Input: [Date] 5 years 23 weeks ago [Body] In fairness to Peterson, I think I recall his dad being in the military or something and they moved frequently which was the main reason for the multiple high schools. He was always very nice, polite, and seemed very quiet in my encounters with him. Again, off the top of my head I think he got booted for being involved in some incident with a stripper in WQ and a fight with a frat. I think his issue was that class had some serious bad seeds - Jason Brooks, Demetrius Smith, Ray Jackson (I think that was his name/he was a FB), and they all lived right near each other in the dorms. I think he was more of a follower that got sucked into trouble. He went on to have a decent and stable NFL career before injury derailed it. [Title]

Output: In fairness to Peterson, I

Output: Well, Mendocino does have all


Input: [Date] 5 years 23 weeks ago [Body] Yeah I loved it there - lived on 15th & Hermosa this summer - you could see the ocean from our deck and just open the door and a cool ocean breeze came through the house. Took a job in Irvine though and the hour commute each way was wearing me out. Some day I'll end up back up there. [Title]

I think it has to be the best place on earth. Newport Beach isn't terrible either, but Hermosa is well, hermosa. [Title]

Output: I like it except I think


Input: [Date] 5 years 23 weeks ago [Body] I actually had checked MGOBLOG - it is available. The problem with having a blog on your license plate is I don't really need any more help not getting laid. Plus Brian would probably get a lot of hate mail when I cut people off on my race to work in the morning. Yes - SoCal is ridiculous, every day I'm amazed that there are people that have lived their whole life with winters like this. I feel cheated out of the first 30 years of my life. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 week 1 day ago [Title] Um, you don't know what [Body]

Output: OP, you don't know what you're talking about. Williams and Pomona are, by almost any standard, top-ten colleges. (US News ranks them both in the top five.) Academically, they're on par with the top Ivies, and their acceptance standards are among the highest in the world. The whole "declining enrollment" thing doesn't really apply to these schools. And, anyway, the broader decline in college enrollment isn't about quality. it's about cost. Private colleges are more expensive than public ones. In a recession, guess what happens? Also, your logic is bizarre. So these tiny little colleges, with their relatively small endowments, are buying off Forbes? But the huge top-flight universities, with their massive endowments, are helpless lambs?


Input: [Date] 1 week 5 days ago [Title] People who do something this [Body]

Output: People who do something this stupid and ugly deserve to get trampled. And it's pure animal cruelty.

Output: OP: So you're not even going to mention the source of your information about Ole Miss? We're just supposed to believe you?


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I wouldn't pretend to know [Body]

Output: I wouldn't pretend to know how things will turn out for Shane. I'm cautiously optimistic. The one thing that did strike me, while watching his limited playing time, was that he seemed smaller and more slight than the average gun-slinging pocket-passer type. Is this perception accurate? Or no?


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 4 days ago [Title] You need to go to Iowa and [Body]

Output: You need to go to Iowa and Indiana. They're both great. Indiana is so old-school, you can enter the stadium at any time, day or night. And Iowa has a great atmosphere. Both towns are great, too. One warning: at both schools, I've never seen so many falling-down drunk students on game day.

Output: I love how people argue that noon games let them do stuff around the house but later ones don't. The games are the same length at any time. You still have half a day either way. What a ridiculous and lazy argument.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Nobody plays big noon games. [Body]

Output: Nobody plays big noon games. Even in November. You do realize the NFL plays deep into the winter and nobody seems to mind? Noon games are relics. And very few people like them.

Output: Noon sucks. Too sleepy and subdued.


Input: [Date] 3 weeks 6 days ago [Title] The screaming highlighter [Body]

Output: The screaming highlighter color could only be preferred by teenagers. The team has historically worn, maize (albeit in marginally different shades) because that happens to be the the intended color. Which also looks better.

Output: Seriousy, dude? Another thread on this inane topic? Really?


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I see your point. But mostly, [Body]

Output: I see your point. But mostly, I think, when you determine to attract as much attention as harbaugh does, you're also going to invite more scrutiny. Every little negative thing will be noted. That's just the way it goes. And it's not unfair.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Nick's online chats are [Body]

Output: Nick's online chats are particularly bad. He offers no new information or insights and basically just says "only time will tell" to every question. He's lazy and not terribly insightful. Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I don't think you understand [Body]

Output: I don't think you understand how journalism works. You think they should just sit on their hands and not report a player's allegations -- even after asking M for comment? If this were Bama, I bet you'd be the first guy accusing ESPN of a coverup.


Input: [Date] 4 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Yeah. Only a dumbass like you [Body]

Output: Yeah. Only a dumbass like you would make this a partisan political issue.

