Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Utah is missing some key personnel where we would definitely benefit from - for our passing game to work on Game 1, we definitely need some help there. And we got it - Ruddock + their two CB's graduating/replacement CB being dismissed from the program. BYU - tough, but at home. Offense/Defense should start hitting their stride by this game. Oregon State - win UNLV - garbage. Maryland - might be difficult, but we have a talent/coaching advantage. It's the Minnesota/PSU games that are a bit tricky - playing at night in Happy Valley is never easy. But their OL (still) sucks. We can win that. sparty - hand to hand combat ohio state - war if we can break through and beat sparty, this team gets a huge shot of confidence and is entirely in control of their destiny. And anything can and does happen in games against ohio state. [Title]

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


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Body] lol at them thinking Michigan won't be great this year. Uh, guys - Utah is very much looking like a win since their two CB's aren't there/new DC. msu game is the fulcrum - we win that, and it's for all the marbles when osu comes to town.

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Body] my girlfriend and I pay $50/month for 25mbit down/5mbit up Comcast internet, and $40/month for the TV service via the Slingbox. So $90 total. I never have to chase down a low bitrate stream, I watch things in 720p @ 60fps, it's legal, and half the price ($180) of the comparable package for other services. [Title]

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


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I kept some nike t-shirts/polos. But they're getting a bit worn in the eight years since nike has been Michigan's apparel provider. But thanks for playing wrt to the sarcasm. [Title]

Output: good news


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] There is no argument, it's known. Adidas is just inferior from a design standpoint with respect to Michigan apparel, material composition, and overall construction- it's ugly. But in a broader sense - why nike is a $90 billion dollar company by market capitlization and adidas is $14 billion? Same reasons. [Title]

Output: There is no argument, it's


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 5 days ago [Body] It's a big deal because Adidas is 2nd best, Michigan is not. When you're wearing your teams gear/logo, and you're among the enemy in the workplace, you want to feel like you have best stuff (after wins and losses of course). Adidas made garbage - just pure garbage. Nike makes some nice stuff. I think because Brian lived in A2 and is largely immune to the sparty coworkers, it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it matters to a degree. You want the best team with the best apparel provider.

Output: Those are pretty good


Input: [Date] 2 weeks 6 days ago [Body] 1) Cotton hoodies/crewneck sweatshirts that say 'Michigan Football' in our normal font with a swoosh. It is amazing how adidas screwed up the most basic designs by trying to be edgy. Classic is timeless. It sells. Don't mess with it by adding extra stripes or other nonsense. Make high quality basic pieces, and let the kids eat up the more exotic stuff. 2) You'll notice the first word for #1 begins with 'Cotton' - I looked at Tenneesee's athletic apparel site (http://shop.utsports.com/) and was disappointed to see that many of the hoodies/crewneck sweatshirts are polyester. Polyester sucks. If I'm going to drop $60-70 on a hoodie, it better be made with at least 70% cotton. 3) These home jerseys - use the same design from the 1995 season; Subtle, classy. Only those looking for the M could see it. Use the 1999/2000 away jersey (but move the swoosh to the left shoulder- Do these three things, and I could live with a 'uniformz' jersey they wear once a year during a night game. Harbaugh! [Title]

Output: shut up


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

Output: not as far fetched as you may think

Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Body] It seems to me that you and I will never agree, since the core of my argument is that the playoffs should be decided by series (7 game series at that) in order to determine who is the better team. Short series and the spacing between the games allow teams to roll out their aces twice a series, whereas longer series are a test of depth. Baseball has always been about the depth of teams. That is why the regular season is so long, and that is why until recently it was considered absurd to have anything but series. I don't entirely disagree with you and see that there is some merit to your reasoning, but I disagree with you entirely that these benefits outweigh the assault on the very core of the game itself. There are 162 games in the regular season, and if one wildcard makes it in by a couple games over the next best ones, then so be it. Just like the Braves, they could have helped themselves by winning their games. [Title]

Output: It seems to me that you and I


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Body] I understand these arguments, but I think some of the positive components of what you outline are overridden by what happened in 2012 during the first iteration of this format. A 94 win Braves team had to play an 88 win Cardinals team and ultimately lost a game played under protest due to one of the worst calls I have ever seen. Anyone who watched that game - which wasn't many because it started at 5PM on a Friday - should understand why a one game anything in baseball is not tenable; precisely because of that randomness. That the Cards went on to win the WS is a moot point, as they had no business being given equal treatment to a team that had a 6 game advantage on them, which played in a superior division, and which had won 5 of the 6 games against the Cardinals that season. Any benefit is far outweighed by the above being allowed to happen. [Title]

Output: I understand these arguments,


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Body] An individual baseball game is more "random" because there are far more variables at work than there are in basketball, for example, where the same 6-8 guys play the same 6-8 other who run more or less the same plays. In baseball the batter-pitcher matchup, coupled with just how difficult it is for the offense to score in general produces such outcomes. I think baseball would be less "random" if the playoffs were as inclusive as other leagues, where the top 6-8 from the AL/NL each make it and they play a 7 game series (5 game series are too short IMO). In that scenario I think the better teams would win out at a similar rate as in football. That being said, I would hate that as a baseball fan. I think the 1 game play-in game is an abomination that should be strapped to an ICBM and launched into the sun. [Title]

I can't believe how many M students sold their tickets during fall break; A2 was INFESTED with PSU bros that weekend. They were out on South U and elsewhere picking fights and whatnot the Friday before. Funny how they didn't seem to be around on Saturday night. This is when I lost all respect for PSU, well before the most recent...events. This and Braylonfest were the two best live moments in sports for me. That Saturday was one of the biggest party nights that took place while I was at M. I think because it was a generally terrible season to that point and the game ended at night the student body turned it up to 11. [Title]

