have inexperience/unproven players at QB, RB, and WR as well. While OSU had questions on o-line, they had talent everywhere else. If we had Barrett, Elliot, Thomas, and Smith and ran OSU's offense would our o-line look just as bad?


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] Yeah [Body]

Output: Looking back at some games last year, he really handled some pretty good DEs, including Bosa. He's just as good as Decker IMO.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] They have been for a long time [Body]

Output: Not to dump gas on the fire, but OSU has been the better team on paper for a long time, assuming being the better team on paper means having more talent and/or recruiting stars and being ranked higher in the polls. There have been a number of years where UM's recruiting classes were very similarly ranked to OSU's (although still typically a few spots behind). But, I don't recall a time when UM's classes were consistently ranked higher than OSU's. Maybe they were before the dawn of internet recruiting ranking sites and I just don't know it. I'm 35 years old, which means I've been old enough to know what's going on since roughly the mid-90's. But, even then when UM was beating OSU consistently in the 90's, OSU was always the favorite on paper, higher ranked team in teh polls, and believed to be the more talented team. I really just don't remember UM ever being the favorite on paper with any consistency over the last 30 years, sorry :( It's a depressing reality.


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] Talent at UM vs MSU/OSU [Body]

Output: Sometimes it depresses me how many quality players are on UMs rivals, and how many of them they were ranked similar or lower as recruits than some of the players on UMs roster. Derrick Green was a highly ranked recruit at RB, yet Elliot has been much more successful. Shane Morris was a highly ranked recruit, but Barrett and Cook have been more successful. Bosa was ranked pretty high, but Charlton was no slouch and definetly higher than Calhoun, but both of them have been more successful. Maybe I'm being short-sighted and have sour grapes, but It makes me wonder if the rankings were justified. Maybe our guys were not evaluated very well, but many of them were offered by our rivals. Maybe they just haven't been developed well or maybe the offensive/defensive schemes of our rivals fits them better. Maybe I'm just beaten down by too many losses to the rivals. Well, here's to hoping the new coaching staff can get this talent to produce and being thankful we still have Peppers :)


Input: [Date] 1 week 3 days ago [Title] Smith and co. [Body]

Output: Yeah, I'm with you. If Drake his healthy I think he's our best back, but he's not that far removed from his ACL and I have have doubts about his ability to remain healthy. I'm not sure on Isaac yet. He seems to have a good combination of skills, but we just don't know what to expect of him yet and I've heard Magnus hint at the idea that the coaches don't like his mentality, and you know Harbaugh...that won't fly. Smith is a tough, reliable runner and my hunch is he's our #1 guy if healthy. If the o-line can create holes and the QB can complete passes without turning the ball over Smith should be good. He won't break a lot of long runs, but I think he's good at getting first downs. Green seemed to be the default guy under Hoke's staff even though I personally never thought his play warranted it. Maybe he played much better during practice, IDK. He obviously was a high level recruit, so maybe that played a part in Hoke's committment to him. I haven't seen anything that makes me believe Shallman is a B1G RB. It's hard to say much about Higdon until we see him play. So, I think it will be Smith as the #1 with everyone else fighting for the #2 spot. Heck, throw Peppers back there on occasion. I'm sure he could break some big plays.


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] No worries, it's all a part [Body]

Output: No worries, it's all a part of the discussion, which hopefully sheds light on the subject, may help multiple minds re-think things, or at the very least is an interesting relevant intellectual discussion. Thanks for adding in some literature and I will take a look and let you know what I think. Regarding credentials, yes we are often proud of ours. I have a graduate degree in exercise science with a concentration in performance enhancement and injury prevention and am quite used to supporting my stance with peer reviewed literature. While a certain degree can let others know of pre-requesite knoweledge, it doesn't prevent those without it from having relevant information, so I try not to push it unless questioned. Plus, there are lots of well educated folks on this board that you may never realize until they told you. And, I have had many good discussions with people with very little formal education. As long as you have an intellectual curiosity, are willing to provide evidence to support your view, and don't mind others asking questions, then it's all good.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 10 hours ago [Title] Risk factors vs mechanisms of injury and the research [Body]

Output: There are many risk factors, not the least of which is previous injury. It’s worth noting there is a difference between a risk factor and a mechanism of injury. Many of these risk factors, with the exception of neuromuscular control, have the same outcome on osteokinematics…an internally rotated knee (valgus) and landing with a low knee flexion angle (too straight). At first sight I focused on the former, but I think both are probably happening here. There was a good review of literature in 2012 in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research on mechanisms of non-contact ACL injury. There is a body of research on kinematics using video analysis combined with retrospective surveys that suggest low knee flexion angles, knee joint rotation, and valgus collapse as a culprit in ACL injury. There are also several studies that adopted a descriptive epidemiological video analysis method that had similar outcomes including one with minimal knee rotation. There are also a number of cadaveric studies that show ACL strain or anterior tibial translation increased with low flexion angles combined with valgus stress. And, there's an MRI study I’m familiar with that revealed impingement of the ACL against the lateral wall of the intercondylar notch can occur with external rotation which combined with valgus movement, elongates the ligament putting it at greater risk of rupture. In addition, research suggests that anterior tibial translation is greater when the knee joint is moved through the kinematic and kinetic extremes believed to stress the ACL, highlighting the importance of knee joint stability for dynamic tasks for preventing noncontact ACL injury. One problem with some of the studies on knee joint stability as a mechanism of injury is they typically only measure stability in a passive state. I’m not aware of any research that has actually shown that passive stability correlates with dynamic stability. Also, it assumes passive knee joint stability is a sufficient measure of dynamic knee joint stability. The research fails to find cause and affect relationships, rather it simply notes a higher incidence in experimental cohorts. Now that doesn’t mean it’s not happening, but it leaves room to question and suggests more research is needed, which is the beauty of science why I have provided merely a theory of why I think Drake is at increased risk. BTW I’d be happy to provide any of the citations if you’re interested.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 14 hours ago [Title] Linear vs lateral [Body]