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Title] No. The coaches already know [Body]

Output: No. The coaches already know we'll have a few medicals and a few fifth-years who won't be back. So they haven't over signed. They're under no obligation to inform us of the current roster numbers.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Correct. It's so early in the [Body]

Output: Correct. It's so early in the cycle, things haven't had a chance to shake out. Inevitably, at least a few of these kids will go elsewhere -- ones that get late offers from their local team, or ones worried they'll get buried on michigan's depth chart.


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Oversigning isn't measured [Body]

Output: Oversigning isn't measured until the end of the recruiting year.

Output: There's literally zero chance that guys like Gary will be turned away.

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I think you're generally [Body]

Output: I think you're generally right. But most of the 2-stars will become 3s. And a few 3s will become 4s. It's just the nature of the beast. Under the radar kids who make high-profile commits inevitably get more attention and benefit of the doubt.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 hours ago [Title] Given the universe of random [Body]

Output: Given the universe of random OT posts -- where to dine in Paris, Game of Thrones blather -- this doesn't seem off-base. It involves a blue-chip player at a B10 football rival.

Output: Which reliable people? I don't see anyone at the big sites saying this.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 hours ago [Title] Well, he's evidently alone in [Body]

Output: Well, he's evidently alone in that opinion, since none of the other "experts" has Jackson to Michigan.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Perhaps you haven't been [Body]

Output: Perhaps you haven't been informed that we probably have roughly 10 more slots to fill. The class is likely to end up closer to 25 than 14, according to most "insiders." We could easily end up with 10-12 4-stars (and maybe one or two 5-stars). Also, most of our 2-stars will end up as 3-stars; some of the 3-stars will become 4s. We could very likely end up with a Top 10 class. Top 15, at worst.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Seriously, do you not realize [Body]

Output: Seriously, do you not realize we'd end up with 10-12 three-stars no matter what (assuming a class close to 25)? Nobody recruits 90 percent 4-5 stars. We still have about 20 spots saved for the tougher gets, who tend to hold out until later in the process. Better to fill out your roster now, then focus on the touch pulls. We'll get some, lose some. But the current pattern makes sense.

Output: Morris has two left, I think.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 2 days ago [Title] But they're not all taking [Body]

Output: But they're not all taking the place of 4 stars. We still have maybe a dozen more slots. No team except maybe the top few gets all 4-5 stars. In the end, we could still have two-thirds four stars. And that's excellent. So calm down.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I think you possibly [Body]

Output: I think you possibly overestimate the degree to which coaching at camps ultimately matters. You can only learn so much in such a very short time, especially when there's like 20 other qbs there. These camps are mostly about PR and ego.


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 4 days ago [Title] I don't get why everyone [Body]

Output: I don't get why everyone keeps using the word retirement when what he actually said is that he's taking a year or so off from the NFL.

Output: Every team on every board has the complain. Except ND.

Output: Yeah. Because one guy didn't work out a zillion years ago, let's avoid foreign players. It's a smaller world now with better scouting.

Output: So actually you're saying Schefter is a patently unethical journalist who whores for the NFL?

Output: Please. Game of Thrones is a cheesy fantasy show for adolescent boys.

Output: Yeah. There's no reason to believe he performs an invaluable service for the coach. He never has in the past. And barely spent time on this job. So chances are he's just a crony.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 6 hours ago [Title] Why do so many posters here [Body]

Output: Why do so many posters here assume Winston will go to Michigan? The recruiting sites pretty much universally call him a heavy MSU lean. Am I missing something?

Output: God it's tiresome when defensive posters whine about every little perceived slight by the Free Press or MSM. Calm down. It's nothing. Stop being so reactionary.


Input: [Date] 11 weeks 3 days ago [Title] I'm all for standing. But [Body]

Output: I'm all for standing. But some posters here don't seem to appreciate that there's a substantial contingent of fans -- older ones -- who really can't comfortably stand for 3+ hours. Many of these fans are old loyalists who deserve more respect. And a lot of younger fans are inconsiderate.

Output: True. There are plenty of trades that don't require degrees. But there's wide consensus that college degrees are very important when it comes to finding quality white collar jobs.

Input: [Date] 16 weeks 1 day ago [Title] It would be unethical for [Body]

Output: It would be unethical for Beilein to force a situational "medical" on a player, based on whether or not Beilein lands a certain recruit. Hatch is either a medical hardship case or he's not. Based on Beilein's track record, I'd guess he'll handle this situation the right way. Otherwise, he'd be no better than an SEC footballl coach. Plus, it's entirely possible another player on the roster will choose to leave.