Output: It's so sad when players like Simon are "mad" because a coach made him work hard at practice or called him a "pussy". Football is a mans sport and if hard work and a coach yelling at you is too much than that is pathetic and you don't deserve to play the game. Grow up and be a damn man. People in our country are truly becoming soft skinned and weaker as the years go by. What's this guy going to do when a boss yells at him for messing something up in the "real" world? Cry and put on a 6 hours bitchfit on Twitter? If I was an employer and heard of this so called man attacking his coach like he has I would never hire him. If you have a problem you sit down face to face with that person and work it out, you don't act like a child and cry to the public on Twitter. Football is not a game for the weak minded people and Simon has proven to be one of those people.

In my opinion if you have a kid, even if you don't, a GR is a great dog to have. My beautiful dog lived to be 16 years old and the bond me and her built was so strong I don't think I had ever cried as much when we had to put her down.

Football at the college level is fun to watch for many people so the more game the better. I for one, which is just my opinion, would much rather watch two 6-6 teams face off in a bowl game where many kids are playing the last game they will ever play than watching NFL games. Not to mention there are rarely games on Sunday anyways so you won't miss out on any NFL games and still be able to watch most of the college bowl games.

Also if you haven't watched the new Terminator trailer that just got released DO NOT WATCH IT. It'll give off a huge part of the movie and for me made it a lot less likely for me to watch the movie in theaters. Just don't watch it if you don't want the movie semi ruined.

Now if he sued the guy that shot him and is responsible for his injuries then fine, that's what the legal system is about. But to sue 5 companies just because the guy drank there is truly a get rich quick. Suing the guy that shot you should be more than enough to get your medical bills and other expenses due to the shooting covered.

Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Body] While I disagree with you about the potential payoff for lacrosse versus soccer (even this game ended with 15 total goals scored), I do agree this was a boring game. It was bound to happen when two of the slowest pace of play teams in the NCAA played each other on one day of rest. Hopefully more people tuned into the semifinals on Saturday. Both were incredible games with great finishes. [Title]

Output: While I disagree with you


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Body] They didn't say that's where it NEEDS to happen. They said that's where it is GOING TO happen. We'd all love to see the big football schools add men's lacrosse. That won't happen very frequently for a lot of reasons. In the past 36 years it's happened exactly twice, at Notre Dame and Michigan. Meanwhile a couple of dozen or more smaller D1 schools without football have added men's lacrosse. That will continue to be the trend. Women's lacrosse will continue to be added at big football schools with regularity. Great Title 9 add. [Title]

Output: They didn't say that's where


Input: [Date] 8 weeks 6 days ago [Body] How many roster spots does a men's rowing team have? I just glanced at the Wisconsin roster, and it's huge. You would probably have to add two or maybe even three women's sports to offset those numbers. Can't see that happening. [Title]

Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 hours ago [Body] Great write up L'Carp. It was a really good weekend for the Big Ten. From a conference that struggled a bit through the season and wasn't expected to get more than one bid to having three bids and all three advance to the final 8. Shows the level that Michigan still has to get to, which obviously won't happen overnight. For me Albany is the team to watch. They play the game the way it's meant to played...fast. It's very entertaining. Reminiscent of lacrosse in the 80s and 90s. I would love to see them beat ND and get to the final four. Tall order though. ND is probably the most balanced team in the tournament. Hopkins turned a corner when they played Michigan. Earlier in the season they were losing close games to ranked teams, mostly because their goalies couldn't save a beach ball. Their senior starter played really well against Michigan, and since then you could argue they are playing the best lacrosse of anyone in the tournament. [Title]

Output: Great write up L'Carp. It

Output: But is Michigan strong enough


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Body] As a club team alum I love this. JP and the athletic department are clearly building the varsity program (Team Four and all that), but they are also making a real effort to honor the past. It's smart. The club alums are the donors and job network for the current players. The guys from my era had a lot of fun and made great friends playing, and the guys from the last few club teams have a lot of pride in the championships they won. And in Michigan's case, which is kind of unique in lacrosse, the D1 program came about in large part because of the way the club team was built. [Title]

Output: As a club team alum I love


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Defense is much improved over the last few weeks. Not sure what people are seeing when they say awful defense. Yes there were a few breakdowns, but overall you can see the improvement. And other than Logan, they are doing it without a single guy who I would call great at that end. No defense, I don't care who you are, can shut down a good offense (and Ohio State has a good, not elite, offense) if the other team has the ball a lot more than you do. Faceoffs are the biggest factor holding this team back. And today there were a few untimely turnovers, both on offense and on clears, that didn't help. I loved the scrap in the first half. Diving for loose balls and flying around. They just played a muderers row of faceoff guys between Maryland, Rutgers and Ohio State. They survived Rutgers because they actually are a slightly better team and they had just enough offense, but Maryland and Ohio State without the ball isn't going to work out too well. I'm hopeful they can compete a little better for faceoffs in the next two weeks. Hopkins and Penn State are good there, but not like these last three. If this team beats Penn State and makes the Big Ten tournament that's a success for this year. Everybody picked them to be last of six, and they already are positioned to be 4th or 5th. [Title]