Output: His problem likely won't show up in linear running (straight ahead) unless it involves a fast stop and re-start. It is much more likely to rear its ugly head in change of direction or landing.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 15 hours ago [Title] They certainly do, but that [Body]

Output: They certainly do, but that is what coaches do, correct technical flaws. Now, it's a bit of a gray area, who would cover this particular area. If you want to go waay back, PE teachers in grade school instruct fundamental movement skills, but let's be honest, how many really correct them when they are faulty or have a good understanding of them? An offensive line coach would instruct a lineman to get his pad level or hips down if he's too upright and a RB coach would do the same. A good strength coach should be able to spot these things, but lets say they do, is there really time in their day to address every individual athlete in this manner and create a program of interventions to fix the issue?...in my experience as a strength coach, no. Is it the medical staff's job? S&C workouts certainly perform drills on footwork, deceleration/acceleration mechanics, change of direction mechanics, landing mechanics, etc. Also, his rehab would include this from the previous injury. But, some research suggests while it's pretty easy to correct passive movement flaws in isolation, it's much more difficult to do so in competition or under stress and/or high speeds. It's very difficult to change old motor habits. So, while every athlete may run differently, they should be aware of how that style impacts their risk of injury, especially one that has already gone through an injury and rehab IMO.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] I hear ya [Body]

Output: I was watching last year's games and it just occurred to me and I guess I didn't consider that some may take it negatively. Although my hunch is the topic becomes a little less interesting once the ahtlete graduates if I were to wait. I guess I could have brought up other athletes from years past, but that wasn't really the point of what I saw. I do understand and appreciate the work that goes into rehad and the lingering affects it can cause. I am a former college baseball player and I have also had a number of injuries during my playing days including a bimalleolar transverse fracture, which basically means I shattered both bones in my ankle. I had 3 surgeries and was no weight bearing for 4 months and I still do regular soft tissue work and mobility drills to try and maintain normal function in the ankle and I'm 36 years old. I have no doubt I will be dealing with the lingering affects of this injury the rest of my life. I guess my point is that analyzing why an injury occured IMO doesn't take away or from the work required to rehab it nor the discomfort you have to endure with it. The two are mutually exclusive IMO. It's more matter of fact and is just an interesting analysis IMO. I do believe in today's information age that conversations like these may make these injuries occur less often through awareness and education. Not that I think my little post will do that, but that it may contribute in some small way that makes this information more accessible to those wihtout the background knowledge in the subject.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] A few pionts. One, Drake's [Body]

Output: A few pionts. One, Drake's first tear was against Central Michigan in 2013. I don't recall that one. His second one however was last year against OSU and although there was contact it didn't appear to impact the injury. The injury appeared to occur due to the motor pattern described above. Every circumstance is different and there could certainly be other factors involved. However, this faulty motor program is without a doubt part of the problem IMO. FWIW it's very common for middle aged men to tear their achilles playing pick up basketball for instance. This is probably because we don't realize what our body is doing while we're doing it and lack the motor control and/or awareness to prevent it. I'm sorry if you took offense to the topic. This was merely an exercise in biomechanics about a relevant football player that I tought folks might be interested in. It's not intended to be negative towards him. Analyzing human movment is simply what I do and is my educational background so take it for what it's worth.


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Title] That doesn't surprise me, but [Body]

Output: That doesn't surprise me, but my hunch is that although 2D may not be valid on a single picture, I'd bet that changes when you take the same person and look at say 10 pictures. I noticed it watching a video and then just grabbed a few pictures to illustrate the point to the reader. But, it wasn't hard to find them and it was harder to find images of him not doing this. Also, knowing Drake's history of being a track guy, this doesn't surprise me. He probably wouldn't be forced to deal with a faulty motor pattern during track where there's no contact, no change of direction, and to quick starting/stopping.


Input: [Date] 5 days 20 hours ago [Body] He knew the time to go, had a good succession plan in place that had qualified coaches and established a program identity / core values and never distracted from The Team. This is why I will always talk about Bo in only the most reverential terms, and most younger Michigan fans today will not understand why Bo was held this way "since he, you know, never won a national title". [Title]

Output: This is why Bo is so revered


Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] That's when population control will oh so hip, and you'll have to get a license to have children, but then you'll also probably have to prove you're genetically worthy to have kids. SO don't worry, all the less qualified folks will just be bred out so that only the truly worthy people will be able to propagate. And then since there'll be less people, think of the less resources we'll use, so then we can arrest global warming, and we won't ever have to leave our house because the Googazonber.com corporation will bring me everything I need via robot drone and I won't have to deal with *people*, 'cause I mean who likes waiting in line with smelly people, or people that don't have the exact same opinion I do on everything from morality to dress to hair style to.... The dismissive attitude so many people have nowadays toward the erosion of personal freedom and individual responsibility is really scary, all under the name of progress/safety/ease of life. Life is hard, life has tragedy,but through all that there's great pride and personal fulfillment available by overcoming these things. [Title]

Output: But hey!

Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Body] but Judge Smails had it right, "The world needs ditch diggers too" I know no politics, but I thought this was a point that Charles Krauthammer brought out on a Fox News show about 6-8 months that really stuck with me, basically a lot of our political elite talk about "new economies" and getting more "green jobs" like computer programmers at google and what not.. but not everybody is capable of the high tech jobs or working finance at Goldman Sachs. That's not denegrating their work or value- you can have respect and pride in a manual labor job. That's what made the auto industry great IMO, sure it was tough manual labor on the line and it didn't take a lot of "skill" to turn a wrench, but you were building something and took pride in the end product. Culturally, we have over time de-valued the worth and "pride of ownership" in labor intensive fields, but there's value and moral good-i-tude in keeping productive and working hard. That translates into a society that then can overcome the really big challenges like financial hardship and wars and such. Unfortunately, you build in a mentality that everything's hard and we need automation to do some aspect of everything in our life, and then what? How does the human respond? I'm not saying we need to go back to a 1940's level of industrial technology, but the constant drive to automate everything is I think robbing humanity of some key maturation and resiliency aspects,and almost creating a permanent underclass of drones. But of course, automated cars theoretically can save lives, so "won't someone think about the CHILDREN???" [Title]