But this transfer hardly seems likely -- unless the kid has somehow fallen out with his team. But I've seen no indication of same. EDIT: If his mother just got a job at UM, I guess that's motivation enough. But does anyone have any meaningful indication that her son is actually hoping to transfer? Or are people just assuming? If so, that's a big assumption.

But he hasn't. And he clearly has some attachment to Michigan. Plus, Harbaugh and Wheatley. Plus, doesn't Urban normally forbid verbal commits from meeting with coaches from M and MSU? If Weber just met with Dantonio, and if he's scheduled to meet Harbaugh, wouldn't this suggest that he and OSU aren't very solid?

Input: [Date] 26 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Barring absolute catastrophe [Body]

Output: Barring absolute catastrophe with Morris or Speight during the pre-season, we should assume the coaches intend to RS the two incoming freshmen. Which means we only have two QBs. Which means Bellomy probably sticks.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Thank you for saying this. [Body]

Output: Thank you for saying this. Sure, S&C coaches are important. But jeez. Rare is the S&C coach who's a game-changer, one way or the other. I'm sure Barwis is a perfectly good one. But mostly, it seemed, he just had a good branding thing going. When a team is no good, everyone always points to the S&C coach. Usually, though, it's more complicated than that.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Well, the same attributes [Body]

Output: Well, the same attributes applied to the past seven years, so let's not be too hard on the one guy. You could say the same thing about the "legendary" Barwis. Those teams always faded, too.

Output: Although nobody wants to acknowledge this, it's actually a good book.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Carmelo is obviously far more [Body]

Output: Carmelo is obviously far more talented than Darko. But Carmelo is also a prima donna ball-hog whose overall contribution does not justify his huge salary. The real prize was Wade.


Input: [Date] 26 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Josh Smith was by far the [Body]

Output: Josh Smith was by far the worse of the two. Retrospect is easy. At the time, though, everybody wanted Darko. Drafting him was a reasonable bet, especially given how few draft picks are sure things. Smith, by contrast, was widely known to be selfish, overrated, and generally not a good egg. The team didn't revolt against Darko. And his contract wasn't nearly as crippling as Smith's. This isn't a close call.

Output: I understand why the coaches are saying this to recruits. It's the literal truth. But I'm sure the coaches know the transition will ultimately produce some attrition (and will therefore open additional spots). There will be guys who just don't fit the Harbaugh Way. Or don't want to fit. We'll likely see a few transfers by the time spring practice is done. Also, the whole "we only have a few spots left" is a helpful sales pitch.

Input: [Date] 27 weeks 2 days ago [Title] If I were a coach, a silent [Body]

Output: If I were a coach, a silent commit would make me far more nervous than a kid who isn't yet committed. Silent implies significant degrees of uncertainty and deception, and I'd constantly be wondering if I'm being played. With silent commits, you're holding places for them. With players who haven't committed, at least you can keep recruiting other players at that position and not be left holding the bag on NSD. I do wonder re the percentage of silent commits who end up backing out. But I guess we'll never know.


Input: [Date] 27 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Yeah, although he's failed as [Body]

Output: Yeah, although he's failed as a HC, he seems to be a pretty talented OC. Bama fans loved him till the OSU loss. Then the fans naturally blamed him for everything -- even though it was Bama's defense that really fell flat. Such is the life of an OC.

Input: [Date] 27 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Good for DG. During his brief [Body]

Output: Good for DG. During his brief stint at WR, he definitely showed promise -- especially for a complete newbie. Sometimes his route-running was off. But of course it was. Also, he wasn't exactly blessed with a high-caliber passing attack. He's a really smart guy, and a remarkable athlete. He could make this transition. He may well be a better long-term investment than a certain other Michigan WR.

Input: [Date] 28 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Yeah, the whole "LA is a bad [Body]

Output: The whole "LA is a bad sports town" is yet another one of those lame cliches about the city. Most of its teams -- Dodgers, Lakers, Kings, even the Galaxy -- draw very well. The Clips and Angels do respectably. So do USC and UCLA. Yes, attendance tends to flag when the teams struggle. But you could say that about most cities. Been to a Pistons game lately? Or a typical MSU football game? LA's NFL reputation had merit only to the extent that LA -- where there's plenty of alternatives, and where there's no real winter -- doesn't desperately need NFL football. But its "failure" to keep an NFL team stemmed mostly from bad, flighty ownership. Also, today's NFL is far more popular than it was when the Rams played in LA. And while it's true that LA fans tend to arrive late and leave early, that's generally a function of LA freeway traffic. If you're leaving work at 6 PM, or if you've got to get the kids in bed by 10, you're gonna miss part of the game.