Output: Defense is much improved over


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 10 hours ago [Body] Release says attendance was 800 and some change. To be expected I suppose on Easter Sunday. I seem to recall that the date of the spring game was changed within the last couple of months, so I would guess that had something to do with it. That and the regime change with both new Jims taking over. Probably other factors too having to do with the Big Ten starting up. I suspect they have less flexibility with their own conference scheduling than they did with the ECAC. I'd love to see them do what Ohio State does with their spring game and lacrosse game combo. They play the lacrosse game first, then have a real game for the spring game, which helps draw huge crowds for both. Winning also helps I suppose. Huge win yesterday though. Nice to have King back. They got dominated at faceoffs for the second straight week, but this time found a way to overcome that. Ohio State looked great last night against Hopkins. Chances for an upset depends on which Buckeye team shows up on Sunday. The one last night or the one that laid a goose egg against ND and lost to Detroit. Hopkins, as much as they are struggling, will be a really tough out, especially on the road. That game is their homecoming (yes, they have their school homecoming in the spring at a lacrosse game). Penn State seems to be the best chance to get another win and hopefully lock down a tournament spot. [Title]

Output: Release says attendance was


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 9 hours ago [Body] Got to go to the game yesterday. Maryland is a top 3 team for a reason. To be fair, three of Michigan's losses this season are to the current #1, #3 and #10. This is still a much improved team in its fourth year. They just don't have the horses and skill sets that the elite teams do yet. A few thoughts from this one. 1. Maryland is loaded on offense, but they don't wow you there. They are very methodical. Where they kill you is on faceoffs, where Raffa is a complete animal, and defense/goalie. Michigan didn't get the ball much because of Raffa, and when they did they had a lot of trouble generating quality shots. The Maryland goalie ate up most of the shots they did manage. They are giving up less than 5 goals per game this season, which is insane. 2. Michigan really misses King. As I said, they had trouble getting good shots and then burying them. It can't help to be missing their one legitimate great player on that end, especially against the best defense in the country. I thought the Michigan players were athletic enough to make some things happen offensively, but their sticks let them down a lot with turnovers or bad shot placement, and Maryland jumped all over mistakes like a top-5 team should. Kyle Jackson made some things happen, but he can't do it alone. Shlosser is really fast and explosive, but his stick needs to improve. 3. It was a good crowd, maybe 3,000 or so. Lots of Michigan people. Byrd Stadium is too big for lacrosse, like Michigan Stadium, but they do a good job with the event there as you would expect at a school where lacrosse is really important. [Title]

Output: Got to go to the game


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Here's the release; http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/m-lacros/recaps/100811aaa.html I think your memory is a little sketchy. That was their second D1 scrimmage. They played Providence at home before that, losing 11-10 in OT. The score against St. Joe's was 9-5. They were down 5-3 at the half. Granted, that was not yet a good St. Joe's team back then. Both teams have been steadily improving since then, but obviously St. Joe's had a big head start as an older program. They did get smoked 14-2 by Towson that day. Maybe you're remembering that one. Either way, this was a good win for this team right now. St. Joe's was 11-4 last year and thumped us at home. They almost beat Virginia earlier this week. To win this one on the road without a guy like King after losing two in a row says a lot about their fortitude. [Title]

Output: Here's the


Input: [Date] 19 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Watched the stream. You can really see how much the offense misses King. Schlosser was great until St Joes put their pole on him. Then there weren't a lot of other offensive options. Would really like to see Jackson get back on track. He was so promising the past couple of years but seems like he's mostly ineffective this year. Is he playing hurt? Great to see the defense step up. Logan is part of that, and he played great, but the defense has been so inconsistent. They played well today, even without regulars like Hatton and Moore (assume both are hurt?). Slides and recoveries were better. Generally better on ball. Were forcing a lot of shots that Logan could save. He did bail them out a few times, but great goalies do that. Lott had a good faceoff day today, and that made a huge difference. I thought the St Joes guy who was having success late was moving early every time, but they only got the call a couple of times. Hard to tell from the angle they showed if the Joseph goal in the first OT should have been good or not. It was close. [Title]

Output: Watched the stream. You can

Input: [Date] 21 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Coach Paul needs to teach Mama G how to spell lacrosse. Nice to the see the boys pulling away from teams that they were close with last year. Definite signs of improvement. Next step is playing close games with top-10 types of teams. That might still be two or three years away, which would still be fast for a new program. Was wondering when Kyle Jackson was going to blow up in a game. Hadn't happened yet this season. [Title]

Output: Coach Paul needs to teach


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 2 days ago [Body] You are projecting a loss to Drexel? You're right, that will be a tough one. Although they did lose in a blowout to Albany today. I think Brown and St. Joe's could both be really tough as well. Hopefully these next two are wins. Even starting 4-1 with the only loss to one of the top teams in the country is a HUGE step forward. [Title]

Output: You are projecting a loss to


Input: [Date] 22 weeks 2 days ago [Body] IrishLax, Really appreciate this post. I think you nailed it about the the ND team. I was hoping for an upset this week based partly on the GTown score and partly on Michigan's two blowout wins, but reality hit today. ND was a national finalist (and ACC champ, which is no joke) last year for a reason and is better this year. Michigan is a fourth year program with three recruiting classes and only one superstar. The only thing that really surprised me was the faceoff struggles until Michigan apparently started using a pole there. They are an above average faceoff team. But that's often a matchup thing that can sometimes go either really well or horribly wrong despite prevous stats and match-ups. It's way to early to say if JP is not the guy. As you say, the team is showing very steady improvement and from all reports they are blowing the doors off in recruiting (which Paul is ultimately responsible for) starting with their 2016 class. I played club with him and have so much respect for all that he's accomplished. But who knows? I'd love to see what he can do with a team that is loaded with ND level talent. I am really happy to see this rivalry starting. As Michigan's program gets better, it's going to be great to see these games turn into battles. Congrats to Coaches Paul and Corrigan for getting it going. [Title]