Output: Everybody laughs at the line


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Body] a couple years ago and managed to get a 'Space Bitches Space" in 24 month size. It is on kid #2 and will be saved for kid #3. We also sport the toddler sized Worst State Ever shirt and Cue the Muppets shirt. Works for both boys and girls. [Title]

Output: I badgered the MGoBlog staff


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Body] 1) M-den has onesies for boys that are light blue and have a silk screened maize n blue tie with a block M on it. Got it for my son and avoided having to dress him in crappy Baby Gap formal wear for months when we'd go to church or a party or something. 2) A kids M book. You're going to be reading to him at night for a long time, and while the writing style of Jim Brandstatter is good to put dad to sleep, not so much for baby moving into toddler. I always liked the "Michigan 101" board book at M-Den and other places on campus. It's got pages dedicated to different things abotu campus (including a page on the sports teams) and then the back two pages are the complete words (include preambles) to both The Victors and Maize and Blue. Great lullabys even if you suck at singing. And you'll sing, trust me. [Title]

Output: Two items


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 1 day ago [Body] When they got into their spat with Direct TV, DirecTV went out and put "Weather Nation" on their network instead. Very no-frills weather forecasting and conditions channel and no superfluous / politically themed programming like Weather Channel was venturing into. When Weather Channel finally made their peace with DirecTV, Weather Nation had gained enough market share that people simply didn't worry about watching Weather Channel anymore. I know in our house, our smartphones are source #1 for weather, but then after that is local Dayton digital broadcast weather HD station, then Weather Nation. Weather Channel doesn't even register for me anymore. The analogy for ESPN for me would be that if someone like FoxSports 1 focused on just presenting the sports (both live content of major leagues and news-based recap shows), they'd take away market share from the STEPHEN A. SMITH led ESPN. But FS1 has gone down the "we're going to be ENTERTAINING" road, and as such have already probably passed the point of no return. [Title]

Output: Add'l aspect to Weather Channel's downturn


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Dusty Rhodes. Miss you big guy. [Title]

Output: RIP


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 1 day ago [Body] especially when she had the glasses at her desk thing going on. [Title]

Output: Bailey


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Body] He'll get plenty of minutes at the 2, there's a black hole of gravitational mass down low in Okafor/Noel/Embiid to suck down defenders and get space to shoot, 'Ish' is a servicable distributor, and Nik's defensive liabilities can be mitigated by the wealth of big men downlow to be rim protectors. Will he be an All-star? probably not, but if he's going to be a servicable pro, he'll be in the right situation to showcase it the next couple year. Plus have you seen the Atlantic division??? I'm not sold on Toronto as a world-destroying "new NBA" team, the Knicks and Nets are going to be waterboard-torture bad, and Boston still has minimal talent (but double + coaching). I could actually see Philly making a run at finishing 2nd in the division next year. Now with Stauskas and the big-men, I'd love to see the Sixers get a veteran penetrate-but-pass-first point guard like Professor Andre Miller or, gulp, the Sixers actually using some of those stockpiled assets to get Ty Lawson from Denver. [Title]

Output: Great situation for Nik


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 17 hours ago [Body] Troy Athens '96. Always a .500 team except for an occasional blip every 3 to 4 years where we'd win 7 and come within a game of winning the league, and then lose to Troy High. My senior year, we thought we had a chance with a strong senior class and a junior QB who was groomed to be a golden boy since he was in 7th grade, and we had a run, but didn't go very far (I think we lost in the 1st rd of the state playoffs by a lot). On the other hand we were a "futbol" powerhouse, and that was what most of us who didn't play football did, tailgate for soccer. (I was a varsity baseball only guy) [Title]

Output: No


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 20 hours ago [Body] Bill Nye, noted science expert, said there's "no way" that the footballs could deflate on their own without the Patriots cheating! [Title]

Output: But but but


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Hyman's exactly the kind of player Babcock will love. Gritty forward with skill, can play wing or center.. I bet Hyman's getting Draper-like 3rd line minutes next year on the big club. [Title]

Output: Babcock hire best thing for Hyman


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Body] So our Bball roster for next year is (apologies for using 80's era position names): WITH BATTLE: PG- Walton, Albrecht SG- Battle, MAAR SF- Levert, Dawkins, Dun Robinson PF- Irvin, Chapman / Wilson / Wagner C- Doyle / Donnel / Wilson W/O BATTLE: PG- Walton, Albrecht SG- Levert, MAAR / incoming FR? SF- Irvin, Dawkins, Dun Robinson PF- Chapman / Wagner / Wilson C- Doyle / Donnel / Wilson Is this even remotely accurate? [Title]

Output: Battle or No Battle


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 2 days ago [Body] for Phil Jackson as he seems to me to fit the Bill Cartwright mold of a center Phil likes. If SVG is sold on Jackson over Jennings, then get value for Jennings now. [Title]

Output: Monroe would be appealing

Output: Never forget


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] we still might be the conference favorite at this point. Minnesota needs to find a replacement for Wilcox and the defense depth they lost, PSU is still building talent, MSU is a tire fire besides goalie, Wiscy's going to be extremely young with a new goalie, and Ohio St is Ohio St. Welcome to the CHA circa 1999! [Title]

Output: The worst part is


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] We'll have a winning record, both OOC and within B1G play, but with the lack of OOC strength and the B1G likely to be down again this year, the conference will be a 1 bid league with the tourney champ getting the bid. If we had a stronger OOC schedule with maybe 1-2 less wins, we might be in a better position for an at-large, but in reality without a stronger B1G, we're going to be 1-bid conference territory for a while. [Title]