Output: It's ridiculous how swiftly and decisively the peanut-gallery has given up on Shane. No, he hasn't set the world on fire. But he's had very limited game experience, under pretty crappy circumstances. Most QBs ride the pine for 2 or 3 years. And most need substantial starting reps before they hit their strides. (Few people saw much potential in a young Tom Brady, either). Everybody points to the young QBs at FSU and OSU -- but those QBs are a) exceptional and b) surrounded by NFL-caliber lines and RBs. Give Shane a minute to prove himself before you summarily dismiss him.

Output: It's highly unlikely that M will have to pay SF anything. By most accounts, NFL contracts are restrictive only re the NFL. A coach can quit the NFL, and therefore his NFL contract, at any time, without penalty. It's unlikely Harbaugh's contract prohibits him from leaving for the college ranks. I'm not sure such a contract would even be legal.

Output: Thank you for saying this. It's unbelievable that people care who makes the uniforms -- especially since it's the school that makes the ultimate call on what it will and won't wear. And at this point, post-Brandon, it seems unlikely the school will venture too far from the traditional looks. As long as the team improves, I'd be happy if Underoos makes the uniforms.

Output: I don't believe any coaches strictly abide by this purported "honor code." It's totally fine to keep recruiting players who've given verbal commitments elsewhere. Commits are fair game until they sign or say "please stop recruiting me."


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Hard to say what our [Body]

Output: Hard to say what our decommits will do. Generally, though, Harbaugh's arrival would no doubt have a sensational impact on this recruiting class. He's one of the true coaching rock stars. He'll pull at least a few big recruits. Also, given his reputation with QBs, don't be surprised if he makes a serious run at one of the most coveted QB recruits -- to go along with Malzone, presumably. (Given that M has no established QBs, I could see Harbaugh taking two this year. Yes, it's a small class. But all coaching changes bring attrition, and this class could easily exceed 16). Four of the top QB prospects -- Rosen, Town, White, Browning -- are from California, where Harbaugh's reputation looms especially large. All four are committed elsewhere. But here's guessing at least one of them would return Harbaugh's calls.

Output: They need to bite the bullet, do the right thing, and blow this team up for draft-picks. Maybe keep Drummond and build around him -- if he's willing to be the anchor of a total rebuild. Which he may not be. Beyond him, they really have a bunch of replaceable and poorly matched parts. Monroe is good but not great. And he doesn't want to be here anyway.

Input: [Date] 31 weeks 3 days ago [Title] Yup. And it's not as if [Body]

Output: Yup. And it's not as if Schlissel can control Harbaugh's thoughts and actions. Schlissel acted surely. He put a (hopefully, evidently) competent AD in place. And the AD has ample money to offer Harbaugh. The rest is out of Schlissel's hands. Also, if we're to glean anything from comments made by botth Schissel and Hackett, it's that M has limited its candidate-pool to coaches who haven't taken "short-cuts." That's a bold statement -- especially if they hold true to it. We'll see.


Input: [Date] 31 weeks 3 days ago [Title] His apology seemed [Body]

Output: His apology seemed unnecessary. M has allowed in athletes with substandard grades. Some of these students have no doubt struggled. The recent graduation rate is great. But M, like so many other schools, has frequently steered students down the ol' General Studies/Kinesiology path. Neither is necessarily bad. But they tend to be the paths of least resistence, academically speaking. I assume a brilliant educator like Schlissel, having reviewed everything, had reason to come to his initial conclusion. He simply thinks M could do better on this front. Which is true. His apology, I'd imagine, was mostly a diplomatic one.

Input: [Date] 32 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Michigan doesn't need to [Body]

Output: Michigan doesn't need to "freeze" its few remaining recruits. Hackett said the coach will be hired by the beginning of the year. Recruits won't be doing much in the meantime. And there's no need to make a hasty hire just to satisfy the whims of a few recruits. That would be incredibly short-sighted. Make the best hire, not the fastest. Think long-term.

But Mormons live all over the place. In fact, doing so is encouraged by their church. So I think non-Mormons jump to conclusions about their desires and priorities. Consider also that Mormon schools/state schools are probably just more likely to hire Mormon coaches. Just saying.