Output: IrishLax, Really appreciate


Input: [Date] 23 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Oosterbaan is definitely an advantage, but since the lights were replaced a few years ago I'm always amazed at how bright it is in there compared to the old days. Plus they painted the walls blue recently, which makes seeing the ball a lot easier than most indoor buildings (Penn State, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Ultimate where Detroit plays) that have white walls. I may be wrong here, but I believe that Notre Dame practices and plays on a narrow field in Loftus as well, so the "tight confines" may not be such an advantage. They definitely have a track around their indoor field, so the building is bigger, but I believe they play the football sidelines. Completely agree that the early season success is encouraging, but Notre Dame is a whole different level. Will be very interesting to see if the boys can hang. [Title]

Output: Oosterbaan is definitely an

Input: [Date] 23 weeks 6 days ago [Body] "what set them apart was undying school loyalty, a fatherly love of their players, and the utmost integrity off the field." I think you just described Brady Hoke. The characteristics you listed were all true of them and many other great coaches, but I believe what set Bo apart (and Woody to be fair) were personalities that were at once unassuming - not wanting to be celebrated, but at the same time filled a room. And they won. That always helps in the fond memories department. [Title]

Input: [Date] 34 weeks 1 day ago [Body] It was added because Brandon wanted to add it and because JP had built a monster of a club program that was successful both at winning and raising money. DB always said he was adding it for business reasons. He thought the growth trends showed lacrosse would be a much bigger sport in the future and wanted to be on the front end of that. The money that was raised was not nearly enough to endow the program. That would take 20 or 30 million at least. DB said it was just to offset costs the first couple of years. If the average cost of a scholarship is about $50k, and lacrosse gets 12.6 (the NCAA limit), that would make the annual cost to the athletic department $630,000. Not insignificant, but won't break the bank. [Title]

Output: It was added because Brandon


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Can't answer that, but I do know the team won the department's community service award two years ago. Since then they switched to recognizing individuals, and Jeff Chu was one of the winners last year. So they take that role seriously. [Title]

Input: [Date] 36 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Football and basketball generate net revenue, although you could remove the basketball revenues and barely notice the hit to the overall budget. Hockey is more or less break-even and made money in the Big Chill year because of that one game. No other sport at Michigan makes more than it spends. But it's not quite that simple. Facilities are paid for mostly through donations. Some scholarships and coaching positions are endowed. Other revenue sources bring in a lot (BTN, donations, sponsors, etc.). I do know that in the case of lacrosse the first few years of operating expenses were covered by donors. I know this because I'm one of them (although my check was pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things). [Title]

Input: [Date] 40 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Varsity lacrosse (obviously). Night football games. I wish we played one or two every year. Best atmosphere I've seen in my 50 years of going to games. The wins in those games don't hurt. Support for all non-revenue sports. Important to remember that new facilities come from donor gifts, not from ticket revenues. Many of those donors wouldn't give for other causes. They want to see their names on buildings and/or direct their money that way. More power to them. Also important to note that while lacrosse is a non-revenue sport, they raised a ton of money on their own to kickstart the varsity program and probably brought of lot of additional potential donor support in the future.

Input: [Date] 3 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I find it interesting that [Body]

Output: I find it interesting that someone advocating an illegal alternative would strike such a holier than thou tone, but that's just me.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I think you have it wrong [Body]

Output: What I never understood is how "cocksucker" became a derogatory term. It seems to me that, no matter your orientation, they are doing a service to somebody. Are you anti-blowjob? Seems to me like they should be praised for the good they are doing society. Cowherd, on the other hand, is awful.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Something about this seems [Body]

Output: Something about this seems weird.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 hours ago [Title] Draftageddon! [Body]

Output: The mere mention of Draftageddon has me excited for the coming season. HARBAUGH!

Output: Assuming that Wuxia films also count, I'm going with Hero.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Utilities are absolutely [Body]

Output: Utilities are absolutely "national security stuff," and they should be more than fretting about the "possibility" that their systems may be compromised.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Title] From a national security [Body]

Output: From a national security perspective, this pales in comparison to what Snowden released. And I'm saying this as one of the affected.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 5 days ago [Title] '68 Mercury Cougar [Body]

Output: Dad bought it when I was 13 (1999) and we spent the next couple of years restoring it. Convinced him to drop a 351C in place of the 302 it came with stock. Pros: chick magnet, a ton of fun to drive Cons: cop magnet, 13MPG, no A/C Never going to get rid of it. Too many memories.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Or in this case we do know [Body]

Output: Or in this case we do know who is reading it, which is instructive.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It seems to me that you and I [Body]

Output: It seems to me that you and I will never agree, since the core of my argument is that the playoffs should be decided by series (7 game series at that) in order to determine who is the better team. Short series and the spacing between the games allow teams to roll out their aces twice a series, whereas longer series are a test of depth. Baseball has always been about the depth of teams. That is why the regular season is so long, and that is why until recently it was considered absurd to have anything but series. I don't entirely disagree with you and see that there is some merit to your reasoning, but I disagree with you entirely that these benefits outweigh the assault on the very core of the game itself. There are 162 games in the regular season, and if one wildcard makes it in by a couple games over the next best ones, then so be it. Just like the Braves, they could have helped themselves by winning their games.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I understand these arguments, [Body]

Output: I understand these arguments, but I think some of the positive components of what you outline are overridden by what happened in 2012 during the first iteration of this format. A 94 win Braves team had to play an 88 win Cardinals team and ultimately lost a game played under protest due to one of the worst calls I have ever seen. Anyone who watched that game - which wasn't many because it started at 5PM on a Friday - should understand why a one game anything in baseball is not tenable; precisely because of that randomness. That the Cards went on to win the WS is a moot point, as they had no business being given equal treatment to a team that had a 6 game advantage on them, which played in a superior division, and which had won 5 of the 6 games against the Cardinals that season. Any benefit is far outweighed by the above being allowed to happen.