Output: We're going to be in the same boat as last year


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I think his swing changes the last 5 years were an *attempt* to protect his right knee without actually doing anything to protect it, and subsequently putting more stress on his back which is manifesting itself now. I think Foley was a huge mistake, and his current "coach" is more of a yes man than anything else. I really believe if he went back to Harmon honestly and not because he thought it was the right PR move, Harmon could help him get back to a natural motion that fits with his body-- that's always the least stressful swing is letting your body tell you what it can do instead of forcing your limbs to do something their not naturally inclined to do. Now what that may look like at the end of the day is a Tiger who will not be able to drive 300+ yds with ultra stiff shaft steel irons, and that may not fit the persona of what Tiger wants to be-- the ultimate golf alpha dog-- but as is pointed out below, the delta in swing yardage is so small nowadays relatively, it's more important to play target golf and be solid around the greens and putting. With Tiger's natural talent, I still think he could be today a Nick Faldo in his prime type of player, but I don't think his ego will allow it. [Title]

Output: Yes but


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] It's similar to why McGwire took the PED's. It wasn't necessarily that he was intentionally bulking up, but with his original frame, the PED's helped him recover from injuries and build muscle mass to cover up for degredation in his tendons. I'm guessing that if its true that Tiger took PED's, it was as much to cover up for injuries as it was to build muscle mass. Although based on some of the stories I read as well, Ol' Eldrick had a mighty big chip on his shoulder that he wanted to be considered as much of an athlete as the team sports guys; "getting big" might have been the process his fulfilled that mental checkmark. [Title]

Output: This


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] This is why Butch Harmon is such a good golf coach. I've been reading a bunch of Golf Magazine, Golf Digest, etc the past 5 years and pretty much everybody is in agreement that Harmon's "methods" basically involve taking your natural swings and then tweaking it. Contrast that to Sean Foley and others who want to completely remake your swing in their mold of what a good golf swing should look like. I've read and listened to lots of interviews that what Butch did with Tiger was just to take his God given talent and refine it a little, take the hitches out, etc. It's when Tiger started getting too smart for his own good and started believing in every new technique / training regimine / psuedo-scientific advance that his and Harmon's relationship fell out. I personally think there's a huge hubris factor as well-- he never recovered from the divorce / scandal psychologically and his continued internal denial that he really didn't do anything wrong has rotted his karma to the core. He needs a full on Hollywood movie like bottoming out / reawakening of himself to really recapture his natural talent. He is the real life Roy Hobbs. I'm only disappointed that I think he's going to find that around age 50, and he'll put together one Nicklaus in '86 like tournament, but it'll be too late to really challenge Jack's record. For the amateur golfers out there, this relates to you in the best possible way. If you want to really improve your golf game, find a coach that doesn't say he has to remake your swing. Most times, golfers can get improvement to the point where they'e shooting below bogey golf (breaking 90, threatening 80 which means at that pointyou can play pretty much any course and have fun) just by tweaking your natural motion. A coach that's willing to work with you instead of remake you in his image is more invested in your improvement than building his own ego. [Title]

Output: Yes. This.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Dear God, why Penn St on the last weekend? WHY???? I can't take more heartbreak late in the season. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Body] We say in our place that an air gapped network is only as secure as the guy who thinks its no problem to plug his iPod into the USB port cause its easier than buying an extra charging block. There are lots of cyber attack vectors. This particular breach was one of the more nefarious ones. [Title]

Output: Correct


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Body] On official us govt business a number of years ago, I used to leave the TV in my hotel room on the "free" porn preview channel when I left. (Yes there is such a thing in upsacle Russian hotels) I figured if the Soviets were going to surveil my room, I'd leave them with something interesting to watch. [Title]

Output: When I visited moscow


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Imagine in a classic LeCarre type novel if the bad guy spy had the financial records of every employee in targeted agencies, who worked in what weapons program office, budgetary office, etc. You now have increased your success percentage of recruiting assets by an innumerable amount because you as the recruiter now know who makes how much money, who's got significant debt, who's been divorced mulitple times, who had psychological evuations, what criminal history exists, etc. These are things that in a classical sense takes months to develop on a single individual. Now you have that type of data in a sortable format for every federal employee, available at however fast your database software runs. [Title]

Output: You sir have nailed it


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Body] "The intelligence community didn't connect the dots" line? Even the increased risk of being identified as a spy will reduce the desire to conduct collection opportunities in a nation with human sources and reduce the opportunities for overt collection opportunities through the delay / decline to issue visas, permits, etc. Less information means less data means less dots, to relate to my statement at the front of this post. [Title]

Output: Remember that whole


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Body] From a national security perspective since Snowden. There are a lot of protected identities at risk now within federal service, and I'm telling my guys in my building to basically consider that they now exist in a database in potentially adversarial nation(s) with enough detail to be detained as a spy upon entry. And I work in an overt national security entity. I'm worried about guys who have kept their affiliation with national security as a contractor, researcher, academic, etc secret. [Title]

Output: This is probably the most serious data security breach

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Body] for debt forgiveness programs in Department of Defense civilian jobs, especially for engineers. It's a good career, you help your country, and after your repaymenrt service time (typically less than 10 total) you have an excellent resume to go get a higher paying contractor job. And these are civilian jobs not uniformed military. For one example that benefits folks going into the intelligence career field, see the Pat Robertson Intelligence Scholars Program. [Title]

Output: There's a lot of opporunities


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Body] He was one of the big regional stars that was able to catapult to national level status when the territory model was basically killed by WWF and the consolidation of the NWA into the WCW. Dusty had legendary long standing feuds against Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen in the NWA / WCW era, and then even when purposefullly given a horrible gimmick by VInce McMahon during his late career WWF run became a fan favorite in that organization. In addition to using excessive Southern "common man" slang in his promos, dancing in the ring, extreme showmanship with all his moves, and being one of the first southern promoters to really push African American wrestlers, Dusty was most famous for popularizing the "Dusty Finish". This was when as the lead booker and wrestler in his NWA territory, if Dusty didn't have the title and was scheduled in the main event against a heel champ, the heel champ would win by disqualification, thereby extending the feud for another show, keeping Dusty believable as a babyface contender, and putting more heat on the heel. More recent fans to wrestling will know Dusty as father to Dustin Runnels (aka "Golddust") and Cody Rhodes (aka "Stardust"), but its important to know that Dusty was one of the giants in the 1970's / 80's wrestling scene and if you went into the South, was basically as popular as Hulk Hogan. Some wrestling historians have commented that The Rock's inital "People's Champion" shtick in the WWE was inspired by Dusty Rhodes's character in that The Rock was essentially the evil mirror universe version of Dusty. [Title]