Output: Not really sure we need to


Input: [Date] 3 years 20 weeks ago [Body] Being a Kent State grad, I'm pretty familiar with Ohio (not that Ohio). They are streaky behind the arc, very quick, and athletic. They rank near the top of NCAA in steals. When their shots are dropping they can be a load. At the same time, they dont' really have a lot of height under the rim and rely almost exclusively on their guards to make plays. I'm still trying to decide whether I like this matchup. Additional Note: Walter Offutt, a transfer from Ohio (yes that Ohio), plays for Bobcats. He has had a very good year and was a regular contributor for Buckeyes as a freshman. [Title]

Output: Being a Kent State grad, I'm

Input: [Date] 3 years 22 weeks ago [Body] I spoke with an Ohio fan who explained (a) Michigan's O-Line haul in 2012 and thus far in 2013 is irrelevant because Ohio garnered the top D-Line class in 2012. And (b) the commits with offers from both schools chose MIchigan because they didn't have "Commitable" offers from Ohio State. He can't seem to accept that Hoke and the UM staff have beat Meyer to the punch on several recruits (getting in early). Discussing football and recruiting with Ohio fans sometimes reminds of of talking to my 9 year old nephew. [Title]

Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Body] This is good news! We'll have an opportunity to see BWC and QWash tonight, albeit against a weak offensive front. Pipkins will need to step it up EARLY next year as we will need him in a relief role at the very least, possibly as a starter. [Title]

Output: This is good news! We'll


Input: [Date] 3 years 29 weeks ago [Body] I like them. Looking back I recall the stripes on the sleeves of the away jerseys. Aside from some of the finer details such as the numbers they do look much better on the players. I can only hope that the white pants are NEVER EVER worn again however. I have spoken with a few friends this week and, according to principle, I understand the reticence to accept this alternative jersey thing. In many ways I completely agree. Yet, it appears to be a vogue marketing and recruiting tool and hey, at least the three different looks we've sported haven't made us look like complete clowns (uh MSU, MD, OR) [Title]

Output: I like them. Looking back I


Input: [Date] 3 years 32 weeks ago [Body] I just spoke to a friend of mine who grew up in Pittsburgh. His words were "Pitt needs to fire their AD immediately." First, the moron hired Haywood without conducting a background check and thus was unaware that he had been arrested on domestic assault charges. Next, he chooses Graham over Bradley. [Title]

Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Title] It was the finals in 97 [Body]

Output: We had the honor of getting trucked by Webber in the 91 finals as well. Crazy thing is that Vall was the third best player on that team but the only one that had his head screwed on straight to take advantage of a D1 scholarship offer. At least one other guy had one but combination of test scores and general knuckleheadedness prevented that.

This year's participants are Pacific, Alaska-Anchorage, Missouri State, Colorado State, Rice, Mercer, Washington State and UC Santa Barbara. Last year was Harvard, Denver, Wisconsin-Green Bay, Pepperdine, TCU, Alaska, Tulsa and Indiana State, so not exactly a stacked field.

Output: Yeah, no GoT really sucks.

Output: Hmmmn, interesting news but


Input: [Date] 1 year 11 weeks ago [Body] Wow, so much negativity. I bet at least one of these guys turns into a great receiver eventually. And I bet at least one of them sees significant playing time this year, not just on special teams. I know not every recruit is going to be a stud, but I would be very surprised if all three of them turned out to be busts. As bluekoj said, there is almost nothing to go on at this point. Lets give them a chance before we just write off the entire 2013 receiver class. [Title]

Output: Wow, so much negativity. I


Input: [Date] 1 year 11 weeks ago [Body] After reading the above comments, I'm now convinced the NFL draft is the perfect Rorschach test for Michigan fans. The optimists see the silver lining and the haters see confirmation that the coaches suck. [Title]

Output: Rorschach Test


Input: [Date] 1 year 12 weeks ago [Body] I'd be really pissed if I were the security guard. He suffered a vicious attack for simply doing his job. If it were me, I'd want Jayru Campbell to receive the full wrath of the law (as a minor, not the bs where they often find some loophole to charge kids as adults), not some slap on the wrist. Counciling and anger management classes.....what a joke. [Title]

Output: I'd be really pissed if I


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] I have no problem holding the coaching staff accountable. But I absolutely insist that we give them a few years to rebuild first, then fire 'em if they aren't getting the job done. I'm not sure RR was the best for Michigan but I definitely don't want his replacement to be run out of town before he even has a chance to field a decent team. And I don't want to be in a 20 year cycle of rebuilding like Notre Dame. [Title]

Output: I have no problem holding the


Input: [Date] 1 year 13 weeks ago [Body] Seems like stability to the program arrived with Hoke. I hope we actually follow through and give him a chance to rebuild the program. Otherwise we will be rebuilding for another 3-4 years if we get rid of him after this year. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 15 weeks ago [Body] Yep GoT and Walking Dead are great. I also am absolutely loving the first two episodes of Turn on AMC so far. Another good one that I just watched is the first season of Black Sails (on Starz). And Vikings (History Channel) is pretty awesome too if you haven't seen that yet. I've heard some people say that The Black List is good. I liked the first few episodes but it got silly when every week they catch a new super-criminal/terrorist. I don't really like one hour self contained shows anymore. Instead I prefer the series format. And yeah, Project Free TV is the best. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 22 weeks ago [Body] Perhaps you guys know more about this than I do. I live many states away and have only read a little about this but from my understanding, there were never any charges filed against Gibbons because the alleged victim did not want to pursue the matter. Then many years after the alleged rape that never warranted any charges, Gibbons is suddenly expelled because of a change in University policy. So Gibbons gets thrown under the bus by the university and now his reputation is forever destroyed.....and he may not have even done anything wrong? If anyone's civil rights were violated, it was Gibbons. Or am I missing some important legal details? [Title]

Output: What About Gibbons' Civil Rights?