Input: [Date] 10 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Baseball is somewhat random [Body]

Output: An individual baseball game is more "random" because there are far more variables at work than there are in basketball, for example, where the same 6-8 guys play the same 6-8 other who run more or less the same plays. In baseball the batter-pitcher matchup, coupled with just how difficult it is for the offense to score in general produces such outcomes. I think baseball would be less "random" if the playoffs were as inclusive as other leagues, where the top 6-8 from the AL/NL each make it and they play a 7 game series (5 game series are too short IMO). In that scenario I think the better teams would win out at a similar rate as in football. That being said, I would hate that as a baseball fan. I think the 1 game play-in game is an abomination that should be strapped to an ICBM and launched into the sun.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I never understood this and [Body]

Output: I never understood this and it drove me nuts while I was in A2. It's MEIJER not Meijers.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] In the student section right [Body]

Output: In the student section right behind a group of 30 or so PSU fans that were huge assholes to everyone around them the entire time. I can't believe how many M students sold their tickets during fall break; A2 was INFESTED with PSU bros that weekend. They were out on South U and elsewhere picking fights and whatnot the Friday before. Funny how they didn't seem to be around on Saturday night. This is when I lost all respect for PSU, well before the most recent...events. This and Braylonfest were the two best live moments in sports for me. That Saturday was one of the biggest party nights that took place while I was at M. I think because it was a generally terrible season to that point and the game ended at night the student body turned it up to 11.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] If I'm not mistaken that [Body]

Output: If I'm not mistaken that correction has to do with the speed of the satellite in orbit being faster than the speed of someone standing on the surface. The same principle would apply if you placed a clock on an extremely tall tower - the top is rotating faster than the base. These are two different principles at work here. Says that guy who's never taken physics, anyway (me).


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 4 days ago [Title] At some point doesn't the [Body]

Output: At some point doesn't the University have to consider how far it is willing to go to remain competitive in this environment? I think we have two great coaches in Harbaugh and Beilein, but as the years go on, Michigan will be challenged in its ability to do things the right way while also remaining competitive. I think we are currently very near the edge of the envelope.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 5 days ago [Title] This is true [Body]

Output: This is the same coaching staff who set up shop at Penn State right after the Sandusky-related NCAA sanctions were imposed. As far as antics go, I wouldn't put anything past Beckman.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I think my senior year [Body]

Output: I think my senior year (07-08) was probably the last year you could really sneak in as a late night destination. They kept everything locked, but we found a tree next to the fence on the on the Crisler side that was helpful in getting over the fence. Depending on the security guard's enthusiasm and weather, you could get a lot of time in on the field. It was pretty epic after a fresh snow. The best part is that the security lights were bright enough for you to see pretty well. I'm sure it's totally different now. Thanks, Dave Brandon.

Output: I was just in Tbilisi, though Yerevan is great too. I of course read mgoblog while there so at least for a time there's two mgobloggers in the Caucasus. EDIT: Okay, now there are at least three. EDIT EDIT: I accidentally upvoted myself, so rather than living with that shame I downvoted myself.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I'm not really sure they are [Body]

Output: I'm not really sure they are at a disadvantage in recruiting because Michigan is running a series of half day camps in the South. Auburn is permanently located in Alabama, so I don't think things have changed. Plus they pay their players, etc. They are just whining because they are babies. Also I think it's hilarious that Auburn thinks it is a bigger name than Michigan.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I had similar experience too, [Body]

Output: I had similar experience too, and it was an extremely bizarre feeling. On one hand I wanted us to ruin what I perceived at the time to be a small chance they would make the playoffs, just so I could be assured that they wouldn't win it all. On the other, I felt as you described - I needed Michigan to lose to ensure Hoke wouldn't be retained. I don't know if I was happy, but I sure wasn't upset about the whole thing. I hope I never have to feel like that again.


Input: [Date] 1 year 50 weeks ago [Title] Cant Think [Body]

Output: That subjecting to him all those hits lined up as rb will be good for his longevity. Jags cant block, leading to semi truck hits on (with all do respect) glass like D-rob. Would love to see him utilized as more of a passing threat. However, when all is said and done there shouldnt be any worry of him making the roster, Coaches salivate on players like this that have multi-dimensional talents. Not to mention great marketability in the state of Florida and all around great TEAM TEAM TEAM guy.

Output: legacy recruits from former standout players are a great thing at any institution. This shows that the "Family Values" aspect is in tact and that former players who are the backbone of our instituion are happy with the direction that the program is headed.

Output: If leyland is so risky by putting valverde in why wil he not give rondon a shot. granted he is young and doest have a 40 plus save season. However imop the risk/reward with him is far higher being the fact that he could develop into something nice rather than watching valverde stumble through the swan song of his career and giving us all hear attacks in the process.

Output: Link??