Output: Dusty was one of the modern day wrestling legends

Output: This is a great idea, I have been looking for a new route in my career for a few months now and have came up just short on a couple opportunities, I didn't graduate from UofM, I graduated from Siena Heights w/ a degree in business, and now I do engineered sales of material handling equipement, I'm willing to travel, relocate and just bust ass to make a good wage for whomever may be looking to hire! I work for a bunch of Buckeyes too which hasn't helped my day to day happiness in the workplace.


Input: [Date] 5 years 11 weeks ago [Title] YES MOTT's is VERY IMPORTANT [Body]

Output: my 8 year old son was just as excited about donating money at the spring game as he was about the football. He wears his All in For Mott's T-shirt very proudly and talks about him showing it to people at his school when he comes home. This is definitely another aspect of UofM that makes the place so special, and makes being part of that football team very special. GO BLUE

I'm very excited to be witnessing these additions to UofM in my lifetime!! Now we just got to get Amir Williams to buy in that we need him to break in these facilities when its time for him to play some college ball! :)


Input: [Date] 5 years 11 weeks ago [Title] we will need him [Body]

Output: so the last three months of school he should have been hittin the books hard to get up the gpa, could he possibly take a course or two in the summer to get the alloted credits or pass the proper exams to meet the requirements so he can get there about the same time JT Turner did last year????

Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] Suggestions: I do like the left/right swipe feature too. I'd rather the whole thread appeared instead of having to click that button on the bottom right. I do agree with the request to not have to click the button on the bottom right to view replies. It's a little tedious on the MGoBoard section (but welcome on the main page!) Also, it seems like the on-screen back button on my nexus 4 doesn't actually navigate back, it will dump me out of the app, even if I've moved in several layers. Lastly, since this app is $0 and ad-free, is there any way to donate? I hate being a freeloader. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] I love the app icon! Can we expect the block M to be used in the play store version, or is that only being used on the beta? [Title]

Output: Block M


Input: [Date] 2 years 24 weeks ago [Body] Downloaded and installed to my Nexus 4 with no problems. You don't need an SD card, in fact you can install straight from the downloads app as long as you allow your device to install from untrusted sources. Sidenote: I did need to uninstall the existing MGoBlog app. IMO, the android version (both current and the linked beta) wipe the floor with the iOS MGoBlog app. Thanks developer(s)! [Title]

Output: Works fine on Nexus 4

Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Body] My biggest complaint with BTN is the noise they make every time they drop the down and distance on the screen, it sounds like someone going "whooo" Anyone else notice this? If not, I'm sorry, you won't be able to watch the games again in peace. [Title]

Output: My biggest complaint with BTN


Input: [Date] 2 years 41 weeks ago [Body] My feelings can't be summed up any better than this quote from an Ole Miss fan about Mississippi State: "Their yapping and gloating, to us, doesn't ignite the flames of passionate hatred; they just annoy the shit out of us. We want them squashed, not so we can boast of our enemy's defeat, but so we just don't have to fucking listen to them anymore." [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 47 weeks ago [Body] Wow, Iowa lost to Iowa State in overtime. Not sure if anyone else watched this game, but Iowa was absolutely struggling to contain ISU's QB. This bodes well for Denard in this year's matchup. [Title]

Output: Iowa goes down!


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] You know you all should feel extremely lucky [Body]

Output: at least you guys are able to meet and greet two possible nfl players. Not to mention two great young men who i would not blink an eye to get up at 530 in the morning to meet. It just so happens that the fan day in my town is a bit lower scale. Yeah North Dakota State lol and while i am a fan of the ndsu it is olny because they tend to be the underdog all the time. And i live 5 blocks from campus and the fargodome. I would give anything to be there i plan on coming for the sdsu game but that is my highlight of the year. As i love all things maize and blue to the point when they lose on a saturday my week is usually ruined. I envy all of you but i made the boneheaded decision to move here for economy and job, while it was not a bad move i do miss occasions such as these. I know i probably repeated myself a lot but i cant help but cringe on this thread.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] I damn near fell out of my chair at that [Body]

Output: is he a real person lol. Omg you would think with his flambouyant name that they made it up to scare people. Fitzgerald Touissant i think i spelled it right. The really funny thing is people turn a blind eye to the our running backs slaughtering garbage teams. In fact if you look close the bowling green game where he got caught from behind. Nobody had any big runs at least aside from denard. So could he be the real deal absolutley he could be the real deal. I think cox or shaw will be the feature guy and smith or the guy we have olny seen run twice will be the third down guy. Smith has very little breakaway speed so hell why not let fitz get a shot.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] he should call him out [Body]

Output: i guess i am not to worried about the integrity of the irish but what about the young man. I mean what kind of message is kelly sending out oh you know what its ok to break the law dont worry son we got a football season ahead of us lets go out and win at all costs. I guess after we whoop them this year it will make it that much sweeter and it will highlight the decision that hoke made as being the right one.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] Chief we are [Body]

Output: Wes brown he is a top tier back. He is highly rated and has kinda gotten some rave reviews this past summer at the camps he has been at i think we sit well for dunn but do not for a second think he will be the olny top guy on our radar.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] I guess that is not good [Body]

Output: but as you and i have seen hoke can work wonders when we get guys on campus. I am not saying we are going to land him but being in the top 2 is better than not. And also miami has duke johnson already in this class so it is not as far a shot as i think your stating nor as good a thing as i am.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] I respect Howard he tells it just like it flies inbetween his [Body]