Input: [Date] 1 year 25 weeks ago [Body] I don't know about that. The fans demand wins or the coaches head. Are we willing to trade our higher academic and character standards for wins on the field? LF is saying yes, loosen the standards. I'm not saying he's right, but he does sound like much of our fan base. [Title]

Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] Mark May must really know how to push his buttons because Holtz just lost it when May said he was out of order. Holtz yells "I'm sick of everybody jumping on coach". I guess he's earned the right to just go by the nickname coach, but who talks about themselves in the third person like that? [Title]

Output: What a little Diva


Input: [Date] 1 year 45 weeks ago [Body] This is in reply to you and Mr. Rager. From Wikipedia: On January 15, 1982, Texas A&M offered Schembechler nearly $3 million for 10 years—the richest contract in the history of college athletics at that time—to become the school's football coach and athletic director. Schembechler turned it down. "Frankly, I've come to the conclusion that there are things more important in this world than money," Schembechler said. "For that reason, I've decided to stay at Michigan."[5] But thats not the whole story according to my father (U of M alumni graduated mid 70's). My dad says that Bo was very close to leaving. Three million over 10 years was an astronomical sum at the time and Bo was certainly tempted. But at the 11th hour some Michigan alumni got together led by Tom Monighan and bought Bo two Dominos Pizza franchises (in Columbus, OH by the way) and the University gave him a 40% raise so he would stay in Ann Arbor. [Title]

Output: Bo almost left in '82 for money

Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Body] ESPN just did an "exit interview" thing with all of the departing seniors. One of the questions was about which 2012 red-shirt they expect to make a big impact this year. At least three of them picked Jeremy Clark and had some really nice things to say about his development and his performance on last years scout team. I don't think he's going to beat out Thomas Gordon and Jerrod Wilson for the starting safety spots, but it sounds like he has a good chance to see some playing time this year. http://insider.espn.go.com/colleges/michigan/football/story/_/id/9206884/departing-seniors-believe-michigan-wolverines-good-hands [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Body] I am completely baffled as to what point you're trying to make and I'm quite sure my point sailed right over you're head too. You picked two outstanding examples of what a real football players ought to be. Devin and Denard have always done whatever the coaches want without complaint or hesitation - block, tackle, switch positions, etc.... And you would never ever hear those words (I don't want to block) coming out of their mouths. Like I said above, maybe the interviewer misunderstood or failed to follow up with a question letting him know he would be doing a lot of blocking as a receiver at Michigan? But all I have to judge is this quote that makes Andrews sound like a bit of a prima donna. [Title]

Output: I am completely baffled as to


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Body] Yeah I can't believe the interviewer didn't ask a follow up. Thats an incredibly shocking thing for a football player to say and not clarify. [Title]

Output: Yeah I can't believe the


Input: [Date] 2 years 14 weeks ago [Body] I'm glad we missed on Mark Andrews. He doesn't want to block? GTFO with that crap and go play dolls or something. You don't think Jeremy Gallon blocks his tail off? Wow, I've literally never heard a football player say those words. [Title]

Output: Andrews is not a true football player.

Just like what the pay sites are trying to sell me for the low low price of $9.99 per month!!!!

Input: [Date] 2 years 27 weeks ago [Body] Hand specifically names Bud Foster as his favorite coach but says Michigan's coaching staff is his favorite. After reading the article I think the op is making a big deal out of nothing. The interviewer just quoted some nice things Hand had to say about each of his top 5 schools. He definitely wasn't hinting at Michigan being his leader because he likes the coaching staff the best. [Title]

Output: Hand specifically names Bud


Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Not sure if you're updating you're list but I've heard quite a few names that should be added to your list.

Input: [Date] 2 years 28 weeks ago [Body] Wow, this sucks. That was my second favorite Michigan site behind mgoblog. I'm dissappointed but they deserve it and 247 will be a lot better because of these guys. Everyone should take this as a reminder to click on a few ads here on MgoBlog.