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] I've already seen a ton of Drake's quotes expressing his great respect for urban and coombs and that a visit will be scheduled there very soon. I have almost read nothing in that respect concerning a visit to Michigan. Which has me very concerned because lately there have been a lot more recruits from Michigan other than Damon Webb and Drake Harris expressing great interest for Ohio. For example Cass tech RB Mike Webber already has OSU as his leader. MSU may be falling on their faces right now but Ohio is sweeping into Michigan very hard now. [Title]

Output: Michigan is probably behind Ohio in the hunt too


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] Do you think Alabama take him back after the way he left them? I mean I guess it would be like us taking Dawson back sans the retarted tattoo. [Title]

Output: Do you think


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] But I think if Bama loses we may have to see them again in the Capital One Bowl. Not saying we would lose again but I'd much rather play another team. Although, I wonder how Gardener would fair in a rematch? [Title]

Output: Ritch is a nice guy


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Recently, I went through some of our less popular commits (Hurst, Stribling, Hill, Dukes,and York) and I am astonished by our ability to notice and lock down talent. I recommend the mgo-community go and check out some of those players senoir highlights. Especially Hurst, his film is unreal and I am VERY VERY glad we snapped him up. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/336860/highlights/2511384 [Title]

Output: Wish I could start my own thread on our underdogs


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Im sure Channing is gonna get his third star but the question is if he is worthy of being a four star. I honestly don't care because the coaches are sold on him, but I know he as a player would appreciate that accolade. Also what was the official update on his injury? [Title]

Output: Im sure Channing is gonna get

Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] As much as I will miss the Wolverines storming to the field, watching them storm out on the court has been just as satisfying so far. [Title]

Output: Basketball


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Channing is great at positioning himself for impact plays. Underthrown but he is a playmaker. [Title]

Output: Interception


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] No he isnt a legacy player but I feel he falls into that genre because his family ties to the NFL. A lot of coaches sons have done well anyways though. I though Kugler had a brother that played college ball though, which I think makes you a legacy player in a way. I guess legacy may not be the right word but those strong family ties go along way in preparing a player. [Title]

Output: No he isnt a legacy player


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] I missed the broadcast but who was actually discussed that caused this major bias on the *buckeye side of things. I am on Wolverinenation and Tom often has to fend off of the stupidity of buckeye nation. [Title]

Output: Who was discussed


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Of loosing Gareon Conely. Another phenomenal athlete picked up by the coaches. I expect to see him all over the field today. [Title]

Output: This kid really softens the blow


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] Whether it is basketball and now football, there are quite a few legacy players. We have seen how being a legacy kid has paid off for player like Hardaway and GRIII, really hoping this logic transfers to football. [Title]

Output: I love that about our Michigan teams


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] NOT a fan of Nebraska but for the B1G I think they could handle UCLA in the Rose bowl [Title]

Output: I hope UCLA wins


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] This makes a ton of since. As a Falcons fan I don't like giving Mora too much credit, but if UCLA wins it would make a ton of sense. Oregon really got F***** this year lol [Title]

Output: I usually don't buy into conspiracy theory but...


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] But I am not new to recruiting and I think this is completely normal for any recruiting cycle. Yes, it sucks to have our players decommit but compared to other universities, who allow visits, our recruitment at Michigan has much less drama than other places like USC or most SEC schools. At schools who allow visits, their commits go on every official visit and give another school a shot at flipping them. My friends at UGA sit on the edge of their seats literally EVERY week not knowing whether a kid got "blown away" by a visit they took. So I say relax because we are Michigan "For God's sake". [Title]

Output: I am also new to MGoblog


Input: [Date] 25 weeks 3 days ago [Title] funny you say that [Body]

Output: b/c a month or so ago i was wondering what happened w/ Dunn b/c he was invisible all season and against UM, and then the news that he's leaving i like your theory and would believe that's an urban thing to do i wish i could say it will matter in the long run, but i don't think it will Regardless of what i think of meyer, he's objectively an incredible coach and a great recruiter and studs will always want to play for him; osu will always be very good to great under meyer the best we can hope for is that Harbaugh brings us back to that level or close to it, which seems reasonably likely and an incredible prospect in light of how far the program has sunk


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] there is a limit [Body]

Output: That's true for a while with a program like Michigan, obviously, but there is a limit. This season demonstrated the limit, with multiple committed blue chips dropping and likely more would have followed but for the killer hire.


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] Nice to have studs considering us again! [Body]

Output: If we get even one or two of these guys who are newly interested, it'll be a coup. But, the important thing is that we're back in the conversation. Somehow, Hoke had us in the conversation for a few years (without tangible results, unfortunately), and that changed dramatically as this season progressed. Under normal circumstances, it would take years to climb back up that ladder in the eyes of the best recruits. But the Harbaugh (and Durkin) hire changed that instantly, even for guys already committed elsewhere. Amazing. And, go Ducks!!!!


Input: [Date] 34 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Good choice; great coach [Body]

Output: He's in the "done much more with much less than many other coaches" camp. Great coach. He's been off the radar b/c most people didn't think he'd leave OSU after so long and with 7-8 years left on a contract and after turning down many opportunities over the years.


Input: [Date] 48 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Gardner/Funchess and the Tebow Jump-Pass [Body]

Output: >"He could be like Calvin Johnson in the red zone. Just throw it up and let him go get it. I bet > we see a lot more of that this year." On the 2 pt conversion v. OSU last year, I was calling for the "jump pass" that Urban Meyer and Tebow used many times. Funchess is perfect for that play and would be unstoppable against most defenders. It may not have worked v OSU b/c it relies on a fake QB run and Gardner was injured so the fake may not have drawn anything. But it would have been a much better try at 2 pts than the play they ran (and ran and ran and ran over and over again to the point of predictability). Bonus points for running that play to win a game against the coach who's most known for it.


Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Title] Looking forward to the UFR for this game [Body]

Output: Will be interesting. I think there were three plays when DG underthrew a receiver in the endzone (two of them to TEs, I think). I'm not knocking his overall game v. ND, which was great, but I think he has a tendency to under-float certain passes that need a little more zip or loft. Again, I think he played a very good game, and I realize It's easy to isolate mistakes and downplay the many good plays.


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

Output: Me too.


Input: [Date] 2 years 47 weeks ago [Title] I guess I'm in the minority here [Body]

Output: The loss is huge. He was our only reliable one-on-one coverage DB and arguably the best if not most important player on defense. The projections based on allegedly bad passing offenses on the schedule are flimsy. Before last year, UM spent three years making such offenses look all world. One reason was that we had nobody who could cover on the outside. Sure, the current sitation is not nearly as bleak as it was for those three years. But Countes was a good player as a freshman and had stud potential coming into this year. It's a major loss.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] peak/trough [Body]

Output: Great writing. Exhibit A of why "bloggers" can and should be treated as journalists or professional writers or whatever. Overall, fantastic.


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Title] when you wish upon a star [Body]

Output: Nothing happens. Better days are ahead, but Saturday will not be one of them. This preview made me more pessimistic than I already was. Michigan's top goals for Saturday: (i) not get embarrassed; (ii) not suffer significant injuries.


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Title] Not to defend Carr, but . . . [Body]

Output: he was right. Iowa was a better fit for Wienke. If a HS kid asks that kind of question under that circumstance, Carr probably should have defferred any response. But, once he chose to respond, there was only one appropriate answer.


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Title] I'd rather not see UFR for this b/c [Body]

Output: except for 5-10 plays, it was not pretty


Input: [Date] 3 years 8 weeks ago [Title] he looks small in those vids [Body]

Output: Not relative to the other players but from what I would expect a 4 star to look like at that stage. Also don't understand the yelling/screaming vid in after several plays that were fine but nothing special. He's a Alabama-monstrous-OL pancake away from toning that down.


Input: [Date] 3 years 35 weeks ago [Title] We Must Eat [Body]

Output: Was it my imagination, or were there multiple NFLers on multiple teams doing the "We Must Eat" routine? I watched NFL Red Zone most of the day, and there seemed to be a few of these at least. If so, were they copying Denard or did he pick that up from somewhere?


Input: [Date] 3 years 40 weeks ago [Title] '89 vid [Body]

Output: Thanks for that 1989 embed. Tony Boles was a joy to watch on the field. Seemed like he was floating effortlessly (albeit, quickly) past everyone around him. Then a knee injury, and it was over. That was my senior year, and I went to the Rose Bowl (standard home win for USC and road loss for Michigan). Today, this caused me to look him upon Wikipedia. If you're looking for an excuse to be depressed, read his entry there.


Input: [Date] 3 years 44 weeks ago [Title] GERG???? [Body]

Output: Pardon a dumb question (since most of you seem to know the answer), but what does "GERG" mean? I know who it refers to but not the significance. thx.


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

Output: Agree it's kook aid. I'll drink it, too but only b/c I'm a fan. I'm realistic though. It's Michigan, and few teams have a better history for grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory and otherwise underachieving and breaking the hearts of its fans (with some notable exceptions, of course). This will be the best D Michigan has faced all year, so I'm not expecting the fireworks we've seen in weeks 1-5. I'm not saying Denard isn't great or won't have a good game tomorrow, but I'm not expecting wild things from him. That said, if anything, our WRs have been underrated this year. I think the 4 WRs would be No. 2 WRs on most college teams and No. 1 WRs on many. Bottom line, though, is that our defense is utterly hopeless. But for Denard, we would be no better than 2-3 this year against lousy competition. Barring some significant improvement, this doesn't bode well for the Big Ten season.


Input: [Date] 4 years 50 weeks ago [Title] season [Body]

Output: Season's over already. No D can survive this, let alone one that was collectively shaky at all positions to begin with. Unfortunately, this seals the deal for RichRod's tenure at UM, which bums me out b/c he's going in the exact direction they need to go in at the pace to be expected. In other words, the transition we've dealt w/ the last two years was a foregone, sucky conclusion before it happened. But the long-term payoff would be great if allowed to bear fruit -- and better than what we've had at UM for decades. That experiment may as well be over. if we can hook Harbaugh, then maybe we have a chance not to suck in five years. Sorry for the pessimism. I'm as bummed as anyone about this.

Input: [Date] 29 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I don't get all the misgivings re: this hire. I work in medicine and the first doctor I trained under was in his late 60s and behind on some of the newer things. Does this mean I do everything like him now? No. I develop my own techniques and knowledge based on the multitude of others I have worked with and trained under. I'm sure Coach Tolbert did the same. I'd trust Coach Harbaugh to know what's best for the program. [Title]

Output: No problem


Input: [Date] 29 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I worked several years with D-1 programs and the coaches who I saw get the most from their players were the ones who connected with them. You could see it at Friday nights dinners and pre game meals and meetings. Those kids just had a look in their eyes like they would run through a wall for that coach. [Title]

Output: My view

Input: [Date] 37 weeks 6 hours ago [Body] Don't stop rooting. They're kids for the most part trying their best. I root for to see their excitement when making a play. I root for how they rallied around Lloyd Carr's grandson and the kid espn did the special on earlier this year. [Title]