Output: ears. I also repsect that he bleeds maize and blue like the poster said above me. The guy has a true heart for michigan football. And lets top it off by saying what he said about floyd and kelly could not be farther from the truth. I think it seconds the notion that Hoke is really sending a message to play at michigan is a privilege and should be treated like that. I think the thing i like best about Howard is just what the article illustrates that he is not going to tell you what you want to hear even as a sports analyst. This makes me proud to be a fan of all things maize and blue.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] A bit off topic but i read on [Body]

Output: michigan football recruiting benjis site, WES BROWN has us in his top two. Now at 6 foot and 200 lbs i would surely not mind that kind of back. Not to mention he is teammates of stefon diggs and also we snagged countess from there last year. If you pay attention to just stars you want keith marshal if you pay attention to what has been seen at camps brown has killed it. I know i will see link link link but i am on my phone and no it is not a smartphone. Go to the link michigan football recruiting browse the comments. If you want further proof go to browns rivals profile.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] Correct me if i am wrong [Body]

Output: but in high school he is used as a wideout. Now if you have a chance compare funchess to junior hemingway given that funchess will get bigger and he is much taller than hemingway. Now i am not saying he would beat burbridge in a foot race i might put my money on funchess on a post corner route. In college height can sometimes be such a mismatch that speed has little to do with it. Mike williams at usc was tall not very fast but killed in college. I will still put money on him being out wide.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] Funny enough [Body]

Output: devin funchess stats rival those of burbridge. I know he is being recruited as a tight end but i think he will end up splittin out wide. He is very talented and is a jump ball kind of a reciever we are going to need in the coming years. Secondly our instate linebackers are going to be studs. I think out of our instate guys these three are going to be our best. Wuh wait i take that back ben braden throw him near the top he is way under the radar.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] I think it is all speculation at this point. [Body]

Output: If danny obrien comes calling i think we open the door for him. I dont question that at all but he has slow played us which leads me to believe we may be out of the picture.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] I would second that [Body]

Output: If you make it on this list you are pretty darn good. I think this kid could probably put on 25 pounds easily. With that kind of gain i think we are looking at one hell of a tackle. I wont put him in the long category but i do believe he could possibly be our best oline recruit. I am sure that could be countered pretty easily with kalis and braden but god they all have bright futures i hate even trying to say one will be better than the other.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] Couldnt have said it better. [Body]

Output: I have never disliked rich rod but he was a horrible at picking the starting tailbacks. He wanted vincent smith to be like steve slaton or noel devine. Guess what it hasnt worked out very well. The guy does not have homerun speed. Period he has been caught from behind several times. And that is without knee braces lol. Magnus i am liking you more and more to bad i live a thousand miles away otherwise sharing a beer and some michigan football talk would be right up my alley. I can say this I SURE HOPE WE CAN LAND BRIONTE DUNN HE IS THE ANSWER TO OUR 2014 RB QUESTION.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] I could not have said it better magnus. I have read some [Body]

Output: Of the stuff on touch the banner on cox. I could not agree more i think more of the problem why cox has not started is that rich rod did not recruit him. Second point i think sure there may have been problems in the past with the playbook but i really find it hard to believe seeing what i have saw from cox that he has not seen the field more. I am of the opinion that we can not keep trying to jam square pegs in round holes it wont work. I have watched michigan football religously since 1988 and seen alot of great to good running backs. I have to say i think cox fits the mold of the michigan back of old. I think what we saw in the spring from him is just the tip of the iceberg of what he is capable of. The dude flat ran over brandon herron for a 60 yard touchdown. He will start, thomas rawls will not start nor will he see more than 50 carries the whole year.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] I wonder if this board is blind sometimes. [Body]

Output: vincent smith and mike shaw have had more than enough chance to prove that they are the guy. The fact that we are even talking about who the guy is after all the playing time they have got means they will not win the job. It will be Cox thats right you heard it here. Spring 2010 there was a player that tore it up weirdly enough he broke many records and he is our starting quarterback. Cox will be the guy you can count on it and i dont care if i get downvoted i am tired of seeing the blindness around here lately.


Input: [Date] 3 years 50 weeks ago [Title] Why is everyone on rawls jock so hard [Body]

Output: He is a freshman and unproven i would love to see him break out but what are the chances. Was i the olny one that saw cox break a few pretty nice runs in the spring? And he had the extra speed to take it all the way on the one run. I think it was like 62 yards!!?


Input: [Date] 3 years 51 weeks ago [Title] Sorry [Body]

Output: I dont think ND nor PSU deserves to be here. I think they are there more for their name than anything. I think we are right were we deserve to be. I also think we will be turning a few heads this fall when it is all said and done. Why do people keep down voting me it is really stupid. People have there right to there opinion i mean unless it is absolutley off the wall let it be. People have been real picky on here lately. And to me this is the best site on the web. Especially being that i now live in fargo north dakota. I no longer live in south redford and dont have access to the media that everyone else has. It would be nice to be able to share an opinion once in a while. I listen to everyone elses two cents. I am excited for this season this much is true.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 day ago [Title] Please help [Body]

Output: it is saturday in fargo north dakota and frankly really boring. I have been wondering lately about the possible commits that may come this weekend with the BBQ. Please could someone start a thread of what is everybodys wishlist of commits that could possibly come this weekend. I mean come on a little fantasy wont hurt anyone and i would be hugely grateful to read what others hopeful commits would be so please and thank you. And sorry for posting off topic and sorry about the format i am on my phone.


Input: [Date] 4 years 3 days ago [Title] Yeah [Body]

Output: gottta love tom and his cryptic comments. Everytime he says something like this it is good. The last time was the weekend kalis visited. I dont want to jinx it but tom you are always full of great information and good luck so lets keep that rollin.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 days ago [Title] Yeah sparty is really low cause [Body]

Output: there depth chart has taken a big hit. A big part of there success was there front 7 and there are a few of them gone.