Output: I believe Reon Dawson is also


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Body] I miss the days when players stayed with one team for their whole careers. But those days are long gone and Wells is just stating reality. And towards the end of the article Wells admits he hasn't lived up to expectations. [Title]

Output: I don't think this makes BW look bad


Input: [Date] 2 years 31 weeks ago [Body] I was trying to think of who the sixth EE this year was and you nailed it. Thanks. [Title]

Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] I was just on the free 24/7 message board and someone copied and pasted an LT tweet from three hours ago: Laquon Treadwell @SuccessfulQuon “@ShaneKTTM: @SuccessfulQuon you officially visiting Michigan?” Yes Hmmmn.........I sure hope this report is wrong. [Title]

Output: Does not compute....


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] We're way too thin at CB still. I guess if Lewis turns out to be better as a receiver, that is where he will eventually end up but we really need depth at CB right now. And as others have pointed out, he might need a year to get bigger before he is ready for any positionl [Title]

Output: This.


Input: [Date] 2 years 32 weeks ago [Body] A few years back Charles Barkley was considering running for Governor of Alabama. When a reporter asked about a possible run he said "why not, if it weren't for Mississippi and Arkansas, Alabama would be last in everything". [Title]

Output: To your point


Input: [Date] 2 years 33 weeks ago [Body] I'm glad you posted the "good" in your title. There has been so much bad recruiting news lately I'm just happy to get through the day without losing another recruit. This is indeed, very good news. [Title]

Output: I'm glad you posted the


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I have no problem with giving these kids a gift package for all the hard work they put in. Too bad they don't get a little share of the bowl payouts too. It would be nice if they got a check for a thousand bucks or something and call it a grant or scholarship award. [Title]

Output: Nice Schwag


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] Sorry for another "I heard" comment but I've also heard that Stribling is due for a big ratings bump. I was assuming that mean't he would be a 4-star. Not that I care so much about stars and rankings, but it does seem like an affirmation of our coaches eye for talent, eh? [Title]

Output: Sorry for another "I heard"


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I believe I saw a tweet last week regarding Deveon Smith and Rivals rankings. Supposedly he's going to make a huge leap into the top 100 today due to the monster senior season he's having. Deveon my be one of our most underrated recruits to this point. [Title]

Output: I believe I saw a tweet last


Input: [Date] 2 years 34 weeks ago [Body] I'd be really suprised. He was like our 3rd commit right after Shane and Dymonte. I'm sure there is some other explanation. [Title]

Output: I'd be really suprised. He


Input: [Date] 2 years 35 weeks ago [Body] I laughed too when I saw Snoop's pic next to Jeremy Gallon's name. Quite a resemblence. [Title]

Output: Snoop Pearson


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Body] I hate ND for a bunch of reasons. First of all would be their smarmy fans. I'm originally from the Chicago burbs and ND fans are just as unbearable as Ohio or Lil' Brother. Next, would be the fact that they just snubbed the B1G in favor of the ACC. And finally, although I could probably go on, is that they don't deserve the season they are having. We should've beaten them and a few other teams probably should've too. ND proves that being lucky is better than being good. [Title]

Output: I hate ND for a bunch of


Input: [Date] 2 years 36 weeks ago [Body] I'll always remember the day Bo died because one of my female co-workers who knew I was a big Michigan fan came running into my office saying that Michigan's coach had died. I was horrified and couldn't believe Coach Carr dropped dead right in the middle of the season. After frantically looking around the internet I realized it was Bo, not Lloyd that had passed. [Title]

Output: I'll always remember the day


Input: [Date] 2 years 38 weeks ago [Body] Scorpion! [Title]

Output: Scorpion!


Input: [Date] 2 years 40 weeks ago [Body] They tried to steal Bo from us in the early eighties. I was too young to remember the details but my father talks about Bo almost leaving for a $3 million/10 yrs payday to Texas A&M. Back then, it was richest ever I think. But the Alumni got together and took care of Bo. I think they gave him a couple of pizza franchises or something. [Title]

Output: Another reason to hate TAMU


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] The gay friends I have might refer to each other as "queer" and mean it as a term of endearment, but would be offended if a stranger just showed up and started calling people queers. Sort of like the "n" word can be acceptable among the African-American community. Oops, didn't read jhender85's above post. Pretty much same sentiment here. [Title]

Output: Disagree


Input: [Date] 2 years 44 weeks ago [Body] Would've been funnier if they drew dicks on him or something. [Title]

Output: Would've been funnier if they


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Body] Sort of reminds me of an old Dikembe Mutombo story/rumor. Supposedly, he and his team (Atlanta Hawks) walked into a strip club and the first thing he said to the women was "Who want to sex Mutombo?" [Title]

Output: Who want to sex Mutombo?