Output: Lots to root for


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 6 hours ago [Body] When I see the OL from Wisonsin, Nebraska, etc I see men out there. Our OL still looks like a bunch of fat high school kids. Yes I have seen pictures of Green shirtless and such but great physique does not always equal football strength. I see our front seven getting pushed around and I think this comes from poor technique and lack of overall strength. It starts in the winter and summer programs and I hope one area that is changed is the weight room. [Title]

Output: Strength and Conditioning


Input: [Date] 40 weeks 1 day ago [Body] There is not one player on this team who deserves a legends jersey. No #1, no #2. I like Ryan but he is playing out of position. No one on that team is playing up to anything. Just a bad football team [Title]

Output: Not one player


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Please stop trying to piss in my wheaties this morning. [Title]

Output: We won


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 3 days ago [Body] If he had been president of the university for 5 years and this was his first time ever showing up, I would say it means something. He may make this a once per year thing for all we know. [Title]

Output: No big deal


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 3 days ago [Body] The team is struggling and things have been rough. Former players want to come this weekend, a big weekend mind you, and show support and people somehow turn this into an orchestrated puppet show by Dave Brandon. No where does it mention him! Ever think the former players wanted to do this on their own? Let's Go Blue!! Beat Penn St!! [Title]

Output: I don't get it


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 5 days ago [Body] People are looking for any reason to bash the AD and the athletic department. Ever think the football players hear the boycott crap and get tired of it? That the team really does want fans there and those fans to be loud and get them hyped? Be positive, show up and cheer for a great game. Go blue! [Title]

Output: Agree


Input: [Date] 42 weeks 6 days ago [Body] This is Michigan- the students, the team, and the alumni. Not supporting the team is the most anti-Michigan thing I can think of. Show up on time, help get the team excited and earn a victory over PSU! Go blue!! [Title]

Output: Dumb idea


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 1 day ago [Body] Only thing any fan said to me "it's a long drive back to Lansing!!". What can you say? They're new to the Big Ten [Title]

Output: Only thing any fan said to me


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I don't watch Dave Brandon. I don't watch Brady Hoke. I watch Michigan Football. I think recruit Grant Newsome said (paraphrasing) "I didn't commit to the University of Brady Hoke. I committed to the University of Michigan". This whole boycott Maryland was the most idiotic thing on this board this week, created by the creator of this board who now says he'll wait and see what happens. Show up, cheer and and be a supporter....not a whiney ass. Go Blue! [Title]

Output: Will always watch


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 5 days ago [Body] You're assuming the student athletes are unhappy. Have you seen the facilities? The plans for renovations? Folks-we're not very good at football right now. I hope they turn it around and play well this weekend. Here's to great game Saturday and GO BLUE!! [Title]

Output: Huh?


Input: [Date] 43 weeks 6 days ago [Body] This fan base, specifically mgoblog, has lost its mind. You don't get the blood from the coach so you now turn your wrath to the athletic trainers and physicians? Its bad enough to read posts about boycotting games, wearing red and ripping tickets in half. What's next? Are you sure Shane's helmet was fit properly? Should we go after the equipment managers too? [Title]

Output: Pathetic


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 4 hours ago [Body] You have reached the Land of Stupid [Title]

Output: Goodbye mgoblog


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 6 hours ago [Body] Going to a Michigan football game is something I cherish. The crowd, the helmets, the banner, the Victors. I won't miss one minute of Michigan football. I'll yell as loud as possible when the band comes out that tunnel and when the Victors is played. Michigan football is more than Brady Hoke. More than Dave Brandon. There are a 100+ young men who get one shot at this in their lives and I'll be backing them 100%. [Title]

Output: Count me out


Input: [Date] 44 weeks 1 day ago [Body] This is the kind of talk that infuriates me. To call someone a piece of shit is ridiculous. By all accounts, people say he is a good, decent man. He supports the kids, the university and the philanthropic events they do. You may say you think he is an awful coach or should be fired. I think he should have taken Morris out even earlier. Lay off the piece of shit comments and find better ways to describe your viewpoint, [Title]

Output: Bogus


Input: [Date] 47 weeks 9 hours ago [Body] I once worked college football and in our coach's 3rd year we had 50+ freshmen and RS freshmen on the roster. This was due to the previous staff's horrible recruiting and "win it now" attitude by signing a bunch of JUCOs. We went 2-9 that year. 3 later that same group won the IAA national championship. Young talent takes time to develop. We'll get there. [Title]

Output: Personal experience


Input: [Date] 51 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Started off with Bloody Mary at 10 am on the first tee and just finished dinner with a Star Hill IPA.

Input: [Date] 1 year 7 weeks ago [Body] I too encourage people to register. I did so early last year when a friend's teenage daughter was diagnosed with a very aggressive leukemia. A selfless person became a match for her and she underwent a bone marrow transplant early last summer. At one point, she was hooked up to a device (ECMO) to keep her alive and given a less then 10% chance to survive. This past weekend, her family celebrated her high school graduation and she will on her way to college in the fall. Without the bone marrow transplant, it would have been a sadly different story. Its very easy to do. Just a cheek swab and mail it back in. Another website is bethematch.org. [Title]

Output: good cause

Input: [Date] 1 year 42 weeks ago [Body] You have no idea. Reliving it now is very frustrating. They go on and on about devin's accuracy issues when he was 11-14 up to that point [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 46 weeks ago [Body] Relax. It's a weekend trip to Cali for osu fans. Michigan fans would do the same thing if we played away at Cal. Osu has the same problem with their student section against weak opponents. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 47 weeks ago [Body] My cousin was in the band and I asked her this same question. She told me Michigan has more 'classical' instruments which is why they are quieter. Other bands are also bigger than Michigan's. [Title]