Input: [Date] 4 years 4 days ago [Title] I totally agree with you waggles [Body]

Output: were are in on a pretty talented group of WRS. My hope is that we land this kid he is big and that is the kind of reciever of old for michigan. In fact if i had my choice right now it would be Amara, Darius Powe i cant copy and paste cause i am on my phone but i read something on espn about the standouts at the GKS and according to tom luginbill Powe killed it. He said something to the fact of Powe being a physical reciever but also having more than enough ability to blow by just about any defensive back. Amara at 6'2 and Darius at 6'3 would be some great outside recievers. Than you add the slot guys we already are loaded on. Thanks tom for your post i was really anxious to here how this visit went.


Input: [Date] 4 years 5 days ago [Title] Really [Body]

Output: we need at least two WRS in this class with the talent that is out there like someone else said you cant just ignore any position for concerns of depth. Carr frequently played 5 WRS in a game manningham breaston avant mathews savoy i could go on and on. Yes stacking the Dline is important but we have got to be able to punch people in the mouth on offense and not just count on winning all of our games on defense.


Input: [Date] 4 years 6 days ago [Title] This hurts i find it funny that nobody is saying a word [Body]

Output: About our commitment. The kid looks good looks to have some talent. The best part about him is he looks and sounds like a hard worker and plays to the whistle which is very important very important. Welcome to the maize and blue we are really happy to have ya. Now this stuff with jones, pace, teric we need to look at this as a positive thing. I think it adds more scholarships to a class that is building nicely. I mean this haul of a class could be so huge i know it is not going to make a huge difference in 2012, 2013 2014 look out we are going to have a solid team. Especially solid defense. RR had such bad luck in his recruiting it is unbelievable how many of his guys did not pan out in some sort of way. The biggest one of them all demar dorsey that dude was a balla. He could run like denard but he would lay the wood too. I said when we got him that he looked like an Eric Berry type safety. Woops couldnt qualify it is a shame. I believe in what hoke is doing i think if he and matty think this Souma kid is the deal he is the deal.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] A beast [Body]

Output: This dude is going to bring back the nasty, off the edge pash rusher we need. I see him playing early. I find it hard to believe he will not be starting in 2012. This season i think if he does not redshirt he sees the field in some capacity for sure. I love this kid top of that class one of them at least.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] Yeah i agree [Body]

Output: Is devin gardner going to be startin in 2013? Sometimes i get lost in the shuffle of Mich football talk, and forget we do have a stable of WRS. Good points wolvinla. Oh one thing people forget madaris won the OFFENSIVE MVP award at the FSU camp kid is a balla anybody who thinks he is slow is crazy. He flew under the radar for a while but his offer sheet is impressive. I believe NEB FSU USC MSU AMONGST ALOT OF OTHERS.


Input: [Date] 4 years 1 week ago [Title] I hope your right [Body]

Output: Will devin gardner be slingin the rock in 2013? Is that what you are gettin at? I just think there could be a possibility as much work as that kid morris is puttin in he could jump to bein the starter although i hope they give him a year. I guess my hope is that they land one guy at the very least wolvinla a guy that can be a threat everytime the ball is in the air. I think burbridge is that guy. I also think madaris is the guy. People are forgetting madaris went to the FSU camp and won the offensive MVP award. The kid can ball he may be flyin under the radar but if you look at his offer sheet it speaks for itself. Good points though wolvinla i sometimes get lost in the shuffle of Michigan talk and forget our past head coach loved recruiting WRS for that spread of his.

Output: With Gedeon being a WILL and I thought McCray was a MIKE, plus everyone last year being recruited at either of the two what's the gameplan with the SAM position outside of the possibility of Levenberry?


Input: [Date] 3 years 16 weeks ago [Title] State didn't offer him [Body]

Output: Kind of weird that neither us nor State offered him but he had offers various schools around the country such as Florida.

Output: Ya the DT out of PA a couple years ago, Sharrif Floyd.


Input: [Date] 3 years 34 weeks ago [Title] I dont find what Kampe said [Body]

Output: I dont find what Kampe said inflammatory at all. Oakland is a good team for the conference they are in, they have beaten Tennessee the past 2 years And Kampe is more than a "glorified high school" coach, as he built them up from division II to where they are now. I always root for them to do well.

Output: It's got to be State. While I could definitely see it being Hope and his hatred for us I don't think that we really recruit against them that much. Plus Dantonio definitely hates us more.


Input: [Date] 6 years 44 weeks ago [Title] db recruiting [Body]

Output: DB recruiting is and always has been an issue. As of right now we look pretty good at S but some may move to LB. And there is always a need for more CB especially with the way college football is being played offensively nowadays. Hopefully we can land Marvin Robinson next year, I presume we lead but don't know if he is a "lock" as was once thought. As for corner who do we have a realistic shot at besides Mywan Jackson?


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Antics? [Body]

Output: As an OC that runs the flexbone triple option, who has one of his playbooks and has read the ones online, I'm sure you know more about this than me.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 2 days ago [Title] They gave up over 300 yards [Body]

Output: They gave up over 300 yards of offense. VT sold out to stop the run and get after a young QB and it worked well for them, but saying they took Urbz lunch money is a bit much. Getting your lunch money stolen is rushing for -27 yards. Is it so hard to beleive that Urban Meyer is a good coach and even a good coach with an inexperienced team can lose a game?


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 2 days ago [Title] A) That was exactly my [Body]

Output: A) That was exactly my point, Feldman calling it a "secret" is dumb. You can give Foster credit for implementing it all you want, but he didn't create anything. B) Then why does GT lead the country in rushing all the time? Paul Johnson sells DVDs on how to install his offense. His play books are online. There are even youtube videos of him explaining his offense. Every defensive coordinator in the country knows exactly what they are doing. Must be all those five star recruits.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Secret defense? [Body]

Output: This is pure clickbait by Feldman. Since when is a bear front a secret? Foster didn't even come up with the idea himself, he stole it from Ole Miss. Having read the actual case reports on X and O labs, it seems to me they got lucky that Barret didn't have a good game and that OSU's offense as a whole was inexperienced. If they run this defense next year against OSU, I predict a lot of pain for VT.