Input: [Date] 2 years 48 weeks ago [Body] I believe Shane wanted to enroll early, but his school (De La Salle) doesn't have the ability and/or inclination to allow him to do that. [Title]

Output: I believe Shane wanted to


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] 11 Warriors is using it too. Right now. http://www.elevenwarriors.com/ Look near the top right of the homepage for the poll. The last poll choice is AIHRBG. Btw, feel free to influence their nice little poll while you're at it. [Title]

Output: 11 Warriors too


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] In that interview, Beyer said that he switched positions from last year. I believe he is not the starting WDE this year. What position did he play last year? [Title]

Output: In that interview, Beyer said


Input: [Date] 2 years 49 weeks ago [Body] Me too. Reminds me of the Bo/Woody days. My father and grandfather used to tell stories of Woody sending spies up to watch our practices and Bo closing them to the media. Even if Hoke is just being paranoid, it ads to the mystique of the program by keeping practices closed to the public. [Title]

Output: Me too. Reminds me of the

Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] A close friend of mine quit the football team after his freshman year in college. We all asked him to reconsider and told him that he was making a mistake, throwing away a huge opportunity, etc.... None of that mattered to him. He didn't like getting hit constantly. I think my dissappointment came because I felt like he was blowing an opportunity I never had. [Title]

Output: A close friend of mine quit


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] Now that you mention that, I remember him playing well too. I even remember him sort of chasing down and tackling Stephon Diggs during that game. [Title]

Output: Now that you mention that, I


Input: [Date] 2 years 50 weeks ago [Body] Ondre confessed to being around 360 lbs at the Army All American game last year so he's already slimmed down considerably. [Title]

Output: I think he played better than


Input: [Date] 3 years 3 days ago [Body] I read somewhere that Derrick Green at one point weighed 270 lbs. Anyone know more about his background? Guess we'll find out more about him in his impending Hello post. [Title]

Output: I read somewhere that Derrick


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Body] For obvious reasons, Michigan fans are blissfully unaware of a offensive line recruiting battle going on at Cass Tech for the services of Dennis Finley. Finley is a 6-7 300 lb OT who is rated as a mid 3 star on all the recruiting sites except ESPN where he was awarded a fourth star (just barely). Given the fact that most of the OL talent in the Midwest has already committed elsewhere, Urban Meyer is going after Finley pretty hard at this point I believe. Michigan State wants him too as well as Wisconsin and Illinois and some lower tier schools too. Unfortunately, there's just not enough room for every Cass Tech kid at Michigan. Cough, cough....Delano Hill. [Title]

Output: Unfortunately UFM is Tapping in to Cass Tech


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Body] Are the coaches firm @ 24 in this class? If Treadwell and McQuay or Green commit and then Fuller or Hargreaves wanted to be a part of this class, would the coaches make room somehow? [Title]

Output: Are the coaches firm @ 24 in


Input: [Date] 3 years 1 week ago [Body] Wow, the man does it all. And with class. [Title]

Output: Hmmmn. In this scenario, I


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] You're the one who needs to be told not to get their panties in a bunch. A few posts ago, you blatantly accused Auburn of cheating and paying players for the past 30 years. Now you're flipping your lid because another random dared to suggest Alabama may be as dirty as any SEC team. You're a funny little troll. [Title]

Output: You're the one who needs to


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] Rational Buckeye- Is there any truth to the rumor that the coaches are considering moving Billy Price to the offensive side of the ball because of lack of depth? [Title]

Output: Billy Price to OT?


Input: [Date] 3 years 2 weeks ago [Body] I believe USC's 2013 class will be 18 recruits. From what I've read, they are limited to 15 schollies per year but as long as 3 of the recruits EE, they can be counted towards last years class. But I could be wrong so somebody correct me if you know better. [Title]

Output: I believe USC's 2013 class


Input: [Date] 3 years 3 weeks ago [Body] I agree. And I don't think the coaches would accept a commitment unless he's 100%. The things that bother me about this is that just a week ago he planned on visiting Oklahoma and Ok. St. as well as possibly visiting USC. Thats a huge change in such a short time. Guess we will find out "soon" according to the young man himself. [Title]

Output: I agree. And I don't think

Input: [Date] 3 years 4 weeks ago [Body] Funny. Tell Magnus he goes by Successful Quon on twitter. I don't think he'd be insulted by M fans calling him Quon. [Title]

Output: Funny. Tell Magnus he goes


Input: [Date] 3 years 5 weeks ago [Body] I would think even someone from W. Virginia would believe we gave RR a fair chance. He had 3 seasons at a premier football university. His best season was 7-6 and he lost every game to our cheif rivals OSU and MSU. Even if he were given a fourth year (last year), no one believes he would've won 11 games including the Sugar Bowl. [Title]

Output: I would think even someone