Input: [Date] 18 weeks 5 days ago [Title] It's a pretty standard way to [Body]

Output: It's a pretty standard way to perform a shotgun snap. If done properly the QB will catch the ball with his hand on the laces.

Output: I tore my ACL playing football, tried to play and tore up my meniscus pretty bad. Doctor said I would need my knee replaced sometime around 40. Have dislocated both shoulders multiple times. I had surgery on the right one to repair a 270 degree labral tear, doc said it was the most stitches he had ever put in a shoulder. The shoulder surgery was, in my opinion way worse as far as pain and length of recovery. Which is why the left one isn't getting fixed unless I have too.

Output: I love these quotes about incoming freshmen and how they don't go in the weight room the first three weeks. "Somebody is going to break; it’s inevitable.” "The stress of having to compete when they’re already fatigued is almost emotionally traumatic." Winter conditioning should be fun.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 3 days ago [Title] What? [Body]

Input: [Date] 29 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Taco could be 284 by next [Body]

Output: Taco could be 284 by next season and Poggi could be 280 by next season. You combine that with the other guys and that is a damn good two deep, which you have to have. So if your theory is that you need huge guys to beat OSU, would you care to explain to me why Bama just got run over for 280+ yards?


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Yes. [Body]

Output: Wisconsin does run a 3-4.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] I've never had a problem with [Body]

Output: I've never had a problem with my guys focusing on the sideline. What do you consider a complicated adjustment? If I am making major adjustments, that means we were not prepared. We will use halftime to go over and refine any adjustments made.


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 3 hours ago [Title] Homemade or instant? [Body]

Output: Homemade or instant?


Input: [Date] 30 weeks 3 hours ago [Title] Why wait? [Body]

Output: Why would you wait to make adjustments? If you are a good coach, you are always making little adjustments based on what the other team is doing. In college and pro's it is really easy. You have your entire unit on the sideline and are talking to them about what is going on and what you need to fix. Every coach is wearing a headset, so communication between coaches is extremly easy. Also, as mentioned, talent and depth are a big deal. If your DT's are getting destroyed, there is only so much you can do.


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 2 days ago [Title] The OP said "he might not [Body]

Output: The OP said "he might not have done this because of football related concussions?" I was simply providing some information on the fact that this is a very real problem outside of sports.

Output: Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the US., causing over 40,000 deaths in 2012. Every 13 minutes someone is committing suicide. Suicide and depression are a problem everywhere, not just football, hockey or wrestling.

Output: This is not basketball. He had to slow it down, because they went up tempo and we were not prepared for it. Hoke is entirely to blame for it, it is his job to make sure they are prepared.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Serious Question [Body]

Output: Do we know for sure that Nuss had a blank check? I just have this weird feeling that Nuss is being hindered by what Hoke thinks Michigan football should look like.


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Interesting couple of post. [Body]

Output: Interesting couple of post. Starts off with saying "fuck him" about a 17-18 year old making a choice about where he will play football and ends with "You're only as good as you're word". What do your words say about you?


Input: [Date] 35 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Players don't like [Body]

Output: Players don't like conditioning, so Hoke doesn't make them do it. Remember he's a nice guy, players coach.

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Summary: If your on an extreme budget, go with VIZIO. But only as a last resort. If you can find a sale or have the extra money.... go with SONY Detailed explanation: If you have channels that aren't in HD, I'd NOT recommend VIZIO. HD channels come in perfect and awesome, but anything that isn't HD comes in pixellated or fuzzy. I'd also have to point out that a lot of peripherals (DVD player, PS3) come in really softly. I have to boost my volume to 100 just to hear it. My other TV is a SONY that I adopted through marriage. It's been a champ and I highly recommend it. Combine that with a Sony HT-CT770 2.1 Channel Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer (or equivalent), and it's been an awesome purchase. Found this one by testing all the sound bars at the local best buy. This one gave the richest sound... while the others sounded hollow or tin-ey. [Title]

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Body] It's a gamer's addiction I can't break. I've been playing this game on and off since 2003. It's one of the oldest-running online browser games. It features a hardcore strategy gameplay on building and managing a kingdom set in a fantasy world. And it's especially number crazy, like deciding what race and personality to play and how best to take advantage of each individual's attributes. Sadly it's numbers which used to be 40k or so near it's height is down to only about 4k. Lots of long-time vets playing with a few new players here and there. The game used to be unplayable unless you downloaded a third party software to analyze your builds and attack #'s. Now thought, they incorporated a lot of that into the game itself. Much more playable now for casual gamers, but still takes a lot of coordination to do well as a team. Game can be found here: http://utopia-game.com/shared/ Forums are currently down at the moment (not sure why) but likely due to a new "age" starting. By age, the game resets every 3 months to a different age. It's on Age 65 now. [Title]

Input: [Date] 18 weeks 4 days ago [Body] My guess is he would see little time on field this year as a LB. So why not get some help at TE. He can always go back to LB next year if we really lack for bodies there. I'm fine with it. In JH I trust. [Title]

You're generalizing a community because you disagree with a journalist" comment. Your assessment of our community seems laughable to me.

We also acknowledge that we earned this due to slipping in prior years. We are a community that prides ourself on being hard working; not conceited. I would guess where you are from, but don't feel it is right to generalize a whole community based on an unintelligent blog post. While I'm at it. I'll take this opportunity to give credit to a great community in Ithaca. Their gesture for the family of one of our players was truly heart warming. Our fans also created an instant bond with them. It was a great show of small town class and pride. [Title]

This program is shit and doesn't deserve that much investment from me u til this university invests in the program Anything more than yep losses per year : you're fired Go longer than 3 years without a conference title: you're fired.

Input: [Date] 40 weeks 3 days ago [Body] We are now that fan base that bitches about getting the score run up on is?! That's pathetic. I'm way more concerned with the shit show we put in the field than the "class" of the opponent. [Title]
